The Flourishing Era of Female Merchants

Granny Li pondered this, feeling quite pleased with herself.

"But..." The woman was still somewhat uneasy, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Granny Li.

Granny Li lowered her voice, her tone becoming stern, "Alright, Bi Keke, remember this is something the Empress Dowager instructed you to do. If you don't do it well, not only will you not become the Princess Consort of Bohai, but you might also lose your life. Think it over carefully."

Upon hearing this, the woman trembled, filled with fear, knowing she had no other choice but to go.

Princess of Bohai?

That was something she never dared to dream of in her life, but now it had happened to her. Could it be that heaven was truly looking out for her?

Gradually, she suppressed her unease and fear, and a sense of anticipation grew within her. The Princess of Bohai? Although the future was uncertain, it wouldn't be a bad thing to strive for it, would it?

"Aunt, what kind of person is the King of Bohai?" The woman frowned and asked softly.

Li Mama's eyes lit up. "Heh, what kind of person is the Prince of Bohai? You didn't see it, but among the Emperor's sons, the eldest prince Qinglan and the Prince of Bohai Baiyi are the most handsome, equally so. However, the Prince of Bohai's power is not to be underestimated, and the Emperor values ​​him highly. If it weren't for the rules of the royal family, the Prince of Bohai might have become the Emperor."

"Oh? Is that so?" The woman's heart trembled even more. The King of Bohai?

Tomorrow? Will she become the Princess Consort of Bohai tomorrow?

She was afraid, but she hoped tomorrow would come soon.

The Bohai Prince's Mansion had been well-prepared for the past few days. The entire mansion had been meticulously decorated, with festive red silks everywhere. Even at night, the brightly lit Bohai Prince's Mansion still exuded the joy of being adorned with red silks.

"Uncle, when is Mother coming back?"

Even though it was late at night, Liu'er couldn't fall asleep. She hadn't seen her mother for days, not even when she went to her mother's courtyard. Liu'er was starting to panic. Grandpa Ji said that her mother had gone to the palace, but when would she be able to return? She missed her mother so much!

Bai Yi looked at the double happiness character posted in the courtyard, a deep look appearing in his eyes. "Tomorrow, Mother will be back tomorrow."

"Really?" Liu'er was delighted, and her voice became brighter, filled with joy.

"Yes, Liu'er, go back to your room and rest early. When you wake up tomorrow, you will be able to see your mother." Bai Yi held Liu'er's little hand, a smile playing on his lips, and said softly.

Liu'er nodded, and took the hand of the maid beside her with her other hand, "Liu'er will go back to her room to rest now."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards her own courtyard. After taking a few steps, as if she remembered something, Liu'er paused, stopped, and looked back at Bai Yi. Her bright eyes blinked slightly, "Tomorrow, Uncle is going to marry Mother?"

“Yes.” Bai Yi’s smile grew even brighter, making him exceptionally charming in the night.

Upon receiving Bai Yi's reply, Liu'er's eyes shone with even greater joy, and she finally felt at ease following the maid back to her room to rest.

Watching Liu'er leave, Bai Yi's expression gradually became solemn. Even Uncle Ji, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke up, "Your Highness, Miss An Mi, she..."

Tomorrow is the wedding day, but the bride is still in the palace. Although he was being fetched from the Empress Dowager's palace, he always felt that something was amiss, as if something was about to happen.

Thinking of An Mi's question to him in the pavilion that day, Uncle Ji frowned. The Empress Dowager was deliberately trying to stop this wedding, and she probably wouldn't let the prince marry Miss An Mi so easily!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt there must be something wrong.

Bai Yi looked up at the night sky, which was in the direction of the palace. "It's time for him to make his move!"

Uncle Ji was taken aback, somewhat confused by Bai Yi's words. Who was he referring to? What was his plan?

Just as he was about to ask, Bai Yi spoke again, "Uncle Ji, get some rest. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to the palace to fetch my bride. I'll leave the rest of the household to you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the new house. It used to be An Mi's residence, but he had specially decorated it into a new house. Thinking of tomorrow, Bai Yi's eyes narrowed. Tomorrow, no one will be able to stop him from marrying Mi'er!

On a similar night, some people in the First Prince's residence were also awake.

In the study, Qinglan stared at the jade pendant on his desk for two whole hours, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

He accepted the jade pendant, only now realizing its weight. He had an unshirkable responsibility to ensure Mi'er's safety. However, accepting the jade pendant meant that he had to entrust the peaceful and safe An Mi to Bai Yi.

Would you personally hand over the woman you love to someone else?

Starting tomorrow, she will become someone else's wife!

Thinking of this, Qinglan felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in her heart, as if a needle were piercing her.

But what if we don't?

What will happen then?

If he gains peace, Bai Yi will not let him go. Not only will he lose Bai Yi's support, but he will also make Bai Yi his enemy. In this way, he will surely die without a burial place in this power struggle. How can he protect Mi'er then?

There is probably no place in this world for him and Mi'er!

Qinglan's eyes narrowed. She took the jade pendant in her hand and gently stroked it. The depth in her eyes grew even stronger. After a long silence, she finally got up, walked to the bookshelf, opened a hidden compartment, and put the jade pendant inside.

The hidden compartment door closed, and a hint of coldness seemed to appear in Qinglan's eyes. Her gaze narrowed slightly, and her deep voice rang out in the air, "Come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the study was pushed open from the outside, and ten men in black quickly entered, kneeling respectfully before Qinglan. "Your subordinates pay their respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince."

These ten men were all assassins trained by Qinglan. Even under normal circumstances, they were rarely used. Tonight, they had received orders and were waiting at the door, but the First Prince had not summoned them. They thought that the First Prince's deliberation must be for something important!

The eldest prince seemed different today. There was a moment of silence in the room. Even though he had made up his mind, he still seemed to be hesitating.

Taking a deep breath, Qinglan finally glanced at the five people on her left and then said, "This time, your mission is to intercept the bridal sedan chair that the King of Bohai is taking tomorrow morning!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback. A kidnapping of a bridal sedan chair? And the bridal sedan chair of the King of Bohai!

Thinking back to the rumors they had heard some time ago about the future Princess of Bohai, everyone suddenly realized that the rumors about the Crown Prince and the Princess of Bohai being in love with the same woman were indeed true!

But the eldest prince wants to abduct the Prince of Bohai's bride? Isn't that a huge deal?
