Yan Nangui patted her on the back: "It's alright, I'm here. I will avenge my mother."

Lan Xiangyi nodded, though she thought to herself that it would be difficult for the two women to accomplish anything, but she didn't say anything.

Actually, she gave those letters to Yan Nangui, hoping that she would leave the Meng family. She had long seen that the Meng family was not a kind family, and if she got into it any deeper, she would probably lose her life.

Although becoming the Crown Prince's concubine is not a good thing, Yan Nangui will not lose her life for the sake of the General.

This is her love and care for her niece as an aunt.

Yan Nangui understood this perfectly, and was even more grateful to her because of it.

"My son, how did you know so accurately that Her Majesty the Empress would be in such a hurry? If it had been a day later, it might not have been possible."

“Aunt doesn’t know, although I was engaged to the Meng family as soon as I came of age, it was not my own intention. I was ignorant at the time. It was all the work of Princess Rongning and Madam Wang of the Meng family. At that time, it was the time for the Crown Prince to choose a consort. How could Princess Rongning dare to let me enter the Crown Prince’s residence? Given my background, I would definitely become the Crown Princess if I entered the residence. That’s why she used sweet words to push Meng Junxian forward.”

It was at that time that the original owner was young and was easily fooled by Meng Junxian into believing him.

"The Empress missed me back then, but now she has the opportunity, even though I am a second wife. Becoming a concubine for the Crown Prince is nothing. The Empress is more afraid that Rong Ning will interfere. Naturally, the sooner the better. Even if His Majesty finds out, he cannot offend the Ye family over such a small matter. Besides, on the surface, the Crown Prince has never done anything wrong. It is not a bad thing for me, the eldest daughter of a first-rank general, to become his concubine. It is just a concubine, His Majesty will not care."

“My son, your calculations are correct. But I’m also afraid that one day, the Crown Prince will truly fail, and what will happen then?” Lan Xiangyi sighed.

Although Rong Ning was the wife of a great general, she did not take sides when she first came to the Yan family.

Secondly, she supported the second prince more.

Over the years, the princes have been constantly fighting each other.

After the eldest prince passed away, the second prince became the eldest and was always the emperor's favorite child.

Although he was the crown prince, he was the fifth son in his family and had been out of favor with the empress for many years. Naturally, his life was not easy.

Although he has a powerful maternal family, there are many princes who all want to bring him down. How can he sit still so easily?

“Aunt, if the Crown Prince fails, then it is our fate. Besides him, who else can understand why we shouldn’t befriend Princess Rongning?” Yan Nangui said.

Yes, this is the only way.

"You've suffered so much," Lan Xiangyi sighed.

Lan Xiangyi entered the palace the day before yesterday. She didn't speak directly, but only cried in front of the Empress. She said that after the divorce, she didn't know what would happen to the child. The Eldest Princess was powerful, and she, as her aunt, couldn't help. She could only ask the Empress for assistance.

The Empress even shed tears with him, saying only, "Don't worry, I will naturally find a way."

And so it turned out. The poor young woman, despite all her scheming, ended up as someone's concubine.

Thinking about this only fueled his hatred for those people: the Meng family, Rong Ning, and the Yan family.

If they hadn't been so bad, how could her sister have died?

"Revenge can't be rushed. Aunt, just live your life well from now on. We need to plan carefully," Yan Nangui said, seeing through her thoughts.

Lan Xiangyi nodded and sighed, now believing it a bit more than before.

Lady Xinyang could not stay here overnight, so she naturally had to go back.

After seeing off her reluctant aunt, Yan Nangui naturally needed to rest again first.

Your health is the most important thing.

Meanwhile, Rong Ning entered the palace and successfully met the current emperor, Shu Zhongjing.

"Brother!"

"Alright! She's just a concubine. The General has three daughters, would he care about one who's a concubine?" His Majesty sighed. "It's too late now. You stopped her back then, preventing her from becoming the principal wife. Now she's just a concubine who's been married twice. What can you do? You've raised your daughter like a fool. She'll be worn out in a few years after she enters the manor."

“But she’s so beautiful, what if she gets favored?” Rong Ning retorted.

"So what? You yourself said that with her health like that, even being favored doesn't guarantee she can bear children. What are you afraid of? And don't always act like that with the Empress. Behind the Empress is the Ye family, the lineage of the Duke of Ye. I'm in a difficult position too. Now that she has issued the imperial decree, am I supposed to take it back? If I show her such disrespect, how can the Ye family let this go?"

In the end, Rong Ning could only leave the palace with resentment.

Now that things have come to this, what else can she do? If she goes any further, how will she explain it to Yan Lingyun?

He doted on his children with his legal wife, and thinking of this made Rong Ning very angry.

Hmph, just wait and see. So what if she latches onto the Crown Prince? She still ends up in the same boat.

She was confident, but she was a little annoyed.

The Meng family was utterly shocked; they never imagined that the woman would be entering the Crown Prince's residence so soon after their divorce.

The Meng family had been hoping that Rong Ning would bring Yan Nan back, but things have turned out this way in the blink of an eye.

"Good heavens, what should we do?" The old lady was dizzy.

Meng Junxian was furious, not only worried but also filled with hatred.

What a fine way to say it! They just got divorced, and he's already going to the Crown Prince's residence? Isn't this just telling the world that Meng Junxian is being cuckolded?

But the other party is the Crown Prince, what could he possibly say?

The Meng family panicked and sent three more people south, daring not to send any more messages.

Meanwhile, in Fengxiang Palace, the Empress said softly, "Don't blame your mother for being autocratic; this matter is actually beneficial to you."

"How could that be? My mother is devoted to me, I naturally understand." With a pair of well-defined hands, she peeled an orange and placed it on a white porcelain plate.

At the same time, a magnetic and pleasant voice came through.

This is none other than Shu Chengfeng, the fifth son of Emperor Jingxun of the Dayan Dynasty and the current Crown Prince.

He came from the Empress's palace and was of noble birth.

Every gesture he made exuded royal dignity and refinement. He simply smiled and said, "Mother, there's no need to worry too much. In any case, it's a gesture of goodwill towards General Zhen'an. There are always benefits to it."

Yan Lingyun was the Marquis of Zhen'an and a first-rank general. Therefore, many people called him the General of Zhen'an.

"Yes, the Meng family really tormented her to death. According to her aunt's tearful account, she almost lost her life. Once she enters the Crown Prince's residence, if you treat her even slightly better, she will naturally be grateful. Don't be fooled by the fact that Marquis Zhen'an is often away from the capital; he and Lady Lan were truly in love back then. It was only because Rong Ning, relying on her status as a princess, forced her way in as a secondary wife that things came to this. Only after Lady Lan's death did things turn out this way. How could Marquis Zhen'an not care about the children Lady Lan bore?"

Shu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will naturally obey."

There was not a trace of displeasure on his face, at least the Empress knew that he was not displeased.

The Empress smiled and said, "It's not easy for you and me these days. Just hang in there and wait for you to make it. Then, even if I go to the underworld to see your elder brother, I will be at ease."
