Qi Wan said goodbye to his parents and returned to Yilan Courtyard with his servants.

She first rewarded the servants, "Mrs. Wu has done a great job, so I reward her with ten taels of silver."

"Bai Ma, Chun Yan, Xia Feng, and Dong Qing, five taels of silver each."

"Give each of the maids and old women one or two taels of silver."

"Thank you for the reward, Miss." The maids and servants came happily to bow and thank the young lady.

In the past, Qi Wan only listened to Lan Ting's words, and treated other servants indifferently, neither using them nor rewarding them.

Even though he had always treated them like this, in their previous lives, they were still loyal to him and died for him.

Qi Wan looked at the loyal servants around him and decided to treat them well in the future.

Qi Wan arranged, "Leave Baima and Xia Feng to take the night shift, and the others can leave."

"Yes, ma'am."

Bai Ma and Xia Feng stayed to help the young lady change her clothes, take a bath, and go to bed to rest.

Bai Ma rested in the green gauze cabinet.

Xia Feng spread out the quilt and she wanted to sleep in front of the bed and keep watch all night.

It was mid-May and it wasn't cold even sleeping on the ground.

When the weather got cold, Qi Wan decided to let the maid on duty sleep on the pedal.

The maids and old women on night duty all knew that the young lady basically didn't drink water or get up at night on weekdays.

After helping the young lady to bed, covering her with a quilt and drawing the curtains, Xia Feng fell asleep peacefully.

Qi Wan held the bracelet, turned a bead, and flashed into the space.

She entered the third floor of the space, and spent some time in front of a row of jars filled with poisons, and selected two poisons: ulcerous poison and heartbreaking poison.

She carefully used a porcelain spoon to scoop a spoonful of poison, put them into two small porcelain bottles, and put them in her arms.

Qi Wan went downstairs, and while turning the beads, she said, "Let's go to the study in the Third Prince's Mansion."

"Swoosh" her eyes darkened and her body seemed to be flying.

She landed silently on the roof of the study in the Third Prince's Mansion like a little bird.

Qi Wan moved the glazed tiles on the roof a little and looked down.

The third prince was sitting in the hall, holding a woman with one arm and talking to a man with a bulging belly.

As soon as Qi Wan saw the third prince, he wanted to kill him immediately.

The Third Prince had a smile on his square face, his two thick black eyebrows raised, and his eyes revealed a cunning and calculating light.

"You thief, I'm here to take your life today." Qi Wan cursed inwardly.

Qi Wan had to wait until the other two left before taking action.

When she took a quick look at the two people's appearance, her pupils constricted.

The fat man turned out to be Qi You, the son of the third wife, who was speaking respectfully to the third prince.

The woman turned out to be Ding Ling'er, the niece of the third wife, Xiao Ding.

Ding Ling'er, who had always wanted to marry into the first or second house of the Qi family.

Qi You smiled respectfully and said, "We will do our best to complete what His Highness has asked us to do. Sending my cousin to serve His Highness is a token of sincerity from our Qi and Ye families."

"Haha, okay." The third prince laughed.

Qi You tried to ask: "Your Highness, Lan Ting was caught stealing jewelry and was beaten to death. Are you not angry?"

"Why are you angry? The daughter of a guilty minister is just a maid." The third prince shook his head indifferently.

Qi Wan showed a sneer on his face, thinking that everyone was a tool for the Third Prince to ascend to the throne.

In his previous life, Lan Ting gave birth to a son for him, and his brother Lan Jian eliminated the Qi family for him, but in the end he still used him as a shield.

In this life, he had executed Lan Ting early on, and the Third Prince was not at all sad about her death.

The only things he cares about most are the throne and himself.

Qi You heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Third Prince was not angry. "Your Highness is wise. You will surely achieve your wish."

“Hahaha.” The Third Prince laughed. “Go back. I’ll send someone to inform you if anything happens.”

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll take my leave." Qi You bowed deeply and left.

The Third Prince hugged Ding Ling'er and teased, "Beauty, go to the backyard to take a bath first, and then wear your bellyband and wait for me to come back and favor you."

"As you command, Your Highness." Ding Ling'er blushed and knelt down to pay her respects. "I'll take my leave."

A palace maid came in and led Ding Ling'er out the door.

Qi Wan saw that the Third Prince was the only one in the room. She looked at the opened teacup and took out a bottle of poison, preparing to pour the poison powder into it.

Suddenly, a figure appeared from behind the screen, and Qi Wan put the poison back into his arms.

The man took a step and staggered, he was a lame man.

"Your Highness, you must accept such an ugly girl." The man pointed at Ding Ling'er's back.

"It doesn't matter if we turn off the lights." The third prince laughed obscenely, "It's cleaner than going to a brothel."

The third prince looked like a decent human being, but he spoke in a vulgar and shameless manner, and laughed out loud after he finished speaking.

The Third Prince smiled and asked again, "Master Ren, what is your opinion?"

Master Ren praised: "Your Highness is a man who can accomplish great things. He can bend and stretch as needed."

"Haha." The third prince laughed triumphantly again.

Master Ren said, "As long as the third branch of the Qi family is on board, there is no need to worry about the first branch not being fooled. Your Highness, you just need to find a way to make the eldest daughter of the first branch marry you, and the matter will be mostly settled."

"She has been a 15-year-old girl and no one has proposed marriage to her. She has been anxious for a long time." The third prince was very confident. "As long as I show up, she will rush to me, just like Ding Ling'er."

"When will Your Highness go to the Qi Mansion to propose marriage?" asked Master Ren.

The Third Prince turned the lid of the teapot and thought for a moment, "Next month, the Lan family said they would give me a sum of gold and silver. I will help them escape punishment, and they should be arriving in the capital soon."

Master Ren said, "Yes, if you use the gold and silver to propose marriage, the Qi family will double the dowry, killing two birds with one stone."

"Hahaha, that's right." The third prince was in a very good mood. "The Qi family is rich, and the Pei family is even richer. If I kill a big fat cow, I can buy more people to serve me."

He was very excited, "The Crown Prince and the Second Prince's men can also be bribed."

"Your Highness is wise, there is no one else in the world who can compare to you." Master Ren praised.

The third prince was very pleased and promised, "If it's done, you will be the prime minister."

"Prime Minister Pei, that old bastard, I have long disliked him. He is entangled with the noble families to oppose the royal family."

"Your Highness is a wise ruler unprecedented in history!" Master Ren flattered him to the utmost.

After hearing the two men's plot against her and the Qi family, Qi Wan recalled her experiences in her previous life and became so angry that she almost vomited blood again.

She suppressed her anger and decided to kill the two bastards.

In order to gain a high position, Mr. Ren wanted to harm the Qi family and her uncle, Prime Minister Pei. His crimes were so heinous that he deserved death.

She took out the poison again, ready to find an opportunity to throw it into their tea bowls.

A guard came in and reported, "Your Highness, there is a letter."

"Show it to me." The Third Prince held out his hand. "I have been waiting for Prince Ha'er's letter."

Master Ren asked hurriedly, "Your Highness, is this a letter from Prince Ha'er of Linpa?"

"If not him, then who else?" The third prince unfolded the letter while speaking.

Qi Wan was shocked because Linba Kingdom had always been an enemy of Pu Dynasty.

Her grandfather led his troops to drive the invading enemy forces of Linba Kingdom out of the territory many times.

Unexpectedly, the third prince actually betrayed the country!

The Third Prince was so excited when he read the letter, "Great, that's great."

"What good news?" Master Ren asked, "Is it about joining forces?"

"Yes." The third prince placed the letter on the candle flame and burned it.

After he threw away the ashes, Fang smiled and said, "Prince Haer is ranked ninth. The previous princes are all dead, and there are still a lot of nephews. It will never be his turn to take the throne."

“He’s got one person’s support now.”

"Who?" Master Ren asked curiously.

"He was the Khan's father's concubine. The two of them had an affair. The concubine's brother had military power and promised to help him get a position. If successful, he would become the state advisor."

"That's great." Master Ren clapped his hands excitedly. "When the time comes, Master, you will take the throne. Lin Pa will send troops and the Qi family will fight for a few years. After you have secured your throne, you can eliminate the Qi family in one fell swoop."

"Hahaha, that's exactly what I was planning."

The third prince was very proud. "If I cannot get the daughter of the Qi family, and the Qi family does not help me, I will also let Ha Er send troops and send the Qi family to lead the troops to fight, and then wipe out the Qi family army in one fell swoop to avenge me."

He turned to look at Master Ren and smiled, "And to avenge Master Ren."

"Okay, okay, I will avenge myself and die with my eyes closed. Thank you, Your Highness." Master Ren bowed deeply.
