After hearing this, Jinse frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, but there are His Majesty's personal guards over there, and they won't let anyone in..."

Concubine Jia said confidently, "Don't be afraid! There is a confidant of mine among that group of people. He will find a way to help me get the message in! In the beginning, in order to get the whereabouts of the emperor in time, I spent a lot of effort to win him over... It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to use it. Now it is finally time for him to report back to me!"

As they spoke, the two of them walked towards Yunxi Palace...

After arriving at the palace gate, Jinse knocked on the door and said to the guard who opened the door: "The Queen has something to say to your leader Kang Qiyuan, please ask him to come out!"

The guard turned and went back without saying a word.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his thirties came out and said, "Madam, what do you want?"

Concubine Jia smiled and said, "What can I ask you to do? I just want you to give this basket of snacks to the princess! I heard from Aunt Yuyu a few days ago that Princess Wanwan likes to eat rose lard-filled pastries the most, so I asked the imperial kitchen to make some and send them over! Please give it to the princess..."

Kang Qiyuan didn't ask anything, took the basket, nodded, then turned and went in.

When he arrived at the hall, Miao Wanwan was sitting on a chair, staring at the sun outside in a daze. It was unknown what she was thinking...

Kang Qiyuan came over, knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Princess, this is sent to you by Concubine Jia from Yuhua Palace."

Miao Wanwan, who had originally looked dazed, couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and asked in confusion, "Jia Fei? Which Jia Fei?"

Kang Qiyuan said: "The biological mother of the Third Prince, Concubine Jia."

After hearing this, Miao Wanwan became even more confused: "Why did she think of sending me something?"

"The queen said you like to eat lard rose pastry, so she asked the imperial kitchen to make a plate for you..."

"Okay, put it here, you go down!"

"Yes!"

After Kang Qiyuan turned around and left, Miao Wanwan opened the lid of the basket and took a look. She found a pastry with a rose pattern on it. It was bigger than the others. It was obvious that there was something strange inside!

She picked up the pastry and gently pinched it, and immediately a sweet aroma of lard roses came to her face! And there was a note in the filling...

Miao Wanwan was excited when she saw this! She immediately opened the note and saw that it said: I know a secret about Dai Qinglin...

Miao Wanwan raised her head, an excited look on her face...

Three days later, Yuhua Palace.

Concubine Jia was lying on a chaise longue leisurely. Jinse was beside her, gently waving a round fan and frowning as she asked, "Your Highness, why hasn't the princess contacted us yet?"

Concubine Jia held her chin with one hand, smiled faintly, and said confidently: "Don't worry! She will definitely be interested!"

Jinse was surprised and asked, "Ah? How did you know?"

Concubine Jia said calmly: "I have already inquired about it. She had a feud with the grandmother of that little village girl thirty years ago. After hearing that I know her secret, she will definitely come to cooperate with me..."

Jinse's eyes widened as she asked, "Really? Then should we go to Yunxi Palace again?"

Concubine Jia said with great confidence: "No need! Just wait for her to come find us!"

Jinse said worriedly: "But she can't leave the palace, how can she come to find us..."

Before she finished her words, a eunuch came over and said, "Empress Jiafei, someone from Yunxi Palace just sent a message saying that the princess wants you to send some more pastries over, and specifically asked you to deliver them to the palace in person!"

Concubine Jia leaned forward and sat up, smiling, "Thank you for delivering the message, eunuch! I'll ask the imperial kitchen to make some more and send it over personally! Thank you for your help, eunuch!"

Jinse stepped forward and quietly handed the eunuch a small silver coin, saying, "Take this and have a cup of tea, eunuch!"

The eunuch said with great joy: "Thank you, Madam!"

Concubine Jia continued: "I hope that the eunuch will keep this matter secret..."

The eunuch immediately understood and said, "I know! I know! I know nothing!"

Concubine Jia smiled and said, "That's good! Jinse, give this eunuch some tea money!"

"Yes!"

Jinse took out another small gold ingot and placed it in the eunuch's hand, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch!"

"Thank you for the reward, Madam!"

The eunuch walked away with a smile on his face.

Jinse showed a look of great admiration and said to Concubine Jia: "Your Majesty is indeed as good as a god!"

Concubine Jia took a sip of tea nonchalantly and said, "Send someone to tell Jin Ling'er to find a way to trick that little country girl into the palace!"

"Yes! I'll send someone to pass on the message right away!"

The next day.

Before daybreak, two figures quietly appeared at the gate of Yunxi Palace.

It was none other than Concubine Jia and her trusted palace maid Jinse.

Jinse walked forward and knocked gently on the door.

After a while, the door opened and a guard yawned and leaned over with an impatient look on his face and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jinse didn't say anything, she just handed over a silver ingot and said, "Let Lord Kang come out for a moment!"

The guard weighed the ingot, turned around and went in without saying a word.

After a while, the door opened again. Kang Qiyuan poked his head out and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please come in!"

Concubine Jia walked in and the door closed again immediately.

When they reached the steps in front of the palace, Concubine Jia turned to Jinse and said, "Wait for me here, you don't have to go in."

Jinse nodded: "I know!"

Concubine Jia walked into the palace...

After entering, it took her eyes a while to adjust. The hall was very dark, with only a faint candlelight. The tired and elderly Miao Wanwan curled up on the couch, looking up and down at Concubine Jia, and asked coldly, "Is that the note you passed to me?"

Concubine Jia whispered, "Yes!"

Miao Wanwan asked again: "Then how do you know about the grudge between me and Dai Qinglin?"

Concubine Jia smiled gently and said calmly: "Not only do I know that you don't get along with her, but I also know that she has a granddaughter who is now living away from home..."

"What!" Miao Wanwan couldn't help but shudder after hearing this, and immediately asked in shock, "Are you serious?"

Concubine Jia said with certainty: "Absolutely serious!"

Miao Wanwan looked at her with doubtful eyes and asked, "Then how did you know?"

Concubine Jia took off her black cloak and whispered, "That girl looks exactly like her grandmother! After Concubine Rong saw her, she wanted to kill her! After the emperor saw her, he took great care of her! Everyone who knew her grandmother was terrified after seeing this girl... At first I was very puzzled and didn't understand why! Until that day when I heard someone say the reason in person, I suddenly realized that it was because of this reason..."

When Miao Wanwan heard this, she immediately raised her head, stared at her with her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Can you bring that girl to the palace and let me deal with her?"

Concubine Jia pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, how can this be possible? Princess, what do you want to do?"

Miao Wanwan smiled sinisterly and said in a very contemptuous tone: "The reason why you tried to tell me this news was to negotiate terms with me! Now that I have agreed to cooperate with you, you can tell me your requirements..."

Concubine Jia praised: "The princess is really straightforward! Well, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore..."

Miao Wanwan said softly: "Tell me! You want to know something from me..."

Concubine Jia whispered, "I want to know the whereabouts of something!"
