Wan'er was overjoyed. In just two days, she had found allies, and even more so, allies with brains. This would undoubtedly make the mission much easier.

"You don't need to do anything. I'll find out who's behind this and make it seem like she's responsible for your death." Wan'er said casually, but her tone was very serious.

Upon hearing this, Jing'er frowned slightly. "Okay, I promise you, but don't wait too long. Let's wait several years before we find out."

"No, at most a year. If the mastermind is too cunning and I fail to find out, I will help you leave the palace ahead of time," Wan'er assured her confidently.

"Really?" Jing'er's eyes lit up with excitement, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope.

"Of course," Wan'er replied confidently, her eyes sparkling with self-assurance.

After the two reached an agreement, Wan'er felt much more at ease. Just as she was about to get up and leave, she heard Jing'er say, "Wait."

"Anything else?" Wan'er asked, turning her gaze to the camera.

“I suddenly remembered that I had seen Yu Yan in Ag Palace. At the time, I thought it was you who ordered her to go there,” Jing’er replied earnestly.

"Age?" Wan'er didn't know who this person was. Just as she was about to ask again, there was a knock on the door.

It turned out that Qi Lan had reminded Wan'er that it was already Hai Shi (9-11 PM) and urged her to return to the palace.

Upon hearing this, Wan'er hurriedly bid farewell to Jing'er and left Guanju Palace with Qilan.

All the way, Wan'er kept thinking about who Ag was, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember him. She couldn't help but blame herself for not reading enough books.

Seeing her furrowed brows, Qi Lan couldn't help but worry. "Your Highness, what's wrong? Did the Empress bully you again?"

Wan'er shook her head. "No, I was wondering who Ag is."

Qi Lan smiled and said, "So that's what Your Highness was thinking about. I thought something had happened. Why did Your Highness frown and speculate instead of asking me?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Lan's worries subsided.

"You know?" Wan'er's eyes flashed with a bright light.

"Yes," Qi Lan complimented, "The concubine of Chenxi Palace is nicknamed Ag."

"Also from the Borjigit clan?" Wan'er asked.

"Yes," Qi Lan said.

Upon hearing this, Wan'er's eyes dimmed. "It seems she's a formidable opponent."

Through Qi Lan's explanation, Wan'er gradually understood A Ge's origins.

Although Agge came from the Borjigit clan, she was not from the same tribe as Jing'er, but from a collateral branch. Therefore, when she entered the palace, she was only a concubine.

Upon hearing this, Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief. If Ag was indeed the mastermind, dealing with her would be a piece of cake without Dayu'er's support.

Thinking of this, her mood brightened.

Before she knew it, she had returned to her palace. She had just sat down when Fu Lin pushed open the door and walked in. He went straight to Wan'er and looked at her with a deep gaze.

Seeing this, Qi Lan wisely took his leave.

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?" Fu Lin asked gently.

Wan'er avoided her gaze and smiled, "Your Majesty is asking a question you already know the answer to."

Fu Lin gently stroked her long hair. "Were you waiting for me?"

Wan'er nodded shyly, but she couldn't very well tell Fulin that she had just returned from Yongfu Palace.

Upon hearing this, Fu Lin's lips curled up slightly, and his gaze towards Wan'er softened even more.

In the bright candlelight, Wan'er appeared even more gentle and charming, as if she were a lady who had stepped out of a painting, untouched by worldly affairs.

When Wan'er saw him smile, she sensed something was wrong. Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, she saw him come closer.

Startled, she quickly turned her face away to avoid his intimacy.

"Your Majesty, I am tired," she said, pressing her forehead.

Seeing the weariness between her brows, Fu Lin didn't want to tease her anymore. He simply kissed the back of her hand and said, "Alright, let's rest early. I'm tired too."

After saying that, he lifted the covers and lay down.

Lying together through their clothes, Wan'er didn't resist, after all, this body wasn't her own.

She lay there quietly, but in her heart she was thinking about how to tell Fulin to move to another palace.

As she was thinking and about to speak, she heard Fu Lin breathing steadily; he had already fallen asleep.

She seemed truly exhausted, so Wan'er didn't bother to speak again. Instead, she closed her eyes and waited for dawn.

She slept soundly through the night. The next morning, when Wan'er opened her eyes, Fu Lin was already dressed and ready to go out.

Standing beside him was Yu Yan, who was carefully attending to Fu Lin as he washed and dressed. Thanks to that bottle of Beauty Jade Skin Cream, her skin had turned fair overnight, and her lips looked even redder and fuller against the backdrop of her fair complexion.

Wan'er glanced at Yu Yan and noticed that she was always intentionally or unintentionally sticking close to Fu Lin, her eyes filled with wantonness.

Yu Yan naturally noticed, but she pretended not to see it and focused on combing Fu Lin's hair.

After combing her hair, she stepped aside and waited for Fulin to go to court.

But Fulin only had eyes for Wan'er. After saying goodbye to Wan'er, he didn't even glance at Yu Yan before leaving. His back view was somewhat distant and indifferent, making people feel intimidated.

Yu Yan was very unhappy, especially when she saw the way Fu Lin looked at Wan'er with such tenderness and doting. Her jealousy surged like a tidal wave, and she wished she could tear Wan'er to pieces.

"I never expected you to have such thoughts," Wan'er thought coldly, her eyes filled with contempt and mockery.

But she didn't say it directly. Instead, she pretended to be confused and said, "I told you to rest well and not to come and serve me these next few days."

Yu Yan withdrew her displeased gaze and replied with a smile, "This servant was afraid that Your Highness was too tired from serving His Majesty, so I came to help."

Wan'er pursed her lips, "No one understands me better than Yu Yan." But in her heart she thought: There are plenty of palace maids and eunuchs serving the emperor, it doesn't matter if you're one more. Do you really think everyone else is stupid and can't see through it?
