Zhuangxian Hall

While massaging the emperor's shoulders, Concubine Xian gently asked:

"Your Majesty, you have been frowning since you came back from Prince Yan's Mansion. Is there something wrong?"

"Ugh!"

The emperor sighed deeply.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with this Princess Yan. She said that she was treated harshly in the Luo family since she was a child, but it is impossible for her to develop such strange skills by her own efforts, right? On the other hand, if she has such skills, she can make a living anywhere. Why should she stay with a useless person like Yan'er? I think she must have another purpose for staying with Yan'er, but I can't guess what the purpose is. I feel very uneasy!"

"I think your worry is not unreasonable. There are indeed many suspicious aspects of this Princess Yan. When she entered the palace that day, I found that she was different. She didn't look like a girl in the boudoir. She looked more like... more like a chivalrous woman wandering the rivers and lakes. Isn't my idea ridiculous?"

These light words coming out of Concubine Xian's mouth made the emperor's face turn pale instantly.

He stood up from the couch, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the room.

A sharp look flashed across Concubine Xian's eyes, and she stepped forward and said softly,

"Your Majesty, Princess Yan is going to take over the family. I think she must have other purposes. Although she has not done anything to hurt Yan'er on the surface, we don't know what she has done behind the scenes. You should make plans early."

"Have you planned ahead?"

The emperor looked at Concubine Rong suspiciously.

"What do you think, my dear princess?"

"Your Majesty, I think you should find someone to live in Prince Yan's Mansion and keep an eye on Princess Yan..."

The emperor frowned and looked at her cautiously.

"I have already sent 300 guards, who else should I send? Should I send Guo Wei?"

"Guo Wei is your personal guard, he cannot move."

"Who else could it be? Before I'm sure she's sincere to Yan'er, I can't let her see that I'm suspicious of her."

Concubine Xian rested her hand on her chin as she pondered, her charming eyes moving back and forth.

Suddenly, she spoke as if she suddenly realized something.

"Your Majesty, I have thought of someone who is most suitable, but I don't know if he is willing."

"My beloved, please tell me what I am talking about."

"Mo Xiaowan, the niece of Concubine Rong, had a crush on Yan'er. If Yan'er hadn't gotten into trouble, Concubine Rong would have asked the emperor to grant them a marriage by now."

When Mo Xiaowan was mentioned, the emperor's brows instantly tightened.

She is the niece of Concubine Rong. Since she was sixteen years old, she has often been in and out of Concubine Rong's Yong'an Palace. Although she is beautiful, she has a rather barbaric personality. After Yan'er's accident, she rarely came to Yong'an Palace.

So he immediately shook his head.

"No, Mo Xiaowan has a hot temper. If she really goes to Prince Yan's mansion, she will definitely turn the place upside down. Besides, Yan'er has become like that. Even if she wants to go, Concubine Xian will not allow her to go."

"Your Majesty, if you suspect Princess Yan's true intentions, you should send someone with a strong temper to test her. If she has other intentions, she will not leave no matter how happy Mo Xiaowan is. Besides, for the safety of Yan'er, I think Concubine Rong will not disagree. By the way, if you think it is not right for Mo Xiaowan to go alone, then let Princess Rujing go with her, in the name of taking care of Yan'er. This way, you can avoid other people's gossip and it will be justified."

Although Concubine Xian's idea was a bit rash, the Emperor thought about it again and again and decided to give it a try.

When he told Concubine Rong about this idea, she immediately opposed it.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Concubine Xian is so vicious. If Xiaowan, an unmarried girl, goes to Prince Yan's mansion, what will happen? How will she get married in the future? I don't agree with this."

"My beloved concubine, please do not misunderstand the good intentions of Concubine Xian. She is also doing this for Yan'er's own good. I can understand your thoughts, but I am worried about Yan'er. Besides, the Prince Yan's Mansion is not a sea of ​​fire and swords. Xiaowan and Rujing can go over and look after Princess Yan. It won't take too long, just three months will be enough."

"Your Majesty, if you suspect Princess Yan, you can just ask someone else to look after her. There's no need to send Xiaowan and Rujing!"

"I can't think of anyone else. Besides, I don't trust anyone else. My beloved, please think about this carefully!"

After leaving these words, the emperor didn't want to explain any more. He just swung his sleeves and left angrily.

Concubine Rong was already so angry that she gnashed her teeth. This Concubine Xian had always been her enemy, and now she was actually plotting against her niece and daughter.

When she has time, she will definitely settle this account with her.

At this moment, Yuhong stepped forward carefully to report,

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here."

Rong Guifei, who was angry, took a deep breath and waved her hand.

"Please come in, Prince."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, Yuhong quickly walked out of the hall.

After a while, Leng Yicheng strode in. He saw that Concubine Rong looked unhappy, and asked with concern,

"Mother, who offended you?"

Concubine Rong was just full of anger and had nowhere to vent. When she saw the prince coming, she slammed the table and yelled,

"You came at the right time. Tell me, isn't this Consort Xian too despicable? She actually wanted Xiaowan and Rujing to go to Prince Yan's Mansion to look after Princess Yan, that den of dead people. Why didn't she go? Why didn't she let Leng Rumin go? She really has bad intentions!"

Leng Yicheng looked at her with a confused look.

"Mother, what did you say? Let Xiaowan and Rujing go to Prince Yan's mansion?"

"Yes, your father was suspicious of Luo Nianxi and was afraid that she would hurt his disabled son, so he asked Xiaowan and Rujing to keep an eye on her. You said there are countless guards in the palace, why did he let these two girls go? I think it was Concubine Xian who was causing trouble. She is so despicable."

After her explanation, Leng Yicheng understood.

Not only did he not scold Concubine Xian like Concubine Rong, but he looked at Concubine Rong with excitement.

"Mother, although Concubine Xian has bad intentions, this is a good thing for us."

Concubine Rong looked at him in surprise.

"Cheng'er, what are you talking about? They are your biological sister and cousin, how can you say such things?"

Seeing Concubine Rong's grim expression, Leng Yicheng quickly raised his hands and pressed them down.

"Mother, please calm down. Please listen to me slowly. Leng Yiyan is not seeing anyone right now, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead. If Xiaowan and Rujing can keep an eye on him, that would be perfect!"

Concubine Rong blinked a few times and looked at Leng Yicheng as if she had suddenly realized something.

"You mean, we can just take advantage of the situation, accept this matter, and then take the opportunity to get rid of Leng Yiyan."

"If we can make Leng Yiyan disappear from this world without anyone noticing, and then put the blame on Luo Nianxi, wouldn't we be killing two birds with one stone?"

When he said this, an evil look flashed in Leng Yicheng's eyes, and Concubine Rong nodded in agreement.

"Okay, in that case, then mother will go and discuss this matter with Xiaowan and Rujing."

"Mother, you must not let Xiaowan know about this. That girl is stupid and will easily mess things up. It's safer to leave it to Rujing."

"Mother knows that Xiaowan is a straightforward child. When the Queen was looking for a relative for Leng Yiyan, she wanted me to ask the Emperor to grant her a marriage. If I hadn't stopped her, she would be the princess of the living dead now."
