Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Last time we talked about how Yunxi brought Xiaowan into the palace after careful consideration in order to facilitate the investigation of Sato Ran.

Because she knew that Sato Ran was a very cunning person, and it would be difficult to find out the truth if she relied on her own strength.

Xiaowan is smart and clever, and maybe she can help him a lot! So Yunxi took Xiaowan into the palace...

However, the emperor seemed unaware of Sato Ran's abnormality.

Was it because of her noble status as a princess, or because of her similar appearance to Yunxi, that the emperor fell in love with her and wanted to make her a concubine?

All of this is puzzling. Perhaps the emperor was attracted by Sato Ran's unique charm, or perhaps he just wanted to consolidate his power through marriage for political reasons.

In any case, this decision will trigger a series of chain reactions, changing the situation in the palace and the fate of everyone.

Whether Sato Ran is really willing to become the emperor's concubine, and what secrets and purposes are hidden behind her, has become a mystery that has attracted much attention.

In this intricate palace dispute, everyone has their own ulterior motives and plans.

It was a sunny day, Yunxi and Xiaowan dressed in gorgeous dresses, accompanying the Crown Prince to play and frolic in the Imperial Garden. They laughed and enjoyed a wonderful time.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kicked the shuttlecock vigorously, while Yunxi and Xiaowan clapped and cheered happily on the side.

Their laughter echoed in the imperial garden, as if filling the entire palace with vitality and vigor.

Just when everyone was having fun, suddenly, the emperor arrived! He walked over majestically, followed closely by a beautiful woman, Sato Ran.

When Yunxi and Xiaowan saw the emperor, they hurriedly bowed and paid homage to express their respect to him.

Their movements were graceful and elegant, showing good upbringing and etiquette.

The prince also bowed politely and said, "Greetings, father. How come you have time to come to the imperial garden today?"

"I see the weather is fine today, so I brought Princess Sato to the Imperial Garden for a walk." The emperor said while looking at Yunxi meaningfully.

Although Yunxi's heart was filled with ripples, she remained calm on the surface.

The emperor watched them play with a smile and talked with Yunxi and Xiaowan. He asked some questions about the prince's growth, and Yunxi and Xiaowan answered respectfully.

Sato Ran, who was standing next to the emperor, was observing all this quietly. There was a mysterious light in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something...

At this moment, the atmosphere in the imperial garden became a little subtle.

At this time, Sato Lan whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, when I was in Japan, I heard that the prince was very smart and clever. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

The emperor laughed and said, "Hahaha, Concubine Lan, you are too kind."

When Yunxi heard the word "Lan Fei", her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure.

The prince asked curiously, "Father, who is this beautiful sister?"

The emperor touched the prince's head and said, "This is Princess Sato from Japan. She will live in the palace from now on. You must treat her like your own sister."

The young prince happily agreed: "Okay, I understand."

Yunxi said calmly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on having a beautiful woman."

The emperor glanced at Yunxi, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Afterwards, the emperor took Sato Ran and left the imperial garden.

Yunxi watched them leave with mixed feelings in her heart...

Yunxi held Xiaowan's hand tightly, as if trying to calm her inner turmoil. She understood that Sato Lan's entry into the palace meant the intensification of the palace struggle.

"We have to be more careful," Yunxi whispered to Xiaowan, "After she becomes Concubine Lan, we have to be even more cautious."

Xiaowan nodded, with a determined light in her eyes, "Sister Yunxi, I will always be with you. We will definitely find out the truth."

As the days passed, Yunxi and Xiaowan secretly observed Sato Lan's every move. They found that Sato Lan was not as simple as she seemed, and she quickly established her own power in the palace.

Yunxi is determined to uncover the true identity of Sato Lan and protect the peace of the prince and the court. However, just as she is about to take further action, a sudden crisis comes...
