The emperor has not shown any intention to make any prince the crown prince. If this is the case, the child Suxue gave birth to is the biggest threat to Hong Moyan's current competition for the throne.

After Concubine Hui and Hong Moyan informed the matter, Hong Moyan left Concubine Hui's palace and returned to Prince Yan's Mansion to plan the matter himself.

So they sent people to investigate and find the child who was sent out of the palace.

After all, it had been such a long time, and I had no idea and no way to investigate. The people sent out had no choice but to start investigating in some villages.

Originally, we were going to the villages, and it was just a search. We were searching some farmers' households to see if we could find out the child that the emperor had raised among the people.

However, he did not expect that by chance, a piece of "Xueling White Jade" was found in a farmer's house - a jade pendant that only the royal family can own and wear.

Such a jade pendant, which only princes and nobles could own and wear, was actually found in an ordinary farmer's house.

Then this farmer is worthy of suspicion, and one can imagine what happened to him.

After the killers from the Hongmoyan sect found the jade, they did not find the child from back then. In an accident, they killed the farmer and his wife.

We have found such a farmer in the village here, and there is a royal jade in such a farmer's house. It is no surprise that the child is probably from this farmer here.

But the child was not found!

It's like it's right in front of you, but you just can't find it.

After the assassination failed, these assassins returned to Prince Yan's Mansion to look for Hong Moyan and informed Hong Moyan about the incident.

This mission failed, and Hong Moyan was very angry when he found out.

And Zhao Xiaotan was one of the group of killers sent by Hong Moyan. He was also the one who killed one of the farmers who found the "Xueling White Jade" in the village.

After this group of people came back, Hong Moyan was furious.

In a fit of anger, Zhao Xiaotan's face was ruined.

Only then did Zhao Xiaotan take the opportunity to escape, escaped from Prince Yan's Mansion, and went to Chenxiang Tower with Yan Xun'er to beg for a face-rejuvenating Gu.

For this Gu, Yan Xun'er agreed to stay in Chenxiang Tower, but he hid and escaped the search by the people sent by Hong Moyan.

However, later, by chance, Zhao Xiaotan met Pei Chuan and left Chenxiang Tower. Because of various things that happened later, in order to save Pei Chuan's life, he went to look for Yan Xun'er again and asked Yan Xun'er to plant a Gu to save him.

After going down to Peichuan, it was only then that

After entering Chenxiang Tower, she was recognized by the people around the third prince. The people sent by Hong Moyan failed to search for Zhao Xiaotan because she was hiding in Chenxiang Tower. Later, because Zhao Xiaotan later entered and exited Chenxiang Tower, they found her.

found her traces.

Zhao Xiaotan left the Agarwood Tower because of Pei Chuan, and later entered the Agarwood Tower because of Pei Chuan.

However, all the things in this world are always connected by threads and thousands of connections.

Many times, something you do may not have any direct consequences at the time, but it will indeed affect the future.

Maybe I met someone and just did a small thing.

Only when I thought about it later did I know and remember, oh, it turned out that I had done such a common thing at that time...

Then I suddenly remembered that it was the person I knew so long ago and what thing I did so long ago that led to what happened now...

Hong Moyan was alone. Ever since Zhao Xiaotan left, he had been sitting on a wicker chair by himself, thinking about this all the time...

He himself didn't know why, when Zhao Xiaotan mentioned that person, that child who was sent away by his father - it was very likely that he was the person who would be canonized as the prince by his father.

When Hong Moyan heard Zhao Xiaotan mention this person, he was extremely angry when he heard someone mention this person.

Hong Moyan was sitting on the wicker chair. His hands were clenched into fists and placed on the two armrests of the wicker chair, with blue veins popping out.

After Zhao Xiaotan came out of Prince Yan's Mansion, he walked on the road of Prince Yan's Mansion with ease, walked from the study to the main entrance, went out from the main entrance, and then walked towards the direction of Prince Yan's Mansion.

Prince Yan's Mansion is not small, and the walk from the study to the main entrance is enough for Zhao Xiaotan to walk for quite some time.

In addition, Zhao Xiaotan knelt in front of Hong Moyan for so long in the study room of Prince Yan's Mansion.

It was already past noon when we came out of Prince Yan's Mansion. Fortunately, there was no sun and the sky was gloomy today. It was not too hot at noon.

This morning, after breakfast at Ji Mansion, I went to Prince Yan's Mansion. Not to mention lunch, I haven't even had a sip of tea.

Zhao Xiaotan was walking alone on the way back to Ji's Mansion from Prince Yan's Mansion. She had never been so wronged since she went to Chenxiang Mansion. Although the life in Chenxiang Mansion was very boring, Yan Xun'er did not let her

affected.

After coming out of Chenxiang Building, he followed Pei Chuan, and his life in Jifu was even more comfortable. Zhao Xiaotan had the best food and clothing on weekdays. Pei Chuan was used to spending money lavishly, and he was not stingy with Zhao Xiaotan.

, it is natural for Zhao Xiaotan to be willing to spend money to support her.

On weekdays, when she was in Ji Mansion, she just admired the flowers, drank tea, and took a rest when she was tired. There were also maids waiting by her side.

After such a long time, Zhao Xiaotan almost forgot about the person she used to be, the person she used to be in Prince Yan's Mansion, and the person she used to be as a killer.

After living a life of licking blood from the knife edge for a long time, it is natural to want to live an ordinary life. But this ordinary life is one with no worries about food and clothing, wouldn't it be better...

Zhao Xiaotan was thinking as she walked that Hong Moyan still threatened her with Pei Chuan's name. She knew Hong Moyan's temper and temperament, knew that she had failed the mission by doing this, and she even ran away from Hong Moyan.

After she came out, Hong Moyan would naturally not leave her name again.

Moreover, she threatened Hong Moyan in this way and negotiated conditions with Hong Moyan. Presumably, after Hong Moyan knew the location of the person she mentioned and pried open her mouth, she became the same.

I won't leave her alive anymore.

Regarding the fact that Pei Chuan had defected to Hong Moyan, although Zhao Xiaotan was very surprised when she first learned about it, after the surprise, Zhao Xiaotan had to think about it carefully. She did not have much time left, only half a month.

Time can match Pei Chuan, so how can she remind Pei Chuan to be careful of the Third Prince Hong Moyan?

After Zhao Xiaotan learned about Pei Chuan's defection to Hong Moyan, he was not particularly suspicious. After all, looking at the government and the public, there were many officials who supported Hong Moyan, and Hong Moyan was of the right age, among the many princes of the emperor.

The forces are among the best, and at the same time they are ambitious.

The most important point is that Hong Moyan is very cruel and cruel...

Ruthlessness is often what a king should possess most.

Pei Chuan's family just has a lot of money, but now he is an official who was bought with money. This official who was bought with money has no important real power, and the power is just for decoration.

He was originally a businessman, and everyone looked down on Ji Jia and Pei Chuan on weekdays. But who doesn't want to be able to rise to the top and have a prominent family?

If the third prince takes that position and becomes a great person, then Pei Chuan and his family will be great in the future, and Pei Chuan will not have to buy his official position with money.

Although Ji's family has money, there are many things that cannot be accomplished with just money.

Moreover, with Pei Chuan's temperament, he spends his days looking for flowers, drinking and drinking, so only the third prince, Hong Moyan, is willing to extend an olive branch to Pei Chuan and take him under his command, but he also takes a fancy to the Ji family's money.

If it were any other prince, even if he had this idea, he probably wouldn't approach Pei Chuan. Although he couldn't accomplish a few things, he would still often cause trouble for himself.

After he did something wrong, he still had to clean up the mess.

If it were any other prince, he probably wouldn't have the power of the third prince to clean up the messes he made one after another.

However, Zhao Xiaotan is a woman after all.

Even though she had stayed by the side of Third Prince Hong Moyan before, even though she had been a killer trained by Third Prince's house, she was still a woman after all.

Zhao Xiaotan's thoughts are, after all, those of a woman.

According to her thoughts, the Third Prince is so sinister, so Pei Chuan will naturally find no benefit from him, and he might even get her name on him.

Then, she thought about how to persuade Pei Chuan without leaving any trace, and persuade Pei Chuan to stop working for the third prince...

Although Zhao Xiaotan is not a shrewd person and is often self-righteous, her words often come true...

Just like what I said to Yan Xun'er in Agarwood Tower.

It's like walking on the road and thinking about Pei Chuan and the third prince.

Hong Moyan has been sitting in this study since Zhao Xiaotan left.

In the meantime, Liuli came over to the study, gently knocked on the door of the study, and called, "Third Prince, lunch is ready and laid out. Please get up and go to the front hall to have lunch."

Hong Moyan was still sitting on the table, but he didn't move or make a sound.

Liuli was outside the study door and did not come into the study. She could not see Hong Moyan. However, although Liuli was outside the door, she knew that the third prince must have heard her words at this moment, but he did not respond.

she.

The third prince was inconvenient to respond to her because he didn't want to eat at the moment. Liuli just waited outside the study door quietly for a while, standing outside the study door with a respectful posture.

It makes it hard for people to find fault.

She didn't speak, didn't make a sound to urge the third prince to reply to her words, she just waited quietly for Hong Moyan at the door of the study.
