Chapter 187: A Familiar Scene

Domination*. Yun, the prime minister, vehemently defended An-er's innocence...Yun Qian Shan repeatedly clarified that Yun An An had no connection whatsoever to "The Art of Domination," and informed B...[ ]

Yun An'an hadn't considered the issue of having children, let alone having a bunch.

"Do you think I'm a pig"

She gave Bei Chen Yi a withering look. He had interrupted her, and now she couldn't remember what she was going to say.

Back at the Yiwangfu, Yun An'an's first thing was to drag Beichen Yi to sleep.

It's just sleeping, simple sleep, not doing anything else.

However, being led by Yun An'an, Bei Chen Yi's face wore an indescribable ambiguous smile. Anyone who saw it would think that the two were sleeping in broad daylight and that it was definitely abnormal.

The guards looked at each other, their expressions clearly conveying their understanding.

Still the king, still powerful!

At this rate, the Yi Wangfu will be filled with many young princes and princesses.

What are you thinking about.

Bai Shiqi slapped the guard on the head, "You're always daydreaming and never learn anything!"

In the study, Yun An'an pointed at the large bed in the inner room and, with a commanding tone, told Beichen Yi to go to sleep, not allowing him to get up until night.

"An'er, stay and sleep with me."

Pulling Yun An'an's hand, Beichen Yixue lay sideways on the bed, his handsome features were fully displayed. His deep eyes never left Yun An'an, making her feel flustered and uneasy.

"

Sleep soundly, got it!

"

After pulling the blanket over, Yun Anan sat on the edge of the bed without leaving, but she also didn't sleep with him.

"An'er."

"Shut up and go to sleep."

"My husband can't sleep. A'n, could you sing a little song to help my husband fall asleep"

"How come there are so many things going on Are you acting like a three-year-old"

Although she complained incessantly, Yun An'an, who was straight-talking, hummed a little tune.

This is a folk song. It was sung by children in the eastern regions when I was on duty there.

She thought it sounded nice, so she stopped to listen to the children finish singing. That's how she learned the folk song.

Not long after, the sound of even breathing came, and Bei Chen Yi fell asleep. Yun An'an sighed with relief.

"Those who know you are the Regent, those who don't think you are the monarch of Beichen."

"Have a good sleep."

Rising, she left the inner room and gently closed the door. Yun An'an arrived at the outer study.

As it happens, the guard reported that Wang Zhǎngguì, the owner of Tiānxiānglóu, and Dīng Ruoshān, the big boss of the black market, have come to look for her.

"Go tell him at the hospital, Uncle is asleep."

Not long after, Ding Ruoshan and Wang Zhanggui came before Yun'an.

Yun'an sat on a stone bench, raising her head to lightly glance at the two people before her.

"Mr. Ding, how is your young master doing"

"As for the Queen Mother's words, my son has improved greatly. Yesterday, I found that my son's legs had regained feeling."

Ding Ruo Shan excitedly described what happened last night.

When he got up in the middle of the night, he heard his son's room humming and whimpering, and he was worried something had happened.

On going inside, I found my son smiling and bearing the pain. Apparently, his leg had regained sensation.

"Thanks to Princess Yì for saving me. Without Princess Yì, my son would have been unable to stand up for the rest of his life."

"Lao Ding, you're too polite. We are now partners."

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and Yun Anan steered the conversation back to the main point.

"Can I send out the invitations now"

The black market is more inclined towards the underworld, and it has a good number of connections with figures in the criminal world. This is also why Yun An'an asked Ding Ruoshan to distribute the invitations to various organizations.

"It has already been sent out. Three hundred and twenty-one assassination organizations, big and small, have all received the invitation and given a clear response."

"Well, Mr. Wang, what brings you to me"

Looking at Yun An'an's face, a smile that was hard to describe but clearly held resentment, Wang Zhanggui really wanted to strangle her if his strength allowed.

To know one's purpose beforehand and yet ask as if unaware, is that interesting

But…

> Though Wang, the shopkeeper, thought otherwise, he uttered a different set of words.

"Well, the Tiangxiang Building is still under renovation. How about this...the Yekinglai across the street would be a good option I'll cover all the expenses."

Tianxiang Lou can no longer withstand the turmoil. Now, Yun An'an has to entertain members of various killer organizations at Tianxiang Lou.

That scene, needless to say, was terrifying. The entire room was filled with assassins; it was... simply a living nightmare.

Today, Wang Zhuangui's only purpose was to persuade Yun Anan to change the venue for the reception.

"That's not possible, the location has already been set. If we change it at the last minute, how would we explain it to those martial arts people"

Her eyebrows rose in surprise, and Yun An appeared to be struggling with a difficult expression.

"If those ruffians from the underworld feel that Tianxiang Lou looks down on them or their status, then what would become of your Tianxiang Lou, Mr. Wang This princess can't guarantee anything…"

“...”

Yun'an's single remark immediately shut down Wang Zhuangui's every possible escape route.

To sum it up, there's only one ending, and that's at the Tianxiang Building.

"Your Highness... aren't you going to take my life"

The owner of Tianxiang Building, Wang Zhanggui, suddenly sat on the ground. He said, whether it's being a shrew or playing dumb, anyway things have come to this point. Their well-established Tianxiang Building has become the path for elegant scholars and elites.

Since Yun An'an appeared, Tianxianglou has been attacked, destroyed, and assassinated every few days. This year alone, in the first half of the year, he saw more assassins than he had seen in his entire life.

"Your Highness, Tianxiang Lou is a small business. I rely on Tianxiang Lou and Old Yang. If you insist on doing this, how will I survive"

"Don't worry about that, Wang. This princess has already thought of a plan for you."

Slowly setting down the teacup in her hand, Yun Qiqi stood up and took a stack of silver notes from Qing Feng.

The shopkeep will take these silver tickets first.

What do you mean

Bribe him

Money can't buy dignity.

"Wang Zhanggui, don't be hasty. Let this princess explain slowly."

Thus, Yun'anan told Wang Zhuangui her plan to renovate Tianxiang Lou.

Tianxianglou is undoubtedly a prime location with an excellent geographical position. However, its consumption level falls in the mid-to-high range, resulting in limited customer traffic.

After several days of news conferences, not only will the reputation of Tianxianglou spread throughout Beichen Kingdom, but it will also make more people curious about what makes Tianxianglou so special that it attracts so many martial artists.

"At that time, Wang the shopkeeper can use this money to expand Tianxiang Lou. This princess guarantees you that even after you die, you can afford to sleep on as much rosewood as you want."

"No, no, not at all!!"

Wang Zhanguai waved his hand, not because of the suggestion to remodel Tiangxiang Building, but because of Yun An'an's words about sleeping in a gold silk nanmu coffin after death.

To know, surveying the world, only royalty has the qualification to be buried in golden nanmu after death. How dare these ordinary people's old men

Just now, Wang, the shopkeeper who would have sold his dignity for a fistful of cash, is now calculating profits.

"So the Empress is saying... that all the money for renovating Tianxiang Lou will come from you"

"Everything remains the same. Wang, the shop owner, can take as much as he wants from the palace, but there's a condition: this princess demands three times the profit."

With the phrase "An'an" from Yun, Wang immediately stood up and made a decision to complete the deal.

"Alright, with the phrase "the princess" mentioned, my little heart is at ease now."

Yu Ruoshan, standing on the side, watched Wang Zhanggui's smug smile as if he had gotten a good deal. He shook his head and sighed helplessly.

This scene feels so familiar.

Originally, he was threatened and tempted by Yun An'an. Now, he has fallen into the trap she meticulously weaved and can't extricate himself.

Especially when he saw Yun An'an's harmless face, Yu RuoShan became even more certain of his thoughts.

This woman, she probably had her eyes set on Tianxianglou long ago.

……

In the courtyard, Yun An'an chatted with Yu Ruo Shan and Wang Zhanggui about the details of the press conference in a few days.

After reaching a consensus, the three left Yiwangfu separately, each riding in their own carriage.

Qingfeng, who had been standing by silently, didn't speak until the two of them left. Then he asked, voicing his confusion.

"Your Highness, while Tianxiang Lou is not bad, there are many inns in our Beichen capital that are better than Tianxiang Lou. Why have you chosen Wang Zhuangcai, a man with such little influence"

"That's right, it's because Wang, the shopkeeper, is a typical toady."

She likes to work with that kind of person, where both parties only care about their own interests and don't bother with personal relationships. When it's over, it's over cleanly and decisively.

"Qingfeng, would you also help me with something"

"Your Highness,"

Yun'an whispered a few words in Qingfeng's ear. Qingfeng widened his eyes, looking at her with an expression of disbelief.

Go! If anything happens, this princess will back you up.

Yun'an'an signaled Qingfeng to go and take care of it immediately. She assured him that she would be there if anything happened.

"Very well, I shall go at once."

Qingfeng left Yiwangfu with a stiff expression. As for what he was going to do, only the two of them knew.

Night falls, shrouding the heavens and earth.

After sleeping the whole afternoon, Beichen Yi finally woke up.

As soon as he stepped out of the study, he saw languid shadows lying in the courtyard.

Beichen Yi stepped forward, sending his back to hold Yun An'an in his arms, whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

A tingling warmth spread through her ears, and Yun Anan's usually stoic face flushed red as she tried to wriggle out of Beichen Yi's embrace.

"Stop tickling, it's itchy ~~"

"As a husband, I just love seeing An'er's bashful looks. They're so alluring."

"Don't be childish, hahaha~~ Beichen Yi, so many people are watching you."

Surrounded by guards from the Yiwang Mansion, with hidden assassins lurking in the shadows, they were openly affectionate in front of everyone. It was mortifyingly embarrassing.

However, the guards said that they were now blind and deaf, completely not treating them as human beings. You two do as you please.

Just as the two were getting cozy, a hurried set of footsteps sounded.

Old Wang was striding rapidly, three steps in the span of two. If it weren't for his weight limiting him, he'd probably be flying!

Far away, Old Wang Ye saw Beichen Yi holding Yun An An. The two of them were cuddling up to each other constantly there.

"Stop your lovey-dovey act, you two. Come with me at once and explain yourselves on the way."

Saying that, Old Master Wang pulled Bei Chen Yi and Yun An An left the Yi Wangfu on either side, getting into the carriage.

The carriage driver, a guard from the Rui Prince's Mansion, whipped his horses into a gallop as they sped towards the outskirts of town.ard lately.""Ah"Yun'an didn't understand what Qingfeng meant by that.Upon returning to Huiyi Manor, Yun An'an rushed into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.When the aroma of the seven-colored head...
