His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 183: Scheming

Feng Chen nodded. He knew that City Lord Lu could remind him like this completely due to Yu Qing Qian’s sake, so he accepted this kindness.

“Alright, we understand!”

City Lord Lu thought for a while, then added: “The Mechanism Master of our City Lord’s Mansion has studied the ancient tomb and concluded that the ancient tomb that appeared can only be opened three times. Our City Lord Mansion and other forces in Qing Qiu City have wasted it twice, so now there may only be one more chance to open it.”

Then he changed his tone, “So Crown Prince Chen, you might all have to go with Young Lord Chi and his party to enter the ancient tomb together. Otherwise, if there’s only one chance left to open it, one of your teams may miss out on the ancient tomb.”

The reason why he didn’t immediately give Feng Chen and the others a pass at first was also because he took this into consideration.

Now that Yu Qing Qian had saved his son, and the Chi Clan was the backer of Qing Qiu City, he didn’t want to favour one side over the other, so he decided to tell the truth and have them go in to explore together.

Feng Chen nodded: “As long as Young Lord Chi and his party have no objections, it doesn’t matter to us.”

For some reason, the Chi Clan took the ancient tomb so seriously that they had Chi Mo Ran come in person. Then they must not let them take the advantage, and they could accept the chance of going together.

Moreover, he also wanted to observe more about Chi Mo Ran’s thoughts and attitude towards Yu Qing Qian, so that he could make plans in advance.

As soon as Feng Chen finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

“If Crown Prince Chen doesn’t mind, then we naturally are willing to go together.” Chi Mo Ran came with a few people from not far away.

Feng Chen nodded faintly to Chi Mo Ran as a greeting.

City Lord Lu couldn’t help but sigh with relief when he saw that neither party had any objection to the proposal.

“Then I wish you all the best and be sure to have another drink at the City Lord’s Mansion when you return.”

“Sure!”

The two groups left the City Lord’s Mansion and rushed towards the desolate ancient tomb together.

As the leaders of the two teams, Feng Chen had a temperament as cold as jade, as if he had been relegated to an otherworldly fallen immortal, while Chi Mo Ran had a cold and restrained temperament, exuding a feeling of being unapproachable by strangers, and were both extraordinary and handsome.

The two of them didn’t talk much, so there was little communication along the way.

Yun Si Ting, the only woman in Feng Chen’s team, had a good relationship with Yu Qing Qian, and the two rode horses side by side on the road and chatted.

With a change of heart, Leng Ling Shuang rode towards Yu Qing Qian two.

“Young Miss Yu, Young Miss Yun.” She greeted with a polite smile.

Yu Qing Qian two didn’t expect Leng Ling Shuang to come over. They both replied politely: “Young Miss Leng.”

“Young Miss Yu, you detoxified Young Lord Lu earlier, your healing skills are truly excellent!” Leng Ling Shuang said with a humble smile: “Please give me advice in the future, and we can exchange healing experiences.”

She could see that Feng Chen treated Yu Qing Qian completely differently from the others. Although her cousin Chi Mo Ran didn’t show any expression nor look in his eyes, but there also seemed to be a problem with his attitude towards Yu Qing Qian, but it definitely wasn’t resentment.

Since that was the case, if she wanted to get close to and win over Feng Chen, then she might as well start with Yu Qing Qian.

In addition, if Chi Mo Ran really treated Yu Qing Qian differently, then her show of kindness would also make Chi Mo Ran think more highly of her.

Moreover, Yu Qing Qian was a variable that she had never heard of before in her life. The closer she was and the more she understood, she could prepare and scheme better in the future.

After discovering the variable that was Yu Qing Qian, Leng Ling Shuang sent someone to investigate Yu Qing Qian in private.

She didn’t care when she learnt about her identity. She was simply a jun’zhu of a small kingdom and was too insignificant for her current status. However, Yu Qing Qian’s performance in the Royal Academy made her feel deeply fearful.

But she wouldn’t be like that idiot Qin Feng Yi who did everything on the surface and whom now could only return to the Qin Clan to recuperate.

In order to achieve her goal, the more Leng Ling Shuang hated and feared, the more she would show kindness and get close to the other party, becoming friends with them.
