Prince Yan rested for a month and refused to see visitors. He didn't even enter the palace, which led many people to make all kinds of speculations.

Leng Yifei rarely came to visit the Hengwang Mansion. Sitting in the main hall of the Hengwang Mansion, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said the moment he put the cup down:

"Second brother, Leng Yicheng has been deposed for many years, but the position of crown prince has been vacant. Have you ever thought about asking father to become the crown prince?"

Obviously he came to test her, but Leng Yiheng, who always put Leng Chen first in everything, couldn't hear it at all.

He immediately waved his hand,

"Leng Yiyan is back. I'm afraid it will be difficult to seize the position of crown prince."

From his words, Leng Yifei could tell that he had some thoughts about the position of crown prince.

He narrowed his eyebrows and reminded:

"Second brother, I always feel that the position of crown prince should be yours. Back then, my father issued a decree that whoever gave birth to a son first would be the crown prince. But my mother gave birth to my eldest brother, and you were born second. According to this rule, this position should belong to you."

"From what Third Brother said, do you support me to be the Crown Prince?"

Leng Yifei quickly pretended to be righteous and waved his hand.

"Of course, we brothers have been together for so many years, and everyone knows that Leng Yiyan is the only one who doesn't get along with us brothers. If he becomes the crown prince and the emperor in the future, it is hard to guarantee that he will not eliminate us one by one. I always feel that you should find Concubine Xian and let her help you."

Leng Yiheng frowned, wondering whether what Leng Yifei told him was true or false.

"Second brother, I heard that Leng Yiyan is very different now than before. He is a little stupid, as if he doesn't recognize anyone."

"Is this happening?"

Leng Yiheng looked at him warily, "Is your information reliable?"

Leng Yifei held his forehead and chuckled.

"If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. But as your younger brother, I want to remind you that if you have any ideas about this position, you should get rid of the stumbling block as soon as possible. As long as he is gone, the position of the crown prince will belong to you."

Seeing Leng Yiheng hesitating, he struck while the iron was hot and continued to clench his fist to remind him.

"Brother, let me remind you that if you want to bring him down, you must first bring down his backers, as well as every close relative around him, including his woman, his children, and the few guards around him..."

Leng Yiheng's eyebrows flickered slightly, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Seeing that he was thinking about something, Leng Yifei looked at him, smiled and shook his head.

"Brother, I have something else to do. I'll go back first. You can decide on this matter yourself!"

After leaving these words, he nodded to him and walked away.

Leng Yiheng hesitated for a moment and decided to go into the palace to discuss the matter with his mother.

Zhuangxian Hall

Before Leng Yiheng arrived, Concubine Xian was listening to the maid Xiaohong mentioning something about Concubine Rong.

"My lady, as you ordered, I gave her all the remaining clothes you wore. She didn't want to accept them, but I told her that she would have no salary for the rest of the year and would have to starve if she didn't accept them. She was so angry that her face turned green."

"Hahaha……"

Concubine Xian raised the handkerchief in her hand, lightly covered the corners of her mouth, and smiled triumphantly.

"Well, no matter how glorious she was back then, I want to see how miserable she is now."

"The queen is right. She knows that even though the emperor gave her a permanent position, it was only because she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the emperor. The emperor will never favor her again in this life. Even if we bully her to death, she has to bear it obediently."

"This is great. When she was in her prime, she bullied me a lot. Even after I became a concubine, she would still talk to me from time to time. When I have time, I will go see her in person..."

"My lady, you are kindhearted. You don't know that those concubines who were bullied by her were asked to wash clothes by others, but she didn't dare to resist."

"Is this really true?"

It seemed that she felt relieved when she heard that Rong Chang was being bullied.

At this moment, a servant came in to report.

"My Lady, Prince Heng is here."

When she heard that her son had arrived, she straightened herself up and waved to the servants.

"Please come in, Lord Heng."

After a while, Prince Heng came up with big strides and waved to Xiao Hong.

"Let everyone go down. I have something to discuss with my mother."

Xiaohong glanced at Concubine Xian, and after getting her permission, she retreated with all the maids.

Seeing that there was no one here, he looked at Concubine Xian mysteriously.

"Mother, I heard that Leng Yiyan doesn't seem to recognize people anymore. Have you asked father for any news about him?"

Concubine Xian frowned and shook her head.

"No, his life or death has nothing to do with me, why should I ask."

"Mother is confused. His life or death has nothing to do with you, but it does have something to do with your son!"

"Heng'er, mother knows that your seventh uncle has always wanted you to be the crown prince, so you should do as your seventh uncle says!"

"We have just returned from Southern Xinjiang after our meritorious service. We have just gained a foothold and have not had time to take action. However, you, mother, must also lend a helping hand to me."

Concubine Xian frowned and looked at him in surprise.

"what do you mean?"

Leng Yiheng took two steps towards her and whispered:

"What I mean is that you have to first destroy Leng Yiyan's possible lair where he could become the crown prince, so that you can be sure that nothing goes wrong."

Concubine Xian nodded as if she understood something.

"You mean, you want me to get rid of... Queen Jiang?"

A sharp look flashed across Leng Yiheng's eyes, and then he nodded.

"Yes, get rid of her first, and then slowly disintegrate the people around him. This will be less likely to arouse the emperor's suspicion than killing him directly."

After a moment's hesitation, Concubine Xian nodded.

"I originally thought that if Leng Yiyan didn't come back, you would lose your strongest opponent for the position of crown prince. Unexpectedly, he came back. Then mother will get rid of the troublemaker earlier and lend you a helping hand."

Prince Heng nodded happily, then took two steps back and bowed.

"Mother, I will take my leave."

Leaving these words behind, he walked away quickly with big strides.

Concubine Xian's eyes flickered and she shouted,

"Xiaohong, tell the Seventh Prince that I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes."

Xiaohong responded at the door, then turned and left. There was an indescribable expression on Concubine Xian's face.

At noon, Leng Chen arrived at Zhuangxian Palace on time. Concubine Xian immediately dismissed the servants and instructed Xiaohong:

"Guard the door and don't let anyone in."

Xiao Hong understood the instructions, quickly stepped back, and closed the door.

Hearing the sound of the door being locked from the outside, Leng Chen could not wait to step forward, hug Concubine Xian around the waist, and as he walked towards the bedroom, he asked obscenely:

"I haven't been here for more than a month, and you miss me already? And you even sent someone to inform me?"

Concubine Xian raised her hand and pinched his chin.

"You only came here once after you came back from Southern Xinjiang. I started to wonder if you didn't like me anymore."

"My dear sister-in-law, how could I not like you? I'm just worried that this will be inconvenient for you and cause you trouble."

"What kind of trouble could I have? The Emperor hasn't come for half a month. I've been idle for so long that my whole body is itchy..."

Her words made Leng Chen's blood rush to somewhere. He couldn't wait to throw her on the bed and began to tear off her clothes...

After the lovemaking, Concubine Xian lay in Leng Chen's arms, playing with his Adam's apple while saying:

"Heng'er came to see me today."
