My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!

"Your Highness may rest peacefully. This subordinate secretly led people to thoroughly search every single corner of the palace right and left, top and bottom. There won't be any more hidden zombies."

"Hn." The crown prince calmly made a noise in response and flicked one of his sleeves. Immediately, a line of fire shot inside the bronze cauldron, promptly suppressing the thing that was trying its best to break free from inside.

Clanging noises continued emitting from the cauldron, but the crown prince did not grace it with a single look.

In truth, when the crown prince ordered Yu Xiu to inspect the city, he had also ordered Hidden Flower to search for possible dangers in every corner of the palace. For Empress Zhao's sake, the crown prince would not seriously stand by and do nothing.

"Has Hidden Current returned yet?" The crown prince put down his book and looked up at the captain of the Hidden Pavilion, Hidden Flower. He was the youth with a lotus flower embroidered on his chest.

"He's waiting outside." The corner of Hidden Flower's mouth silently twitched. "Cough, how about he washes up before coming in to see Your Highness?"

"No need. Let him enter," the crown prince indifferently spoke, and the door to the secret room opened in correspondence.

What entered was a 'zombie' whose long, dried-up hair was sagging down in separate locks when he suddenly started jumping inside. As he jumped, the rotting flesh hanging from his body dropped onto the floor with a splatter, eliciting an extremely distasteful gaze from Huifeng.

"My lord!" The "zombie" youth reached out to sweep the dry hair draped over his face to the side and smiled wretchedly at the crown prince, revealing a mouthful of ghastly teeth.

Even someone as calm and collected as the crown prince could not resist looking away. "Such an ugly look."

"My lord, I have been escaping for an entire day! Those royal guards have been hunting me down to kill me! It's been tragic for me! In truth, my original make-up was quite decent, but after trudging through water and treading on fire, even the most perfect makeup would turn appalling!" the 'zombie' youth defended himself but shrank back in fright after a glare from Hidden Flower.

"Get cleaned up before returning," Hidden Flower reprimanded his underling from the Hidden Pavilion, and Hidden Current pouted before fleeing with his tail between his legs.

The crown prince extended a clean and slender hand, and Huifeng instantly handed him a cup of tea.

"Then let Noble Consort Zheng rest in bed longer. It can allow Royal Mother some peace and quiet too." A sentence from this lord determined the tragic fate of Noble Consort Zheng's upcoming month.

Noble Consort Zheng had truly caused too much racket recently. If not for that, he would not have bothered to torment her.

She was merely an insignificant favored consort. Yet, she did not act like a favored consort. As if it was not enough that she strutted around like a peacock in the harem, she even tried to cause trouble for him, simply disturbing him for no good reason.

The crown prince was well aware of his royal father's character. Not only was he easily influenced but he typically did not have many opinions as well. His fondness for beauties could be ignored, but not his constant muddle-headedness and ignorance.

The crown prince wanted to say that he was also very exasperated to have been given a father like this.

Hence, in order to make his father attach importance to the zombies, the crown prince wrote, directed, and cast the actors himself for the giant show in the royal gardens…

It could be imagined how entertaining the act was when the zombie acted by Hidden Current abruptly leaped out of the garden's pond and pounced on Noble Consort Zheng, choking her to death!

A certain son who had exhausted himself for his father sighed and put down the cup in his hand.

Suddenly, his glabella shifted, and the crown prince took out a messenger jade talisman from his lapels. He gently slid his fingers over the surface and rows of small characters clearly and swiftly surfaced.

Hidden Flower and Huifeng calmly walked to the crown prince's side and turned their gazes onto the jade talisman.
