King Cheng looked at Mr. Mei's back as he walked away, thinking of his cousin, and became more and more irritated. His cousin Yao Qi was an orphan adopted by his uncle. Because Mr. Mei had always been with his uncle and watched his cousin grow up, Mr. Mei and Doctor Mo loved this cousin very much.

However, King Cheng disliked his cousin, who was spoiled and willful. Just like this time, King Cheng had arranged for a well-trained killer to be sent to the palace as the Saint of Southern Xinjiang so that she could cooperate with him.

As a result, the cousin insisted on coming to the capital to replace the killer, claiming that she wanted to avenge her adoptive father. However, the cousin had not received any special training, and King Cheng did not allow her to enter the capital to avoid disrupting his actions.

As a result, this willful cousin actually sent someone to imprison the chosen killer, and followed Master Wu to Beijing. This was simply too audacious, and King Cheng threw away a book in his hand in annoyance.

Turning his head, he thought of the news he had just received. Concubine Xi and her son in the palace dared to disobey his arrangements and make plans for themselves. This also made King Cheng very angry.

This mother and son pair didn't have much ability, but they had big ambitions. The emperor wanted to use them to make things more convenient in the palace, but they were too greedy and always had their own little plans.

King Cheng snorted coldly, "This guy who is not even worthy of being on the stage still dreams of that high position. It's just wishful thinking."

The reason why he wanted to use Qin Qingyan to make this move instead of Qin Xinhe was that he didn't know Xinhe's background clearly enough. This girl was a little weird, and he didn't dare to touch her easily. Su Peiyun and Shen Tuo had suffered great losses at her hands before. Before figuring out Qin Xinhe's background, King Cheng still didn't want to act rashly.

However, now that Master Wu was about to enter the capital, whether Qin Xinhe was a demon or a monster, naturally he would not escape Master Wu's discerning eyes. As for the plan of Concubine Xi and her son to attack Qin Xinhe, King Cheng was not in a hurry to stop it.

King Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the flickering candlelight. "Second Miss Qin, do you have special powers or do you have an expert guiding you? This time, let me see what you are capable of."

In the Qin Mansion, ever since Qin Qingyan made a mistake last time and was reprimanded by the Queen and punished by Qin Mingxuan with house arrest, Qin Qingyan has become much more honest and low-key.

After being released from house arrest, he personally went to Xinhe's courtyard to apologize to Xinhe, saying that he shouldn't have said a lot of inappropriate things outside just for the sake of momentary pleasure, which affected his sister's reputation and made his parents angry.

Qingyan's apology looked very sincere, and she couldn't help crying again. Xinhe accepted Qingyan's apology, but it didn't make her and Qingyan any closer.

Xinhe really didn't want to have too much close contact with Qingyan. Even though she knew that the past life was the past life and she shouldn't connect the past life with the present, every time she saw this sister, no matter how gently and warmly she smiled at her, Xinhe couldn't help but think of Qingyan's ferocious expression in her past life when she stood in front of her coffin with talismans and long nails in her hands.

Therefore, now she can only keep her distance from this sister. Although her mother always scolds her for not being close to her sister, Xinhe feels that it is enough for her to get along peacefully with her sister, and there is no need to worry about the deep sisterhood.

Qingyan saw that although Xinhe accepted her apology, her attitude was still lukewarm and indifferent, and the anger in her heart rose again.

She just couldn't stand her sister being like this. Now that she had come to her humbly to apologize, she still looked indifferent. Looking at Xinhe's indifferent eyes and remembering Xinhe's smiling face when facing the princes and Yu Shen in the palace, Qingyan felt that she and her sister must have been mortal enemies in her previous life, otherwise why would her sister always treat her like this.

Qingyan secretly hated in her heart: "Qin Xinhe, just wait, when I become the Crown Princess, you will have to kneel down in front of me properly."

Thinking of the scene where Xinhe knelt in front of her, Qingyan felt much better. Seeing that Xinhe really didn't want to talk to her more, she forced a smile, said goodbye to Xinhe and left Xinhe's yard.

As soon as she walked out of Xinhe's yard, Qingyan's smile suddenly faded, and she walked forward in silence. Aunt Lin, who was following beside her, looked at Qingyan's face and comforted her in a low voice: "The eldest lady doesn't have to be angry with the second lady. Let's go and pay our respects to the Madam. With the Madam's love, the Madam will naturally meet all your requests. The Madam is your biggest supporter in this mansion. We don't care whether the second lady likes you or not."

After hearing what Lin Ma said, Qingyan finally smiled: "Yes, let's go and pay our respects to mother. I also want to tell her about the injustice I've suffered."

Thinking of making a complaint, Qin Qingyan quickened her pace and went to Ji Wanran's room. As soon as she entered the room, she threw herself into Ji Wanran's arms and told her aggrievedly that she had just gone to apologize to her sister, but her sister was not close to her.

When Ji Wanran heard that her eldest daughter went to apologize to her youngest daughter in person, she could not help but cough in anger. Qingyan hurried forward and gently patted Ji Wanran on the back: "Mother, don't be angry. Yan'er knows that my sister must still be angry with Yan'er, but Yan'er has been punished by my father and Yan'er also knows that she is wrong, but my sister..."

As she spoke, Qingyan burst into tears again. Ji Wanran wiped her daughter's tears with pity: "She was spoiled by your father. She relied on the love of the Queen in the palace. Now she not only ignores you, but even doesn't care about me as a mother. Ahem!"

Liu Niang, who was standing nearby, glanced at Qingyan. Ever since this eldest lady returned to the mansion, she always complained to the lady about the grievances she had suffered, as if the second young lady was always bullying her.

But the second young lady grew up under Liu Niang's care, and Liu Niang knew very well what kind of person Xin He was. It was true that the two sisters were not close, but the second young lady would never bully the eldest young lady.

But the lady seemed to be possessed by a demon, and she only cared about the eldest daughter, and she didn't even care about the young master. The lady believed everything the eldest daughter said, and she would come to complain about her grievances at any time, but the lady would turn around and scold the second daughter without asking any questions.

Liu Niang couldn't stand it anymore, so she interrupted Qingyan's words, brought Ji Wanran a glass of water and said with a smile: "Madam, the eldest and second young ladies are still a little unfamiliar. It's inevitable for young girls to quarrel with each other. The two sisters will laugh and it will pass. This is not a big deal. Madam, don't be angry about this. It's more important to take care of your health."

After all, Liu Niang was an elder by Ji Wanran's side, so Ji Wanran could still listen to her words. Seeing that Liu Niang's few words had made Ji Wanran stop her temper, Lin Ma snorted in her heart, but smiled and said, "What Liu Ma said is very true. This is how I comforted the eldest lady. After all, the two sisters did not grow up together. If they spend more time together, their relationship will improve slowly."

When Ji Wanran heard Mother Lin talk about the two children not growing up together, she thought of the suffering her eldest daughter had endured since childhood, and the pity in her eyes became even stronger.
