Chapter 395: 395 being nosy Chapter 395: 395 being nosy Originally, he, the dignified Prince, had been a dominant figure in the capital city, but now he found himself in a situation where anyone could trample on him.

Even his mother, who was of considerable age, was implicated alongside him and the Crown Prince in the palace, squeezed out by the heedless young vixens.

As her son, he was helpless, knowing that some people were just waiting for him to lose patience and give them something to hold against him. Thus, no matter how tough the days were, he still had to keep a low profile.

Growing up always pampered, the Prince tasted frustration for the first time in his life.

What was he scolded for today?

Oh, it was because of the provisions.

The Ministry of Revenue couldn’t allocate the provisions, yet the blame fell on him. Sikong Mo, a Prince himself, had personally come to the capital city for the provisions, but the Ministry of Revenue failed to deliver, claiming he had previously depleted their stock during his campaign!

It was absolutely infuriating.

Everyone knew he was being targeted, but that didn’t stop them from sitting back to watch the fight, hoping to benefit from the fray!

Furthermore, today there was another scandal; his Yue Family and Liu Family broke another man’s legs over a Soap Formula, left him homeless on the streets, and claimed the formula for themselves.

The Princess Consort had also used the soap, which then became an exclusive supply to the Imperial Palace, particularly famous in the capital city after its improvement. Used during baths, it left the skin smooth and fragrant, becoming immensely popular in the capital city for a time.

Everyone assumed the Liu Family had developed this product since they had always supplied the palace with cosmetics and spices, and their shops were famous nationwide. However, it was revealed today that they had actually stolen the formula from someone else.

Not only that, but the Liu Family had also falsely accused that person of stealing their silver.

Although the truth of this matter was still unclear, the Prince had already been scolded for it. And now, his servant dared to mention the Princess Consort in front of him–it was simply asking for a scolding.

What was crucial was that both issues had been brought to light by Sikong Mo, the War King, making the Prince unable to help but wonder, where exactly had he offended this man!

The issue of the provisions could be overlooked since it involved Sikong Mo, but a Soap Formula? Sikong Mo didn’t seem like someone who normally meddled in others’ affairs, yet he had surprisingly intervened a bit too much in this matter.

As he walked, the Prince suddenly saw his cousin’s third son, along with two servants, sneakily heading into a small alley, and up ahead, he could vaguely see a captivating, enchanting figure.

The Prince felt choked by frustration; he had been scolded today because of them, and yet they still had the mood to flirt with women!

He absolutely couldn’t tolerate it.

Thinking this, the Prince stealthily followed them.

At the corner of the alley, the cousin’s third son and the two servants suddenly collapsed silently to the ground, and the woman in the green dress did the same.

Ye Jiu emerged from his hiding place, took out an antidote, and fed it to the woman in the green dress, who gradually came to.

“Young Master…” the woman in green stretched out her hand towards Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu generously pulled out a silver note and handed it over, “You may leave now.”

The woman in green laughed delightfully, rising coquettishly from the ground. As she was leaving, she flirted with Ye Jiu by waving her handkerchief, “Young Master, next time there’s such an opportunity, don’t forget to come find me at the Baihua Building; just ask for Vanilla!”

Her voice was enticing, stirring the senses.

Ye Jiu shivered involuntarily!

“Hurry up and go, don’t trouble me,” Ye Jiu waved his hand in disgust.

Another burst of coquettish laughter came as the woman in green gradually walked away.
