Pei Zhanzhou asked this question a long time ago.

But back then it was with suspicion and temptation, now it is with subtle tension.

Faced with this question, Jiang Wansang had already prepared countless answers.

But when she looked at Pei Zhanzhou, she couldn't bring herself to say the standard answers she had prepared.

She could feel that Pei Zhanzhou was not testing her by asking this question. His endless eyes seemed to hide some emotion that made her dare not look directly at him.

After a long silence, Jiang Wansang finally nodded, "My name is indeed Jiang Wansang."

Nodding, he admitted that he was not "Jiang Wansang".

But her name is indeed Jiang Wansang.

The moment he got her answer, a light seemed to flash in Pei Zhanzhou's eyes.

He understood Jiang Wansang's character.

Even if she trusted Zhe Liu, she would not easily tell her her origins.

But in response to his question, she did not deny it.

Pei Zhanzhou couldn't help but think of what Jiang Wansang had said before, that she deliberately approached him just for his face.

He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his cheek, and his whole body subconsciously relaxed.

It seems that her trust in herself and her intentions are somewhat different.

Jiang Wansang watched his movements: "???"

She admitted that she was not "Jiang Wansang", so why did he touch her face?

Even if you want to touch her, shouldn't you check if she's wearing a human skin mask on her face?

The two of them were lost in their own thoughts, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Finally, Pei Zhanzhou came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and stopped asking questions. "Since you're okay, I'll go back to the Imperial Master's Mansion to deal with the matter of the Heavenly Stone."

The reason why he didn't move was that Jiang Wansang was still in a coma and the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he was worried.

The second reason was that he had personally witnessed Jiang Wansang changing the words on the Heavenly Stone, and he was not clear about her specific plans, so it was difficult for him to take action.

Pei Zhanzhou moved quickly. Before Jiang Wansang could call out to him, he had already opened the door and left.

When Zhe Liu came back with food, he happened to meet Pei Zhanzhou going out, and saw the smile on his lips at a glance.

Zheliu's eyes widened a little.

The Imperial Master could actually smile so... sweetly?!

It seems that the young lady and the national teacher are developing quite well!

Zheliu walked into the house with a tray in his hand, smiling, and saw his young lady staring at the door with an eager look.

Seeing that it was herself who came in, the young lady asked nervously, "Zheliu, has Pei Zhanzhou left?"

She had just forgotten to ask what the outside world was saying about the arrival of the Heavenly Stone, so that she could make some corresponding arrangements.

Zheliu's smile deepened, "He left, and he was still smiling when he left!"

Jiang Wansang: "..."

Why does this sound weird?

Also, what's with Zheliu's auntie smile?

Before Jiang Wansang could ask, his eyes were attracted by the food in her hand.

Although I drank two bowls of porridge, it was not enough to satisfy my hunger and the taste was very light, not as delicious as the food with added salt and ingredients.

Jiang Wansang didn't want to ask anything at the moment and quickly asked Zheliu to bring the food over.

After eating, drinking and resting well, Jiang Wansang called Jiang Er to find out about the latest situation.

Just as she expected, the appearance of Tianshi caused an uproar in the imperial city, and everyone from top to bottom was discussing it.

The eight words engraved on the heavenly stone also caused widespread discussion. Almost everyone believed that "Jiang's Heavenly Girl" referred to Jiang Zihan.

"I heard that the Sky Stone has its own divine power and won't let ordinary people get close to it. But as soon as Second Miss Jiang appeared, the divine power protecting the Sky Stone automatically disappeared."

"Although there are many women with the surname Jiang in the world, only Miss Jiang was by the Heavenly Stone at that time. This must be a revelation from the gods, specially placed by Miss Jiang's side."

"No wonder Second Miss Jiang is always different from ordinary women. It turns out she's actually a celestial being! I used to believe the rumors and say a lot of bad things about celestial beings. Damn it!"

……

Such remarks spread throughout the imperial city, and even the news of the "celestial maiden" gradually spread to other parts of Nansu Kingdom.

Jiang Zihan's originally tainted reputation was cleared in an instant, as if everyone had forgotten the scandals she and Sun Shuo had caused.

I have to say that Heaven really favors its destined daughter.

Jiang Wansang had expected such a change in public opinion, but what she wanted to know more was how the court would define the word "celestial maiden".

Public discussion can only be regarded as public opinion; the imperial edict issued by the person in a high position is the real key.

Jiang Wansang originally planned to ask Pei Zhanzhou about it. After all, as the emperor's "confidant", he would definitely be the first to know about this matter before the imperial edict was issued.

But before she could find Pei Zhanzhou, the imperial edict suddenly arrived at the prime minister's residence, ordering the two young ladies of the Jiang family to enter the palace with Jiang Gaoyuan.

Even Jiang Wansang himself did not expect this imperial decree.

Perhaps because of the halo of the heroine, everyone in the public was discussing Jiang Zihan, and no one thought of Jiang Wansang, the Miss Jiang who "fell unconscious due to being frightened by a horse."

The emperor suddenly summoned her and Jiang Zihan into the palace at this time, which must have been the work of Pei Zhanzhou.

In just a moment, Jiang Wansang guessed what Pei Zhanzhou meant.

This is exactly what she originally wanted to do.

So, Jiang Wansang dressed up and followed Jiang Gaoyuan into the palace early the next morning.

Originally, Jiang Gaoyuan sent someone to Ting Sang Ge last night to call her, saying that he had something important to tell her.

Jiang Wansang could guess what they wanted to say with just her toes, so she ignored them and directly kicked them out of Tingsang Pavilion.

So Jiang Gaoyuan could only speak on the way to the palace: "Wan Sang, I don't care how you persuaded Master Pei to help you win this decree, the goddess can only be Han'er."

He had a warning and threatening look on his face. "Han'er is my own flesh and blood. She was the only one standing next to the Heavenly Stone at that time. She must be the Heavenly Maiden. Han'er is of noble status. You, a person of lowly origin, cannot compare to her."

The relationship had already been torn apart, and there were no outsiders around, so Jiang Gaoyuan certainly would not continue to pretend to be a kind father.

If he hadn't been afraid of Master Pei behind her and was afraid that this lunatic would cause trouble again, he would have kicked her out of the Prime Minister's Mansion long ago!

Jiang Wansang raised her eyelids, half smiling, "Didn't they say my background is unknown? How did I become lowly again? Could it be that, as Nanny Li said, I wasn't just picked up on the street, but was instead the daughter of a prostitute you specifically brought here?"

Jiang Gaoyuan's face froze slightly.

Although he is now the Seventh Prince's man, if what happened back then were to be exposed, it would affect the relationship between Han'er and the Seventh Prince, and his sincerity in surrendering to him might even be questioned.

Thinking of this, Jiang Gaoyuan quickly scolded: "Don't listen to that slave's nonsense. If you have that kind of background, what good will it do me? Someone must be deliberately trying to tarnish your reputation. Don't be fooled!"

He looked like he was giving a kind reminder, but he was actually a little nervous.

Because he really didn't know the specific origins of Jiang Wansang, but looking at the appearance of Li Ma and her son at the time, those rumors did not seem false.

That slave is such a useless waste. He could have stolen or robbed a baby girl, but why did he choose to find a prostitute to ruin his reputation!

Jiang Wansang could see what the old man was thinking. He sneered and closed his eyes to rest. He had no intention of listening to him anymore.

A quarter of an hour later, the group finally entered the palace.
