"Young Master." Lin Yu blurted out, "How I wish Jiang Fenghua could become the carefree and carefree Young Master Ruan outside the palace."

"I can only be the Crown Princess." Jiang Fenghua's eyes were cold. Having come this far, even if Xie Shang doubted her, she would not give up. She had not done anything wrong.

She sat firmly in this position and watched the Su family being exterminated. Even if she did not avenge herself and the Jiang family, she thought that what she did was to act in the name of justice.

"Do you know that Xie Shang already suspects me? If you come into the palace like this, he will definitely know and will investigate you." Jiang Fenghua said.

"It's obviously him who has let you down. He suspects you of something, suspects that you help him everywhere." If Xie Shang dares to do anything to hurt Jiang Fenghua again, she will release the prince of the Hu tribe and support him in his rebellion to seize the throne. If the Hu tribe attacks the Great Zhou again, he will not be able to sit on the throne in peace.

No matter how much people in the world bully her, she will not let them go.

All this depends on Xie Shang's attitude towards Jiang Fenghua.

"He is the emperor. Have you ever seen an emperor who treated his concubines badly? He would feel guilty." She said softly, "Ayu, you don't understand the palace, so you think so. This place is the most ruthless. If I have the idea that he treated me badly, I will lose. I said that I am who I am and I will not change. I have my own plan in my mind, don't worry!"

Lin Yu understood, so she said that she would never fall in love with Xie Shang, or anyone else. Obviously everyone needs to be loved, to love, and to dare to love. Only then can life be meaningful. However, she forced herself to live like a heartless and loveless puppet.

Lin Yu did not tell her that Ji Chen was also alive and had obtained the identity of the prince of the Hu tribe, because she already had a perfect plan in her mind to avenge Jiang Fenghua. She only needed to sit firmly on the position of Crown Princess and wait for Xie Shang to ascend the throne and make her the queen.

She will avenge the Su family.

At the same time, when Xie Shang came out of Chenxi Palace and was about to go to Taihua Palace, he met Zhu Zhenzhen, who was dressed up carefully, on the way.

Zhu Zhenzhen bowed respectfully, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be polite." Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "Why is Zhenzhen here?"

"I am waiting here for Your Highness on purpose. I made some snacks and thought Your Highness might like them, so I wanted to bring them to Your Highness to try." She claimed to be sick and did not attend the New Year's Eve because she had already received instructions from her father. The prince told her father his plan because her father is now the prince's right-hand man.

Xie Shang glanced at her and said, "Come with me! I'm hungry too."

Zhu Zhenzhen smiled, "Yes."

At this moment, she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xie Shang's hand, and said in a gentle voice, "I would like to ask Your Highness to agree to one thing for me. I wonder if it is possible."

Disgust flashed across Xie Shang's eyes, but he still didn't let go of her hand. "What's the matter?"

"On the Lantern Festival, Your Highness, can you also take me out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns?" She sounded like she was acting coquettishly.

"Is the Lantern Festival coming soon?" Xie Shang asked deliberately, "I have been busy with the affairs of the court, and I didn't expect that it would be another Lantern Festival so soon."

"On the Lantern Festival, I will take you to the Censorate to meet your mother!" He had forgotten his promise to Jiang Fenghua that he would spend the Lantern Festival with her.

"Really? Your Highness, will you go back with me?" Zhu Zhenzhen was overjoyed. She held his hand tighter and occasionally moved closer to Xie Shang. The two of them seemed to be whispering, "Zhenzhen is very happy."

The two of them walked towards Taihua Palace together, one in front and one behind.

Zhao Yuntong, another lady of the East Palace, was watching from afar, observing their every move. Zhao Yuntong had not yet been summoned to the prince's bedchamber, and she was also trying hard to find an opportunity for the prince to see her.

However, the prince never went to the residences of the ladies in the Eastern Palace. If they wanted to be seen by the prince, they could only go to places where the prince often went. As soon as the prince came out of Chenxi Palace, he would be intercepted by Zhu Liangdi.

She twirled the handkerchief with her fingers, determined to find a solution.

So, Zhao Yuntong went to Chenxi Palace again to pay her respects to the Crown Princess.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of Chenxi Palace, she was stopped by someone, "The Crown Princess is resting, Miss Zhao, please come back another day!"

"I really have something to report to the Crown Princess. Please be flexible, Madam." Zhao Yuntong knew that money makes the world go round. When she entered the palace, her family gave her a lot of money to bring into the palace. Everywhere in the palace needed to be taken care of, so she was told not to be stingy, especially the servants in the Crown Princess's palace.

Zhao Yuntong gave a little too much money, so the nanny gritted her teeth and put the silver into her purse, "My lady, please wait a moment. I will go and inform the steward Lian Ye. If the Crown Princess wants to see you, I will come and invite you. If not..." She would not return the silver.

Zhao Yuntong nodded, "I understand. Thank you, Madam."

Lian Ye saw Miss Zhao standing outside from afar, so she went to the main bedroom to report, "Crown Princess, Miss Zhao requests to see you."

Seeing Lin Yu packed up, Jiang Fenghua said, "Let Aoxue escort Lin Yu out of the palace."

"Yes."

When Lin Yu went out, she took a deep look at Zhao Yuntong. The young ladies in Minister Zhao's mansion were all outstanding. Among these noble ladies in Kyoto, who could compare with Jiang Fenghua? They were all mediocre and vulgar. Xie Shang really had the guts to eat her.

Zhao Yuntong noticed someone was looking at her and looked back. She felt that the person in front of her was very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

Lian Ye said, "Please come in, Miss Zhao. The Crown Princess is waiting for you."

Zhao Yuntong nodded. She didn't dare to offend anyone in the East Palace. She said quickly, "Thank you, Manager Lianye."

"I pay my respects to the Crown Princess." Zhao Yuntong bowed respectfully.

Jiang Fenghua said in a gentle voice, "I heard that Miss Zhao wanted to report something to me. What is it?"

Zhao Yuntong glanced around. Jiang Fenghua did not dismiss her attendants, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I just saw Zhu Liangdi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking hand in hand to Taihua Palace together."

Jiang Fenghua's eyes darkened slightly, "What do you want to say by coming to tell me this, Miss Zhao?"

Zhao Yuntong's heart was trembling. She just wanted to rely on the Crown Princess and hoped to be favored by the Crown Prince like Concubine Song and the others. She really couldn't find any other reason.

Zhao Yuntong knelt on the ground quickly, "Please forgive me, Crown Princess. I may have been too busy and lost my sense of propriety for a moment. Your Highness and Zhu Liangdi have a good relationship, but it is not my place to comment on it."

Zhao Yuntong was originally a chess piece chosen by Jiang Fenghua to enter the palace. The Zhao family was generous, and this concubine's daughter had the same status as a legitimate daughter after entering the palace. It was understandable that Xie Shang favored Zhu Zhenzhen more in his spare time. Now the whole court was working together to investigate the affairs of the Su family.

Jiang Fenghua personally helped Zhao Yuntong up, "Ms. Zhao, you have a good heart. If you want to gain the favor of the prince, you have to rely on your family. Even if I want to help you, it's hard for a good cook to cook without rice."

She wanted the Zhao family to make mistakes. Even if the Zhao family had made mistakes a long time ago, they had not been made public.
