Upon learning that Princess Heshuo was ill, Cui Shuyan planned to go see her first as the New Year's Eve palace banquet had not yet begun.

After entering the palace, the male guests and female guests were separated, so at this time, Shi Liu was the only one by Cui Shuyan's side.

She took the pomegranate with her and went out to the palace of Princess Heshuo Chang.

However, just after rounding the first palace wall, Cui Shuyan saw a group of people walking towards her.

Leading the group was a palace concubine, who was dressed in luxurious attire and wore exquisite hair accessories. Her demeanor was so unbearable that one could not look directly at her.

Cui Shuyan was still wondering who this person was, but when she saw Su Xin following her, she knew that the person in front of her was Concubine Xian.

It’s a bit funny to say that the two of them have been fighting privately for so long but have never met each other.

Today is the first time the two meet.

At this time, it was not only Cui Shuyan who was looking at Concubine Xian.

Similarly, Concubine Xian was also looking at her.

Concubine Xian had already seen Cui Shuyan's portrait.

With Su Xin's reminder, Concubine Xian knew that the person appearing in front of her at this moment was Cui Shuyan, whom she hated so much.

Speaking of which, Cui Shuyan should have been an insignificant little character.

She must have been plotted against by Xie Shaohang and Madam Xie, and had to stay in the Xie Mansion obediently, becoming a key chess piece to balance Xie Xingyuan, a role that could not be any smaller.

Originally, all Concubine Xian knew was Cui Shuyan's name and identity.

As for Cui Shuyan's age and appearance, that was not within her consideration at all.

She didn't need to know this.

Yet, this most insignificant person, the daughter of a mere fifth-rank official, who had appeared in front of her without any identity or position, was now wearing the clothes of a princess and standing in front of her with dignity.

It doesn't stop there.

Thinking of the setback she had suffered at the hands of Cui Shuyan, Concubine Xian was so angry that her head hurt.

If it weren't for Cui Shuyan, Xie Xingyuan would have been paralyzed long ago. Her right-hand ally, An Yuanhou, was also at the peak of his career, and the money house she had instructed to open could also operate safely and steadily, providing her with a steady stream of money.

But now, Xie Xingyuan was as strong as a bull, with no signs of paralysis at all.

However, the mansion of Marquis Anyuan was ransacked because of Luo Jinyu's complaint, and Marquis Anyuan himself was killed. The money house was forced to close down.

That would have been fine, but in order to fill the deficit of the money house, the business of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion also plummeted. By the time they realized it, most of the business had been eaten up. Now it is extremely difficult to remedy the situation.

Without money, how can she win people's hearts?

And now there are so many people working for her, which one of them doesn't want money?

If there is no huge profit, who would be willing to work for her?

Thinking about the constraints she was facing in every way, Concubine Xian became more and more angry.

But she was a person who never showed her emotions. Even though she hated Cui Shuyan in her heart, she smiled and looked over: "Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be Princess Xie."

Cui Shuyan lowered her eyebrows and bowed slightly: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Concubine Xian walked closer and looked at Cui Shuyan unscrupulously.

She was wondering, how could such a delicate and weak person have such a smart brain?

Cui Shuyan dealt her heavy blows repeatedly, but her plans to deal with Cui Shuyan failed one after another.

First, she was forced to release Luo Jinyu, and then she used the plague to frame Cui Shuyan, but she managed to get away with it.

This woman is so smart that she is almost a demon.

When they were close enough, Concubine Xian no longer concealed her hatred and said in a low voice, "Cui Shuyan, it is not easy for you, the daughter of a fifth-rank official, to step in front of me and be known by me."

Cui Shuyan smiled faintly: "You are joking, Madam Imperial Concubine. Some roads in this world are often the most stable when you walk slowly."

In her previous life, until her death, she thought that it was Xie Shaohang and Lin Xinrou who killed her.

He had no idea that the mastermind behind the whole thing was Concubine Xian.

To put it bluntly, in her previous life, she didn't even know at whose hands she died.

But this life is different after all.

In her previous life, Concubine Xian used her as a pawn and arranged her fate at will.

Then in this life, she wants to overturn the whole game!

"Cui Shuyan, you don't think that by marrying Xie Xingyuan, you will have the ability to fight against me, right? What a pity, a subject is still a subject after all."

"You are joking, my lady. I have no intention of confronting anyone. However, if someone bullies me, I will never let it go."

"Really? Then I'll wait and see!"

As she spoke, Concubine Xian pretended to fall down.

Even her personal maid Su Xin had already started to exclaim: "Princess Xie, why did you bump into our queen..."

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, Concubine Xian was helped to stand still.

The one who held her steady was Cui Shuyan.

Concubine Xian tried to break free, but found that Cui Shuyan was stronger than her and she couldn't break free at all.

Cui Shuyan smiled faintly: "Did the Imperial Concubine rely on these tricks of pretending to fall to sit in her current position? If so, it really makes people look down on her."

Concubine Xian was extremely angry and stared at Cui Shuyan.

At this moment, a voice came from not far away: "Shuyan, Concubine Xian, what are you doing?"

She is the Heshuo Princess.

Cui Shuyan immediately let go of Consort Xian, turned around and walked towards Princess Heshuo: "Senior sister, I heard that you were sick, and I was just about to go see you."

Princess Heshuo smiled faintly: "It's okay, it's just a cold."

Having said that, Cui Shuyan felt that her face looked very bad.

But now is not the time to talk about this.

Because Concubine Xian had already walked up to the two of them and smiled politely: "Imperial sister, I heard that you were sick. I wonder if you are feeling better today?"

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Concubine. I am much better now."

Princess Heshuo responded indifferently and pulled Cui Shuyan to the warm pavilion nearby.

As the eldest princess, she didn't need to be nice to anyone in the palace except Emperor Zhaowu and the Empress.

Watching the two of them leaving hand in hand, Su Xin said bitterly, "This Cui Shuyan is so lucky that she actually hooked up with the Princess!"

"So what if she succeeds? Some people are born with little luck. Even if they have this incredible wealth, they still can't enjoy it."

Hearing this, Su Xin's eyes lit up: "My queen, do you have a way to deal with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Concubine Xian smiled complacently: "Just wait, the days that our Princess can stay in the capital are numbered."

By that time, without Princess Heshuo's help, it would be as easy for her to control Cui Shuyan as controlling an ant!

Just wait and see!
