Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

Yan Canglan frowned. He had never left the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and was full of curiosity about the outside world, but at the same time he also felt a little fear.

He looked at his mother, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Lu Yundi noticed Yan Canglan's hesitation. She smiled softly and said, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Yan Canglan's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Mother, when have I ever been afraid? It's just that Jiangnan...can I really adapt to it?"

Lu Yundi smiled gently, his eyes full of confidence, "I believe you, my son, will be able to adapt to any environment."

Yan Canglan looked at his mother, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "Since mother believes in me so much, then I will go to Jiangnan."

……

Between the green bricks and tiles of Bailu Academy, the sunlight shines through the sparse leaves, dappling on the ancient stone road. Yan Canglan and Lu Zhiwei walk side by side towards the classroom. Although they are in the same class, their relationship is much closer than that of other classmates.

Yan Canglan was only twelve years old, with delicate features, smart and clever, and a pair of bright eyes like a lake, reflecting all kinds of things in the world. Lu Zhiwei was a few years older than him, with a calm face and a bookish air. He was Yan Canglan's uncle, and although the two were not related by blood, they were better than family members.

The two walked into the classroom and sat down in a corner. Yan Canglan couldn't help but be curious, and turned to look at Lu Zhiwei, with anticipation in his eyes.

"Uncle, I didn't expect that we would be assigned to the same class. Does this mean that we can study together and make progress together?"

Lu Zhiwei smiled slightly, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes, and he gently patted Yan Canglan's shoulder.

"Yes, Lan'er. From now on, we will live under the same roof, study together, and grow together. Cherish this time and don't let yourself down."

Yan Canglan nodded, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, uncle. I will work hard. However, I think the students in our class are very interesting, and some of them look very capable."

Lu Zhiwei smiled slightly, with a hint of depth in his eyes.

"That's right, Bailu Academy gathers the best talents in the world, and every student here has unique skills. But you must remember not to be overshadowed by the brilliance of others, you must work hard to become your own sun."

A gleam of light flashed in Yan Canglan's eyes, and he clenched his fists.

"Uncle, why are you always so serious?" Yan Canglan couldn't help but ask, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.

Lu Zhiwei smiled slightly, and the seriousness in his eyes faded a little: "Only seriousness can make you remember the rules of the academy and make you understand the seriousness of learning."

"But sometimes I feel that you are too serious, and I am a little scared." Yan Canglan lowered his head with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

……

Nine doors.

In the deep night, the supreme commander of the Nine Gates was dressed in black, as silent as a ghost. He sat in a dark secret room, staring at the spy in front of him with a sharp gaze.

The spy was kneeling on one knee, his forehead covered with beads of sweat, obviously he had just completed the surveillance mission of the Princess's Mansion.

The spy hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Commander, the princess seems to be fine these days, and everything in the mansion is normal. It's just that..."

"Just what?" The voice of the supreme commander of the Nine Gates was low and cold, revealing a hint of unquestionable majesty.

The spy swallowed and continued, "It's just that I discovered that the princess has been in frequent contact with people from the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion recently, and the two seem to have a special relationship with the second son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis."

The top commander of the Nine Gates frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Are you talking about the second son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis? The Zhao Yun who has always been low-key and rarely goes out?"

"Yes, Commander." The spy nodded, his expression becoming serious. "I tried to get close to Zhao Yun, but he seemed to be protected by a master, so I was unable to obtain any useful information."

The Supreme Commander of the Nine Gates pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Have you noticed any other unusual movements in the Princess's Mansion? For example, are there any strangers coming in and out, or who appears frequently?"

The spy shook his head and said, "The palace is heavily guarded and I did not find anything unusual. However, at night, I saw a dark figure wandering around the palace, but I was not able to see the man's face clearly because the distance was too far."

The supreme commander of the Nine Gates had a sharp light in his eyes. He stood up and walked towards the huge map hanging on the wall. He pointed to the location of the Princess's Mansion and said in a deep voice: "Could this black shadow be someone from the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion?"

The spy hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure, but that figure is agile and quick, and doesn't look like an ordinary person."

The Supreme Commander of the Nine Gates nodded, turned back to his seat, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You go down and rest first. I will make my own arrangements."

The spy left the secret room, leaving the Nine Gates Supreme Commander alone. The Nine Gates Supreme Commander took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a hint of determination.

……

On the second day, the Supreme Commander of the Nine Gates summoned the other nine commanders of the Nine Gates and asked them one by one about their surveillance of the Princess and the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. Each commander reported the area they were responsible for, but none of them found any useful clues.

The supreme commander of the Nine Gates sat in the main seat with a frown on his face.

"Commander, perhaps we should change our strategy." A commander named Qingyi suggested, "We can try to start with the people around the princess and see if we can find a breakthrough."

The Supreme Commander of the Nine Gates pondered for a moment and nodded: "You are right. Qingyi, you are responsible for investigating the people around the Princess, especially her confidants. The others continue to monitor the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion and don't miss any details."

The commanders took the order and left. The supreme commander of the Nine Gates sat alone in the room, his heart a mess.

……

As night fell, the supreme commander of the Nine Gates sent out spies again. This time, he personally sneaked into the Princess's mansion. He hid in the dark and closely observed the movements in the mansion. Until late at night, he finally found the black shadow.

The shadow wandered around the mansion, seemingly looking for something. The Supreme Commander of the Nine Gates followed closely behind, and finally stopped in a corner and talked to a woman.

The supreme commander of the Nine Gates approached quietly, and heard the shadow say, "Princess, I have passed the message to the Loyal and Brave Marquis as you instructed. But he doesn't seem to trust us. We need more evidence."

The woman smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Don't worry, I have a plan. As long as the wife of the Loyal and Brave Marquis makes a move, we can catch him in one fell swoop."

The Supreme Commander of the Nine Gates was shocked. He knew the Princess's methods very well, but her plan this time seemed too risky. He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Princess, this is indeed an opportunity, but if it is not handled properly, it may lead to unpredictable consequences. We must act with caution."

The princess put away her smile and looked determined: "I know the risks, but for the sake of the overall situation, this is a necessary sacrifice. You just need to follow my instructions, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

The Supreme Commander bowed his head slightly and replied, "Yes, I will follow your orders."
