This day.

A beautiful girl came to Xinyan City.

They came to visit the Ye residence carrying a letter from the Emperor.

Ye Mu read the letter.

“Mu’er, this girl is the daughter of the Duke of Xin. You saw her when you were young.”

"I asked her to bring you some clothes. Please give her a good welcome."

Ye Qianqian found out.

He pursed his lips.

[Father's intentions are quite clear: he sees that Second Brother has grown up and wants to find him a wife!]

However, this lady seems quite well-educated and reasonable.

[Furthermore, she and the emperor were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, so there should be a strong emotional foundation between them.]

It all depends on whether these two people can seize this opportunity!

"Your subject, Chu Lian, greets Your Highness the Second Prince."

"Get up."

Ye Mu said with a smile.

"Don't be so formal. Stay here for a few days. This afternoon, I'll take you for a stroll around Xinyan City."

Chu Lian nodded.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

{all the best!}

After hearing this sentiment...

Ye Qianqian was stunned.

Wait! Why can I hear her thoughts?!

Laozi told me that I can only hear a villain's thoughts when they are detrimental to me. Could this person be a villain?

This is a little scary!

Rumor has it that the Duke of Xin's daughter is being very well-educated!

[How could he be a villain? Is he just another hypocritical, manipulative woman?]

This is interesting! I want to see what this woman is planning to do.

Originally, I was thinking of our childhood friendship.

Ye Mu intended to cultivate a relationship with Chu Lian.

Now, after hearing Ye Qianqian's true feelings...

Ye Mu was a little scared.

If it's bad for Ye Qianqian, then it will also be bad for yourself.

But the Chu Lian I remember is not such a terrible woman.

She has always been kind and good-natured, without any ulterior motives, let alone the intention to harm others.

How come you suddenly seem like a completely different person?

Or is this simply Chu Lian's nature?

Was he just pretending all along?

However, Ye Mu did not want to show it.

So he said to Chu Lian.

"Go and rest first."

"Um!"

{You little rascal! Watch me charm you to death this afternoon!}

[Holy crap! What's she plotting?!]

[She actually wants to seduce her brother, so why would she want to seduce him?!]

[My elder brother is currently highly valued by our father and may very well be the heir to the throne!]

Could it be that she has been bribed by the enemy country and is here specifically to harm my brother?

No, no, I must protect my brother! I think I'll insist on going for a walk with him this afternoon. I want to see what that old hag is up to!

Ye Mu believed that Ye Qianqian would not harm him.

Ye Qianqian must have heard Chu Lian's thoughts.

Ye Mu also wanted to know.

What is Chu Lian's purpose in approaching him like this?

At the same time, Ye Mu was also worried.

The Emperor could not hear Chu Lian's true feelings, nor did he know that the Chu Lian of today was no longer the innocent woman she once was.

Or did Father Emperor see through it, but for some reason, he was unable to say it?

That means Father Emperor is in danger right now?!

Ye Mu became anxious.

What Ye Mu thought of, Ye Qianqian also thought of.

No, I have to go back to the palace. If Father Emperor has been controlled by this woman, then our Great Yuan Dynasty will be in grave danger!

Ye Qianqian said immediately.

"I'm sleepy too, I'm going to take a nap!"

Go!

Little princess, only you can know what's going on now!

Hurry back and check if Father and Mother are alright.

Ye Qianqian had just returned to her room.

In a flash, he transformed into a gust of wind and flew away.

It only took a short while.

Ye Qianqian then returned to the Da Duan Palace.

In order to avoid being recognized.

Ye Qianqian made herself invisible.

Then we arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Ye Ling was reading the memorial to the throne.

Ye Qianqian looked at Ye Ling carefully.

He looked no different from usual.

Gao Yong walked in.

"Your Majesty, Consort Jin requests an audience."

"Let her in."

Consort Jin quickly entered.

Ye Qianqian also took a closer look at Consort Jin.

It's been more than a month since we last saw each other.

Consort Jin looked rosy-cheeked.

It's obvious at a glance that she was well cared for in the palace.

Consort Jin placed a bowl of ginseng soup on the table.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared ginseng soup. Please have some."

Ye Ling nodded.

He said this after drinking the ginseng soup.

"The ginseng soup that Jin'er cooked is quite delicious."

"Jin'er, every time I see you, I think of the little princess."

"Although Mu'er's memorials always mention that the little princess is doing well, I really want to go and see her in person. After I'm done with this busy period, you can accompany me and Qingzhi to Xinyan City."

Consort Jin nodded.

"Your Majesty, I obey."

Ye Qianqian was very touched.

[Waaaaah, does Father Emperor worry about me that much?]

However, Father Emperor seemed no different from usual, not at all like someone whose mind had been controlled by Chu Lian.

Ye Ling was taken aback after hearing Ye Qianqian's thoughts.

He immediately exchanged a glance with Consort Jin.

The two understood each other without saying a word.

He could hear Ye Qianqian's inner thoughts, but he couldn't see her.

It's obvious.

Ye Qianqian is in this place, but she has used magic to hide herself.
