The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Yan Muxi smiled, her eyebrows curved and her smile was pure, "Big sister, you have to show enough sincerity first, then I can decide whether to get on the same boat with you."

Yan Muqing also smiled. Her second sister, who was a tough guy, would always take the upper hand. However, she didn't care who had the upper hand, as long as her goal was achieved.

"Father will soon become the Minister of Personnel, and then he will enter the cabinet and become the first Prime Minister of the Dafeng Dynasty. Later, he will join Prince Rui and help him seize the throne."

Yan Muxi was shocked. "So, the one who finally ascended to the throne was Prince Rui?"

Although the Su family has not clearly taken sides, they are very close to their in-laws, the Xue family. If Prince Rui ascends the throne in the end, the Su family will definitely not end up well. No wonder Yan Muqing tried every means to avoid entering the Eastern Palace.

If everything that happened next developed as Yan Muqing predicted in her dream, her revenge would not only harm Yan Muqing, but also indirectly hurt the Su family.

Yan Muqing shook her head in denial, "I only know that my father will surrender to Prince Rui and the Crown Prince will die, but I don't know if Prince Rui will be the one to ascend the throne in the end."

When she died in her previous life, Emperor Yuanjing was still alive. Although the crown prince was deposed and imprisoned, Prince Rui was still Prince Rui, and I'm afraid he was still a long way from ascending the throne!

Yan Muxi frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Big sister, are you sure that father has surrendered to King Rui?"

Prince Rui and the Weiyuan Marquisate were arrogantly seeking power, and Prince Rui was impatient and eager for success. She felt that a man as cunning as her father would not be willing to support Prince Rui as the monarch.

Hearing her ask this, Yan Muqing frowned and fell into deep thought.

In the previous life, Prince Rui's faction had been fighting against the Crown Prince for many years, and the Eastern Palace was personally besieged by Yan Yongchen. If he was not Prince Rui's man, whose man could he be?

"I'm not sure whether my father works for Prince Rui, but I'm sure he won't be loyal to the Crown Prince. Both the Su and Qian families will be stepping stones for him to ascend to a high position."

Yan Muxi nodded to show that she understood, and continued to ask, "How did I die in the dream of Big Sister? Who killed me? Are my grandpa and grandma okay?"

"My second sister was killed by bandits. Not long after that, Qian's maternal grandfather became seriously ill and was bedridden. The Qian family's business was handed over to Qian's cousin." Yan Muqing paused before continuing, "Before I died, your mother was still alive and well."

Yan Muxi was silent for a long time after listening to it. When she had almost digested it, she asked the last question, "Can the elder sister in my dream also enter the Eastern Palace?"

Yan Muqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Yes, I entered the Eastern Palace when I was seventeen, and served as the Crown Princess for twelve years."

Yan Muxi was shocked. "So, it's my father..."

"That's right, he personally gave the order to shoot the prince and me." Yan Muqing looked up at the sky, holding back the tears that were about to burst out.

She would never forget the cold look in her father's eyes when he gave the order to shoot, as if those about to be killed were not his own flesh and blood, but unrelated livestock.

She once admired him so much and believed in him so much. How could he do this? How could he have the heart to do this?

Even when he lay down on the bed late at night, Yan Muxi's heavy mood had not been relieved at all.

She had always known that Yan Yongchen was cruel, but he was even crueler than she had imagined. She thought that abandoning her and attacking A Niang was extremely cold-hearted and cold-blooded.

Yan Yongchen was so cruel as to shoot his own flesh and blood. He was even worse than a cold-blooded beast and had no heart at all.

But she couldn't understand why Yan Yongchen did that? As the father-in-law of the prince and the chief minister of the cabinet, his status was already above all the ministers in the temple, so why did he still make trouble?

Could it be that Yan Yongchen's ambition was so great that he wanted to usurp the throne? Overthrow the Yu family's imperial power and take the throne himself?

No matter Yan Yongchen wanted to rule the world himself or be loyal to a certain heir to the throne, if she did nothing next, what awaited the Qian family would be just like in Yan Muqing's dream, being eaten up and cruelly abandoned.

Women in the inner palace have no access to court affairs, and the Prince Rong's Mansion where she is going to marry has long been far away from court disputes. What can she do?

Marquis Dingbei passed away suddenly. According to convention, Gu Yunting had to observe a three-year mourning period before he could return to his official career.

At the court the next morning, Emperor Yuanjing took out a memorial, saying that it was submitted by Marquis Dingbei some days ago.

The content of the memorial was roughly that he had been bedridden for many years, waiting for his ninth son to get married. Now his wish had been fulfilled. If he died one day, he did not want his children to observe mourning for him. He hoped that the emperor would approve it.

The memorial was presented by Emperor Yuanjing himself, so even if it was fake, the ministers did not dare to question it.

Gu Yunting had to observe a deep mourning period and it was impossible for him to skip a single day. After some discussion between Emperor Yuanjing and other ministers, Gu Yunting's three-year mourning period was changed to one year, while his grandchildren would observe it for half a year.

In other words, Gu Yunting only needs to observe mourning for one year before he can return to the northern border to garrison.

June 12th was Concubine Li's birthday, and she specially invited several noble ladies to the palace to celebrate her birthday, including Yan Muxi and Yan Muqing.

In the carriage, Yan Muxi asked Yan Muqing, "Big sister, do you think we will encounter any troubles when we enter the palace?"

Yan Muqing thought about it and realized that in her previous life, she was also invited into the palace by Concubine Li. It seemed that she was just ridiculed, but nothing serious happened.

But many things are different in this life, and she is not sure whether any accidents will happen.

"It's hard to say. Second sister, just be more alert."

After hearing what Yan Muqing said, Yan Muxi had an idea in her mind. This time she entered the palace, it might be quite different from the scene in her dream.

The carriage and the maids were waiting outside the palace gate. After entering the palace, the two sisters were led by the eunuchs directly to the Jinxiu Palace where Concubine Li lived.

Concubine Li loved all kinds of flowers. There was a garden in Jinxiu Palace, which covered an area not much smaller than the Imperial Garden. The birthday banquet was held next to the pavilion in the garden.

When Yan Muxi and Yan Muqing arrived at the garden pavilion, many concubines and noble ladies of lower ranks had already arrived.

After greeting each other, Yan Muqing pulled Yan Muxi to sit next to the future Crown Princess Xue Wanhe.

Xue Wanhe's appearance was not extremely beautiful, but she had clear eyebrows and bright eyes, and she looked cold and worldly.

She only greeted Yan Muxi and her sister when they first met, and never spoke again after that.

The imperial concubine had not arrived yet, but the reward from Emperor Yuanjing had arrived first, and he had someone place it on the stone table in the pavilion.

There are gold and silver jewelry, coral ornaments, and various rare supplements. Among them, a peony flower carved from jade is particularly eye-catching.

After the eunuch left, everyone gathered around the table and commented on the rewards, praising and envying them before dispersing.

Yan Muxi and Yan Muqing also came over to take a look. Although neither of them was very interested, they didn't want to do anything out of the ordinary and attract other people's attention.

Concubine Li asked the eunuch to deliver the reward to the pavilion, which was obviously to show off her favor to everyone. If no one saw it, it would be tantamount to saving Concubine Li's face.

Yan Muxi had just sat down when he suddenly saw a palace servant passing by the stone table and taking a scent bead from the box.

The palace maid's movements were very quick and could not be seen by the naked eye. Only because Yan Muxi had been a thief before could she spot anything unusual in her companions at a glance.

Seeing the palace maid quietly walk out of the pavilion after succeeding, she stood up and said to Yan Muqing, "I heard that the roses in Jinxiu Garden are in great bloom. Let's go and take a look!"

Hearing her affirmative tone, Yan Muqing realized that something might happen, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I also want to go for a walk in the garden." After saying that, he looked at Xue Wanhe beside him, "Sister Xue, do you want to go with us?"
