As he spoke, Murong Kui clenched her hands tightly under her wide sleeves, her nails digging into her flesh, yet she seemed oblivious to the pain.
A desolate smile flashed across her lips: "If she hadn't had no other choice, I don't think she would have wanted to do this!"
"You seem to know her very well?" Yu Shaoqing asked.
Then, changing the subject, he said, "What kind of person you are and what kind of life you live are all choices you can make."
"If you make the wrong choice, you can start over. But once you make a huge mistake, it's truly irreversible."
His words were cryptic and confusing to Ye Xuanling and Ling Shuang, but only Murong Kui understood them.
She smiled again, her eyes innocent like those of a naive little girl: "There aren't that many times when you have to start all over again. It's just an excuse to comfort people!"
...
After Ye Xuanling left, Nangong Anren felt very unhappy.
"Who does he think he is, daring to yell at me like that? Wasn't Ye Lisheng around before? Would that idiot have dared to be so arrogant?"
"Your Highness, why bother arguing with a fool? When the Crown Prince returns, make him abdicate in your favor, then find the Imperial Edict. Let's see if he still dares to be arrogant then."
"Where is the Crown Prince now?" he asked.
"Your Highness, last time our men alerted him, so he was on guard. This time he returned extremely cautiously and didn't reveal a single trace!"
"Where are the people we sent to keep an eye on him?"
"They've all been shaken off by His Highness the Crown Prince!"
He clutched his forehead, his head throbbing, and erupted like a volcano in an instant: "How did the idiots at the Football Association do their jobs?"
"How come you can't even keep an eye on a good-for-nothing?"
Seeing that his expression was getting worse and worse, Saren didn't dare to say anything more!
"Your Highness, this shows that His Highness the Crown Prince is not as simple as he appears!"
"Go and send some skilled men to bring his body back to me!"
Nangong Anren's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a vicious smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he emphasized the word "corpse"!
"Your Highness, what if we can't get the abdication document?" Saren voiced his concerns.
"What's there to be afraid of? Isn't there still that old codger?"
"No matter what happens, make him write a will of succession to me!"
Looking at his fierce appearance, Saren was a little scared. If this operation failed again, he didn't know what he would do to him!
...
Chunfeng Shili Shop has become a ruin. Mai Suer wanted to rebuild it, but was blocked by the soldiers!
The fat man sat on the rock with a look of disappointment on his face, exhaling a breath of stale air and saying, "I thought I had a home, but I never thought a fire would bring us back to where we were before!"
The three brothers let out a collective sigh of disappointment, a heavy atmosphere hanging over them.
"Is the eldest brother really the murderer of Prince Anyang?"
“Absolutely not!” the skinny man patted his chest and assured him, “Don’t let her quick temper fool you; she’s very friendly, so she’s definitely not the murderer.”
Skinny Monkey chimed in, "I also believe that the boss isn't the murderer."
Mai Su'er approached them with a look of surprise and said, "I heard someone broke into the Heavenly Prison, and Boss escaped too. Let's go find her!"
"How do we find it?" the fat man asked in return.
"Now there are officers and soldiers everywhere arresting the bosses."
"The boss is such a picky eater, I wonder if he's eating well!" Skinny Monkey whispered.
Looking at them, Mai Su'er felt a surge of anger: "What's wrong with you guys?"
"Could it be that our boss has already escaped from Lan Yi? Should we open a shop somewhere else and wait for her?"
Everyone was delighted by Mai Su'er's suggestion: "Yes, how come we didn't think of that?"
The skinny man added, "We need to seek justice for our boss before we go!"
Seeing his confident expression, the other three looked at him curiously and asked, "You have a way?"
"Looking for a beggar!"
...
In the vast expanse of yellow sand, a horse-drawn carriage seemed to be darting about aimlessly, but the driver was nowhere to be seen.
Behind the carriage came several men in black, armed with knives, looking menacing.
"Hurry and chase after them! Once you've finished, go back and claim your reward from the First Prince!"
Hearing that they were going to receive a reward, everyone's eyes lit up, and they chased after the prize even more diligently.
One of them plunged his sword into the horse's thigh, and the horse immediately reared up and let out a roar.
One of them seized the opportunity to jump onto the roof of the carriage and plunged his sword deep into the roof.
"Brother, why isn't anyone coming out to resist? Are they all dead?!"
Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he lifted the curtain and found that there was no one in the carriage.
"We've been scammed!"
...
Nangong Liuli and Xiao Liuzi are enjoying a leisurely cup of tea.
Upon imagining the scene of them seeing the carriage, Xiao Liuzi was overjoyed: "Your Highness, you are truly clever."
"I can now imagine the Crown Prince's expression when he sees the carriage."
Nangong Liuli's lips curled into a wicked smile: "Don't be too happy yet, our Crown Prince may have already guessed it!"
Xiao Liu shook his head and said with absolute certainty, "Impossible!"
Seeing his somewhat gloomy expression, Xiao Liu knew without a doubt what he was worried about: "Is Your Highness thinking of Consort Hui?"
He nodded and said, "I wonder how Mother is doing now, and whether the First Prince has the money to make things difficult for her."
"Hiding outside for too long is not a solution; we should return to the palace as soon as possible."
"Yes! Consort Hui is alone in the palace."
Suddenly, Nangong Liuli's eyes became wary: "We have friends here!"
