Chapter 234: Doubt
"Ugh... give me a quick death, end it all at once!" The Crown Prince had an expression of agony. He reached out, grabbed Sun Jiaojiao's breast, and stuffed it into his mouth, biting down hard. "I'd rather be poisoned to death."
Following his biting and sucking, Sun Jiaojiao began to tremble uncontrollably, acting completely coquettish in front of him. "Your Highness, bite gentler... Don't break Jiaojiao's nipples. They still need to nurse a baby in the future..."
"Let the wet nurse feed the child."
"Uh..."
Only then did Sun Jiaojiao remember that in ancient times, women in the inner palace really didn't seem to breastfeed their own children. There were always several wet nurses following behind, attending to the child.
How could she withstand the Crown Prince's assault? In just a short while, she had melted into a puddle, panting beneath him. This Crown Prince-no matter what serious matter he was discussing with her, it always ended up with them blending together, stirring her to a fiery, uncontrollable passion.
The two were entangled as one on the bed for several hundred rounds. Only then did Sun Jiaojiao wrap her arms around the Crown Prince, taking advantage of the mid-session break after they had just finished a round, to inquire in a soft, sweet voice, "Your Highness isn't worried at all, so you must know where the Imperial Consort put the poison. You're just teasing Jiaojiao on purpose and won't tell me. It really hurts Jiaojiao's feelings."
The Crown Prince was expressionless. "What feelings of yours are hurt?"
Sun Jiaojiao: "I'm hurt that Your Highness is treating Jiaojiao like an outsider."
The Crown Prince was speechless. "What's the big deal? Is it worth hiding from you? It's just that we haven't found it yet, so I was too lazy to say anything. But the harmful thing definitely isn't in the gifts that were sent openly. It's possible she started with the people around you."
Sun Jiaojiao was so scared she shot up in bed. "Around me? Then... could she have put poison on the bed?"
The Crown Prince: "That's not impossible."
Sun Jiaojiao felt her world collapsing... She and the Crown Prince had just fought three hundred rounds on this bed. Could they be poisoned?
But then she turned her head and saw the Crown Prince's completely unbothered expression, and she felt he was lying to her again. "Is Your Highness trying to scare me? If the poison was on the bed, why aren't you panicking? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Having my beloved consort accompany me in death is enough for this life. Besides, the Imperial Consort doesn't have the ability to poison the reigning Crown Prince and Crown Princess in the palace without being discovered. At most, she'd take an opportunity when you're not paying attention to use something on you to cause infertility." The Crown Prince unhurriedly got out of bed and slowly got dressed. "Later, have people thoroughly check every corner of your room for any suspicious items, especially the places where the Imperial Consort sat or touched."
Sun Jiaojiao nodded in agreement. "Okay!"
"Also, the people around you. See if any of them have received rewards from the Imperial Consort. All rewards must be confiscated and inspected." The Crown Prince had rich experience in battling wits with this group of inner palace women. He was all too clear about their petty tricks.
"Your servant understands!"
"Anything else to ask?"
The Crown Prince looked as if he was about to leave if she had no more questions, which made Sun Jiaojiao hurriedly stop him. But Sun Jiaojiao couldn't think of anything else she needed to ask. She thought for a long time. Other than Xiao Liu, who had been missing for many days, there wasn't much else she was curious about.
But her relationship with the Crown Prince had only just eased, so she didn't quite dare to ask about Xiao Liu's whereabouts...
Sun Jiaojiao's hesitant expression fell on the Crown Prince's eyes, and he knew she had something on her mind. He lifted her chin, amused. "What are you thinking about? So engrossed?"
Sun Jiaojiao hemmed and hawed, "Your servant has a question, but I don't know if I should ask it."
The Crown Prince: "If you shouldn't ask it, then don't."
Sun Jiaojiao wanted to vomit blood. Hey, how could he respond like that? This Crown Prince, why doesn't he play by the rules?
