"Yes, mother." Shangguan Hongzhe responded respectfully.

"I only managed to escape and leave the Shangguan family by faking my own death. Otherwise, I don't know when I would be able to leave Wei. Uncovering Zishu's story is also a good thing for me, but it's a pity that our plan back then was ruined."

Aunt Wang felt very sorry for such a good plan.

But I was also glad that I gave her a chance to escape and only sacrificed a substitute.

"Mother is right, but they still managed to find the iron box." Shangguan Hongzhe felt sorry about this.

They planned for so long and seized such a good opportunity, but in the end they failed.

"Alas, we have tried our best. Man proposes, God disposes. The people sent by your uncle are too useless. They were discovered when they arrived at the border.

You continue to wait, and take action when you get the chance. If that doesn't work, then rob it by force, at any cost, and then you can use this opportunity to return to Canglan.

As long as I'm here, your uncle won't care even if you're from Prince Rong's Mansion. Just because I've made such a huge sacrifice, he'll have to acknowledge you as his nephew and arrange a suitable position for you.

In order to win the emperor's love for my mother, I accepted his arrangement, risked my own life, and drank a bowl of poison to put on a show.

Fortunately, I survived, and then I was arranged to come to Wei. Then I found a way to be with your father and became a concubine in Prince Rong's Mansion.

It's really a bargain for Shangguan Yunsong that the dignified Princess Canglan is allowed to be a concubine."

Aunt Wang is very confident, but at the same time she feels melancholy about the sacrifices she has made over the years.

Shangguan Yunsong is the old prince.

For so many years, she has been lurking in the Wei Dynasty, just to get the iron box and establish Canglan's spy network in the Wei Dynasty.

She accomplished two things.

The emperor was assassinated, but although he was not killed, the eldest prince was deposed.

The second was to steal the iron box out of Prince Rong's Mansion, but unfortunately it was found again.

The child exchange was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

At that time, her daughter-in-law and Mrs. Luo became pregnant at about the same time, so she came up with the idea of ​​switching babies. Then she used a trick to make Mrs. Luo give birth a few days early, on the same day as her daughter-in-law.

If both of them had daughters, she would not change.

Of course, because of the child exchange, they were able to steal the iron box more smoothly later.

"Mother, please bring a few more people. I'm not very reassured," Shangguan Hongzhe advised.

“Okay, we’ve lost a lot of people, so we won’t add to your burden.

No one knows that I am still alive. I only need to dress up a little and I can return to Canglan smoothly.

On the contrary, you have to observe three years of mourning and are not in the court, so it is not easy for you to get a lot of information.

But you can take this opportunity to train your men.

Maybe when the day comes when you need to rob something by force, you will have a better chance of success and won't be chased by the palace guards and have no way to escape.

Also, you need to improve your martial arts. Fortunately, I allowed you to learn martial arts, otherwise you would have received those sixty military sticks."

Aunt Wang explained seriously.

She also felt a little reluctant. This was her own son. Although he was from the Shangguan family, she had taught him personally since he was a child and rarely let the old prince discipline him, so he had never been close to the old prince.

But the old prince saw that he was always studying hard and didn't need him to worry at all, so he let her discipline him with confidence.

She didn't let the child know her true identity until she was fifteen years old.

Moreover, she had taught her son since he was a child to listen to her. She also told him a lot about Canglan Kingdom and its history many years ago, and expressed how much harm that history had caused to Canglan.

Over time, her son naturally sided with her, and she also promised that if he went to Canglan Country in the future, his son would be granted the title of a prince.

He is a Canglan native and a member of the royal family.

When she came to the Great Wei, her father gave her ten people, all of whom were secret guards with high martial arts skills. With the help of these ten people, she gradually built up her own network of contacts in the Great Wei.

However, the Emperor of Wei never relaxed his crackdown on Canglan's spies, resulting in the elimination of many of her points.

She rebuilt it, and repeated this process for many years.

"Don't worry, mother. I know what to do." Shangguan Hongzhe was also reluctant to leave.

"Alright, I'll leave the capital before the city gates close this afternoon, so don't see me off. Just stay home.

You should also train Ziling well and let him take the test. He is almost seventeen years old.

It is enough for us mother and son to work for Canglan, so let him live an ordinary life as a citizen of Wei.

If something happens to you, the Emperor of Wei may let him go because he is a descendant of the Shangguan family, and you will have a descendant.

As for Zishu, just pretend that you never gave birth to this son.

The fact that he already knew his own background but didn't come to us shows his intentions.

He hates us.”

Aunt Wang saw it very clearly.

"Yes, mother. Please take good care of yourself. Your son will be reunited with you as soon as possible."

Shangguan Hongzhe always obeys his mother's words and has been submissive and dependent on her for so many years.

That afternoon, when most people were leaving the city, Aunt Wang dressed herself up as an old beggar and blended in with them. However, she was quickly driven out of the city by the soldiers guarding the gate, who thought she had dirtyed the streets of the capital.

The next day, the emperor really issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage and went to Prince Jing's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion at the same time.

Princess Jing felt relieved now.

Now that my daughter’s marriage is settled, only my son is left.

Princess Lingxuan, who had just received the imperial edict, came to Prince Rong's Mansion excitedly.

After greeting the princess, I came to Qiyayuan.

"Sister-in-law Yuan Zheng." As soon as she saw someone, she called out happily.

Her smile was so bright that it almost dazzled Yu Yuanzheng's eyes.

"Are you so happy because you got what you wanted?" Yu Yuanzheng teased.

"of course."

"Did you say when you're going to get married?"

"How can it be so fast? Didn't the Emperor uncle say that he should take the exam next? Mother said that we can wait until he finishes the Spring Examination before setting a date. A few months won't be too much of a hassle."

"You're not in a hurry anymore?"

"When did I become anxious?" Princess Lingxuan blushed with embarrassment. "As long as the marriage is settled, it doesn't matter when. He won't run away."

"Do you like him so much?" In Yu Yuanzheng's eyes, the skinny Mr. Zhao was not worthy of her attention.

She likes men with strong arms like her husband.

"We were childhood sweethearts. He's been close to my eldest brother since we were little, and since I don't have any other sisters, I could only play with my brother, and he always took care of me back then. So we just fell in love over time."

Princess Lingxuan is not reserved at all in front of her best friend and says whatever she wants.

"How old were you then? You should have been less than seven years old. Your mother would definitely not let you play with them after you were seven." Yu Yuanzheng didn't believe it.

"Don't we still have Zhirou? Brother Zhao, can't you bring your sister along so we can play together?"

Yu Yuanzheng choked.

The capital city is so small, and that's how it is.

"Too."

"Now my mother is worried about my brother. He's already twenty years old and still hasn't settled down."

This sister started thinking about her brother as soon as she decided on her own.

Good sister.

"Does he have a sweetheart?" Yu Yuanzheng asked casually.

"I've never seen him look at any girl twice, but I saw him in a daze twice. Could he be thinking about a woman?" Princess Lingxuan had indeed seen her brother showing signs of lust twice.

Yu Yuanzheng and Cao Jinyu had the most contact along the way to Southern Shu Kingdom.

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.

Could it be what she thought?
