ut unexpectedly, she found herself flirting with him. The hurried sound of his breathing reached her ears, as if he was sucking up all the air around them. She blushed instantly, her face as beautiful..."Fang Minrou, this palace warned you, do not harm Ge'er again, or else, this palace will definitely dismember you ten thousand times!" Qian Sichin fiercely gripped her neck, if not for the remaining sliver of reason, he would have even wanted to twist her neck.
Fang Minrou was almost strangled, she looked in horror at the face before her, which was filled with rage to the extreme. She knew that he could strangle her at any moment, and at this moment, she was terrified: "Your Highness, I... I know I was wrong..."
Qian Sichen let out a cold snort, and with a flick of her hand, Fang Minrou collapsed softly to the ground. Freed from her bonds, she clutched her aching neck and gasped for fresh air.
"Fang Minrou, if you dare to harm Ge'er again with your wicked schemes, this palace will make sure you live a life worse than death!" Qian Sichin threw down these words and turned to leave in large strides.
Staring at Qian Si's furious departing figure, Fang Minrou clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth. She wasn't willing to accept it, nor was she convinced. Why did all the men treat Xiao Yuge so well Besides having a fox-like face, what else was good about Xiao Yuge The more they protected Xiao Yuge, the more she wanted to drag Xiao Yuge down to hell!
Thinking of this, she smirked and said viciously, "Xiao Yuge, you made me the laughingstock of the entire city. I'm suffering, so I won't let you have a good time either! They're all protecting you, aren't they Then I'll make them watch helplessly as you die right in front of them!" As she spoke, she pulled out a small vial from her body and held it tightly, the triumph in her smile becoming even more obvious!
Caressing her already bulging belly, there was an indescribable mixture of hatred and resentment in her eyes. She didn't love this child, not one bit, and she certainly didn't want him to enter this world. However, the imperial physician had told her that over the years, while serving the aging emperor, she had taken "Xi Jin Wan" pills to maintain her youthful beauty. Although they preserved her appearance, they also damaged her foundation, making it difficult to conceive. This time, she had only managed to get pregnant because she had previously taken "Jie Zi Dan" pills. If she were to forcefully abort the child, there was a high risk of both her and the fetus dying. Therefore, she was left with no choice but to keep him.
"Child, don't blame your mother. If you must blame someone, blame yourself for being born into my womb." She had to use this child to achieve what she desired.
She had lost her parents, relatives, and even friends. She could not afford to lose any more loved ones! She had originally thought that by using the Empress Dowager's affection for her, she could successfully marry the Prince, but unexpectedly, the Prince remained unmoved. The Empress Dowager's side was also useless. It seemed that relying on anyone else was no match for relying on herself!
"Instead of moping here, why not cheer up and do something useful Don't you want to make a comeback" A sneer came from beside him at that moment.
"It's you!" Fang Minrou stood up abruptly, her eyes narrowing: "Aren't you supposed to be practicing dancing with her I thought you really accepted your fate and were going to act out another melodrama of sisterly affection."
It turned out that the person who suddenly appeared was Xiao Yufu!
"Lady Fang, we all have a common goal. This verbal sparring is pointless." Xiao Yufu glanced at her noticeably pregnant belly: "Don't you intend to live like this"
“Then what's your plan” Fang Minrou knew that if anyone in the capital hated Xiao Yuge more than her, it would be Xiao Yu’er. Therefore, for her right now, collaborating with Xiao Yu’er was naturally the wisest choice.
"There are too many people here, and it's noisy. How about we find a quiet place to chat" Xiao Yufu raised her eyebrow and curled the corner of her lips into a barely perceptible smile.
"Come on, I know the quietest place in the palace." Fang Minrou had practically grown up in this palace, so she was naturally intimately familiar with every corner of the inner court.
After they left, Qian Tingxuan and Ming Yang emerged from the shadows.
"Master, should I..." He knew that the two women together would surely cause trouble. It was obvious they were plotting against the young princess. But he didn't understand why his master wouldn't stop them.
“No need, just let them follow. The rest is up to the little princess herself!” Qian Tingxuan glanced at the direction where the two had left. With his temperament, would he allow someone to hurt Xia Ge'er time and time again It’s just that he deeply understood Xia Ge'er's temper. If he intervened on her behalf, she would definitely be unhappy.
"Yes!"
"Is the story of Lan Zhao's affair with Feng Wuji true" Qian Tingxuan knew his older brother summoned him to the palace today for this very reason.
"Our people wouldn't lie, but..." Mingyang hesitated, wondering whether to speak.
"What's wrong" Qian Tingxuan frowned.
The Emperor has already sent people to Jiangzhou to look for the daughter of the Regent of Tianzhu. It's estimated that things won't stay hidden for long. It seems like they all know something.
"Are all the paintings destroyed" Qian Tingxuan asked again in a low voice.
"It's all gone, even the one from Ruoshui City before."
"That's good!" Qian Tingxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Continue to keep an eye on him. Also, send someone to secretly stop Feng Wuji from coming, try his best to make him miss the emperor's birthday, remember, do not expose your identity!"
"Yes!"
"Let's go." Qian Tingxuan had taken only two steps when he suddenly remembered something. "You needn't follow me. Go to West Street and buy some rainbow pastries for the little princess. Bring them back for lunch, I want to send them to her." He knew that shop always had a long queue, so it was best to go early.
"Yes!" Mingyang accepted the order. He was also going to buy a roast duck. Qing Luo had mentioned it to him yesterday, saying they hadn't had one in ages.
At the marketplace.
"Miss, it's been ages since we last went shopping like this. I heard that there are many new snacks on Xijie Street. How about we go take a look" Qing Luo was as excited as a child. Ever since Lu Xiangwan came, Miss rarely took her out. Today, luckily Lu Xiangwan had something to do and went out, so Miss finally brought her out. She was overjoyed.
"I knew you were craving the roast duck there, little greedy cat!" Xiao Yuge smiled and looked at her: "Come on, today I'll take you to eat your fill."
"Thank you, Miss!" Qing Luo looked as if he was about to drool, which caused Xiao Yu Ge to giggle.
"By the way, Qingluo, tell me the truth, what's going on between you and Mingyang" It was rare for Xiao Yuge to be alone with Qingluo. She wanted to take this opportunity to understand their relationship. If possible, she would discuss their marriage with Qian Tingxuan, settle it as soon as possible, at least in this lifetime, she wanted Qingluo to be happy.
"Miss, what did you say What's the matter It's just...like that with him." Qingluo's face flushed, and she shyly lowered her head.
“Qingluo, we practically grew up together, like sisters. I’m getting married soon, and I also hope you'll be happy. Tell me, do you like Mingyang” Xiao Yuge knew she was shy, so this topic needed to be addressed directly. Otherwise, dragging it out wouldn’t be a solution.em, you will also suffer from the poison. And you never took that poison pill. Once you leave the Frost Snow Tower, for their own safety, they will definitely hunt you down!"“I’m really doomed!” His w...
