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

With her gaze fixed on Qiu Lingyu, Jian Yue smiled slightly and continued softly, "Judging from your appearance, I can tell that you are a very clever and intelligent person. How could you have come here with the young master and made such a fool of yourself? You even delayed the important matter of my Crown Prince's marriage proposal."

Bai Jianan suddenly sneered: "Your Highness? You call me that so affectionately. What? You think you've found a powerful backer and don't respect me anymore? Well then, today, I'll show you what a real playboy is."

As he spoke, Bai Jianan suddenly rushed towards Jian Yue, wanting to forcefully remove the veil from her face, but just as he made his move, Qiu Lingyu moved.

With a single movement, she was already in front of Jian Yue, smiled slightly at her, then turned to Bai Jianan and said, "Young Master, you should return to the manor. The Princess Consort must be missing you."

Upon seeing this, Murong Chuan immediately became furious and said, "Bai Jianan, there should be a limit to your nonsense. Stop now, or I will punish you. If my women are to be seen by others, what will become of my reputation?"

As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Qiu Lingyu. Qiu Lingyu lowered her eyes and smiled, without saying a word. But even so, Murong Chuan was now certain that she was the one he had met in his childhood.

But now...

Bai Jianan paused, abruptly withdrawing his outstretched hand, his eyes filled with furious killing intent, but he didn't strike. Qiu Lingyu smiled at him, then turned to Jian Yue and said, "Miss, there's no need to be angry. My young master was just a little impulsive and meant no harm."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Sister, what are you saying? How could I, a mere servant, be angry with the young master? I only did this to prevent my lord from losing face."

"It's your prince again!" Bai Jianan clenched his fists, trying to suppress the anger in his chest. However, the pain in his chest became more unbearable as his anger rose. His cheeks were slightly red and sweaty, but he still glared angrily at Jian Yue.

Jian Yue seemed not to notice him and continued talking to Qiu Lingyu. After hearing her finish speaking, Qiu Lingyu smiled and said, "I admire your magnanimity, young lady. It is fate that we met today. I will take the liberty of calling you my sister. If we meet again in the future, we can be considered sisters and help and support each other."

Jian Yue was taken aback, and then Qiu Lingyu continued, "Everything in this world has its own logic. No matter what domineering or arrogant words someone says, or what their status is, what is not yours is yours, and what is not yours is not yours. No one can take it away, and no one can change it."

Jian Yue's eyes flickered, and she nodded, saying, "Yes, sister is right. Whether we fight for it or not, what is mine will be mine, and even if we don't fight for it, I won't lose it. So, I will continue to do my best and protect the people I want to protect in my own way. However, I will never let go of those who have violated or insulted me."

Their unique dialogue seems to be understood only by the two of them. From the moment they first met, a tacit understanding unique to twins arose spontaneously. With just a glance, the two could understand each other's thoughts.

For others, however, these words are interpreted differently.

Bai Jianan's mind was still on Jian Yue's repeated calls of "My Highness," so he didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the two, but Murong Chuan was listening attentively.

Qiu Lingyu's words, when heard, were clearly an angry protest after being replaced, while Jian Yue was forcefully defending herself. It was obvious that the two of them were at war because of Murong Chuan.

Jian Yue was somewhat surprised by Bai Jianan's reaction. Hadn't he said that he had already forgotten everything? And that he had even regarded that annoying Heli Hong as the love of his life, so why was he still acting like a jealous husband?

She looked at Bai Jianan with a completely calm and composed expression, as if she really didn't know him. This only intensified Bai Jianan's jealousy, and he couldn't stop feeling sour.

He immediately said in an annoyed tone, "So you say you won't let it go? Well, this young master is going to make sure you don't let it go right now, what are you going to do about it?"

Jian Yue looked at Bai Jianan, who immediately puffed out his chest and raised his head, like a rooster waiting for its master's praise after Yang Dou's victory.

Jian Yue smiled, inwardly complaining, and said, "If Your Highness really wants to see my face, all you need is His Highness's consent. After all, am I His Highness's person?"

"Your Highness" is utter nonsense; you clearly belong to my family.

Bai Jianan finally crumbled under the onslaught of these two sentences. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Jian Yue's wrist. Jian Yue's expression remained unchanged, but Qiu Lingyu frowned and said, "Young Master, you mustn't."

Seeing this, Murong Chuan also said, "Bai Jianan, do you think this is your mansion? She is not one of yours."

Bai Jianan stared coldly at Jian Yue, his eyes blazing with fury like a volcano constantly churning. But Jian Yue remained unmoved, like a calm and deep Dead Sea at the center of the volcano, no matter how much the volcano raged.

Seeing that Bai Jianan wouldn't let go, Qiu Lingyu had no choice but to say softly, "What does Your Highness mean by this? Could it be that you've seen my sister today and have grown tired of her, no longer wanting me?"

Qiu Lingyu's accusations seemed to put a stop button on Bai Jianan. Bai Jianan's face suddenly turned ashen, and he tightened his grip on Jian Yue's hand. His gaze towards Jian Yue became ferocious, but the deep affection in his eyes was impossible to ignore.

But Bai Jianan was truly terrifying at this moment. His veins were bulging, as if they were about to burst out of his body at any moment, which made Jian Yue's heart pound with fear. Jian Yue was stunned at first, then her face paled with shock. She quickly looked at Qiu Lingyu and said, "Take him away quickly."

Qiu Lingyu nodded, her hands already moving. She grabbed Bai Jianan's hand and forcefully pulled it off Jian Yue's arm, saying softly and sadly, "Young Master, what's wrong with you? Have you fallen ill again? Let's hurry back to the manor and have a doctor take a look."

"Your Highness, my young master is unwell and will not disturb you any longer. Your Highness should hurry to the Prime Minister's residence to avoid being late and causing any problems."

With a bitter remark, Qiu Lingyu pulled Bai Jianan into her carriage and drove away, leaving behind Jian Yue, who was filled with worry, and Murong Chuan, whose eyes shone like stars.

Xiangfu.

Yue Leyun had been hoping for Murong Chuan's appearance ever since she received the imperial decree. Earlier, a scout reported that Murong Chuan had already set off, but at this moment, the area in front of the Prime Minister's residence remained calm, and there was no sign of Murong Chuan at all.

As Yue Leyun waited and waited, her expression darkened. Seeing this, the Prime Minister sitting next to her took a sip of his tea and said, "If you're feeling wronged, why do you insist on marrying him? Right now, the Crown Prince's reputation isn't very good."

According to him, he did not want his daughter to marry Murong Chuan. Putting aside whether Murong Chuan could secure his position as crown prince, none of the things Murong Chuan had done were honorable. Now, he had even brought the woman who assassinated the general's daughter back to his residence.

Although Yue Leyun's analysis of the matter had convinced him to some extent, he still hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so how could he truly believe anyone else? He was also a loving father who cared deeply for his children, and naturally didn't want his daughter to suffer any injustice.

But Yue Leyun was determined to marry Murong Chuan, so the Prime Minister reluctantly nodded when the Emperor mentioned it.

Seeing that Yue Leyun was in a bad mood, he became even more disgusted with Murong Chuan's character. Upon hearing this, Yue Leyun immediately shook her head and said, "Father, you are being too serious. I am not feeling wronged, but just worried. His Highness is a man of his word. How could he break his promise? He must have been delayed by something."

The Prime Minister sneered: "Delay? Could it be that he's been entangled with some woman again? Wasn't it said that he had a woman of interest in his carriage? Proposing marriage, huh? What a grand display. Does he really think I'm some kind of cauliflower that he can just tear apart at will?"

Yue Leyun wanted to comfort her father, but at that moment she heard someone outside the door shout that the Crown Prince had arrived. Immediately, her face lit up with joy, and she rushed out, completely abandoning any semblance of a woman's modesty.

Upon seeing this, the Prime Minister shook his head and sighed, "How naive! Which man isn't a womanizer? Especially those in the royal family."

Yue Leyun ran to the gate and saw Jian Yue getting out of the car. Murong Chuan was standing at the gate with a blank face. His expression softened slightly when he saw her arrive.

She stepped forward with a beaming smile, trying to close her mouth, which was brimming with joy, and said, "You've finally come. I've been waiting for you for so long."

Murong Chuan smiled slightly, stepped forward, took her hand and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. How could I not come? There was just a small mishap on the way, which caused the delay. I apologize, Geni."

Yue Leyun smiled and shook her head, saying, "Your Highness is too kind. It is already a great blessing for me to come here in person. How can you be so petty?"

As she spoke, she looked at Jian Yue and smiled, "I didn't expect my sister to come back today. I'm sorry to have made her laugh."

After Yue Leyun finished speaking, Jian Yue smiled slightly at her, her stunning beauty adding to her charm and overshadowing Yue Leyun's beauty, making Yue Leyun's expression slightly unpleasant.

However, like Murong Chuan, in public she was as noble as a princess, compassionate and kind to all living beings, but in reality, she was a witch and executioner in the guise of a princess.

After Jian Yue finished laughing, Yue Leyun continued to laugh, "You forgot? My sister's voice isn't good, so she can't speak. Oh well, there's nothing much to say here anyway. His Highness will be talking to Father in a little while, so we'll go back to my room and chat. You won't be afraid to speak there."

Jian Yue was extremely grateful for Yue Leyun's thoughtfulness and kept nodding. Then she wrote in Yue Leyun's palm: "The things I encountered on the road were strange, and I wanted to tell you about them."
