"Qing'er, why are you so happy?" His voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying to restrain something, but his heart was already in turmoil. He tried to convince himself that it was just a coincidence, that he was too sensitive and thought too much. However, the uneasiness deep in his heart kept surging in his heart like a tide.

Xue Qing'er couldn't help but tremble, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and an elusive look of panic flashed across her originally calm face.

She hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, "Brother Xuan, it was the Crown Prince who wanted to summon me. I am naturally happy to receive this honor." Although she tried her best to remain calm during her words, her slightly hurried tone and wandering eyes clearly revealed her deep-seated uneasiness and uneasiness, as if some secret was being covered up.

How could one not be overjoyed when such supreme honor suddenly came to him? However, amidst this ecstasy, were there also some unknown and indescribable emotions hidden?

"Just Brother Xuan, please believe me! I definitely don't have those thoughts that you imagine." Even at this moment her mind was already in a mess and almost out of control.

When facing the important man in front of her, Zhao Yuxuan, she deeply understood that she must hold the last line of defense. No matter what, she must not let him have even the slightest misunderstanding or misinterpretation of her.

"So, you actually knew that the person living in the west wing was the Crown Prince, right?" Zhao Yuxuan's eyes became deeper and deeper, containing endless pain and disappointment.

Although he still tried desperately to deceive himself and comfort himself, praying that all this was not true and firmly believing that Xue Qing'er would never do such a thing; however, her face flushed with excitement and her sparkling eyes were like an extremely sharp sword, ruthlessly piercing his fragile fantasy and laying the truth nakedly before him.

"It's not like that, Brother Xuan, please listen to my explanation..." Xue Qing'er said anxiously, her eyes full of anxiety and grievance.

However, Zhao Yuxuan asked coldly, "Explain? How do you want to explain? If the person living in the west wing was not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, would you still go there in such a dangerous place?"

At the most dangerous moment, Xue Qing'er was thinking about other men instead of herself.

What does this situation mean?

Gusts of cool wind whistled past, carrying with them endless anger, and actually blew the hat off his head.

At this moment, Xue Qing'er's hesitation disappeared instantly when she saw his bald head. She no longer had any patience. "My Lord, you are right. I went there because I knew that the Crown Prince was in that room."

In fact, she only wanted to take advantage of the chaotic situation to find a good opportunity to show her presence in front of the prince. After all, as a man, if a beautiful woman comes to help him in a critical moment, he will definitely remember this "sharing weal and woe" friendship, and will also have a little more pity for her.

Just like Zhao Yuxuan in the past, when he fell into a low point of depression, she only needed to give him moderate care and consideration, and he would naturally be deeply touched.

However, Xue Qing'er knew very well that she was just a fake daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and now she was a widow...

How could the extremely noble Crown Prince set his eyes on her?

But Xue Qing'er didn't care about all this. In her opinion, emotions were such a wonderful thing that was really hard to grasp.

If a man truly loves you, he will never mind your background, and will even be willing to break through all the constraints and prejudices in the world for you.

"You... are so bold!" Zhao Yuxuan felt as if his heart was being pierced by countless sharp arrows. His eyes were bloodshot, and he almost wanted to eat her alive.

"Qing'er, why are you doing this? Where do you put the love between us? And how should our Brother Fan deal with it?"

Could it be that the vows they made to each other and the deep friendship they had shared had turned into a ridiculous farce?

Hearing this, Xue Qing'er's face instantly turned gloomy. "Uncle, please understand the situation. Brother Fan has already entered Prince Zhuang's mansion. There is no doubt that he is the legitimate eldest grandson of Prince Zhuang's mansion."

The word "uncle" was like an insurmountable gap, standing abruptly between the two of them, as if separating them completely.

Zhao Yuxuan was struck by lightning, and his heart ached as if pierced by thousands of arrows. He looked at the woman in front of him who was once extremely weak and gentle, and could now say such cold and ruthless words so decisively. This sudden change shocked him, and a raging anger burned in his heart.

"Princess, the time is almost up." The maid's cautious voice came from outside the door. Xue Qing'er no longer wanted to continue to entangle with Zhao Yuxuan. She said indifferently: "Uncle, I know in my heart that the reason you are close to me is nothing more than to borrow the power of the Xue family. If I can win the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, I will promise you a bright future. Is that okay?"

When Zhao Yuxuan heard this, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he stared at the person in front of him.

He could never have imagined that his sincere and deep feelings for her were just a means for her to gain the support of the Xue family! This perception was undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation for Zhao Yuxuan! He felt a tightness in his chest and could hardly breathe.

"Uncle, isn't this the truth?" Facing Zhao Yuxuan, whose emotions were as excited as a volcano erupting, Xue Qing'er was as calm as a pool of still water.

She knew clearly that this man seemed like a phoenix on a high branch, proud and arrogant, but in fact, he was like a hungry wolf, extremely eager for power and status. Thinking back to the past, the reason why he was attracted to her was nothing more than coveting the help that the Xue family behind her could bring.

Moreover, Zhao Yuxuan had another notable characteristic - although what he was thinking in his mind was clear, he chose to remain silent and insisted that others speak it out in person.

During the years they have been together, although he cared a lot about the power of the Xue family when he was with me, he never took the initiative to mention matters related to the Xue family.

Whenever he encountered a problem, if he didn't speak up first, he would definitely be unhappy.

He wanted to be the snowflake high in the sky, but didn't want to fall to the mortal world and be contaminated by the dust. How could there be such a good thing in the world that allows him to have the best of both worlds?

At this moment, beneath his seemingly humiliated appearance, he might be hiding a heart of secret joy. However, what the real situation is, I am afraid only he knows it best in his heart.

"Uncle, you'd better go out first! If we miss the chance to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince due to delay, then both of us will gain nothing. Wouldn't that be a loss of the big for the small?" A clear and cold voice came, causing Zhao Yuxuan to clench his fists involuntarily, as if he would throw a punch at any time to vent his anger.

He looked angry, as if he was about to hurt someone, but Xue Qing'er didn't care, because she knew that he would never really do it. Although his expression looked extremely painful, in fact, he was more hesitant in his heart.

Zhao Yuxuan, who always thinks highly of himself, will inevitably hesitate when faced with his future and his own interests. This means that in his eyes, power and status are far more important than himself.

Before Zhao Yuxuan could respond, Xue Qing'er had already walked around him and left without looking back.

As the door closed with a dull sound, Zhao Yuxuan finally realized that Qing'er had changed her mind. No, maybe from the beginning, she had never had any feelings for him.

I should have followed without hesitation and argued with him, but for some reason, my feet seemed to be under a spell and were completely out of control. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move an inch.

Yes, it's time for him to wake up from his head full of romantic fantasies. However, as Xue Qing'er said, for the benefit of the Zhao family and his own bright future, he had no choice but to endure it silently.

At this moment, Xue Jinhua and Wang stood side by side in front of the door. Although there was not much noise coming from the house, everything became clear to Xue Qing'er the moment she stepped out of the door.

"Sister, please don't worry, uncle is in there now." Xue Qing'er raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Sister, you left in such a hurry, won't you feel regret in the future?" There seemed to be deep meaning in her words, and how could someone as smart as Xue Qing'er not hear the hidden meaning?

But, what can I do? After all, I am about to become the prince's favorite. Even Xue Jinhua may not be able to change the situation, right?

I used to think that things that are out of reach and difficult to achieve must be the most beautiful things, but today I suddenly realized that what others have may not really be suitable for me...

Xue Qing'er unconsciously wrapped her clothes tightly, as if trying to resist the cold outside.

She leaned close to Xue Jinhua's ear and whispered softly, "Sister, from now on, you can rest assured! I will never covet the things that originally belonged to you."

Xue Jinhua smiled slightly, her eyes firm and calm.

She responded softly, "Sister, don't let your imagination run wild. Everything that truly belongs to me will always be with me, and no one else can take it away easily. If something can really be taken away, it means that it never belonged to me in the first place. Since I have given it to you, how can I take it back?"

Hearing this, Xue Qing'er's face instantly tensed up. She looked around uneasily, and after scanning the people in the room, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but the resentment in her heart was hard to calm down.

She clenched her teeth tightly and said indignantly: "I hope that after tonight, sister, you can still remain so free and easy."

"I also hope that when you wake up tomorrow morning, you won't feel any regrets, sister." Xue Jinhua's tone was still calm, but the deep meaning contained in it made people think deeply.

Xue Qing'er suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with resentment, and stared at Xue Jinhua.

She thought to herself: This woman is just jealous of everything she has.

Humph, this is so ridiculous!

"Then I am here to wish my sister all her wishes come true!"
