Little Swallow said calmly, "Pull her out."

She and Yongqi sat down at the interrogation table, watching as the woman, her hands bound, was dragged in front of them. "You can all leave now. Leave this to me and the Fifth Prince."

"Yes." The guards knew that Xiao Yanzi and Yongqi were exceptionally capable, so they didn't dare to ask any more questions and obediently withdrew.

Little Swallow walked up to the woman first and examined her from head to toe. After the examination, her anger, which had subsided, surged again. "What a ruthless trick!"

She immediately picked up a bucket of water and poured it over the woman, who finally woke up.

A chill ran through her. "Looks like I'll have to add a little more."

Since she's going to die anyway, she naturally has to find ways to make things difficult for them!

She pretended to be frightened as she looked at Xiao Yanzi, trying to crawl to Yongqi's side. "Fifth Prince, save me! I don't want to die! I've given you my pure body, you can't let the princess beat me to death!"

"..." Yongqi was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Xiaoyanzi. "Stop talking nonsense and trying to pin charges on me. Xiaoyanzi won't believe your attempts to sow discord!"

"How could I lie? Are these marks on my body fake?"

Little Swallow sneered, "So you mean Yongqi took you but doesn't acknowledge it, and now he's even letting me kill you?"

"Princess, even if you kill me, you and the Fifth Prince can never go back to the way things were. Every time you want to make love, you will remember my existence!"

"You really think highly of yourself, huh? Do you really think you have that much influence?" Little Swallow squatted down in front of the woman, pinched her face, and smiled coldly.

"Everyone knows that Princess Feiyan has always advocated for a lifelong commitment to one person, but now that I'm here, your beautiful dream is naturally impossible to realize!"

"You know you're not going to make it, so you want to cause trouble for me and Yongqi before you die, right? But do you think I'd believe that?"

"Also, do you know you're pregnant?"

"……What?"

Upon hearing this, the woman froze on the spot, exclaiming, "Impossible!"

That man clearly gave her a contraceptive potion, how could she possibly...?

"How does your master intend to deal with us? Will he use you to sow discord between me and Yongqi, and then defeat us one by one? Or will he use the child in your womb to usurp the Aisin Gioro throne?"

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

"If you're determined to die, I have a thousand, ten thousand ways to make you die, but I won't! You dare seduce my man, so you'll know the price you pay for seducing him!"

Originally, she thought that since the woman enjoyed seducing men so much, she could go to a brothel and seduce as much as she wanted. However, doing so made her uncomfortable, so she changed her approach. "You drug him, and I'll drug you too. But you'll have to endure it yourself. I'll save you when you're about to die..."

"You...you have the guts to kill me!"

The poison had been removed from her mouth, and her hands and feet were bound; she had no way to die even if she wanted to.

Little Swallow stood up, smiled, and waved her hand. "I'm not capable enough, so I won't kill you! I need you to lure out the big fish behind your master! After all, as long as you live, he'll worry day and night that you'll betray him!"

Xiao Yanzi pressed Yongqi back into his chair, then sat in his lap, leaning against him, and said slowly, "Think it over. Do you want to cooperate with me and save your life, or wait for your master to come and silence you?"

The woman roared, "Forget about it! I would never betray my master! From the moment I agreed to take on this mission, I knew I was doomed!"

"What about your child? Are you really willing to take your child with you to die?"

"The child... the child was just an accident. This child should never have come into this world. He was a mistake!" Although she was also heartbroken and wanted to give birth to the child, she knew that given her current situation, even if the child was born, he wouldn't receive good care, and his biological father wouldn't protect him!

"What a loyal lackey!"

After hearing her speech, Xiao Yanzi clapped her hands and said, "Since that's the case, then you can go die."

As she spoke, she walked towards the woman, took out a pill, and handed it to her, making her swallow it. "Don't worry, it won't be long before you say goodbye to this world."

"Yongqi, have someone move her aside, then have someone impersonate her. She says she's willing to die, but her eyes still yearn for her master to come and save her. What a devoted woman, she just happened to meet a heartless man..."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Hopefully someone will come."

After Yongqi finished arranging things, he took Xiaoyanzi's hand and left the inner palace prison. Xiaoyanzi asked in a low voice, "After you came back, did those ministers make things difficult for you?"

“Those people are nothing to fear, and besides, my third and fourth brothers came back to help me later.”

That's right, the Third Prince Yongzhang and the Fourth Prince Yongcheng were sent back by Xiaoyanzi to help Yongqi.

"By the way, is there any lead on the person who saved Qing'er?"

Little Swallow shook her head. "There are still no clues. It's as if he suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

"Moreover, since he appeared, he has been sowing discord, and my brother is about to lose his temper."

“I suggested to the Emperor that he hold a wedding for my brother and Qing’er as soon as possible.”

Hearing this, Yongqi looked at Xiaoyanzi cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyanzi, what about us? Have your thoughts changed?"

Little Swallow sighed, "Let's go find the Emperor first and tell him our plan. Then, when we return to Shufangzhai, I'll tell you, okay?"

"Okay." Yongqi nodded, slightly excited.

The two hurried to the Qianqing Palace, where Emperor Qianlong happened to be listening to Yongzhang and Yongcheng report on the events of the past two days. "Your subject greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be well!"

After the two bowed, Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi told Qianlong their purpose. Qianlong nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will have Xiao Jian and Erkang keep an eye on this matter!"

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Yanzi quickly pulled Yongqi back to Shufangzhai.

When Xia Ziwei and the others saw them return, they went into the room without even saying hello. They were both shocked and mischievous, and obediently moved away from Xiao Yanzi's room to give them some space.

After entering Xiao Yanzi's room, Xiao Yanzi took Yongqi's hand and walked to the desk, saying softly, "After what happened these past two days, I've actually figured it out. Since I've made up my mind about you, what's meant to happen will happen. Besides, I really don't want any more accidents to happen."

If someone says, "You two aren't married yet, so it doesn't count," and you get back at them, that would be a disaster.

"So, Yongqi, let's get married after my brother and Qing'er's wedding. No matter what happens after we get married, I'll face it with you."

After hearing Xiao Yanzi's words, Yongqi hugged her tightly, extremely excited, "Xiao Yanzi, I've finally waited for this day!"
