The next morning, Hua Yu got up very early and told her maid, Xiao Cui, that she wanted to go to the street to buy some nice clothes and jewelry, and asked the maid to accompany her.

The two arrived at a clothing shop, and the shop assistant hurriedly welcomed Hua Yu and her maid Xiao Cui in. "Sir, what kind of clothes are you looking for? We have the finest silks and satins here. Whatever you like, we have it. Please take your time to choose."

Hua Yu casually glanced at the dazzling array of silks in the shop, her gaze suddenly drawn to a piece of light red silk. She gracefully reached out and casually picked it up, examining it carefully for a moment before saying, "Wrap this up for me. By the way, do you have any embroiderers here? I'd be very interested to see how they embroider those exquisite patterns."

"Of course, sir! Please follow me to the second floor. Our embroidery workshop is upstairs. If you find a style you like, you can simply ask the embroiderers to embroider it according to your preferences." The waiter replied with a smile, while respectfully gesturing for Hua Yu and her companion to go upstairs.

Soon, they arrived at a rather elegantly decorated embroidery room. Upon entering, they could see several embroiderers intently working with their needles, their nimble fingers gradually bringing out exquisite flowers and lifelike birds on the silk.

"Xiao Cui, I want to wander around here by myself and admire these embroideries. You stay here and keep an eye on the embroiderers while they finish embroidering my clothes." After Hua Yu gently instructed Xiao Cui, she wandered around the embroidery room like a lively butterfly.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, Hua Yu swiftly and deftly flipped over the second-floor window. Like a shadow, she silently slid to the ground and then nimbly slipped into a narrow alleyway nearby. Once inside, she looked around to make sure no one was watching before stopping.

Immediately afterward, Hua Yu reached into her robes and carefully pulled out a set of guard's clothes that had been prepared beforehand. She quickly changed into the clothes and straightened her appearance. Then, she took out a small pill from her inner pocket—the legendary "Heaven and Earth Reversal Pill." Without hesitation, Hua Yu placed the pill in her mouth and swallowed it gently.

Not long after, something astonishing happened. The once graceful Hua Yu had transformed into a tall, handsome, and imposing guard. With his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he looked exactly like the guard named Mu San under the Crown Prince, without any difference.

Once everything was ready, Hua Yu, disguised as a guard, took a deep breath and hurriedly headed towards the Crown Prince's residence.

"Mu San" swaggered into the Crown Prince's residence. Hua Yu had Xiao Zha investigate beforehand, and Mu San was still keeping an eye on Lan Feng's side and wouldn't be back for a while, so she felt safe and boldly walked into the Crown Prince's residence.

Soon, he arrived before the Crown Prince, knelt on one knee, and said, "Your Highness, I have uncovered important information. Hua Xiang, the second young lady of the Hua family, has recently gained the favor of Lan Feng. Hua Xiang and Hua Yu are at odds. Perhaps we could target Hua Xiang to threaten Lan Feng?" The Crown Prince raised an eyebrow, a calculating glint in his eyes. "That's an excellent plan, but I must ensure its success. Are you absolutely certain?" Hua Yu was secretly delighted, but remained outwardly calm. "Your Highness, I have already sent men to closely monitor Hua Xiang's movements. We can act as soon as Your Highness gives the order." The Crown Prince nodded in satisfaction. "Then I will entrust this matter to Mu Er. You continue to monitor Lan Feng."

The Crown Prince clapped his hands, and Mu Er appeared in a flash. He whispered a few words, then flew onto the roof and disappeared.

Hua Yu accepted the order and withdrew. As she turned to leave the Crown Prince's study, a barely perceptible smile played on her lips. This was all part of her plan. She knew the Crown Prince was suspicious and greedy, and would surely use this opportunity to deal with Lan Feng. She intended to use the Crown Prince to first sow discord between Hua Xiang and Lan Feng, then find a chance to expose the Crown Prince's conspiracy. In this way, she could both protect herself and make those who had wronged her reap what they sowed.

After leaving the Crown Prince's residence, Hua Yu found a secluded corner to change back into women's clothing, then quietly sneaked back to her embroidery room. As soon as she stepped inside, Xiao Zha excitedly said, "Host, everything is proceeding according to our plan." Hua Yu smiled slightly and said softly, "Now, let's wait and see how this good show unfolds."

Soon, a letter appeared in Hua Xiang's room. It read: "At three quarters past noon, a meeting at Qingfeng Tower, Lan Feng." Hua Xiang was overjoyed, knowing that the Fourth Prince was finally going to have a private date with her. She secretly thought to herself, "That little bitch Hua Yu, what does she have to compete with me for her?"

The Crown Prince was already waiting in Qingfeng Tower. When Hua Xiang, who had come to keep the appointment, opened the door, she was surprised to find that it was not Lan Feng, but His Highness the Crown Prince. She asked in confusion, "I wonder what important matter Your Highness has summoned me for?"

The prince put down his teacup and said slowly, "I want to discuss a business deal with you."

"What deal?"

"I need you to help me get the secret guard token from Lan Feng, and I'll help you get rid of Hua Yu. What do you think of this deal?"

"Why should I help you? I would never betray the Fourth Prince."

"Because you have no choice but to obey me." With that, he swiftly moved to Hua Xiang's side, pressed her pressure points, inserted an unknown pill into her mouth, and then released the pressure points. Hua Xiang stared wide-eyed in horror, "What did you give me?" The prince sneered, "This is poison. If you don't obey me, it will flare up every three days, each time causing excruciating pain." Hua Xiang bit her lip, her heart filled with resentment yet utterly helpless.

Meanwhile, Hua Yu secretly observed everything. Seeing Hua Xiang's pained expression, she felt a sense of pleasure but knew it wasn't the right time yet. She whispered to Xiao Zha, "Now we just need to wait for Hua Xiang to go back and cry to Lan Feng. Lan Feng will definitely come to confront the Crown Prince. Then we can expose the Crown Prince's conspiracy to the public."

Meanwhile, Hua Yu had already set off for the Fourth Prince's residence ahead of time. Upon seeing Lan Feng, she said, "Brother Lan Feng, I know you like my sister, but Sister Hua Xiang has already hooked up with the Crown Prince. They are having a secret rendezvous at Qingfeng Tower."

Upon hearing this, Lan Feng was furious and rushed to Qingfeng Tower. Sure enough, he found Hua Xiang embracing the Crown Prince, looking very affectionate. Lan Feng was so angry that he turned around and left.

"Congratulations, host, your points have reached 50."

"Haha, as expected of me, killing two birds with one stone. We can't let those two adulterers get away with this." Hua Yu then followed Lan Feng back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

After returning to the palace, Lan Feng drank alone in his study. Seeing this, Hua Yu feigned concern and approached him. "Brother Lan Feng, don't be sad for that kind of woman; it's not worth it." Lan Feng looked up at her, his eyes filled with doubt and a hint of inquiry. "Why are you telling me these things?" Hua Yu was startled, but remained calm. "I just can't stand how my sister treats you."

"My Yu'er is so thoughtful. I'm so lucky to have you." Lan Feng pulled Hua Yu into his arms and gave her a light kiss.

"Congratulations, host! Lan Feng's favorability towards you has reached 60. Keep it up!" Xiao Zha chattered in Hua Yu's ear.

Hua Yu pushed the Fourth Prince away. "Your Highness, no, we are not engaged yet. It's best to keep our distance."
