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

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling aura. The golden-armored guards had no choice but to retreat. Just as the door was closing, Jian Yue suddenly smiled and said, "You might as well tell Murong Chuan about this. That way, I can leave this place on the charge of having a secret rendezvous with my lover."

The golden-armored guard paused, said nothing, closed the door, and left. Outside the door, the figure quickly disappeared until there was no one left.

At this moment, Jian Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then stumbled and almost fell.

At her waist, a pair of strong hands supported her. She swayed, and in an instant, those hands placed her on the bed. Then, the person put a pill into her mouth and scolded, "You lost the first battle."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue glanced at Hei Feng and suddenly laughed, "Yes, now you're smug, aren't you! I lost, so the Ironclad Soldiers have chosen their true leader and can make a comeback."

Upon hearing this, Black Wind frowned and rebuked, "An army driven by desperation is bound to be defeated. In your current state, you might as well withdraw now."

"Withdraw? Is it too late? From the moment we were chosen to separate, I've had no way out, haven't I? And you were the ones who chose this path for us. Now you want me to withdraw? Do you really think I can?"

Jian Yue smiled at Hei Feng, and her forced smile made his heart ache. After a long while, he suddenly said, "If you really don't want to continue, I can help you."

"Help me? Master, don't you think it's too late to say that now? Even if you can help me get out of this mess, do you think I'll leave now?"

"But if you continue like this, you won't win."

"Who says I can't win?"

Jian Yue suddenly looked at Hei Feng, and seeing the astonished look on his face, she suddenly smiled. Her smile was as bright as the stars in the sky, which made Hei Feng's heart skip a beat.

Jian Yue smiled and said, "I have tasted the bitterness of imprisonment, experienced the life of a beggar, tasted the suspicion of friends, accepted the betrayal of my lover, and am also going through the confrontation with my family."

So, tell me, what in this world can bring me down? And what right do you have to make me quit? Black Wind, you are not me, you cannot understand the pain and despair I am experiencing right now.

I can face my enemies with an innocent face, look at the people I hate with innocent eyes, and watch my lover and other women together with a blank expression.

Who caused all of this? You wanted me to leave, you didn't want me to get hurt, but where were you before? It's too late, too late, you know? I can't go back, I can never go back.

Jian Yue closed her eyes, no longer looking at Hei Feng, and said coldly, "You can leave now. Don't come back. Do you want to see me fight her? Then I believe that it won't be long before the two of us can begin our journey in this Crown Prince's residence. You can just watch."

Black Wind opened his mouth, as if to say, "I don't want to see you fail, I don't want to see you die, I don't want to see you continue to be sad and grieving, I don't want you to be indifferent all day long and lose your smile."

However, he opened his mouth but no sound came out. In the end, he closed his mouth and could no longer speak.

Jian Yue is right. He has no right to say it's over, because everything was his meticulous planning, and everything was brought about by him.

Standing by Jian Yue's bedside for a long time, Hei Feng took out a medicine bottle and placed it beside the bed, saying, "This is medicine to nourish your body. Your head has been damaged by the impact of the river water, and it has left a lasting problem. As for your voice, taking too much of those medicines is not good either. If you don't intend to really develop that kind of voice, you should stop taking them as soon as possible. Anyway, changing your voice is just a waste of time."

After saying that, Black Wind left silently, just as silently as it had come.

After Hei Feng left, Jian Yue opened her eyes, tears already streaming down her face. She took out the jade seal from her bosom, looked at the small characters engraved on it, and suddenly smiled, "Sister, thank you."

Qiu Lingyu returned to the princess's residence and entered through the back door. Just as she was about to go back to her room, she turned around and saw Bai Jianan suddenly appear behind her, looking at her with a gloomy face.

"What's going on, young master?"

Bai Jianan stared at Qiu Lingyu for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her arm. Qiu Lingyu frowned, endured for a while, and did not move. Then she saw Bai Jianan quickly let go and shake his head, saying, "They are indeed different."

Qiu Lingyu raised an eyebrow, and Bai Jianan, who had already turned his back to her, said, "You went to see her?"

Qiu Lingyu's eyes changed slightly, and she said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Your body can't withstand any stimulation right now, so don't think about anything else."

Bai Jianan suddenly sneered and said, "Do you think too much? Maybe, but I still have to say this: although I don't know who you are, and I don't remember who she is right now, I understand my own heart. My feelings for her are different from others."

Therefore, I always need to understand these things. You were sent by the Crown Princess, and I don't know what you really want, but I can tell you don't intend to harm her. So, I won't consider you an enemy for now. However, don't forget, this is the Princess's residence, and the Crown Princess's people are everywhere. It's always better to be careful.

After Bai Jianan finished speaking, he turned and left. Qiu Lingyu frowned and stared at his back for a long time before taking a step forward. However, after taking a few steps, she suddenly looked at the bushes on the side.

Blood was still flowing out there, and on the other side of the blood, a person holding a sword was leaning against the wall, smiling at her. On the ground, a canine was chewing on a corpse, its eyes glowing green, watching her warily.

A sudden chill ran down her spine as she saw the person leaning against the wall squinting and smiling, "Don't be afraid. There are good wolves and bad wolves. You can tell friend from foe, as long as you don't make any unnecessary movements."

Qiu Lingyu glanced at the man, then at the pair of green eyes still staring at her, and took a step back, saying, "I never expected that the young master would have such abilities. It is truly admirable."

The man shrugged and sighed, "You can't not work hard, after all, your wife is still in someone else's hands. As for you, I'm just curious about your relationship. You look the same, and apart from being twins, I really can't think of anything else."

Qiu Lingfeng smiled and said, "Congratulations, you guessed right. It's a pity there's no answer. Don't ask me why I came here. I won't tell you. As for helping out, I don't deny that she's involved. It was just something I did on the spur of the moment. So don't treat me as a friend. Maybe I came here because of her."

After saying that, Qiu Lingyu turned and left. Zang Feng squinted and stared at Qiu Lingyu's back for a long time before saying, "Twins, this is interesting."

From the bushes, a voice suddenly said, "So what? This guy smells like a wolf. My darling almost attacked him. Tsk tsk, so wild. He's really not as pleasing to the eye as my Yueyue."

Zang Feng looked towards the bushes and felt a chill. He said, "Your taste is always so bad. It would have been fine if the corpse had been moved. Why let a wolf eat here? I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight."

A wolf has entered the princess's residence, and what's more, the wolf's owner is a pervert. Zang Feng feels that it's not just him who can't sleep; probably no one in the entire residence can get a good night's rest.

"What are you afraid of? My baby doesn't have any other good points, except for this one: she doesn't eat people indiscriminately. She only eats people that I allow, so you don't have to worry about her sneaking into your bed in the middle of the night."

The sounds from the bushes disappeared, and then a pair of soft, boneless hands emerged. A figure lazily got up, sporting a neat short haircut—it was none other than Hua Xiangrong.

After she got up, she frowned and rubbed her lower back, saying, "It's really not comfortable on the ground. It's much more comfortable in the mountains. Darling, do you miss life in the mountains too?"

The wolf, called "Baby," was still eating when it heard the voice asking it a question. It backed away from the corpse, rubbed the blood from its mouth on the ground, and then approached the person, resting its head on the person's shoulder in a coquettish manner.

The man immediately said with satisfaction, "You're right, the people here aren't very good-looking. If you don't like them, then we won't eat here. When we get back, my mother will make you char siu bao."

Upon hearing this, the wolf responded with a low howl, as if it understood Hua Xiangrong's words.

The interaction between the man and the wolf sent a chill down Zang Feng's spine. He couldn't help but rub his shoulders and say, "I really don't know what kind of taste General Shangguan has, that he actually likes a female demon like you."

Hua Xiangrong raised an eyebrow and looked over, then laughed, "So what if you've taken a liking to me? I have everything I could want, what's wrong with that? It's you who's all alone, so you must be jealous of us being a couple."

As she spoke, she leaped up from the ground and said, "It's getting late. Heli Hong will be here soon, and I should go back to reunite with my husband. You can just stay by Bai Jianan's side and wait it out! Oh, right, tell Bai Jianan that if he really loses his virginity to that slut, I'll have my darling eat his manhood while he's sleeping, and then chop him up and throw him into the back mountain to feed the wolves."

After saying that, Hua Xiangrong gave Zang Feng a cold laugh, then leaped up and landed on the wall. With another jump, she disappeared on the other side of the wall. The wolf, which had been silently leaping a few times after Hua Xiangrong, also disappeared after her when she reached the top of the wall.

Zang Feng shook his head, looked at the half-missing corpse on the ground, and clicked his tongue, saying, "The people of the Assassin's Guild are not even as good as a wolf. What a disgrace."

After saying that, he leaped up and disappeared from the spot.

After returning to her room, Qiu Lingyu quickly changed her clothes and went to Heli Hong's room.

At this moment, Heli Hong was standing in the center of the room, coldly watching the person kneeling on the ground in anger. After Qiu Lingyu walked in, she saw the situation and smiled, "What is the Crown Princess doing? Who has offended you to be so angry?"

Upon hearing this, Heri Hong paused, looked at the face she hated to the core, and suppressed the hatred in her heart, asking, "Where did you go?"
