Han Zhiyu looked up and saw Qiaoling sitting at the door. He was immediately angry and said, "You bitch, you can't even walk properly, what are you yelling about?

However, Qiaoling seemed not to have heard her words. She sat there trembling with her hands on her head.

Han Zhiyu realized something was wrong, stood up and walked over to take a look, cursing, "Your leg is broken..."

When I saw the person lying in a pool of blood at the door, the words on the tip of my tongue could no longer be uttered.

"Lan'e..."

The person lying on the ground was her maid Lan'e, with a dagger stuck in her heart and blood all over the ground. She was probably dead.

Han Zhiyu's legs went limp and he quickly grabbed the door frame to steady himself.

She had just asked Lan'e to go out to gather information, and she had been gone for less than a quarter of an hour, so how come she was killed?

At this time, there was a letter next to her body. She pushed Qiaoling and said, "Go and get the letter."

"Yes..." Qiaoling had recovered a little and got up to pick up the letter.

Han Zhiyu took the letter, opened the seal and took out the letter inside.

It said: Han Zhiyu, this maid's life is just interest. If she behaves like a demon again, it will be your head next time!

Han Zhiyu couldn't stop shaking, "It must have been Chu Feiyan who did it."

"Princess, let's go and tell the prince! Let the prince arrest Chu Feiyan." Qiaoling said.

"Idiot." Han Zhiyu glared at her. "If the government officials are alerted, the rumor will be discovered. Do you want to die?"

"Yes..." Qiaoling shuddered again.

If the rumors were traced back to them, Han Zhiyu, with her viciousness, would push her out to take the blame, and her fate would be the same as Lan'e's.

Seeing her standing still, Han Zhiyu twisted her body hard with his hands, "Why are you still standing there? Go call Lu Qing and Li Fu and get rid of this unlucky thing!"

Since her last conversation with Minister Han, she asked two secret guards, Lu Qing and Li Fu, to follow her secretly and pass on messages to the father and daughter.

"Yes..." Qiaoling walked around the corpse and ran out.

Princess Mingde Mansion.

"boom--"

Long Shiyu smashed another expensive tea set, but still couldn't vent his anger. "Chu Feiyan is a bitch! Why does she do that?"

He broke two of her fingers and extorted 100,000 taels of silver from her, making her a laughing stock in the court. She hated him very much.

What’s even more infuriating is that several officials who originally supported her switched to the prince’s camp when they saw that she couldn’t beat Chu Feiyan. Now they even want to compete with her for the man she likes!

"Chu Feiyan, if you don't let me have an easy life, this princess will never let you go!"

"Princess, please be patient!" A young and handsome man lifted the veil and walked in slowly.

Seeing that it was him, Long Shiyu's expression relaxed, "Why are you here again?"

"Of course I miss you, Your Highness!" The man hugged Long Shiyu and sniffed her hair. "It smells so good. I don't want to leave Your Highness for even a moment!"

Long Shiyu pushed him away and sat on a chaise longue. "This princess is not in the mood right now."

"I am here to relieve your highness's worries." The man sat next to her, "Isn't it just Chu Feiyan? Since the princess is unhappy with her, just get rid of her."

"That's easy for you to say." Long Shiyu rolled his eyes at him. "This woman's martial arts are getting stronger and stronger. Even my uncle can't beat her. Now she's been married to Gong Beixuan. How easy is it to get rid of her?"

"Then let's not do it ourselves," the man leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

Long Shiyu was shocked after hearing this, "Is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true. If we use it well, we can kill someone with a borrowed knife." The man smiled cunningly, "Princess, if we succeed in getting rid of Chu Feiyan this time, will you take me as your consort?"

"You are just a bastard? Do you think you are qualified? Even if this princess is willing, my father and mother will not agree." There was disgust in Long Shiyu's eyes.

"Although I am a bastard's son, I am the one your father loves the most. I am much better than the legitimate son. If the princess is willing to recruit me as her consort, your father will use all the strength of the family to support you." said the man.

Seeing that she still looked unconvinced, he continued, "Princess, the Jiang family is one of the three great families in Jinxiu City. With the help of the Jiang family, as well as the support of the Zhenguo Mansion and the Qingjian Sect, you are not far from that position."

"Jiang Qi, shut up!" Long Shiyu scolded him and raised his hand to let the two maids in the room go back.

This is a statement of treason and disrespect. This man actually said it out loud. Does he want her to die?

Jiang Qi disagreed, "Princess, don't you really want to consider it?"

"Okay! I can give you a chance. If you can get Chu Feiyan's head this time, I will ask my father to arrange a marriage for us." Long Shiyu said.

A bootlicker who comes to the door should not be used in vain. If Chu Feiyan can be really killed, it can help her get rid of a big worry, and it can also show that this man has some real ability.

As for whether to make him a prince consort, it depends on my mood at that time.

Yingxue Pavilion.

Gong Beixuan was sitting behind the table, fiddling with some medicines.

Ji Song walked in and lowered his voice and said, "Master, the matter has been settled, but are we going to let Han Zhiyu go just like that?"

Gong Beixuan didn't raise his head. "She is still useful. Send more people to keep an eye on her."

"Yes!" Ji Song cupped his hands and walked out again.

Liang Ying came in with hot tea and put it on the table.

"Master, the snow outside is getting heavier. Ji Song just came back and said that the construction at the Imperial Master's Mansion has stopped. If the snow gets heavier, I'm afraid the mansion won't be repaired before the New Year!"

The master was still waiting for the mansion to be repaired before going to the Duke of Weiguo's mansion to present the betrothal gifts, but the weather suddenly changed and the workers were unable to do anything.

The houses in Longyuan Kingdom are all built with wood. The wood materials sent by the imperial court are sufficient, and a house can be built in a short time. It's just that the weather is not good!

Gong Beixuan looked up at the window, and thought of something. He put down the work in his hands and stood up, "I'll go out for a while."

Hearing this, Liang Ying brought the cloak and put it on him, "Master, where are you going?"

"You don't have to come with me." Gong Beixuan said and walked out of the room.

Winter comes relatively early in Longyuan Country. Although it is only the middle of winter now, it has entered the coldest time of the year. The weather has been gloomy in the past few days, and it snowed heavily today, making the temperature even colder.

Gong Beixuan walked out of Yingxue Pavilion, looked up at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and frowned slightly.

Walking on the half-foot thick snow, he walked towards Chu Feiyan's study.

Chu Feiyan was in the study at this time. He had just finished reading several secret letters sent by Qiu Ling. He slammed his hand on the table and his face was filled with anger.

"This damn Long Shiling."

"Princess, what's wrong?" Xia An asked hurriedly.
