The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Zhao Hua saw the terrifying look in his father’s eyes and shrank back a little, whispering, "Father, didn’t you say earlier that Young Master Xuan was a good choice? It was because my sister overheard this that she became so deeply attached to Young Master Xuan..."

"What deep attachment? What nonsense are you talking about? Where’s this deep attachment?" Grand Tutor Zhao was furious.

Zhao Hua was startled. What he spoke was the truth. Wasn’t that his sister’s intention? There were no outsiders here, yet his father was still so cautious.

He stammered, "Then Father, what should we do? Should we throw out the betrothal gifts?"

Grand Tutor Zhao indeed wanted to, but could he do that now?

His Yan’er was seen by so many people in a room with Huangfu Yuxuan, both in disarray, even though it was concluded that they were framed and schemed against. So what?

But letting Yan’er marry Huangfu Yuxuan, he still felt somewhat unwilling.

He said coldly to Zhao Hua, "Have Huangfu Yuxuan come to the study to see me!"

Zhao Hua replied, "Yes!"

Huangfu Yuxuan was very reluctant when preparing the betrothal gifts, but by the time they were being carried out the door, he had already figured out the crux of the matter.

So when he personally went to deliver the betrothal gifts, his attitude was already correct.

At this moment, upon learning that Grand Tutor Zhao wanted to meet him in the study, he immediately went.

The young servant led him to the door of the study and stopped there.

Huangfu Yuxuan straightened his clothing and then knocked on the door.

Inside, Grand Tutor Zhao’s voice was deep, "Come in!"

After entering, Huangfu Yuxuan respectfully made a bow, bending deeply, "Yuxuan greets Uncle Zhao!"

Grand Tutor Zhao’s eagle-like gaze fixed on him, getting straight to the point, "Was this your doing?"

Huangfu Yuxuan: "..."

He tried to deny it, "It wasn’t me..."

Grand Tutor Zhao cut him off decisively, "I say it was you, naturally, it’s not an unfounded accusation. You’d better be honest in front of me! How coincidental that the remnants of the Dragon Nest Tribe just happened to appear? You think you can deceive me?"

Huangfu Yuxuan was also a man of pride, and being scolded like this by Grand Tutor Zhao made him somewhat angry. However, he was very aware of his current situation, and the Prince Ning Mansion did the job quite poorly, fooling ordinary people, but for someone like Grand Tutor Zhao, how could they be deceived?

He sighed softly and said, "I indeed had a hand in it, but as for the situation developing to that extent, even I couldn’t foresee it. But since it’s already happened, I won’t evade responsibility. I will give Keyan the best wedding, and remain consistent with her!"

Grand Tutor Zhao did not soften his expression as a result of Huangfu Yuxuan’s promise. His eyes were cold, "My daughter is both talented and beautiful, of respectable birth, raised with great care. In the Capital City’s circle of noble ladies, if she claims second, no one dares claim first! Such an outstanding daughter isn’t meant to marry into an ordinary family, to live a mundane life of husband and child management!"

The words were impolite and daring!

The Second Young Master of Prince Liang Mansion, is that still considered an ordinary family? What kind of family is he referring to as extraordinary?

He doesn’t want his daughter to live a mundane life of husband and child management, does that mean he wants her to reach the supreme status, above all?

Huangfu Yuxuan didn’t know how to respond.

Grand Tutor Zhao continued coldly, "Do you think just because the princely heir’s conferral request was sent up, you will certainly be conferred as the princely heir, so a Princess Consort Liang and future Princess Liang is worthy of my Yan’er?"

Huangfu Yuxuan was again taken aback.

Grand Tutor Zhao’s words contained much information. Could it be that Grandfather’s thoughts have changed, and his affection has waned, so much that even with Father’s conferral request, Grandfather won’t agree?

Grand Tutor Zhao emerged from the palace; if he said so, it means that Grandfather is in hesitation?

Huangfu Yuxuan’s mind turned quickly, immediately bowing respectfully, "Uncle Zhao, certainly, Princess Liang won’t be Keyan’s final destination. I’m not talented, yet I refuse to live an ordinary life. Currently, Grandfather hasn’t yet appointed the Crown Prince. Though the imperial heart is hard to gauge, due to its unpredictable nature, who knows if Grandfather might appoint not a Crown Prince, but an Imperial Grandson instead?"

Upon saying this, he fixed his gaze on Grand Tutor Zhao.

It was Grand Tutor Zhao who first spoke directly and boldly, giving him the courage to speak such words.

He is a cautious person.

Yet, he is also a proud person.

Upon entering this study, he knew he was not favored by Grand Tutor Zhao. Not being satisfied with Zhao Keyan and the power of Grand Tutor Zhao, yet not expecting himself to be under their scrutiny either.
