No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

Just as Yangyang thought, the Crown Princess's expression became even more solemn after hearing Yangyang's words. As her sight was drawn, her thoughts drifted back to the past.

"My father Duan Jiayan has been close to your mother Jia since they were young, because when grandpa took your grandmother and Jia back under pressure, no one in the Duan family supported him."

"My father and your mother are of similar age, so they are least hindered by these things. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so they can talk about anything."

"It was because of this relationship that my father passed away and the Duan family fell into a haze."

Hearing the Crown Princess's story, it seems that the man that Zuo Xiang originally told Yang Yang about who was implicated by his mother was the Crown Princess's father Duan Jiayan.

Yangyang met the Crown Princess's gaze and said, "This is probably why my grandfather has never forgiven my mother and the Duan family no longer associates with the Xue family!"

"No!" The Crown Princess said firmly, her eyes clear, "Grandfather never hated your mother. He loved every one of his children, and he still loves them now. This is all because of Second Grandfather. Second Grandfather hates himself for not stopping Great Grandfather and causing the tragedy that followed."

"Second Grandpa?"

Yangyang was a little confused about the relationship between this person and her grandmother. It was all because the Duan family had too many branches, unlike the Xue family which had so few members.

"Second Grandfather and your grandmother are both legitimate sons and daughters of the Duan family. They are the original pride of the Duan family."

"My second grandfather is a man of both virtue and talent. He was once the Minister of Personnel, which is the position Feng Ronger's father holds now."

The Crown Princess specifically mentioned this official position, which made Yangyang even more suspicious of the Feng family's status.

But the story of the Crown Princess is not over yet.

"Later, because of your grandmother, he was demoted, so Second Grandfather has always hated your grandmother, his only legitimate sister, and even the entire Xue family."

That’s all I have to say. Based on her observations over the past few days and the accounts of many people, Yangyang seems to have drawn a network in her mind that forces her to connect the dots.

"Did the Feng family rise to power because of this hatred? The Feng family is the second princess's line. The great grandfather was the prince's teacher, and they were the prince's line. When the Duan family fell, the Feng family gained power, and the second princess..."

Before Yangyang could finish her words, she was stopped by the Crown Princess. "Sister Yangyang is smart and knows that the Left Prime Minister has always been neutral and does not want to get involved in these disputes. Yangyang can also ignore the Duan family's affairs. So, sister Yangyang, you should stay away from these disputes."

Yangyang was deeply moved by the Crown Princess's sincere concern, but she just smiled and said, "Sister, do you think I can ignore it?"

The word "sister" is Yangyang's greatest trust in the Crown Princess.

Yangyang knows that she cannot escape her own stubborn desire for justice and her longing for her family.

"Yangyang, even the prince and I don't know the truth about Aunt Jia's affairs, and we don't understand why people always use Jia's affairs to stir up trouble, but there is one thing,"

The Crown Princess knew that Yangyang was most worried about the Left Prime Minister. "As long as the Left Prime Minister remains neutral, there won't be any problems. After all, Aunt Jia is involved in the Great Rong Kingdom, and the only thing that can cause the Great Rong Kingdom to waver is the dispute between the two factions."

Two factions?

If the two factions are the Crown Prince and the Second Princess, then it is obvious that the young marquis is the Second Princess's man. No wonder the young marquis of a state can have such a strong influence in the Beijing Guards.

No wonder the Second Prince's wife and the Crown Princess always seem to be competing with each other everywhere. It turns out that it is all a dispute between the two factions.

Yangyang also asked questions about the Queen Mother and the Second Princess.

The Crown Princess looked around, then changed the subject as if relieved.

"General Tang will be returning to Mobei soon. Will Sister Yangyang go with him?"

Return to Mobei?

Yangyang had never heard Tang Yuwei mention this matter, but now the Crown Princess is saying that the court is unstable, why let General Tang go at this time?

"Your Highness, aren't you worried?" Yangyang asked in a hurry, not caring about the interests involved.

The Crown Princess laughed out loud, "Now I finally understand why General Tang, who has always been so cold, likes Sister Yangyang so much!"

Yangyang was puzzled and laughed dryly, "Haha! Why?"

"Because both of you are selfless." The Crown Princess stood up and said loudly.

Turning towards the entrance of the Imperial Garden, he saw two familiar figures standing there, one was the prince and the other was Tang Yuwei.

"Someone is worried that something bad has happened, and they have broken the rules and entered the Imperial Garden. Sister, you'd better follow me back quickly."

The Crown Princess looked at the entrance and then turned to look at Yangyang, as if everything she had just said was just an insignificant story.

But how could Yangyang just listen to those words and then forget them?

"Sister, Yangyang can't stay out of this!"

Tang Yuwei's carriage had already been prepared, waiting for Yangyang to come out.

"General Tang, is it possible that he has sent people to monitor my every move all day long? Otherwise, how would he know that I would return to the palace today?"

The tone was somewhat accusatory, but more of a question.

Yangyang got on the carriage. The Crown Princess's ambiguous answer was still fresh in her mind. Now she could only ask Tang Yuwei for clarification.

Tang Yuwei ordered the carriage to move forward, opened the window and took a look, then said calmly,

"After the last hairpin banquet, I felt that there would be a follow-up, so I resorted to this desperate measure because I was worried."

Yangyang calmed down. This answer was within her expectations, but she was not concerned about this matter at the moment.

But there were too many questions, and she didn't know how to ask them. In the end, she only said,

"General Tang, I still have to thank you. Otherwise, my life would be in danger."

Yangyang crossed her arms, feeling a little scared as she realized that there was nothing she could truly control.

Tang Yuwei moved over and quickly sat next to Yangyang. As if he could see what Yangyang was thinking, he hugged Yangyang and stroked her arm with his hand.

"Don't worry, I know all these things. Naturally, I can protect you well."

This was the second time Yangyang heard these words from his mouth.

Compared to the surprise and astonishment last time, Yangyang seemed to be more accepting this time.

But he knew everything he said, and Yangyang was curious about what it was all about.

"General Tang, why is the Second Princess so protective of the Feng family's daughter?"

Isn't the relationship between the Second Princess and the Queen Mother very harmonious?"
