Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

Ok?

When did she say that? She wrote the letter, didn't she know that the specific content of the letter was just a very formal reply.

After all, Nuo Hanyan is a lady from a wealthy family. If I don't respond according to the etiquette of Jinzhou City, it might be considered disrespectful in the eyes of the young lady.

If he gets angry and ignores me, all my efforts will be in vain.

Could it be that Lu Boshan, that shameless bastard, secretly intercepted his reply and then made up some nonsense?

"In that case, you can open it and take a look."

The Queen Mother still wasn't angry. Instead, she was looking forward to seeing whether what the Xia family's daughter said was true or what the little piece of black charcoal said was true.

"Ah."

Xia Zhiyuan quickly tore open the envelope with his fingertips and opened the letter. He saw that the handwriting on it was indeed very similar to his own. Even if he looked at it himself, he could hardly tell the difference.

"One day without seeing you feels like three years have passed. I miss you so much..."

After reading the first few paragraphs at a glance, Xia Zhiyuan was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. No, what is written here?

Slander, this is absolutely slander!

"To reply to the Queen Mother, this letter was indeed not written by Zhiyuan."

Xia Zhiyuan has tried his best to control his emotions. The main reason is that the male protagonist, who has a hole in his brain, can't he see that this is totally inconsistent with his personality!

It's ooc but I still believe it.

"I see, but even if you wrote this letter, it's harmless."

"After all, Changlin never likes fools."

Although these words were meant to praise himself, they sounded strange to Xia Zhiyuan. Could it be that the Queen Mother had something else to say?

Sure enough, the Queen Mother spoke out immediately.

"But I still need you to do one thing. Continue to correspond with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."

“Don’t miss this opportunity.”

When you kill a snake, you must strike at its most vulnerable part. Since Marquis Zhongyong cares so much about the Xia family's daughter, we cannot let go of this good move. If used properly, it can be a great killer move.

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Xia Zhiyuan instantly understood what was going on.

"I also know that asking you to pretend to be submissive and do these things is indeed a bit difficult for you, but if you can get the help of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery in the battle of Yonghe, it will definitely be able to weaken the wings of both sides."

"This is a good thing for Changlin."

At this point, it is still unclear whether the Loyal and Brave Marquis will go to war. Even under pressure from court officials, the Loyal and Brave Marquis took on this difficult task and dispatched troops to Yong River.

Whether or not one is willing to contribute is another matter.

If he could get along well with the rebels, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to surrender to King Wen. After all, Lu Boshan was not a civil servant. He had military power in his hands, and others had to give way to him wherever he went.

If he had surrendered to King Wen, the remaining followers of King Wen would have surely agreed wholeheartedly, welcoming him with laughter and joy, and offering wine to the guests.

"I understand. Zhiyuan will definitely not let the Queen Mother down."

Looking at the envelope in his hand, Xia Zhiyuan knew that his reply letter that day was most likely intercepted by the assassin, who then imitated his handwriting, refilled the letter paper, and sent it to Lu Boshan in the general's mansion.

When Lu Boshan saw the contents of the letter, he believed it almost instantly, thinking that he was living a miserable life in front of His Highness and was devoted to him.

Moreover, what made Lu Boshan even more certain was Xia Zhiyuan's confession and admiration for him in the letter, which really satisfied what Lu Boshan had always wanted.

So what if she is His Highness's study partner? So what if she is His Highness's favorite? She still loves me.

Why should such a perfect match as theirs be separated by the royal family? If that's the case, then what does it matter if he becomes the emperor himself?

So he relied on his spies in the palace to bypass Zhao Changlin's men and shadow guards and delivered the letter to the empress dowager.

I hope the Queen Mother can help me.

Marquis Zhongyong had a clear plan in his mind. He thought that since Zhao Changlin had no direct blood relationship with the Queen Mother, it was possible for him to support anyone to ascend the throne.

As long as his promises are rich enough and attractive enough to the Queen Mother, she will definitely give him a convenient way out.

So he first used these romantic matters to test the Queen Mother's attitude and see if she was willing to help him fight against Her Royal Highness the Princess.

If the Queen Mother agrees, it will prove that his move was not wrong.

Only by taking unconventional actions with sword and risky moves with chess can you break the deadlock.

"Okay, good boy, since you understand these things, I won't say any more to you, lest Chang Lin comes and asks me for punishment."

Go ahead and say it, the Queen Mother stretched out her slender fingers, pressed her temples and pretended to be tired.

"I am old now, and I often feel dizzy and hot-headed. I can't stand Changlin's fierce tone and questioning. It's better when her mother is around. She is gentle and kind. She came to greet me, and there is nothing to say."

Why is Your Highness always so unpopular among the ladies in the palace?

Xia Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something. Could it be that because he was too naughty when he was a child, the stereotype of the prince became more profound when he grew up?

Why did she feel that Her Highness was actually a very gentle woman, except that she was a little bit arrogant sometimes, and her words were a little harsh, but it was understandable, after all, there were not many people in a high position who could speak nicely.

"Alright, I have told you everything I should and shouldn't say. If you have any questions about what to say next, you can come to me."

"As long as I can help solve it, I will definitely not hide it."

"I have taken time out of my busy schedule to come and see you. Now I have to go and deal with the greetings from the ladies in the palace. I hope Miss Xia will forgive me."

The Empress Dowager's days in the Cining Palace were not idle at all; rather, they were very busy. The late Emperor did not appoint another Empress, so all power in the harem was controlled by Concubine De and Concubine Xian. Concubine De liked to ask her about trivial matters no matter what.

I have a headache and I can't figure out the accounts.

If you don’t know, you might think she was trying to blackmail the Cining Palace.

"I dare not. Zhiyuan respectfully sends the Queen Mother off."

……

Outside Jinluan Hall.

The young eunuchs walked hurriedly, fearing that if they were a step slower, they would not be able to keep up with Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Even though they were still unclear about what had happened in the Golden Palace today, they could all understand that His Highness was burning with anger and had no place to vent it.

Could it be related to the rumors that were circulating in the palace? Would the remaining followers of King Wen really be planning to break into the palace and seize the throne soon?

If this is true, it is understandable that Your Highness is so angry.

"All of you step back. I will serve His Highness."

Xiao Liuzi walked up slowly and tactfully and sent away the two young eunuchs who were following the prince.
