The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1816 You Ning Kua Yu Hua

Prince's Mansion.

Cheng Youning stroked Dahuang's head with his left hand, held a pen in his right hand, and was writing furiously, copying "The Crown Prince's Instructions." A little monkey was massaging his legs at his feet.

Cheng Youning nudged Sihou's leg with her toes, "Sihou, climb up to the treetop and see where Qiao Rong is?"

The four monkeys have climbed the tree four times today to look out for Cheng Youning, but even when they see Qiao Rong, they don't say a word!

However, the four monkeys still went out to climb the tree! They went quickly and came back quickly too!

Cheng Youning looked at the four monkeys baring their teeth and scratching their ears at him, and began to guess, "Qiao Rong is back?"

The little monkey shook its head and put on another energetic performance. Cheng Youning guessed, "Qiao Rong hasn't come back?"

The little monkey bared its teeth, almost speaking in its eagerness. Cheng Youning asked, "You're back?"

Finally, Cheng Youning sighed and cursed, "You useless little beast! Tomorrow I'll stop giving you nuts, and you'll have to live on cabbage!"

Upon hearing this, the little monkey jumped onto the table and bared its teeth at Cheng Youning!

Cheng Youning tapped the little monkey on the head with the pen and threatened, "Believe it or not, I, Your Highness, will hit your monkey head!"

The little monkey hurriedly pulled Cheng Youning's hand, trying to lead her outside. Just then, a servant came in to report that Yuhua had arrived.

Cheng Youning then understood what Sihou had been trying to convey to him. He snorted, "I thought she wasn't coming! I've already eaten!"

Yu Hua walked briskly with long strides, and when she saw Cheng Youning, she was already panting and covered in sweat. "I went out with your mother today, and the fish was fried late! Youning, have you had lunch?"

Cheng Youning complained, "What time is it? I've already eaten!" Actually, he had just put down his chopsticks a short while ago!

"Then eat less. I brought it here as soon as it came out of the pot. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, golden and crunchy. Eat up!" As she spoke, Yu Hua had already taken the fish out of the food box and placed it in front of Cheng Youning.

Cheng Youning first gave one fish to the little monkey who was staring wide-eyed at the fish, and then another to the big yellow dog that was wagging its tail! Only then did she eat some herself!

At this moment, Yu Hua, who was sitting to the side watching, asked Cheng Youning, "Why were you confined to your quarters? How many times were you punished by having to recite the 'Crown Prince's Instructions'?"

"Ten times isn't a big deal!" Last night, Cheng Youning was worried that Zhuoyang would die, but this morning Qiao Rong went to the palace to ask around and said that he had woken up. Cheng Youning is no longer afraid!

He couldn't see Zhuoyang in person, so he kept thinking about it and sent Qiao Rong to see if she could meet Zhuoyang.

Yu Hua didn't believe Cheng Youning's words at all. "It's nothing serious that the Emperor would punish you with confinement. You haven't been confined for so long. You must have caused trouble."

Cheng Youning moved the small yellow croaker away from her mouth and looked at Yu Hua guiltily: "Yu Hua, you can tell I've gotten into trouble too?"

"Do you think I can't tell! You've gotten yourself into big trouble, haven't you?" Yu Hua personally came to deliver fried fish to Cheng Youning, just to ask what kind of trouble the child had gotten into.

"I've caused trouble, but I don't know how much it has to do with me!" Cheng Youning looked at the door and, seeing that no one was there, told Yu Hua about Princess Zhuoyang's suicide attempt last night. After he finished speaking, he observed Yu Hua's reaction.

Yu Hua's eyebrows were practically knotted together, and Cheng Youning's heart sank as well.

Ever since he was sent back last night, Cheng Youning has been feeling uneasy. In the entire Crown Prince's residence, apart from Qiao Rong who can help him analyze the situation, he can't let anyone else know about this.

Cheng Youning tentatively asked Yu Hua, "Yu Hua, do you think Zhuo Yang's suicide has anything to do with me?"

Yu Hua said solemnly, "Princess Zhuoyang's death has nothing to do with you."

"Is it really unrelated to the potted daphne I gave you?"

Yu Hua shook her head and analyzed for Cheng Youning, "It has nothing to do with you, and nothing to do with the flower. If she wants to die, who can stop her? This is a heartache. She's the only one left alive in the entire royal family. If it were me, I would also take my own life. But Youning, you must not impersonate the emperor to do anything improper in the future. At the very least, it's an offense against imperial authority; at worst, it could be a serious crime, even execution by being cut in half at the waist! Youning, you can't cause trouble for everyone."

Cheng Youning touched the stack of "Crown Prince's Instructions" that he had spent the whole morning writing, feeling extremely guilty. "I know I was wrong. Your grandfather is punishing me by confining me to my quarters and making me copy 'Crown Prince's Instructions' ten times. I can't go out for the next few days!"

Seeing Cheng Youning's guilty and aggrieved expression, Yu Hua said, "This time the punishment was fair; you didn't even get a few strokes of the cane! You'd better be more careful in the future!"

"Yuhua's words are truly wise! A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study! Although you, Yuhua, are not very educated, you understand principles and are a role model for women!"

Yu Hua chuckled, "Why are you praising me today!"

"After telling you what happened, I feel much better. Otherwise, I was so guilty that I couldn't eat!" Cheng Youning brought the small yellow croaker to her mouth, took a bite and it was crunchy, her little mouth greasy. Yu Hua saw that it didn't stop her from eating at all!

At this moment, Qiao Rong also returned. "Your Highness, I did not see Zhuoyang. That is the inner palace; I cannot enter."

“As long as we’re sure she’s alright and alive, it doesn’t matter if we can’t see her. Have you asked the old housekeeper about it?”

"I didn't see the old steward. I heard from the palace servants that he rushed to Prince Pang's residence with the Emperor!"

"Grandpa went to Prince Pang's mansion in such a hurry, what's the matter? Go to Prince Pang's mansion and ask!"

Just as Qiao Rong was about to turn around, Yu Hua called her back, "No need to go, your grandmother is sick."

"My grandma is sick, I'm going to go see her!"

Yu Hua said, "You're under house arrest, what are you looking at? The fact that I'm sitting here means your grandmother is alright. She just fainted from anxiety! Your father and mother are taking care of her!"

After Yu Hua, that big mouth, finished telling the story, Cheng Youning was dumbfounded. "Another suicide!"

When Yu Hua returned, Wan Lianxing was still there. Even more unexpectedly, Ge Dongqing was also there. She later learned that he had gone to the palace to confess, fearing Shang Xi would complain to the Emperor.

Unfortunately, they arrived too late; the Emperor had already set off for Prince Pang's residence.

So Ge Dongqing turned around and chased after them. What Yu Hua saw was that there were four people sitting in the old lady's outer room: the Emperor, Ge Dongqing, Cheng Feng, and Shang Xi.

Of the four, Shang Xi had the worst expression. If Ge Dongqing hadn't come, Shang Xi would definitely have complained, but she couldn't bring herself to do it in front of someone. Besides, Ge Dongqing kept giving Shang Xi pleading looks, making it hard for her to pretend she didn't see them!

Suddenly Wan Lianxing stood up and said to Shang Xi, "Shang Xi, accompany your uncle for a walk outside."

The sharp-eyed Wan Lianxing had already noticed Shang Xi's odd behavior and Ge Dongqing's unusual behavior!

Upon hearing this, Ge Dongqing stood up abruptly. "Your Majesty, let me accompany you for a walk outside!"
