The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

This was undoubtedly even more to Yi Zhuxuan's liking, and Yi Zhuxuan nodded hurriedly, "Then this servant will go right away."

Seeing An Mi nod in approval, Yi Zhuxuan happily turned and left the courtyard. As she turned, all the emotions on An Mi's face, which had been warm and friendly, vanished quickly, replaced by a gloomy expression. She watched Yi Zhuxuan leave, her unfathomable eyes filled with a turbulent atmosphere.

"You gave the bracelet to her!" Bai Yi's voice slowly echoed in the room after Yi Zhuxuan had completely disappeared from An Mi's sight. His bright eyes were fixed on An Mi, as if he were asking her something, or perhaps he was reminding her that she seemed to have something she hadn't told him.

He had recently acquired the bracelet from a merchant. It was no ordinary bracelet; its secret lay in the fact that while it appeared crystal clear and real, it was not what it seemed on the surface. The jade had undergone meticulous processing and was imbued with a faint fragrance. If one did not smell it closely, it was indistinguishable from the scent of rouge. He had given the bracelet to An Mi after acquiring it, but he never expected that she would give it to Yi Zhuxuan today.

An Mi knew the secret behind the bracelet, so she must have had her own plans when she gave the jade bracelet to Yi Zhuxuan today.

An Mi was slightly startled, but was pulled back to her senses by Bai Yi's voice. She looked up and met Bai Yi's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She originally did not intend to tell Bai Yi about this, but she had underestimated Bai Yi's shrewdness. He probably saw through her unusual behavior from the very beginning.

"I want Yi Zhuxuan's life, and not only that, I also want Feng Yu's life!" An Mi thought of what she had heard and the truth that Yi Fei had found out, and a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

Bai Yi's eyes narrowed. "What happened?"

Based on his understanding of Anmi, Anmi was not someone who would take lives lightly. If she was determined to take someone else's life, there must be a very good reason for it, and there must be something in it that he did not know.

"The lives of the widow village sisters back then were not due to Liu Zhan, but rather..."

An Mi told Bai Yi everything she knew. Bai Yi listened and, just by looking at An Mi's expression, he knew that An Mi was determined to take Yi Zhuxuan and Feng Yu's lives. He would support An Mi in whatever she wanted to do, even if it meant going against the world!

After hearing everything, Bai Yi didn't say anything. He simply held the agitated An Mi in his arms to comfort her. Thinking of Feng Yu, Bai Yi's sharp eyes narrowed slightly.

Over the years, he has never forgotten his sister's grudge, but he has never directly confronted the Feng family. However, now may be an opportunity, and it is time for his war with the Feng family to begin!

Yi Zhuxuan moved into the tranquil courtyard. Everyone in the Bohai Prince's Mansion knew that recently the future princess had become very close to the maid named Zhuxuan. She let the maid handle everything and they were almost inseparable. It was clear that the future princess relied on and trusted this maid.

In the Prince's mansion, some people began to speculate that this Miss Zhuxuan's status among the servants might surpass that of Yifei and Liuguang. As for Yi Zhuxuan, all the servants in the mansion began to fawn over her. To some extent, Yi Zhuxuan enjoyed their envy, but on the other hand, she became even more jealous of Anmi.

She knew that the reason why the servants of the Prince's mansion were so polite to her was entirely because she had become An Mi's personal maid. An Mi's maids were all superior to others, which made her feel increasingly unbalanced. At the same time, Yi Zhuxuan became more and more active in the things she was secretly planning.

With one day left until the deadline given by Feng Yu, Yi Zhuxuan rested in the side room of the house as An Mi had instructed, just like the day before. In the middle of the night, a scream came from the room, waking Yi Zhuxuan, who was already a light sleeper.

Yi Zhuxuan sat up with a start, realizing that the voice coming from inside the room was An Mi's. She quickly got out of bed and rushed into the inner room. Seeing An Mi sitting at the foot of the bed, she frowned slightly. "Miss, what's wrong? Why are you sitting on the floor?"

Yi Zhuxuan stepped forward and tried to help An Mi up, secretly observing An Mi's condition. An Mi was covered in sweat and had a pale face. Her fear was evident at a glance, as if she had just experienced something that terrified her.

An Mi gasped for breath, her gaze still flickering. She looked up and saw Yi Zhuxuan, then suddenly grabbed Yi Zhuxuan's arm. "Where is the prince? Where is the prince?"

"Your Highness? Miss, what's wrong with you?" Yi Zhuxuan realized that An Mi's situation was unusual and continued to ask.

"The prince isn't dead, is he? That was a dream, it must have been a dream!" An Mi murmured unconsciously, shaking her head slightly.

This subtle information revealed something that Yi Zhuxuan noticed.

A dream? The Prince? Death? Yi Zhuxuan had been waiting for an opportunity, and she hadn't expected such a chance tonight. She could almost guess what kind of dream An Mi had. Yi Zhuxuan lowered her brows, concealing the eerie glint in her eyes. "Miss must be having a nightmare. The Prince is probably asleep right now. But what exactly did Miss dream about? Perhaps you could tell me. With me by your side, it won't be so scary."

An Mi suddenly grabbed Yi Zhuxuan's hand, looked up to meet her eyes, as if trying to see something in them, and frowned slightly, "Really?"

Yi Zhuxuan smiled and nodded firmly, "Of course, Miss, what exactly did you dream about?"

An Mi seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned even more pale. She gripped Yi Zhuxuan's hand even tighter. "Yi Xuan, it's so scary. I dreamt... I dreamt that the Prince... died, died!"

Yi Zhuxuan froze, An Mi still seemingly immersed in the horror of the dream she had just had, "The entire Bohai Prince's Mansion was convicted, not a single person survived, not even Liu'er..."

Anmi seemed unable to continue speaking at this point, and in the end, only trembling remained.

Yi Zhuxuan was stunned for a long time, digesting An Mi's words. It seemed as if she had grasped something in her mind: the entire Bohai Prince's Mansion was convicted, and no one was alive?

She was worried about not having a suitable entry point, but she didn't expect this opportunity to come so suddenly. It was truly God helping her. Yi Zhuxuan was excited. However, she suddenly thought of something and had to suppress her excitement and become more vigilant. Was An Mi just acting?

But after she looked at Anmi for a long time, she couldn't see any fakeness in the fear on Anmi's face. If it was acting, then her acting skills were too good!

She admitted that Anmi was shrewd, but why would she deliberately act before she understood her own thoughts and calculations?

Thinking it over, Yi Zhuxuan gradually breathed a sigh of relief. She must have been too cautious, which was why she was worried about An Mi's apparent falsehood. With the three-day deadline approaching tomorrow, she had to take the gamble. If she lost this opportunity, she feared she would never find another one. The punishment from Feng Yu for failing this mission was secondary; if she couldn't push An Mi into an abyss of no return, she would never be at peace for the rest of her life!
