Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

As for Yang Huan, Ling Yan had already sent Mu Feng to deliver the booklet to him early in the morning.

Yang Huan was overjoyed and absorbed this knowledge day and night.

He then disguised himself again, using the alias Wang Huanzhi, and went to inspect the shop with Mu Feng.

The shopkeeper and his staff saw that it was Mu Feng who had personally led the group.

They were all very sensible, understanding that this young master Wang would be the head manager of all their shops from now on.

So they all smiled and cooperated fully to start working with him.

After listening to Mu Feng's report, Ling Yan thought to herself: I didn't expect him to be so well prepared, he even learned how to disguise himself.

They truly made every possible preparation.

Indeed, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

………………

Meanwhile, when the fourth prince returned from court, he heard from his princess that his sixth brother had sent a gift of thanks.

It was still a very valuable thank-you gift.

But Xiao Muyao still felt that the gift was too small to repay his kindness.

He even wrote a letter saying that he would go through fire and water for him in the future, without hesitation.

The fourth prince was filled with mixed emotions at this moment.

For many years, he and his sixth brother were both brothers and rivals.

But to my surprise, he treated him with such sincerity.

Before his sixth brother was born, he was the most intelligent and the most favored by his father among all the princes.

He was even personally raised by his father, the emperor, and was the most outstanding and talented prince among his brothers and sisters.

His mother, Consort Li, was also his father's most favored concubine.

For a time, he was the center of attention, enjoying unparalleled popularity.

But all of this changed after the birth of the sixth brother.

He was the eldest son, of higher status and more talented than him.

He was loved by everyone; everyone was better than him in terms of ability, talent, and hard work.

No matter what class he was in, he was always the best and the most outstanding among his brothers, which made him seem insignificant.

Even the Emperor's praise shifted from him to his sixth brother, offering only a few words of praise to him.

These were all his past glories, but now they have all been transferred to his sixth brother.

He was unwilling, but he didn't resent his sixth brother, because he knew that his sixth brother was so capable and must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.

So he worked much harder than him, a thousand times harder, just to surpass him.

When he finally became his equal, his father began to praise him as before, and his teachers also began to praise him. He finally felt that he had surpassed him.

But everyone still felt that the sixth brother was more capable than him and more suitable to be the next emperor.

Even so, his father never made him the crown prince.

Therefore, he felt that his father had not yet made up his mind, so he definitely had hope and he still had a chance to compete.

But his struggles were open and aboveboard; he did not engage in any underhanded or malicious acts, nor did he harbor any ill intentions towards any of his brothers.

He simply wanted to surpass him with his own abilities, so that his father would think he was the most capable, outstanding, and most suitable prince to inherit the throne. He had no intention of targeting the other princes.

Commonly known as: rolling oneself up.

Isn't that ridiculous?

The struggle for the throne was extremely dangerous, yet he maintained his gentlemanly conduct.

Even though he knew perfectly well that his sixth brother was his greatest rival, he still went to help Yang Huan without hesitation when Yang Huan asked for his help last night.

Because he despises and disdains the ways of petty people.

Even if they were to fight, they would not resort to despicable and shameless acts.

Looking at her husband's complicated expression, the Fourth Prince's wife, Lady Zeng, asked softly, "What is Your Highness thinking about?"

The fourth prince, Prince Su, replied with a smile, "It's nothing, just a bit of sentimentality."

After saying that, he asked with concern, "Did the child cause you any trouble today?"

Mrs. Zeng smiled gently, lowered her head and stroked her already protruding belly, replying, "You were very good today, you didn't kick me."

Upon hearing this, the fourth prince's eyes were filled with tenderness.

Gently holding Zeng's hand, he said affectionately, "You have borne my children and endured so much hardship. You have suffered so much."

Madam Zeng gently shook her head, her eyes sparkling with happiness: "It is my honor to bear children for the Prince. Moreover, the Prince is the love of my heart. I am overjoyed and happy to continue your bloodline."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince felt an indescribable surge of emotion.

He held her tightly in his arms and whispered, "With you as my wife, what more could I ask for in this life?"

………………

A gentle breeze stirs the waves, scattering them like stars across the river.

The night was as still as water, and the crescent moon hung like a hook.

Xiao Muyao sent a message during the day, asking He Jingchuan and Lu Yanqing to come to the Prince's Mansion for a chat that evening.

The letter did not say anything.

After arriving at Prince Rui's residence under the cover of night, Xiao Muyao told them about what happened the previous night.

Upon hearing this, the two were immediately enraged.

His eyes were instantly ignited with anger, like two burning fireballs, ready to incinerate everything in front of him.

His hands were clenched into fists so tightly that his knuckles turned a pale white.

Both of them simultaneously forced out a few words through gritted teeth: "I'm going to kill him!"

His voice was deep and hoarse, yet it carried a chilling murderous intent, exuding a dangerous and deadly aura.

Xiao Muyao could understand their thoughts, and how could he not be angry!

However, Yan'er already had her own plan, so he advised the two of them, "Calm down. Yan'er has already figured out how to deal with him. Don't ruin it."

He Jingchuan and Lu Yanqing then forced themselves to calm down.

The two recalled the story they had heard during the day, and realized it must have been her doing.

Xiao Muyao then gestured for the two to take their seats.

The two had just taken their seats.

Ling Yan then stepped into the room.

She just went to see Yunmeng, which took up a little time.

Upon seeing Ling Yan, He Jingchuan and Lu Yanqing immediately got up and rushed to her side.

Both of them looked at her with concern.

Ling Yan smiled and reassured them, "I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, the two looked her over carefully again, and only after confirming that she was safe and sound did they feel relieved.

The three then sat down again.

Lingyan then asked Lu Yanqing, "Has His Majesty made any moves today?"

Lu Yanqing replied, "Yes, His Majesty has ordered the Shadow Division to secretly investigate Consort Rong and the Tenth Prince."

Ling Yan gave a cold laugh.

He then asked, "Then you should investigate thoroughly. There's no need to deliberately fabricate crimes against them. In any case, what Consort Rong has done over the years is enough for His Majesty to order her to die. As for the Tenth Prince, as long as he doesn't rebel or commit regicide, His Majesty won't take his life no matter how serious his other crimes are."

Lu Yanqing asked curiously, "I understand. So what are your plans next?"

He Jingchuan also looked at her, wanting to know her plans.

Xiao Muyao already knew.

Lingyan chuckled and said, "Given His Majesty's love for his son, he will send the Tenth Prince far away from the capital. So, on the way, we can create the illusion that he has an accident and both of his legs have been broken, and that he has been poisoned. This poison will not kill him, but will only make him suffer every day as if he were in a living hell. Once he has suffered enough, we can let him die a quick death."

He Jingchuan and Lu Yanqing had no objections after hearing this; this method of revenge clearly appealed to both of them, as well as to Xiao Muyao.

And so the matter was settled.

Lingyan then looked at the three of them and instructed them, "Keep an eye on Consort Rong's movements during this time. She won't just sit here and wait to die; she'll definitely take action."

The three nodded in agreement.

They will not let this woman escape this ordeal.
