"Then, I'll make my move. Prince Yelü, don't say anything when the time comes."
"I already informed you in advance, and you said you didn't recognize him."
Prince Yelü regretted it at this moment.
But despite his regret, he didn't show it much.
"Lan Xian, look. Now even if you scream your lungs out, I don't think anyone will come to save you."
"See how pathetic you are."
"These years, you've plotted against me, against countless people. But have you ever thought about it? In the end, all the schemes, all the consequences, will be borne by you alone."
Her hairpin landed on Lan Xian's neck, slowly dragging across, opening a cut. Blood flowed down, looking horrifying and terrifying.
It even scared everyone around.
But Feng Ran felt no fear. In fact, she found it somewhat amusing.
Her eyes were filled with a bloody light. Looking at Lan Xian's pitiable appearance, her sobbing and crying, anyone would want to protect her.
Prince Yelü wanted to step forward but was directly blocked by Xuan Yuan Heng, who stood beside him.
Lan Xian had originally thought that Prince Yelü would rush to her aid without hesitation. However, Prince Yelü simply walked away, without even looking back.
Her hands clenched tightly. She was unwilling.
He just left like that. Did all the things she did last night go to waste?
Did Prince Yelü still expect a free ride?
As Lan Xian tried to chase after him, Prince Yelü's steps quickened, and she couldn't catch up.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she watched the disappearing figure.
Why, why were these people treating her like this?
Prince Yelü left just like that, without even looking at her.
Lan Xian knew that what she had given was now merely a joke.
More importantly, she had given her purity to Prince Yelü.
If she went to argue with Prince Yelü, then she was destined to be the loser.
Lan Xian hated Feng Ran to the bone. Why, why was heaven so merciful to her? Why did she do so many things but no one cared for her? Even after giving her purity, she still couldn't get what she wanted.
Heaven was too cruel to her. Why did she have to bear everything alone?
Although Lan Xian hated Feng Ran to the core, the reason she dared to speak to Feng Ran like that earlier was because of Prince Yelü. But now that Prince Yelü had long gone, that person wouldn't return.
And she had become a joke.
It wasn't the time to completely fall out with Feng Ran. If she wanted to succeed, she had to mend her relationship with Feng Ran.
She had to go and try to please Feng Ran. This matter, coming to her water, was too painful.
But what could she do?
This was her only option now.
Lan Xian stole a glance. She thought that as long as she worked hard for a while longer, Xuan Yuan Heng would surely see her good qualities.
"Feng Ran, those things just now, those words I said, I really didn't mean to."
"I don't even know why I said such cold-blooded words."
"Feng Ran, can you please forgive me?"
Lan Xian's gaze fell on Xuan Yuan Heng and she said in a low voice, "I believe the Regent King would not approve of your actions."
"Feng Ran, let's just let this matter go, okay?"
"Besides, this matter was a misunderstanding from beginning to end. Are you going to hold onto this misunderstanding forever?"
"Feng Ran, have you forgotten how I helped you back then? Are you really so heartless?"
"People always make mistakes, but I know I was wrong, and I will change. Isn't that enough?"
"Or do you want to force me to kneel before you, like Lan Xian?"
Lan Xian pleaded bitterly, but while saying these words, her eyes were all on Xuan Yuan Heng, as if she intended to do something, intentionally or unintentionally.
But these actions were clearly seen by the people around them. Those people were utterly disgusted by Lan Xian's actions. In their opinion, this person was truly calculating and scheming.
If Feng Ran hadn't said those words, they wouldn't have thought so. But when Feng Ran spoke those words, and then seeing Lan Xian's current behavior, their disgust towards Lan Xian reached an extreme.
However, everyone believed that Lan Xian was doing this just to attract Xuan Yuan Heng's attention. But looking at it, it always felt like she was using the wrong method.
This would only make Xuan Yuan Heng dislike her more.
Lan Xian didn't think so. She even felt that by doing this, Xuan Yuan Heng would surely fall in love with her.
The position of Xuan Yuan Consort would surely be hers.
Someday, she would drive Feng Ran away. Everything that originally belonged to Feng Ran would belong to her.
In the future, her life and prospects would only get better. And Feng Ran was the obstacle. She had to find a way to make Feng Ran disappear. Then, everything would be well.
Yes, as long as An Nuan disappeared, everything would be fine.
But right now, if she wanted to kill An Nuan, it was absolutely impossible.
Lan Xian stood up and rushed forward. Her gaze fell on Feng Ran, and she said with great excitement, "Feng Ran, if you don't forgive me, I will smash my head right here."
Feng Ran heard this but said nothing. Instead, she looked at the person before her coldly. She seemed to have already expected Lan Xian to do such a thing.
Just as Lan Xian thought she was about to succeed, Feng Ran directly dodged. She slammed herself against the wall.
Blood flowed directly from her face.
Lan Xian reached out, touched her face, and brought her hand to her eyes. Seeing the blood on her hands, Lan Xian screamed and glared at Feng Ran, gnashing her teeth and roaring, "Feng Ran, you... why are you doing this to me?"
"I didn't expect you to be so vicious. You want to kill me, don't you?"
"Feng Ran, you..."
"Even if I said those words, you can't treat me like this. You've almost killed me."
The people around watched Lan Xian with cold eyes.
In fact, they saw it clearly. This was Lan Xian reaping what she sowed. She had tried to scheme against Feng Ran, and Feng Ran saw through it and dodged.
But Lan Xian was blaming Feng Ran for her own schemes, which was unfair to Feng Ran.
Feng Ran showed no fear. Her gaze fell on Lan Xian, and she said coldly, "Lan Xian, you should know very well what this matter is about."
"Of course, if you insist on blaming me for this, I don't think the Regent King would want to see that."
Lan Xian looked up at Feng Ran unwillingly. She even wanted to loudly question Feng Ran.
Feng Ran, on what grounds do you have to say these things to me?
But these words, when they reached her lips, could not be spoken at all.
Lan Xian sensed Xuan Yuan Heng's bloodthirsty gaze on her. Her whole body trembled, and she dared not say another word.
