"This subordinate will only share his Royal Highness' worries."
Yue Qing's expression darkened as she lowered her head.
"Divide? Do you know that if it wasn't for your arbitrary decision, Duan Cheng Xuan would have long ago died at Hundred Herb Cliff? It just so happened that you insist on making a move against her, and that's why she protected Duan Chengxuan for the sake of her life! "
Duan Chengrui was extremely furious. How could Yue Qing not know what a good opportunity Hundred Herb Cliff was!
However, Yue Qing was a woman, unlike other men. Her eyes were filled with tears, as she lifted her head. "Since when has Your Highness been so biased towards a woman? Can this not mean that Your Highness has already fallen in love with Princess Jing? But Your Highness was the one who taught me that in this world, only emotions are not allowed to act rashly."
Duan Chengrui wanted to say something but hesitated. He could only stare coldly at Yue Qing and understand what was going on.
The person who had touched the word 'love' was not him. Rather, it was Yue Qing herself.
Thinking up to this point, he could only sigh at the reason why Yue Qing was placed in the Residence as her concubine. Currently, her Red Luan was moving about like the stars, which would only hinder his future actions.
"If I were to fall in love, would I still be able to allow my beloved person to be pregnant with someone else's blood and bones?"
Duan Chengrui's voice was calm, but it was still as sonorous as before.
He stood up and quickly walked to Yue Qing's side. As he faced the moonlight, he sighed, "If you fall in love, I won't let you live. Tomorrow morning, you will go to the other courtyard and train properly. Don't miss my plan again."
Yue Qing opened her mouth, but when she saw the veins on the back of his hand, she lowered her head.
This time, it seemed that His Highness was truly angry.
"Yue Qing will be punished." She kowtowed heavily, and the Duan Chengrui before him had already walked into her own room, leaving only Yue Qing standing on the spot as she raised her head in shock.
She was moved, but was His Highness really not tempted?
On the morning of the second day, a carriage steadily stopped in front of the third prince's manor, blocking Chang Yiqin and her maid from leaving.
Chang Yi Qin had been wearing a long, emerald skirt and had only invited her good friend over for breakfast. She had gone out to visit the Misty Rain Pavilion, but when she saw the carriage outside, she thought it was there to serve her. Who knew that the coachman would coldly say, "Madam, this carriage was prepared for Lady Yue Qing?"
When these words came out, Chang Yiqin was naturally dissatisfied. "I am the third prince's consort. Sister Yue Qing is only a concubine. Could she be more capable than me in ordering you around?"
"This is an order from the third prince. Madam, please look for another carriage." The coachman was expressionless, and had a well-built body. His skin was slightly dark, and he was a person that Chang Yiqin had never seen before.
Like this, Chang Yiqin became angry on the spot and could only nag on and on for a long time.
When Yue Qing and Duan Chengrui arrived at the door, they saw this scene.
Although Duan Chengrui wasn't happy about it, he was still able to sit down and respect her. However, when he thought of the matter with Yue Qing, he got angry and his temper rose. He only stopped Chang Yiqin and said in a deep voice, "Yiqin, don't mess around."
"Your Highness!" You can help me. " Chang Yi Qin was so angry that her face turned red. When she saw Duan Chengrui, she immediately hugged him and stuck to his chest, "I am your legal wife. Why are you stepping aside for Sister Yue Qing now?"
"Yue Qing has an urgent matter." Duan Chengrui could only pat her shoulder as he noticed that Yue Qing was gently biting his lips. Seeing how intimate the two of them were, he could only clench his teeth in hatred.
Chang Yi Qin made a ruckus without any reason. Duan Chengrui lost some of his patience, but Yue Qing beside him said with a smile, "If elder sister doesn't mind, why don't we go together? I'll leave after I've been sent off with you."
Yue Qing always behaved decently, knowing when to advance and when to retreat.
After hearing this, Chang Yiqin looked at her and asked, "Just where is Sister Yue Qing going?"
"I'm just going to stay in the courtyard for a few days." Duan Chengrui pulled her away a little and only shot a look at the so-called coachman before returning to the Third Prince's estate. He seemed to tacitly agree to follow Yue Qing's instructions to deal with this matter.
After getting on the carriage, Chang Yiqin still couldn't stand Yue Qing's way of doing things. However, she didn't dislike her either. Instead, she was a little curious. "The guest courtyard is in a desolate area. Why are you going there?"
"I was merely punished by His Highness." Yue Qing smiled helplessly as she looked at her own hand. "I only mentioned a few words to His Highness, hoping that he wouldn't bother with the matter of Crown Princess Jing before being reprimanded."
"Crown Princess Jing?" On the other hand, Chang Yiqin thought of the people she had met in Misty Rain Pavilion. Her memories of them were still fresh in her mind.
There were many people in Sky Fire City who said that Gu Mingyan was beautiful and that she had a kind heart. They praised her to the point that there was nothing in the world. But now, they regarded her as their husband's lover and changed their minds.
Chang Yi Qin was a kind-hearted woman. She was only arrogant and despotic towards Yue Qing and her concubine, but Gu Mingyan was the Consort of the Crown Prince. She was the wife of the Duke of Jing.
"It's fine if he doesn't mention it, but big sister shouldn't take it to heart. In any case, that Crown Princess Jing isn't very popular either, so even if he leaves with Prince Jing in the future, he'll still be a concubine. He definitely won't be able to replace big sister's position." Yue Qing still spoke appropriately.
However, the speaker's face darkened. "Are you saying that all of this is to pacify my wife?"
Yue Qing pretended to be flustered and wanted to explain.
"Return to the manor!" However, Chang Yiqin had already pulled open the carriage's curtain. The coachman outside was still sullen, and she still drove the carriage back to the mansion.
The moment they returned to the Third Prince's Estate, Chang Yiqin immediately bustled into Duan Chengrui's study.
After a simple bow, she summoned up the courage to directly walk in front of Duan Chengrui. "Your Highness, previously, you made Little Sister Yue Qing kneel for an entire night to pacify my wife, and now, you even want Little Sister Yue Qing to go to that uninhabited courtyard. What exactly are you thinking?"
Duan Chengrui folded the letter in his hand and placed it in a drawer. With a gentle and gentle expression, he patted her shoulder and asked, "Do you remember what your father told me?"
Chang Yiqin only knelt beside him and leaned against his thigh. "I remember that Father hopes that you will one day inherit the throne, and that I will help you no matter what."
"As for the matter of the Crown Princess, it's best if you don't interfere in it." Duan Chengrui slightly frowned as he even more so didn't wish to see a pure and innocent girl like Chang Yiqin be involved in this matter.
"What does Princess Jing have to do with us? Father once said that Prince Jing is his highness's greatest enemy, and now that you're connected to Princess Jing, isn't that the same as his enemies?" Chang Yi Qin still didn't understand. In the next moment, she felt her vision go black and she completely fainted.
Duan Chengrui only waved his hand and let the people beside him bring her away. With a gloomy expression, he said, "Bring Yue Qing here."
