I am Yuan Niaoniao

Deep in the vast palace, Han Junwu frowned as he listened to the report from the Jinwu Guards, veins bulging on his forehead. Han Haotian, his own stupid and vicious son, had personally ended the lives of his concubine and child, leaving two lives behind. What kind of conspiracy was hidden under the false appearance of grief?

Because Feng Fei'er had an accident outside the city, seeing Han Haotian's grief, he thought of promising him to go and wipe out the bandits to avenge Feng Fei'er. Thinking that things might not be that simple, he asked the Jinwu Guards to investigate. He didn't know that Han Haotian had done such a cruel thing. This news spread like wildfire in his heart, burning Han Junwu's heart. He didn't expect his son to do such a thing, which made him full of doubts and worries about Han Haotian.

"Go and help him clean up his mess." Even though I was very disappointed with him, I still had to clean up this mess for him. Otherwise, if people got to know about it and it became a big deal, it would be troublesome.

"Yes."

However, at this moment, Han Haotian asked for a meeting.

Han Junwu suppressed his anger, tried to calm down, and then silently looked at his disappointing son. "What do you want?"

"Father, I want to go on a diplomatic mission to the State of Wu, leave Dadu for a while, forget everything that happened here, and then come back." Han Haotian still looked grief-stricken.

The prince who didn't stay at home to play the role of a tragic prince who lost his wife and children made a request to him in less than a week - to go on a diplomatic mission to Wu State. Han Junwu frowned slightly, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that Han Haotian was planning something behind this request, but he still agreed: "Go."

Perhaps, this is the best way to let Han Haotian leave Dadu and temporarily calm the storm.

Seeing that Han Junwu agreed to her, she was delighted, but she still maintained a sad look.

Han Junwu did not miss the joy that just flashed across his eyes. It seemed that his target was still Wu Jingxin. When Wu Jingxin came before, she had already seen through his little thoughts. She thought he would give up after marrying a concubine, but it seemed that he never gave up.

However, Han Haotian was still immersed in the joy of going to Wu State and did not notice that Han Junwu's face had turned dark.

Han Haotian started packing his things as soon as he returned to the Prince's Mansion. He couldn't wait to set off, leaving Qingfeng to look after the house. The next day, he left Dadu alone with the envoys. That day, the sky was gloomy, as if foreshadowing the bumpy road ahead. Han Haotian rode on a horse, with a long guard of honor behind him, slowly moving towards the direction of Wu State. His heart was filled with joy and excitement, but he knew that in order to sit in that position, he had to seize this opportunity.

Unexpectedly, only a month and a half later, Han Haotian returned to Dadu with the Princess of Wu. Wu Jingxin stepped into Dadu again, still full of pride and disdain. This time, in addition to agreeing to assist Han Haotian, she also had another goal, which was to deal with Yuan Niaoniao. She had suffered losses repeatedly at her hands before, and this time she would not let her off easily. Their return together caused quite a stir, and people speculated about the purpose of this foreign princess's trip.

Some speculated that she came to propose marriage, while others speculated whether she had an engagement with the prince. In short, the whole city was buzzing with talk for a while.

When Han Junwu saw Han Haotian's return, he felt mixed emotions. He knew that Han Haotian must have convinced the King of Wu.

Han Haotian brought Wu Jingxin to meet Han Junwu, and their return made the atmosphere in the palace extremely tense. However, Han Haotian acted calmly. He reported to Han Junwu his experience and gains in Wu State, and expressed his deep love for Princess Wu Yue.

"I hope that Your Majesty will grant the marriage between me and Princess Jingxin." Han Haotian bent down, bowed with both hands and said piously.

Han Junwu looked at his son in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart. He knew that Han Haotian was no longer the innocent boy, he had grown into an ambitious man who would do anything for the sake of profit. And all this was the price he paid for fighting for the throne.

However, Han Junwu did not express his opinion immediately. He asked Han Haotian and Wu Jingxin to go down and rest first, and talk about this topic another day. After the two left, he fell into deep thought. He knew that he had to make a decision. Marrying Wu State was not a bad thing, but if he agreed to it, he would have to watch his two sons fight for the throne in advance. He was an experienced person, so it was inevitable for this position to survive and eliminate the weak. I could take this opportunity to see who was qualified to be my successor.

Finally, Han Junwu made an unexpected decision - he agreed to let Han Haotian marry Princess Wu Jingxin as his principal wife. The wedding will be held at the same time as the weddings of Prince Yi and Prince Chen. This decision shocked the entire palace and the court, and people speculated about the reasons and motives. However, only Han Junwu himself knew why he did this.

"Your Majesty," Zhen Luoyi rushed to Han Junwu's study room as soon as he heard the news: "Your Majesty, by doing this, aren't you giving Haotian and Yier an opportunity to kill each other?"

"Queen, you have overstepped your boundaries." Han Junwu looked at Zhen Luoyi coldly. She was wondering whether some things should be said or not. As the queen for so many years, didn't she know that?

When she heard Han Junwu calling her the queen instead of her name, Zhen Luoyi knew that she had indeed spoken her mind without any tact. She said angrily, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my nonsense."

"I know what I'm doing. There's no need for you, Queen, to worry about me. If everything is fine, go back first. I still have memorials to review." Han Junwu began to dislike Zhen Luoyi from the bottom of his heart. When did she become so rude and unruly, especially for a queen of a country.

“But.............” Zhen Luoyi wanted to say something.

"No buts, please step back." Han Junwu interrupted her impatiently.

"Yes." Zhen Luoyi had to leave first. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Qi Zhiying coming towards her. Oh, it turned out that this bitch was the one who was so anxious to get rid of me. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she stared at Qi Zhiying viciously.

Seeing Zhen Luoyi from a distance looking like she was about to eat someone, Qi Zhiying immediately felt something was wrong and had no choice but to walk forward and salute: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, the Queen."

"Hey, Concubine Li, are you here to see the Emperor?" Zhen Luoyi looked Qi Zhiying up and down as if she were looking at a clown.

"Your Majesty, I made some candied pears and sent them to Your Majesty to relieve his dryness. Your Majesty works day and night. Yesterday he said his throat was a little dry, so I asked the kitchen to make some. I heard it is very good for the throat." Qi Zhiying said humbly with her head down.

"Then go ahead." Zhen Luoyi couldn't find fault with Qi Zhiying's humble and submissive appearance. In addition, they were still outside the imperial study, so it was difficult to control her, so he had to let her go this time.

Zhen Luoyi shook his sleeves and left angrily. Qi Zhiying dared to raise her head and looked at Zhen Luoyi's back as he walked away. She sighed deeply. In this palace, every step is carefully planned. If you are not careful, you will step into a trap. Qi Zhiying's eyes flashed with a fierceness. Holding the rock sugar snow pear in her hand, she walked carefully towards the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Han Junwu was buried in a pile of memorials, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously in a bad mood. Qi Zhiying walked in quietly, put the rock sugar and snow pear on the table, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I made some rock sugar and snow pear, I heard it is very good for the throat, you can try it."

The emperor looked up and saw Qi Zhiying's gentle smile, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. He put down the memorial in his hand, picked up the bowl and took a sip, his brows relaxed: "Well, it tastes good, you are really careful."

Qi Zhiying's face lit up. She took the opportunity to sit next to the emperor and gently massaged his temples: "Your Majesty, please don't work too hard and take care of your health." However, her eyes kept glancing at the memorials on the table, quickly reading and writing down the useful content.

The emperor sighed and held Qi Zhiying's hand: "Lipin, you are the only one in this palace who cares about me the most."

"No, all the ladies in the palace care about the emperor very much, not just me."

"What makes me most relieved is that you don't fight for anything..." Han Junwu hugged Qi Zhiying lovingly.

.........................

"Han Haotian, he is like a cunning fox, always able to find the most suitable opportunity to capture the prey in one fell swoop. This time, he actually got the princess of Wu country. He can get the position of the principal wife to get the princess of a country. I think this is not easy. Wu Jingxin is willful and capricious. She has repeatedly targeted me for no reason before. This time, I am afraid that she will join hands with Han Haotian to deal with you and me!" Yuan Niaoniao looked at Chen Shaoyi. "However, I think that his move is brilliant. If he waits a little longer, maybe he can really sit in that position! But now, let him taste the victory temporarily. If it were anyone else, they would not be able to think of a way to change the status quo so quickly. It has been less than two months since the concubine passed away, and he has found a new love. He really looks for whoever is useful to him."

Seeing him so complacent now is really ridiculous and pathetic. He only cares about the immediate interests but not the long-term development, and only wants to gain power and status as soon as possible, but he doesn't expect that this approach will make him make irreparable mistakes.

"However, this is exactly the opportunity we need to take advantage of. We must interfere and make him taste failure again." Yuan Niaoniao said as she made a plan in her mind.

"Just arrange it." Chen Shaoyi naturally fully supports everything Yuan Niaoniao does. Wu Jingxin, he has made a note of it. If you cause trouble for Niaoniao, you are causing trouble for him. No matter which country she is a princess from.

"But if you don't attack me first, I will let him go for now." He will definitely deal with him. At present, he has to guard against Han Junwu attacking Grandpa. Because this time he knew in advance that there was something wrong with the tea, he would definitely not drink it. So as long as Grandpa doesn't drink it, he won't die. The ending has begun to change: "The tea cake given to me by the palace was poisoned. I didn't take precautions in my previous life, and Grandpa drank it. Therefore, he inexplicably became weak and gradually became too sick to be saved. As soon as Grandpa left, he settled accounts with the Yuan family. I don't know if there is anyone else involved besides the poisoned tea cake. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to convict the Yuan family."

"Is the tea cake poisonous?" Damn it, he still has the bad habits to poison everyone. It was because I left him idle that he had a chance to deal with the Yuan family.

"Well, Zhiying told me this during the autumn hunt, and I tested it when I came back and it was indeed poisonous. Now I want to play along with them and pretend that my grandfather drank it, and then go back home sick. I want to think about diverting the part about the Yuan family, because sooner or later when I come up against that person, I won't be able to protect the entire Yuan family," Yuan Niao Niao said with a frown.

Chen Shaoyi reached out his hand to smooth his frown upon seeing this, "We can let General Yuan fake his death, and then hide him in the Underworld Pavilion. There is a manor there that is very safe, and we don't have to be on guard all day long. It is suitable for General Yuan and Madam Yuan to live in."

"I really don't know how to thank you." Yuan Niao Niao looked at Chen Shaoyi with some emotion. This is really a good idea. At least I don't have to worry about Han Junwu attacking my grandfather anymore. Moreover, by faking my death, I can continue to protect Zhiying from giving me information, and Han Junwu won't notice it. It's a good move!

"Just pledge yourself to me" Chen Shaoyi couldn't help laughing, "Ah..." Before he could even laugh, Yuan Niao Niao slapped him in the face. He rubbed his head but laughed happily. He was going to get married with Niao Niao soon, and he was happy just thinking about it.

"I know that someone was involved in the previous life. If Tan Xinhui's family is eliminated, Han Haotian can't escape either, but I have a vague feeling that someone else is involved." Yuan Niaoniao fell into deep thought again. "I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go over to discuss this with grandpa. You go back first," she said, and then she pushed open the window skillfully, meaning that Chen Shaoyi could do as he pleased.

Chen Shaoyi looked at Yuan Niao Niao speechlessly, then got up, climbed over the windowsill and walked out.

…………

"Grandpa, this is what happened. What do you think?" Yuan Niaoniao briefly explained the whole story.

"Damn it! My Yuan family has been loyal to the court for generations. Now you are bullying me because I am old and powerless. I can't enjoy my old age in peace. I accept it. Do as you say. When your master comes back, I will ask him for the drug for fake death. But His Royal Highness Prince Chen is actually the young master of Mingge?" This really shocked Yuan Wuhe. He was so young and promising and so outstanding. He had heard about what Mingge was like, but he was still shocked to hear that Chen Shaoyi was actually the young master of Mingge. No wonder the emperor wanted to get rid of him. Such a genius was born for that position!

"That's indeed the case. I believe in His Royal Highness Prince Chen." Yuan Niao Niao looked determined.

Yuan Wuhe just nodded. He knew from Yuan Niaoniao's performance that his granddaughter was both powerful and capable. Since she believed in His Royal Highness Prince Chen and they had also made an engagement, they were all in the same boat. Of course, he supported and trusted her very much, and that was why he became Niaoniao's biggest backer. His own abilities were limited, and he could not do anything for the Yuan family. He could only rely on the two of them. Did you see that? You must protect your two daughters in heaven and escort the Yuan family!
