After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 240 Eye Disease
The rumors surrounding Princess Dongchen and the Crown Prince of Beilin have caused quite a stir, with the Crown Prince's impotence resurfacing once again.

The crowd watched with amusement, wondering how long the crown prince, who could not bear children, could remain in his position.

The person being discussed acted as if nothing had happened, never missing a day of court or official business.

The Second Prince, who was struggling with his schemes, was furious. The person who devised the plan had vanished without a trace. He was being relentlessly pressured by the Crown Prince in the court, and now he was caught in a dilemma.

Upon seeing the Crown Prince from afar, the Second Prince swallowed his hatred, put on a fake face, and went to greet him, pretending to beat his chest and stamp his feet.

"I am heartbroken to hear that my elder brother has been troubled by rumors recently."

The passing courtiers slowed their pace slightly, listening intently so as not to miss a single word.

Yu Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his icy blue eyes.

"My second brother looks pale and sickly today, but the male entertainers in the manor are doing their best."

Everyone knows that the Second Prince dislikes women but prefers men; his tastes are quite peculiar.

Even if the court officials knew, they dared not mention it to his face. The second prince was deeply favored by the emperor, and his mother was a noble consort. Who would dare to speak out against him?

The word "second" made the Second Prince's face turn ugly. Before Yu Changfeng returned to Beilin, although he was the Second Prince, he was the officially designated next ruler.
He was the eldest son of the Northern Lin clan. All of this changed after Yu Changfeng returned. How could someone who was not worthy of the royal surname sit in the position of crown prince and be adopted by the empress?

The second prince forced a twitching smile from the corner of his eye, "Brother, I have devoted myself to sharing Father's burdens, yet those rumors have offended your ears..."

"You seem to know your place quite well."

After saying this, Yu Changfeng turned and left.

Seeing the Second Prince being unilaterally crushed and left feeling utterly defeated, the ministers all lowered their heads and hurried away, leaving only the Second Prince with a livid face, filled with rage but with nowhere to vent it.

Everyone in the court could see the situation clearly, yet everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb; the ministers who were on the sidelines and those who remained neutral had different thoughts.

Yu Changfeng sat arrogantly in the carriage, looking thoughtfully at the contents of the letter.

The Southern Moon National Preceptor, who had initially refused to cooperate with him, now offered to cooperate, with his targets being Eastern Chen and Northern Lin.

He scoffed and casually tossed the letter aside. "Interesting."

The noble advisor of the Southern Moon, with his clear breeze and bright moon, is actually interested in the throne. At that time, his position will be illegitimate and he will be criticized by the people.

Yu Changfeng's thoughts turned back. Everyone knew that the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor was an immortal, but no one knew that he was ruthless and extremely cunning. What was the meaning behind his sudden desire to seize the throne of the Eastern Chen monarch?
Or maybe...

“Go investigate the Valley of Divine Healers,” he hesitated for a moment, “with Princess Nanyue.”

Before Nuannuan took over Princess Nanyue's body, why did the Empress of Nanyue allow Princess Nanyue to recruit many male concubines, and why were all the male concubines of similar age?

After receiving the order, the guard hurriedly rushed to the carriage and reported, "Master, Princess Dongchen Fule has arrived in Beilin and has been settled in the post station."

Yu Changfeng took out a tael of silver wrapped in an embroidered handkerchief from his bosom and rubbed it. "Send someone to keep an eye on her, lest someone with ulterior motives take her life."

The little girl was loved by Nuannuan in Nanyue; if she died, Nuannuan would be heartbroken.

sad?

Hua Lingyan stared expressionlessly at the leisurely Grand Preceptor, her usually dull eyes now filled with murderous intent, repeating the sentence word by word.

"Your Highness will not be sad."

After arriving at Zuijunju, he maintained a defensive posture, gripping the hilt of his sword with his right hand and staring intently at the Grand Preceptor.

Qinghe smiled faintly, gestured for him to sit down, took a sip of tea, and then slowly uttered a few words.

"The leader of the alliance is also the princess's husband."

Not to mention that killing or banishing him would hurt Nuan Nuan, his plan still needs the help of someone he has never tried before.

One sentence left Hua Lingyan speechless: they were all the princess's husbands and had no right to decide the fate of others.

Seeing his silence, Qinghe smiled calmly and got straight to the point, "Young Master Hua is now a member of the Feather Dragon Guard," then, seeing his killing intent rise again, she changed the subject.
"I have no intention of revealing your identity, and I will help Young Master Hua take a position in the Censorate."

Hua Lingyan stood up nimbly and refused decisively.

"No need."

He didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, but he knew that there was a price to pay for what you gained.

He belongs to His Highness alone in this life; no one can command him.

Qinghe smiled as he watched Hua Lingyan leave rudely, neither pleased nor angry. He had known that calling him over was just to keep the two people at Huangying Residence from disturbing him.

The smile on his face vanished as he thought of Nuannuan at that moment.

Wait a little longer, we're still one person short.

While everyone was thinking of Shi Nuanyu, she was quite carefree and idle, passing the time by poking ants on the ground with a wooden stick. Yesterday, she had been kidnapped by two people who had fought a few times but then the matter was dropped. Someone wouldn't let her return to Furong Pavilion and looked at her with a huffy gaze, as if she were an irresponsible and heartless person.

This behavior left Shi Nuanyu completely baffled.

"Could it be that he has gone insane?"

Hearing this, Weiwei, who had just returned with food, was so angry that his nose twisted in anger. He had been trying to communicate with her all day, but all he got in return was the word "madness".

She did it on purpose, definitely and certainly.

Are you hungry? Have something to eat.

Unable to contain his anger, he spat out two words and went into the living room to put down his meal.

Shi Nuanyu followed him in, bewildered, and sat down at the table. Just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks to eat, she noticed that Wei Zengshi across from her was blinking at her incessantly.

What does this mean?
“If you have an eye problem, go get it treated,” he said, picking up a piece of chicken and putting it in his bowl. “Fusheng has done research in this area; you can go and take a look.”

No wonder he always winks at her angrily; does he really have an eye disease?

His subtle flirtation was misinterpreted as an eye ailment. He hadn't even tested the waters before he was truly angry enough to say anything harsh. Forgetting all etiquette, he picked up his rice bowl and started eating.

Don't get angry, don't get angry.

Seeing that he remained silent, Shi Nuanyu assumed she had guessed correctly and put some food into his bowl.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

As she spoke, she brushed the grains of rice off his face.

He was stunned when he saw it for the first time, and his anger dissipated.

Nuannuan cares about him; Nuannuan loves him.

Stared at by a blank, strange gaze, Shi Nuanyu wondered to herself, 'Could it be that she's really been traumatized?'

"are you sick?"

Before he could even swallow the food in his mouth, he put down his chopsticks and hurriedly grabbed her hand.

"Nuan Nuan, you finally realize that I've been flirting with you."

Winking?
Those three words left Shi Nuanyu speechless, and she managed to ask with difficulty, "Were you flirting with me all day by winking at me so often?"

Without ever trying, he confidently nodded, stood up, put his feet on the stool, and held his head high.

"My feelings for you are as clear as day."

The touching atmosphere vanished at this moment. Shi Nuanyu pursed her lips to suppress her laughter, but couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Ah Shi, you... you think staring at someone is flirting or sending flirty glances."

Shi Nuanyu laughed until her stomach hurt, then sat back down on the stool, clutching her belly.

He expressed his feelings deeply but was ridiculed. He had never experienced such a blow before and was so shocked that he put his feet down and asked incredulously.

"Say it again, I didn't hear you."

Shi Nuanyu tried hard to stop laughing, "Staring at someone is like flirting."

She had long ago discovered that the unexplored treasure was a treasure trove, but she never expected it to be so hilarious.

Staring, giving flirtatious glances, casting flirtatious looks—these words kept looping in my mind, and I had to try hard to understand their meaning.

"I'm glaring at someone."

This is the first time in my twenty years of life that I've known what frustration is.

He walked out the door, dejected, and looked up at the sky. He felt ashamed to face anyone in this life.

Did she say something wrong?
Seeing him like this for the first time, Shi Nuanyu felt embarrassed to eat anymore and walked to his side to look up at the sky together.

The sunlight was blinding, and the cicadas chirped incessantly.

"What are you looking at?"

He never even glanced at her, his sigh of utter despair echoing in his mind.

"I'm watching a long life unfold."

He was too ashamed to face his mother in the afterlife.
