Seeing that Chu Qingxuan's brows were furrowed, Dongfang Hao touched the center of her brow with his long, slender fingers and smoothed it out.
"Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Chu Qingxuan said, "Yes, but I can handle it by myself."
Dongfang Hao didn't force Chu Qingxuan. He said, "If you need my help, just let me know."
Chu Qingxuan nodded.
After that, Chu Qingxuan started going to the Yue residence every few days.
Why not go to the Fourth Prince's residence?
Because Yue Jinyun has already moved out of the Fourth Prince's residence.
Her reason was that she didn't want to see Long Yao.
After Long Yao returned to the Fourth Prince's residence, he saw that Yue Jinyun had moved out, but he did not come to the Yue residence to look for Yue Jinyun.
The two began a cold war.
Yue Jinyun grew increasingly disgusted with Mudan, especially since this Mudan was very likely the one who had tried to assassinate her.
Chu Qingxuan also wanted to know if Peony was the one who caused her disfigurement.
The two hit it off immediately and formed an alliance.
Chu Qingxuan and Yue Jinyun had someone follow Mudan and report back every three days.
A month has passed, and Peony has stayed in the Fourth Prince's residence every day without leaving.
Chu Qingxuan felt increasingly uneasy. Since Mudan was someone Long Hua had planted next to Long Yao, she would inevitably meet with Long Hua or pass messages to him.
Could it be that they guessed wrong?
Once, after Chu Qingxuan and Yue Jinyun finished learning the information, a man dressed in purple robes caught her attention; it was Long Hua.
Chu Qingxuan whispered to Yue Jinyun, "Don't move, it's the Eighth Prince, Long Hua."
Yue Jinyun turned to look around, but was stopped by Chu Qingxuan.
Long Hua sat down not far from them. After sitting down, he gently tapped the table, as if waiting for someone.
Time passed slowly, and Chu Qingxuan and Yue Jinyun finally met the person Long Hua was waiting for.
It is a peony.
She wore a cloak, completely concealing herself.
“You haven’t reported on Long Yao’s situation for a long time,” Long Hua said quietly.
Peony said, "I feel like someone is following me these days, so I don't think it's a good time to meet."
"I don't care. As long as Long Yao falls out of favor, I don't care if I die."
Since the war with the State of Chu ended, the Emperor has placed even greater emphasis on Long Yao. If things continue like this, he will never be able to become the Crown Prince.
He could no longer become emperor.
Peony said, "I know, but don't forget, you promised me your request."
Upon hearing this, Long Hua smiled and said, "I know, but... as I said before, as long as Dongfang Hao doesn't support Long Yao, then I can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Upon hearing this, Peony looked at Long Hua and said, "Back then, you tried to use Qingxuan from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion to sow discord between them, but you failed. Now, who do you plan to use?"
Long Hua shrugged. "I didn't expect Yue Jinyun to wake up so quickly."
Peony smiled disdainfully, "I helped you to that extent, and you still can't get the throne."
"That's not necessarily true."
He would accept anything as long as he could get that position.
"Return to the Fourth Prince's residence and continue to monitor Long Yao. Report to me immediately if there is any disturbance."
Peony glanced at Long Yao, then stood up. "I'm going back. Staying out too long will arouse suspicion."
After Mudan left, Chu Qingxuan and Yue Jinyun exchanged a glance.
It turns out that these two people really did all of this.
Chu Qingxuan's face darkened. What angered her even more was that Peony had set her sights on Dongfang Hao.
She even used her name to pester Dongfang Hao.
