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

Bai Jianan immediately raised his hand, pointed to the sky and said, "My wife, although you don't believe in oaths, I still swear that Heli Hong and I have absolutely no affair. I have been sleeping in separate rooms since the night we got married. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask Zang Feng."

Jian Yue didn't speak, but turned her head to look elsewhere, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Bai Jianan stepped forward, hugged her, and sighed softly, "Silly wife, your husband has always been here. He has never left."

Jian Yue didn't say a word, but let Bai Jianan hold her. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held back and didn't make a sound.

Bai Jianan hugged Jian Yue from behind, her tears falling onto his sleeve and then seeping into his arm. The cool touch made his heart ache.

"Yueyue, don't cry. I swear, I will handle things as soon as possible, and then we will get married, put your wedding dress on you again, and take you home."

Bai Jianan still remembers his vow; he said he would bring Jian Yue home, and he will definitely do it.

Jian Yue smiled, leaned back, and entrusted her weight entirely to the reliable man behind her.

Actually, she didn't blame Bai Jianan. It was just that the feeling of watching Bai Jianan hold Heli Hong's hand and go through the wedding ceremony, and watching her own place being taken by someone else, while she was powerless to do anything about it, made her feel uncomfortable all over.

It wasn't being dramatic; it was just resentment. She had handed her man over to the other party herself, and was powerless to take him back.

She knew that Hei Feng had the ability to cure Bai Jianan's poison, but she also knew that she couldn't ask Hei Feng for help. Hei Feng was not as simple as she thought.

Especially the so-called "double phoenix" incident.

She didn't believe in the "Twin Phoenixes" or the "fight for life" theory, but she understood that, in any case, she and her partner were already part of the game, destined to fight to the death.

Hei Feng once said that if she withdrew, he would ensure her safety.

Regardless of whether Black Wind's words were a test or a serious promise, it reveals that Black Wind is not the final person in this matter; he is merely a messenger in the middle.

Therefore, Hei Feng cannot leave this situation, and she may even be harmed because of her.

Regardless of why Hei Feng appeared before her, she had to admit that he had really helped Jian Yue a lot since he appeared. Although these things were all ostensibly transactions, she clearly understood that she still owed him a favor.

She didn't want to owe him too much; the favor was too heavy for her to repay. So, she could only maintain the status quo, keeping her distance or treating him coldly.

As for her final fate, sorry, she refused to accept it. How the situation was set up had nothing to do with her, and it would be broken because of her.

Since the Twin Phoenixes are a legend, let them truly remain a legend.

The two did not stay at Lan Yue Tower for long before Bai Jianan escorted Jian Yue back to the Crown Prince's residence. This was Jian Yue's insistence. She told Bai Jianan about her situation and then said, "My situation is very complicated, and I still don't know much about it. So, Bai Jianan, will you continue to protect me?"

Bai Jianan smiled and said to her, "I snatched my wife away, so naturally I must protect her well. Otherwise, if someone else takes her away, I will be heartbroken."

Thinking about how popular his wife was, he felt incredibly jealous, as if he had drunk several jars of aged vinegar. He was especially reluctant when Jian Yue suggested returning to the Crown Prince's residence. The thought of Murong Chuan's blatant gaze towards his woman even made him consider killing the Crown Prince right now.

Jian Yue saw through his thoughts and could only say helplessly, "Just as you said, you can't get rid of Heli Hong now. Similarly, I still have a use for Murong Chuan. Believe me, I want Murong Chuan dead more than anyone else. However, it would be too cheap for him to die too easily, especially since I still need him to act as a go-between for something."

In the end, Bai Jianan respected Jian Yue's decision. He knew from the moment he met Jian Yue that she harbored a shocking secret, a secret that no one but Jian Yue knew.

But now, Jian Yue said that after these matters are resolved, she will tell him the whole story. With just that promise, he has everything he needs.

Back at the Crown Prince's residence, Jian Yue did not go to rest immediately, but sat down at the table to wait. Sure enough, at midnight, the black wind came.

Jian Yue stared coldly at Hei Feng, while Hei Feng pursed his lips and stared back at Jian Yue. Neither of them spoke immediately, and the silence made the room feel eerie.

In the end, Black Wind was the first to speak: "I'm sorry."

Jian Yue smiled: "What is there to apologize for, Master? From your perspective, what you did may not have been wrong. It just so happens that our perspectives are different."

Black Wind shook his head and said, "I just don't think he's the best choice for you, but if you really choose him, I really have no right to make the decision for you. But from now on, you should be more careful. Don't go to places you shouldn't go, and don't do things you shouldn't do. Sometimes, some things can change the whole situation. One wrong step and you'll lose everything."

After Hei Feng finished speaking, he turned to leave, but Jian Yue suddenly stood up and said, "Wait."

Hei Feng turned around and saw Jian Yue asking, "May I ask where my mother is?"

Black Wind paused, then said, "Why are you asking me?"

"Because I don't know who else to ask. The Ironclad Soldiers' information network surpasses that of the Qilin Pavilion. If even the Qilin Pavilion doesn't know something, then only the Ironclad Soldiers do."

Just as Bai Jianan was about to leave, Jian Yue asked about Shangguan Linglong's whereabouts, but after asking, she suddenly began to worry.

Because Shangguan Linglong acted on her own after leaving Qilin Pavilion. At first, she had people following her, but in the end, she was completely shaken off and there was no trace of her anymore.

At first, Bai Jianan didn't notice anything, but later he gradually realized that Shangguan Linglong seemed to have her own plans. Thinking that she was a descendant of General Zhenguo, nothing would happen to her, so he didn't interfere.

Later, when he wanted to tell Jian Yue about this, he was delayed by various reasons. Now, the two of them suddenly realized that Shangguan Linglong seemed to have been missing for a long time.

Black Wind suddenly smiled, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes, but it was fleeting and didn't linger for long.

He looked at Jian Yue and sighed, "I don't want to lie to you, I do know where your mother is."

Jian Yue hurriedly asked, "Where is she?"

Black Wind shook his head: "I won't tell you, because for you, knowing now would be worse than not knowing. But I can assure you that she is really safe now, she won't suffer, and she won't encounter anything she doesn't want to encounter."

Jian Yue frowned, and then Hei Feng continued, "Jian Yue, Hei Feng has lived for a long time and has seen through many things. Sometimes, what I say is not entirely wrong. You can try to accept some of it and then see whether it is right or wrong."

When Hei Feng said this, he exuded a sense of vicissitude, with a hazy and unknowable aura about him.

After saying this strange thing, Hei Feng left. Jian Yue couldn't stop him and let him go. But she couldn't sleep all night. She held the jade seal in her hand and her mind was filled with Hei Feng's words.

Black Wind always speaks incoherently and rarely has a clear mind like this. Moreover, what he says is somewhat strange. So why is he saying these things?

After thinking about it all night, Jian Yue's eyes were dark the next day, but she still couldn't figure it out. When Murong Chuan arrived on time the next morning, he was startled when he saw Jian Yue's face after she opened the door.

"What's wrong with Yueyue?"

Jian Yue sobbed for a moment, then rubbed her forehead and said, "It's nothing, I just couldn't sleep all night thinking about my mother."

Upon hearing this, Murong Chuan said considerately, "In that case, let's go see her. It's nothing serious."

Jian Yue sighed and said, "It's easy to say, but how can I know where she is? Since she left me, only the people she left behind have been protecting me. I know nothing about the rest, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Murong Chuan had an idea and said, "In that case, you can ask the people who are protecting you. Since they all obey your mother, they must have some kind of secret code to keep in touch with her, so they will naturally be able to find your mother."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue shook her head, her brow furrowed with worry, and said, "I've tried, but there's still no news. I'm just worried that something might have happened to her, after all, we've been separated for five years."

Five years is the time since Jian Yue came out of the Qiu family's cellar. Murong Chuan calculated it and became even more certain that the force behind Jian Yue must be the legendary Ironclad Soldiers. However, he was still a little puzzled as to why Jian Yue said that these people were left behind by Shangguan Jian Yue.

Seeing that Love New York was still frowning, Murong Chuan thought for a moment and said, "In that case, draw her portrait and I'll look for it. Maybe I'll find some information."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue's eyes flashed with joy, but the next moment she shook her head in disappointment and said, "No, my mother looks eight parts like me. If you go out to look for her, someone with ulterior motives will find out and accuse you of colluding with the Shangguan family. Then you will really lose your position as crown prince."

Murong Chuan was about to continue speaking when Jian Yue stood up and said, "Let's not worry about that for now. Anyway, I think she'll be fine. After all, those people are very capable. Right now, I should take care of my own business first. By the way, you're getting married the day after tomorrow. How are the preparations going?"

Seeing that he could not continue, Murong Chuan could only reply: "It's almost done. I have already sent Qiu Lingfeng back to the Qiu residence. Yan Ming will be carried into the residence five days after the main wife enters the household, and then we will prepare for the New Year."
