"Mother, as the elder sister, there should be no problem for me to add dowry to my younger sister!" Lin Yimiao bit her lip and snatched Lin Chunhuan's dowry list angrily.

He muttered to himself, "That Zhang guy still wants to ride on my head, but he has no chance!"

The eldest lady still didn't understand why the argument turned to adding dowry. She was still confused about the things on the dowry list.

The number of loads has increased from 32 to 64!

Seeing this scene, Lin Chunhuan could only smile helplessly.

But she did not reject Lin Yimiao's kindness. After all, the person who would rely on these things to survive in the East Palace in the future was the real Fourth Miss Lin.

"Lin Si, don't be so complacent!"

Lin Yimiao glared at him and said, "You are no better than that Zhang family. After the wedding, you have to return all these things to me intact."

"If you're missing one of these, be careful that your future life will be difficult!"

In response, Lin Chunhuan just smiled disdainfully, "You want to take back what you gave away? How can such a good thing happen? If you don't mind being laughed at, go to the East Palace and ask for it."

"You... Lin Chunhuan, you think that just because you marry into the Eastern Palace, I can't do anything to you, right?!"

Lin Yimiao gnashed her teeth in anger, but Lin Chunhuan didn't care about her anger at all. "If you have the ability, then don't add any more dowry. Anyway, the prince must have me. Whether the dowry is more or less, it won't be a loss for me, nor will it hurt my food and clothing."

Seeing that the two sisters were arguing more and more fiercely, the King of Qin quickly stepped in and asked Marquis Yuanning to send Lin Chunhuan away. Only then did the situation in the main hall quiet down.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, a pigeon had already been released and flew towards the direction of the palace.

"So it seems that the two sisters in the Marquis' Mansion are really at odds with each other?"

The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a solemn expression, his brows furrowed tightly. The crown prince was beside him. The blood-stained man looked up at the crown prince and replied in a deep voice, "Indeed."

"Not only are they at odds, but half a year ago, two young ladies from the Marquis' Mansion fell into the water. I heard that it was Miss Lin who instigated it. That fourth young lady is not someone to be trifled with either, and she dragged the eldest young lady into the water as well, which is what caused her to become ill."

"When she fell into the water at the palace, the eldest girl hadn't fully recovered yet. Otherwise, she wouldn't have nearly lost her life after falling into the water... This kind of thing has happened many times before."

"Even the bracelet that the eldest daughter of the Lin family wore when she got married this time was probably snatched from the fourth daughter. When the eldest daughter got married, the fourth daughter, although nominally her biological sister, didn't even show up. This matter was discussed for a long time among the women in the capital."

"There's another matter, and that's the death of the fourth young lady's biological mother. It seems the eldest young lady of the Lin family was also involved in that incident. These two are sisters on the surface, but their private hatred is even stronger than that of enemies."

The Flying Guillotines are a force kept in secret by the emperor.

All they did were shady things, gathering information was just one of them. Besides, the Flying Guillotine was only loyal to the emperor and could not be bribed or communicated with, and other people could not even see him.

It is the force most trusted by the emperor.

Although there are not many people, each of them is a top player.

The emperor would hardly doubt the information he obtained from the Flying Guillotine.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the prince, "What do you think, Prince?"

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to think?" The Crown Prince raised his head, his eyes reddened. "Huanhuan has always had a miserable life. If it weren't for my acquaintance, she wouldn't even have the chance to be recognized as a legitimate daughter."

"But I also understand that your Majesty did not allow Huanhuan to become your Crown Princess because he was afraid she would collude with my elder sister and assist the King of Qin. Now that the facts are before us... Your Majesty's suspicions can be dispelled, right?"

Having failed to secure the position of Crown Princess, he had to compromise and welcome the one from the Zhang family into the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince was not in a good mood, and the Emperor did not dare to push him too hard.

He only sighed and said, "I do this for your own good. After all, Lin Si is a concubine's daughter. Even if you marry into the Eastern Palace, you may not be able to get the full support of the Marquis of Yuanning."

"There are not many people in the court who can compete with Marquis Yuanning, and General Zhang is one of them. Only by marrying his daughter will he..."

"Maybe not."

The Crown Prince stood up with a serious expression and said, "Father should know better than me what position Miss Zhang holds in the General's Mansion."

"Besides, if a ruler has to rely on his ministers for everything and needs women to maintain his rule, then there is no point in being a ruler at all. It's better not to be one!"

The emperor fell silent, his anger boiling in his chest for a long time. "Do you really think that this kingdom belongs to you?!"

"How dare you be so presumptuous!"

The prince sneered and knelt on the ground, his back straight. "This kingdom belongs to my father, and the world also belongs to my father. I, your son, have never dared to covet it."

The father and son parted on bad terms.

At night.

Lin Chunhuan had just sent away the Prince of Qin and his wife who had sneaked in. In name, the two of them were returning to Yuanning Mansion to visit the eldest lady, but in fact they had just finished dinner and sneaked into Tingshui Pavilion.

In other words, the place of Tingshui Pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides. As long as the road connecting to the courtyard is guarded, others cannot get close even if they have the ability to fly to the sky.

Otherwise, Lin Chunhuan really wouldn't dare to keep anyone.

She just didn't expect that she would run into a wet embrace right after she sent the person away. The damp air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol that made her squint.

"Oh my God, how did this person get in! Girl..."

Lu Fu was so surprised that she almost screamed. It was only when Lin Chunhuan saw the face clearly that he quickly stopped her from making any sound, "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, keep your voice down!"

"Tai...Prince..."

She was so shocked that she forgot what to say and stood there in a daze.

But the person in her arms seemed to be extremely drunk, pressing heavily on her.

"Your Highness... Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

After trying to call out twice and hearing a whimpering response, Lin Chunhuan quickly straightened the person up and said, "How did you get yourself into this state?"

"Shh..."

The prince put his finger to his lips, a smile still on his lips.

But at this moment, water was dripping onto the ground, even his hair was completely wet.

The water in autumn was freezing cold, and the prince was shivering with cold. His face was unnaturally pale, but he had drunk so much wine that his cheeks were slightly flushed.

That look...

In Lin Chunhuan’s own words, it is both forbidden and lustful!

Lin Chunhuan was so stunned that she didn't even notice when the prince grabbed her wrist. When she reacted, she had already fallen into his arms for the second time.
