A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

Bai Luoluo reached out and hugged the man's lean waist, resting her cheek against his heart.

At that moment, the man's heartbeat was right next to her ear, and she could clearly sense whether he loved her the same way.

"All I see are abysses and quagmires, but meeting Luo'er is my good fortune. Life is short, but I am not happy without you."

Tender words of affection rang in Bai Luoluo's ears, so sincere and passionate, like a flame that set her ablaze.

She slightly raised her eyes and looked at her reflection in Gu Yanchi's eyes.

You are in me, and I am in you, yet in an instant, my heart flutters.

She gently kissed the man's thin lips, taking the initiative for the first time.

Gu Yanchi was flattered and surprised. He raised his arm slightly and held the head of the person in his arms, deepening the kiss.

The love between them was like a flowing river, sometimes joyful, sometimes turbulent, and slowly returning to calm.

【.........！！！】

Bai Hao was in the study of the general's mansion, looking at some clues he had found.

The guard recounted everything he had investigated, each sentence enraging Bai Hao.

It turns out that Zhang Yuyao was targeting his Luo'er in this way.

She spread some false rumors, and Luo'er was tricked by the Third Prince, who used her as a savior as a cover and deceived her for so many years.

No one in the manor treated his beloved daughter as the legitimate daughter; everyone revered Zhang Yuyao and Bai Qianqian.

He was terribly wrong. The poisoning could not be investigated, but the fact remained that the physician in the manor had poisoned him, and there was no way to prove it now that he was dead.

But Bai Hao wasn't stupid; he understood that Zhang Yuyao was behind it all. Otherwise, who would dare to poison the eldest daughter of the Grand General?

"Send people to monitor Zhang Yuyao and her daughter, and report any unusual activity."

Bai Hao's eyes were filled with intense coldness.

"Yes."

The guards left the study after receiving their orders. Bai Hao sat dejectedly in a chair, regret evident in his eyes.

He shouldn't have married Zhang Yuyao in the first place; it ruined his beloved daughter.

Now, he feels sorry for Xue'er, and even more sorry for Luo'er; he truly deserves to die.

Over the years, I had thought that Zhang Yuyao was skilled and kind, and would definitely take good care of Luo'er, but I never expected her to turn out like this.

Qianqian's personality is so ruthless; she clearly cannot tolerate her elder sister. The Bai family has been known for its upright and loyal people for generations. Could it be that she was influenced by Zhang Yuyao's teachings from a young age?

At this moment, Bai Hao felt utterly exhausted. He closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and felt an unbearable headache.

Bai Luoluo arranged to meet the Third Prince at Phoenix Tower, and this message was sent by Gu Yanchi.

When Gu Yanjin received the letter, he could hardly believe it.

The day the Empress sent someone to inform him, he felt it was unreal.

During their interactions, he discovered that Bai Luoluo was completely different from before, and he couldn't tell at all that she was acting. However, the Empress kept emphasizing that everything Bai Luoluo did was to gain Gu Yanchi's trust.

However, the disgust in Bai Luoluo's eyes that day, and her close intimacy with Gu Yanchi, made him extremely jealous.

Bai Luoluo can only belong to him in this life, and can only follow in his footsteps. No one can take her away. He did all of this for military power.

As dusk settled, Bai Luoluo was already waiting for Gu Yanjin in a private room at the Phoenix Restaurant.

"Miss, the Prince is in the next private room, this..."

Xiao Tao didn't understand what was wrong with her young lady. At this time, she was secretly meeting with the Third Prince, and the prince actually agreed, and even came along next door. She couldn't understand why at all.

"Don't panic, Xiao Tao, go out and find Leng Ye first, but don't show yourself."

"It's Miss."

Xiao Tao pushed open the door and went straight to find Leng Ye.

At this moment, Gu Yanchi, Leng Feng, Leng Ye, and Xiao Tao were all in the next private room.

However, Gu Yanchi's face looked somewhat gloomy, as if he was angry.

At this moment, Gu Yanjin arrived to keep the appointment.

"Squeak!"

The door to the private room was pushed open, and Gu Yanjin, dressed in all black, appeared to have dressed up carefully, looking like a handsome and elegant gentleman.

"This humble woman pays her respects to the Third Prince."

Bai Luoluo looked at him with disdain and stepped forward to bow.

"Luo'er, there's no need to be so formal."

Gu Yanjin stepped forward to help her, but Bai Luoluo dodged him.

"There is a distinction between superiors and inferiors, and I, your humble servant, dare not overstep my bounds."

She stood up straight, looking obedient and sensible.

Gu Yanjin watched with amusement. His mother was right. This woman's previous indifference towards him was all an act. He knew Bai Luoluo loved him deeply, so how could she suddenly stop loving him?

"There are no outsiders here, Luo'er, please sit down and talk."

At this moment, Gu Yanjin spoke gently, appearing very gentlemanly.

With each sip of the teacup, Gu Yanchi's teacup shattered instantly, and Xiao Tao, startled, hid behind Leng Ye.

The prince is terrifying! What is the young lady trying to do?!

Leng Feng and Leng Ye exchanged a glance, realizing that their prince was jealous, but they had no idea what the prince and princess were doing.

One came to see his former lover, while the other, jealous, overheard the princess talking to another man next door.

"The Third Prince knows why I did all this, so there's no need to say more."

Bai Luoluo personally served Gu Yanjin a bowl of chicken soup, her movements practiced and seemingly trying to please him.

At this moment, Gu Yanjin was overjoyed. Perhaps because he had lost Bai Luoluo once, he was now secretly happy.

"After this is accomplished, I will definitely marry Luo'er with a grand wedding procession. If she gives birth to a prince, the position of Crown Princess will be yours."

Gu Yanjin spoke with deep affection, as if he himself loved Bai Luoluo very much.

Looking at this face, Bai Luoluo felt extremely nauseous, but she forced a gentle smile.

"Your Highness, you must not break your promise." She lowered her head shyly. "The soup won't taste good if it gets cold. Your Highness, please don't disappoint me."

"Drink it quickly, you scumbag. Once you drink it, you'll be waiting for the hunt tomorrow. She's going to watch a good show."

"Luo'er is so thoughtful, this soup is really delicious."

Gu Yanjin was feeling very happy and drank the soup in one gulp.

"If you like it, the Third Prince can drink more."

Bai Luoluo gave a forced smile, her eyes filled with disgust.

"I have missed Luo'er very much during this time. Today it is just the two of us here, so there is no need to be reserved. We will eventually get married."

He suddenly stood up, wanting to hug Bai Luoluo.

For some reason, he no longer felt disgust towards this woman; instead, he was overjoyed and wanted to kiss her. It was as if her veiled appearance wasn't so ugly after all, and her eyes were extremely beautiful, the most beautiful starry eyes he had ever seen.

"Your Highness, please don't be impatient. We have plenty of time."

Bai Luoluo took the chopsticks and stabbed them directly into Gu Yanjin's heart.

"Luo'er is right, I was too impatient."

A look of displeasure flashed in Gu Yanjin's eyes, but he didn't say anything, after all, he still needed Bai Luoluo to help him administer the Gu poison.
