After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

"Your Majesty, what do you want him to help you with?" Kang Miaoqing asked, looking up.

Concubine Wan turned her head and glanced at Kang Miaoqing, "Make some foolproof plans for the future."

After taking a sip of tea, Concubine Wan Guifei said calmly, "I can't tell you the details of this matter yet. I will tell you after you two get married."

"If you know too much, your life will not be long. Princess Jialin has been in the deep palace of Chen State for many years. She must know this truth, right?" Concubine Wan said quietly.

When Kang Miaoqing was looked at like this by Concubine Wan, her heart trembled and cold sweat seemed to break out on her back.

Kang Miaoqing nodded slightly, "Your Majesty is right."

Concubine Wan smiled and patted Kang Miaoqing on the shoulder, "Jia Lin, don't be nervous. It's not the right time yet."

"When the time comes, you and Boss Wu will naturally know."

Kang Miaoqing nodded and said nothing more.

The maid opened the curtain and came in. After paying her respects, she said, "Your Majesty, Duke Wan Guo is here."

"Let him in." Concubine Wan replied.

"Your Majesty, I will leave now and not disturb your reunion with the Duke." Kang Miaoqing said goodbye.

Concubine Wan nodded slightly.

Princess Jialin is quite sensible.

After Kang Miaoqing got Concubine Wan's approval, she bowed and left.

Duke Wan Guo then walked in and saluted Concubine Wan. "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Concubine. I wish Her Majesty long life and good health."

"Father, what are you doing?" Concubine Wan helped Duke Wan up.

"Please take a seat." Concubine Wan said.

The maid standing by placed the round stool next to Duke Wan Guo.

"Thank you, Her Majesty, for the seat." Duke Wan Guo then lifted his robe and sat down.

"Your Majesty wrote to ask me to come here. What is the matter?" asked Duke Wan Guo.

"Father, I want to find an iron mine to forge weapons. It would be best if it is in the second prince's fiefdom." Concubine Wan said.

Wan Guogong's eyes widened immediately, "Iron mine?! Privately owning an iron mine is a matter of life and death."

"This is inappropriate, inappropriate." Duke Wan Guo said repeatedly.

"Father, listen to me. Hong Shen and I are in an increasingly difficult situation in this palace. The prince fought back fiercely today. He poisoned my son some time ago. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise I dare not imagine what would happen to Hong Shen." As Concubine Wan spoke, her eyes began to turn red.

"How could the prince do that? How dare he poison someone? Does the emperor know?" Duke Wan Guo asked angrily.

Concubine Wan shook her head and sighed before replying, "Your Majesty doesn't know. After all, I have no evidence, so how dare I talk about this in front of your Majesty?"

"But before I poisoned the prince, I had bullied him in front of the emperor, and he must have been holding a grudge against me for that. Not long after that, my son was poisoned. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?" Concubine Wan asked back.

Duke Wan Guo nodded, "Your Highness is right."

"After my son was poisoned, I wrote an article for the book 'Gui Xun'. 'Gui Xun' was written by Pei Guan, who was the Grand Marshal and an important figure in the prince's party. If he didn't say anything, Ren Yong would naturally not get angry, and I could use this book to gain a good reputation among the people and increase the weight for Hong Shen to win the throne. But if he said something, Ren Yong would report him, and we could cut off the prince's arm." There was a hint of resentment in Concubine Wan's eyes.

Concubine Wan paused, then gritted her teeth and continued, "But, Father, you know, the Crown Prince used that damn flyer to get three of our men, especially the Minister of War Fu Changfeng, whose position is so important."

Duke Wan Guo stroked his beard and said, "However, mining iron ore to forge weapons is still too risky. Once discovered, it will be considered as treason and the entire clan will be executed. Your Majesty, please be careful."

"Father, Lu Fanglai, the Salt and Iron Transport Commissioner who manages the Salt and Iron Bureau, is now on our side. If it were in my son's fiefdom, the local officials would have no choice but to cooperate with us. And with the addition of someone who is good at business management, everything would be fine." Concubine Wan said.

"Your Majesty, you must know that if this matter is discovered, we will all die, including His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Duke Wan Guo said with a worried look in his eyes.

"But, father, there have been people who shorted accounts and secretly traded salt and iron in every dynasty. Besides, if this is accomplished and my son becomes the emperor, the whole Wan family will have a bright future," said Concubine Wan.

Duke Wan Guo was still a little hesitant and didn't say anything.

"Father, we may not necessarily start a rebellion. We are just being prepared. Only by being prepared can we avoid danger." Concubine Wan said.

"You also know that this iron ore business is extraordinary. I need someone reliable to take charge. Now I can only trust the Wan family. Please, father, help us mother and son." Concubine Wan immediately requested.

But Duke Wanguo said nothing, as if his mind was in a state of conflict.

"Father, if the prince continues like this, I'm afraid that when he ascends the throne, mother and I will die. Do you think he will treat the Wan family well at that time?" Concubine Wan raised her voice and asked back.

When Duke Wan Guo heard what Concubine Wan said, he thought for a while and gradually clenched his hands into fists on his knees.

He finally made up his mind.

Duke Wan Guo then said, "Dad will help you transfer people from the clan. Don't worry."

"In that case, thank you very much, father." Concubine Wan replied with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. We are a family no matter what. If the second prince can succeed, it will be a great thing for our Wan family." Duke Wan Guo replied.

Concubine Wan nodded, "Father is right."

"Father, please send a reliable nephew to my son's fiefdom and find a remote iron mine. All the workers who come to mine must have a death contract. Otherwise, if the news leaks, I'm afraid we will all die." Concubine Wan instructed.

Duke Wan Guo nodded, "I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry."

Concubine Wan nodded.

Duke Wan Guo then stood up and said goodbye and left.

On the other side, Liang Jiuan led Liu Yuefu into the palace and just passed by the Wan family's carriage.

"Why did the Wan family enter the palace?" Liu Yuefu got off the carriage and asked Liang Jiuan.

"He should be looking for Concubine Wan. I'm afraid there will be some changes with my second brother. We have to be careful." Liang Jiuan said.

Liu Yuefu nodded, but her heart sank.

After her death in her previous life, she just wandered around the graves of the Li and Liu families all day long and didn't know much about what was going on in the court.

Seeing that Liu Yuefu looked unhappy, Liang Jiuan consoled her, "Don't worry, there will always be a way out."

Liu Yuefu raised the corner of her mouth slightly and tried to force out a smile, "I'm fine, let's go."

Liang Jiuan nodded and walked forward.

Liang Jiuan took out his badge and showed it to the guards guarding the palace. The guards only took a glance at it, bowed, and let them enter the palace.

Although it was not Liu Yuefu's first time to enter the palace, she couldn't help feeling nervous when she thought that this time she was going to meet Liang Jiuan's biological mother, Concubine Ning.

Seeing that Liu Yuefu was so nervous that she kept rubbing her fingers, Liang Jiuan said, "My mother is very easy to talk to. You don't have to be nervous. She will definitely like you very much."
