On the other side.

Qingyou and Feichen returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion together, where Eunuch Su announced the imperial decree.

The Duke and his wife were not surprised by this and accepted it calmly.

But the old lady and the second wife were taken aback.

What happened?

I finally saw that brat fall out with the Third Prince, how come she's hooked up with the Crown Prince in the blink of an eye?

How come that brat is so lucky?

The second wife regretted not having a daughter; otherwise, if she could marry the crown prince, their second wife's family wouldn't have had to endure so much.

After receiving the imperial decree, Qingyou and Feichen entered the palace together.

When they said they were going to report it, they weren't just joking.

When the spies from various households heard the news that the two had entered the palace, they all felt a pang of sympathy for the Fourth Prince.

The fourth prince panicked when he found out; he hadn't expected those two scoundrels to actually go to the palace to complain.

He could only pray that his father would not listen to their complaints and instigation this time and send him to the frontier for training.

But the fourth prince was destined to be disappointed.

An hour later, an imperial edict was delivered to the Fourth Prince's residence.

The imperial edict first reprimanded the fourth prince, and then announced that he would be sent to the frontier for training.

The date has been set; we can go in three days.

The fourth prince was completely stunned after receiving the imperial edict.

Then a bitter feeling and anger arose. His father had actually listened to those two men's instigation and wanted to send him to the frontier for training.

Aren't you afraid he might get hurt on the frontier, or even have an accident?

Upon receiving the news, the other princes, besides feeling smug, were also quite envious and worried.

If the two most favored people are put together, won't the capital city eventually belong to them? How will they compete for that position then?

It's all the third brother's fault. He pushed Princess Ling directly to the Crown Prince for the sake of a man, which made the Crown Prince's bargaining chips even stronger.

The second prince and the others were now somewhat regretful, thinking they shouldn't have stirred things up earlier.

Princess Ling would be better off as the Third Prince's wife than the Crown Prince's wife.

The Third Prince's Residence.

Upon hearing the news that the Fourth Prince was to be sent to the frontier, Fei Yu couldn't help but smash up the study again.

It wasn't that she felt indignant on behalf of the fourth prince, but rather that she was furious at her father's favoritism.

He was even more furious at Qingyou's betrayal and the Crown Prince's smugness.

He had always known that his father doted on Qingyou, but he never expected that his father would not only make one of his own sons reflect in seclusion for Qingyou, but also send another of his own sons to the frontier.

He was now filled with regret, realizing he shouldn't have had a falling out with Qingyou, allowing the Crown Prince to take the opportunity to steal his woman away.

Thinking of what happened at the literary gathering today, and the way Qingyou and the Crown Prince held hands, his heart tightened with a painful ache.

Even if he did intend to use the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, he naturally had feelings for Qingyou.

He had long believed that Qingyou would be his princess consort.

Only after losing her did he realize that she could also choose to leave him.

Fei Yu was feeling irritable and depressed, so she had someone bring her some wine and kept drinking it down.

He didn't know how long he had been drinking, but he was half-lying on the soft couch.

When he closes his eyes, he can't help but think of Qingyou following behind him from childhood to adulthood, her every smile and joy.

He muttered to himself with a hint of anguish, "Qingyou, I will definitely get you back!"

Two more days passed.

The fourth prince sent a message to Lou Kui, requesting a meeting before leaving.

Qingyou also found out about this.

She called out to the system, "System, if I want to exchange for items, can I use them on other people, and can they be transferred?"

System: "Yes, host."

Qingyou smiled knowingly, "Then I'll exchange for the mind-reading ability and use it on the Fourth Prince tonight."

Tomorrow, let the Fourth Prince hear the true face of Lou Kui, whom he's been flattering.

The system also seemed to be watching the drama unfold with amusement, saying, "Host, your idea is absolutely brilliant!"

Qingyou smiled and said, "That's right."

The original owner wanted those people to see Lou Kui's true colors, so she naturally had to do as she was told.

The Fourth Prince is not going to return to the capital, so let him see Lou Kui's true colors tomorrow.

Let him know what kind of people he was sent to suffer on the frontier for.

A moment later, the system announced: "The mind-reading item has been successfully redeemed and has been applied to the Fourth Prince."

Qingyou nodded, "Well done!"

The Fourth Prince's Residence.

The fourth prince got drunk during the day and felt better after drinking a hangover soup in the evening.

When he got out of bed, he tripped and fell, hitting his head hard on the table.

The fourth prince was so agitated that he ordered the table to be chopped up and burned.

He wanted to go out for a walk to clear his head.

Then they heard the maid speak.

However, judging from the other person's appearance, they did not open their mouth.

The fourth prince was startled. He then walked around the mansion and heard many people expressing their worries about the future, as well as their veiled curses at him.

While he was angry, he also discovered a problem.

He suddenly gained the ability to read other people's minds.

The fourth prince suddenly changed his previous defeat and became spirited.

It seems even the heavens couldn't bear to see him go to waste, so they bestowed upon him special abilities.

With this ability, he would have no trouble making contributions on the frontier.

The fourth prince's eyes revealed a sense of determination. If he could achieve merit on the frontier, gain military power, and then understand his father's thoughts, would he still have to worry about not being able to seize the throne?

Once he's in that position, he'll definitely make Fei Chen and Min Qingyou pay.

As for those people in the mansion who were secretly cursing him, he had his guards make a note of it, and he would deal with them when he returned.

Otherwise, I'm afraid my father would find out and think that he was unhappy about being sent to the frontier, and that he was cruel and ruthless. That would be bad.

The next day, the fourth prince arrived at the restaurant first.
