The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

His implication was that he had already married Sima Yan as his concubine, and An Mi was now his fiancée. There were many things that were no longer his concern.

As intelligent as Qinglan was, he naturally understood, and a deep displeasure welled up in his heart. His fists clenched suddenly, but he didn't say anything. After a long while, he finally said in a cold voice, "What is it?"

Bai Yi thought of the purpose of his visit, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp glint gradually gathered. "Is something important, or something big? Eldest brother, I wonder if Feng Yu's life holds any allure for you?"

Bai Yi looked up and met Qing Lan's gaze. He clearly saw that Qing Lan's expression was slightly taken aback, but Bai Yi could clearly catch the light that followed in his eyes. It seemed that the temptation was not just a little bit!

A silence fell over the room, the air thick with tension, as if it could be torn apart at any moment. Bai Yi smiled, though he already knew what Qing Lan's answer would be. But at this moment, he was determined to hear those words spoken by Qing Lan herself.

Qing Lan's handsome face was gloomy. Feng Yu's life? Of course he wanted it. Defeating Feng Yu would severely damage the entire Feng family. However, if taking Feng Yu's life were that simple, he wouldn't have waited until now.

Qinglan narrowed her eyes, meeting Bai Yi's gaze. Suddenly, as if realizing something, she gradually calmed down. "Why?"

Bai Yi came to him about this matter, which clearly meant that Bai Yi also wanted Feng Yu dead. He knew about the entanglement between Bai Yi and the Feng family, but why now? Why was Feng Yu the first person to come?

In Qinglan's opinion, his third brother was definitely not the kind of person who would do something for no reason!

Bai Yi raised a handsome eyebrow, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly with a deep look. "Eldest brother, just tell me, are you willing to join forces with me or not?"

Of course I'm willing!

Qinglan wasn't stupid. He knew Bai Yi's hatred for the Feng family and would never allow this matter to be joked about. Therefore, this was an opportunity, a good opportunity to join forces with Bai Yi to deal a heavy blow to Empress Feng!

Qinglan lowered her gaze slightly, and quickly made a decision. "What do you want me to do?"

Bai Yi's lips curled up. The cooperation was done. Thinking of the past and Feng Yu's ill intentions towards An Mi, Bai Yi's eyes narrowed. A sinister look flashed in his eyes. He got up from his chair, walked slowly to Qing Lan, and beckoned him to come closer. Qing Lan frowned, but still stepped forward.

The only sounds in the room were breathing and Bai Yi's low voice, but the content of his words could not be clearly heard. When Bai Yi finished speaking, Qing Lan's expression became noticeably more serious. Bai Yi noticed this but did not speak. After a long silence, Qing Lan's voice finally rang out in the room, "I know what to do."

"Then please hurry, eldest brother. We only have one night left." Bai Yi glanced at Qing Lan. "This time, Feng Yu won't have a chance to turn things around!"

Qinglan also twitched the corners of his mouth. Thinking of the plan he had just heard from Bai Yi, he couldn't help but take another look at Bai Yi. He knew that the third brother was never an easy character to deal with. This time, Feng Yu not only had no chance to turn things around, but the Feng family would probably also be implicated.

Having achieved his goal, Bai Yi didn't linger there any longer. Without even leaving a word, he left the room on his own, just as suddenly as he had appeared there. Qing Lan looked at the room where he was now alone, his gaze growing increasingly deep. However, he quickly snapped out of his reverie, his eyes flashing as he recalled what Bai Yi had just told him. He then followed him out of the room.

The next day, everything in the Bohai Prince's mansion was as orderly as usual. Early in the morning, Cheng Ying went to Shengshi Lieyan. Not long after, the Bohai Prince left with his two maids, Liuguang and Yifei. Yi Zhuxuan secretly observed all of this. Only after confirming that Uncle Ji had also left did Yi Zhuxuan put down what she was doing. However, she did not go into Anmi's room, but quietly left the Bohai Prince's mansion through the back door. Today was the last day of the deadline, and Anmi had already taken the bait. She had to inform General Feng to prepare. Not only that, she also wanted to show Feng Yu that she, Yi Zhuxuan, never failed in anything she set out to do.

At this moment, she was unaware that from the moment she left the Bohai Prince's Mansion, her whereabouts had been in the hands of others.

Inside the Bohai Prince's residence, An Mi sat by the window, leisurely sipping tea. Even while waiting, she showed no impatience. She knew that Yi Zhuxuan was determined to have ill intentions towards her, so what she was waiting for would not be in vain. Sure enough, the door was pushed open, and light footsteps sounded for a while before stopping behind An Mi. It was Liu Guang, who had left the residence with the Bohai Prince that morning.

Liu Guang glanced at An Mi and reported, "Miss, Yi Zhuxuan has already left the palace. It seems she's gone to inform Feng Yu."

An Mi listened but continued to drink her tea without saying anything. Now that Yi Zhuxuan had left the palace, it seemed that what she had planned last night was about to begin.

Thinking of the villagers who had perished in the widow's village, An Mi tightened her grip on the teacup, causing ripples to spread across the water. Liu Guang saw this and stood there silently, not daring to utter a sound, awaiting An Mi's instructions.

After a long while, An Mi's expression slowly relaxed, but the tension in the air remained unchanged. She asked in a deep voice, "Have everything been arranged with the Prince?"

"His Highness assures Miss that everything is under control." Liu Guang paused slightly, relaying the prince's earlier instructions to An Mi. He thought to himself, "His Highness truly understands Miss. He probably knew she would ask, so he gave these instructions in advance." Thinking of the prince's whereabouts, Liu Guang frowned slightly. He only saw the prince enter the palace as usual today. Apart from leaving the residence for a while overnight, he didn't do anything else. No one knew where the prince went or what he did, let alone what he was planning. However, Liu Guang knew that he only needed to follow the prince's instructions.

An Mi's lips curled up slightly. In fact, even she didn't know what Bai Yi wanted to do. However, since he said that everything was under control, then there wouldn't be much of a deviation.

"Miss Zhuxuan..." Another maid's voice came from outside the room, followed by Yi Zhuxuan's voice, which sounded very cheerful.

Inside the room, Liu Guang was startled, but An Mi remained calm. She gave Liu Guang a wink, and Liu Guang understood. She quickly slipped into the curtain separating the inner and outer rooms, and the next moment, the sound of the door opening came from inside.

"Miss..." Yi Zhuxuan saw An Mi sitting by the window with her back to her, a cruel smile flashed across her lips, but it quickly disappeared. She quickly walked towards An Mi, "Miss, are you feeling better today?"
