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

Bai Jianan was puzzled, but then Yan Xingzhi clicked his tongue and said, "Judging from your lovestruck look, you must have already put someone in your heart. If you really don't agree, who knows how that beautiful young lady will be treated? Even if there is Lanyue Tower, there will still be times when it is too far away to help."

"Of course, that beauty has earned your favor, Your Highness, so she must be capable. But even with such ability, she can't stand alone in this capital. If something truly happens, Your Highness, your first love at first sight will be completely ruined."

Bai Jianan frowned slightly. He did not agree with Yan Xingzhi's statement. He had fallen in love with Jian Yue at first sight, but the thought of Jian Yue being framed and killed alone made him feel uneasy.

Seeing Bai Jianan's displeasure, Yan Xingzhi simply smiled and continued, "See? So you still won't admit that you have feelings for her? Besides, this Lanyue Tower is the largest information hub in the capital, second only to the Qilin Pavilion. If we were to take over such a place, our chances would increase significantly."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan understood Yan Xingzhi's purpose. He said, "Xingzhi, are you eyeing Lanyue Tower?"

Yan Xingzhi raised his eyes, coughed lightly twice, and said, "I have to admit that I did have my eye on Lanyue Tower before, and I was even preparing to start something. Otherwise, I wouldn't know so much about Lanyue Tower."

However, you have now become involved with the people of Lan Yue Lou, so the plan has changed. If the prince marries that illegitimate daughter, we will have two possible outcomes.

First, both Lan Yue Lou and that concubine's daughter are under the control of the Second Prince. Now that they've allied themselves with us, they want to find out our strength and weaknesses. After all, the support of the Grand Princess is a certain asset.

Secondly, this illegitimate daughter has no connection with Lan Yue Lou or the Second Prince. Her true purpose is the Qiu family and the woman imprisoned in their cellar.

"So? You want to use this marriage alliance to bring Lan Yue Lou under your control?"

Bai Jianan frowned, hesitating. Yan Xingzhi smiled and said, "What? You can't bring yourself to do it? It's clear you've really fallen for her. I've investigated Lan Yue Tower before. The tower owner is no ordinary person. Not only is her identity mysterious, but her skills are also extraordinary. Yet, no one has ever seen her use her inner strength."

Your little girl is acquainted with this person, and their relationship is quite close. She's probably not a simple character, and if you're really interested in her, it won't be easy for you to succeed.

"Your Highness, so many years have passed, and you still flit from flower to flower without ever getting attached. If it were before, I would never have agreed to you marrying a useless illegitimate daughter. Even if I had the intention, I would have waited until everything settled down before making any plans. But now, I think Your Highness should strike first."

Bai Jianan raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

"I fear that even if the young master has control over the overall situation, he still cannot control the affairs of this woman."

Yan Xingzhi continued to make startling remarks, stepping forward, snatching Bai Jianan's teacup and casually placing it on the other side of the table, saying, "Young Master, do you think the Qiu family would risk letting a concubine's daughter who poses a threat to them appear and marry you in place of you? Aren't they afraid of exposing the true identity of this concubine's daughter?"

Of course, the Emperor's bestowal of marriage was a trigger, but if someone hadn't mentioned this person to Qiu Zhenzhou, do you think Qiu Zhenzhou would have remembered that he had such a daughter?

I've investigated Lan Yue Tower for four whole years, and I still haven't been able to uncover any details about them, not even the matter of this illegitimate daughter. It seems that when they do something truly astonishing, it will surely surprise everyone.
