"Using the Crown Prince's Consort?" Dongfang Yinxu asked in surprise, "How is this possible?"

"I know this sounds a bit cruel, but this is our only chance." Zheng Zhuoling explained, "Du Yunsheng has a deep relationship with the Crown Prince Jiang Shaohan. If we can use her and let the Crown Prince help us indirectly, then the possibility of our plan succeeding will be greatly increased."

Dongfang Qingye hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, since there is no other way, then this is the only way. But you have to remember that Du Yunsheng is our last trump card, and we must not let her know our plan."

Zheng Zhuoling nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Dongfang Yinxu: "Dongfang Yinxu, go find someone who can help us."

"One person? Are you talking about Du Yuwei?" Dongfang Yinxu frowned.

"No, not Du Yuwei." Zheng Zhuoling shook his head. "I'm looking for someone who can replace Du Yuwei, someone who can get close to the Crown Prince Jiang Shaohan."

Dongfang Yinxu pondered for a moment, and then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "I understand, I will find that person."

In this way, a new plan quietly formed between them, and Du Yunsheng was unaware of it.

At the same time, Crown Prince Jiang Shaohan was handling government affairs in his study.

"Prince, you have been busy for a long time. It's time to take a break." Du Yunsheng said softly.

Jiang Shaohan looked up at Du Yunsheng and smiled, "It's okay, Yunsheng, I know what I'm doing." Du Yunsheng sat next to Jiang Shaohan and gently held his hand, "Sir, I understand your desire to contribute to the Western Wei, but I'm worried about your health."

Jiang Shaohan gently patted Du Yunsheng's hand: "Don't worry, Yunsheng, I will take good care of myself. Besides, I have you by my side, what else do I have to be afraid of?"

At this moment, a servant hurried in and said, "Prince, Dongfang Qingye and Dongfang Yinxu from the Dongfang family want to see you."

Jiang Shaohan frowned slightly. He knew that the Dongfang family and he did not have a good relationship, but why did they come together to see him?

"Let them in." Jiang Shaohan said in a deep voice.

Dongfang Qingye and Dongfang Yinxu walked in. They bowed to Jiang Shaohan and said, "Sir, we have two important things to report to you."

While Dongfang Qingye and Dongfang Yinxu were talking, Jiang Shaohan's reputation was being tested as never before in the palace. Du Yuwei and Zheng Zhuoling's conspiracy had begun to ferment, and rumors were spreading like a virus in the palace. Some officials who were originally loyal to Jiang Shaohan began to have doubts, and those nobles who had long been dissatisfied with Jiang Shaohan seized this opportunity to try to weaken his power.

Although Jiang Shaohan himself had not been directly attacked, he was not completely unaware of the spread of these rumors. If he did not take action, these rumors would soon affect his position and reputation. Therefore, he began to secretly investigate the mastermind behind all this, while also thinking about how to fight back.

"Shaohan, you don't have to worry too much. I believe in your innocence and I also believe that Du Yuwei and Zheng Zhuoling's conspiracy will eventually be exposed." Du Yunsheng looked at Jiang Shaohan, her eyes full of determination and support.

Jiang Shaohan held Du Yunsheng's hand and smiled, "Thank you, Yunsheng. I will find evidence to prove that all this is their conspiracy. I won't let them succeed."

Behind them are the high walls of the palace and the endless night, as if foreshadowing that the road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges.

On the other hand, Dongfang Shenqi, Gu Wenhan and Qiao Qinghan were also in their respective rooms, thinking about their next move.

"Brother Dongfang, what do you think we should do?" Gu Wenhan looked at Dongfang Shenqi, his eyes full of anticipation.

Dongfang Shenqi pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "We need to find evidence to prove the conspiracy of Du Yuwei and Zheng Zhuoling. Only in this way can we clear Jiang Shaohan's grievances and protect our interests."

Qiao Qinghan nodded gently, "Yes, we need to act cautiously and not let the enemy see our flaws."

The three reached a consensus and decided to collect evidence secretly, while also waiting for the opportunity to take action at the critical moment.

After careful consideration, Dongfang Qingye said resolutely: "At this moment, we need to carefully plan an action and never let Du Yuwei and Zheng Zhuoling's actions continue to spread. Dongfang Yinxu, you have always been very wise, do you have any good ideas to teach me?"

Dongfang Yinxu nodded slightly and replied, "Qingye, I think we should start from the inside and find out the traitors who were bribed by Du Yuwei and Zheng Zhuoling. Only by eliminating these major troubles can our decision-making be carried out smoothly."

Dongfang Qingye nodded and said, "That's right. We must weave a tight intelligence network to understand the enemy's every move and protect our people at the same time. Only in this way can we be sure of victory in this battle."

The two talked in secret for a long time, and finally decided to set up an intelligence team composed of loyal confidants to sneak into every corner of the palace quietly, collect intelligence, and expose the conspiracy of Du Yuwei and Zheng Zhuoling.

At the same time, Jiang Shaohan was also taking intensive actions. He knew that in order to break the current passive situation, he must obtain solid evidence to prove the betrayal of Du Yuwei and Zheng Zhuoling.

Therefore, he began to secretly contact people in the court, trying to find trustworthy allies while searching for any subtle clues that could serve as evidence.

Du Yunsheng was also running around for Jiang Shaohan. Although her influence was not as great as Jiang Shaohan's, she also had her own connections in the palace. She used her network to try to obtain key information in order to provide support for Jiang Shaohan.

With Du Yunsheng's unremitting exploration, she finally captured some key information. Du Yuwei and Zheng Zhuoling seemed to be secretly planning a major operation, although the details were still confusing.

Du Yunsheng knew that this was a valuable clue, so he immediately reported the discovery to Jiang Shaohan.

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with a sharpness, and he immediately realized that this might be the key to turning their passive situation around. Therefore, he decided to show up in person, meet this mysterious Du Yuwei, and uncover her conspiracy.

In front of Du Yuwei's residence, two guards in iron armor stood straight, their eyes like lightning, watching the surroundings vigilantly. Jiang Shaohan approached slowly, and said in a calm but firm voice: "I am the prince Jiang Shaohan. I have something important to discuss with Lord Du. Please pass it on."

The two guards exchanged glances, and one of them responded in a deep voice: "Sir, my master is handling important matters in the inner room, so please do not disturb me. You should go back first."
