Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

On the third day after the Emperor's birthday, the decree granting the marriage of the Sixth Princess to the Crown Prince of Northern Liao, Tuoba Tao, spread throughout the capital.

All the officials and their families who knew what happened on the Emperor's birthday understood the reasons behind this decree, but no one dared to talk about Emperor Ming lightly.

What's more, Nan Yanran is a witch who is a disaster to the country. It is a blessing for the entire Great Zhou to be able to send her far away to Northern Liao and prevent her from bringing disaster to the country and the people!

So when the decree was issued, except for the empress who was recuperating from illness and strongly opposed it, all the civil and military officials in the court praised it.

"I heard that the envoys from Northern Liao will leave the capital in a month, and the Sixth Princess's wedding party will leave with them. In order to appease the Sixth Princess, Emperor Ming gave her a very generous dowry and allowed her to summon her good female companions to the palace to talk with her, as a farewell in advance. However, Emperor Ming resolutely refused to allow the Sixth Princess to leave the palace."

While combing Lin Yushu's hair, Chuntao told her the recent gossip in the capital.

Lin Yushu gave a bright smile to the bronze mirror. Emperor Ming knew his daughter well and would certainly not let her leave the palace.

With Yinan Yanran's crazy personality, she would probably run away as soon as she leaves the palace, or even find a man to take her virginity. She would do anything terrible to avoid being sent to marry a foreign prince.

"I heard that she called many young ladies from official families into the palace to talk today, causing a lot of complaints. It is said that the young lady from the Dali Temple Shaoqing's family was slapped by the Sixth Princess yesterday because she was a little slow in replying."

"By the way, it seems that Miss Ye from the Duke of Qing's Mansion was also invited to the palace today."

"Who? Ye Wanling?"

Lin Yushu stood up immediately, but her hair was still in Chuntao's hand. Lin Yushu didn't care about the pain of her hair being pulled, and turned around and asked Chuntao in panic.

Chun Tao was startled by Lin Yushu's reaction and quickly replied, "It's her."

Got it!

Ye Wanling and Nan Yanran had never had any interaction before. Being called to the palace at this moment could only mean that Nan Yanran had discovered that Ye Wanling had previously learned riding and archery from Lin Ling.

She wants revenge!

"Chun Tao, go to the Shen Mansion and tell Master Shen Mutang a message..."

"Leng Dai, accompany me to find Nan Shuning. I want to go to the palace with her!"

Lin Yushu quickly packed up a few bottles of poison that could be used and hurried towards the mansion.

Lin Yushu is not qualified to enter the palace, but Nan Shuning is. She can bring herself into the palace under the pretext of visiting the empress dowager.

Nan Yanran is a ruthless person. Now that the marriage is imminent, Emperor Ming will not punish her easily. She will definitely become even crazier. I am afraid that Ye Wanling will be in great danger...

On the other side, Ye Wanling, who had received the imperial decree to enter the palace, was walking in the palace in surprise.

"I wonder why the Sixth Princess called me into the palace to talk?"

Ye Wanling couldn't help but ask the palace maid who was leading the way. She had only seen Nan Yanran a few times at palace banquets, but had never spoken to her. She didn't know why she was summoned into the palace at this time.

"I don't know." The maid replied with her head down.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, Ye Wanling entered the palace where the queen lived, Kunning Palace.

The Sixth Princess was the Queen's legitimate daughter and lived in the Hibiscus Palace to the east of Kunning Palace. As soon as she entered the yard, she could see a large lotus pond with blooming lotus flowers on the green lotus leaves.

Lotus flowers are noble and pure. Since the Sixth Princess likes lotus flowers, she shouldn’t be as unruly as the rumors say...

Ye Wanling comforted herself as she walked into the main hall.

In the main hall, Nan Yanran sat in the main seat, and on both sides sat Sun Miaomiao, the daughter of the Vice Minister of Rites, Dong Yanjun, the daughter of the Junior Minister of Zongzheng Temple, and Su Xiwen, the sister of the Vice Minister of Works.

Ye Wanling stepped forward to greet everyone, but Nan Yanran sat on the chair without moving, as if she hadn't seen Ye Wanling.

Ye Wanling has always been careless, so she didn't care much about this and just sat down.

"Did I tell you to sit down?"

Nan Yanran's lazy voice suddenly sounded, startling Ye Wanling who had just sat down. However, with her years of upbringing still in her body, she immediately stood up and saluted.

"Excuse me, Sixth Princess, may I take a seat?"

Nan Yanran looked at Ye Wanling who was bowing to her politely with a joking look, her lips moving slightly.

"No."

Ye Wanling was stunned again. No matter how stupid she was, she could now tell that Nan Yanran was deliberately making things difficult for her.

She didn't say anything else to humiliate herself, but just stared at this unruly princess, wanting to see what she was going to do.

"The weather has been getting hotter recently. In order to slow down the melting of the ice in the temple, I even stopped using incense. The room is now empty of fragrance and feels very bland..."

Sun Miaomiao seemed to have communicated with Nan Yanran and took over the conversation very naturally.

"I have heard that there is a method to melt ice that can emit fragrance when the ice melts. This method has a nice name, called Beauty Ice."

Ye Wanling listened to their conversation and had a bad feeling in her heart. Sure enough, Sun Miaomiao continued.

"All it takes is for the beauty to hold an ice cube in her arms and sit in a water tank filled with flower petals. As the ice cube melts, the flower petals and the beauty's rouge will emit fragrance."

"Oh? There is such a clever idea. Why don't we trouble Miss Ye to provide us with some cool air?"

!!!

Ye Wanling looked at Nan Yanran in disbelief. She didn't expect that Nan Yanran was not only unruly, but also a tyrant.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to that."

"Don't worry, Miss Ye. I heard that you practice martial arts frequently and are good at riding and shooting. With such a healthy body, it won't matter if you freeze for a while."

"Don't mind? Then come on."

Sun Miaomiao was choked by the retort and looked at Nan Yanran aggrievedly.

Nan Yanran laughed out of anger, and her magical look gradually became ferocious.

"I am a legitimate princess. Could it be that Miss Ye doesn't take me seriously because I am about to be married off?"

Without waiting for Ye Wanling to deny, Nan Yanran continued to be aggressive.

"Father promised me to summon you to the palace and let you accompany me well, is that right or not?"

Ye Wanling's mouth was dry, and she replied stiffly, "Yes."

"If you can't do what I asked you to do today, then even if you didn't accompany me well, if I get mad at you and become ill, it will delay the marriage..."

Facing Nan Yanran's undisguised threat, Ye Wanling broke out in a cold sweat. She knew that the marriage was the most important thing in the court at the moment.

She also knew that Nan Yanran was a demon woman who brought disaster to the country, and Emperor Ming had to send her away.

If Nan Yanran really took advantage of the situation today and slandered Ye Wan for causing her spiritual illness, she would be the one who would suffer in the end, and even her father and the Duke of Qing's Mansion would be implicated.

Although she did not understand what was happening in the court, there was one thing that everyone in the Duke of Qing’s mansion knew.

That is, Emperor Ming has been looking for reasons to suppress the Duke of Qing's Mansion, which is also the reason why her father and uncle have never been promoted to higher positions.

Perhaps it was because the old Duke of Qing was the teacher of the late crown prince and did not support Emperor Ming back then, or perhaps it was because the Duke of Qing’s Mansion was wealthy enough to rival a country, which made Emperor Ming covetous.

In short, Ye Wanling must not cause trouble for the Duke of Qing’s Mansion, and must not give Emperor Ming any reason to punish the Duke of Qing’s Mansion!

Ye Wanling gritted her teeth and held back the resentment and anger in her heart.

"Your Highness agrees!"
