His cold eyes shone with a thoughtful light. The tree branch was unknowingly snapped in half by his finger.

When Luo Yan returned to the Prince Mansion from the outside, he coincidentally saw Rong Yu who seemed to be deep in thought while standing next to the tree.

Luo Yan's voice caused Rong Yu to come back to his senses. He thought for a moment, then said: "I have something that I want you to take care of."

As he said that, he went over to Luo Yan's ear and whispered a few sentences into his ear. Luo Yan's eyes flashed a look of shock, and following that, he cupped his hands in greeting and acknowledged the order, "Yes, Prince, this subordinate will do it immediately."

After Luo Yan left, Rong Yu once again fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he walked forward, towards the Fireworks Pavilion where Bao Yan lived.

Fireworks Pavilion.

"Mistress, the leaf dryer has been ignoring you more and more recently, aren't you worried that she will gradually take over your position in the Prince's heart?"

Servant Hong Jian, who was by Bao Yan's side, said in her ear while she combed her hair.

Ever since she married her mistress into Prince Mansion a year ago, she had never felt such anger. That lower class woman had the guts to make her kneel in front of everyone for the majority of the day.

Right now, in private, many of the servants were still mocking her for what she had done. No matter what, she couldn't take this lying down.

She must find an opportunity to demoralize that woman.

Hong Jian did not mention it, but when it came to it, Bao Yan's expression immediately changed.

Thinking about the humiliation she had suffered at leaf dryer, she gritted her teeth in hatred. But unfortunately, Prince started to pay attention to that woman.

What was even more unexpected was that the Prince would actually visit that woman.

Although Prince did not express too much concern about Chu Ci, her intuition told her that Prince had already begun to focus her attention on that woman.

In her heart, she gradually felt a sense of danger.

In fact, in this Prince Mansion, she had nothing. It was all because of Prince's kindness that she could act so arrogantly in this Prince Mansion, even Chu Ci didn't dare to be disrespectful to her.

But this was only limited to the Chu Ci before she lost her memories.

However, the moment Prince stopped pampering her, and lost her power, as the current Princess, Chu Ci would definitely step on her and bully her. In the future, she would not be able to stand up for herself in Prince Mansion at all.

No, she could not sit still and wait for death to come. She absolutely could not give Chu Ci the chance to turn things around.

Prince is a person without a heart, you can never guarantee whether he will always pamper you, the only person you can truly rely on is yourself.

This point was something that Bao Yan was very clear of in her heart.

Seeing Bao Yan's gloomy face and not saying a word, Hong Jian knew that her words had already made Bao Yan feel Chu Ci's threat. If she had said a few more words, her master would have already taken action.

Madam, when this servant returned just now, I saw that the lady was headed towards Prince's study room. I was stunned for a long time, and did not know what to do there, but I guessed that she wanted to find a chance to seduce Prince, and as long as Prince sees her in her eyes, her time to turn around was not far.

Bao Yan's expression became darker and darker. She didn't need Hong Jian to tell her anything, she already knew everything in her heart.

Didn't Prince already have her eyes on that woman?

Although Bao Yan was aware of this in her heart, on the surface, she would naturally not admit it.

He cast a cold glance at Hong Jian from the corner of his eyes and said: "You're talking too much. If Prince were to take a fancy to that lower class woman, she wouldn't need to wait until today to seduce him. I have my own plans for this matter, don't meddle in my business."

Being reprimanded for no reason, Hong Jian naturally had a bad feeling about it. It was just that she did not dare to offend her own master.

"This servant knows her wrongs."

She was very clear of Bao Yan, although she did not say anything, her heart was filled with a sense of danger, there was no need for her to say anything, she would naturally make her move.

"Reporting to Madam, Prince is here."

At this time, the servant girl's timid voice sounded from outside of the door, and her words caused Bao Yan's eyes to light up in an instant.

"The Prince is here?"

She immediately stood up from the dresser in delight, a pleased expression flitting past her eyes as she looked at Hong Jian, "Did you hear that? Prince still has me in her heart, stop worrying about me."

Then, after looking in the mirror for a moment, he said to Hong Jian: "Hurry up, make me more beautiful, I want to go out and see Prince."

"Madam, you're already so beautiful like this, this Prince definitely won't be able to tear his gaze away."

Hong Jian took the opportunity to flatter her.

"Really?"

"How could this servant dare to lie to you? Please hurry up and leave."

"Yes."

She nodded, followed him, got up, and left the room in delight, heading for the front hall.

In the hall, Rong Yu sat in the middle of the room without saying a word. He raised the teacup in his hand and knocked it, intentionally or unintentionally, but he did not move it to his mouth.

"Prince, you're here. I deserve to die, I've made you wait for a long time."

Once Bao Yan entered the hall, she spoke to herself in a hypocritical manner. Following after, she walked towards Rong Yu with a charming smile.

Putting down the teacup, Rong Yu's gaze slowly turned towards her. Seeing her eyes that were filled with light looking at him, Rong Yu's eyes quietly revealed a trace of loathing.

"There is something this This King wants to ask you."

He opened his mouth, but did not give a response to Bao Yan's intentional 'seduction'.

"Please speak, Prince."

"Where were you when Chu Ci fell into the water?"

He went straight to the point, causing Bao Yan's face to immediately turn pale. She looked at Rong Yu in panic, thinking that he had discovered something and had come over to question her.

"Concubine … At that time … At that time, when he was following and heard someone call him to fall into the water, he went out, Wang … Why did Prince … You suddenly asked about this? "

She forced the corner of her mouth to calm down as she spoke.

Rong Yu looked at her. Seeing the panic in her eyes, he already knew in his heart.

He didn't need to investigate at all. After finding out that Chu Ci had fallen into the water, he knew that she had pushed him down.

After all, Chu Ci was the direct wife of the Prince Rong's Mansion. Even if she wasn't favoured, no one would dare to kill her. Other than this woman who relied on his kindness to tyrannize the Prince Mansion, there was no one else.

However, he did not want to investigate further. After all, that woman, Chu Ci did not have the qualifications to make him spend too much time feeling sorry for her.

Bao Yan saw that Rong Yu looked at her and did not say a word, and became even more flustered.

Prince suddenly ran over to ask about this. Could it be … Chu Ci's amnesia was cured?

But even so, when she had pushed her into the water, no one had seen, how could Prince use just her words to interrogate her?
