Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees

Princess Changning's face turned pale and blue as she listened to Lu Yaoyao's words. She had never thought that she would be threatened like this by this seemingly weak country girl.

The physical pain and inner fear intertwined with each other almost made her collapse.

"You...you dare to poison me!" Princess Changning's voice trembled, and she pointed her finger at Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao remained calm, a subtle resoluteness in her eyes. "Princess, I had no intention of becoming your enemy, but you've been pressing me so hard that I've had no choice but to resort to this last resort. If you'll let me and my family go, and stop using those despicable tactics, I'll naturally spare your life."

Princess Changning was no longer able to refute at this moment. She could only breathe heavily, her eyes full of unwillingness and anger.

"Okay... okay, I promise I won't bother you anymore." Princess Changning finally compromised, with a hint of helplessness and humiliation in her voice.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded slightly, took out a delicate little bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill, and handed it to Princess Changning, "This is the antidote for this month, keep it. From now on, on this day of every month, you can send someone to get it."

Princess Changning took the pill with trembling hands, a hint of resentment and unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

She knew that she had fallen flat on her face today, but what made her even more angry was that she had misjudged Lu Yaoyao and mistakenly thought that she was someone who was easy to bully.

After taking the pill, Chang Ning took a sip of water to calm his disordered breathing. Then he said in a cold voice, "Does Liu Wenxuan know that you have such a vicious side beneath your gentle appearance?"

"Whether he knows it or not, I believe Princess Changning will keep this matter a secret from everyone, including him."

"Hmph." Chang Ning walked away angrily, as if only anger could help her save her dignity.

After returning to the palace, Princess Changning locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink for a whole day.

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. He was controlled by a country woman and there was nothing he could do to her?

No, she doesn't want to.

If she gave up so easily, she would not be Changning.

However, she couldn't think of any good way to deal with Lu Yaoyao for the time being, so without her secret obstruction, Lu Yaoyao and Liu Wenxuan's lives temporarily returned to peace.

Under Lu Yaoyao's careful management, the embroidery shop's business is booming.

Lu Yaoyao and Liu Wenxuan's feelings for each other are growing stronger day by day, and the two families have already sat down to discuss the wedding date.

The news that the two were about to get married was overheard by the monitor sent by Changning. When Changning heard about it, she almost went crazy.

"No, are you going to let me watch that country bitch marry Liu Wenxuan? I can't do that."

"Ah——" Her sharp nails scratched a mark on the precious carpet, and then she picked up a vase and smashed it on the ground.

"Bang, bang, bang..." There were several more crackling sounds.

The maids in the palace were frightened and fled.

The emperor learned that Changning had lost her appetite and didn't like to leave the palace during this period. She looked haggard. After leaving the court, he brought eunuchs and guards to visit her, and happened to see the frightened palace maid running away.

"Why are you running so fast? So rude!" A palace maid was grabbed by the wrist by the guard beside the emperor and questioned in a cold voice.

When the maid saw the emperor coming, she trembled with fear, knelt on the ground, and stammered, "Princess Changning lost her temper in the room and smashed a lot of things. We were scared..."

Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned, signaled the guards to release the palace maid, and then strode towards Princess Changning's bedroom.

Guards and eunuchs followed closely behind, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing.

When the door of the bedroom was opened, Princess Changning was seen sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was messy, the floor was a mess, precious porcelain fragments were scattered all over the floor, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of smoke and dust.

The emperor's heart sank, and his voice was filled with reproach and distress, "Changning, what are you doing?"

Princess Changning looked up and saw that it was her brother. Tears welled up in her eyes again and she threw herself into the emperor's arms, crying, "Brother, I won't accept this. I won't accept this! Lu Yaoyao is just a country woman. How could she take away the one I love? I won't accept this. I really won't accept this!"

The emperor patted Changning's back, trying to comfort her. "Changning, you're a princess, enjoying all the splendor and wealth. Why are you so obsessed with one man? There are so many outstanding people in this world. Why do you have to be with him?"

"But my royal brother, he is the only one in my heart. From childhood to adulthood, I have met many outstanding men, but this is the first time I like someone so much. I can't live without him." Princess Changning cried even more sadly.

The emperor sighed, knowing that matters of the heart could not be easily persuaded by reason, and he did not want to see Changning continue to go crazy and hurt himself.

"Changning, calm down for a few days. If you are determined to be with him, your brother will find a way for you. But you must remember that as a member of the royal family, your actions represent the reputation of the royal family. You must not act so recklessly again."

Princess Changning heard this, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. She looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes, as if she had grasped the last straw. "Really? Brother, will you really help me?"

The emperor nodded, his eyes complicated. "But you have to promise me that no matter what the outcome is, you will accept it and never do anything to hurt yourself again."

Princess Changning nodded quickly. She was willing to agree to anything as long as she could get Liu Wenxuan.

Changning confessed the whole story of how Lu Yaoyao poisoned her, and the emperor looked solemn after hearing it.

"She comes from the countryside, yet she dares to poison the princess and threaten her. It seems that her identity is far more than just a country girl." The emperor keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"What else could she be but a country woman?" Chang Ning refused to believe that she had any noble status.

"I will investigate her identity thoroughly. Before I find out her details, you are not allowed to act rashly."

"Royal brother, why don't you issue an order to marry her and take her into the harem? If Liu Wenxuan disagrees, it would be disobeying the order and his entire family would be punished. He will definitely compromise."

"Nonsense!" the emperor scolded. "Is this the abuse of royal power?"

After being scolded by him, Changning also became obedient, "Changning knows his mistake."

"But my royal brother, you must uncover that woman's true identity as soon as possible and let Liu Wenxuan know what a vicious person she is. He will no longer like her."

"Okay, my brother will do his best, but you are not allowed to act silly anymore."

"I know, I know."

The emperor returned to the imperial study and summoned his confidants, "Qingfeng, go and test your fiancée Liu Wenxuan yourself and see how good her skills are."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Yaoyao and her maid came out of the embroidery shop and went to Baihuasi to pick silk threads. Along the way, she felt that someone was following her, but when she turned around, she could not see anything.

She was sure that someone was following her, but the other person was so skilled in martial arts that it was not easy to be detected.
