Following the information provided by the system, Lou Kui drew the location of the gold mine for Fei Yu.

He also told him that if possible, it would be best to win over Chen Ke.

Shen Ke has a base in Southeast Asia, and he might even be able to find some iron ore and coal mines.

Fei Yu listened attentively and took the initiative to arrange for people to contact Shen Ke several times.

However, Shen Ke was very clever. Although he associated with Fei Yu's people, he never fell into their traps and always expressed his gratitude to Princess Ling and the Crown Prince.

This also means that he has already pledged allegiance to the Crown Prince.

Fei Yu's expression darkened upon hearing his subordinate's report.

He waved his hand, "Since he has pledged allegiance to the Crown Prince, there's no need to try to win him over anymore."

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. If it weren't for Lou Kui causing him and Qingyou to fall out, Qingyou would have been the one who saved Shen Ke, and he would have been the one to repay the favor. Fei Chen would never have gotten a chance.

He felt nothing but disgust for Lou Kui.

He never touched Lou Kui again after seeing those portraits.

If Lou Kui weren't still useful, he would definitely make her wish she were dead.

Fei Yu couldn't help but drink quite a bit of wine, her mind filled with Qingyou, her image from childhood to adolescence becoming clearer and clearer.

On impulse, he ran to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to find Qingyou.

The steward made excuses, saying that the princess had gone out, but Fei Yu refused to leave, insisting on waiting to see Qingyou.

Upon hearing this, Qingyou went to the front hall on her own initiative.

Fei Yu was stunned when she saw the increasingly beautiful Qingyou walk in.

Qingyou raised an eyebrow. "What do you want from me?"

Fei Yu stood up and looked at her with deep affection. "Qingyou, I already know. Lou Kui deliberately created conflict for us and ruined our relationship."

"I know I wronged you, and I apologize."

He looked at her hopefully, "Let's make up, okay?"

Qingyou looked at him coldly, "Not good."

"Ever since you trusted Lou Kui and drifted further and further apart from me, I have never thought of making up with you."

Fei Yu said painfully, "I already know I was wrong, can't you give me another chance?"

He has always had feelings for Qingyou, so how could she be so heartless?

Qingyou shook her head. "I gave you the chance long ago, but you said that if I didn't change my ways, I shouldn't look for you again, because of Lou Kui."

"So we've had nothing to do with each other for a long time, let alone reconciled."

She then gave him the order to leave, saying, "Third Prince, you are not welcome in my home. You should leave."

Fei Yu stared at her intently. "Are you really going to be this heartless? You used to love me so much, can you really let go?"

Qingyou scoffed, "If you can be ruthless, why can't I?"

"You said it was all in the past. I like Fei Chen now, and I've been indifferent to you for a long time."

"Besides, it was just youthful ignorance and chasing after things. You don't need to take it to heart."

In the original owner's life, Fei Yu was quite ruthless towards her; he's a hypocrite.

Upon hearing these words, Fei Yu's face was filled with anger. "I don't believe it. I don't believe you've fallen for someone else so quickly."

Qingyou looked at him coldly, "I have no feelings for you anymore, so how can I talk about falling in love with someone else?"

"What Fei Chen can give me is something you can't do at all, so don't bother me anymore."

Fei Yu frowned. "What he gave you, I can give you too."

Qingyou raised an eyebrow again, "He can be with me for life, can you?"

"He has never had a concubine or maidservant, and he won't touch any woman other than me. Can you do that?"

"He would never take his anger out on me for other men or women, let alone have an affair with the person I hate the most."

"You can't do any of these things."

"Fei Yu, so what makes you think you can compare to Fei Chen? What makes you think I'll come back to you?"

"I'm not mentally ill."

After saying that, Qingyou turned around and left, saying, "You should hurry up and go find your beloved. I won't keep you here."

Fei Yu tried to grab her hand, but was blocked by a suddenly appearing guard.

"I urge the Third Prince to show some self-respect."

Fei Yu's expression changed again when she saw these people.

He knew that this was his father's secret guard, and the fact that she had been protecting Qingyou showed how much she was favored.

I felt even more upset.

On one hand, she was angry at Qingyou for being so heartless and cruel, and on the other hand, she resented Lou Kui and hated Fei Chen even more.

Why should someone who is about to die stay alive?

Since death is inevitable, let's just go back to the original path.

Regardless of whether he would do it himself, he immediately had someone in mind.

After returning home, Fei Yu continued drinking, constantly calling out Qingyou's name and expressing his dislike for Fei Chen.

He deliberately let Lou Kui, who happened to be looking for him, overhear.

Lou Kui was furious.

That jerk is such a jerk; everything he can't have is always better.

If she had known, she wouldn't have let him succeed so quickly.

Back in her own courtyard, Lou Kui grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her hatred for Qingyou reached its peak.

"System, can I exchange for another talisman?"

System: "Yes".

A ruthless glint appeared in Lou Kui's eyes. "Then I'll exchange it for a bad luck charm."

System: "Master, just a reminder, Min Qingyou's luck is currently booming, and she has also learned metaphysics, so the bad luck charm may not be very effective and may even be neutralized by her."

Lou Kui shook her head, "I'm not giving it to Min Qingyou, but to Fei Chen."

She had tried to seduce Fei Chen before, but not only did she fail, she was also mercilessly ridiculed and mocked by him.

Judging from her expression, it was more like she was looking at some kind of bedbug, which she simply couldn't stand.

Fei Chen's favorability towards her was negative 100, making it impossible to raise it.

If that's the case, then go die.
