Thinking that Geng Youran had received so much attention despite entering the palace at the same time, Tao Hua told Lü Yao about it, hoping to use Lü Yao to dampen Geng Youran's arrogance.

As for Lü Yao, firstly, she already had a grudge against Geng Youran, and secondly, she also liked the eldest prince.

So she thought she could take this opportunity to squeeze out Geng Youran and at the same time use Qingzhi to get more exposure in front of Consort Hui and the First Prince.

After listening to Xinyi's analysis, Geng Youran fell silent.

She never expected that her original plan was to stay in Yanxi Palace peacefully for three years before leaving, but that there would be so much trouble in just Yanxi Palace.

Ultimately, it's all the fault of power.

Seeing Xinyi's calm analysis of her situation, Geng Youran felt a little guilty.

Although she was friends with both Xinyi and Taohua, she actually preferred Taohua a little more in her heart.

Xinyi has a sharp tongue; sometimes her words can leave people speechless.

Tao Hua is sweet-talking and much more perceptive than Xin Yi.

She never expected that it was Tao Hua who plotted against her, and it was Xin Yi who helped her find out the truth.

"Okay, I've told you everything I found out. What do you plan to do next?"

Geng Youran smiled calmly:

"They thought they could profit by sowing discord among others. But they didn't realize that a lie is a lie, and the most dangerous weapon is the truth."

Geng Youran propped herself up on her arms, took Xinyi's hand,

"Thank you for doing so much for me. I'll talk to Sister Qingzhi. As for Lüyao and Taohua, they won't succeed."

"What exactly do you want to do, and what do you need me to do?"

Geng Youran smiled and shook her head.

“No need. Sister Qingzhi only has a grudge against me because of the First Prince, so I will just tell her the truth. As for Lüyao, she just wants to win in front of the First Prince, so let’s not stop her. As for Taohua, she just wants to compete with me, so let her lose once and see where she is lacking.”

Xinyi didn't know what else to say, so she told Geng Youran to take good care of herself and then left.

Only now did Geng Youran realize that her life in the Forbidden City had just begun.
