But Cao Qinmo seemed to realize something, covered her mouth, and said with a smile: "But the child is still young, and Prince Honghui is already so old, and is deeply loved by the Emperor. The little prince in the future..."

She left things unsaid at just the right moment, leaving room for people to imagine.

Nian Shilan's eyes lit up and she glanced at Cao Qinmo coldly.

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I won't keep my sister here. Songzhi, get her two pieces of good fabric and send her out!"

Songzhi nodded, then waved her hand and said with a smile, "Those materials were given by the prince to our concubine. They are the only ones in the palace. Cao Gege, come with me to pick some out!"

Cao Qinmo had already dug her trap, so she didn't stay with Nian Shilan. She followed Songzhi to get the materials and returned to her own courtyard.

Little did she know that her every move was being watched by people arranged by Yixiu. As soon as she returned to her courtyard, someone reported her situation to Yixiu.

Yixiu didn't expect that after living a new life, the two of them would still be together.

She knew that Cao Qinmo would not come to her house for no reason, and she must have said something to Nian Shilan.

Therefore, she specifically instructed Huichun, "Send someone to keep an eye on Concubine Nian during this period."

Huichun nodded: "I understand."

.........

After the Fourth Prince returned to the palace, he was called away by Nian Shilan's men.

As soon as she saw the Fourth Prince, Nian Shilan burst into tears and threw herself into his arms, loudly complaining about her grievances: "Prince, if you don't come back, Shilan will be forced to death! Today, Shilan just got up a little late, and Fu Jin punished me to kneel outside, under such scorching sun, on such cold stone slabs, wuwuwu!"

Such a charming beauty would melt the Fourth Prince's heart.

He wiped Nian Shilan's cheek and comforted her softly, "Look at you crying, you're almost crying like a kitten! Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you!"

The Fourth Prince knew that Yixiu was not a petty person, and that Nian Shilan must have done something excessive, which was why she was forced to kneel outside as punishment.

But men are like this. He is willing to pamper Nian Shilan a little in some insignificant little things. After all, no one can resist a beautiful woman who acts coquettishly.

For several days in a row, the Fourth Prince stayed at Nian Shilan's place, causing complaints from other women in the palace.

Yixiu originally wanted to intervene, but since the Fourth Prince sent Su Peisheng to tell Yixiu that Nian Shilan was young and ignorant, if she had offended him in any way, she should turn a blind eye for his sake!

She no longer cared about these trivial matters. If she wanted to kill someone, she had to make him crazy first.

Although Nian Shilan has been spoiled these days, it is not a big mistake after all.

If she punished too harshly, not only would the Fourth Prince be distressed, but she would also be branded as mean and jealous.

When Nian Shilan makes a big mistake, even if the Fourth Prince doesn't take action himself, he will do it himself.

He also doesn't want to be known as a man who favors his concubine over his wife!

But Yixiu never expected that Nian Shilan would actually reach out to Honghui.

Honghui was old enough to go to school. After returning from school, he, Hongpan and Hongshi would feed the goldfish by the pond.

The three children were making a lot of noise, it was very lively.

Unexpectedly, a young eunuch suddenly reached out and tried to push Honghui into the pond, but before his hand touched Honghui, he was caught by Yixiu's men.

After being tortured and interrogated, the young eunuch confessed that it was Nian Shilan who ordered him to do it.

Yixiu was immediately furious. Just because she tolerated Nian Shilan didn’t mean she was afraid of her!

Is it because you are tired of living that you are reaching out to your own son?

Yixiu personally detained Nian Shilan with her men. As she was dragged away, Nian Shilan kept shouting, "How dare you lock me up? I'm the prince's concubine. You can't move without the prince's permission. I'll wait for the prince to come back, and he won't forgive you!"

Yixiu curled up a cruel smile. She didn't want Nian Shilan to wake up from her dream so soon, but now she really wanted to kill her and destroy her heart.

Therefore, Yixiu walked lightly and came to Nian Shilan with a smile. She lifted Nian Shilan's chin and said with a smile: "Do you think the prince really likes you?"

Even though she was being harshly oppressed, Nian Shilan still held her head high and retorted, "What else? You were just lucky to have a good son, so the prince made you his legal wife. In the prince's heart, I am the woman he loves most. Since I entered the palace, the prince has rarely visited you, right? Fu Jin, are you jealous and crazy?"

Yixiu's armor passed from Nian Shilan's forehead to her chin, and Yixiu looked carefully at this beautiful face.

Yixiu finally managed a cruel smile. "Since the prince likes you so much and dislikes me so much, why doesn't he depose me? Why not make you his legal wife? Oh, right, since I have a good son, how about we make a bet? In the prince's heart, who is more important, the son or you?"

Nian Shilan was not afraid at all. The prince treated her so well, almost holding her in his hands. She had to trust the prince.

Therefore, Nian Shilan agreed to Yixiu: "Let's bet, what do you want to bet on?"

Yixiu smiled and said, "Let's bet that if I tell His Majesty about this, will the prince protect you?"

Nian Shilan panicked after hearing this. Murdering the legitimate son is a serious crime!

Yixiu knew that Nian Shilan was afraid, and she was afraid that Nian Shilan would not agree, so she used provocation.

"You're not afraid to agree, are you? You keep saying how much the prince dotes on you, but that's just empty talk. Does the prince really love you? Since he loves you so much, and nothing has happened to Honghui, he can stop the emperor's punishment if he really wants to. After all, this way he can prove to everyone that you are the one he loves the most!"

Nian Shilan really took the bait, and angrily said, "The prince is sincere to me, why wouldn't I bet on anything? But you, if the prince had no feelings for you at all, I wonder if you could bear it! If I hadn't been born a few years later, do you really think the position of Concubine would be yours?"

Yixiu stopped talking and sent someone to hand over all the evidence to Kangxi.

When Yixiu finished dealing with the situation, she found that Nian Shilan was still being pinned to the ground. Yixiu became playful and asked someone to release Nian Shilan.

"Untie Concubine and have her wait for the prince at the door to see how he handles this matter!"

Nian Shilan was a little surprised at first. She didn't expect Yixiu to let her go, but when someone untied her, Nian Shilan immediately took her servants and ran to the gate of the palace, waiting for the Fourth Prince to come back.

Just when Shilan was waiting for her prince with hope, the door opened.

But Nian Shilan saw the Fourth Prince's angry face. She was a little scared and was about to speak when she was slapped hard in the face.
