Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Er said with a serious expression: ”If Wangfei doesn't believe this servant, then I might as well find a reason to send this servant away!”
Wei Qing pondered for a moment and decided to trust Zhu Er this time.
”You should know my temper!”
Zhu Er nodded.
Die'er stared at the painting in front of her, feeling awkward no matter how she looked at it.
”Since Dia'Er is back, we shall stay in the palace. As for paintings... ” She frowned as she thought about it, ”Tomorrow, I will make a trip back to the Prime Minister's Estate. At that time, everything will naturally come to an end.”
Painting nodded, ”We'll do as Eldest Miss says.”

In the silent night, Protector Manor seemed especially lonely.
Chu Yin held his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the full moon in the sky.
Just then, a report came in from outside. The crown prince, Xiao Hanqi, had come!
Chu Yin frowned as a hint of contemplation appeared in his eyes.
”In the front hall, please.”
He was certain that Xiao Hanqi did not come here for the palace feast assassin.
In the front hall, the servant girl poured Xiao Hanqi a cup of tea.
After drinking two cups consecutively without seeing Chu Yin's figure, he could not help but be a little angry.
Just as he was about to summon his men to investigate, he heard footsteps approaching.
Chu Yin said with a bland smile, ”Is the crown prince here late at night related to the assassins of the palace feast?”
Although Xiao Hanqi felt that Chu Yin was simply hanging out with him, he was, after all, about to return to the Southern Kingdom tomorrow, and was no longer the proton who wanted to give vent to his anger in the Northern Kingdom.
”Tomorrow, the Seventh Prince will return to the Southern Kingdom.” Tomorrow, the Seventh Prince will return to the Southern Kingdom.
Hearing Xiao Hanqi's hypocritical words, Chu Yin's heart scoffed, as he had already guessed the reason he came here so late in the night.
”The crown prince is truly a loyal person. However, since he came here late at night, is he not afraid of the Prince Chu's thoughts?” Chu Yin looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.
Xiao Hanqi forced out a dry smile. ”Seventh Prince is actually quite meticulous.”
”Crown Prince, you are flattering me. If I am only here to send you off, this prince still has other things to do, so I won't say much to you.” Only this prince will remember this friendship! ”
”Seventh Prince, wait a moment.” Xiao Hanqi felt that once this person became unyielding, he could really do whatever he wanted.
Thinking about the past Chu Yin, how could he have used such a tone and attitude to talk to him?
”Is there anything else, Crown Prince?” Chu Yin asked while pretending not to know.
Xiao Hanqi thought for a while with furrowed brows, ”Third Brother will definitely know that I have come late at night. With Third Brother's suspicious personality, even if I didn't say anything to Seventh Prince, he would definitely treat Seventh Prince as his enemy, not to mention … ”
This deliberately didn't finish the sentence, giving others ample time to think.
”What else?” A tinge of gloom appeared in Chu Yin's eyes, and his tone also darkened, ”If the crown prince has anything, feel free to speak out.”
Xiao Hanqi raised his teacup, purposely hanging his appetite. ”I'm afraid everyone can tell what the Seventh Prince is thinking about Third Sister-in-Law. Third Brother and Seventh Prince are not destined to become allies. ”
Chu Yin remained silent for a moment, then chuckled, ”This prince and the Prince Chu are definitely not fated to become allies, can it be possible for me to become allies with the crown prince?”
Xiao Hanqi stopped smiling and said, ”Of course!”
”This prince would like to hear how this prince and the crown prince became allies.”
Xiao Hanqi squinted his eyes as he quickly calculated in his heart.
”I can help Seventh Prince obtain Third Sister-in-Law, and Seventh Prince can help me stabilize my position as Crown Prince!”
After Chu Yin heard this, he did not reply for a long time.
