Although Ye Lv Qi, out of consideration that Ye Lv Mingshuo was Xingyue's husband, didn't expel him from the royal palace, he did issue an order to revoke his position as the heir. From then on, all the interests of the Ye Lv Royal Family had nothing to do with him.

This meant that Ye Lv Mingshuo could never become the king of Country Z in his lifetime.

His current status was at best that of a son-in-law who had married into the Ye Lv Royal Family.

Just thinking about this made Ye Lv Mingshuo extremely unwilling.

Over the years, he had endured humiliation and made every effort to please Ye Lv Qi, with the goal of taking over the entire Country Z. But in the end, all his efforts had been reduced to nothing because of the interference of Leonard and Freya.

Now he was just a discarded pawn of the Ye Lv Royal Family, and with his disabled body, in the future, everyone could step on him.

Unable to vent his overwhelming anger, Ye Lv Mingshuo furiously swept all the items on the bedside table to the ground.

The cracking and crashing sounds rang out one after another and lingered for a long time.

The maid standing at the door clearly heard the noise and quickly knocked on the door. "Prince, are you okay?"

"Get out!"

Ye Lv Mingshuo didn't want to see anyone at the moment and roared angrily towards the door.

The maid said again, "I'm here to bring you your medicine, Prince. Your body needs to rest well, and it's not advisable to get too angry. This won't solve the problem and will only harm your body. Why bother?"

Hearing this, Ye Lv Mingshuo, who was sitting on the bed, frowned deeply.

A lowly maid dared to speak to him like this.

He should have lost his temper, but he suddenly became curious about what kind of girl she was to dare to lecture him.

After a moment of silence, he said coldly, "Come in."

"Yes."

The maid quickly pushed the door open and approached with the medicine.

As she came into his view, Ye Lv Mingshuo looked at her intently. It was clearly a strange face, but when he met her eyes, he felt a sense of familiarity.

"Who are you? Why have I never seen you in the palace before?" Ye Lv Mingshuo said and motioned for the maid to come closer.

The maid lowered her eyelashes, but the corner of her mouth curved into a smug smile. Then she replied, "Reporting to the Prince, my name is Cheng Huimin. I just entered the palace two days ago."

Ye Lv Mingshuo continued to look at her, and finally, his gaze landed on her neck. A mole the size of a grain of rice was very noticeable.

However, the position of this mole was extremely similar to that of someone.

In an instant, Ye Lv Mingshuo's expression changed.

"Mo..."

He was just about to call out when the maid made a gesture for him to be quiet and whispered, "Be careful of eavesdropping, Prince. You'd better take the medicine so that your wound can heal faster."

Ye Lv Mingshuo was not stupid and quickly understood. He pretended to reprimand the maid sternly, "Put the medicine down and get out."

Seeing that he understood, the maid quickly placed the medicine on the bedside table and then turned around and left.

After the door closed, Ye Lv Mingshuo looked around to make sure that no one was watching him. Then he picked up the medicine bottle and examined it.

He poured all the medicine into his palm but didn't find anything unusual.

Thinking that he had guessed wrong, just as he was about to give up, he found a piece of paper in the last bottle.

"Not yet the time."

These simple four words confirmed his suspicion.

He knew that he wasn't fighting alone.

Now that someone was secretly helping him, he still had a chance to become the king of Country Z in the future.

Thinking of this, Ye Lv Mingshuo's mood improved, and he even whistled a few times.

Even the heavens were on his side. If he didn't seize this opportunity, he would really be letting down such a good chance.

With a ferocious smile on his face due to his ecstasy, Ye Lv Mingshuo's knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists.

Leonard, Freya, just you wait. One day, I will repay you a thousandfold for what you have done to me.

...

Here, after Freya returned to her room, she kept thinking about the maid's back.

The image in her mind overlapped with an unfamiliar figure, but she still couldn't remember the person's face.

After Bradley finished taking a shower and came out, he saw Freya sitting on the sofa in a daze. He shook his head helplessly, then walked over while drying his hair and sat down beside her.

The sofa suddenly sank a lot, and Freya finally came to her senses and turned to look at the man.

"Done with your shower?"

"Yeah, you've been in a daze."

Since they had come back, Freya had been absent-minded, and Bradley could tell at a glance that she had something on her mind.

Freya let out a soft sigh. "I guess my paranoia is acting up. I feel that everyone in this royal palace might pose a threat to us."

No wonder she was so suspicious. The current situation was extremely tense, and the person behind the scenes was lurking in the dark, coming and going without a trace. They had no idea who this person was.

If the other party was also proficient in the art of disguise, it would indeed be quite difficult to expose their true identity.

"That person is indeed lurking in the royal palace, and it's possible that they are someone close to us. So, Freya, it's right to be extra cautious," Bradley said as he dried his hair halfway, threw the towel aside, and put his arm around Freya's shoulder. "Don't think too much. Go take a shower and have a good sleep. I have a feeling that that person will make a move soon."

Bradley's intuitions were usually very accurate.

Moreover, he had arranged so many people to lurk around the royal palace, and Freya had also deployed the forces of Raven Pavillion. The palace guards had also started to take action. He believed that the mastermind behind the scenes must have noticed something.

Therefore, before the situation got out of control, they would make a move in advance.

Freya thought the same way. Before she was with Bradley, she always kept her mind clear and viewed everything rationally.

Therefore, her alertness and intuitive ability were definitely not inferior to anyone else's.

And before a crisis arrived, there was always an eerie silence.

This forced them to be extremely vigilant.

As it turned out, their intuitions were correct.

After the calm of the day, a strong wind suddenly blew at night.

Bradley and Freya were lying in bed. On the surface, they seemed to have closed their eyes and fallen asleep, but in fact, their minds were more alert than ever.

An eerie atmosphere hung over the entire Ye Lv Royal Palace.

In the Xiangyuan Garden in the north.

A white figure flashed by, and the open door creaked. The wind chimes that had been broken before had somehow been reinstalled and were swaying in the wind, making a series of clear sounds.

"Master."

At this moment, a respectful male voice came.

Then a black shadow flashed, and a figure hunched over appeared behind the woman.

"Leonard has already returned. When do you plan to make a move?"

The woman's voice, processed through a voice changer, was extremely hoarse and sounded particularly menacing in the howling wind of the night.
