d Bao.
Lord Bao presided over justice and found out the truth.
After a long fight, the crown prince lost his position, the princess and Chen Shi Mei had to leave, and Chen Shi Mei had his head cut off with a guillotine.

At first glance, this play alluded to the affairs of Princess Chang Shan and Lu Wen Da.
If it was really performed, then it would cause the crown prince and his company much trouble.

“Good! I’ll find a theatre team to put this play on right away.
Your mother is fine.
If she has such a playbook in the future, just use it!” Jiang Zhi En couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

Li Yi Cheng nodded.
“My mother has been very interested in writing playbooks recently.
She said she will continue to write these ideas down.”

Jiang Zhi En felt that this method was very feasible.
He immediately found that there were many unconventional scholars who brainstormed and used the pen as a knife that he could use to attack and wipe out the crown prince.

At the Eastern Palace, the crown prince sat in his chair and listened to his subordinate’s report of what was happening in the capital recently.
It was there he heard there was a play called ‘Cutting the Beautiful Case’1, whose content seemed to allude to Princess Chang Shan and Lu Wen Da.

The crown prince raised his hand slightly.
“Is there a playbook? Show me.”

A subordinate immediately handed him one.

The crown prince flipped through it.
After he finished reading it, he clenched his hands in anger while his face remained expressionless.

“Go.”

The subordinate left.

The crown prince couldn’t help but smash the bowl of tea in his hand.
“Damn it!”

“Your Highness, please calm down,” Yang Duo Shou, the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace, said as he walked in after hearing the movement.
Yang Duo Shou had been serving the crown prince since the crown prince was 3 years old.
From then until now, the crown prince was not only his master, but also the child he had taken care of since childhood.

“Where is Chang Shan?” the crown prince asked.

“Princess Chang Shan should be accompanying the empress in Kun Nung Palace right now.” Yang Duo Shou poured another cup of tea.
“Your Highness, have some tea.
It is the new tribute, Yun Wu tea, Your Highness’ favourite drink.”

“I’m not in the mood to drink tea right now.” The crown prince shook his head angrily.
“I’m going to Kun Ning Palace alone.” He then started walking out.

“Your Highness, Your Highness, did you forget that you summoned Official Chu? Official Chu is waiting outside now,” Yang Duo Shou said anxiously.

“I am not free now.
He can come again in the afternoon.” The crown prince then hurried away.

Yang Duo Shou hurriedly ordered another eunuch to go out and talk to Official Chu, then hurriedly chased after the crown prince.
“Your Highness, slow down and watch your feet.”

In Kun Ning Palace, Xiao Bao Ling and the empress were looking through a book that listed the items in the treasury.
When Xiao Bao Ling saw something she liked, she pestered the empress to add it to her dowry.

The empress smiled and looked at her daughter, naturally obedient.

The crown prince stood outside the entrance to the hall.
After he listened for a while, he became angrier.
When Xiao Bao Ling pestered the empress for a bell-shaped gold pagoda with a turquoise inlay, the crown prince strode in.
“Emperor father is very fond of the bell-shaped gold pagoda with a turquoise inlay.
How good and capable are you? What do you want it for?”

The empress and Xiao Bao Ling were surprised.
Xiao Bao Ling pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
The empress smiled and patted her hand, saying, “Your emperor father ordered someone to send this booklet of the treasury.
If Ling’er likes it, then add it.”

“The treasury is the private storage of emperor father.
Arranging dowry has rules.
If Bao Ling wants anything, you can get it from empress mother’s private stash or my private stash.
You can just get a few items as normal.
Don’t cause people to gossip!” For the sake of his empress mother, the crown prince endured his anger.

The empress frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Bao Ling.
“Your older brother is also worried.
You have chosen a lot of things.
For the rest, go to mother’s private stash and choose what you want, okay?” The empress has a son.
For a woman, the son is the one she must depend on, but the daughter is the one she loves the most.
In the imperial family, the son was raised by the emperor and the daughter was raised by herself.

Xiao Bao Ling was not very happy.
How could mother empress’ private stash compare with the palace’s treasury that had items from several generations?

The empress wanted to persuade her, but the crown prince was angry.
“You leave first.
I have something to say to empress mother.”

The palace servants who were working looked at the empress when they heard his words.
When they saw the empress nod, they retreated.

The empress said gently, “What’s the matter? You don’t look so good.”

The crown prince endured his anger.
“It has been very difficult.
This matter has finally calmed down.
Now, because of this ‘Cutting the Beautiful Case’, the rumours in the capital have spread and even intensified.
Even My reputation has been compromised!” The crown prince then glared at Xiao Bao Ling angrily.

Xiao Bao Ling was aggrieved and immediately cried to the empress.
“Mother empress, older brother is blaming me.
What does this matter have to do with me? It is the ploy of second older brother’s bitch.
You have the ability to go find them.
Why are you staring at me?!”

“You! If it wasn’t for you insisting on marrying Lu Wen Da, then where did these disasters come from?!” the prince said angrily.

“At the beginning, didn’t you also agree? You liked darling Lu’s talents too! Weren’t you afraid that he would be recruited by second older brother? How is this my fault?!” Xiao Bao Ling was not afraid.
In front of her mother, her older brother did not dare to hit her!

“You!” The crown prince was furious.
He almost disregarded his identity and raised his hand to strike her.

“Both of you shut up!” the empress said coldly.
The two of them fell quiet abruptly.

1.(鍘美案) Zha Mei An.
I think that’s the translation of this phrase?
