I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Silent all night.

The next day, Su Luo woke up early.

After washing up and changing into plain white mourning clothes, Su Luo took Songlan and went to the mourning hall again.

The mourning hall was still deserted, with only the little prince kneeling in front of the coffin.

Seeing Su Luo coming, the little prince raised his head and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Wan Ning, you're here." The little prince said in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, brother." Su Luo walked to the little prince and knelt down with him.

The two knelt silently in front of the coffin, keeping vigil for their deceased mother.

The mourning hall was silent, with only the occasional sound of crying, which seemed particularly desolate.

Su Luo looked at the woman in the coffin, his heart filled with sadness and anger.

She secretly vowed to avenge her mother and make those who killed her pay the price.

"Wan Ning, I'm hungry." The little prince suddenly said in a low voice.

Only then did Su Luo notice that the little prince had a pale face and chapped lips, and was obviously starving.

"Brother, please get up and eat something first." Su Luo said softly.

"But... Mother..." The little prince hesitated.

"Mother doesn't want to see you starving yourself." Su Luo advised, "We all need to take good care of our health so that we can avenge Mother."

The little prince thought about it, nodded, and stood up.

Su Luo supported the little prince and walked to the side hall.

Some simple vegetarian meals were prepared in the side hall.

Su Luo filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to the little prince: "Brother, you should eat some porridge first."

The little prince took the porridge and began to eat it voraciously.

Looking at the little prince's miserable appearance, Su Luo felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

It was really difficult for the brother and sister to survive in this palace.

"Wan Ning, you eat too." The little prince took a few mouthfuls of porridge, looked up and said to Su Luo.

"Yeah." Su Luo nodded, also filled a bowl of porridge and ate it slowly.

The two of them finished their breakfast in silence and returned to the mourning hall to continue their vigil.

In the next few days, Su Luo stayed with the little prince in the mourning hall to keep vigil.

In addition to keeping vigil, Su Luo was also secretly observing the situation in the palace.

She discovered that Princess Wan Ning and her mother were indeed unfavored.

The palace people treated them coldly, even with some contempt.

Even the food that was delivered was just plain and simple, far inferior to that of other favored princes and princesses.

"This palace is really a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones." Su Luo thought to himself.

She became more determined to become stronger.

Only by becoming strong can you survive in this palace and protect yourself and your brother.

These days, in addition to guarding the body, Su Luo is also taking the time to practice Mingyu Gong and Yangzhou Man.

With the help of elixirs, her cultivation level improved rapidly, and she was already showing signs of breaking through to the peak of the acquired realm.

"It seems that it won't take long to break through to the innate realm." Su Luo's heart was full of anticipation.

As long as she breaks through to the innate realm, her strength will be able to reach a higher level, and she will be more confident in this palace.

In addition to practicing martial arts, Su Luo was also secretly observing Song Lan.

She discovered that Songlan was indeed a loyal palace maid who cared very much about Princess Wanning.

Su Luo decided to train Song Lan to be his confidant and his first helper in the palace.

"Song Lan, come here." Su Luo said to Song Lan who was busy.

"Princess, what do you want me to do?" Song Lan hurriedly walked up to Su Luo and asked respectfully.

Su Luo looked around and made sure no one noticed them before he whispered, "Song Lan, I have something to say to you."

"Princess, please speak. I am all ears." Song Lan said seriously.

Su Luo took a deep breath and said slowly: "Song Lan, I know you have always been good to me and loyal to me."

"Princess, the sun and the moon can testify to my love for you!" Song Lan knelt down quickly and said excitedly.

"I believe you." Su Luo helped Song Lan up and continued, "Song Lan, I regard you as my sister and my relative."

"Princess..." Song Lan was so moved that tears filled her eyes.

"Songlan, I want you to help me do something, are you willing?" Su Luo asked.

"Princess, please give me your orders. I will do it even if it means death!" Song Lan said without hesitation.

"Okay." Su Luo nodded with satisfaction and whispered a few words in Song Lan's ear.

After hearing Su Luo's words, Song Lan showed a look of surprise on his face, but then became determined again.

"Princess, don't worry. I will complete the task!" Song Lan said solemnly.

"I believe you." Su Luo nodded again and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With Song Lan as her confidant, her movements in the palace would be much easier.

As night fell, the palace was completely silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects adding to the quietness.

Su Luo sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the young yet resolute face in the mirror, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

"Princess, are you really determined to do this?" Song Lan stood aside, holding a simple dress in her hands, with a worried look on her face.

"Yes." Su Luo nodded, his eyes firm, "This is the best way at the moment."

"But..." Song Lan hesitated to speak. She knew that the princess was doing this for her and the prince's own good, but she was still worried.

"No buts." Su Luo interrupted Song Lan, his tone gentle but unquestionable, "Song Lan, trust me, I will take care of everything."

"I believe in the princess." Song Lan lowered her head and said softly.

Su Luo smiled slightly and motioned Song Lan to change her clothes.

After changing his clothes, Su Luo carefully combed his hair to ensure that he looked neat and tidy.

"Let's go." Su Luo stood up and said to Song Lan.

The two men walked out of the side hall, one in front and one behind, and headed towards the imperial garden.

The palace seems particularly quiet under the night sky.

Su Luo and Song Lan walked on the winding palace road, their steps very light, for fear of disturbing this rare tranquility.

"Princess, do you think the emperor will really be in the imperial garden?" Song Lan asked in a low voice.

"He should be there." Su Luo replied, "I've asked Xiao Anzi to inquire about it. The emperor has been in a bad mood recently and often relaxes in the Imperial Garden."

"Is Xiao Anzi reliable?" Song Lan was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Xiao Anzi was specially selected by me. He is very smart and loyal." Su Luo said.

Songlan nodded and stopped talking.

The two continued walking forward and soon arrived near the Imperial Garden.

Su Luo stopped and motioned Song Lan to wait here.

"Princess, are you going alone?" asked Song Lan.

"Yeah." Su Luo nodded, "Wait for me here, don't wander around."

"I understand." Song Lan replied.

Su Luo took a deep breath and walked into the imperial garden alone.
