Chapter 216
The two brothers were so engrossed in their own emotions that neither of them noticed a figure standing quietly outside the study door, carrying a food box.
That was Chen Qinxue, who had come to bring Chen Mohan some snacks again.
It had become a habit for her to deliver snacks to Chen Mohan and Chen Liehu, and the guards and servants in the two brothers' courtyards never stopped her.
Chen Qinxue could come and go freely between the two brothers, or rather, throughout the entire Marquis of Anding's residence, without needing to announce her arrival.
It was this boundless freedom that allowed Chen Qinxue to overhear the entire conversation between the two.
Rong Rong was hidden by the Crown Prince in a villa on the outskirts of the capital!
In the pitch-black courtyard, under the cold, pale moonlight, Chen Qinxue's gloomy face resembled that of a demon.
Her eyes seemed to be filled with deadly poison; if anyone were to meet her gaze at that moment, they would probably be terrified and feel a chill run down their spine.
I hate it!
Chen Qinxue gritted her teeth until they crunched.
She couldn't understand why Rong Rong was so lucky. Why could she always easily get things that others had to work hard to obtain?
He was loved by the entire Marquis of Anding Mansion, loved by the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, and now, even favored by the Crown Prince!
That's unfair! That's unfair!
She died so tragically in her past life! In this life, Rong Rong shouldn't even think about living a good life!
Chen Qinxue glanced deeply at the study door, then turned and quietly left.
The hatred in her heart almost annihilated her. This hatred needed to be vented fiercely. Chen Qinxue gradually quickened her pace. This time, the other party would definitely not be able to escape this calamity again!
Chen Qinxue returned to the courtyard and called Hongying over to give her some instructions.
Hongying looked surprised, but still obediently did as Chen Qinxue said.
A sudden clap of thunder echoed across the sky, and dark clouds rolled in, as if something terrible was about to happen.
A sudden downpour struck at night, disturbing Rongrong's sleep. She didn't wake up until noon the next day.
The maids bustled around serving Rongrong her breakfast. They ate at a stone table in the courtyard, which Rongrong liked. In the cool autumn, the air in the courtyard was fresh, which made her feel much better while eating.
Rong Rong had just finished eating when the courtyard gate was kicked open and a group of people barged in.
"Your Highness, His Highness has indeed hidden a vixen here!"
Before she even got close, the old woman's stern voice boomed through the quiet courtyard, accompanied by the clanging of swords clashing.
The maid trembled and knelt on the ground, crying, "Crown Princess!"
Rong Rong looked on curiously and saw that the servants on the estate were fighting fiercely with someone, while at the door, a dozen maids and servants were escorting a beautiful woman in palace attire as she slowly walked in.
The distance was quite far, and she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but the imposing aura emanating from them was still clearly conveyed.
Troublesome and dangerous, that was Rong Rong's first thought. It seemed she needed to wake up 666 ahead of schedule.
Rong Rong frowned in distress.
In the distance, the Crown Princess's face was solemn, appearing neither happy nor sad.
Last night, someone secretly passed her a message saying that the Crown Prince was hiding a beauty in his villa in the suburbs of Beijing, and that the Crown Prince had promised to make her his future empress.
The Crown Princess found it all absurd and laughable; no one could challenge the Li family's position as Empress!
The Crown Prince is sensible and knows what is in his best interest. He would never be so foolish as to appoint a woman with no background as Empress!
The Crown Princess was certain of this; she understood the Crown Prince, a qualified, rational, and even cold-blooded heir to the royal family.
The message came from Miss Chen Qinxue of the Marquis of Anding's mansion. She guessed that the other party deliberately mentioned the Empress's position to provoke her so that she could use Chen Qinxue to get rid of the woman hidden by the Crown Prince.
Hmph! How dare she think she's so clever! Does Chen Qinxue really think that just because the women at the villa have an accident, she's safe and sound, and can even enter the Crown Prince's harem?
What a joke! In the end, nothing will happen to her except that she has the Li family backing her up, while Chen Qinxue will only suffer a more miserable death!
You ruined the Crown Prince's plans and still expect to live a good life? You're dreaming!
The Crown Princess sneered; in her eyes, Chen Qinxue was already a dead person.
However, she also had to thank Chen Qinxue for telling her that the Crown Prince was hiding a woman.
The Crown Prince must dote on that woman so much that he dares not bring her before him or bring her back to his residence.
Is the Crown Prince afraid that his own backyard will devour people alive?
The Crown Princess shook her head. Whether the other person lived or died was none of her concern, nor did she care whether the Crown Prince loved him or not. Her marriage to the Crown Prince was originally an alliance of interests.
As long as she holds onto her position, she'll just watch the women below fight to the death as a form of entertainment.
The reason she came here and got angry was, of course, because of the Crown Prince's irrational behavior.
The Crown Prince may fall in love! He may dote on a woman! But he must never allow that woman to tarnish his reputation or ruin his future at this crucial moment in the struggle for the throne!
His Highness the Crown Prince is indulging in women and keeping a mistress! This is utterly absurd! This is handing the enemy ammunition against him!
Anger surged in the Crown Princess's eyes. No matter how much the Crown Prince doted on that woman or how much he couldn't bear to see her suffer, she was determined to bring her back to the manor.
As for whether the other person will be devoured by the women in his harem? She doesn't care! If the Crown Prince truly loves her, can't he even protect a woman? If he can't, then the Crown Prince is stupid and deserves it!
In those few short steps, the Crown Princess thought of many things, but her anger and all her plans were shattered in a single glance, in an instant.
The Crown Princess suddenly stopped in her tracks, staring blankly at the woman sitting at the stone table not far away.
There was only one thought in my mind.
The Crown Prince is amazing; he actually hid a fairy!
Yes, the Crown Princess didn't think the beauty in front of her was an ordinary person. How could an ordinary person be so beautiful?
At this moment, in the Crown Princess's eyes, the clear sky and the misty, beautiful distant mountains, which were usually extremely beautiful and poetic, were not as captivating as the lively eyes of the beautiful woman.
The beauty's clear eyes were like bright lake water, sparkling and crystal clear.
Being gazed upon by such beautiful eyes, the Crown Princess felt an inexplicable joy welling up in her heart.
She instantly smiled and said, "Little sister."
He happily sat down next to the beauty, took her delicate hand in his, and touched it tenderly again and again.
"Huh?" Rong Rong looked at the Crown Princess in surprise.
The servants around the Crown Princess were still staring blankly at Rong Rong. Only the old nanny who had been there the first time came to her senses. She was the Crown Princess's wet nurse and had watched her grow up since she was a child. She knew the Crown Princess very well.
She watched as the Crown Princess intimately cuddled with the woman the Crown Prince was hiding, coughed lightly, said nothing, and stood quietly to the side as if she hadn't seen anything.
"What? The Crown Prince kidnapped you and wanted to force and bully you?"
The Crown Princess angrily slammed her hand on the stone table, making a loud banging sound.
"Doesn't your hand hurt?" Rong Rong looked at the Crown Princess's still fair hand with a puzzled expression. It wasn't red at all. If it were her, she would have been in excruciating pain by now.
The Crown Princess froze instantly. Could she say that she had been tough and thick-skinned since childhood and had grown up practicing martial arts like a man?
Of course not! How could I let a beautiful woman know that I'm so rough around the edges?
Soon the Crown Princess cried out, "Ouch!"
Rong Rong quickly turned the Crown Princess's hand over to examine it.
"I heard that blowing on it will make the pain go away, is that true?" The Crown Princess looked at Rong Rong pitifully.
Rong Rong blinked, wondering if her memory was confused. At first, did she see a Crown Princess with an intimidating aura and a cold and stern face?
