Actually, when Yuan Yanran rejected him, he had considered that drastic measure and wished he could eliminate everyone who was in his way.

But once he calmed down a bit, he found it difficult to do.

He can talk to anyone else, but those women in his backyard are all his women.

To avoid the scandal of "having illegitimate children born before having a principal wife," his women had been taking contraceptives for many years. There were a few unexpected pregnancies, but they were all resolved quickly.

He liked all of these women and seemed to have gotten used to their presence. The one who had been with him the longest had been with him for several years.

Originally, he planned to give the positions of several concubines to them after he had a principal wife, and even after he inherited the throne, they would all have the position of concubine.

But now he was asked to get rid of them, and he felt a little reluctant.

No matter what, they were all women who had shared a bed with him. Over the years, they had been there to keep him company through countless lonely and difficult nights.

Seeing that Luo Qianhao was still hesitating, Empress Qin's voice became colder.

"Hao'er, don't be foolish. To achieve great things, any sacrifice is worthwhile. Once you ascend the throne, what kind of woman won't you have? At that time, the whole world will be yours, everything will be yours! Don't make a grave mistake because of your womanly kindness! Your mother has only one request, and that is that you must win Yuan Yanran's heart. Think about it carefully these next few days, and just focus on this matter. Leave everything else to your mother."

Luo Qianhao's heart pounded, and he seemed to have finally made up his mind.

Even after Luo Qianhao left, Empress Qin's expression remained unchanged.

She sat quietly for a long time, and after a long while, a glint flashed in her eyes as she remembered someone.

So much has happened these past few days that she's been quite overwhelmed.

But she never forgot that her greatest enemy was Luo Qianmo.

In the past, she could tolerate his presence, but now, he is like a thorn in her flesh, making her unable to tolerate him at all.

If we don't teach this brat a lesson soon, I'm afraid everything will become a foregone conclusion.

By then, it will be too late to do anything.

Empress Qin slowly walked to the bedside, lifted the quilt, and gently tapped three times on a spot on the bed board.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

The bed board she was tapping on seemed to have a mechanism; suddenly, a five-foot-wide wooden board sank in, separating the originally one-piece bed board.

Empress Qin took out a black wooden box from it. The box looked like it hadn't been touched in a long time, hidden in such a secret place, and covered with a thick layer of dust.

Empress Qin wiped the dust off the wooden box, opened it, and the contents were revealed.

It was a piece of paper that looked no different from ordinary white paper, but in the lower right corner of the paper, there was a ghost face about the size of a thumbprint, as if it were stamped.

The demon's face was ferocious and lifelike, with a pair of fangs that gleamed with a dark light, seemingly capable of transforming into the most vicious weapon to pierce someone's chest.

Then, Empress Qin found a black medicine bottle. As soon as the bottle was opened, a foul stench immediately wafted out.

She suppressed the urge to vomit, held her breath, and dipped the calligraphy brush in the medicine bottle.

After dipping her pen into the foul-smelling liquid, she immediately began writing words on the paper.

The words were a blood-red color, as if they were written with filthy blood. But after Empress Qin finished writing, the words that had been so vivid on the paper suddenly disappeared, along with the strong stench, as if they had never existed.

Empress Qin immediately folded the paper, put it in an envelope, and then put it in several layers of envelopes, sealing each one tightly, for fear that the contents would be seen by someone who shouldn't see them.

After doing all this, Empress Qin immediately summoned Eunuch Quan and asked him to send the letter out of the palace to her father and brothers.

That day, Fang Qingyou had just returned to the manor not long ago when a servant came to report that Luo Qianmo had arrived.

Fang Qingyou couldn't help but feel nervous. Emperor Mingde and Luo Qianmo and his son must have talked today, but what was the result?

She could vaguely guess the outcome, but without hearing it with her own ears, she still harbored a lingering, hopeful expectation.

Luo Qianmo was a male guest. Fang Qingyou was about to go out to the outer courtyard to greet him, but as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw Luo Qianmo walking towards her courtyard.

His lips twitched involuntarily. How did Luo Qianmo end up in the inner courtyard?

However, Fang Xing'an was more outrageous, actually allowing Luo Qianmo to come to the backyard of the Fang residence.

The women in this backyard are all his women, how could he let Luo Qianmo come here?

This old scumbag has no shame whatsoever when it comes to wealth and status.

"Miss Fang, what's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me?" Luo Qianmo's face was usually sullen, but his mood would inexplicably improve whenever he saw Fang Qingyou.

"No, I just haven't had time to get to the outer courtyard yet."

"What are you doing in the outer courtyard? Isn't this your courtyard? Let's talk inside."

Fang Qingyou rolled her eyes speechlessly. Was her courtyard a place for entertaining male guests?

If this gets out, will she still have a good reputation?

Although her reputation is already as bad as it gets because of Luo Qianmo, she should at least be more careful.

Seeing Fang Qingyou's appearance, Luo Qianmo couldn't help but smile.

Actually, he was just in a bad mood, which is why he wanted to see Fang Qingyou. No matter where she was, he would go there.

Let alone the backyard of the Fang family mansion, even a dragon's den or a tiger's lair couldn't hold him back.

However, looking back now, it seems there was an additional benefit to doing so.

After today, I'm afraid no one will dare to want Fang Qingyou anymore, so he'll have no choice but to reluctantly marry her.

“Eighth Prince, I think we should go to the outer courtyard. They have plenty of tea and snacks there, so I won’t be afraid of neglecting you, my distinguished guest.” Fang Qingyou felt that Luo Qianmo’s smile had a wicked and mischievous quality, and she didn’t dare to let him into her courtyard.

When this man shows these kinds of smiles, someone is usually in for a bad time.

It's obvious that she's the one who's going to suffer a terrible fate.

"Guests are guests. Since Miss Fang has said I am a distinguished guest, shouldn't we follow the guest's lead?" Luo Qianmo's lips curled up even more, and he took a few long strides to reach Fang Qingyou's courtyard.

With a long stride, he stepped into her courtyard.

Fang Qingyou: "..."

Shouldn't it be a matter of the guest following the host's lead?
