The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

This woman is truly remarkable. Although her plan is simple, it kills two birds with one stone. No matter how things change, it will only benefit the overall situation.

"In that case, let's do as you say!"

Wang Xiangshu shook his head helplessly. What could he do now that things had come to this? They had no way out.

If the Ninth Prince were to absorb all the forces, the Crown Prince's side would be completely defeated, so they had to take a gamble!

"Lord Lü, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Inside the private room of the restaurant, Liang Hui looked at Minister Lü with a faint smile on her lips. She had changed her clothes.

She looked extremely alluring and seductive; any man would find himself taking a second look at her.

However, Vice Minister Lü's reaction was somewhat abnormal.

Who are you? Do we know each other?

When Minister Lü saw Liang Hui, he showed a wary look on his face. Liang Hui sneered inwardly, "What are you pretending for in front of me?"

But this is no problem for her; what she is doing now concerns the fate of many people.

"Lord Lü, are you perhaps forgetful? Then let me remind you a few more times, Lord Lü. I am His Highness the Crown Prince's man."

A faint smile appeared on Liang Hui's lips. Upon hearing the Crown Prince's name, Vice Minister Lü's expression became extremely complicated.

Liang Hui then spoke again, saying, "Lord Lü, there's no need to be so nervous. Since we're sitting here today, it must be because we have something important to tell you. Don't you want to know something about the Ninth Prince?"

Upon hearing the words "Ninth Prince," Vice Minister Lü's expression finally changed.

Seeing his nervous expression, Liang Hui gave a cold laugh. Just as she had guessed, this Minister Lü was an opportunist who changed his tune with the wind. Now that the Crown Prince was in trouble, he was actually trying to curry favor with the Ninth Prince.

However, Liang Hui did not reveal this, since she had come today to sow discord among them.

"Now that Lord Lü is here, I'll get straight to the point."

Liang Hui looked at Minister Lü with a smile, her expression completely natural.

"The Ninth Prince has hidden quite a few things in Liangzhou. If Lord Lü can get his hands on them, his future will be limitless!"

As soon as Liang Hui finished speaking, Vice Minister Lü's expression became extremely complicated. He knew that the Ninth Prince had something in his hands.

Moreover, he had been trying to find out more before, but Liang Hui's words now filled him with vigilance.

"What do you want?"

Vice Minister Lü stared coldly at Liang Hui, who showed no fear whatsoever, but rather a faint smile.

"To be honest, we have quite a few entanglements with the Ninth Prince, but we still need what he has."

Vice Minister Lü snorted coldly, "What the Ninth Prince has in his possession is none of your business."

Although Liang Hui had made her point very clear, there was still no trace of trust on Vice Minister Lü's face.

Seeing the other person's expression, Liang Hui shook her head helplessly.

He then said, "Since that's the case, I won't say any more. Lord Lü, you can come to me anytime you've made up your mind!"

After saying this, Liang Hui got up and left.

Minister Lü stood in the private room, his eyes fixed on the food and wine on the table, his mind in turmoil.

He naturally knew that the Ninth Prince had something in Liangzhou, but now the Crown Prince's side was already in a losing position. Liang Hui's words sounded nice, but in reality, he was just making empty promises to himself.

Although Vice Minister Lü had already been convinced by Liang Hui's words, he could not act rashly now.

After all, the Ninth Prince held a high position in Emperor Liang's heart. If the emperor found out that he had conspired with others to plot against him, he might lose his head.

However, a ruthless glint quickly flashed in Vice Minister Lü's eyes. Since the Ninth Prince had something, he would find a way to get it.

Thinking of this, Vice Minister Lü's face darkened, while Liang Hui returned to the Crown Prince's side. Upon seeing her return, a smile appeared on the Crown Prince's face.

"How about it?"

Looking at Liang Hui, the Crown Prince asked directly, and a faint smile appeared on the other's face.

“This Vice Minister Lü is even more timid than we imagined. I’m afraid he’s already a frightened bird even before we take any action.”

Upon hearing Liang Hui's words, the Crown Prince nodded. It seemed they had underestimated the Ninth Prince.

"Since Vice Minister Lü is so, let this opportunist scout ahead first."

……

Inside the palace, Yang Ling felt somewhat apprehensive.

He never expected that Emperor Liang would keep him in the palace and not want him to leave even for a moment.

"Your Highness, please make do with staying here for the time being."

The eunuch standing in front of Yang Ling had a flattering look on his face. He pointed to the side hall not far away. In the original owner's memory, wasn't this the place where the original owner's mother used to be? Emperor Liang's thoughts were indeed deeper than those of ordinary people.

This was definitely done on purpose.

"Alright, I understand. If you have nothing else to do, you may leave. I do not need anyone to serve me."

Yang Ling said coldly, then left without looking back.

Pushing open the door to the main hall, a chilling aura rushed out.

There was no one in the palace, only walls covered with calligraphy and paintings.

Yang Ling looked at the calligraphy and paintings and smiled slightly. As expected, it was just as she had imagined.

The woman in the painting is the original owner's mother, the former Consort Ning.

However, the other party had no background in the harem and died young.

After the original owner's mother passed away, no one in the entire palace ever mentioned Consort Ning again, and the palace was also neglected.

Yang Ling stepped into the inner hall, where there was a bed with a futon on it, and nothing else.

Looking at everything here, Yang Ling frowned slightly. This place seemed to have been specially cleaned up.

"oops!"

As Yang Ling was pondering, a shout came from outside the door, and then a palace maid walked in.

Upon seeing Yang Ling, the other person's face lit up with surprise and delight.

"Your Highness, you're finally back!"

Looking at the familiar face of the palace maid, Yang Ling frowned slightly, but he quickly remembered that it was Lan Fang, who had grown up with the original owner of the body.

When the other person walked up to her, a faint fragrance wafted towards her. Looking at the other person's barely concealed jade-like body, Yang Ling's eyes flickered slightly. Sure enough, the palace maids of ancient times were all incredibly beautiful.

Compared to Liang Hui before her, Lan Fang is no less impressive.
