Everything that happened during this period was extremely unfavorable to Princess Pingnan and her family.
Although Princess Pingnan was confident she could kill Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan, it seemed too much trouble for the guards.
She sent quite a few men to kill Ye Junfei last night, but most of them died, which was a significant blow to her.
Ye Junfei's position as heir apparent was recorded in the royal register, and he also had an imperial edict. There were only two ways to depose him:
One is that Ye Junfei died.
Another was that the emperor issued an edict to abolish Ye Junfei's position.
Princess Pingnan has now realized that Ye Junfei has grown too powerful, and killing him will not be an easy task.
So she decided to prepare for both possibilities.
Although she felt that it might not be a good thing for Princess Anle, as a princess of a country, to marry into the Pingnan Prince's mansion.
However, she felt that Ye Jingxian's words made sense. Even if Princess Anle came to Liefeng Prefecture with impure intentions, as long as he gave birth to a child, she would definitely be drawn to the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.
Ye Jingxian's eyes lit up immediately: "Does Mother Consort agree to my marriage to Princess Anle?"
Princess Pingnan nodded: "Marrying him will be more beneficial than harmful. After he marries into the family and helps you become the heir apparent, if he disobeys, you can kill him then."
In her opinion, no matter how difficult Princess Anle was, she wouldn't be more difficult than Ye Junfei.
Ye Jingxian smiled and said, "Mother is right!"
He was initially displeased that the Princess of Pingnan had killed the beauty he admired, but now he felt that it was better that the beauty was dead, otherwise it would delay his marriage to Princess Anle.
After all, in his opinion, Princess Anle was not only prettier than the previous beauty, but also more powerful.
The mother and son reached a consensus on this matter and sat down to discuss how to marry Princess Anle.
Given Princess Anle's status, it wouldn't be easy for Ye Jingxian to marry her; he would first need Princess Anle's approval.
Ye Jingxian is currently injured, and he needs to recover so that he can see Princess Anle in his final moments.
Furthermore, he needed to make a series of preparations before meeting Princess Anle.
The mother and son discussed it for half an afternoon and finally came up with a rough idea.
After the discussion was settled, Princess Pingnan said coldly, "If Princess Anle wants to marry, then Ye Junfei must be killed."
“With him not in the palace, we have more opportunities to make our move.”
Ye Jingxian agreed with her method and said softly, "Mother, there's no need to be too angry. We don't need to take action ourselves in this matter."
"We can appropriately seek external assistance, after all, everyone in Liefeng Prefecture knows that the future King of Pingnan will only be me."
"As long as we release a little bit of information, there will definitely be plenty of people willing to work for me."
Princess Pingnan said with great satisfaction, "Xian'er has really grown up, and he is thinking more and more thoroughly now."
Lin Xiuyan was unaware of the schemes of the Princess Consort of Pingnan and her son, and she slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Junfei leaning against the bedside, looking at her.
After rubbing her eyes, she asked him, "What are you doing in my room?"
Ye Junfei looked at her and said, "Princess Consort, I am your husband. If I'm not in your room, where else can I go?"
He finished speaking and said with some grievance, "You said you would help me, but you ran away so quickly last night when something happened."
"I only said a few words to Wu Ge, and when I turned around, you were gone."
"I searched for you everywhere before I found out you were sleeping alone without me knowing."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
His words made her sound like a scumbag!
He was the one who secretly made a bet with Ye Qingwan yesterday without telling her.
She glanced at him and said, "Your Highness, can you please stop always turning the tables on me?"
Ye Junfei looked at her and said, "I will definitely tell you first if anything happens in the future."
“I suffered a great loss last night. Not only did I make you angry, but I also lost the five-colored rope you braided.”
"If I had told you earlier, and you had cooperated, I would have won."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She thought his focus was really bizarre.
She didn't want to talk to him!
She was about to get up and get dressed when Ye Junfei grabbed her outer garment before she could.
She looked at him, and he smiled and said, "To show my sincerity in admitting my mistake, I will be your personal servant for a day."
"Dressing is such a tiring job, how can I let my wife do it herself? I'll help you."
Lin Xiuyan: "...This job is really not tiring."
Ye Junfei smiled: "I told you before, there is a kind of tiredness in this world, which is when your husband thinks you are tired."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She was genuinely puzzled; how could he say such things with such self-assurance?
She remembered something and asked him, "Your Highness, when you were a hostage in the capital, were you the biggest playboy in the city?"
Ye Junfei shook his head: "Of course not, I'm just a pitiful little thing that anyone can bully."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
How dare he call himself a pitiful little thing?
Hehe!
She tried to snatch her clothes away, but he shook them open, gently draped them over her shoulders, and said tenderly, "Let me help you."
Lin Xiuyan glanced at him, knowing that was his nature, and let him be.
She originally thought that someone like him probably couldn't do things like serving others, but she didn't expect him to do it so well.
However, when he dressed her, the two inevitably had physical contact.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his fingertips always seemed to casually brush against her slender waist, past her collarbone, and across her ear.
Because they were so close, his breath brushed against her neck, intentionally or unintentionally.
She could clearly see the alluring red mole at the corner of his eye, the captivating allure of his peach blossom eyes, and the unparalleled charm emanating from his gaze.
Lin Xiuyan instinctively tried to back away, but the bed was right behind her, and when she tried to back away, she plopped down on it.
Ye Junfei raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Wife, are you inviting me to sleep with you?"
Lin Xiuyan realized that he knew he had done something wrong and was deliberately trying to seduce her.
Such extreme male beauty as him is simply too tempting. A woman with slightly weak willpower would probably pounce on him on the bed and tear off his clothes.
Lin Xiuyan felt that he shouldn't be indulged in this habit. At a time like this, even if it meant losing the game, it was absolutely not about losing the battle!
She took a deep breath and said, "The young master is truly a peerless beauty!"
"I just wonder where you learned your seductive skills? How many noble ladies in the capital can resist your charm?"
As she said this, she reached out and gently pinched his chin, asking, "How many noble ladies have you spent the night with?"
Ye Junfei chuckled softly: "Are you jealous?"
Lin Xiuyan blinked lightly: "Guess!"
Ye Junfei moved closer to her, his lips lightly brushing against hers, yet he seemed about to take hers in his mouth.
Lin Xiuyan suppressed the urge to back away and stared at him quietly with her almond-shaped eyes.
He breathed softly at her and said, "I don't want to guess. All I want right now is for you to kiss me."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
