Chapter Twelve: The Bait

  "Come out! Ye Yusan, you cheap woman, get out here!"

  Nan Mu returned to the Zhao Ming Palace and rushed straight to Ye Yu Xian's residence. He hated people who were two-faced, especially those who pretended to be loyal but actually had ulterior motives. Since they dared to let Ye Lie Feng that old scoundrel go tattle to his father, it was clear they didn't take him, the crown prince, seriously at all.

  Ye Yushang was just in the house, she wasn't afraid of this foolish prince, but didn't want to be on familiar terms with such a person. Just like a mad dog barking wildly, let him shout whatever he wanted.

  "Master, the prince seems to be very angry. Do you want to go out and take a look?" Xiaoyu heard this with a start, as sometimes when the prince smiled, his eyes would have a sinister glint that made her feel a chill run down her spine every time she saw it.

  Ye Yuxuan fiddled with the jewelry bestowed by the Emperor on her wedding day, and finally found one or two pieces that caught her eye. She decided to put them away, planning to bring them along when she made her escape.

  Peacock golden hairpin, flowers blooming jade pendant, and swan playing water earrings, each one is a treasure. It's said that these are all tributes from other countries, it can be seen that the emperor has put in a lot of thought to make this political marriage happen.

  Hehe......

  Take out the night pearl from the box and take a look. This thing is often seen in ancient tombs, but it's rare to see one that's almost as big as a fist. It's useless now, but it was very useful in ancient tombs.

  "Little fish, take good care of these accessories for me. As for the others, you can take whatever you want." She had always been generous with people, and now she was a wealthy person.

  "This...". The little fish had received quite a few rewards in the past few days, enough to buy a house in the city and live out her later years in comfort.

  Ye Yuxuan turned around, grabbed Xiao Yu's hand, and casually picked up the golden bangle on the table and stuffed it into Xiao Yu's hand. She said with all her heart: "Master has always treated you as a younger sister, in the past, now, and in the future."

  "Thank you, Master!" The little fish heard these warm words and smiled happily.

  What's wrong?

  The result of being unreasonable is indignation, and the result of indignation is kicking in the door.

  Nan Mu kicked open the door, saw Ye Yuxuan calmly talking to Yatou, and became even angrier. He rushed over and slapped Ye Yuxuan in the face, still unsatisfied, he kicked Xiaoyu again.

  The little fish fell to the ground and didn't dare get up, while Ye Yuxuan was touching her burning face, wanting to slap him twice, but remembered the palace rules taught by her mother and endured it.

  However, she would remember this slap, so she opened her mouth to warn the prince: "Your Highness, please think of the consequences next time you raise your hand?"

  Clap! Clap!

  Nan Mu Yu's face turned red with rage as he slapped Ye Yurong twice, his eyes blazing with fury. "How dare you!" he thundered, grabbing her collar and pulling her close. "You think I'm afraid of you? Afraid of the Ye family? You think I won't dare touch you?"

  "What did you mean by that?" Ye Yuxuan didn't care about the pain on her face and wanted to know the root of the prince's anger.

  Hmph!

  Nan Mu's nose twitched slightly, his eyes narrowed to a slit, and his gaze turned into a sharp sword that seemed to be able to see through Ye Yu Xiang's thoughts at a glance.

  Yeyu Xiang's body trembled slightly as she met his gaze, wondering if her father had revealed the truth to the Emperor at this moment.

  Her heart was pounding violently, she was really worried that it would suddenly jump out of her mouth and let Namu Yu see through her own emptiness.

  "Stop pretending, if you hadn't gone crying to that useless big brother of yours, how would Ye Lie Feng have dared to impeach the Crown Prince in front of the Emperor just to take a concubine for him?" Nan Mu Yu gritted her teeth and glared with eyes that seemed like they could swallow someone whole.

  So that's how it is!

  Ye Yuxuan let go of Nanmu Yu's hand, turned around to face the mirror, and saw the clear five-claw mark on her face. She reached out to touch it again, then looked at the prince from the mirror, calmly opening her mouth: "Your Highness came to question me for a lowly concubine, don't you think that's beneath your dignity?"

  "How dare you! I can kill you!" Nan Mu Yu had always been proud and arrogant, how could he tolerate such cold ridicule?

  Haha...... Hahaha......

  Ye Yuxuan didn't get angry, instead she burst out laughing crazily. Suddenly, she turned around and leaned in close to Nanmu Yu's ear, lowering her voice to say: "If you want that Xiao Ruoluan of yours to be buried together with you, let the hundred or so vengeful spirits from the Crown Prince's residence accompany you in death, then you can very well take care of this palace right now. However, you must be clear, some things once done, cannot be undone."

  Sigh...

  The little fish took a deep breath of cold air, and such words actually came from the mouth of her usual master, making her stare with an open mouth in disbelief.

  Nan Mu's hand rose again, and Ye Yuxuan didn't resist, instead closing her eyes and tilting her face up. Seeing her attitude, his suspended hand stopped in mid-air, unwillingly, slowly, and then put it down again.

  She didn't feel any pain on her face, Ye Yuxuan opened her eyes and revealed a triumphant smile, throwing out the bait to Nan Mu Yu: "Your Highness, how about we discuss a deal?"

  "What deal?" Nanmu Yu didn't want to give in, but he was also very helpless.

  "This palace will help you keep Xiao Ruoluan from the Emperor." Ye Yusan said it very lightly, and also very confidently that this man would definitely agree.

  As expected, with a single thought of keeping Xiao Ruoluan's South Mu Yu Xiang, he didn't even think about it and responded to the voice: "As long as you can let Father Emperor not drive Xiao Ruoluan out of the courtyard, this palace will agree to whatever you want."

  "Don't worry, I don't like to make things difficult for others either. However, if someone owes me something, I will return it double, and the prince is no exception." Ye Yuxuan said with a smile, her smile was very beautiful, her pink cheeks blooming like flowers.

  "Speak plainly!" Nanmu Yu shouted impatiently.

  "The three slaps just now were the prince's teachings, and I can only accept them. However, if this tone doesn't come out, I won't be happy. If I'm not happy, I won't have the mood to do things for others." Ye Yuxuan carefully explained, wondering if the prince would humble himself for love?

  Nan Mu nodded understandingly and stretched his head over to Ye Yuxuan.

  However, Ye Yuxuan stood still and slowly opened her mouth again: "This palace is a well-educated lady, doesn't want people to say that this palace is below the upper, so..."
