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

That day was the most infuriating day Murong Qianqiu had ever experienced since becoming emperor.

Bai Jianan went there despite his illness, and according to Heli Hong's message, his son seemed to have lost a lot of memories, which made it impossible for him to say anything. Even when the princess's mansion in the capital was attacked by wolves, and people placed the responsibility on him, the emperor, he couldn't refute it.

Wolves? How could there be wolves in the capital? But someone died in the Princess's residence. They were indeed eaten by wild animals. The person who died was a member of the Miao witch family and had nothing to do with the Princess's residence.

You said if he didn't care, he should just scold Bai Jianan back. The Golden Cicada Gu hasn't been obtained yet. It's common knowledge that Heli Hong values ​​Bai Jianan. Otherwise, how could he so easily exchange a son for this hard-won Golden Cicada Gu?

If Heri Hong were to ignore Bai Jianan at this moment, he would definitely not let it go. Therefore, he could only remain still and, as Bai Jianan had instructed, send someone to investigate the appearance of this so-called wolf and find out what was going on.

There is no doubt that this was done by someone. Otherwise, given the vast territory of the capital and the fact that the Princess's residence is not located at the city gate, how could the wolf have not acted recklessly at the city gate but instead secretly sneaked into the Princess's residence to eat people?

Have wolves become spirits?

Therefore, this is not only a provocation against Bai Jianan and Heli Hong of the Princess's residence, but also a provocation against his imperial power. It must be investigated.

An imperial edict calmed Bai Jianan down, and he was given many fine gifts. Only then did Bai Jianan return from the palace triumphantly. He even 'passed by' the Crown Prince's residence on the way, showing off for a while before leaving.

After the debt collectors left, Murong Qianqiu finally unleashed her pent-up anger, nearly tearing the palace apart.

He never expected that Bai Jianan, who had lost part of his memory, would act like a complete idiot and a lunatic, using this incident to blackmail him for a lot of treasures, shrinking his private treasury even further, and even taking away one of the tokens for free entry into various parts of the palace.

As for Bai Jianan, after returning to the Princess's residence, he was still thinking about how to avoid having a concubine with Heli Hong, but unexpectedly, it was truly heaven's help that trouble occurred in the residence again.

Bai Jianan saw Heli Hong sitting upright in the main hall with a livid face, while a corpse lay on the ground.

The body was covered by a white sheet, making it impossible to tell how it died. However, the body covered by the sheet was noticeably shorter than a person's height. Upon seeing this, Bai Jianan immediately understood what had happened.

The wolves have reappeared, and more people have died.

Concealing the smile in his eyes, Bai Jianan's gaze betrayed panic. Supported by a servant, he quickly walked to Heli Hong's side and asked with concern, "How come someone has died again?"

Helihong nodded and said, "Someone saw the wolf, but we can't find it. I suspect that someone deliberately let the wolf into the mansion."

"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan was furious, but because he was unwell, he coughed softly before he could speak. Heli Hong quickly went over and patted his back, asking, "What's wrong?"

Bai Jianan waved his hand, paused for a moment, and said, "It's nothing. It's just that whoever dares to challenge me, Bai Jianan, is so bold. Men, search carefully. If you find anything, I will reward you handsomely. If you don't find anything, you'll be beaten!"

Bai Jianan's exasperated state lasted only a moment before his face turned pale. Heli Hong felt a pang of heartache and hurriedly asked, "Your body hasn't recovered after all these days. Should the Ghost Doctor take another look at you?"

Bai Jianan immediately shook his head and said firmly, "No need. How much money has that old geezer already taken from me? He's almost emptied my Qilin Pavilion. I absolutely cannot let him treat my illness anymore."

"Don't worry, I'm fine now. The wound is still a little inflamed, but it will heal with more rest. However, since my injury isn't serious, I'll need you to take care of things at home. Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing the guilty look on Bai Jianan's pale face, Heli Hong smiled gently and said, "What are you talking about? I am your Crown Princess, and this Princess's Mansion is our home. It is my duty to do things in the mansion. How can it be hard work?"

Although the Ghost Doctor has left, your injuries still shouldn't be aggravated by strenuous activity. I've already tidied up the study; you should continue to rest there for the next few days. If you need anything, just send someone to find me.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan frowned and said with slight disapproval, "My health is much better now. It might not be good for me to continue living in the study. Besides, there are many people in the mansion who gossip. If we, husband and wife, do not share a room, it might get out and affect your reputation."

Upon hearing this, Heli Hong was slightly taken aback, then blushed and lowered her head. Seeing this, Bai Jianan suddenly smiled, leaned close to Heli Hong's ear and whispered, "What? Are you shy? You're already married to me, why are you shy now?"

Upon hearing this, Heli Hong immediately shyly moved away from him and said softly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your injury hasn't healed yet, and I have a lot of things to do. If you stay with me, I'm afraid it will affect your rest."

Bai Jianan seemed to ponder for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true. If I'm with you, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself if it goes on for too long. In that case, let's leave it at that. I'll go back to my study to rest, and you shouldn't overwork yourself."

As Bai Jianan spoke, he turned and left. Heli Hong bit her lip in frustration and watched Bai Jianan leave with longing eyes.

She longed to be intimate with Bai Jianan and enjoy the pleasures of married life.

However, the wolf incident in the mansion was definitely not that simple, and the only person she had a grudge against was Shangguan Jianyue. If the woman in the Crown Prince's mansion was indeed Shangguan Jianyue, then she absolutely could not let Bai Jianan know about this.

But if she weren't Shangguan Jianyue, then the affairs of the Princess's residence might have nothing to do with her.

Wolves are the most revered animals in Mobei, and are considered the gods of Mobei. Princess Qiu Lingyu of Mobei is staying at the mansion, so this wolf might have some connection with her. However, if Qiu Lingyu was the one who did this, it seems even more impossible.

The two sides are in an alliance. If one side collapses, it will be very detrimental to the other side, especially since the two sides have just formed an alliance. Qiu Lingyu doesn't need to offend Heli Hong with her status.

But if it wasn't these two people, then who could it be?

After watching Bai Jianan leave, Heli Hong put away his smile and looked coldly at the half-corpse on the ground, saying, "Bury the person. Continue the search throughout the manor. Double the number of guards at night. Don't let any disturbance slip by. I refuse to believe that I, a living person, can't find a single beast."

"You're saying there are wolves in the Princess's residence? Is that true?"

Jian Yue frowned as she listened to Murong Chuan's words, feeling somewhat surprised. Almost everyone would say "impossible" when they heard about this!

How could the Princess's residence possibly have wild wolves? It would be one thing to have a few dogs, but wolves? Could it be that someone is out of their mind, raising wolf cubs without realizing it?

Murong Chuan nodded slightly, also puzzled, and said, "Of course it's true. Bai Jianan entered the palace and had a big fight with my father. Not only did he make my father send the Imperial Guards to investigate his residence, but he also extorted a lot of good things from my father. He even showed off at my gate before going back."

I think there must be some kind of conspiracy involved.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue remained silent for a moment before saying, "A conspiracy? What conspiracy?"

Murong Chuan shook his head: "I don't know. I feel that Bai Jianan is different from before. Although he is still annoying, he seems to be even more annoying now."

Jian Yue smiled and said nonchalantly, "Of course there must be a conspiracy, otherwise, he wouldn't have brought back someone who looks like me to murder you just so you could see it."

As for the wolves, I think that no matter who released them, it will only benefit us and not harm us. We might as well let it develop. After all, such people are definitely friends, not enemies. Even if they end up as enemies, it doesn't matter. In the end, how could their combined strength possibly match that of the untouchable prince?

Murong Chuan smiled and agreed, "That's right, the wolf didn't come to our house, so it has nothing to do with us."

“Our home? Your Highness should be mindful of your words. This Crown Prince’s residence has absolutely nothing to do with me, Shangguan Jianyue. Moreover, this residence will soon welcome a new master. I think Your Highness should refrain from speaking carelessly, as it would not be good if the future Crown Princess found out.”

Jian Yue smiled at Murong Chuan, but there was no smile in her eyes. Seeing this, Murong Chuan shook his head helplessly and said, "It's just a form of address, why take it so seriously?"

Jian Yue shook her head and said, "Why shouldn't I care? You are you and I am me. You have too many women, and I'm afraid I'll get myself into trouble. My purpose in coming here is only to use your power to take revenge. I don't want to attract anyone to come and cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, Murong Chuan frowned slightly, his gaze shifting before he smiled indulgently, "Yueyue looks so cute when she's jealous. But don't worry, Qiu Lingfeng and I were just putting on an act. These past few days with her were merely to appease her. If you're annoyed by her, I'll simply stop her from coming to see you."

Soothe? What kind of soothing can calm the Gu worms in the body? Although Jian Yue didn't know what kind of Gu worms were in Murong Chuan's body, the course of Murong Chuan's illness and treatment made Jian Yue guess that it was pretty close to the truth.

Adding to the things Hei Feng taught her, it has to be said that Heli Hong really has a twisted sense of humor, actually using this method to raise Gu worms, which is really hard to compliment.

Therefore, Murong Chuan's skin is truly thick, and his ability to lie through his teeth is also superb; he is simply the king of shamelessness.
