Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

But at this moment, there was also a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

"Qinghe".

Ning Fengzhi looked at Xue Qinghe, who was still deep in thought, and asked, "What are your thoughts on your father's recently favored Lady Eva?"

He did not use the frivolous title of "favored concubine," but instead addressed Eva as the more formal "Madam," which shows how much he valued her.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, had a series of thoughts flashing through her mind.

She has been playing Xue Qinghe for a year and has already thoroughly grasped the prince's personality, habits, and way of thinking.

She knew that Ning Fengzhi's question was no casual remark.

Chapter 22 The Beauty Trap

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, and after careful consideration, she slowly spoke: "Teacher, this Lady Eva is indeed extraordinary."

She paused, as if searching for the most appropriate adjective, "She possesses an irresistible charm. She is like a datura blooming in the night, known to be poisonous, yet people cannot help but turn their gaze to her. And Father seems to be completely captivated by her."

Qian Renxue had once seen Eva from afar in the palace, and that one meeting left a deep impression on her.

She was a woman with a fatal attraction.

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the Crown Prince's answer.

This answer confirmed his observation.

"In just a few months, she rose from an unknown outsider to become the most powerful woman in the harem. She is both shrewd and cunning; she is no ordinary person. Your father is currently in his prime, while she is in the prime of her life..."

Ning Fengzhi didn't continue speaking, but his meaning was already quite clear.

A young, shrewd, and favored concubine who has won the emperor's heart has a very high chance of giving birth to a prince in the future.

A brief silence fell over the study.

Ning Fengzhi's fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the smooth rosewood table surface, a habitual action he took when thinking.

"Qinghe".

Ning Fengzhi spoke again, his gaze sharp as he looked at the Crown Prince, "Do you think it's possible to win her over to our side?"

"Win them over?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, and she then fell into thought.

In Qian Renxue's view, Eva, as Xueye's favorite concubine, is young and beautiful. Not to mention her soul power level and talent, she now has power and wealth in her hands, so how could she possibly be won over by her?

She felt that Ning Fengzhi was being a bit unrealistic by asking her to win over a favored concubine who might give birth to a new crown prince.

In Ning Fengzhi's view, his suggestion was not nonsense, but rather a possibility.

As he looked at Xue Qinghe's gentle and refined appearance, a thought suddenly came to mind.

However, Ning Fengzhi was somewhat worried that Xue Qinghe might find his idea difficult and wouldn't agree.

"Qinghe can't think of any way to win over this lady. Does the teacher have any suggestions?"

Qian Renxue pretended to be troubled and looked at Ning Fengzhi. She wanted to see what good methods the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had to win over a favored concubine in the harem.

"Does Qinghe know about Lady Eva's usual conduct?"

Ning Fengzhi gently put down his teacup and smiled.

Qian Renxue was speechless at Ning Fengzhi's question again.

He's impersonating Xue Qinghe right now!

It's the Crown Prince!

Why would a crown prince be interested in his father's concubine?

Despite being speechless at Ning Fengzhi's question, Qian Renxue still wore a puzzled expression.

"Please answer Qinghe's questions, teacher."

Qian Renxue leaned forward slightly, showing her thirst for knowledge and her trust in Ning Fengzhi's wisdom.

Seeing Xue Qinghe's curiosity and trust in him, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel a little smug.

He picked up his teacup, gently blew away the foam, his movements unhurried, and then said, "According to our people's observations, this Lady Eva is quite fond of beautiful women."

"So beautiful?"

Qian Renxue was somewhat taken aback when she heard this.

"good."

Ning Fengzhi put down his teacup and looked intently at Xue Qinghe in front of him.

"This woman appears to be low-key, but her true character is revealed in the details. The maids around her, whether close attendants or menial servants, are all carefully selected beauties, each with outstanding looks and a unique temperament. This is by no means a coincidence."

Ning Fengzhi paused for a moment and continued, "According to reports from people in the palace, some people have seen her frequently summoning extremely handsome young guards or musicians to perform for her."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been operating within the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace for many years, with its spies and informants spread throughout every corner.

As the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi often worried about the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now has high-end combat power Chen Xin and Gu Rong, both of them are not young. If they die, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will inevitably become the target of everyone's criticism.

Therefore, from the moment he decided to bind the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to the Heaven Dou Empire, he made the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace's spies active again.

Therefore, from the very first day that the mysterious and stunning Lady Eva entered the palace, her every move was under close surveillance.

Her every move was captured and recorded by Ning Fengzhi's intelligence network and sent to his study.

Through his analysis of Eva, Ning Fengzhi concluded that this beautiful woman, Eva, had a strong possessive and appreciative desire for all beautiful appearances.

Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised and astonished by Ning Fengzhi's words. Ning Fengzhi had previously told her that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had an intelligence network in the palace and that he would hand over this intelligence network to Xue Qinghe in the future.

But Qian Renxue never expected that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's intelligence network would be so powerful.

However, she also had doubts about the veracity of this information.

Ning Fengzhi clearly saw the doubt on Xue Qinghe's face, but he was obviously certain that the news was true.

Suppressing her doubts, Qian Renxue asked in a low voice, "Does Teacher mean we should start from this angle?"

"Exactly."

A glint of light flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. "Since she has a preference, that is her weakness, and also the fulcrum we can leverage."

"This……"

Qian Renxue looked at Ning Fengzhi, somewhat hesitant and troubled.

"Teacher, isn't this improper? If Father finds out, or if Lady Eva turns against us, I'm afraid..."

Qian Renxue was somewhat worried that if such underhanded tactics were exposed, it would severely damage her reputation.

Moreover, the target was the emperor's favorite concubine, which was far too risky!

Ning Fengzhi had anticipated Xue Qinghe's concerns. He looked at Qian Renxue and said, "Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. If we can use this to stabilize Eva and eliminate her potential threat to the Crown Prince's position, some extraordinary measures are worth trying."

Qian Renxue wanted to refuse Ning Fengzhi's suggestion, but after a moment of silence, she slowly nodded.

"Teacher, your thinking is profound, and I have learned much from you, but what about this choice of person?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on Qian Renxue.

Looking into Ning Fengzhi's eyes, Qian Renxue had a strange, bad feeling.

Ning Fengzhi put down his teacup, leaned forward slightly, and his tone became extremely serious.

"Qinghe, as the Crown Prince, you bear the future of the empire on your shoulders. Any factor that may shake the foundation of the nation must be nipped in the bud at all costs, or turned into our own. Lady Eva is now favored by the Emperor and her power is firmly established; conventional means will hardly be able to shake her."

Qian Renxue nodded, agreeing with Ning Fengzhi's point of view.

"In terms of appearance and temperament, Qinghe, you are gentle and refined, handsome and extraordinary. Although you are not as stunningly beautiful as Lady Eva, you are still a dragon among men, with your own unique charm. Looking at the entire Tiandou City, there are probably very few young men who are more outstanding and of higher status than you, Qinghe."

Chapter 23 Qian Renxue was a little at a loss.

Qian Renxue instantly understood Ning Fengzhi's thoughts and the person he favored.

She felt it was somewhat absurd.

Ask her to seduce the favored concubine on a snowy night? Ask her to use her good looks to seduce him?

Qian Renxue really wanted to agree.

I don't agree at all; she doesn't want to go.

She was so young when she infiltrated the Heavenly Dou Empire, and it was already bad enough that she had to disguise herself as a man. Now they actually want her to seduce women!

"What does the teacher mean?"

Qian Renxue tentatively opened her mouth.

She thought that perhaps she had misunderstood Ning Fengzhi's meaning.

However, Ning Fengzhi's next words completely shattered Qian Renxue's hopes.

"Qinghe, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. For the sake of the empire and the stability of your position as crown prince, what do a few personal sacrifices matter? Besides..."

Ning Fengzhi smiled, revealing an expression that said he understood.

"That Lady Eva is a beauty of unparalleled grace and charm, a rare gem in the world. If you could win her favor and engage in some superficial pleasantries with her, it wouldn't necessarily be a loss for you. Dying under a peony is a romantic death, it's just a matter of mutual benefit."

"puff!"

Qian Renxue had just picked up her teacup and taken a sip when she heard Ning Fengzhi's words and immediately spat it out.

He sprayed Ning Fengzhi's face with the spray, without missing a beat.

"teacher!"

Qian Renxue quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the tea off Ning Fengzhi's face.

"It's alright."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand at Qian Renxue and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tea off his face.

"Qinghe has lost his composure."

Qian Renxue's voice trembled slightly, and a blush rose on her face.

She took a deep breath. "Teacher, how...how could you let Qinghe do such a thing! What about Father Emperor? What about the dignity of the royal family? If this gets out, how can Qinghe stand in the court?"
