Wen Yan had learned a little bit of chess from the late emperor. She looked at the black and white chessboard in front of her, with the chess pieces spread out in a starry sky. She thought for a moment, "There is only this one left that has not been decided yet."

Wang Jiu glanced at the place she mentioned and said, "Do you want me to help you with it?"

Wen Yan shook her head and said, "Leave this person to the Death Tower."

When Hua Jing switched her and Xiang Yun's identities, Hua Jing should have been in her early teens. How could she know these secrets and accurately know Xiang Yun's location at such a young age?

This matter has been weighing on Wen Yan's mind.

Moreover, Hua Jing has been attacking Wan Xiaqing and Ye Qinghuai frequently recently, which is indeed very suspicious.

Just let them go to the Death Tower and ask them everything they know.

Wang Jiu smiled and placed a piece on the chessboard, saying meaningfully: "How do we capture the piece in the middle?"

Wen Yan: "If you want to eat this chess piece, the secret is in the incense burner in my room. Wang Jiu, you lose this game of chess. It's getting late, shouldn't you leave?"

Wang Jiu looked at the chessboard and found that he had indeed lost. "Madam Wen's chess skills have improved a lot. Even I, a chess loser who has played for more than ten years, lost to you today."

Wen Yan didn't buy his trick: "It's just that you gave me a few steps."

Before Wang Jiu left, he looked back hesitantly: "Madam Wen, what do you want to do after this is done?"

Wen Yan thought for a moment and said, "The flowers at the Flower Festival are blooming beautifully. I want to continue doing business there. What do you think?"

Wang Jiu chuckled: "I think that's a good idea. If I retire and return home, I wonder if you can take me in?"

"It depends on my mood. If you are a useful person, you can stay."

Xiangyun and Siyun received the news from Wen Yan and immediately rushed over from Huachao County to assassinate Hua Jing together.

They were wearing night clothes and marching forward. But for some reason, in the dark, Hua Jing recognized Xiang Yun with his mask on at a glance.

She screamed, blood gushing out of her body, and the bastard beside her was no longer breathing. But she didn't care, she only cared about the person in front of her: "It's you, why are you here?"

Xiang Yun looked at her in confusion. He had only met this person once before, so how could he recognize her identity in the dark?

Hua Jing glared at Xiang Yun fiercely: "Why! Why? In the previous life, if you married him, you could become the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, but I could only die in the deep palace. Why is it that this time, I have already obtained your identity. Why am I the one who died! This must not be true. If I can do it again, I will definitely-"

Before she could finish, Siyun had already slit her throat: "Don't pay attention to it, it's just nonsense before death."

Siyun held Xiangyun's hand tightly, as if holding a lost treasure: "Let's go."

The two returned to the inn and did not plan to leave now. Xiangyun planned to see Wen Yan before leaving.

However, she had just changed her clothes and was eating downstairs when she was seen by the emperor's secret guards who were passing by.

These people were all secret guards who had lived and died with Xiang Yun. He looked at Xiang Yun's face in surprise, thinking he was seeing things.

But no matter how many times he looked at it, he still felt it was exactly the same. He would never mistake it, it was Miss Yun's face, but when he wanted to go upstairs to check, he found that she was gone.

The secret guard returned to the palace and reported the matter to Yuan Hesong.

Yuan Hesong refused to believe it, "I buried Yun'er's body with my own hands! There is no way she is still alive!"

Yuan Hesong would rather believe this than believe that Xiangyun was trying to escape from him and was reluctant to show up.

Yuan Hesong thought about his recent acquaintance with Wen Yan, and realized that perhaps Wen Yan and Xiang Yun had known each other for a long time!

When he thought of this possibility, Yuan Hesong went to find Wen Yan angrily: "Tell me! Did you know that Yun'er was still alive?"

After listening to his questioning, Wen Yan softly repeated what she had said when they first met: "Your Majesty, if you really liked your sister, why did you let the queen kill her? You are just enjoying the convenience brought by your sister. Do you really love her? You don't deserve to love her!"

"I don't deserve to love her?"

Yuan Hesong repeated it angrily, "You are talking nonsense!"

He pretended to strangle Wen Yan, but Wen Yan took a step back, loosened her sleeves and waved them, and white powder fell onto the emperor's face.

Yuan Hesong’s eyes went dark and he fainted.

Half a month later, the new emperor passed away.

Prince Qing ascended the throne, and Princess Qing, the newly crowned female top scholar Wan Dongling, became the queen and began to rule the country from behind the scenes.

There were many people who were originally dissatisfied, but since Wan Dongling was the new top scholar, his talent was witnessed by everyone.

During the days when she was ruling from behind the curtain, she was decisive and ruthless, using both soft and hard tactics. After just a few days, some neutral ministers became obedient.

In addition, although he was handling government affairs, Wan Dongling had no intention of seizing the throne; he was just handling official business.

This realization made everyone feel relieved. What's more, the original Prince Qing was stupid, and if the world was really put in his hands, it would be a mess.

Although some clan members were eyeing the throne, Wan Dongling's methods were clean and efficient, and with the Jinyiwei protecting her, no one could get close to her.

After the New Year, the Ye family army frequently brought good news. Yuan Xin was ultimately unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Ye family army and surrendered.

The current queen's younger sister, Wan Xiaqing, has made many contributions and was named the Great General of Protecting the Nation. Not long after, she married the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

In the same year, the Duke of Zhenguo, who had been in a coma for five years, woke up and passed away after attending Ye Qinghuai's wedding. Ye Qinghuai officially became the Duke of Zhenguo.

Another year of winter.

Wen Yan's family gathered around the tea table and talked about the future.

Wan Dongling naturally had to stay in the palace and be the queen who ruled the country from behind the scenes.

Wan Xiaqing is already married, but he still trains soldiers to run to the barracks all day long and refuses to slack off at all.

Wan Xuan practices medicine and saves lives in the largest clinic in the capital.

Wan He...also began to work hard and determined to give Wang Yinchen the best life.

The candlelight flickered and the hall was very lively.

Wen Yan is also very happy. When she came to this world, she unknowingly had so many ties, and her children are all so outstanding.
