"I had already thought of that. Song Tangli has always disliked me. During her pregnancy, she will definitely use her position to get rid of me as soon as possible to prevent future troubles."
This time, she won't be so weak. If she really comes to deal with me, I will definitely make her pay the price.
"I need you to do something for me. Tomorrow at 7 PM, take His Highness the Crown Prince to the alley at the street corner." Zhan Ming straightened up slightly before revealing the main purpose of his visit.
It's hard not to wonder what their purpose is. There's a lantern festival tomorrow, and getting the prince out wouldn't be difficult. But why did it have to be in a corner alley?
"You don't need to know the reason, just do as I say, but I guarantee it won't harm His Highness the Crown Prince in the slightest." To be honest, I'd rather Li Zhaoyun never came back.
"If possible, could you help me get rid of him?" Zhan Ming was slightly surprised. According to the scouts, he greatly admired this Crown Prince. How long had it been since then, and his attitude had changed so much?
"are you sure?"
If the secret agents wanted to kill the current emperor, they could do so; however, they never do anything that doesn't benefit them.
It is said that the Dark Gate is a force from another country. In order to take control of Yongfeng Kingdom as soon as possible, no one knows how many people are in the Dark Gate. Even though many people join every year, no one has dared to expose the location of the Dark Gate.
Zhan Ming has already taken countless lives, so he still has the ability to kill a mere unfavored crown prince.
"Let's forget about it for now."
She was worried that it would affect her. As the Crown Prince's concubine, she would have to be buried with the Crown Prince if he died.
"You're really infatuated with him. As far as I know, this Crown Prince is a complete fool. What is it about him that makes you so fascinated?"
His eyes widened, not because his thoughts had been exposed, but because he couldn't fathom how Li Zhaoyun could be so devoted to him.
"I don't love my Crown Prince, and I'd rather be as far away from them as possible. It's all because my sister has tried to get back at me time and time again." She just wanted to live a peaceful life and grow old with Xie Qianzhong.
"And I've also heard something very interesting. The current Left Chancellor is still young, and he has a very close personal relationship with you. Many people say that you two have already confessed your feelings for each other. Is that true?"
This Zhan Ming is truly remarkable; he can even find out about these things. No wonder everyone in Yongfeng Kingdom says they would rather offend the Emperor than offend the Dark Gate.
After talking with Zhan Ming, I was even more grateful that I had gotten to know the Dark Gate first, otherwise I would have repeated the same mistake.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Song Tangli nestled in Li Zhaoyun's arms, gently tapping his chin with her finger, looking quite content.
A few days later, her belly became even more noticeable, which made Li Zhaoyun extremely careful. He usually wouldn't let her get out of bed to walk around. However, he himself had also been enduring the hardship, as he hadn't been able to get close to Ali for so long.
"Your Highness, the floods have been quite severe lately. You mustn't go out, or Ali will be very worried."
Li Zhaoyun affectionately pinched her nose: "I know that Ali has always cared about me, but could you please stop targeting the Crown Princess? After all, she is your sister, and it would damage the reputation of the Crown Prince's residence if word got out..."
Song Tangli paused slightly. What kind of spell had she cast on him that made him suddenly speak to her?
She was indeed not someone to be kept. In the end, she was a vixen. Wasn't seducing so many men enough? Now even His Highness wanted to take her away from him.
“Your Highness, I will naturally treat my sister better in the future. However, Ali is currently pregnant and cannot be moved. My sister always speaks bluntly, which may hurt the child.”
Now, the only thing she can rely on is the child in her womb. Fortunately, she had an affair with that guard before, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten pregnant so quickly.
"It's just that Ali has repeatedly seen her sister and the Left Prime Minister getting too close, completely exceeding the proper distance between men and women."
Li Zhaoyun frowned again at the mention of Xie Qianzhong. He understood without Song Tangli saying it that Xie Qianzhong was ultimately different for him.
"Tomorrow I will go to the concubine's room and give her a good talking-to. As the Crown Princess, she is not allowed to have affairs with other men." Suddenly things have changed. The person who used to stick to his side and couldn't be driven away no longer cares about him. Even though they have been married for many days, she has not asked him to come and see her.
Could it be that she doesn't like him anymore?
Li Zhaoyun shook her head, dismissing the thought. She must have been in love with him; it was impossible for her to change so quickly. She remembered a palace banquet a few months ago, where she specially dressed up in a flamboyant and seductive outfit, just to attract his attention.
But when she wore plain clothes, she had a different meaning, which made him unable to resist. Just thinking about it made him feel restless, but he couldn't tell her because Song Tangli was in his arms.
"What is Your Highness thinking about?" Song Tangli pouted unhappily. "I called Your Highness several times but didn't respond. Could it be that you're thinking about another woman?"
Li Zhaoyun, feeling slightly embarrassed at being exposed, coughed a few times awkwardly: "It's getting late, I should go back now. You should take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just tell me. And try to avoid causing trouble in the future."
This is the second time. Tonight, I told him for the second time not to go looking for her anymore. What's so great about her? Why should everyone in the world revolve around her? Isn't it just because she's the legitimate daughter and therefore a cut above her? Why does she always have to be superior to her?
No, she can't stay any longer; she has to be dealt with tonight.
"Fang Jing."
A dark figure darted in through the window: "What is it?"
"Help me get rid of it..."
...
Night came exceptionally early tonight, as if it had foreseen that tonight would be extraordinary.
Under the thick darkness of night, a figure quietly approached the Crown Princess's residence, poked a hole in the window paper, blew in a wisp of smoke, and when the time was right, quietly pushed open the door and entered. Looking at the sleeping woman on the bed, the person gripped the dagger in their hand even tighter.
The man seemed to be struggling with something. After thinking for a long time, he was about to raise the dagger in his hand. At this critical moment, the person on the bed suddenly moved. She nimbly turned over, snatched the dagger from the man's hand, and held it to his neck.
This person smelled a scent emanating from the surroundings while fast asleep; it was sleeping gas. It seemed that Song Tangli had finally lost her temper and made a move against him.
"You!" The man in black was still in shock. The sleeping smoke was a special ability of the Dark Gate, something an ordinary person couldn't possibly resist. How could she...?
"Fang Jing." Without even removing his veil, one could tell who he was. Wasn't he the one who had repeatedly tried to harm her to repay her life-saving grace? In her previous life, Song Tangxue had suffered quite a few losses at the hands of this person.
