Then, she asked him to help her from the outside so that she could quickly gain a foothold in the backyard.

Wanyan Ruhai frowned upon hearing this, "How could I possibly interfere in matters of the inner quarters?"

"You don't need to meddle in the affairs of the inner quarters. I can handle those myself. I just hope you can help me with some important matters." The transmigrated woman looked intently at Wanyan Ruhai.

Wanyan Ruhai roughly understood, but he was somewhat unwilling to believe it. He felt a dryness in his throat, swallowed hard, and hesitated before asking, "What do you mean by 'important matter'?"

The time-traveling woman uttered two incredibly powerful words with a mere flick of her lips: "The struggle for the throne!"

Even though I had just understood and had some time to process it, I was still so shocked by those two words that I felt weak all over and slumped into the chair.

Wanyan Ruhai hurriedly shook his head, his voice dry as he refused: "No, historically, the four were successful..."

“I know,” the time-traveling woman said, staring directly at Wanyan Ruhai, her words firm and resolute. “But history is not unchangeable. This morning, Emperor Kangxi issued an imperial edict to betroth that Niohuru clan member to a member of the imperial clan. History has already been changed.”

Wanyan Ruhai was speechless. Indeed, history had changed, and the Fourth Prince might not be able to ascend the throne.

Seeing that the other party's previous ideas had been shaken, the time-traveling woman immediately pressed on, saying, "Listen to what I'm about to say and see if it makes any sense."

Wanyan Ruhai nodded hesitantly.

"All the princes were of similar aptitude, which is why Kangxi found it difficult to choose who to succeed him, and that's why the struggle for the throne was so fierce."

Wanyan Ruhai nodded. He had dealt with all these princes before, and each of them was formidable.

Seeing that the other party agreed with her, the time-traveling woman became even more confident that she could persuade him to work for her. "There is a saying that Emperor Kangxi was too lenient in his later years, and the bureaucracy became severely corrupt, which is why he chose the strict Emperor Yongzheng to succeed him. However," the time-traveling woman made a sharp turn, "I believe that after the other princes ascended the throne, they would definitely also rectify the bureaucracy. After all, this is his country, and how can he consolidate his rule if he doesn't rectify the bureaucracy?"

Indeed, to put it another way, he likened the empire to his own family's business. If someone in his own family were to commit serious corruption, he wouldn't tolerate it after taking power and would definitely deal with it, Wanyan Ruhai thought to himself.

“Since we’re both from the past, with our abilities and long-term vision, if we both help the Fourteenth Prince, his power will definitely be stronger than in history, and he’ll have a better chance of winning the throne.” The woman from the past said excitedly, “Moreover, the Fourteenth Prince was in charge of the army during the late years of Emperor Kangxi. There’s a saying that goes, ‘Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.’”

Wanyan Ruhai was tempted. Seeing this, the transmigrated woman added fuel to the fire, "The struggle for the throne is very fierce. The fourteenth prince will definitely get involved. If he fails, even if you don't help him, you won't get any benefits and you will be implicated."

"Would it be?" Wanyan Ruhai asked rhetorically, seemingly disbelieving that he would be implicated, but his expression clearly showed that he did.

So obvious, the time-traveling woman naturally pressed her advantage, immediately saying, "You and I are cousins ​​in this life, both surnamed Wanyan, both living in the Wanyan Mansion, we can't be separated at all, you are my family. Think about the families of those princes and their wives who failed in the struggle for the throne in history books, which one of them had a good life?"

Wanyan Ruhai thought about it and realized it was true. Moreover, Yongzheng was known for being ruthless and ungrateful to his enemies. Just thinking about the consequences of being implicated made him shudder.

But they forgot that Yongzheng was very good to his own people. If he had not helped the Fourteenth Prince, but instead firmly helped the Fourth Prince and had not been a fence-sitter, he would never have been implicated.

Moreover, what do you mean by saying that the Fourteenth Prince is bound to get involved? Since history can be changed, then while the Fourteenth Prince hasn't yet developed ambitions or gotten caught up in the struggle for the throne, we can stop him and prevent him from getting involved.

Unfortunately, Wanyan Ruhai was led by the nose by the time-traveling woman.

"Done!" the transmigrated woman thought to herself with a smug look on her face.

Ultimately, Wanyan Ruhai still had some room for his own thinking.

"Wait, you seem to have overlooked something," he said, frowning at the transmigrated woman.

The time-traveling woman raised an eyebrow and asked lazily, "What's missing?"

“Yongzheng, oh, not yet,” Wanyan Ruhai continued, “It seems that there is also a time-traveling woman in the Fourth Prince’s mansion, that is, Consort Li who gave birth to Hongshi, ah, I misspoke again, she is now a concubine.”

The time-traveling woman said confidently, "You said it yourself, she's only a concubine now, but in history she was already a secondary consort. She's so incompetent, why should we worry about what ability she could possibly have to help the Fourth Prince?"

That's what she said, but deep down she was still wary. She was just putting on a show of contempt to fool her cousin.

After thinking about it, Wanyan Ruhai actually agreed with her statement.

Meanwhile, the Wanyan siblings continued to secretly discuss how to help the Fourteenth Prince in the main room. At the other end, in the Fourth Prince's residence, in the Peach Courtyard, Jiaming quickly received the news.

It was all thanks to her foresight; after discovering that there were two time travelers in the Wanyan Manor, she had Xiao Hezi set a trap early on.

It's so obvious that they sent all the servants out, leaving only two people in the room; they must be plotting something.

"However, what might our master and the others be plotting?" Xiao Hezi asked suspiciously.

Jiaming could certainly guess what the other party was plotting, after all, they both knew about the future.

Therefore, the options were either to win over the other party, or to discuss how to keep the Fourteenth Prince from participating in the succession struggle, or to deal with the Fourth Prince so that the Fourteenth Prince could also ascend the throne.

However, how could he tell Xiao Hezi this? Since he couldn't tell him, he shook his head and pretended not to know.

"So, how should we deal with them next?" Xiao He asked, frowning.

Jiaming stood up, paced a few steps in thought, then suddenly turned around, clapped her hands together, and said, "I've got it!" She could think of the possibility that they might join forces, and she didn't believe that Li Shi couldn't have thought of it either.

Xiao He was delighted to hear this and looked at Jiaming with a questioning gaze.

“We can do it this way,” Jiaming said, walking back to her seat and sitting down again. “The Li family also knows…”

Suddenly, she stopped, realizing she had almost let slip the secret about time travel. She quickly corrected herself, saying, "Anyway, you should have someone inform the Li family about this. They will take action, and we can just watch the show."

Xiao Hezi was still completely baffled, wondering why his master was so certain that Consort Li would make a move. Could it be that the Wanyan siblings...? Never mind, he wouldn't think too much about it. Since his master hadn't explained the situation to him, he didn't necessarily need to know. He would just do as his master said, since his master was always right.
