Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

Hearing the commotion, Yingfeng looked at them, quite shocked, "You are the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Star Pavilion."

"It is I."

“You…” Yingfeng looked at Su Qianrou again and asked in confusion, “Why?”

Su Qianrou did not answer, but looked at Yun Yu and said, "Now I have done what I promised the Pavilion Master. I wonder when the Pavilion Master will fulfill his promise to me."

"No rush," Yun Yu said, looking at Luo Ying.

Luo Ying understood and immediately stepped forward.

"What are you going to do?" Yingfeng asked warily.

Luo Ying ignored him, reached out to check Mu Jinchen's breath, and then nodded to Yun Yu.

Yun Yu sneered, "Who would have thought that our usually decisive and ruthless Regent would ultimately fall into the hands of a woman?"

"Impossible! The prince couldn't be dead! Guards! Guards!" Yingfeng refused to believe it.

"Stop shouting. The people outside are all from the Hundred Stars Pavilion. No one will come in. Besides, he's already dead. Even if a great immortal came, he couldn't save him," Su Qianrou said coldly.

"Why? Why did you do this? It's true that the prince betrayed your oath, but the kindness he's shown you these past few days is also real. Can't you feel it at all? How can you be so heartless?" Yingfeng questioned frantically.

"If he is unrighteous, then don't blame me for being unjust."

“If the prince hadn’t married you back then, you would have been married off to the Western Regions long ago. Yet you show no gratitude whatsoever. The prince must have been blind to have fallen for you.”

Su Qianrou didn't want to argue with him anymore, and looked at Yun Yu, "Now that he's dead, is Prince Yu satisfied?"

Yun Yu was taken aback for a moment and asked, "How did you know that?"

Su Qianrou glanced at the jade pendant he was wearing. She felt that it looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, and it wasn't until she was at the door that she remembered.

"Your Highness has a good eye," Mu Xiaoyun said, removing her mask to reveal a familiar face.

Yingfeng was greatly shocked, "The master of the Hundred Stars Pavilion is actually Prince Yu."

"I was wondering why Prince Yu's people kept appearing in the palace after he was exiled. Now I understand. It's a clever scheme by Prince Yu to deceive everyone. He is truly admirable."

"I have long heard that the princess is both beautiful and talented, and now it seems that it is indeed true. I am growing more and more fond of the princess."

"The Prince Yu said he would marry me and give me supreme power, but he must be lying to me."

"How could that be? A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

"Has Prince Yu forgotten that he already has a princess consort, and is now confined to the Prince Yu's residence?"

"How can she compare to you, Princess? Don't worry, once things are settled, I will definitely make you my empress."

"Why should I trust you? If you forget the fish you caught and discard the millstone after you've served your purpose, I will not only die without a burial place, but I will also implicate the Su family."

Mu Xiaoyun chuckled and said, "Does the princess still have a way out?" He glanced at Mu Jinchen on the ground and continued, "You have already poisoned him. If you back down now, I don't need to tell you the consequences. I think the princess knows them too. But if you take me to the palace and force the young emperor to write an abdication edict, I can guarantee your safety and make you the empress. If you don't believe me, I can also write an imperial edict to make you empress. That way, I won't have to worry about you going back on your word. What do you think, princess?"

"Impossible," Mu Jinchen, who was dead, suddenly said, and then stood up.

Apart from Su Qianrou, the other three people present were all shocked.

Yingfeng exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness, you're not dead!"

Mu Xiaoyun looked at him in disbelief, then turned to Su Qianrou and asked, "What's going on? Didn't you poison him? Why didn't he die?"

"Yes, why didn't they die? Oh, maybe I took the wrong one and mistook the sleeping pill for poison."

"Drugs? Where did you get those drugs?"

“I have always carried sleeping pills on me, but Prince Yu is unaware of it.”

Mu Xiaoyun was furious, cursing his subordinates for being utterly incompetent and capable of causing more trouble than they were capable of, even forgetting something as important as a body search.

It wasn't that they forgot, but rather that they assumed Su Qianrou, being a weak woman, wouldn't have anything else on her besides jewelry, so they didn't search her.

"You have been putting on an act with me all along."

"Isn't Prince Yu just putting on an act with me? Does Prince Yu really think I would believe your nonsense?"

"I always keep my word. If I say I will marry you, then I will marry you."

Su Qianrou chuckled and said, "Does your so-called marriage mean making me a concubine?"

Mu Xiaoyun was somewhat surprised, wondering how she knew.

"Next time, Prince Yu should wait until the others are far away before speaking."

Yesterday, after the two reached an agreement, she came out of the room and overheard his conversation with Luo Ying as soon as she stepped out the door.

******

"Master, do you really want to marry Princess Ping Le?"

“What right does a discarded woman have to be my wife? After the deed is done, giving her the title of Imperial Concubine will already be an honor.”

"What if she doesn't want to?"

"At that time, it wasn't her place to be unwilling."

Upon hearing this, Su Qianrou was not angry, but rather somewhat surprised, not expecting that the master of the Hundred Stars Pavilion was actually a prince.

******

"That's just a temporary measure. I assure you, I will make you the empress in the future."

"I really don't know whether to say that Prince Yu is smart or stupid. Don't you think that if she cared about power, why would she divorce me?" Mu Jinchen said leisurely.

Mu Xiaoyun didn't believe there was anyone in the world who didn't care about power, so he looked at Su Qianrou and asked, unwilling to give up, "Are you really not tempted at all?"

"I don't care whether I'm a concubine or an empress; the main thing is, I find it dirty."

"What's the meaning".

Su Qianrou glanced at Mu Jinchen and said, "Isn't this obvious enough?"

Mu Xiaoyun looked at her, completely bewildered.

"Why does Prince Yu think she wants a divorce from me?" Mu Jinchen asked.

Mu Xiaoyun then understood her meaning and was furious. "I think you're courting death!" he said, and was about to attack Su Qianrou.

Mu Jinchen reacted quickly, pulling her behind him and blocking Prince Yu's attack.

Mu Xiaoyun was unwilling to give up and directly targeted him, as if she were going to fight to the death.

The shadow followed closely behind.

Mu Jinchen didn't hesitate and immediately retaliated.

Yingfeng naturally couldn't stand idly by.

Therefore, the four of them started fighting.

Su Qianrou took a few steps back to avoid being caught in the crossfire, and then watched quietly from the side.

The two sides were evenly matched and fought a fierce and evenly contested battle.

Su Qianrou looked at the decorations in the room that had been smashed to pieces and couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.
