Cangzhi doesn't have many complicated experiences. She is just a princess of the underworld who grew up being spoiled and knows nothing about power struggles and intrigues.

He followed the elders of their Qiongqi clan all day long to learn the magic and etiquette of the underworld, and was occasionally taken by Cangyuan to attend some important banquets.

But most of the time, she spent her time in her own bedroom, accompanied by books and music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

She is arrogant and a little willful, but kind and pure in her heart. Her world was originally simple and beautiful until she was drawn into the vortex of this conspiracy.

More importantly, Cangzhi and Ximen Qing were not familiar with each other. Although the two were married between aristocratic families, they did not have much in common with each other.

In her eyes, Ximen Qing was just a young man from an aristocratic family with a cold temperament and extraordinary abilities. She didn't have much affection for him, but she didn't hate him either.

Li Wanji continued to investigate further, trying to find useful information.

She discovered that Cangzhi had a deep understanding of the family's magic and knew the layout and mechanisms of the entire Youdu Mountain Palace. This information was undoubtedly a valuable asset to Li Wanji.

A gleam of light flashed in Li Wanji's eyes, and she began to gradually understand and imitate Cangzhi's thinking patterns and behaviors.

She not only learned Cangzhi's magic, but also gained a deep understanding of her living habits, interests and hobbies, and her attitude towards people around her.

As time passed, Li Wanji seemed to have turned into a real underworld princess. Her every word and action was full of the temperament of a princess from the underworld.

When Li Wanji finally pulled herself out of Cangzhi's memory, her demeanor had become identical to Cangzhi's, even the stubbornness and innocence in her eyes were imitated vividly.

She patted Cangzhi's face gently to make sure she was still asleep, then stood up and straightened her dress.

Li Wanji took a deep breath, as if she had taken over Cangzhi's soul, and could no longer find any flaws.

She knew that from now on, she would walk the world as Cangzhi, not only having to face the scrutiny of high-ranking officials in the underworld such as Ximen Qing, but also having to deal with threats and challenges from all sides.

When Li Wanji walked out of the prison, the guarding disciples of the Shenxiao Sect (Ye Wushang's fellow apprentices) were visibly stunned when they saw her and were about to step forward to stop her.

Li Wanji immediately transformed into her own appearance and ordered: "Treat the captives well. They will be our bargaining chips in the future negotiations with Youdu Mountain. Keep an eye on them and don't let them commit suicide."

When the disciples of the Divine Sky Sect saw that it was Li Wanji himself, they immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Master Li."

Judging from the guard's reaction just now, she has played the role of Cang Zhi to perfection. However, if she were facing someone like Cang Yuan who is familiar with Cang Zhi, she would probably need to be more cautious.

Huanli did not ring the voice transmission bell. She thought that Ximen Qing must have been entangled by someone at the banquet and would not be back in a short time.

She quickly returned to the bridal room, adjusted her wedding dress in front of the mirror, and carefully checked her makeup to make sure every detail was flawless.

Cang Zhi is the princess of the underworld, and Ximen Qing is the son of the Ghost King. The two families are getting married, so it stands to reason that Ximen Qing should marry into the Princess's mansion in Youdu Mountain.

But now the Ximen family controls the top-grade spiritual mine, and most of the troops output by Youdu Mountain against the Wangchuan Alliance come from here. Therefore, this marriage is mainly based on the Ximen family, and the wedding is held in the Ximen Mansion.

In the bridal chamber, the red candle flickered, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing. Li Wanji sat by the bed, but her mind was clear.

She waited for another two hours, but Ximen Qing still hadn't returned. However, the entire Ximen Mansion gradually became lively. The guests began to leave one after another, and the servants began to busy themselves cleaning up the aftermath of the banquet.

Li Wanji knew that this was the best time. She stood up, gently opened the door, and walked out of the bridal chamber.

Servants were busily moving about in the corridor, but when they saw her they all stopped and saluted respectfully.

At this moment, Li Wanji should have been waiting for Ximen Qing to return in the bridal chamber, but she chose to take the initiative.

After all, she was the princess of the underworld, so even if she didn't stay in the bridal chamber properly, these servants wouldn't say anything easily.

She nodded slightly, walked calmly across the corridor, and went towards Ximen Qing's study.

She knew that in order to control the entire situation, she had to first grasp Ximen Qing's movements and plans. And the study was often the most private place for the owner, and the place where clues were most likely to be left.

The door of the study was gently pushed open, and a faint scent of ink wafted into the air.

Li Wanji glanced around the room and saw that the bookshelves were filled with various books and scrolls, and there were several unfinished documents and a map scattered on the table.

She walked to the table and her eyes lingered on the map for a moment. The map marked the terrain and military deployment of various places in Fengquan. It was obviously carefully drawn by Ximen Qing to guard against the invasion of the Wangchuan League.

Li Wanji's mind moved, and she quickly and skillfully used the rubbing technique to copy the information on the map and hid it in her sleeve.

Then, he carefully examined the other documents and scrolls on the table, trying to find more useful information.

However, to her disappointment, most of these documents were daily chores and official records, and did not contain much personal information about Ximen Qing.

Li Wanji was not discouraged. She knew that it would take more time and patience to find a feasible way to enter the top-grade spiritual mine. She decided to leave the study temporarily to look for other possible clues.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard hurried footsteps outside the door. Her heart tightened and she quickly hid behind the bookshelf. After a while, the door was pushed open and a figure walked in.

That person was Ximen Qing. He had obviously drunk a lot of wine, and his steps were a little unsteady. He walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it all. Then, he sat at the table and began to look through the documents on the table.

Li Wanji held her breath and carefully observed Ximen Qing's every move.

She discovered that when Ximen Qing was flipping through the documents, his eyes would often linger on a secret letter, which was placed in an exquisite jade box and was obviously something extremely important.

Li Wanji's heart moved. She knew that the secret letter might contain Ximen Qing's secrets and plans. She decided to take a risk and see if she could find more clues from it.

She carefully slipped out from behind the bookshelf and quietly approached Ximen Qing. However, just as she was about to touch the secret letter, Ximen Qing suddenly raised his head and shot a lightning-like gaze at her.

"Who?" Ximen Qing's voice was cold and harsh, full of murderous intent.

Li Wanji was startled, but she did not back down. She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked directly into Ximen Qing's eyes.

"It's me. I came to look for you." She said calmly, "Qing, if I hadn't come, would you have planned to sleep in the study tonight?"
