But in the end, Shang Beiyu stopped.

If he were to kill the man she loves right in front of the young female bandit, they would become enemies for life, and even if they met again in the future, there would be no possibility of them becoming lovers.

“We are not destined to be together. In the end, we are still lacking some fate.” Shang Beiyu held the moon-shaped white stone in his hand and comforted himself in this way: “But it doesn’t matter. This place and this world don’t count. I will arrange everything.”

Three days after returning to Beijing.

Both the Ninth Prince's Mansion and the Marquis of Anping's Mansion were required to follow the rules and undergo fasting, bathing, and rest.

Ji Fengyao had greatly depleted her vital energy while refining the Body Tempering Pill, so she took this opportunity to recuperate properly.

On the third day, Shanyu Heye received a message from his secret guard that Ji Fengyao was feeling better, so he came to Huinuan Pavilion through the back door to visit her.

Seeing that Ji Fengyao's complexion was still somewhat pale, Shanyu Heye said, "Your Highness should also take care of your own safety. The Prince and we all rely on Your Highness's help. If you ruin your health, we will feel terrible."

"Hey, anything that can be solved with spiritual power isn't a problem," Ji Fengyao said with a grin, waving her hand dismissively. "I called you here today to ask how your work with Song Huiru is going. If it's going well, I mean, it's best to settle things sooner rather than later. Song Huiru is no pushover; she's strange. I'm worried that dragging it out will only make things worse and ruin your plans."

Shanyu Heye nodded: "Heye and the princess have the same idea. Although we are still a little short of time, I also think it is better to take action as soon as possible. I have noticed some strange changes in Song Huiru recently. The most obvious change is in her appearance and temperament, which is obviously better than before. It is as if she is being reborn. I am really uneasy about this."

Once a person begins to cultivate, doesn't that mean they embark on a path of transformation and transcendence from the mortal world?

“Alright, then I’ll be ready to cooperate with you at any time,” Ji Fengyao replied, and reminded her, “But you must also be careful. She has secretly hooked up with someone and is no longer an ordinary person. There are also likely experts lurking around her. Your actions must not be hesitant or head-on. You must be quick, ruthless, and accurate!”

Shanyu Heye smiled, a shrewd glint in his eyes: "I know, Your Highness."

The following day was the day when the Nine Princes finished their fast and were allowed to go out for activities.

Song Huiru patiently cultivated for several days in Huixiang, but her cultivation made no progress. However, she came up with a good way to obtain and trap Shang Xiye: substitute one thing for another!

The specific operation is also simple:

It was Shang Beiyu's men who seized the opportunity to help her, making the Ninth Prince mistake her for a bandit, and then consummating their relationship to secure her position in the Ninth Prince's mansion.

Then she would use this incident to slowly sow discord between the bandit and the Ninth Prince. Given the bandit's past behavior, he would definitely cause a huge uproar with the Ninth Prince.

Then, she will shower the Ninth Prince with concern and tenderness.

Under such circumstances, any man would choose the gentle and tender woman and despise the tigress-like bandit.

Song Huiru was in a good mood and dressed up in a flamboyant way, preparing to "bump into" Shang Xiye in the direction of the gate in the courtyard, and make her presence known to him first.

That day at the palace gate, her face was bruised and battered by the bandit.

The Ninth Prince must not have noticed the changes in her during this period.

Today she is dressed up in her finest attire, and the Ninth Prince will surely see that her beauty is no less than that of the bandit, thus erasing the memory of her disheveled appearance from his mind and leaving him with a good impression.
