The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

"If you can't get close, then don't get close." Just wait for someone to invite you. Yan Muxi didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Based on Qian Manman's understanding of her daughter, she would never give up so easily. However, until she left the palace, she did nothing.

Seeing the mother and daughter about to board the carriage back home, a young eunuch hurried over and said, "Wait, Madam Yan, please wait."

When he ran to the carriage, the young eunuch panted and said, "His Royal Highness just learned that Madam Yan came to the palace to ask for an audience, and ordered me to invite Madam Yan to the Qianqing Palace to meet her."

Qian Manman subconsciously looked at Yan Muxi, who looked calm as he knelt down to salute the eunuch, "Please lead the way, eunuch."

The eunuch dodged and said, "My lady, you are too polite. Please follow me to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Qian Manman's mood, which had just calmed down, began to feel uneasy again. She never thought that she would be called back after she was about to get on the carriage.

In the side hall behind the Qianqing Palace, Yu Jinzhou saw from afar the beautiful figure that was engraved in his mind and could not be erased no matter how hard he tried, and his heartbeat began to quicken.

The passage of several years has not left any mark on the woman's body. She is still as charming and alluring as in his memory, in fact even more beautiful than in his memory. The way she smiles sweetly and walks slowly towards him is more alluring than the goblin in the mountains.

Yu Jinzhou was born with a vengeful nature. From childhood to adulthood, anyone who provoked or bullied him would be repaid a thousandfold or a hundredfold.

Three years ago, because of the conspiracy of the woman in front of him, he was carried back like a dead dog and slept for three days. The humiliation he suffered was greater than all the previous humiliations combined.

Countless nights, he imagined that she was still alive, kneeling at his feet and crying for his forgiveness, cautiously begging for his forgiveness...

That's right, even though he hated her to the core, he still couldn't bear to see her die. He only thought about how to humiliate her so that he could relieve the hatred in his heart.

When he learned that the person he hated so much might still be alive, he almost lost all his sanity. He was willing to give her a try, just like his father, even if he had lost all humanity, just to bet that she was still alive.

Qian Haochuan was the first one. If Qian Haochuan died and the person did not show up, he would continue to look for the next person to perform the operation until all the people related to her disappeared.

Fortunately, despicable methods are often the most effective. Before the knife could see blood, she couldn't help but come over on her own initiative.

Just now, before he saw the person, he was still thinking about how to humiliate him to relieve the hatred in his heart.

But now when she really saw the face that had haunted her dreams, the resentment in her heart seemed to disappear in an instant. She just wanted to hug the person tightly, hold him by her side, and never let go.

In a blink of an eye, Yan Muxi had slowly stepped into the palace. She stopped five steps away from Yu Jinzhou and bowed respectfully, "I, a commoner, greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Qian Manman also bowed at the same time, until her bent knees became sore, and without waiting for the call, she secretly raised her eyes and saw the prince's eyes fixed on her daughter, staring at her like a beast staring at its prey.

For a moment, Qian Manman was even more panicked. She was so weak in the knees that she wondered if she should kneel down and beg for mercy. Then she heard Yu Jinzhou say, "Don't be so polite, both of you. Hurry up and stand up!"

Yan Muxi stood up slowly and leaned over to support Qian Manman.

After standing up, Qian Manman looked at Yan Muxi and Yu Jinzhou cautiously, her heart beating so wildly that it seemed like it would burst out of her throat in the next moment.

Seeing Yan Muxi frowning and keeping silent, Yu Jinzhou raised a meaningful smile and said, "I heard that Madam Qian came to the palace specifically to ask me for help?"

"Your Highness! I do have something to ask for. My cousin Qian Haochuan was wrongfully imprisoned. I beg Your Highness to review the case and clear my cousin's name." Yan Muxi's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and was somewhat respectful, but you definitely didn't hear that she was begging for help.

The ironic smile on Yu Jinzhou's lips widened, "Wrongly imprisoned? As far as I know, the evidence of Madam Qian's brother's accidental murder is irrefutable, and the Ministry of Justice has already made a final decision. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to prove Madam Qian's brother's innocence!"

"My cousin was wrongly accused. Your Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of Dafeng. I believe that Your Highness will be able to clear his name." Yan Muxi still frowned, and her tone did not change from before.

Yu Jinzhou suddenly felt an inexplicable rage in his heart, and wanted to step forward and teach the woman in front of him a lesson, but his eyes caught sight of Qian Manman standing aside, and he could only suppress his anger temporarily.

"I got a pound of the best white tea. I heard that Prime Minister Yan likes white tea the most. It just so happens that Madam Yan is coming to the palace today, so I will bring half a pound back for Prime Minister Yan."

Qian Manman didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to Bai Cha, but she knew that the prince's reward could not be refused, so she bowed and thanked him, "Your Highness, I will wait for your husband to thank you for your concern!"

"Madam Yan, there is no need to be polite." Yu Jinzhou ordered the eunuch guarding the palace gate, "Take Madam Yan to Changle Palace to get white tea."

The eunuch obeyed the order and walked to Qian Manman, "Madam Yan, please!"

Qian Manman did not dare to disobey the prince, and subconsciously took a step to leave. Seeing her daughter standing beside her, she suddenly came to her senses, thought for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Sanniang's legs are better than mine, why don't you let Sanniang go for me!"

Meeting A'niang's anxious eyes, Yan Muxi just wanted to sigh that A'niang has really grown a lot now, but she grew up and matured a little late.

"It is better for Aunt to go with Father-in-law. My niece has something important to discuss with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Qian Manman glanced at Yu Jinzhou and felt very worried.

Yan Muxi smiled and comforted, "Aunt, please go quickly! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, let's not delay His Highness for too long."

Seeing that both she and Yu Jinzhou had smiles on their faces, Qian Manman was worried, but she still walked out, looking back every few steps.

Apart from the eunuchs guarding the entrance, there were only two people left in the hall. Yu Jinzhou no longer hesitated and strode forward until his body was almost touching Yan Muxi's, and he did not retreat even a bit.

Yu Jinzhou raised his hand, held her chin, and forced her to look up at him.

Yan Muxi did as he wished, looking at him quietly with calm eyes.

Yu Jinzhou tightened the hand that was holding the delicate chin a little, but just as he exerted force, he saw a light in his watery eyes, and his hand relaxed unconsciously.

After a moment of silent confrontation, Yu Jinzhou finally couldn't help but speak first, "If I don't ask someone to stop the carriage, does Aunt Wang really intend to retreat without a fight?"

Yan Muxi asked back, "Is it up to me whether I fight or retreat?"

"Aunt Wang is really insightful. I can't blame you for thinking about me day and night for so long." Yu Jinzhou raised his lips, "I am very curious, what if Aunt Wang fails to save the person she wants to save, whether she fights or retreats?"

Yan Muxi also raised the corners of his lips, "Since I have appeared in front of Your Highness, I am going to risk everything. If Your Highness is willing to let the Qian family go, I am willing to be commanded by Your Highness. If you are not willing to let them go, Your Highness does not need to be curious about how I will react, just wait and see patiently."

"I have never been a patient person, but I am willing to make an exception for Aunt Wang."

After Yu Jinzhou finished speaking, he saw the calmness in Yan Muxi's eyes turn into astonishment, and the smile at the corner of his lips widened a little.

"Rather than a long wait, I would rather enjoy the present moment... I will spare Qian Haochuan and let Aunt Wang be my woman in exchange. Is Aunt Wang willing?"
