The fourth prince's marriage was confirmed, and the battle between him and the prince was officially on the table.

The court hall was full of smoke and smoke, and the two parties were fighting with each other, and no one would give in to the other.

The four princes Xiao Chengye, Prince Xiao Chengye and the fourth prince were fighting to the death. One of the second princes was weak due to premature birth and had been recuperating in the Royal Villa all year round. The third prince from the private sector had successively achieved military exploits and became his new favorite.

Among the four princes, the second prince automatically withdrew from the struggle for the throne due to his poor health. The third prince was born among the people and had no maternal family to rely on. He was basically eliminated, leaving only the prince and the fourth prince.

The smarter ministers have already begun to silently take sides. Of course, there are still some people who are still waiting and watching.

Half a month after Xiao Yao's marriage was announced, Qin Zhen went to Wanyan Tower.

As soon as she entered the door, Qin Zhen felt something was wrong.

The madam who was usually warm to her looked evasive when he saw her today. When she was going to see Hongxue, the madam talked about him and delayed Qin Zhen's time.

Qin Zhen didn't think much about it at first, but when she rushed to Hongxue's door and found that the door of Hongxue's room was closed, Qin Zhen's expression suddenly changed.

She grabbed the madam by the collar and pulled him to her side, gritting her teeth and said, "You want her to pick up the guests?"

When the madam saw what had happened, her face turned pale with fright, and she quickly shied away her responsibility: "She agreed to it herself, I didn't force her!"

"How could she agree?" Qin Zhen didn't believe it at all, "I gave her the money, and she is the one under my care. How dare you let her pick up the guests without my permission?"

"It was really of her own volition," the madam was about to cry. "Half a month ago, she suddenly said that she would start accepting guests and asked me to make arrangements. I asked repeatedly, and she was willing, so I made the arrangements."

Qin Zhen's hold on the Madam's hand instantly relaxed.

Half a month ago?

It’s been half a month?

Feeling angry, Qin Zhen kicked Hongxue's door open without even thinking about it.

She broke into the inner room angrily and saw two people entangled on the bed.

The man was disturbed and turned around angrily and cursed: "Who doesn't understand the rules and doesn't want to get out?"

With a cold face, Qin Zhen grabbed the sword next to her and slashed across the bed.

The man was so frightened that he peed his pants in an instant. He got up and ran out, not even bothering to pass on his clothes.

The madam grabbed a coat from the ground and ran after the client. Her voice comforting the client could be heard from a distance.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Hongxue slowly got up from the bed and took a piece of clothing and put it on her body. But even so, it still couldn't stop the bruises all over her body.

Qin Zhen tightened her grip on the sword in her hand and stared at Hongxue with her eyes until the ends of her eyes turned red.

Hongxue came over, reached out and took the sword away from Qin Zhen's hand, and slapped it on the ground.

"Princess, don't hurt yourself." Hongxue said softly.

Qin Zhen took a deep breath and asked, "Why?"

"Why?" Hongxue blinked and said, "Why do you want to pick up the guests?"

Hongxue laughed and said in a calm tone: "I am in the world of mortals, and these are what I should do."

"This is not what you should do," Qin Zhen said through gritted teeth, "I gave you money to support you, I didn't ask you to sell yourself here."

Hongxue paused for a moment, then said: "Princess, do you think you have lost money? It doesn't matter, I can refund all the money to you. However, some of the money belongs to His Highness the Fourth Highness, so I can't refund all of it to you."

"Hongxue!" Qin Zhen's voice was a little stern, "It turns out that Wanyan Building is Ji Yun's property, and I can't touch him. Now that he is dead, Wanyan Building has changed owners. I'm already thinking of ways to take over.

You're out, why can't you wait?"

Qin Zhen's eyes were full of regret and she said softly: "Why do you want to ruin yourself like this?"

After hearing Qin Zhen say this, Hongxue trembled uncontrollably.

Ruining herself... Hongxue smiled bitterly in her heart. She is such a lowly person, so how can she talk about trashing her?

This is her fate.

Hongxue looked up at Qin Zhen and said softly: "Princess, you are a good person, and I am very grateful to you. However, not everything in this world can go as you wish. You go back, my business will be yours in the future.

Don't worry about it anymore. The princess will never come to a dirty place like Wanyan Building in the future."

Qin Zhen said with a cold face: "Why?"

Hongxue sighed and said: "Princess, how could you, a smart person like you, not think of this? You said that Wanyan Tower has changed owners. I know that the master behind it has become His Highness the Fourth Highness. I am Wanyan Tower,

Is there anything I can hide from him?"

Qin Zhen: "..."

In an instant, Qin Zhen felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body was completely cold.

Hongxue accepted the guests with Xiao Yao's tacit consent.

In the past, when Hongxue didn't take the initiative to pick up guests, he took it easy and took care of Hongxue. But half a month ago, Hongxue suddenly offered to pick up guests, and Xiao Yao acquiesced.

Qin Zhen closed her eyes, looked deeply at Hongxue, and said slowly: "Is it worth it?"

Hongxue was stunned, her eyes that had been calm suddenly turned red.

She didn't cry the day she was sold into a brothel, nor did she cry the day she picked up a client for the first time, but now she suddenly cried.

Because Qin Zhen truly understands her and what she is thinking.

Hongxue lowered her head, tears falling on the back of her hand, making her hand tremble.

After a while, Hongxue said: "Nothing is worth it or not. He wanted me to do it, so I did it."

Qin Zhen looked at Hongxue with a bit of compassion in her eyes, and said softly: "What a silly girl."

Compared to her previous life, she is even stupider.

At least, she ended up like that because she was deceived.

Hongxue, on the other hand, jumped into the fire pit consciously and voluntarily.

Qin Zhen reached out and touched Hongxue's face, sighed, and said, "Since you chose the path yourself, you have to bear it yourself no matter what the consequences are in the future."

Hongxue looked at Qin Zhen and said, "I understand."

"The path you chose is different from mine." Qin Zhen said softly, "From now on, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again."

Hongxue blinked, another tear fell down her face, and she said again: "I know."

"However, for the sake of our acquaintance, I agree to your request." Qin Zhen looked at Hongxue and said seriously, "If you need it in the future, you can come to me and I will agree to your request.

No matter how difficult it is, as long as I can do it.”

She moved slightly closer to Hongxue and whispered in her ear: "If you want, I can take you away. This sentence is valid at any time."

After saying this, Qin Zhen didn't care anymore and turned around and left Hongxue's house.

In the room, Hongxue didn't hold back for a moment and started crying.
