Under the moonlight, Liu Banruo slowly stood up straight. Her eyes were as calm as the lake, and she disappeared from her sight as Yi Han's gradually receding figure.

To her, that group of people were not just ordinary people, but chess pieces in her hands. Although their status could not be compared with that of Liu Fei, their value could not be ignored.

She walked out slowly, and every step seemed to be carefully calculated. Her leisurely pace, her elegant demeanor, and her originally dignified and majestic face made her look like a real royal lady in the eyes of the servants in Wu'an Marquis's Mansion.

They came forward one after another and saluted respectfully, as if even the air had become solemn in her presence.

Liu Prajna raised her chin slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

This was the first time she truly felt the glory of being an emperor's consort.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she was secretly glad that she had finally taken this important step.

She stood by the lake, letting the cold wind blow on her cheeks, but she was thinking about the next step of the game in her mind.

After entering the palace, the emperor would definitely ask about the source of the letter and why she had not handed it in yet.

She decided to make some fuss about this matter and hint to the emperor that Xiao Yunxi was not a trustworthy person, so she did not hand the letter to her.

As for why she chose to hand it over to Yi Han later, it was because during the days in Wu'an Marquis Mansion, she secretly observed and found that Yi Han was a trustworthy person.

This operation not only promoted Yi Han, but also laid the foundation for her future cooperation.

She always believed that Mu Yihan was an ambitious person. An ambitious person would never be content with mediocrity. He would definitely show more outstanding talents in the future.

However, when the decree to make her a princess came quietly at night, she felt uneasy.

The news came too suddenly, and people outside probably know nothing about it yet.

If at tomorrow's morning court, the emperor has not yet ordered an investigation into the traitors, but the ministers all submit petitions requesting that she be made a concubine, wouldn't that make the emperor suspicious?

She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't find a suitable strategy to deal with this situation.

However, as time went on, her anxiety gradually dissipated.

She believed that the end of those traitors was not far away, and perhaps they would be thrown into prison before dawn.

At this time, Yi Han was climbing over the wall to enter Yun Xi's Osmanthus Hall.

He carefully avoided Aunt Qingyang's sight and sneaked into Yunxi's room.

Yun Xi was extremely alert, and when she noticed someone sneaking in, she immediately stabbed out with her soft sword. Yi Han was quick-witted and used his metal hand to block the soft sword, and whispered, "It's me!"

Yun Xi looked carefully and saw that it was Yi Han. She couldn't help but feel a little amused. "Why did you come here so secretly?" she asked.

Yi Han explained: "I just came to talk to you for a few words and then leave, so as not to alarm others."

Yun Xi smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry too much about your aunt."

"It's not that I care, it's a custom." Yi Han scratched his head, "Anyway, it's our first marriage and we don't understand these things, so it's right to listen to the elders."

"Then why did you come?" Yun Xi scolded with a smile.

"Hush! Keep your voice down!" Yi Han pulled her to sit down, "Let me tell you something. The Emperor has issued an edict to confer the title of Consort Liu Banruo. But the Emperor and the Empress Dowager have no intention of investigating those traitors."

"No investigation?" Yun Xi asked in surprise, "Why?"

Yi Han sighed and relayed the words of the Empress Dowager to Yun Xi. "The Empress Dowager said that there are two reasons why they were not killed, and one of them is because of me."

"For you?" Yun Xi was even more surprised. "What is your relationship with these traitors? Moreover, you collected all this evidence and submitted it to the emperor. If the queen mother doesn't kill them or depose them from their posts, won't that make them hate you?"

Yi Han shook his head. "I don't understand why either. The Queen Mother asked me to stay in the Imperial Study after the morning court tomorrow. She should be able to tell me the reason then."

Yun Xi nodded, "Okay, go find me at my grandfather's place after you leave the palace tomorrow. Don't be sneaky anymore."

Yi Han smiled embarrassedly.

Yun Xi stared at him. His eyes were clear and bright, with a pair of extremely charming big eyes and long eyelashes like butterfly wings.

Although she had met countless men, no one could compare to him.

These eyes were of just the right size, flashing with a momentary light, as if they were the windows to his soul.

The scent of sandalwood emanating from his body floated in the wind, and his eyes sparkled in the candlelight, making Yun Xi obsessed.
