In fact, even if Xiahou Xuan didn't ask, Jiang Wange planned to tell her his true identity in this dynasty.

"Then you have to promise me first that you won't be angry or hold me responsible, otherwise I won't tell you."

Jiang Wange's threat really had no deterrent effect on the ancient feudal dynasty, but she just felt that Xiahou Xuan would agree to her.

Xiahou Xuan smiled softly upon hearing this, and then responded:

"Okay, I promise you, I won't be angry."

Hearing this, Jiang Wange began to plan to tell Xiahou Xuan:

"In fact, I don't know anything about my life in the past ten years. I got a serious illness and forgot a lot of things when I woke up. When I opened my eyes, I found that I was sold to a place like a brothel..."

"What? A brothel? What's going on?"

Xiahou Xuan, who had been smiling just now, suddenly changed his expression. He looked at Jiang Wange with concern, and a hint of anger.

Jiang Wange thought Xiahou Xuan had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained:

"Don't think too much. I didn't stay in the brothel for long, and I only sold my art but not my body..."

"What are you thinking about? That's not what I'm thinking about. Don't I know whether you are clean or not?"

Xiahou Xuan didn't think that Jiang Wange was not clean. It was their first time and Xiahou Xuan was clear-headed and knew that Jiang Wange was clean. He was just angry that Jiang Wange had experienced such a thing before.

"Oh, I thought you disliked me." Jiang Wange said sullenly.

"I won't dislike you. Please continue. What happened next?"

Xiahou Xuan whispered soothingly, then urged her to continue.

"I didn't stay in the brothel for even a day before a kind-hearted person redeemed me."

"Could this kind-hearted person you are talking about be Jiang Huaiyuan, the magistrate of Anhe County?" Xiahou Xuan figured something out and asked her.

"Yes, it was him. Magistrate Jiang was a good official. On that day, he rescued many women who were forced to sell themselves to brothels like me. Then he picked me out of all the women, brought me home and adopted me as his daughter, and changed my name to Jiang Wange."

After hearing this, Xiahou Xuan roughly understood what was going on:

"So, he brought you home so that you could replace Jiang Wanyi in the imperial selection?"

"Yes and no. My father is kind-hearted. He didn't think too much about me when he brought me home. He just felt sorry for me and couldn't remember where my home was. It wouldn't be a big deal to adopt a daughter anyway, so he just raised me. Who knew that Wanyi would meet Wen Yilan later and fall in love with him, and was not willing to enter the palace..."

"If I knew that Wen Yilan liked Jiang Wanyi, I would not let Jiang Wanyi enter the palace." Xiahou Xuan explained.

"What's the point of saying all this now? We didn't know at the time that Wen Yilan was the imperial physician in the palace, and that he was your brother who grew up with you. I couldn't bear to see my father and Jiang Wanyi so distressed, so I took the initiative to ask to enter the palace for the selection on Jiang Wanyi's behalf. You know what happened afterwards."

Jiang Wange concealed the fact that she was a modern person who traveled through time, and told Xiahou Xuan everything else without hiding anything.

After listening to Jiang Wange's words, Xiahou Xuan understood.

"In that case, I have to thank Jiang Huaiyuan. If he hadn't rescued you from the brothel, I wouldn't have met you."

Xiahou Xuan thought about it and felt fortunate that it was Jiang Wange who entered the palace, not Jiang Wanyi. Otherwise, not only would he not meet the person he liked, but he would also break up his good brother's marriage.

"Well, you should thank my father. He is a good official." Jiang Wange commented impartially.

Xiahou Xuan thought thoughtfully after hearing this. Perhaps, he could transfer his father-in-law to the capital to be an official, but the prerequisite was that he was indeed a good official.

"Did you meet Jiang Wanyi tonight?"

"you saw it?"

"I was just guessing. If Jiang Wanyi hadn't told you something, you would definitely not confess to me and would have continued to hide it." Xiahou Xuan chuckled, then scratched her nose lovingly.

"Hmph, it's good that you know. The matter of me entering the palace to select a concubine on her behalf can be a big deal or a small matter. It would be best if I can continue to keep it a secret. If I can't keep it a secret, then I will have to confess." Jiang Wange said unhappily.

"If you tell me now, aren't you afraid that I will blame you and the Jiang family?"

"You will not."

"Oh? So sure?"

"Well, I know you won't anyway." Jiang Wange nodded affirmatively.

Xiahou Xuan's smile became brighter:

It seems that his Wanwan already knows his feelings for her, so she is so sure that she will not blame anyone. This is a good thing.

At night, after Jiang Wange fell asleep, Xiahou Xuan called the Xuanyi Guard and asked him to check Jiang Huaiyuan's political achievements in Anhe County. If he was a good official, he would transfer him to the capital to serve so that he could be reunited with his two daughters.

At the most important moment, Xiahou Xuan wanted to thank his father-in-law in person.

In Ci'an Palace, the Empress Dowager was furious. Xia Qingqian knelt on the ground and dared not say a word, while Concubine Shu sat on a chair and watched the fun.

"You are so useless! I was counting on you to save face in front of His Majesty, but His Majesty didn't even look at you!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am incompetent. But please give me another chance. I will work hard to gain your favor." Xia Qingqian immediately kowtowed and apologized.

"Forget about it. Didn't you see how Your Majesty was bewitched by that vixen today? No one is worthy of his eyes. He even contradicted me and disobeyed me in public for her!"

This is what made the Queen Mother the most angry, not because she refused Xia Qingqian to be a concubine, nor because of Xia Qingqian's incompetence, but because Xiahou Xuan actually disobeyed her in public and disregarded her face!

"Empress Dowager, I still think that the best way is to get rid of Jiang Liangyuan. Before Jiang Liangyuan appeared, Your Majesty always obeyed the Empress Dowager's words and never favored any one concubine. After she became favored, everything changed. In order to get everything back to the starting point, we can only get rid of this variable." Concubine Shu proposed again.

It is imperative to get rid of Jiang Wange.

But she had already failed once, and the Queen Mother might not be confident in letting her do it again.

When the Queen Mother heard what Concubine Shu said, she also fell into deep thought.

The desire to get rid of Jiang Wange has never been so strong.

At this time, Xia Qingqian, who was kneeling on the ground, volunteered:

"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries."

"Oh? What good idea did you come up with?"

Hearing her say this, the Queen Mother became more interested.

"No venture, no gain. I want to get close to Jiang Liangyuan and become her friend. I will strike at the critical moment and I will surely hit her with one strike." Xia Qingqian was very determined and vicious.

Even the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu were shocked by the murderous intent that flashed across Xia Qingqian's eyes.

But the Queen Mother did not think this was a bad thing. It was easier to control people if they had ambitions.

"Okay, I'll wait and see. Remember, you only have this one chance. If you fail, you'll have to get out of the palace."
