Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyes and looked at Sheng Lin: "Father, you don't want a second sister like this to enter the palace, right? But the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. The best way is to find someone to pretend to be the second sister."
Seeing Sheng Lin's eyes suddenly light up, Sheng Nanzhi knew that she had guessed Sheng Lin's plan again.
"But my daughter feels that this kind of thing, using someone else as a substitute, is not advisable."
Sheng Lin immediately frowned.
Sheng Nanzhi pretended not to notice and continued, "Father, think about it, why did His Majesty go to such great lengths to get the second sister?"
Although she asked the question, she didn't want to get an answer from Sheng Lin. She just continued to talk: "Because the second sister is the Phoenix Lord of Heaven."
"The Phoenix Lord of Heaven can only marry the True Dragon Emperor."
"You can only enter the palace."
"Father and Mother were on the wrong track before. You wanted her to marry the prince, but Your Majesty is young and strong. How could you allow your son to marry the Phoenix Master of Heaven's Destiny?"
"Second sister has been repeatedly frustrated in her marriage, and finally only has one way left, entering the palace. This clearly reflects His Majesty's attitude."
"So, the person entering the palace must be the second sister, and it can only be her."
"No matter what happens to her, whether she's crazy, mad, or stupid, Your Majesty won't care. What Your Majesty wants is her identity as the Phoenix Lord of Heaven, not her as a person. This is something that no one else can replace, no matter what."
"If Daddy lets someone else enter the palace in my second sister's place..."
Sheng Nanzhi smiled and said, "But others are not the Phoenix Lord of Heaven. Some things cannot be replaced. If something goes wrong with His Majesty's kingdom, and his throne is coveted and shaken, what do you think His Majesty will think?"
Sheng Lin had never thought about these things. He was just afraid that Sheng Yunrou would enter the palace like this and say something she shouldn't say, thus angering the emperor.
"Your Majesty will definitely check the authenticity of Second Sister. He might even check it as soon as he enters the palace."
"If any clues were discovered, the entire Sheng family would probably be overthrown."
"The second sister doesn't have a twin sister. No matter what, the others will look different from her. To replace her, we can only disguise ourselves."
"But disguise is precisely the easiest to be discovered."
Sheng Lin's mind raced, and he had to admit that Sheng Nanzhi's words did make some sense.
His Majesty wanted Sheng Yunrou, most likely because of her identity as the Phoenix Lord of Heaven.
If that's the reason, then no one else can replace her.
but……
Sheng Lin glanced into the room, but Sheng Yunrou went crazy at this moment.
Sheng Nanzhi guessed what Sheng Lin was thinking just by looking at his reaction.
She lowered her eyes and smiled: "Daddy, can I see my second sister alone?"
"I'm also a woman, and I'm the same age as her. I think I might know what she's thinking, and I want to talk to her."
Sheng Lin gritted his teeth, thinking that he had no choice but to try his luck.
"Okay, you go."
When Sheng Nanzhi entered the house, she found that Sheng Yunrou's house was even messier than she had imagined.
The floor was littered with broken cups, bowls, plates, and torn clothes. Sheng Yunrou was tied to the bed, her hair disheveled and a rag stuffed in her mouth. She looked extremely miserable.
Sheng Nanzhi's gaze fell on Sheng Yunrou's face. Even though she knew that a new soul had been inside this body, she still couldn't help but feel hatred when she saw this face.
Although Sheng Yunrou had hooked up with Wen Tingyun in her previous life, when he attacked her, Wen Tingyun had not come to her room for a long time.
Her feelings for Wen Tingyun had almost faded away.
The only thing left was her determination to support Wen Tingyun to become the emperor, to be second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and to reach the pinnacle of her life. This determination kept her moving forward.
She even thought that if Wen Tingyun was really disobedient, she could find ways to control Wen Tingyun and manipulate the government after he ascended the throne.
At that time, she was about to succeed.
The emperor was seriously ill and had almost lost consciousness.
The political situation is now under her control.
But at this moment, she was tricked by Sheng Yunrou.
It was as if she was climbing a very high staircase, and soon, she was only one step away from reaching the last step.
But suddenly... he was kicked down.
How could she not hate him!
There was a maid guarding the room. She looked unfamiliar and must have been sent by Sheng Lin. When she heard Sheng Nanzhi's footsteps, the maid turned her head and looked at Sheng Nanzhi with sharp eyes.
Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes: "Daddy asked me to come and talk to my second sister alone."
The maid nodded, stood up silently and walked out.
When Sheng Yunrou saw her, she immediately began to twist her body and struggle.
Sheng Nanzhi took two steps forward, but did not immediately remove the cloth from her mouth.
He just lowered his voice and said, "Sister, I just heard you shouting in the house."
"Sister, are you... traveling from another world?"
Sheng Yunrou widened her eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
Sheng Nanzhi made a silent gesture and whispered, "Actually, me too."
"But I probably traveled through time a few years earlier than you."
Sheng Nanzhi said softly: "Sister, you just arrived, I'm afraid you don't know that this world is completely different from our original world."
"At first, I struggled just like you, wanting to make a name for myself in this world. But later on, I realized it was too difficult, so I just went with the flow and hid my identity."
"Because here, human life is worthless."
"In fact, Daddy's appointment as Prime Minister is already quite impressive."
"But above the Prime Minister, there is the Emperor. You have had a relationship with the Emperor. If you don't enter the palace, you will die."
Sheng Nanzhi tilted his head: "Besides, he might die in an ugly way."
"You are the Phoenix Lord of Heaven. The Emperor might skin you alive and turn you into a human pig. He'll place you in the palace to protect his throne."
Sheng Yunrou widened her eyes, with some fear in them.
If someone else said these words, she would only think it was a threat.
But if it was said by Sheng Nanzhi, who Sheng Yunrou thought had also traveled through time, it seemed to add a bit of credibility.
Sheng Nanzhi sighed.
"Daddy won't help you, because he is the Prime Minister and a minister, and he only obeys the emperor's orders."
"Sister, I think if you keep making such a fuss, you'll probably die soon."
"We can't go back." Sheng Nanzhi pretended to be serious: "Because we died over there, we traveled through time."
"It's been so many years, and I can't go back."
"Even if you die, you can't go back."
"Why not, obey first."
Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes and sighed: "Although the emperor is a little old, he is only in his forties, so he is not old."
"But he is the supreme being here."
"Here, if you want to survive, if you want to live well, you have to find ways to climb up."
“The higher you climb, the better your life will be.”
"You are the Phoenix Lord of Heaven. If you enter the palace and want the position of empress, it will be too easy."
