Looking at the calm expressions of the two people, Xuan Heng still couldn't speak.

"It's okay, you guys go and do your work." He turned around and left with a dark face.

Xuan Mo and Jing Ye: "......"

-

Furong Palace.

Fu Rou, exhausted both physically and mentally, slept for a day and a night. The first thing she did when she woke up was to look for her fragile child, but there was nothing around her. She couldn't even feel the child's breath.

Furou was stunned. Where was her child? Where was the child she had given birth to with great difficulty?

"Someone, come quickly!" Furou opened the quilt and shouted. She quickly grabbed the puppet maid who came over, with a crazy look on her face, "Where are my children? Where did they go?"

The puppet maiden's arms were about to fall apart from her shaking. She said incoherently, "...was taken away by...his Majesty."

what?

Furou stopped shaking and ran towards the palace gate without even putting on her shoes.

"Your Highness?" Heng Yue, who had just returned, stopped Fu Rou. He had just returned from the empress. His two daughters are now very healthy. I heard that they were saved by Lan Ning.

Furou felt like she saw the dawn when she saw Hengyue. She cried, "The Queen Mother took our child away. We have to go to Fengyi Palace and bring the child back."

Looking at her haggard face, Heng Yue was somewhat unable to speak.

The two looked at each other, and Furou seemed to have thought of something. She asked, "What are you hesitating about?"

Heng Yue calmed himself down, held Furou's shoulders with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, it was Lan Ning who saved our child, but the condition in exchange was that the child could not be raised by us. So, His Majesty took the child away."

Upon hearing the news, Furou instantly lost all her strength. She fell to the ground, her mind full of Hengyue's words.

It was Lanning's idea that the child she gave birth to could not be raised by her.

"Why? That's my child!" Furou said blankly. She was looking forward to the birth of the child so much and the glory the child would bring her, but her child was taken away!

Seeing Furou's heartbroken look, Hengyue felt uncomfortable too.

Those were his children too. How could he bear that they didn't grow up by his side? However, with their status they couldn't fight against the empress.

Apparently Furou knew it too.

So she blamed Lan Ning for everything.

"I will kill her, I will definitely kill her!" Furou shrank in Hengyue's arms, her beautiful face had become ferocious, and her hands were tightly grasping Hengyue's sleeves.

Heng Yue held her in his arms and comforted her gently. When had his noble and beautiful Highness ever been so embarrassed? Ever since Lan Ning had survived and appeared before the world, every step they had taken had been wrong.

If there was no Lan Ning, his Highness would be above everyone else and the master of their beautiful dreams.

Without Lanning, their children would have grown up safely around them.

I must kill her, absolutely kill her.

Heng Yue kissed Fu Rou's hair gently, "Please rest assured, as long as I am here, I will not allow Lan Ning to live a happy life. Now please rest assured and take care of your health. Our war will be in the court."

He coaxed Furou and walked out of Furong Palace with a heavy body.

Under the night sky, Heng Yue's back was bleak. He looked at the full moon and said in a calm but sinister voice, "Did you hear what His Highness said?"

The two men who had been standing outside the hall and observing secretly had moved expressions on their faces. They understood Furou's sadness and hatred too well.

"Your Highness's wish is my wish." Chao Xi said with a smile.

"It was my fault that I failed to kill her the last time I saw her, but I recently discovered something very interesting, and I will meet your expectations." Cai Shang took out the things he had prepared from his sleeves.

He handed it to Heng Yue, "Inside is a black python that was raised by my poison. You just need to find an opportunity to let it bite Lan Ning, and he will die for sure."

Xuan Heng was able to resist his poison because it was a poisonous python. They were both poisonous creatures and were resistant to these things.

Lan Ning is different. He is a useless person with a broken inner elixir.

It would be easy to kill her.

At this moment in Tinglan Palace, Lan Ning was practicing calligraphy under Xuan Mo's supervision. She didn't know Heng Yue's plan, and she was secretly asking Xuan Mo whether he had found the mermaid's residence.

Seeing her trying so hard to write a good essay, Xuan Mo gave the cute little princess an accurate answer, "No."

It is extremely difficult to find a group of people in the deep sea. What's more, Xuan Mo guessed that the tide would give orders to the mermaids, making his search even more difficult.

Lanning's ears drooped.

Do you really want her to use her own body?

She thought of Lingyan's pretty face and suddenly felt that she had done nothing wrong, but she couldn't show it. She could only make a lost expression, which made Xuan Mo soften his heart.

"Your Highness has done everything he could for him. Leave the rest to us." Xuan Mo guessed that Ling Yan's experience was probably the same as Lan Ning's, so Lan Ning paid more attention to him.

Lan Ning's cat ears moved, and she looked at Xuan Mo with her beautiful gemstone eyes, "He... is quite pitiful."

He was not taken care of by the tribe, and was sent to her as a spy. Both sides disliked him. If he was sent back to the sea, the mermaids would definitely follow the tide's orders and hunt him down to the death!

Her repeated sighs did indeed make Xuan Mo feel a little soft-hearted. What a kind and soft-hearted girl.

Xuan Mo slowed down his heavy tone, "But the prince is right, no matter how much you sympathize with Ling Yan, you should not get too close to him."

Until the control over Ling Yan is released, they must avoid Lan Ning from getting along with him.

But what they didn't know was that every day Lan Ning would secretly climb onto the roof and bring food to the imprisoned Xiaoyu. Even though there was a door and those seals between them, his favorability increased steadily.

A few more days passed.

When Lan Ning followed Xuan Heng to court, she found that Fu Rou also appeared in the court.

I heard that Furou went to Fengyi Palace last night and had a long talk with the empress all night long. She finally regained the qualification to attend court.

However, this time, Furou looked at Lan Ning with a little more sharpness and unwillingness.

I guess you know that it was her idea!

Lan Ning smiled at her indifferently, which made Furou's face twisted. If it wasn't in the court, that woman would definitely come up and argue with her.

"You have to work hard to learn." Xuan Heng seemed to have guessed something. He gently patted Lan Ning's shoulder and said earnestly, "Who will be the princess depends on who is more useful to Wan Jing."

There is no emperor throughout history who is not ruthless, the only thing he cares about is whether he can make the Wanjing Kingdom prosperous.

Furou has grown a lot after this experience. At least now she knows that simply giving birth to a child is not enough to make her an imperial princess.

"I know." Lan Ning was waiting for this moment.

Learning about court affairs is cumbersome, but fortunately Lan Ning has an intelligent system. Anything she can't remember can be temporarily stored in the system log. After a period of time, the court officials who led Lan Ning discovered that this princess was not an embroidered pillow.

She memorizes things very quickly.
