"I'll feel relieved if the princess is satisfied." Ye Yunzi said with a smile.

Baili Yue looked at the remaining delicacies on the table reluctantly and said, "It would be great if I could leave the palace more often."

When Lu Shuang heard this, he quickly dissuaded her, "No, no, the capital is too dangerous."

"But besides bad guys, there are also good guys. Su Huan is a good guy. He saved me." Baili Yue's cheeks flushed, and then she felt that it was not appropriate to say this, so she cleared her throat, "Yun Zi is also a good person."

Lu Shuang was worried and sad, and secretly decided that she would never take the princess out of the palace again.

Ye Yunzi looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. We should go back to the palace."

……

Sitting in the returning carriage, Baili Yue lifted the curtain, half leaned out of the carriage and waved goodbye, "I will come to visit you often."

Ye Yunzi smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Baili Yue felt heavy-hearted when she thought about returning to the palace. She sat in the carriage and looked around, as if she was looking for a figure.

"Your Highness, please be careful," the maid Lu Shuang reminded.

The carriage went farther and farther away, but Baili Yue's eyes remained on the gate of the Su Mansion. She did not see that figure until she could no longer see the shadow of the Su Mansion.

"He didn't even come out to see me off..." Baili Yue returned to the carriage, muttering somewhat dissatisfiedly.

Lu Shuang heard the princess's complaint and consoled her by saying, "Miss Ye gave her many small toys. Even if she doesn't leave the palace, the princess will be able to play with things in the capital."

Baili Yue showed a trace of melancholy and sighed softly. She thought of the feeling of snuggling in Su Huan's arms today, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush.

My heart is beating fast and it's hard to calm down.

"Princess, your face is so red, do you have a fever?" Lu Shuang asked with concern.

"No way!" Baili Yue seemed to have hit the nail on the head. He quickly turned around and sat with his back to Lu Shuang.

On the other side, Rong Wanling paced anxiously in the house, waiting for news.

After not seeing the spy return for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Is the matter finally settled?"

She knew that today's action would bring about the destruction of the Su family, as easy as crushing an ant. Just then, the door creaked, and Rong Wanling quickly turned around and asked expectantly, "What was the result?"

However, the person who came in was not the spy she expected, but her brother Rong Mingxuan.

Rong Wanling's excitement instantly froze, and she quickly restrained her expression: "Brother, why are you here?"

Rong Mingxuan took a few steps closer, slapped her in the face, and said sternly: "You are always so stubborn."

The burning pain made her stunned and her mind went blank.

"I have warned you long ago that as the daughter of a Duke, it is not worth it to bother yourself with insignificant people. If you become an imperial concubine in the future, you can naturally step on these people." Rong Mingxuan said coldly.

Rong Wanling raised her head, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, "Brother..."

"Do you know how stupid you were today?" Rong Mingxuan's eyes were filled with anger and deep disappointment. His most beloved sister was becoming more and more unwise. She should have been the pride of the family, but she had to compete with ordinary people.

Seeing her brother's stern gaze, Rong Wanling felt flustered, "Brother, I didn't..."

"You're still saying no!" Rong Mingxuan snorted coldly, his eyes sharp, "How do you explain what happened to Lao Li in the tavern?"

Rong Wanling's body swayed and her face turned pale. She didn't expect her brother to know about this. She originally thought that her arrangement was very secret. She hurriedly grabbed the corner of Rong Mingxuan's clothes, "Brother!"

Rong Mingxuan looked at her with disappointment and remained silent.

Rong Wanling became more and more panicked. She knew that framing the princess was a serious crime. Once it was exposed, not only would her life be in danger, but the entire family would also be implicated. She turned pale and trembled all over.

"Brother, she was the one who insulted me first. The last time I entered the palace, Baili Yue asked me to play the piano. I played for several hours and my fingers became red and swollen. They are still hurting now."

"I just wanted to teach her a lesson."

Rong Mingxuan looked at her calmly with a cold gaze. He flicked his sleeves lightly, and Rong Wanling staggered and took a few steps back.

"Brother, I know I was wrong and shouldn't have acted on my own." Rong Wanling was extremely scared. If her uncle knew about this, he would definitely not let her off easily and would directly hand her over to the government.

No, she didn't want to die yet.

"Do you know where you went wrong?" Rong Mingxuan asked coldly.

Rong Wanling's face was filled with tears as she nodded and said, "I shouldn't have attacked the princess, nor should I have brought trouble to the family."

As the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, if the news of her murdering the princess spreads, it will cause great damage to the family's reputation.

Rong Mingxuan's eyes became even colder. "No, you are wrong because you are not smart enough. If you want to do it, you must leave no trace and not let anyone find any clues."

"Your mistake is that you didn't solve the problem completely. Only by completely eliminating the threat can you ensure safety."

Hearing these words, Rong Wanling was stunned and her tears stopped.

Rong Mingxuan retracted his gaze and said coldly: "Now, do you understand your mistake?"

Rong Wanling's whole body was trembling, and she seemed to suddenly understand something. Her eyes gradually became as cold as her brother's.

Yes, leaving evidence behind will eventually expose it. Her mistake was that she did not solve the problem thoroughly. If she had done it cleanly, no one would have known it was her.

Seeing that his sister had understood, Rong Mingxuan put away his stern attitude.

Although my sister is stupid and jealous, she is very important to the Duke's Mansion. She must become an imperial concubine so that she can ascend the throne of queen in the future, thus consolidating the position of the Duke's Mansion.

Today, the Duke's Mansion seems glorious and prominent, but in fact it has aroused the emperor's vigilance. He is worried that they will seize power and rebel, and the emperor is plotting to weaken their power.

The emperor has summoned the former tutor, apparently to discuss countermeasures.

Rong Mingxuan took a deep breath and said calmly, "I have already dealt with that person."

"Brother..." Rong Wanling's heart trembled, and a light flashed in her eyes.

Since she was a child, she has always admired her brother, who can always solve all problems. Now that she has her brother's help, she can finally rest assured.

"But..." Rong Mingxuan paused and said with a serious look, "What you arranged did not succeed. The Thirteenth Princess has been protected by the people in the Su Mansion, and some spies are searching for clues in the capital."

Hearing this, Rong Wanling's heart tightened and she felt a chill. What she had planned did not go as she wished, and the Su Mansion once again became a thorn in her side.

At the same time, she was secretly glad that if her brother had not dealt with the trouble in time, she might have been implicated. Once the matter was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Brother, I know I was wrong, and I promise I will never do anything wrong again." Rong Wanling quickly expressed her opinion.

"I hope so!" Rong Mingxuan snorted coldly, "Now you should get into the sight of the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince as soon as possible."
