The few young masters who assisted the Six Princess in staging a trap were dragged out, each weighing a hefty fifty pounds. Chen Hai watched as the Crown Prince of Kang, Duke Qing's Heir, and Prince Rong were taken away, unable to suppress a sigh. They were all of the highest nobility, so why did they have to provoke the Eldest Princess? This time, both inside and outside the palace would surely be shaken.
Meanwhile, Yun Qingyu, who had everything under control, returned to the Princess Manor. With graceful steps, she had already cast aside all her worries.
Xin Yao attended to her bath and changing of clothes. Gently, she untied Yun Qingyu's hair and removed her jeweled accessories. As Yun Qingyu stepped into the bath, warm steam enveloped her.
After her bath, Xin Yao carefully draped a towel over her and dried her hair. The two then enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together. Only after that did Yun Qingyu take a cup of tea and leisurely walk to the window seat, sitting down to savor it.
At that moment, the steward approached to report that Duke Kang, Duke Qing, and Prince Rong requested an audience.
"How dare they conspire against me and still have the face to plead?" Yun Qingyu's expression was indifferent as she spoke softly, "I wish to rest. I will see no one."
The steward understood and bowed before retreating.
Xin Yao stood by silently, usually like a shadow, but today she kept glancing at Yun Qingyu's face, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
Noticing Xin Yao's unusual gaze, Yun Qingyu slightly turned her head and asked softly, "What do you want to say?"
Xin Yao bit her lip in silence for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, a youthful voice from outside interrupted them. It was Hong Yu, speaking with a soft tone: "Princess Consort, I’ve come to pay my respects."
Xin Yao immediately perked up at the sight of the flamboyantly dressed Hong Yu and thought to herself: This little brat is here to vie for attention again.
Her gaze towards Hong Yu was filled with wariness and hostility; somehow, she resembled a protective dog guarding its food.
Yun Qingyu looked at Xin Yao, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth, feeling an inexplicable joy that brought forth a sweet smile.
Hong Yu quickly interjected, “Your Highness, do you like my outfit?”
Yun Qingyu turned his head slightly, his expression returning to its usual cold indifference. “The new clothes are nice, quite beautiful. How much did they cost?”
Hong Yu's expression froze; the mention of money was a sensitive topic. He could only respond with an awkward smile, “I just spent a little money. I won a bit at the casino last night.”
Yun Qingyu chuckled lightly. “You won a little last night, and today you’re wearing these clothes. As far as This Palace knows, such expensive fabric is mostly used by nobles for custom-made garments. It's rare to find this kind of material and style in ready-made shops, and even among high-ranking officials, few can afford such top-quality fabric.”
Hong Yu cleared his throat softly and pouted playfully, “Your Highness, I’m here to compete for your favor. We can skip over unimportant matters; I truly came to win your affection.”
Yun Qingyu paused for a moment, calmly staring at Hong Yu before asking, “How do you plan to compete for my favor?”
With bright eyes, Hong Yu boldly replied, “Tonight, I will attend to your bedchamber.”
Xin Yao's hands clenched tightly at her sides, her cold gaze fixed on Hong Yu's slender neck as she thought: Would breaking his neck be too quick?
Hearing Xin Yao’s thoughts, Yun Qingyu suppressed a laugh and playfully looked at Hong Yu. “In that case, take off your clothes first. This Palace needs to check if there are any flaws in your body or if you’re hiding any deadly weapons.”
Xin Yao was taken aback.
Hong Yu was also stunned for a moment before pouting again. “I genuinely like Your Highness; how could I possibly hide any deadly weapons on me? You really don’t trust me at all.”
Yun Qingyu casually commanded, "Take off your clothes."
Hong Yu's face flushed with embarrassment, stammering for a long time before saying, "I only let Your Highness see."
Seeing Hong Yu's gaze, sharp and silent like a knife directed at Xin Yao, Hong Yu was suddenly alarmed and quickly added, "Your Highness wants Xin Yao to leave."
Yun Qingyu raised an eyebrow, and before he could speak, Xin Yao moved swiftly, grabbing Hong Yu by the nape of his neck as if lifting a chick.
"Subordinate is the master's personal shadow guard and cannot leave the master's side for even a moment," Xin Yao said coldly as he tossed Hong Yu out.
