After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Wu Weiwei's aggrieved expression reminded Lu Hanting of the wonderful times they had spent together, and his face immediately softened.

"I'm not hungry, you can take it!"

He couldn't possibly eat.

The thought that He Yuyan had actually used a "death ruse" to escape from his side made him furious. Seeing that the portrait in his hand was about to be torn apart, Wu Weiwei quickly stepped forward.

"Your Highness, please calm down!"

As Lu Hanting looked at her, he recalled He Yuyan's every smile and frown as she looked at him, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.

His eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed her by the neck. "How dare you betray me!"

"Young Master, I... I'm not Miss Cousin, please, let me go..."

He grabbed Wu Weiwei by the neck and lifted her up, her legs kicking in the air.

She pried his hands off with both hands, while shouting incessantly.

However, Lu Hanting was like a nightmare, unable to distinguish whether she was her or not.

Wu Weiwei felt that if she didn't save herself, she would die at his hands soon.

For the first time, she felt death so close.

She made a mistake. She shouldn't have thought she could save him, and she was foolish enough to take the risk of trying to comfort him.

"Your Highness, He Yuyan deserves to die, she deserves to die... You, you don't love me at all, just strangle me, strangle me!"

Wu Weiwei struggled to say what was on her mind.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hanting, who had been seemingly possessed, gradually regained his senses, and as he became more aware, the pressure in his hands gradually loosened.

"Cough cough..."

Wu Weiwei, who had regained oxygen, was put down by him.

“You are Yan’er, no, you are not her, you are my concubine, you are Wei’er.”

Suddenly, Lu Hanting picked up Wu Weiwei, who was slumped on the ground.

"Well……"

Wu Weiwei, who was being held tightly in his arms, felt like she had struck gold today. She had just experienced a near-death experience and now he was holding her so tightly.

"Your Highness, please, please let me go, I can't breathe."

After her struggle, Lu Hanting finally saw the person in front of him clearly.

“Wei’er, you are Wei’er. You didn’t run away from me. You love me.”

"Yes, Your Highness, I... of course I love you too..."

I love you so much, I almost loved you to death.

After a while of calming him down, Lu Hanting finally regained his composure.

Perhaps it was the alcohol that made him more excited, because he lifted her soft body onto the desk, and the statue of He Yuyan was immediately pressed down by the two of them.

"Your Highness, isn't this inappropriate?"

Wu Weiwei thought he would feel regret, after all, she was his white moonlight.

Unexpectedly, the prince's dark eyes turned cold. "She was able to abandon everything and run away from me. There's no point in keeping this portrait."

The two of them made love in the study in front of He Yuyan's portrait.

He took her again and again until she was exhausted, then he carried Wu Weiwei to the inner room so she could rest.

He casually threw on a coat and walked to the table where the two had just been making love.

Then he saw He Yuyan in the portrait looking at him with a slight frown.

He caressed her red lips, which seemed to be both angry and not angry, and said, "It's you who broke your promise, not me who wronged you."

And even if I don't want you anymore, you can't escape me!

The next day.

When Wu Weiwei got up, the bed next to him was empty.

Not long after, Cuiyun walked in carrying a basin of water with a smile on her face.

"Cuiyun, what good news do you have?"

Cuiyun handed the washcloth, now filled with water, to Wu Weiwei, saying, "Aunt Wu, you're mistaken. I'm just happy for you."

"Oh, what is there for me to be happy about?"

Wu Weiwei was puzzled. The female lead was about to return, so how could she possibly have any happy news?

Seeing that she couldn't understand, Cuiyun kindly reminded her, "Aunt Wu, you've raised her rank again."

"what?"

Wu Weiwei was surprised.

She was promoted?

"Yes, you are now the favored concubine of the Marquis's heir. I'm afraid your good fortune is yet to come!"

A concubine—that's something even ordinary concubines in the inner courtyard could only dream of.

In less than a month, Aunt Wu was promoted twice, proving that her judgment of people was indeed excellent.

"Yes, thank you, Cuiyun."

She nearly lost her life yesterday, and he feels guilty and is trying to make it up to her.

Regardless, she secured the position of a favored concubine.

Wu Weiwei was in a good mood and ordered Wanqiu to take out one hundred taels of silver from her private savings. All the servants in the Qingsong Courtyard received the reward money she distributed.

Three days later.

Zhou Zhixue from the Ministry of Revenue came to our door seeking our help.

“Your Highness, as you said, I had someone specifically check the household registration records in Tongzhou, but I did not find the person named He Yuyan that you mentioned.”

"No?" Lu Hanting's gaze was deep.

"No."

Stared at by Lu Hanting's eagle-like eyes, Zhou Zhixue answered tremblingly.

Lu Hanting, sitting at the head of the table, had a sharp gaze.

Impossible. Although the scholar named Jiang Yang did not become the top scholar, he was demoted by the emperor to a county official in Tongzhou.

She has no hometown, and she has no Tongzhou, so where else could she escape to?

Unless, she changed her name?

“Zhou Zhixue, immediately send people to order all the prefectures to draw portraits of these newly registered citizens and submit them. I don’t believe she can escape.”

"Yes."

Even though this request was against the rules, Zhou Zhixue had no choice but to comply.

After Zhou Zhixue left, Lu Hanting ordered Liu Yun to move all the booklets to the study, as he wanted to select them one by one.

Speaking of booklets, he remembered that the Tongzhou booklet's coding seemed wrong in the booklet that Rufeng had brought over last time. He remembered that Wu Weiwei had helped organize it back then...

In the study, Liu Yun was helping the Crown Prince proofread the household registers when Wu Weiwei knocked on the door and came in.

"Liu Yun, what are you looking for?"

Looking up, Liu Yun saw Wu Weiwei and said politely:

“Aunt Wu, I’m helping the young master proofread the booklet’s codes. What brings you here?”

"I heard that the young master has been so busy these past few days that he hasn't had time to eat, so I specially prepared a meal for him and sent it over..."

Wu Weiwei heard that the Crown Prince had been having people from the Ministry of Revenue help him find people these past few days, and had even gone to great lengths to have portraits of newly registered citizens drawn and registered in various prefectures.

She knew that Lu Hanting was just saying it, but he hadn't given up on the female lead in his heart.

Hmph, she's still my unattainable love in the end; it would be a lie to say I don't care.

A proud and arrogant man like Lu Hanting would rather betray the world than let the world betray him.

Therefore, he will not allow the female lead to live a happy life with another man.

Thinking of the booklet she was carrying, Wu Weiwei said politely, "Liuyun, I learned to make some delicious desserts from Sister Chen in the kitchen."

I'll watch over things here for you. Go and have some pastries with them!

Liu Yun was surprised.

Is there a share for him?

Unexpectedly, Aunt Wu not only treated their young master well, but also brought benefits to them, her subordinates.

He looked at the work at hand, a troubled expression on his face: "Aunt Wu, but the young master just instructed me..."

"It's okay, I'll help you tidy up first."

This is perfect for her to operate.

Liu Yun looked at her, thinking that Wu Yiniang was usually free to come and go in the young master's study, so she wasn't worried that she would do anything else.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Aunt Wu!"

Wu Weiwei smiled at him and said, "Go ahead!"

After Liu Yun left, Wu Weiwei took out the booklet from her arms.

Just as she found the page number between the two books, she was about to insert the book she was holding into it.

A deep voice suddenly rang in my ears: "What are you doing here?"
