"She was sent by the Eighth Prince to be Long Yao's concubine. He even said something like... a man should have three wives and four concubines."

Yue Jinyun added indignantly, "That's utter nonsense. This place is not good at all. Where we're from, it's all monogamy."

Chu Qingxuan frowned slightly as she listened to Yue Jinyun's words.

So the original drama was actually a time-travel drama?

No wonder she felt that Yue Jinyun's personality was not like that of a well-bred young lady from a prominent family here.

"If Long Yao dares to sleep with this woman named Mudan, he can forget about getting into my bed!"

Chu Qingxuan: "..."

It's clear that Yue Jinyun is jealous.

For a long time afterward, Chu Qingxuan listened to Yue Jinyun's complaints.

After a long pause, Yue Jinyun finally got to the point.

“Master Chu, I remember you said before that Long Hua wanted you to assassinate me, right?”

Chu Qingxuan nodded.

She told Yue Jinyun about this after the banquet and told her to be careful.

Yue Jinyun stroked her chin and said, "This Peony is one of Longhua's people, did you know that before?"

Chu Qingxuan didn't answer, but Yue Jinyun's question reminded her.

Since Long Hua was able to find her, he must have known about Peony.

Now, however, Peony has been sent to the Fourth Prince's residence by Long Hua...

"Yue Jinyun, did you see Peony before you were assassinated?"

Yue Jinyun replied, "No."

If she had seen it, she would definitely have forbidden Peony from entering the Fourth Prince's residence.

Chu Qingxuan asked again, "Do you still remember what the person who tried to assassinate you looked like? Even if you can't see their face clearly, you can still tell by their build."

Yue Jinyun thought about it carefully for a moment, then murmured, "Now that you mention it, the person who tried to assassinate me back then...was petite..."

Yue Jinyun suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Chu Qingxuan in shock, "You suspect..."

Chu Qingxuan nodded, "Yes, I'm also wondering why there's blood on my arm, and why Mudan's attitude changed after I went to prison."

“You just said that she was sent in by Long Hua, and that Long Hua ordered me to assassinate you, or rather, he never intended for me to do it at all. He originally wanted Mudan to complete the mission and then frame me.”

“He probably knows that Dongfang Hao often comes to see me. If something happens to me, Dongfang Hao and Long Yao will definitely have a conflict because of me, and then he can reap the benefits.”

And the peony is the key.

Peony was originally placed in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion by Long Hua.

After figuring things out, Chu Qingxuan said, "It seems I've been in a trap from the very beginning."

Chu Qingxuan touched her cheek; perhaps this was also related to the peony.

Yue Jinyun was also thinking about what Chu Qingxuan had just said. If it was really as Chu Qingxuan said, wouldn't Long Yao have let a wolf into the house?

Oh well, it's his own fault for being so lustful; he deserved to be schemed against.

I'm moving out tomorrow!

"Greetings, Fourth Imperial Consort."

Peony appeared in front of the two of them at some point. Yue Jinyun frowned and refused, "No, no, no, although I am engaged to the Fourth Prince, we are not married yet. Don't call me the Fourth Princess."

Peony smiled gently, "The Fourth Imperial Consort is only a matter of time, and it is only natural."

Yue Jinyun: "..."

I don't want to talk to you; your smile is so fake.

After Mudan finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Chu Qingxuan and asked with a smile, "This must be the General's wife, right?"

Chu Qingxuan looked coldly at the peony in front of her and replied, "No."
