It was all for the sake of themselves and others. Hu Luanfei and Concubine Jin argued for a long time, and when they were sure that they could not communicate, they sent the guest away from the Yanx Palace.

Hu Luanfei was too lazy to talk anymore. On the way back, he complained that he shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to come to the Yanx Palace and cause trouble.

When the palace maids passing by saw her, they didn't want to cause trouble, so they hung their heads and ran away dejectedly, whispering to each other as they ran along the road.

The harem became lively again.

The excitement started from the moment Hu Luanfei walked out of the Yanx Palace with a stern face. Because of the intervention of Concubine De, the excitement was far greater than when Concubine Jin was first demoted.

Nanny Sang had just walked out of the Prince's East Palace and met her at Yongxin Gate. On the way to Ninghui Hall, Nanny Sang talked about the news that Xuanyuan Li punished the third prince because Nalan Qi came to the palace to plead for mercy.

"Your Majesty intends to protect Concubine Jin and the Third Prince. General Nalan is already over fifty years old, how could he not understand your Majesty's good intentions? However, for Xuanyuan Yuchuan, I will have to have a good relationship with General Nalan in the future."

"General Nalan is an upright person. He doesn't even look at people like us who are fighting for the throne."

"Doesn't he want to put his nephew on the throne?"

Nanny Sang said, "Things went against our wishes. General Nalan knows the Third Prince's character very well."

"Mammy, sometimes you can't judge people by appearances. The Third Prince may seem like a hopeless person, but he is actually very ruthless, no worse than Xuanyuan Yuchuan. If it weren't for our better luck, I think Xuanyuan Yuchuan would not have survived the poisoning."

Hu Luanfei walked along the path, admiring the scenery along the way. A path full of flowers, completely separated from the hustle and bustle of the harem, was like a paradise!

The third prince and the young eunuch were a perfect match, sharing this desolate scene equally.

"It's rare to see such a beautiful scenery in Ninghui Hall." Nanny Sang said suddenly.

Hu Luanfei smiled and said, "Maybe your mood has changed. Look, the two people in front don't think the scenery is beautiful."

How could the Third Prince not see the resentment that was welling up in Nanny Sang’s heart towards him…

When the two men came, Hu Luanfei saw that his dark eyes just shrank back suspiciously under his eyebrows. When Hu Luanfei introduced his surname, he was even more determined not to interact with others, and hid his fingers even more tightly in his sleeves.

Nanny Sang brought a chair over from the side, and Hu Luanfei sat down. She raised her face, and the gentle sunshine poured down on her. In an instant, he felt that she was gentle and kind.

"The third prince Xuanyuan Yuze?" Hu Luanfei asked.

The third prince nodded, which was considered his answer.

Hu Luanfei ignored his arrogance and prejudice and continued, "I am the other head of the Minsheng Escort Agency."

The third prince remained calm and silent, but he guessed the purpose of her visit.

"Recently, one of our escort missions went wrong and the client detained us. I got the client's information and investigated, and found out that the Third Prince was the mastermind behind it. I went to the palace today and I took the time to visit you to express my feelings."

The third prince frowned slightly, but remained silent.

Hu Luanfei didn't mind and went straight to the point: "Please release my people and compensate us for our losses. This shouldn't be inconvenient for you, right..."

"I don't know what you are talking about." He interrupted Hu Luanfei and suddenly said angrily: "I will never allow anyone to make me unhappy. Get out!"

This "Get out!" was said with gritted teeth and an attitude of "Fuck you!"

Everyone said that the Third Prince had the character of a scholar, with a scholarly air. But in Hu Luanfei's eyes today, he was no different from a vulgar street person.

Maybe she did too many bad things, which led to the Third Prince's hostility towards her, but it doesn't matter, she just likes to make people angry.

"If the Third Prince could have the same momentum as today on the battlefield, your uncle wouldn't be so angry."

"Don't come here to mock me. Everyone knows that you used despicable means to seduce my father and the crown prince, and used their favor to hand over all the important industries to you. You are capable, Princess Zhan." He laughed contemptuously, "No matter how bad I am, at least I still have half a bit of dignity left."

"Dignity?" Hu Luanfei laughed contemptuously, "You have no power and influence, and you can only be imprisoned like a stray dog. What do I need such dignity for?"

"Stop humiliating people."

"I'm not here to humiliate you, I just want to tell you that if you don't have the ability or strength, don't fight against the strong with the weak. You have to think about your mother, uncle, and the future."

The Third Prince suddenly shouted, "It's not that simple!"

"Why do you think it's so difficult? If I were you, I wouldn't fight with Xuanyuan Yuchuan for management rights, nor would I covet a position that doesn't belong to me. I would quietly accompany my mother, become an idle prince, marry a virtuous wife and live a stable life in the future. Isn't this a very good ending? Why would I turn against my brother and fight to the death?"

"Are you in the same situation as me?" The third prince's eyes turned red with anger. He led her into the courtyard unwillingly and shouted, "I have been taught since I was a child that I must not lose to the previous two princes in the future. I must be better than them and more talented than them. Look at the words on these walls. They were written by my mother herself. She wants me to be a superior person in the future. Do I dare to relax? Do I dare to give up everything and live freely like you said? I can't do it!"

Then he added: "It's not that I can't do it."

The handwriting on the wall was vigorous and powerful, not like it was written by a woman. The Third Prince saw the suspicion on her face, and murmured in his throat with hatred and resentment, "I was born a noble prince, and I have two great generals to support me. Because of this, my mother is more strict with me. Princess Zhan, I am not you, and I can't be as cool as you."

"I can't sympathize with you. The wind and rain that you endured were caused by your mother and the two generals. It has nothing to do with us."

The third prince smiled bitterly: "That's right. Now I can live here. It's a rare quiet time all year round. Father really loves me."

One only needs to look at the few drooping and leaning bamboos at the end of the courtyard, a row of thin branches that seem to be stretching out their hands to beg for the rain. Perhaps what these bamboos want to express is what the third prince wants to express.

He longed for love, but everyone around him treated him as a tool to gain power. Perhaps he was tired and could no longer fight, so he stayed in Ninghui Hall for a short time.

Bah! Hu Luanfei immediately rejected this idea.

It is impossible for the Third Prince to remain depressed like this for the rest of his life. Nian Shu and Qian Yu are still waiting for her to rescue them. She cannot be deceived by the Third Prince's superficial appearance.

"After saying so much, it's time to get back to business." Hu Luanfei said, and asked him to give the order to release the people.

The Third Prince pretended to be elegant and opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swish". "Hasn't anyone taught Princess Zhan that asking for help should be done with the right attitude?"

"I'm just negotiating with you, not begging you."
