Thinking of this, Prince Duan felt unhappy.
"Don't worry about Qian Jue," he regained his composure and warned Yuan Can, "Remember, don't show that you know Qian Jue in front of the princess."
Yuan Can naturally understood that if Qian Jue's identity was revealed, it would definitely implicate Prince Duan.
He nodded, his tone regretful.
"But if Qian Jue really wins the heart of the princess, our plan will not be able to move forward."
"That may not be the case," Prince Duan picked up the tea and blew slowly, "The princess is just looking for a temporary novelty. Do you think Qian Jue will be kind to her given his personality?"
Even Yuan Can despises Feng Qingqing, let alone a gifted child like Qian Jue.
"Think carefully about whether there is anything you didn't learn well today. I'll go meet Qian Jue."
He had to try to find out indirectly what Qian Jue's purpose was in coming here.
…
Qian Jue finished his pleasant bath, put on clean clothes and sat on the chaise longue.
The two servants waiting nearby hurried forward with the fruit, "Sir, this is what the princess asked us to bring to you."
Qian Jue glanced at the fruit and raised his chin, "Put it on the table."
The servant answered yes and walked over to him to fan him.
At this moment, footsteps were heard at the door.
Qian Jue curled his lips imperceptibly.
Some people can't sit still anymore.
He played with the fruit in his hand and looked at the door lazily.
Prince Duan came striding over with a veil on his face.
Looking at Qian Jue's comfortable look, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
As he stepped into the house, the coldness in his eyes became even stronger.
The weather is hot nowadays, and if you want to cool down the house, you have to put a lot of ice.
There wasn't much space in his room. As soon as Qian Jue walked to the door, he could feel the cool air coming, driving away the summer heat and refreshing his heart.
"Sir, are you used to it?"
Prince Duan walked into the room and asked in a low voice.
Qian Jue threw the fruit he was playing with back onto the plate, raised his eyelids lazily and asked the servant who was fanning him behind him.
"Who is this person who is speaking? Your princess's legal husband?"
The servant quickly replied, "Sir, that's not the case. The princess has no husband, nor does she have a concubine. This is Master Yu."
"He acted like a master, and I thought he was the princess's husband. But it turns out he's just an unofficial male concubine."
Qian Jue's calm tone made Prince Duan's expression change.
He waved his hand to signal the two servants to retreat, but the two men looked at Qian Jue and did not move.
Before, they thought that Young Master Yu was special to the princess, but now, compared with the new young master, the new young master still wins the princess's heart more.
Just by looking at the accommodation arranged by the princess and the gifts sent, it is immediately clear who the princess likes more.
As servants, they naturally understand the principle of seeking profit and avoiding harm.
"I want you to step back. I have something to say to your young master."
Prince Duan raised his voice a few notches, with a look of deep displeasure on his face.
"You guys go down."
Qian Jue spoke, and the two men immediately bowed and retreated, closing the door behind them.
There was no one else in the room, so Prince Duan walked to the chair next to Qian Jue and sat down, saying coldly.
"Young Master, you are such a handsome man, why do you want to come to the Princess's mansion to be her male concubine?"
Qian Jue glanced at the veil on his face and sneered:
"You're a male concubine, so don't bring me into this. Do you think I won't recognize you if you wear a veil? If you want to test my purpose in coming to the Princess's residence, just ask directly."
He had expected Prince Duan to come to him, and he had no intention of pretending to be ignorant with Prince Duan.
"Mr. Qian has good eyesight."
Prince Duan took off his veil with a forced smile, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Qian very much."
"Don't be so pretentious," Qian Jue curled his lips and said sarcastically, "You didn't act like you were here to thank me."
"Master Qian came to the Princess's residence because of those two hostages?"
"Who said I did it for them?"
Qian Jue sat up straight, "I just felt that Tianqi was boring, so I wanted to come to Li Country to have some fun."
He looked at Prince Duan with a half-smile and said, "You don't have to be nervous. The princess is left for you to enjoy. I won't fight with you."
Prince Duan: “…”
He spoke as if he cared about Feng Qingqing a lot.
But does Qian Jue only recognize his face, or does he know his identity as Prince Duan?
Prince Duan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking in his mind how to test whether Qian Jue knew about his identity as Prince Duan.
"Mr. Qian is from Tianqi, don't you want to rescue the two captives?"
"What's the point of saving them?"
Qian Jue said seriously, "They are eating, drinking and sleeping well in the Princess's Mansion. They don't need me to save them. Besides, I am only here for myself, not for others."
Seeing that Qian Jue didn't seem to be lying, Prince Duan remained silent for a long time.
"The princess harbors hatred for them. If they lose their value, they will be in danger. Young Master Qian, aren't you worried that something bad will happen to them? You won't be able to explain to Emperor Tianqi?"
"Prince Duan is very worried about their safety?"
The light words stirred up a storm in Prince Duan's heart.
Qian Jue knew that he was Prince Duan?
Seeing that he was very surprised, Qian Jue chuckled.
"Don't panic, I didn't tell Empress Xian and the little princess that you are Prince Duan."
Prince Duan stared at Qian Jue suspiciously without saying a word.
Since Qian Jue knew that he was Prince Duan, why didn't he tell the two of them, or tell the princess?
"You don't believe me?" Qian Jue sighed, "I've already told you that I came out just to see the scenery of Li Country. I have no right to interfere in the affairs of the royal family, so don't look at me with suspicion."
He did not tell the two that the person in front of them was Prince Duan, because they already knew the man's identity without him telling them.
"By the way," Qian Jue changed the subject, "If you want to touch these two during this period, don't blame the princess for knowing your identity."
He said seriously, "The little princess is so adorable, I can't bear to see her die."
Prince Duan's face darkened.
He knew that Qian Jue would never sit idly by.
"Mr. Qian, aren't you worried that your identity will be known by the princess?"
Qian Jue spread his hands and said, "What do I have to worry about? If my identity is known, I can ask the Queen for help in the name of Concubine Xian and the little princess. If your identity is exposed, there are only two outcomes: either death or being handed over to Tianqi. In fact, the result is death."
Prince Duan stood up and didn't want to continue the conversation.
Qian Jue was telling the truth, and he was now in a passive situation again.
Rather than saying it is now, it is better to say that he has always been the passive party since he came to Li Country.
"I can leave the little princess and Concubine Xian alone, but how can I trust you not to reveal my identity to others?"
"So what do you want?" Qian looked at Prince Duan desperately, the smile on his lips gradually widening. "Do you have a choice? You have no other choice except to trust me or kill me."
Seeing Prince Duan's face turning pale and blue, Qian Jue felt particularly relieved.
No wonder the little princess likes to choke people. It turns out that leaving others speechless is so much fun.
"I hope Mr. Qian will keep his word."
Prince Duan's face turned ashen and he walked away in anger.
He had no other choice except to bet that Qian would never reveal his identity to anyone.
Qian Jue would never be stupid enough to give him the chance to attack him.
