Yan Fan was surprised and delighted, but said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I bow to you."
The emperor really did not play by the rules. He thought he had no chance to teach that rebellious son a lesson, but he did not expect the emperor to give him a chance to talk to him in person.
At this moment, Hongyi was completely unaware of this.
"The nanny sent a letter to your stepfather. I guess she's going to come to the palace to lecture you."
The man in white sat next to the man in red, holding a cup of tea and speaking lightly.
"Do you think he can enter the harem?"
Hongyi didn't care. He stretched lazily and then smiled with a smug look on his face.
"That old thing must be furious knowing that I'm so close to Concubine Xian and the others. But he can't do anything to me. It's so refreshing, so refreshing."
"Empress Xian and the others may not really believe you," Bai Yi said expressionlessly, pouring cold water on him. "If they were really that easy to fool, do you think you could live such a good life in the palace?"
The red-clothed girl picked up the tea, smiled and raised an eyebrow at the white-clothed girl, "As long as I want to please someone, there is nothing I can't please."
"Really? You haven't tried to please the Sixth Princess either. Five or six days have passed, and no one has come to see you."
The man in red's smile froze immediately, but soon returned to normal.
"Xiaobai, your chatter is boring. The Sixth Princess doesn't know that I'm a handsome man. If she knew, do you think she would still be so cold to me?"
Bai Yi thought about it seriously and nodded, "Yes, if you were a man, she probably wouldn't even come close to you."
It is said that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. The Sixth Princess and the Fifth Princess probably have the same mentality now.
"Just saying it's boring to chat with you."
The man in red curled his lips and suddenly heard footsteps approaching. He glanced at the man in white.
"You're right. I guess it's the old man who came to greet me personally."
As soon as the words were spoken, the voice of the nanny was heard outside.
"This servant greets the prince."
Yan Fan didn't even look at her, but walked past her and pushed open the door of the red-dressed room.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Yan Fan, with a face as dark as ink, slowly walked towards the two people in red and white, his eyes seemed as if he wanted to eat them alive.
"Oh, Prince Liang is a bit irritable. Would you like to send a royal physician to take a look at you and prescribe some medicine to reduce your internal heat?"
"Shut up."
Yan Fan slammed the table heavily and glared at the grinning man in red.
Considering that the nanny was still outside, he lowered his voice slightly.
"I asked you to fight for favor, but you didn't go to the emperor, but ran to Concubine Xian every day. Do you think she can favor you?"
"You don't understand this," the man in red lazily placed his hands on the table and looked up at Yan Fan. "No wonder you can't defeat the emperor. If I go directly to the emperor to compete for his favor, it would be like committing suicide. You'd better not use your stupid ideas to teach me."
Upon hearing this, Yan Fan's face became even gloomier, and the anger that he had suppressed rose up again.
"Judging from your attitude, you don't want the antidote to save your friend, right?"
Hongyi waved her hands quickly, "You still need the medicine. Although my words may be harsh, they are reasonable. Think about it yourself and see if it makes sense. Once I become close to Concubine Xian and the others, it will be easy for me to capture the Emperor."
"Do you really think so?"
Yan Fan stared at the man in red with suspicion.
"Of course," the man in red smiled and extended his hand, "My friend has been poisoned by you, and I've also boarded your pirate ship. Do you think I have any choice?"
"Yeah," Bai Yi cooperated and pretended to be in great pain. "Although his words were unpleasant, he did everything you asked him to do, didn't he?"
Yan Fan thought about it and felt that what the two said made sense, so he handed the medicine to Bai Yi.
"Here you go. If he doesn't make any progress before the poison takes effect next month, you can't even think of living anymore."
Since they were only friends in the same boat, if Bai Yi really died, he didn't believe that Hong Yi would dare to break up with him and cause him to lose his life as well.
Hongyi didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, so she changed the subject, "By the way, where is my sister buried?"
"Her affairs are none of your business."
Yan Fan frowned and warned Hongyi.
"Just do what you have to do."
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. You're really angry."
Hongyi played with the teacup on the table and said, "Take that nanny back and give me a new one."
"Change it? You think of the palace as your home, so you can change it if you want."
Yan Fan felt that he was really going to be pissed off to death by him.
"Can't you change it?"
The girl in red looked disappointed. "I was thinking of changing to someone younger. The girl locked up in the woodshed is good."
Yan Fan's expression changed slightly, and he flicked his sleeves and sat down on the chair.
"Everyone who enters the palace will be recorded. If you want to change, go and compete for favor. The emperor has you in his heart, so you can change however you want."
Hongyi took in his transformation and said, "Alright, I also think that girl is very pretty. It would be a pity to keep her locked up in the woodshed."
"You are a concubine now, so be careful about your behavior."
Yan Fan stood up and said, "Waiting for your good news. Your friend's life is in your hands. You'd better take care of yourself."
Hearing Yan Fan's footsteps fading away, the man in white glanced at the man in red.
"What's wrong with the man in the woodshed?"
"That person seems to have something to say to me."
The day before entering the palace, he accidentally entered the woodshed and saw the maid who was locked up in the woodshed. She was very agitated and he thought she was scared by him. Now he thinks that the girl seemed to want to say something but couldn't open her mouth.
Considering Yan Fan’s reaction just now, that maid must be related to something.
As for why Yan Fan didn't kill the maid, there is no way of knowing.
"I'll go call that nanny over and see if you can find out anything."
"Okay, call the people in and go to the Yan Mansion to find out what's going on."
He called the nanny in, and the man in white left the palace and headed towards Yan's mansion.
The nanny was called in and asked respectfully, "What are your instructions, Madam?"
"Who is the maid imprisoned in the woodshed of the Yan Mansion?"
"The maid from the woodshed?" The nanny looked at Hongyi in surprise. "That girl was your former maid. Because she stole your hairpin, you asked the prince to lock her up in the woodshed. Your Majesty, don't you remember?"
"I really don't remember. It turned out to be my former maid."
The red-clothed girl waved her hand to let her leave, thinking about Yan Fan's reaction just now.
Could it be that Yan Fan also forgot about that girl?
…
Yan Fan had indeed forgotten. He was busy looking for Hongyi to replace Yan Min'er and had no time to take care of that girl. Fortunately, Hongyi reminded him.
After getting off the carriage and entering the mansion, Yan Fan went straight to the woodshed.
I raised my hand and pushed open the door. The woodshed was empty and there was no one there.
At this time, Yan Zhenghai walked in from outside, "Dad, are you looking for the girl in the woodshed?"
"You let him go?"
Meeting Yan Fan's cold gaze, Yan Zhenghai hurriedly explained.
"No, that girl died. I had her thrown into a mass grave."
