Princess Yongqing remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.

"I'll figure out a way to handle this, but you must tell me what you were doing afterwards."

Wanlan was overjoyed, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

=== ...

La la la~ The legendary Wang Ji'en, who betrayed Empress Song, is about to appear~ But why did he betray Empress Song?

Please continue reading~

Hmm~ Today we're going to reveal the true identity of someone!!

Finger peck~ Um~ I pulled out historical figures and changed them beyond recognition~ ＝＝

First of all, Zhao Guangyi is an ambitious guy, but I turned him into a hopeless romantic who was actually in love but not really (sweating profusely~).

You know, there are many unofficial historical accounts that show this guy was clearly a pervert~== The most famous thing is his sexual relationship with Li Yu's Xiao Zhao~@o@~

Amitabha Buddha~ I don't like perverts~ I like devoted lovers＝＝｜｜｜

Furthermore, Zhao Dezhao was originally a taciturn, bachelor who was indifferent to fame and fortune. Okay, in this story, he's also indifferent. He only became like a predator for the sake of the female lead.

As for our Zehua, there's too little historical information available, so I'll just let him dictate his character however I want.

The secret is out!

It's Monday today~ Wishing all those going to work a happy day~ (Don't let the overwhelming workload overwhelm you ==)

As for the children who are going to school, they should just be good and pay attention in class.

After the weekend, it's time to perk up!

Keep it up!

Chapter 60, Heartbroken and Sorrowful, Nowhere to Be Found (2)

Princess Yongqing could easily see a eunuch; as a princess, she could summon him with a single word and ask him a hundred questions. However, bringing him into Qinlan Palace to see Wanlan was somewhat dangerous. The Emperor had decreed that no one was allowed to enter or leave Qinlan Palace without permission, and Yongqing had only been able to enter last time after pleading with the Emperor.

This time, however, it would be quite difficult for her to see Wanlan again, not to mention that she would have to bring Wang Ji'en with her.

After three days of fruitless searching, Yongqing came up with a plan to "secretly cross the border." She and her maidservant disguised themselves as maids from the imperial kitchen and used the opportunity of delivering food to Princess Deqing to sneak into Qinlan Palace and act as messengers for Wanlan and Wang Ji'en, who could not meet.

Yongqing was unaware of the contents of the letters between Wanlan and Eunuch Wang. It wasn't that she didn't want to know, but that girl Wanlan had actually asked her to keep the letters intact right in front of her. As a princess, Yongqing would never stoop to such a despicable act as peeping at other people's letters, no matter how curious she was. However, as the number of letters exchanged increased, Wanlan's expression became more and more relaxed, while Eunuch Wang's face grew increasingly grim.

On the fifth day, Princess Yongqing could no longer contain herself and summoned Eunuch Wang to her palace to inquire about the matter. Eunuch Wang's answer, however, greatly shocked her—

"The princess told me a few stories about my past before I entered the palace, and she also foresaw the events of these past few days. The princess told me that she could know the past and the future, and asked me to do her a favor in a few days, otherwise my life would be in danger."

What does she need your help with?

Wang Ji'en, a young eunuch, looked cautiously at Princess Yongqing and replied softly, "The Princess Consort didn't say, only that I would know when the time came."

Yongqing was furious. What on earth was Lan'er up to?! She herself had no past, so how could she know the past and the future? It was utterly absurd!

“Princess, the Princess Consort mentioned in her letter that you should go to Fu Ning Palace using the same method and deliver this letter to Her Majesty the Empress.” Wang Ji’en took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over.

Princess Yongqing, her face ashen with rage, snatched the letter from his hand. "Does she really think I'm her messenger? This is outrageous! Did she even say what she was going to do?"

Wang Ji'en lowered his head and remained motionless, quietly replying, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort did not say."

"Get out!"

"This servant takes his leave."

With his back hunched, Wang Ji'en slowly raised his head as he left Princess Yongqing's bedchamber, a mysterious smile curving his lips before turning and departing.

In fact, Princess Qin mentioned far more in her letter than Princess Yongqing had imagined. He had originally intended to deceive her, but after reading the second letter from the princess, he completely abandoned that idea and decided to cooperate with her.

She actually knew that Zhao Pu, the former prime minister who was dismissed from his post as military governor of Heyang three years ago, had secretly returned to the capital and was hiding in the Prince of Jin's residence. This princess is truly extraordinary! If the Prince of Qin gets her help, the Prince of Jin's chances will be greatly diminished. Fortunately, the Princess Consort of Qin has no ambitions in this area. With her help, the Prince of Jin's ascension to the position of crown prince is just around the corner.

As they approached Qinlan Palace, it was already completely dark. The crescent moon in the dark sky emitted a faint, hazy light. Wang Ji'en quickly approached the palace wall of Qinlan Palace. Taking advantage of the guards' inattention, he leaped up and scaled the wall into Qinlan Palace. Under the cover of darkness, he headed straight for Wanlan's bedroom and quickly slipped inside.

The palace maids inside had already been dismissed. Wang Ji'en went directly into the inner hall, and by the light of the hall, he stared intently at the woman sitting on the soft couch who was looking him up and down. He knelt on one knee and said loudly, "This servant greets Your Highness."

"No need for such formalities, Eunuch Wang, please rise."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wanlan stepped down from the bed with a forced smile, carefully examining him. "I didn't expect Eunuch Wang to have such skills. I won't beat around the bush. Eunuch Wang and Lord Zhao are old acquaintances. I'd like to ask, did Lord Zhao return to the capital this time to incite the Imperial Uncle to fight for the position of Crown Prince?"

Wang Ji'en smiled slightly, "Your Highness is exceptionally intelligent, and this servant had no intention of hiding anything. Just as Your Highness said, this is exactly what Lord Zhao meant."

Wanlan frowned. "So what is his plan?"

"Your Highness, Prince Jin has served as the Prefect of Kaifeng for many years, and there are quite a few people in the court who support him. If Prince Jin were to ascend to the position of Crown Prince, it would surely be a matter of popular support and a natural outcome."

Wanlan let out a long breath. Sure enough! Even without her presence, the Prince of Jin's ascension to the throne would have been completely unchanged.

Forget it! Anyway, all she wanted to do was change Zehua's fate.

"I need to make sure Zehua won't be harmed, then Wanlan will definitely spare no effort in this matter."

"Your Highness, please rest assured. Prince Jin has always been very protective of His Highness Prince Qin, and he will certainly not harm him."

Wanlan pursed her lips, her gaze sharpened, and she said in a deep voice:

"Then, we'll wait for the east wind to arrive."
