Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Wanyu shook her head, "I don't know him, and neither does my mother."

"But when he introduced himself, he said he was a descendant of the Hesheli clan."

"My name is Hesheli Huang Cheng."

Wanlin was puzzled, "Hesheli Huang Cheng?"

It's no wonder she was confused. In her previous life, she had been married to the prince for decades, so she knew exactly who was in the prince's mother's family.

But she had never heard of such a person.

Wanyu: "Yes! He said his family lives in Shengjing and is just a branch of the Hesheli family, so it's normal that you don't know."

"Shengjing?"

She didn't say she knew every member of the Hesheli clan, even those in Shengjing, but after a little thought, she was sure that she had no idea whether there was a person named Huang Cheng.

However, although she was confused, Shi Wanlin did not continue to ask questions about this topic.

"Perhaps it was my rebirth that caused all this to happen."

Looking at her pretty cousin sitting in front of her, Wanlin's worries and anxieties were completely gone.

She was born only one year earlier than her cousin, and they were of similar age, both were legitimate daughters, and grew up together, so they had a very good relationship. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were sisters from the same mother.

In the previous life, my cousin passed away, and not only my second aunt was sad, but everyone in the house was also heartbroken.

She was so sad that she lost a lot of weight, but it was because the election was coming and she had to cheer up for the sake of her family.

It’s great that my cousin is still doing well in this life!

Shi Wanlin took her cousin's hand and said with concern.

"After such a big incident, you must be careful in the future and don't be so impulsive."

"If there's anything you need, let the maids and nannies around you handle it. Don't try to be too ambitious yourself."

Wanyu nodded obediently, "I understand, second sister."

Wanlin asked distressedly, "Are you still scared now? Remember to take a tranquilizer before going to bed tonight, otherwise you might have a nightmare."

Wanyu shook her head at first, "I was scared before, but I'm not scared anymore."

Then he continued with some resistance: "As for tranquilizers, there's no need for them. Anyway, I feel much better now and I shouldn't have nightmares."

Wanlin said angrily, "You have always resisted taking medicine since you were a child."

Wanyu flattered him, "It's too bitter. I can't stand the taste."

"Also, medicine is three-part poison, so it's better to drink as little as possible."

Wanlin nodded after thinking for a moment, "What you said makes sense."

"If you're afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, have the maid light a stick of calming incense for you. It will help you sleep well."

"I understand, second sister. Thank you, second sister."

Wanyu stayed with Wanlin and talked to her in her boudoir for a while.

After Wanyu left, Wanlin began to think about her own affairs.

In her previous life, she was a princess consort for her entire life. Her husband and wife were not on good terms, and her family was worried. Even Mafa and her father passed away within a few years.

As the legitimate daughter of the deposed crown prince, I am afraid that even if it were his own daughter, she would not have a good ending.

Shi Wanlin clutched the quilt covering her body tightly.

'no! '

"I can't go back to the same old path as in my previous life!"

"Since my cousin can survive in this life, I should be able to change my own fate!"

Shi Wanlin thought about the harem in her previous life. Ever since the crown prince was deposed for the second time, the Eighth Prince's party had experienced ups and downs, and was eventually completely suppressed by the emperor.

The only ones who still have the strength to compete are the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince under the name of Concubine De.

It's funny to say that a palace concubine who was born a bondservant could reach the highest position in the harem by virtue of her offspring.

If you want to change the fate of yourself and your family, you can no longer get on the prince's boat.

And since you already have a prophet, why not give it another try?

Anyway, no matter how bad it gets, it can’t be as bad as the ending in the previous life!

After confirming her idea, Wanlin began to analyze the pros and cons of the two people.

If we compare them carefully, the Fourth Prince has more advantages than the Fourteenth Prince.

Although Concubine De loves Fourteenth Prince more, in order to prevent external relatives from interfering in politics, the Emperor may also be wary of the motherly relationship between Concubine De and Fourteenth Prince.

Especially since Defei's background was not very glorious.

Although the Fourth Prince was also born to Concubine De, he had an advantage that no one else had.

The Fourth Prince was raised by Empress Xiaoyi Ren since childhood, and the Empress's adopted son has the status of half a legitimate son.

What's more, although there is a saying in the palace that a mother's status depends on her son, there is also a saying that a son's status depends on his mother!

The Queen's adopted son is more prestigious and sounds better than the heir who was raised by a slave, right?

In addition, the Fourth Prince has offended many ministers in the court. When the Emperor is unwilling to delegate power, the Emperor should feel more at ease using him.

In every aspect, the Fourth Prince has advantages over the Fourteenth Prince.

Even if the Fourth Prince fails, the Fourteenth Prince will eventually take the throne.

As a brother born of the same mother, the Fourth Prince's ending should not be much different.

The most important thing is that there is a huge age gap between her and the Fourteenth Prince. He is only four years old now, and it is absolutely impossible for her to enter the Fourteenth Prince's backyard.

He is the same age as the fourth prince Yinzhen.

Moreover, in the previous life, the fourth son had only one legitimate son, who died at the age of eight.

Fujin's father, Feyanggu, also died within a few years. Since then, the Unalana lineage began to decline, so Fujin's lineage was not a big threat.
