Shen Wanru gathered her cloak and walked proudly to Shen Wanqing's side, "Thank you, Fourth Sister, for coming out to greet me. It's a pity that the Crown Prince didn't come today. I wonder if he's disappointed."

"The prince is not related to me. There is no need to be disappointed." Shen Wanqing snorted coldly.

"You! You are just hypocritical, and you will never be blessed. But I am different. I am now close to the Crown Prince, and entering the Eastern Palace is only a matter of time. You will have to bow to me when you see me in the future."

Shen Wanru stroked the pattern on her shawl, looking indescribably arrogant.

"Eldest sister, isn't it a bit early to say this? As far as I know, only the Crown Princess can perform such a grand ceremony for a noble lady like me. If it were a concubine, it wouldn't be enough. I think elder sister is confident about entering the East Palace and becoming the Crown Princess. I would like to congratulate you first."

"Of course, the prince loves me very much. The prince and I are truly in love and don't care about our status. No matter what my status is in the future, it will be much higher than yours."

"Really? In the royal family, so-called love is the cheapest thing. Therefore, the harem is not short of beauties. With your character, you'll just be a stepping stone for others to climb up. And you're still obsessed with winning the prince's love. That's a huge joke."

There was no need for Shen Wanqing to pretend to be a sister with her, and her words at this time were merciless.

Although her words were a bit harsh, they were the truth.

Shen Wanru didn't care. She knew very well how the prince treated her. Shen Wanqing's words were clearly out of jealousy.

She raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "Your Highness has me in his heart. He is much better than those in the East Palace. How can they compare with me?"

She is the daughter of the Marquis's family and has the entire Marquis's family as her backer. As long as she can give birth to a firstborn son, her status will rise. Is she still worried about not having the chance to become an empress in the future?

People who cannot see the situation clearly always think they are very powerful.

Two days later, the prince really sent someone to deliver a letter to Shen Yunlan, expressing his intention to raise Shen Wanru as a child.

Shen Yunlan had a general idea of ​​what happened when Shen Wanru returned home a few days ago. Although he was angry at her misconduct at the time, he did not blame her in the end.

Now that he understood the prince's intention, he was really furious.

He was from the Marquis's family, and Shen Wanru was the eldest daughter of the family. In terms of status, she was at least a concubine. How could she be just a child?

Although Shen Yunlan was angry, he still called Shen Wanru and told her the general idea of ​​the prince to see if she agreed.

"As for the young boy... that's also possible." Although Shen Wanru was reluctant in her heart, she had no bargaining chips now and could only swallow all the grievances. "Your Highness has me in his heart. Position is secondary. The main thing is to win Your Highness's heart. I think Your Highness has considered it..."

"As long as you agree!" Seeing Shen Wanru like this, Shen Yunlan waved his hands irritably, "I will discuss it with His Highness again. I will send you to the Eastern Palace when everything is ready."

After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family, and Shen Yunlan cannot let himself lose face, so after discussing with Yuwen Ze, he finally secured a position of Liangdi for Shen Wanru... This position is second only to the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess.

No matter whether she was a concubine or a young lady, she was still a concubine. When Shen Wanru entered the Eastern Palace, there was no grand ceremony. She was carried in from the side door of the Eastern Palace in a pink sedan chair.

In the end, Su couldn't bear it. After all, she was the daughter she had loved for more than ten years. She still asked someone to prepare some dowry items, so that at least Shen Wanru would not look so miserable.

The only person who saw Shen Wanru off was Shen Wanqing. She looked at the pink sedan chair being carried into the East Palace with hatred in her eyes.

Even though the sedan chair had long disappeared, Shen Wanqing still did not leave for a long time. At this moment, her heart was filled with not only hatred but also coldness.

"Miss, let's go back!" Jing'er couldn't help but remind Shen Wanqing when she saw her bad face.

Shen Wanqing nodded and turned back to Qingfeiyuan. She was in a bad mood and didn't eat much dinner before going to bed.

She slept very uneasily. Her consciousness began to gradually become blurred and she was entangled in the dream.

What came into view was a vibrant red, like the fluttering red silk at a wedding, dancing in the wind. But in the blink of an eye, the red that originally symbolized joy suddenly became strange, as if the entire ground was stained with blood.

The plaque of the general's mansion was roughly removed and fell to the ground. A servant was crushed under the fragments. The corners of his mouth were a seductive red, and his eyes were wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.

The gate of the general's mansion was open, and many corpses were lying in the yard. The blood flowing on the ground stung Shen Wanqing's eyes.

There were more than a hundred people in the general's mansion, and no one, young or old, male or female, was spared.

In her previous life, she couldn’t save the General’s Mansion. Can she still not save it this time?

The huge blow hit Shen Wanqing's brain. She walked forward in a trance, with only one thought in her mind, which was to find Du Zhijie.

However, she did not find Du Zhijie, but waited for Shen Wanru.

Shen Wanru held Yu Wenze's token and laughed arrogantly, "Did you see that? I finally wiped out the entire general's mansion. How about it, are you convinced?"

"No, not really!"

Shen Wanqing shouted in disbelief. She didn't believe that such a huge general's mansion would be gone just like that. She didn't believe it. What if she went against the will of heaven!

She was screaming hysterically in her dream, and suddenly everything in front of her eyes disappeared, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

The sky was dark, with a little moonlight shining through. Everything seemed so quiet and beautiful, as if nothing had happened.

Her mind was still a little unclear. Shen Wanqing sat up, raised her head and rubbed it, thinking about the dream she had just had, which was a personal experience in her previous life.

She has now been reborn, and many things are developing in a good direction, but the overall trajectory of her fate is the same as before, as if no matter how she intervenes, it will remain the same as before.

This made her feel a little uncertain, so she stood up and opened the window, hoping to clear her mind.

All the misfortunes in the General's Mansion originated from the Eastern Palace. Shen Wanru was still able to influence the Crown Prince's decisions, so the one who ultimately had to deal with her was not Shen Wanru but the culprit, Crown Prince Yuwen Ze.

As long as Yuwen Ze is no longer the crown prince, he will not ascend to that position, and he will not have the bargaining chips to kill the general's mansion.

Although the current crown prince has been punished for the Huainan corruption incident, as long as the queen is alive, the crown prince's position will be as stable as Mount Tai and will not be shaken.

The emperor has the empress whispering in his ear, and the previous dynasty has Shen Yunlan strategizing. If they want to bring down the prince, they have to disintegrate the forces around him one by one first.

This process is very slow and the effect is not obvious, so someone must share power with the prince and gradually replace the prince's position.

Looking at the entire court, the only person qualified to replace the crown prince is the second prince Yuwen Yi. At least he is the emperor's most beloved son besides the crown prince.
