"Do you know what will happen if you accidentally say the wrong thing? I have a beast - taming field. The beasts there are always hungry. Their favorite food is bones. A person like you, full of bones, is exactly their cup of tea. Mu Fengqie, do you want to give it a try?"
Yuan Yuze narrowed his eyes into slits. His expression as he looked at Mu Fengqie was like that of a hunter eyeing its prey. The sinister look in his eyes even startled Xiao Qing.
At this moment, Mu Fengqie also looked up to size up Yuan Yuze. This Yuan Yuze was much more troublesome than Yuan Yuchuan. They were brothers born of the same parents, so they always stuck together. The Third Prince always protected the Crown Prince. It was estimated that the Third Prince had played a crucial role in helping the Crown Prince get to where he was today.
However, if he thought he could scare Mu Fengqie, his little tricks were too naive. She, Mu Fengqie, was a famous lady and had never been afraid of anyone!
Thinking of this, Mu Fengqie slightly parted her thin lips and let out a cold snort. "Well, we'll have to see if my tongue is faster or the Third Prince's actions are faster. After all, my status can't be compared with that of the Crown Prince. If I die, it's just one less worthless life in this world. But what about the Crown Prince? Does the Third Prince think my analysis makes sense?"
Yuan Yuze thought that the little woman in front of him would tremble with fear after hearing his threat. But the woman in front of him looked completely calm. After saying this, she even calmly sipped her tea right in front of them. It was really infuriating!
He, the Third Prince, was decisive in killing and had never been despised like this by a woman. At this moment, seeing Mu Fengqie's audacious look, he was filled with the urge to kill.
"Mu Fengqie, I've remembered you. You'd better be careful. Don't fall into my hands, or you won't even know how you died!"
Yuan Yuze stared at Mu Fengqie with gritted teeth. The killing intent in his eyes was so intense that he seemed eager to end Mu Fengqie's life right away.
Mu Fengqie was not afraid. Seeing the blood - red eyes of the Third Prince, she showed a satisfied smile. "The Third Prince can rest assured. I'm a tough nut to crack. However, I don't want to be an enemy of the two princes. I just hope that the two princes won't cause me any more trouble in the future. Otherwise, even if I don't care about my own life, the silver needles in my hand can take yours in a split second."
As soon as the words were out, a gust of wind blew in front of them. A small black shadow whizzed past their eyes.
Looking in the direction of the black shadow, they saw a tiny silver needle firmly stuck in the center of a flower in a flowerpot not far away.
Seeing such a terrifying scene, Yuan Yuchuan and Yuan Yuze widened their eyes. They no longer dared to underestimate the woman in front of them. Although they always boasted of their own cruelty, they knew that the woman in front of them was no easy opponent.
"Mu Fengqie, you'd better not play any tricks in front of me. Your life is nothing, but don't forget about the little one in your belly and your man. If you want them to be safe, you'd better put away all your thoughts!"
Yuan Yuchuan's words made Mu Fengqie, who had been calm all along, tense up. Her own life didn't matter much, but she couldn't involve Jing Xunce. She also realized that she couldn't anger Yuan Yuchuan and Yuan Yuze at this time.
"You..." Mu Fengqie gritted her teeth tightly. Her hands were tightly clenched into fists. Even though the sharp nails dug into her palms, she didn't feel a bit of pain. "What on earth do you want?"
Seeing Mu Fengqie so tense, the two princes showed smiles. They felt a bit more comfortable in their hearts. "Don't be so tense. I'm here today to make a deal with you. How about you come to me? What's so good about Yuan Yuhan? Isn't it better to follow me than to follow a mere prince?"
Mu Fengqie didn't understand what he was up to. Was it just because she had helped the Fifth Prince that the Crown Prince wanted to pry her away from the Fifth Prince?
"I don't understand what the Crown Prince really means. The Crown Prince might as well be straightforward. If the Crown Prince offers favorable terms, I might consider cooperating with the Crown Prince."
Now that she was alone in the imperial city, even a dying camel was bigger than a horse. She couldn't anger the people in the palace no matter what. However, she could use Yuan Yuchuan as a means to get closer to the palace.
Hearing this, Yuan Yuchuan's eyes lit up. "Father has always wanted you to enter the Imperial Medical Office. As long as you agree to stand on the same side as me and enter the Imperial Medical Office, you can make your own requests. As long as they're not too excessive, I'll satisfy you."
The Imperial Medical Office? If she pretended to cooperate with the Crown Prince, wouldn't she be able to enter the palace openly?
It seemed that God was not too bad to her!
It was just like looking for something high and low but finding it without any effort!
She had been worrying about this matter, and the stupid Crown Prince had come to her on his own. She was instantly excited and began to scheme on how to handle this matter.
She pretended to frown imperceptibly, looking as if she was in a difficult situation. "The Crown Prince's request really puts me in a bind. I've already refused the Emperor. How can I enter the Imperial Medical Office?"
"What's wrong with the Imperial Medical Office? If you agree, there'll be no shortage of wealth and honor for you." The Third Prince glanced at Mu Fengqie and said mockingly.
Mu Fengqie suppressed the excitement in her heart and still looked very embarrassed. "It's not impossible to cooperate with the Crown Prince, but I won't do bad things like killing and arson. Moreover, I have one more request."
Hearing that Mu Fengqie's tone was a bit loose, the faces of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince showed joy. Now that the Emperor was interested in Mu Fengqie, she was undoubtedly a pawn for them to curry favor with the Emperor.
"Just make your requests. I'll satisfy them all." Yuan Yuchuan said excitedly.
Now that the Fifth Prince was not in the imperial city, wasn't the imperial city the Crown Prince's world? So the Crown Prince wanted to win the Emperor's heart to his side while the annoying Fifth Prince was away.
"Really?" Mu Fengqie raised her eyes and asked with a look of doubt. "I've heard that Shanzhenhaiwei is the Third Prince's property. I want one - tenth of its monthly profit."
Hearing this, the Third Prince's face instantly darkened.
Mu Fengqie was really asking for too much. One - tenth of the monthly profit of Shanzhenhaiwei was no small amount. Moreover, the customers of Shanzhenhaiwei were all royal relatives, noble families, and young masters and ladies from prominent families in the imperial city. The silver it earned every month was quite a lot.
