Chapter 291 - Threats
The moment he said that, Liu Min was startled. Xiao Qianhan didn't hesitate to reply. Her firm and calm attitude completely didn't seem like she was born in a small country.
Did she know what she was talking about?
Liu Min could not recover her senses for a long time, and only regained her senses after Xiao Qianhan had left for half a quarter of an hour.
"This woman is untouchable." Aunt Zhang frowned and said. This was out of their expectations. They had never expected a woman from a small country to have such a calm demeanor, and to be able to remain so calm even in the face of the empress. This was something they had not seen in years.
However …
"Princess Yue Lan is probably disappointed. I thought Xiao Qianhan used a fox like method to seduce the Crown Prince. And just now, through my observation, I discovered that Xiao Qianhan is intentionally hiding her strength. " Aunt Zhang said in a deep voice. It seemed that the Empress's intention to recruit Princess Yue Lan for her own use could not be easily accomplished.
Liu Min's face darkened, "A mere little girl from a small country dares to look down on me, so I have no choice but to punish her!"
"But with his highness the crown prince here, even if he were to send out his assassins, he still wouldn't be a match for the crown prince." The Aunt Zhang replied, "Furthermore, the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Empress has always been a little stiff. If the Crown Prince knew that the Empress had acted against Xiao Qianhan, then the relationship between the Empress and the Crown Prince would definitely be even more stiff."
Therefore, this matter needed to be handled carefully. Even if he wanted to kill Xiao Qianhan, he must not alert the crown prince.
How could her relationship with Yun Mojin be described as rigid? If not for the fact that Yun Mojin's strength was astonishing, and she was temporarily unable to find anyone who could match up to Yun Mojin, how could she allow him to stay alive and sit in the position of crown prince!
"Even if Yun Mojin has never placed me in her eyes, I am still the queen of the Beiming Nation. Send people to take care of Xiao Qianhan as soon as possible. " Liu Min said in a cold and stern voice.
Aunt Zhang still wanted to persuade him, but he was well aware of Liu Min's personality.
It was just that for some reason, she thought of Xiao Qianhan who did not have a single trace of fear just now, how strong was Xiao Qianhan right now? If she were to assassinate someone, what level of strength would she need?
On the way to Transaction market.
"Empress? She wants you to leave the crown prince? " Ye Jun was surprised. In that case, the Empress was standing on Yue Lan's side? But to rush over to see Xiao Qianhan, and even forcing him to leave the crown prince's side, was she looking down on Xiao Qianhan? How disrespectful!
Xiao Qianhan nodded, "Perhaps she will make some moves in a short period of time."
"But as far as I know, the empress isn't the crown prince's birth mother. The crown prince's birth mother died long ago when she gave birth to him." Ye Jun said as he frowned. Did the empress want to take control of the crown prince's life? But was it really that easy to manipulate the crown prince's life?
Xiao Qianhan nodded, "She probably wants to win Yue Lan's heart."
Ye Jun was indignant, "Too shameless! How worried was Yue Lan about getting married? The Crown Prince's attitude was very obvious. Did she not see that? Do you have to be so shameless? I really have nothing else to say. " Even if she was a person with few words, facing Yue Lan's shamelessness right now, she couldn't help but scold him.
In comparison to Ye Jun's fury, Xiao Qianhan's state of mind did not change at all. What just happened was merely a small interlude to her; Go visit the Transaction market first. "
As the two of them walked further and further away, two people walked out from the side.
"The empress wants to get involved in more and more things." Long Yu said coldly.
A cold light flashed in Yun Mojin's eyes as she looked up at the teahouse and said: "Liu Min is courting death." When she carried him to look for Xiao Qianhan, she stretched out her hand longer and longer.
On the second floor of the tea house.
Liu Min finished her cup of tea and got up to leave for the palace.
The closed door was suddenly pushed open.
Seeing the person who arrived, Liu Min was shocked, why did he suddenly come here? Could it be that he already knew that she had just met Xiao Qianhan before?
"Why did the crown prince suddenly barge in?" Aunt Zhang also changed drastically. She looked at Yun Mojin in shock, and asked subconsciously.
Liu Min quickly regained her composure, she kept her shocked expression and looked at Yun Mojin coldly: "Prince, what is the meaning of this?"
Yun Mojin stared at Liu Min and when her expression started to change, he slowly spoke: "I want to settle some debts."
Liu Min's expression changed greatly, what does he mean by this?
Long Yu laughed coldly, then suddenly took out a jade pendant and threw it on the table. "Esteemed Empress, why don't you take a good look at what this is all about?"
Liu Min looked over, and her body suddenly trembled.
Aunt Zhang's face changed drastically as she cried out in alarm, "Esteemed Empress, this …"
That night.
Yue Lan received Zhang Min's reply. She stood by the window in a daze.
Xiao Qianhan's attitude was as tough as ever, since when did Xiao Qianhan become a thorn in her heart? Can't I not pull it out?
Even if he was facing the Empress, how could Xiao Qianhan, the, not plan to leave?
She looked out of the window at the bright moon, her eyes flashing with determination that she had never shown before. "Xiao Qianhan, do you really think I can do nothing to you?"
The palace.
Even now, Zhang Min still felt a lingering fear. He never thought that Yun Mojin would actually do this to her for Xiao Qianhan's sake!
This Xiao Qianhan was indeed very important to Yun Mojin.
"Empress, why don't you stop?" Aunt Zhang's face was still filled with fear. This was the first time Yun Mojin revealed her murderous intent to the Empress. If the Empress still wanted to kill Xiao Qianhan, then when Yun Mojin found out in the future, the Empress would definitely not be able to protect herself.
"Empress …" Aunt Zhang did not expect the Empress to not plan to stop, "The Crown Prince has something on the Empress!" Now that he thought about it, his heart was still palpitating. Just when did the crown prince know that the Empress had always wanted to hide this secret? If not for the Empress seeing Xiao Qianhan today, they would never have known that the crown prince had so many secrets!
He had always been afraid of the Crown Prince, and now he felt that the Crown Prince was truly terrifying!
Facing such a fearsome Crown Prince, would they really go and provoke him?
Would they be able to endure this result in the end?
Zhang Min bit her lips and said solemnly: "Since you have already said so, we must continue with this matter. If Xiao Qianhan were to really marry Yun Mojin in the future, wouldn't it be even harder to deal with the one additional enemy we have each time? Everyone says that Yue Lan is intelligent, but in my opinion, Yue Lan is far less shrewd than him. Yue Lan was a person of the Western Lantern Kingdom, so using the Western Lantern Kingdom to restrain him was the best. If I really allow Yun Mojin to develop as she pleases, I will definitely become the biggest joke in the Beiming Nation in the future! "
"But …"
"You don't need to say anymore. If I don't have any assurance, I won't do it. Yue Lan can be used by me, and in the end, Yun Mojin will definitely not suspect me. " Zhang Min raised her hand in frustration. Aunt Zhang no longer needed to speak, and her expression was firm.
The Aunt Zhang still had her doubts and worries, and hoped that the matter would really develop as the Empress had said. If not, the consequences would be hard for her to imagine.
