The prince is fierce: Who dares to steal my woman?

Yu Xin'er covered her lips with her hand, a playful smile playing on her lips, her eyes gleaming with mischief: "Husband, you really know how to play."

Xiao Jinyan chuckled softly, a sly glint in her eyes: "This is called a threesome, understand?"

Yu Xin'er exclaimed, "What? Three farts? You're saying the three of us are farts?"

Xiao Jinyan shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself, "Ignorance is truly terrifying."

Guan Lingxuan's face still showed hesitation and unease: "Can the three of us really manage together? I can't let go of my inhibitions..."

Yu Xin'er's eyes held a hint of expectation: "I don't really care."

Xiao Jinyan gently reassured her, "It's no problem. Let's agree beforehand that it's one time each, which is fair and reasonable. Besides, I've been really busy lately, so I need to conserve my energy and not be so tired that I can't get out of bed."

Looking into Xiao Jinyan's sincere and determined eyes, Guan Lingxuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. In the end, she reluctantly relented, "Alright, since my husband has said so, I can only reluctantly agree..."

So, on this moonlit night, Xiao Jinyan embraced his two beautiful wives and slowly walked towards the carved bed. Their figures appeared exceptionally warm and romantic in the moonlight, as if the whole world was silent for this beautiful moment.

On the other hand, in that moonlit night, a hidden corner of the Duke of Qi's mansion concealed a secret.

Dressed in an elegant light blue robe, Green Pearl moved lightly through the winding corridors, finally stopping before the tightly closed vermilion door. This was where Yang Rong was being held under house arrest, surrounded by heavily armed soldiers like an impregnable fortress, every pair of eyes as sharp as a hawk's, watching for the slightest movement.

Pushing open the door, a heavy, oppressive atmosphere rushed in, carrying with it a faint sense of worry and unease.

As Green Pearl stepped into the room, she saw Yang Rong sitting in the dim candlelight, her eyes, which usually sparkled with lively light, now veiled with a thin mist of worry.

Upon seeing Lüzhu, Yang Rong's face instantly lit up with concern, and she asked anxiously, "How are you? Lüzhu, did Xiao Jinyan make things difficult for you?"

Green Pearl gently shook her head, a complicated smile playing on her lips: "Princess, Xiao Jinyan did not make things difficult for me. Moreover, from now on, he will never harm you again."

These words were like a gentle spring breeze, slightly easing Yang Rong's tense nerves, but soon, doubts crept back into her mind.

"How could this happen? Do you think Xiao Jinyan will let us off the hook? Could he really be so kind?"

Yang Rong's tone was filled with disbelief.

Green Pearl's eyes deepened, as if holding a thousand unspoken words. She slowly approached Yang Rong and whispered, "Don't worry, Princess. For your safety, I... I've made a decision. I've... offered myself to Xiao Jinyan. So, he won't easily do anything to you, Princess."

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong's expression changed drastically. She stood up abruptly, gripping Lü Zhu's shoulders tightly with both hands, her voice trembling: "What did you say? Lü Zhu, you slept with Xiao Jin Yan...?"

As she spoke, she unconsciously pulled open Green Pearl's sleeve, her eyes anxiously searching for something on her fair arm. Only when she saw that the cinnabar mole symbolizing her purity was gone did she realize that Green Pearl was no longer a virgin.

Yang Rong's eyes flickered with a complex light in the dim candlelight. She stared intently at Lü Zhu and said sharply, "Lü Zhu, how could you... how could you sleep with Xiao Jin Yan?"

Green Pearl's eyes were filled with determination and resolve. She looked up at Yang Rong with unwavering loyalty and said righteously, "Princess, for your safety, I, Green Pearl, would give up my life. What is a mere body?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong's heart skipped a beat, her eyes involuntarily reddened, and her voice choked with emotion: "Green Pearl, how could you be so foolish, so foolish..."

However, in that instant, Yang Rong's eyes suddenly sharpened, as if she had realized something. Green Pearl was sleeping with a handsome, dashing, and powerful young master, not some seventy- or eighty-year-old old man; what was there to complain about…?

She abruptly pulled her hand back, staring intently at Green Pearl: "No, Green Pearl, have you... already sided with Xiao Jinyan?"

These words, like a sharp blade in the cold wind, instantly brought the atmosphere in the room to a freezing point.

Green Pearl's heart sank, but she quickly regained her composure, her eyes becoming even clearer: "Princess, how could you think that? My heart has always belonged to you alone. Everything I've done has been for you, for our future."

Her tone was sincere, without the slightest affectation or falsehood.

A look of doubt and struggle flashed across Yang Rong's face. She asked again, "Really?"

Green Pearl nodded heavily, her eyes gleaming with unwavering conviction: "It's true, Princess. The current situation is incredibly complex. The only way we can succeed is to continue pretending to be allied with Xiao Jinyan and use him to fight against the Prince of Guangling. Only then can we plunge the Song Dynasty into endless internal strife and ultimately achieve our goal of avenging our Great Chouchi."

Yang Rong listened to Lü Zhu's analysis, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with both shock and deep thought. She spoke slowly, her voice tinged with uncertainty: "Lü Zhu, you... really think so?"

Green Pearl nodded firmly again, her eyes shining with determination and hope: "Of course, Princess. No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, I, Green Pearl, will follow you to the death, clearing obstacles for you and going through fire and water without hesitation."

Yang Rong's eyes flickered uncertainly in the night, her voice low but tinged with suspicion: "Then why did you sleep with Xiao Jinyan?"

Green Pearl gently brushed a stray hair from her temple, a bitter smile playing on her lips, and continued, "Princess, who is this Xiao Jinyan? He's sharp-tongued, mean-spirited, and cunning. I, Green Pearl, can tell him that if I don't offer myself to him, how can he easily believe my sincerity?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong frowned slightly, her expression of doubt deepening.

Green Pearl gently shook her head, a barely perceptible firmness flashing in her eyes: "Your Highness, you may not know this, but what I say to Xiao Jinyan in bed is completely different from what I say at the table. Men always have their vulnerable side, especially when whispered in someone's ear, they are more likely to let their guard down. This is a strategy, and also a last resort. Your Highness, you must understand my good intentions."

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong's expression softened slightly, but she still couldn't hide her worry: "Green Pearl, I hope you won't end up betraying me like Zi Xuan did."

Upon hearing this, Green Pearl's gaze was sincere and firm: "Princess, please rest assured, Green Pearl is loyal to you to the ends of the earth, as heaven and earth can attest. What happened to Zi Xuan will never be repeated with Green Pearl. I, Green Pearl, am willing to swear on my life that everything I do in the future will be for the good of the princess, and will never be detrimental to the princess."

However, for some reason, a lingering shadow remained in Yang Rong's heart. She gazed at Lü Zhu, whose clear, watery eyes seemed to hold too many things she couldn't understand. Was it loyalty? Or ulterior motives?

However, Yang Rong is currently in dire straits herself, and she has no time to think about much else, because she doesn't have many choices left.
