She wanted to become the white moonlight that Xu Jingye longed for, and with the props she used on Xu Jingye's admiration value, she would hold him tightly. After Xu Jingye got the throne, she would step on Yun Shu and become the queen of Tianze Kingdom.

"Yao'er, you are indeed the most innocent and kind girl in the world!"

Xu Jingye looked at Yan Shuyao lovingly. Yan Shuyao held back her tears, looking forbearing and aggrieved.

Xu Jingye couldn't help but reach out his hand to her, wanting to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. His hand fell in mid-air and stopped, his gaze fixed on the outside of the hall door.

Yan Shuyao followed his gaze and was extremely surprised.

There was a fairy-like figure outside the hallway. She was dressed in snow-white, and the hood of her silver fox cloak covered most of her face, leaving only her lips as white as jade and her delicate chin exposed, which was enough to exude an irresistible aura.

who is it?

The woman came slowly and lowered the hood of her cloak. A beautiful face suddenly appeared. Then she took off the silver fox cloak covered with snowflakes and handed it to the maid beside her.

The true face beneath the cloak is finally revealed.

She was wearing a crescent-white dress, with her long hair flowing freely like a waterfall, like silk dancing in the wind.

Her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, her eyes were like stars, her eyes were cold and distant, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised with a faint smile.

The sight of her long flowing hair seemed to be able to tug at people's hearts, making people fall for her and indulge in her peerless grace.

Everyone present held their breath.

There was a loud bang and the sound of a teacup falling, and the three people present suddenly woke up.

Before Xu Jingye could ask, "Who are you, young lady?", Yan Yunshu bowed to Xu Jingye.

The first one to speak was expressionless.

"Yan Yunshu greets His Highness."

In Xu Jingye's shock.

Yan Yunshu did not bow to Prime Minister Yan and just sat down.

"you you you……"

Prime Minister Yan was not the most surprised one. He quickly came to his senses and began to scold Yan Yunshu.

"You are so disrespectful to treat your father like this in front of His Highness. Do you even understand what filial piety is?"

Yan Yunshu sneered, feeling particularly irritated. It had only been quiet for a few hours, and the chattering day was about to begin again.

But she was alone now, in the Prime Minister's residence, and had not yet left the house to get any help. She really had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue arguing with these people.

She took a deep breath and replied coldly, "Perhaps Prime Minister Yan doesn't have a daughter named 'Evil Beast'."

After saying this, Yan Yunshu stared at Prime Minister Yan with cold eyes.

Seeing Yan Yunshu about to go crazy, Prime Minister Yan had no choice but to stop dwelling on the matter. However, he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to scold her for being late.

Yan Yunshu spoke first.

"I heard that His Highness was looking for me."

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at Xu Jingye.

The words were without a trace of emotion, as cold as small ice cubes hitting the ground.

Xu Jingye ignored her indifference.

He just stared blankly at Yan Yunshu in front of him, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Is this still the Yan Yunshu who used to paint herself like a village woman?

Is she really Yan Yunshu?

Why is she so beautiful? It can no longer be simply described as beautiful. He really can't believe that a person can transform so quickly overnight.

But she was indeed Yan Yunshu. Her voice and her appearance were both familiar and unfamiliar. She clearly bore the shadow of Yunshu three years ago when she was about to enter her prime. At that time, Yunshu had a beautiful appearance and a childishness, which was very similar to her now.

Xu Jingye's hostility towards Yan Yunshu inexplicably lessened by more than half. In fact, his disgust for Yunshu was not only because she bullied Yao'er and harassed him, but also because he had to get along with her even though he was obviously disgusted by her.

It also came from a feeling that he himself couldn't explain. Sometimes he felt that he could remember their past relationship and not humiliate her so severely, but he would often be affected by an inexplicable emotion and treat her even more cruelly.

His fingertips trembled slightly and he was about to say something.

Yan Shuyao tugged at his clothes.

That inexplicable feeling of disgust came again.

His brows gradually furrowed and his face became full of anger.

"Yan Yunshu! I've been waiting for over an hour! Do you still have me in your eyes? Or do you still think you can transcend the imperial power?!"

Everything was as expected. Yan Yunshu pretended to be frightened, quickly stood up and knelt down towards Xu Jingye.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I have something to hide, which is why I'm so late!"

"What's the secret?" the eldest prince asked impatiently.

Yan Yunshu said loudly.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Yan locked me up in the woodshed last night. He sent someone to tell me that when Your Highness arrived, I was filthy and exhausted. If I were to come and see Your Highness, it would be disrespectful. That's why I went back to my own courtyard, washed up, and hurried here."

Xu Jingye frowned slightly and looked at Prime Minister Yan.

Although he had long known that Prime Minister Yan would torture and punish Yan Yunshu from time to time, he had no idea that he had even locked up the woodshed?

Of course, this is not the point. A wicked woman like Yan Yunshu deserves death.

The main thing is, even though he knew that I would come to see Yan Yunshu today, he still locked her in the woodshed and made him wait!

I have wasted so much of my time in vain!

How abominable!

Prime Minister Yan’s face naturally turned black.

"You, you, you! When did I ever lock you up in the woodshed? Don't talk nonsense in front of His Highness!"

Yan Yunshu covered her temples and pretended to faint.

"It's cold and hungry in the woodshed. I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable right now."

"You, you, you! Stop talking nonsense!"

Prime Minister Yan was furious. Although he knew that the eldest prince hated Yan Yunshu, he wanted to save face and did not want to be exposed for torturing the eldest daughter.

"enough!"

Xu Jingye saw that the two of them were getting further and further away over such a trivial matter.

Getting impatient.

He didn't care whether Yun Shu closed the woodshed or not. He came here with a purpose today and just wanted to get it over with as soon as possible.

Yan Yunshu naturally knew that he didn't care, and even hoped that she would be even more miserable. She said this just to tear off the last fig leaf of Prime Minister Yan in front of Xu Jingye!

To make the eldest prince's party fall apart, start with him.

In the past, her father had grasped her weak spot, Xu Jingye.

But now it’s different. The weakness he could exploit is long gone.

In her eyes, Xu Jingye is just a piece of shit!

"what happened?"

Xu Jingye asked Yan Xiang very impatiently, he had been here for such a long time today, but he hadn't done any business yet, and he had just been waiting and listening to them talking nonsense.

Minister Yan's face was filled with grief and indignation. He said, "This evil woman! Not only did she bully Yao'er at the banquet yesterday, she is also suspected of stealing in the palace."

"Oh? What did you steal?"

Xu Jingye was surprised.

"An extremely rare silver fox cloak." Yun Lian replied quickly.

Yan Yunshu sneered, "Your Highness, this cloak was simply given to me yesterday by a kindhearted individual in the palace whose name I don't know. But my concubine's sister made groundless accusations and slandered me. Then, Prime Minister Yan imprisoned me in the woodshed without any evidence."

Xu Jingye originally wanted to settle this family matter quickly, but when he heard Yan Yunshu mention Yao'er, he stood up.

He pointed at Yan Yunshu.

"Nonsense! Yao'er is kindhearted, how could she slander you for no reason! You really are..."

Xu Jingye was halfway through his words when his eyes fell on the cloak and he was stunned.

That was clearly the silver fox cloak of the emperor's younger brother Xu Jinghuai.

I still remember that this silver fox cloak has a long history. According to Xu Jinghuai's description, it was obtained in the tragic "Moon Watching Battle".

He did not explain to him in detail how he got it, but he only knew that he treasured the cloak very much.

But now, this cloak is actually with Yan Yunshu!

Obviously, Yan Yunshu does not have the ability to steal Xu Jinghuai's cloak!

So, could it be that Xu Jinghuai also has his eyes on Yan Yunshu's maternal grandfather's power?

Sure enough, Xu Jinghuai's evil ambitions have become obvious!
