The Lord God is kneeling on the washboard again

At this moment, in the hall of the Prince Regent's Mansion, only Yun Mohan (Nangong Han), Prince Xiao, and Xuan Xiao were present.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) looked at him coldly, waiting for him to continue. Prince Xiao coughed lightly and continued, "Prince Regent, the First and Third Princes are now vying for the throne and rallying their forces, causing panic throughout the court. I am well aware of your prestige and power within the court, so I have come here specifically, hoping to work with you to address the current situation." Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Prince Xiao is a man of words, but why should I trust you?"

Prince Xiao hurriedly said, "Regent, I have a sincere heart for you. The situation is critical now. If we don't unite, I'm afraid the court will be in chaos. Moreover, as long as the Regent is willing to cooperate with me, you will definitely benefit from it after the success."

Yun Mohan slammed the table, stood up, and shouted angrily, "Prince Xiao, who do you take me for? I am solely dedicated to the stability of the court. How could I make such a deal with you?"

Prince Xiao was frightened by Yun Mohan's aura and quickly bowed and said, "Prince Regent, please calm down. My words were inappropriate. I hope you will forgive me."

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) sat down again, staring at Prince Xiao with a sharp gaze, and said, "Prince Xiao, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said today. You can take care of yourself!"

Xuan Xiao's expression turned extremely ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He could only say awkwardly, "In that case, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Xuan Xiao left the Regent's Palace in disgrace.

Prince Xiao's Mansion, this magnificent residence is located in a prosperous area of ​​the capital. Its vermilion gate is tightly closed, and two majestic stone lions in front of the gate highlight the majesty of the palace.

Within the high walls, pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner, dotted with rockery and ponds. In the garden, flowers bloom in profusion, their fragrance permeates the air, and butterflies dance among the blossoms.

The servants in the palace were busy and orderly, each doing their job. The patrolling guards walked in step, their expressions serious.

In the study, Xuan Xiao was deep in thought facing a map. The flickering candlelight on the table illuminated his gloomy expression.

In the backyard, the princess was chatting and laughing with a group of noble ladies. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing precious jewelry, and their every move showed their noble temperament.

In the kitchen, smoke curls up as the chefs carefully prepare delicious dishes, and the aroma wafts into the air.

The entire Prince Xiao's Mansion seems peaceful and harmonious, but in fact, there are undercurrents surging inside. Everyone is trying to find his or her own place in this vortex of power and desire.

Prince Xiao returned to his palace and his beautiful concubine came forward to greet him.

"My lord, you are back from your trip today. I have been looking forward to seeing you." The beautiful concubine said in a sweet voice, her eyes full of tenderness and love.

Prince Xiao had a gloomy look on his face. He ignored her and walked straight into the house.

Seeing this, the concubine's heart tightened. She followed cautiously and asked, "My Lord, what happened to make you so unhappy?"

Prince Xiao suddenly stopped and shouted angrily, "When is it your turn to interfere in my affairs?"

The beautiful concubine was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly knelt down: "Your Highness, please calm down. I know I was wrong."

Prince Xiao snorted, continued walking forward, sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a big gulp.

"This Nangong Han is really stubborn!" Xuan Xiao said hatefully.

The concubine knelt and slowly moved to Prince Xiao's side. She gently tugged at the corner of his clothes and said timidly, "Your Highness, please don't get yourself upset. What on earth has made you so angry?"

Xuan Xiao glanced at her, sighed deeply, and said, "I went to see Nangong Han today, hoping to join forces with him, but he didn't take me seriously at all."

My beautiful concubine, Your Highness, my sister has long admired the Regent.

Xuan Xiao frowned, looked at his concubine, and asked, "How about this? Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me!"

The beautiful concubine glanced at Prince Xiao with a sly look and said, "Your Highness, I think it would be better if I could get closer to the Regent. Perhaps I could get you some useful information, or... maybe even persuade the Regent to favor us."

Xuan Xiao pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and said, "This plan is feasible, but can your sister take on this important task? Don't let it backfire."

The concubine quickly said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. My sister is smart and beautiful. She will definitely attract the attention of the Regent."

A trace of doubt flashed across Xuan Xiao's eyes, and he said, "This matter still needs to be carefully considered. We must not let the news leak out."

The beautiful concubine nodded and replied, "I understand. I will make careful arrangements."

Xuan Xiao stood up and paced around the room, saying, "If this can be accomplished, I will definitely not treat you sisters unfairly."

The beautiful concubine was filled with joy and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my utmost to assist Your Highness in achieving your great cause."

In the courtyard of Princess Xiao, Nalan Qin, the maid was indignant. "Princess, that beautiful concubine is too much. She actually came up with this method to win your favor. She simply doesn't take you seriously." The maid said angrily.

Nalan Qin sat on the couch, the embroidered handkerchief in her hand paused slightly, but her face still maintained a dignified expression. She said, "Don't be so impatient. She is just relying on the prince's temporary favor."

The maid said anxiously, "Princess, you are too kind-hearted. That beautiful concubine is so unscrupulous now. Who knows what she will do in the future."

Nalan Qin sighed softly and said, "The prince's mind is unpredictable. We must act cautiously in this mansion and must not act impulsively."

The maid bit her lip and said, "But Princess, are we just going to let that beautiful concubine do whatever she wants?"

Nalan Qin put down the embroidery in her hands, looked out the window, and said slowly: "Let's see what tricks she can come up with. Your Majesty knows what to do."

The maidservant was still a little unwilling and said, "Princess, aren't you worried that the beautiful concubine's sister will really win the favor of the Regent?"

Nalan Qin sneered and said disdainfully, "Who do you think the Regent Nangong Han is? How can any random woman catch his eye? It's a joke!"

The maid blinked and said, "But what if..."

Nalan Qin interrupted her: "There's no such thing as a chance! The Regent is a cold and aloof person with a deep mind. How could he be deceived by such a superficial woman?"

The maid hesitated for a moment, then added, "But that beautiful concubine is so actively planning now, I'm afraid she won't give up easily."

Nalan Qin snorted coldly: "Let her plan whatever she wants. I want to see what she can come up with."

The maid said, "Princess, it's better to be careful."

Nalan Qin's eyes were firm as he said, "I know what I'm doing. She can't cause any big trouble."

Nalan Qin continued, "What's more, the relationship between Regent Nangong Han and Sun Moon Palace Master Xing Xuanli is as strong as gold. No one else can interfere."

The maid suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I was overthinking it."

Nalan Qin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That beautiful concubine is obsessed with currying favor with the powerful, but she doesn't know the real dangers involved. Even if her sister really has the means, the Regent will never be moved by them."

The maid echoed, "The princess is right. It is the beautiful concubine who is wishful thinking."

Nalan Qin took a sip of tea and said, "Well, there's no need to worry about this matter anymore. Let's see how they bring trouble upon themselves."
