The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

In addition, Yue Leyun is also paying close attention to this matter.

When Yue Leyun first received the news, she was genuinely stunned. Then she realized that it was full of loopholes and rather strange.

Murong Chuan has been able to remain in the position of Crown Prince for many years and still manage to avoid any faults from the court officials. He must be no ordinary person. How could he lose his composure because of a woman?

Especially considering what happened that day, Qiu Lingfeng had already lost her virginity. Even if Murong Chuan were a fool, he would never marry a woman who would ruin his reputation.

She was a smart woman, so she immediately understood that this was a scheme devised by someone unwilling to be sentenced to death, forcing Murong Chuan to take action.

If that's the case, how could she allow other women to hold her man?

Yue Leyun smiled and said to her trusted maid Hongfeng, "In that case, let's go and offer our help to the Crown Prince's residence."

Heri Hong lowered her eyes, giving a seemingly shy smile, but in reality, she was already sneering inwardly.

Murong Chuan hadn't actually gone anywhere. He was in the study of the Crown Prince's residence, sitting at his desk with his brows furrowed in deep thought.

His actions today not only left everyone sighing with regret, but also shocked himself.

In the past, he would never have made such a hasty move. It was just a woman; he could simply take her. Even if he didn't marry her, what difference would it make? Who would know in the dungeon?

This impulsive act today is completely unlike him, yet he did it anyway. Now, it's too late for regrets; he's determined to marry Qiu Lingfeng.

Moreover, yesterday's events were somewhat strange, forcing him to think deeply and observe carefully.

Qiu Lingfeng and Sun Shixin's affair that day was definitely successful, but yesterday when they were together, Qiu Lingfeng clearly bled. What exactly happened? How could Qiu Lingfeng fake it and make it look so real?

And what happened yesterday was so natural and smooth that even he himself felt a sense of bewilderment. He was not usually a lustful person, so why couldn't he control himself that night and wanted to pull her down and cherish her?

Everything seemed amiss. Murong Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous smile.

Five days later, the heir of Qingyan Marquis was married at the Princess's residence. Heli Hong sat in the bridal sedan chair, her whole being radiating joy. The thing she had been looking forward to for so long was finally about to come true. She no longer had to watch from afar and silently accompany him.

The bright red sedan chair swayed back and forth, and the deafening sound of the suona horn played a festive tune again and again. Red silk ribbons all over the street came into view through the gaps in the sedan chair's curtains. Everything had settled down.

"The bridal sedan chair has arrived! The groom is pressing down on it!"

The eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice, and the bridal sedan chair was pressed down by a pair of strong hands. Then, the curtain was lifted, and Heli Hong looked up and saw the face she had been longing for.

"My wife, I've come to pick you up."

One sentence brought tears to Heli Hong's eyes. Before everyone's eyes, Bai Jianan was still wearing a mask, but his eyes, which were exposed, were full of affection and staring at her with focused and serious eyes.

Herri Hong's eyes welled up with tears, and all her unspoken words were reduced to a soft reply. Then, one side of the red floral silk was placed into her palm, while the other side was held in Bai Jianan's hand.

Bai Jianan led Heli Hong towards the door, saying gently as they walked, "Hong'er, I've waited ten years for this moment. Today, my dream has finally come true. I will never leave you."

Hearing this, Helihong lowered her eyes shyly and said, "I have also waited for ten years. From today onwards, you are finally my husband. Husband, we will be happy for the rest of our lives."

"The Crown Prince has arrived!"

Before the two even entered the gate, they heard a loud shout, followed by the clatter of hooves. Bai Jianan Heli Hong looked in the direction of the sound and saw Murong Chuan's horse galloping up in front of them. With a quick leap, he jumped off the horse.

"Bai Jianan, hand over the imperial criminal Shangguan Hanque."

Bai Jianan frowned slightly and said unhappily, "What do you mean by this, Prince? Today is my wedding day, yet you come to me asking about the court's invasion and deliberately trying to sabotage my wedding. This is not very ethical."

Murong Chuan sneered: "Enough nonsense. Your wedding today was just a cover for Shangguan Hanque's entry into the capital, wasn't it? Now, he's lurking in this princess's residence. If he doesn't come to you, who else can he come to?"

Bai Jianan was taken aback: "How is that possible? Although I like to make many friends, I really don't have anyone named Shangguan Hanque around me. Your Highness, you can't just accuse someone for no reason."

"Why would I frame you? You can't deny it. After the General's Mansion was deserted, I sent more people to the vicinity. I also released people from your Princess Mansion. I personally saw Shangguan Hanque enter your Princess Mansion. If you don't admit it, then I will search it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan was immediately enraged and stepped forward, sneering, "Want to make a move? You'll have to see if I, the Crown Prince, will allow it. Murong Chuan, aren't you the Crown Prince? Don't forget, the Emperor has more than just you as a son. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you should understand who you should offend and who you shouldn't offend."

Murong Chuan sneered: "I came openly and honestly, how could I say that I deliberately offended you? Bai Jianan, I said long ago that you are not a good match, but Jian Yue insisted on her own way and now she has lost her life. I feel sorry for her."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan was taken aback, and then said, "What does her death have to do with me? She's just a lowly woman who doesn't uphold traditional virtues and flirts with other men. Why should I pity her?"

"Murong Chuan, don't tell me, you were one of this woman's lovers too! If that's true, then you're lucky you died, otherwise, my head would be completely green with envy."

After Bai Jianan finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and then his whole body felt as if it had been blown by a cold wind, making him feel chilly.

He paused slightly, a look of bewilderment on his face, before returning to his usual calm.

Beside him, Heli Hong's face was deathly pale, and his hands were trembling slightly.

She didn't understand why, at this moment, the Gu worms in Bai Jianan's body suddenly went berserk. If she hadn't suppressed them with all her might, Bai Jianan would probably have already woken up by now.

No, we can't let Murong Chuan provoke him any further. The Golden Cicada Gu hasn't been brought over yet, and the Gu worms in Bai Jianan's body can't be harmed. Otherwise, all her plans will be for naught.

But why exactly did Murong Chuan come to cause trouble?

"Your Highness, what you said is really inappropriate. Only I know what kind of person my young master is. Why would Your Highness want to slap such a big label on my young master just to arrest someone?"

"We, husband and wife, would never say anything about catching traitors. Well, today is our joyous day, and the Crown Prince just happened to arrive at the exact moment we were about to enter the Princess's residence. How could we not be suspicious?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Chuan sneered, "My cousin is celebrating his birthday today, and I originally intended to come and offer my congratulations. However, I suddenly heard from the guards that at 1:15 AM this morning, Shangguan Hanque disguised himself and entered the city from outside. He went straight to the Princess's residence and has not come out since."

I also thought that today was my cousin's big day and I shouldn't have any bad luck, but then I thought about the relationship between Shangguan Hanque and my cousin, so I felt that this matter was really a bit strange, which is why I came to question him.

"Miko, I think you should also consider this carefully, otherwise, it might cause more trouble."

Heri narrowed his eyes, a hint of doubt creeping into his mind.

Murong Chuan was right. Although Bai Jianan was currently under her control, if Shangguan Hanque was really hiding in the mansion, it would definitely affect her control over Bai Jianan.

Thinking about it, she suddenly smiled and turned to Bai Jianan, saying, "Husband, since the Crown Prince has made such a polite request, it would be unreasonable for us not to cooperate. In that case, let's go along with the Crown Prince's wishes and let him take a look at the Princess's residence."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan looked displeased, feeling that something was amiss. However, no matter how he thought about it, all he could think about was unconditionally agreeing to all of Heli Hong's requests.

“Alright, if what you say is the first one, then let’s rest outside for a bit. After he’s finished inspecting it, we’ll have someone tidy it up again before we go in for the wedding ceremony.”

Seeing the two gazing lovingly at each other, Murong Chuan snorted coldly and led his men toward the gate of the Princess's residence. As he passed Bai Jianan, his eyes caught a glimpse of something, and he was startled, looking at the crowd to Bai Jianan's right.

In the crowd, a familiar face appeared before him, looking at Bai Jianan with resentful eyes. It was Shangguan Jianyue.

Murong Chuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "The witch is indeed reasonable. In that case, I will not go in myself, but stay outside with you, so as not to be criticized for our brothers not getting along."

Bai Jianan tilted his head and said sarcastically, "We're not on good terms to begin with, why are you trying to play along?"

Murong Chuan remained noncommittal and walked step by step toward the crowd. Shan Guanjianyue seemed to sense the movement, looked at Murong Chuan, and then quickly retreated, hiding in the crowd. Before long, she disappeared.

Seeing this, Murong Chuan frowned and then saw Jian Yue leave alone, silently walking towards an empty alley.

He pondered for a moment, then looked up and saw that everyone who had entered the mansion had already withdrawn and was shaking their heads at him. Murong Chuan immediately looked at Bai Jianan, cupped his fists, and said, "I apologize for disturbing you."

After saying that, he left quickly without looking back.

Bai Jianan scoffed, "This kind of person won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin; he can't bring himself to do it even if he can't find the answer. I think even if he became emperor, he certainly wouldn't achieve anything."

Helihong smiled and nodded: "What you say is true, my lord. But they are just a rabble and cannot be compared to you. The kingdom of Yue is destined to belong to you."

"Of course, who told me to have such a good wife?"
