She laughed maniacally, the ruthlessness in her eyes laced with poison.

Her mad, sharp appearance made even Bai Chen, the White Moon Society's leader, commonly known as the Evil Cult Master, feel apprehensive.

He simply avoided the woman's gaze, turning directly to Zhou Yun, the Little Prince of Nan Yue, who was standing to the side with a gloomy face, and asked him again in a very uneasy tone, "Your Highness, what do you think we should do with them?"

These words were directed at Zhou Yun, but they were also a warning to the woman in the yellow dress beside him, telling her that matters of state could never be based on her personal grievances.

However, the woman in the yellow dress didn't seem to understand.

Before Zhou Yun could answer, she immediately interrupted Bai Chen in a stern voice, ordering, "What to do? Isn't it obvious? The Crown Prince should be kept alive, but as for that bitch..."

"It would be best to tear her to pieces!"

"No, first find a few beggars to take care of her properly, then take her life!"

"Nonsense!" The woman in the yellow dress was wearing an arrogant expression, but Zhou Yun couldn't help but interrupt her, glancing at her with some displeasure, and said, "If those two are indeed the Crown Prince and Princess of Wei, we can't act rashly."

"Let's see what they do first. It's always best to have an extra bargaining chip when negotiating terms with the imperial court."

"Bargaining chip? Zhou Yun, are you out of your mind?"

Hearing this, the woman in the yellow dress immediately looked resentful, interrupting him, "That Yu Qingwu is just a lowly merchant's daughter, and an orphan at that. She was only able to become the Crown Princess because of... Shi... because of seducing the Wei Dynasty Crown Prince!"

"She's just a cheap harlot who uses her looks to get ahead! The royal family can't stand her, they'd be happy if she died, so why would they come to save her? It's even less likely that they would pay any price for her."

The woman gritted her teeth, her eyes revealing obvious jealousy and resentment.

Zhou Yun saw it all, his gaze gradually darkening.

However, looking at the woman's slightly bulging abdomen, he said in a deep voice, "Alright, Wangfei (title for a prince's wife), don't worry about these things. Just focus on taking care of yourself."

"But..."

"But what? Don't tell me you really want to kill the Crown Princess of Wei? Do you really think she's just an orphan? Do you know how much the Wei army stationed in the southern border values her?"

"If we can capture that Crown Princess alive, we might even be able to control the southern border army."

Seeing that the woman still wanted to say something, Zhou Yun immediately explained.

However, the woman in the yellow dress was still unrelenting.

She went mad, retorting with red eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about? She's just a lowly bitch! How could the southern border army care about her? Those... those are all rumors spread by the Wei Crown Prince to give her the position of Crown Princess."

"I don't know what kind of bewitching potion that vixen gave him. He can cover up her crimes of murder, so what else can't he do?"

"Zhou Yun, believe me, she's just a useless, lowly thing. Immediately send someone to bring her here, find a few beggars..."

"Enough!" Zhou Yun said, his face gloomy, finally unable to bear it any longer.

He glared at her coldly and said, "Get out, go back to your room and stay there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two maids immediately came up and dragged her away.

After she left, Zhou Yun turned to look at Bai Chen with a gloomy face and said, "Bai Chen, send a few people to keep an eye on her and don't let her ruin things."

"Yes."

Bai Chen nodded slightly and continued to discuss a few more things with Zhou Yun before leaving the dungeon.

As soon as he came out, he heard the people below reporting that the Little Prince of Nan Yue's Wangfei had smashed all the porcelain in his room and was yelling and cursing, truly a shrew.

"Ignore her."

Bai Chen waved his hand, seemingly used to it, but couldn't help but wonder.

He frowned and asked his subordinate, Bai Gang, "Tell me, Bai Gang, our Little Prince can be considered handsome, right? Although he can't be considered the most handsome man in Nan Yue, he's still a handsome man, right? And he's still a member of the imperial family. So how did he marry such a commoner Wangfei? And one who's such a shrew."

"Looking at her demeanor, she even orders our Little Prince around."

Hearing this, Bai Gang sighed. He looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was around, he lowered his voice and said to Bai Chen furtively.

"Hey, I heard that the Little Wangfei was originally a female disciple of the Xiao Sect. Because she framed her fellow disciple by drugging her, she was outsmarted and sent to the bed of a cook. Later, her master decided to marry her to the cook, but she tried to kill herself. In the end, she didn't die, so she had to follow the cook and was expelled from the sect, returning to her old fishing village to live."

"That... our Little Prince, wasn't he previously hiding in the Xiao Sect? So, he became that unlucky cook."

"And then unluckily married such a shrew..."

"You know, our Little Prince has always been a responsible person. Thinking that he had touched her body, he had to be responsible for her, so he married this woman."

"As for... why she orders our Little Prince around, I heard... the Wei Crown Prince she likes is extremely handsome. Presumably, she dislikes our Little Prince for being ugly."

The Little Prince is ugly?

That's right, the Little Prince wears a mask all day to disguise himself.

That mask is indeed not very good-looking.

Bai Chen spread his hands, somewhat helplessly, "They all say heroes love beauty, but who would have thought that this shrew also loves beauty."

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and his expression became serious. He instructed Bai Gang again.

"By the way, Bai Gang, keep a closer eye on those two these few days, and investigate further to ensure their identities. Also, have people guard the prison more closely, so they don't have a chance to escape. I heard from the Little Prince that those two are outstanding disciples of Xiao Rongqi. The Wei Crown Prince is skilled in martial arts, ruthless, and very meticulous."

"As for the Crown Princess, although she suffered an accident in the past that left her unable to practice martial arts, she is also a ruthless character who can kill without bloodshed. I heard that Xiao Rongqi's niece was scared out of her mind by her."

"With such a woman, it's no wonder that the shrew can't beat her. This shouting and killing all the time, how can she compare to that delicate and lovable vixen who knows how to act."

Bai Chen said with a face full of sarcasm, mocking the Little Wangfei, but he didn't know that the vixen had already set her sights on him.

…

Three days later, Bai Chen had just finished interrogating Xie Qiyun, the one who had been clamoring the loudest in the dungeon, when he saw Bai Gang running in from outside, panting.

His face darkened and he reprimanded, "Bai Gang, why are you in such a fluster?"

"Master, it's bad." Bai Gang frowned, looking anxious. He glanced warily at Xie Qiyun, who was huddled in the corner looking at him, and then pulled Bai Chen out of the dungeon.

After making sure that no one was around, he said, "Master, some rumors suddenly spread in the city, saying that you..."

Bai Gang hesitated, stopping halfway through his sentence, looking at Bai Chen with extreme apprehension.

Seeing him like this, Bai Chen became impatient and asked, "Saying what about me? I'll forgive you, speak quickly!"
