After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

He Zhixiao was stunned for a moment.

She loves red very much and almost all her clothes are red.

Why not?

"Mother heard that Yan Yunshu from the Marquis' Mansion usually wears elegant clothes, and His Royal Highness was temporarily bewitched by her. I think His Royal Highness was just looking for something new... You have to know that men are like this. Many things are only new for a while, but they don't last. If you want to hold his heart firmly, you still have to let him try something different occasionally."

"Mother, are you asking me to pretend to be that innocent, weak, yet scheming little white flower?" He Zhixiao frowned, extremely displeased. "I despise you, I don't like you. I find you disgusting..."

"Alas, mother knows that my son, Xiao'er, is frank and straightforward and despises those scheming things, but right now, isn't this happening for a reason?" Zhang blinked at He Zhixiao, "Just this once, what's wrong with trying to please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? As long as I can get what he wants, it's all good."

"Mother, Xiao'er is used to being upright and honest. I really don't want to fall into the schemes and tricks of this secluded woman..."

"Alright, alright... Just listen to mother this time, just this once..."

Zhang looked at He Zhixiao with a smile.

He Zhixiao lowered his brows, exhaled heavily, responded with a "hmm", and looked towards the mansion gate again.

Taozhi, Zhang's personal maid, was shocked when she heard the mother and daughter speaking in such a pretentious and affectational manner.

Despise scheming and tricks.

Nor do I want to fall into schemes and tricks.

So what were you two discussing just now?

As she was thinking, Zhang suddenly looked at her and said, "Taozhi, prepare the best aphrodisiac powder for tomorrow."

The peach branches responded.

"Go ahead and prepare it right away. Prepare ten times the amount you normally give to the master."

Taozhi was stunned.

ten times? !

She looked at Zhang in surprise. The original amount was already enormous.

This time, Zhang actually asked me to prepare ten times as much?

"What are you standing there for? I told you to prepare like this, so just prepare like this!"

Taozhi had no choice but to retreat.

She complained in her heart as she walked. As Zhang's personal maid, it had always been like this. She was the one who came up with the ideas and put them into action.

On ordinary days, there are intrigues and plots in this mansion, and it’s okay to deceive the master.

The target now is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

She returned to her room and adjusted the dosage of the powder, feeling increasingly uneasy.

It was as if I saw my own head falling to the ground.

She could only pray that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would remain calm and marry the young lady into the palace without pursuing any questions. That way, she would be able to rest assured.

That's what she was thinking.

A dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of the closed window.

……

An hour passed.

The sound of a carriage stopping was heard in front of He Mansion.

He Zhixiao stood up suddenly and ran towards the mansion gate.

My heart almost jumped out of my chest, and beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.

His hands were shaking violently again, unable to bear the pain.

My breathing almost stopped.

The coachman put down his footstool and lifted the curtain.

Her father was seen bending over, holding his clothes, sticking his head out of the carriage, and then carefully getting out of the carriage.

Then he raised his face with a smile of surprise.

He looked at He Zhixiao and Zhang who were already waiting for him at the gate of the mansion.

He Zhixiao understood instantly, and a stone finally fell to the ground.

It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has her in his heart.

He had not forgotten how she risked her life to protect him on the battlefield. Even though he knew the truth, he only gave her a warning through the content of the notice.

The smile returned to her face.

She walked towards her father.

As expected, I heard my father say loudly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed very readily, saying that he would bring distinguished guests from afar to the He Mansion to celebrate tomorrow."

He Zhixiao could no longer hide the joy in his heart.

She grinned smugly.

Then he looked in the direction of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.

Yan Yunshu, even if you have the ability to seduce His Royal Highness, so what? I am the one who has been through thick and thin with His Royal Highness, and only I am worthy of a place in His Royal Highness's heart.

And this position cannot be shaken by anyone.

Even you, a seductress who seduces the world, cannot be shaken.

A sneer appeared on her lips. At this moment, she couldn't wait to get back in front of Yan Yunshu the contempt and disregard she had suffered from her a few days ago.

Thinking of this, she quickly changed into a red dress, rode the tall horse given by the emperor, and headed towards the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

He rode his horse all the way, attracting everyone's attention.

The female general in red is heroic and is admired by everyone.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that although the female general in red was worthy of admiration and respect, she was still just a mortal. When faced with what happened to Mrs. Peng that day, she would still escape, shrink back, and be unwilling to admit it.

So they just looked at it a few more times and talked about it a few more times.

I won’t say more.

In front of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion, golden ginkgo leaves were flying everywhere.

He Zhixiao explained his purpose to the guards of the Marquis' Mansion.

"I have something to ask Miss Yan Yunshu of your mansion. Please let me know."

After saying this, the guards looked at each other, called the servant over, and gave the servant some instructions.

The servant hurried towards Yan Yunshu's yard.

He Zhixiao waited in front of the Marquis's Mansion, looking inside.

The grandeur of the Marquis's Mansion was unmatched by any other mansion, and its official rank and title were beyond the reach of her and her father.

Because she had seen so much of this kind of grandeur, she had longed to possess all of this splendor since she was a child, so she tried every possible way to walk out of the He Mansion step by step, and get closer to the highest imperial power in Tianze little by little, even wearing a military uniform that she extremely disliked. She finally got to where she is today, so how could she give up?

However, she also knew that coming to provoke was not a wise move.

But what could she do? She just couldn't control the pride in her heart.

He desperately wanted to let Yan Yunshu, who had looked down on him in the past, see who was the real winner.

Even if Yan Yunshu is very likely to refuse to see me, that's fine.

It would also allow the world to see Yan Yunshu's rudeness and hostility towards herself.

As she was thinking, the corners of her mouth were raised with pride.

Then he saw Yan Yunshu coming towards him.

She walked with a lazy gait and a radiant complexion. Her face, backlit by the autumn sun, exuded a hazy, soul-stirring beauty.

He Zhixiao was stunned for a moment.

Until Yan Yunshu walked in front of him.

His face was still filled with a dazed look, but within that daze was a strong sense of resentment and jealousy.

I saw a slight smile on Yan Yunshu's lips.

"General He, how are you?"

He Zhixiao came out of his daze only after hearing Yan Yunshu's words.

He quickly suppressed the emotions on his face and said.

"I didn't expect Miss Yan to agree to meet me."

"How could I not agree..." Yan Yunshu smiled gently, "The general is a great general from my Tianze country who returned with military honors. He is a great hero who protected us, the defenseless children of officials. We should treat him with courtesy."
