Although her two elder sisters had always doted on her, only Leng Yan knew that in fact, they had never regarded her as a real sister. As for doting on and protecting her, it was just to get the aphrodisiac perfume that she had accidentally obtained.

This aphrodisiac perfume could make people feel passionate in an instant and win over someone who was otherwise unattainable.

However, due to the extremely high risk, Leng Yan had never tried it since she got it.

Leng Yan also knew that her two elder sisters still had the patience to coax her because she was still useful. But once she was no longer of any use, they would surely find ways to destroy her.

Therefore, Leng Yan had to rely on Yuan Xiao. As long as he was willing to protect her, she could establish a firm footing in the palace and even be more favored than her sisters.

Then, with wealth, glory, and power, she would no longer have to fear her two sisters.

As soon as Leng Yan left, Yuan Xiao, in a state of excitement, rushed forward and tightly grasped Freya's hand.

"Do you know who I am?"

Freya stared at Yuan Xiao for a long time and finally nodded. "Yes, I know. You are Yuan Xiao!"

Seeing that she recognized him, Yuan Xiao directly hugged her. "Freya, from now on, you are mine. You can only be mine!"

Freya squinted her eyes unexpectedly. Upon hearing Yuan Xiao's words, she sneered in her heart.

Only his? Who gave him the confidence that she belonged to him?

Impossible! She hadn't been hypnotized, and the place in her heart belonged only to Bradley.

As for anyone else, they couldn't even think of taking his place!

However, at this moment, Freya had to continue pretending because she knew that only in this way could she best protect herself.

Sometimes, being too smart wasn't necessarily a good thing. But a fool could always play tricks on normal people.

In the past, she could play dumb to deceive others, and now, she could still pretend to have forgotten things to make Yuan Xiao lower his guard against her.

Then, when Bradley arrived, she would surely be able to cooperate from within and make Yuan Xiao and the entire Yuan Kingdom pay the price!

Perhaps Yuan Xiao was too excited and kept holding Freya tightly. Finally, she pretended to be uncomfortable and coughed a few times, and then Yuan Xiao let her go.

"I'm tired and want to take a rest!"

After coughing, Freya yawned several times in a row.

Yuan Xiao thought that she had just woken up and would surely be a bit disoriented. So, he didn't pester her any more. He told her to have a good rest and then left.

As soon as he left, there was a knock on the door.

Freya frowned slightly, thinking that Yuan Xiao had come back. Then she lay down and pretended to be asleep.

At this time, voices came.

Freya listened attentively, and a child's stern voice sounded, "Get out of my way. I want to see my eldest cousin-in-law."

Eldest cousin-in-law? Freya was a bit puzzled.

Suddenly, the door creaked open.

Freya was just about to cover herself with the quilt when out of the corner of her eye, she saw a child rush in.

Who was this? Freya stared at him for a long time.

The Little Rascal also stared at her without blinking.

And it was this look that made Freya feel vaguely familiar.

The Little Rascal winked at Freya, then turned his head and glanced outside. Several guards were still standing at their posts.

It seemed that it was impossible to talk to Freya openly, so he could only use other ways to hint at her.

After thinking for a while, the Little Rascal called out, "Eldest cousin-in-law." Then he circled around Freya several times.

Freya felt even more that something was wrong.

Although the little guy in front of her had a strange face, for some reason, his cunning eyes were incredibly familiar.

It was as if she had seen him somewhere before.

"I heard that you are my eldest cousin Yuan Xiao's wife. Since you are my eldest cousin-in-law, let's play together!"

After saying that, the Little Rascal threw out a piece of ammunition, which exploded in front of Freya.

With a small body but great power, he could even play with explosives.

Could he be... Freya's eyes lit up when she thought of something.

Seeing that Freya understood, the Little Rascal smiled again and said, "Eldest cousin-in-law, there will be a great show tonight. You must go out and take a look. It will definitely be wonderful."

The so-called great show should be Bradley's rescue plan.

However, what surprised Freya was that the Little Rascal had managed to sneak in.

And he was pretending to be Yuan Xiao's little cousin.

This was really interesting.

Although Freya didn't know the identity of this cousin, just now, the Little Rascal was able to get in with just a shout. It seemed that this cousin had an unusual relationship with Yuan Xiao.

"Little guy, whose child are you?"

After thinking carefully, Freya still felt it necessary to find out.

The Little Rascal said truthfully, "My mom is Cousin Yuan Xiao's aunt and also the queen's younger sister!"

Upon hearing this, Freya understood.

Although they didn't explicitly state their relationship, Freya still gave the Little Rascal a thumbs-up in her heart.

The palace of the Yuan Kingdom was full of dangers. Last time, Ying had sneaked in and almost been exposed, and Bradley had also been injured and barely managed to escape.

Now, the Little Rascal had disguised himself as a member of the royal family. With this identity, he could basically act freely in the palace.

In this way, the plan tonight would go more smoothly.

Freya pretended not to know anything and just said, "Since you are Yuan Xiao's cousin, do as you like. I'm a bit sleepy and want to rest!"

The Little Rascal said, "Then cousin-in-law, have a good rest. I'll take a look around your room."

After saying that, the Little Rascal started to wander around.

He said he was wandering around, but actually, he was leaving clues inadvertently.

When he thought the plan was almost done, the Little Rascal left the small courtyard.

Before leaving, he ordered the guards, "My cousin-in-law is tired. Don't go in and disturb her."

The guards knew Yuan Gan's identity and naturally didn't dare to disobey his order. They all responded affirmatively.

Soon, the door was closed. Freya immediately got out of bed.

She first checked whether there were any cameras installed around and then checked whether there were any bugging devices under the dishes. Only then did she feel at ease and went to get the thing left by the Little Rascal.

It was a piece of paper with a brief description of the plan for tonight. After reading it, Freya flushed the paper down the toilet.

She never expected that after enduring so much humiliation for so long, she was finally going to leave this place.

Freya was a bit excited and sat on the bed with a smile on her face.

Perhaps because she had been "hypnotized," Yuan Xiao hadn't come to find her all morning.

Freya was happy to have some leisure time and ate a lot for lunch.

In the afternoon, Yuan Xiao and the perfumer Leng Yan appeared in her room again.

Their purpose was simple: to confirm Freya's condition again.

Freya just played dumb and accompanied them in their act. Whenever Leng Yan said something to her, she would mention Yuan Xiao, which made Yuan Xiao extremely happy and truly believe that she had been hypnotized.

Leng Yan didn't notice anything unusual either and patted her chest to confirm that the hypnosis was successful.

"Very good! Very good!"

Yuan Xiao couldn't stop smiling. He stepped forward and grabbed Freya's hand, saying in a hoarse voice, "I'll arrange for you to move into my courtyard later. Then we can see each other every day."
