The name "Qingxinwan" was so common that it made everyone in the mansion envious.
"Blood Purple Rose" insisted on divorce, leaving Li Mufeng with no choice but to compromise, on the condition that she pray for a blessing for "Baojun County".
That day, "Blood Purple Rose" talking to herself terrified Li Mufeng, who thought she had gone mad with anger because of the divorce, which was why she was talking to herself.
Knowing that forcing things won't work, Li Mufeng decided to take it slow.
The matter of praying for rain is an irreversible human act. Li Mufeng was certain that "Blood Purple Rose" could not bring rain, so he agreed to her request.
I hope that through my own efforts, I can change the relationship between the two of them.
"I promise you, if you can truly bring rain, I will divorce you."
Conversely, if you can't get what you want, let's live our lives happily together and never mention divorce again, okay?
Li Mufeng spoke in a tone that was almost like a suggestion, so "Xue Ziwei" could only nod. Anyway, she would definitely beg for rain, so what was the harm in agreeing?
Having made up her mind, "Blood Purple Rose" raised her eyes.
“Since we are getting a divorce, we can’t live together. I want a courtyard. After the divorce, we can go our separate ways. I can’t live with the prince forever; that would ruin my reputation.”
"Your reputation is ruined. From the moment you married me, no one will ever consider you innocent again."
Li Mufeng shook his head.
“I don’t care, I must have my own courtyard. The Prince’s mansion is so big, I’m sure the Prince won’t be too stingy. Otherwise, I can go back to the Prime Minister’s mansion to live.”
With "Blood Purple Rose" speaking in an uncompromising tone, Li Mufeng compromised again. As long as she stayed in the Prince's mansion and could still see him, and by showing him some courtesy, she might give up the idea of divorce.
Li Mufeng nodded.
“Yes, there is a vacant courtyard next to my Bamboo Maple Garden. I will have it tidied up and give it to my beloved concubine to live in. It will be named ‘Qingxin Wan’.”
"Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone."
"Blood Purple Rose" looked helpless, lifting Li Mufeng's chin, but her gaze was somewhat cold.
"Your Highness, I have said before that I am a heartless person. Falling in love with me is destined to be tragic. Why do you have to do this?"
"I have died countless times, so what if I die? My beloved concubine is so alluring. If I miss this opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Thinking about their conversation a few days ago, "Blood Purple Rose" shook her head.
"Miss, why do you do this? Isn't a woman's life all about marrying a man she can entrust her life to?"
The prince seems truly fond of you, young lady. Why then do you keep him at arm's length?
Lily noticed that "Blood Purple Rose" was distracted and concluded that she was thinking about Li Mufeng, so she couldn't help but say something.
"Wrong. A woman's life doesn't necessarily depend on a man, but on herself. Only by relying on herself can she avoid betraying herself."
"A man's words are deceitful," he might make you happy today, but he can make other women happy tomorrow.
People in the royal family are even less trustworthy. From ancient times to the present, which emperor didn't have three wives and four concubines, or seventy-two consorts?
I'm not going to fight someone else for a man! I'd rather just lie down and relax.
"Blood Purple Rose" has her own twisted logic, which infuriates Lily.
"I can't argue with you, Miss. I'll go to the kitchen and see if the bird's nest porridge that the Prince ordered for you is ready."
"It was clearly the prince who was injured, yet he had people stew bird's nest porridge for the young lady every day. If it were me, I would have been moved long ago, but the young lady's heart is as hard as stone."
No, even if it were made of stone, it would have melted by now. The young lady has no heart at all.
Lily pouted and walked away, babbling on and on.
"No heart, yes, I never had a heart to begin with."
Looking at Lily's retreating figure, "Blood Purple Rose" shook her head.
"This little girl has quite a temper. I'm the one who wants a divorce, but she's furious."
Strolling in the back garden, "Blood Rose" noticed that no one was around and began to converse with the space spirit.
"Xiaoyou, what do you suggest I do to get the 'rain bomb' as soon as possible?"
"Of course it's about doing good deeds?"
Xiaoyou didn't hesitate at all.
"Good things? Where are there so many good things for me to do?"
"Blood Purple Rose" frowned, her glassy eyes scanning her surroundings. Seeing a maidservant walking towards them in the distance, she curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
"Can I trip someone up and then help them up?"
"Can't."
Xiaoyou was resolute.
"How about we throw one person into the water and then pull him out?"
"Blood Purple Rose," a former assassin, has no idea what a good thing is and keeps coming up with outrageous ideas.
"Master, can you please stop being so mean? Pushing someone into the water is a terrible thing. Even if you rescue them, it's still with ulterior motives. How can that be considered a good thing?"
You must do a good deed from the bottom of your heart.
Xiao You patiently explained, and "Blood Purple Rose" immediately looked crestfallen.
"Why is it so hard to do a good deed? It's better to kill someone."
If you kill ten people, you'll get a "rain bomb," and I guarantee I'll take care of it in a second.
"Your Highness, the young prince is looking for you."
Just as "Blood Purple Rose" was racking her brains for a good deed, a maid from afar approached.
"Young Master? What does he want with me?"
Upon seeing that the girl was Bing'er, a maid from Zhou Fengyun's palace, "Blood Purple Rose" became wary.
"Your Highness, the young prince said you are a nice person, so he took some of his pastries and said he wanted to share them with you."
The maid Bing'er lowered her head, seemingly feeling somewhat guilty.
"lead the way."
Despite her suspicions, "Blood Purple Rose" went with Bing'er, wanting to see "what tricks Zhou Fengyun was planning to play."
Ever since Li Mufeng named his courtyard "Qingxinwan", "Xue Ziwei" knew that Zhou Fengyun would definitely cause her trouble, after all, she wanted to climb into Li Mufeng's bed so badly.
So the better Li Mufeng treated her, the more frantic she became.
Why did you bring me here?
Bing'er followed them to a pond, where many lotus flowers were planted, their colors quite beautiful.
The pond water was crystal clear, and the fish in it could be seen with the naked eye, which intensified "Blood Purple Rose's" unease.
"Your Highness, you may not know this, but the young prince has a pitiful past. His parents died early, leaving him with no one to rely on. When he misses his parents, he comes to the pond to feed the fish..."
Bing'er spoke the truth, but "Blood Purple Rose" sensed something was amiss.
"Wait, you just said his parents died young? But didn't the prince also..."
Before the word "alive" could be finished, a "thump" was heard in the distance, followed by a child's innocent cry.
"Help...help me, help me, sob...help me, sob...Father..."
"Little Prince..."
Upon hearing this, "Blood Purple Rose" didn't bother to ask any further questions and jumped into the water with a "plop".
Upon seeing this, Bing'er curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
"It's done."
Then he yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Help! Help! The young prince has fallen into the water! The princess pushed the young prince into the water..."
At this moment, Li Mufeng was in the study discussing with Wang Feng how to avenge his mother. After all, the Empress had personally admitted that she had poisoned his mother, causing her to have a difficult childbirth.
"This time, I will make sure the Empress dies."
Li Mufeng's eyes were filled with hostility, while Wang Feng cupped his hands in greeting.
"Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely avenge Consort An. I will immediately arrange for people to collect evidence of the Empress's crimes."
Just as Wang Feng was about to leave, a servant rushed in, panting.
"Your Highness... Your Highness has been in trouble. Your Highness... Your Highness's Consort pushed... pushed the young prince into the pond."
"What?"
Li Mufeng was shocked and staggered. Wang Feng quickly supported him and shouted angrily:
"Nonsense! The Princess Consort is so kind, how could she harm the young prince? If you continue to spout nonsense, I will chop you down."
"This servant...this servant is not lying, Your Highness, please go and see for yourself!"
The servant was filled with trepidation, but Li Mufeng felt uncertain.
"Han Ziwei, you wouldn't be using Chen'er as a pretext for the divorce, would you...?"
