Reborn as a legitimate daughter, huh? Why is she different from her previous life?

"Is there a possibility that the man just happened to leave after he was summoned by you?" Yu Menghua analyzed rationally.

Dong Linyue was not angry this time, but still shook her head slowly and said, "No. It was almost five o'clock in the morning, and it was time for the emperor to hold court. There was nothing major happening in Donglin Kingdom during those days, so the emperor held court at a normal time, and he did not summon anyone to the palace to discuss government affairs all night long."

"So, I am sure that man is my fake father! Because I later remembered why the look in his eyes when he looked at me made me feel so familiar!"

"Sometimes the way 'Father' looks at me is exactly the same as that person's eyes!"

Yu Menghua was a little confused and said suspiciously: "Since you are so sure, it means that you know that the real Emperor Donglin must be hidden in the imperial study. The imperial study is so small, why haven't you found any clues in the past few years..."

Dong Lin sighed again, "Alas, of course I thought of it, but the Imperial Study is such an important place, even if I am the most favored princess, I can't stay there for long."

Yu Menghua's mouth twitched, "If we can't look for it openly, can't we look for it secretly?"

Dong Linyue glanced at her with resentment, "Do you think I haven't thought about looking for it secretly? Humph, I don't have any experts around me! The secret guards around me are all given by my father. How can they easily sneak into the imperial study, which is heavily guarded!"

"The people who want to guard the imperial study, or to say, guard the real Emperor Donglin, should be the people arranged by the fake Emperor Donglin. If he is really..." Feng Chengyin did not continue.

What he wanted to say was that if that person was really Qu Yitian from the Hidden Clan, then the people he arranged must also be members of the Hidden Clan who practiced ancient martial arts. I'm afraid that none of the masters of the four countries would be able to sneak into the royal study of the Donglin Kingdom under the noses of the Hidden Clan members.

Dong Linyue didn't say anything after hearing Feng Chengyin's words, but she lowered her eyes slightly, not knowing what she was thinking. Yu Menghua and Feng Chengyin were both silent, wondering what the fake Emperor Dong Lin was going to do.

After a while, Dong Linyue's voice rang out, "So, do you want to make a deal with me?"

"What deal?" Yu Menghua looked up in surprise, and Feng Chengyin asked with interest.

Dong Linyue raised a smile with great ambition on her face: "Help me become the queen of Donglin Kingdom!"

Yu Menghua was even more surprised. Throughout history, the Four Kingdoms (no, including the predecessor of the Four Kingdoms, the Great Zhou Empire), had never had a female emperor or empress. And Dong Linyue's ambition was to break the shackles of thousands or tens of thousands of years of tradition and become the first empress in these thousands or tens of thousands of years!

Feng Chengyin's eyebrows darkened. He had never expected that Dong Linyue was plotting to take over the entire Dong Lin Kingdom and become the first empress in history...

However, he could understand why Dong Linyue had such ambition.

Born in a royal family, let alone a prince, which princess didn't have the ambition to rule the world? !

It’s just that no emperor among the four countries has ever been as fond of his princess as Emperor Donglin is of Donglinyue.

No matter how favored a princess was, the emperor would only show a little more favor to her, but he would still restrict her with rules and regulations such as "a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent" and "her husband is her heaven" etc.

Therefore, those princesses were imprisoned by these traditional rationalist ideas, and could not and dared not covet the supreme position above them...

But Dong Linyue is different from them. Naturally, Youying Pavilion has a lot of news coming back from Donglin Kingdom. Although Dong Linyue may not have much real power, she is indeed well-loved by everyone in Donglin Kingdom, from the royal court to the common people, because of her reputation as a lucky star and her ability to predict the future.

In order to let the world know that Princess Fuxing of Donglin Kingdom is highly valued by the royal family, the Donglin Royal Family has educated her as a crown prince, and Donglin Kingdom has not yet appointed a crown prince...

"Oh, Princess Yue has quite an appetite." Feng Chengyin's words were not meant to be sarcastic. "How can that benefit us?"

Dong Linyue's expression relaxed. She was really afraid that the other party would reject her outright. She also knew how shocking her words were. But wasn't her ambition given to her by her 'father' himself?

Ah!

"I will certainly not let Beifeng suffer any loss." Dong Linyue's tone was filled with a hint of joy visible to the naked eye. "If this is accomplished, I guarantee that Donglin and Beifeng will be friendly brothers for the next hundred years."

"No matter what causes the war between Beifeng Kingdom and the other two countries in the future, I, Donglin, will resolutely join hands with Beifeng Kingdom to fight the enemy!"

Yu Menghua's expression also became serious. After his eyes met Feng Chengyin's, they exchanged a small look for a moment that only the two of them understood. Feng Chengyin nodded slightly and imperceptibly.

"Princess Yue wants to cooperate. I cannot possibly get involved in the internal affairs of Donglin Kingdom in the name of Beifeng Kingdom. I can only cooperate with the princess in my personal name!" Feng Chengyin and Yu Menghua are not stupid. How could they agree to Donglin Yue using Beifeng Kingdom's strength to help her compete for the throne?

Not to mention whether the plan can be accomplished or not, since ancient times, even the fight between princes for the throne has resulted in rivers of blood and a fight to the death, not to mention that Dong Lin also wants to be the first empress.

Even if this succeeds in the future, the other two countries will inevitably think that Beifeng Country is too powerful. They can even elect a queen in Donglin Country. Does that mean that Beifeng Country also has such means in the other two countries? !

If the two countries join forces to attack Beifeng, even with the help of Donglin Kingdom, once the war breaks out, there will be a river of blood, and the people of the four countries and those generals and soldiers will suffer!

This is definitely not what Feng Chengyin and Yu Menghua want to see.

Dong Linyue frowned and asked Feng Chengyin unhappily, "But without the support of Beifeng Country, how can you, a prince, help me fight for that position even if you have some power?"

What Dong Linyue didn't say clearly was that Feng Chengyin wasn't even a crown prince now. Even though Emperor Beifeng was dead, it was still unknown whether Feng Chengyin could ascend the throne. How could he help her seize the throne?

Feng Chengyin understood what Dong Linyue meant, but he was not angry at the doubt in her words. He chuckled and said, "Princess Yue, fighting for the throne does not mean going to war."

"You can use it here." Feng Chengyin pointed to his head.

Dong Linyue was even more confused, "Use your brain? What does that mean?"

"A plan." Yu Menghua was speechless. The hint was so clear, so how could Princess Yue, who always seemed quite smart, suddenly become stupid?

Dong Linyue: "..." Of course she knew it was a trick, but what trick? !

"Of course I know what you mean, but what plan do you have?" Dong Linyue's mouth twitched and she glared at Yu Menghua angrily. Don't think she didn't see that woman looking at her like a madman just now.
