The two of them sat there and glared at each other. After a while, the Sixth Princess suppressed the anger again and slowly calmed down. She raised her eyebrows slightly and there was a strong chill in her eyes. She sneered and said, “Hu Qianyue, how dare you! Do you know that even though you’re going to marry my Third brother, you will only be a second consort? You will have to live in the Qin Kingdom. Is it good for you to irritate me?”

In the view of the Sixth Princess, Hu Qianyue was really crazy. And this woman’s craze was inexplicable! She attacked her hardly and looked at her like a cold viper, as if she was going to kill her as soon as she got a good chance. The Sixth Princess, who had a headache, became more and more annoyed.

Hu Qianyue didn’t want to be Feng Yulei’s second consort, and the Sixth Princess could see it. Maybe Hu Qianyue’s cousin, the Third Prince who was said to be wise and powerful, had an affair with her. But it had nothing to do with the Sixth Princess. Hu Qianyue didn’t want to stay in the Qin Kingdom, and she didn’t want to marry into the Southern Barbarian Lands either.

They could have been unified, and even cooperated with each other. However, according to the current situation, Hu Qianyue clearly regarded the Sixth Princess as her biggest enemy. The Sixth Princess did not think that she was so generous that she could treat the venomous snake-like girl, who had been keeping an eye on her all the time, as a partner.

“Sixth Princess, you think that you have been very careful. Unfortunately, no matter how careful you are, you are still exposed. How could the guard around my cousin appear by your side at this time? Even if my cousin really wants to get married to a princess from the Qin Kingdom, it is impossible for him to send someone to you directly. So, if the person who appeared there yesterday was not someone else in disguise, he has betrayed my cousin. In any case, this person can’t represent my cousin anymore.”

Hu Qianyue snorted and mocked, “You know so much about my cousin’s situation. I’m curious about the man you met in private. Could it be Marquess Mingguo?”

That day, she was so desperate that she spat out a few mouthfuls of blood before she returned to the manor. After that, she sobered up and immediately analyzed the situation roughly. Then, she asked the carriage to return. When she came to the entrance of the small alley, the Sixth Princess had already disappeared. She asked the two maidservants to inquire about it and found that it was just an ordinary pharmacy.

Knowing that even if she rushed over at that time, she couldn’t get any information. When she returned to the manor, she thought about it for almost all night and suddenly understood. People in the Qin Kingdom generally couldn’t know so much about her cousin, unless someone had been keeping an eye on the situation there. This person must have power and influence. Coupled with the abnormal behavior of the Sixth Princess, this person gradually emerged in Hu Qianyue’s mind.

Marquess Mingguo, You Yuecheng!

In every aspect, what happened to the Sixth Princess in Mingguo Manor had nothing to do with Marquess Mingguo. At most, the Sixth Princess had a crush on Marquess Mingguo and had sneaked into the room where he slept in with some means and caused those things.

It had nothing to do with Marquess Mingguo himself. Furthermore, Marquess Mingguo did not made it clear that he would be with the Sixth Princess. He had even left before the matter of the Sixth Princess was revealed. There could not be any hidden relationship between the two of them. However, Hu Qianyue always felt that things would not be so simple.

Why did the Sixth Princess believe that as long as people of Mingguo Manor recognized it, Marquess Mingguo would marry her, treat her well, and make her happy? She even did not care about her own status. According to the fact that the Sixth Princess ruined her own reputation at that time, Hu Qianyue had thought that even if she wanted to marry her cousin, she was not willing to be his concubine.

How could the Sixth Princess dare to do that? How could she be sure that Marquess Mingguo would treat her well in the future!

If they didn’t have a tacit understanding, how could the Sixth Princess put all her eggs in one basket and do such a thing that would disgrace her and the entire royal family, and would force and even provoke the Emperor of the Qin Kingdom?

Hu Qianyue had never thought that the Sixth Princess was a reckless person.

Combined with these points, Hu Qianyue had always had a guess. So when she finished speaking, she stared at the Sixth Princess’s face. As expected, she saw a panic flashing across her face. Although the expression was fleeting, she noticed it carefully as she had been staring at her closely. Marquess Mingguo was indeed not so innocent.

Therefore, she could not allow the Sixth Princess to marry her cousin!

Such a slutty woman actually wanted to cuckold her cousin. What the Sixth Princess had done previously was only because she admired another man. She even did not care about herself and ruined her reputation. Such a woman was crazy. Who knew what kind of bad things she would do to her cousin.

Hu Qianyue became more and more determined. No matter what, she had to destroy their marriage, for herself, and also for her cousin!

After thinking about it clearly, she had an idea in her mind and insisted on her own way of doing things. All she had done today was for her own purpose. With Princess Caifeng in front of her, no matter who was in trouble, this matter would not be dealt with peacefully. Even the fact that the Sixth Princess could not stay in the hall anymore was part of her plan.

And it was part of her plan to fall out with the Sixth Princess at this time!

Anyway, the two of them had fought hand-to-hand yesterday, and there was no need to hide anymore! A trace of pride flashed across her heart. The Sixth Princess still insisted on arguing with her. Obviously, she did not figure out her real purpose.

“Hu Qianyue, are you planning something? Unfortunately, if something happens to me here, you will be the first suspect. Don’t forget that you are with me now. I have never looked down on you, but I didn’t expect you to be stupid because of envy and hate.”

The Sixth Princess tried hard to suppress her panic, raised her head and said coldly to Hu Qianyue. She leaned back and looked at her with cold eyes calmly.

“Sixth Princess, don’t worry. I won’t dare to do anything to you at this time. I’m afraid that with your character, you will plot against me if I’m not careful. I heard that two palace maids of your palace got ill yesterday and couldn’t get up.” There was a trace of strangeness in Hu Qianyue’s eyes, and her smile was cold.

The Sixth Princess’s expression immediately changed!

She thought that her palace had been well guarded, and the people around her had been screened many times. How could the news that she had punished two palace maids in her own palace yesterday spread out of the palace so quickly? Hu Qianyue was too well-informed. She thought of how Hu Qianyue blocked her way when she had just left the palace. It was obvious that someone in the palace had exchanged information with Hu Qianyue, and this person had been keeping an eye on her.

The Flower Hall in her palace was her biggest secret. If others found out, it would bring ruin and shame upon her!

“Hu Qianyue, you have way too much information. Let me guess. Did someone in the palace help you? Who is it? The Empress Dowager or Consort Su? You’ve offended the Empress Dowager in the palace that day and almost trapped her to frame Consort Xuan. Do you have something to do with Consort Su? Hu Qianyue, are you mistaken? You are going to marry into King Yan’s Manor, instead of King Chu’s Manor!”

The Sixth Princess stared at Hu Qianyue closely and watched her reaction.

The two of them were testing each other and trying to find out more about the enemy. In fact, the Sixth Princess could not rule out the possibility of the Empress Dowager helping Hu Qianyue. The people in the palace were good at pretending and usually had two faces. Who knew if the Empress Dowager had set up a trap together with Caifeng and Hu Qianyue to frame Mo Xuetong that day.

On the surface, it seemed that the Empress Dowager had been tricked by Caifeng and Hu Qianyue, but it was really hard to guess what the reality was.

However, Consort Su seemed to be more likely to be the one who helped Hu Qianyue compared to the Empress Dowager!

“Sixth Princess, you really have a good tongue. If King Chu likes me, why wouldn’t I marry into King Chu’s Manor? I heard that King Chu is even more favored by the Emperor. I think King Chu is more promising than a prince who is always locked up by the Emperor.”

Hu Qianyue looked at the Sixth Princess without avoiding her gaze, and a faint mocking smile tugged at her lip corners. When she mentioned Feng Yuxuan, she did not deliberately avoid this topic. She did not finish what she wanted to say, but the Sixth Princess understood and her face was filled with anger.

Imperial Noble Consort Wen had told her that Feng Yulei was her real elder brother. As such, she had been secretly working for him. As long as Feng Yulei became the Emperor, as his only younger sister, she would get whatever she wanted. No matter what, she would not marry into another country. It would not be difficult for her to marry You Yuecheng as his legal wife.

Thus, all of her hopes depended on Feng Yulei’s accession to the throne.

How could she not be angry when she heard the disdain in Hu Qianyue’s words for Feng Yulei? Even though she was good at enduring, she could not bear Hu Qianyue’s repeated provocations. The smile on her face had completely disappeared. She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “Hu Qianyue, you’d better give up. No matter whether you had something to do with Consort Su before or not, after you marry into Third brother’s manor, do you think Consort Su will still believe you?”

“Oh, really?” Hu Qianyue suddenly smiled and did not respond to the Sixth Princess. Instead, she stood up, walked to the window of the waterside pavilion, and looked outside. There was a meaningful smile on her face. Then she casually put the window gauze aside, turned around, and looked at the Sixth Princess with a smile.

“Sixth Princess, do you see someone coming from the other side? They seem to be looking for you.”

The Sixth Princess’s heart skipped a beat and she had a bad intuition. She stood up straight and also walked to the window. From where she stood, she could see the corridor they had come from. She and Hu Qianyue wanted to talk frankly, so the maidservants and palace maids they brought with them all stayed at the exit of the corridor outside the waterside pavilion.

Originally, the Sixth Princess thought that they had the same number of people and could keep an eye on each other.

When the Sixth Princess looked outside the window, she saw two maidservants running to the corridor in a panic. Her palace maids and Hu Qianyue’s maidservants came forward to ask. The two maidservants seemed to be flustered. They were far away, so the Sixth Princess could not see their expressions clearly, and nor could she hear what they were saying. However, she could still tell from their fast spoken speed that something bad seemed to have happened.

“What’s going on?” The Sixth Princess suddenly turned around and asked in a sharp voice.

“What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong?” Hu Qianyue narrowed her eyes and pretended to be confused. “Sixth Princess, your hearing is really good. You can hear what they are talking about clearly from such a distance?”

Seeing that she was not afraid, the Sixth Princess subconsciously felt something wrong. She turned around, ignored her and hurried out. With the glance just now, she had seen clearly that Hu Qianyue’s two maidservants were still there but there was only one personal maid of hers. The reason why she left them there was that she wanted them to keep an eye on Hu Qianyue’s maidservants. How could one of her palace maids leave without reporting to her?

Did something happen? Didn’t things work out the way she expected?

The Sixth Princess felt something bad…
