Xiao Xixi transmigrated back to ancient times and became one of the Crown Prince's concubines.
This should have been the beginning of a palace struggle, but all she wanted was to be a ...

Chapter 1093 She can do anything! She can give anything!
Luo Qinghan: "Can you kill people?"
His tone was full of doubt.
It's not that he looked down on Princess Hua'an, but this princess had been living a life of luxury since she was a child. Not to mention killing someone with her own hands, she had never even killed a chicken.
But now she swears to kill the leader of Tianmen?
This is like a three-year-old child clamoring to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. It's hard to believe.
Princess Hua An gritted her teeth and said, "As a mother, I can do anything to protect my child, including killing people!"
Luo Qinghan looked at her steadily for a moment.
There was a resolute look in her eyes, as if she was ready to do whatever it takes.
Luo Qinghan: "Then let's try it as you said."
…
When Princess Hua'an walked out of the east warm room, the back of her clothes was already soaked with sweat.
She felt like she had just walked back from the gates of hell.
She was actually not sure she could convince the emperor to agree to the deal she proposed.
She had even prepared for the worst. If the emperor was really unwilling to give her a chance to atone for her crime, she would commit suicide on the spot and put an end to the matter with her life and blood.
The dagger hidden in her wide sleeves was the one she was going to use to end her life.
Although doing so would likely cause uninformed outsiders to mistakenly believe that the emperor had forced his aunt to death, which would in turn have an adverse impact on the emperor's reputation.
But she no longer thought about that.
As long as she can protect her family and children, she can do anything! She can give anything!
Fortunately, the emperor accepted the deal she proposed and was willing to give her one last chance.
Princess Hua'an let out a long sigh, and the heavy stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.
She met her son's worried and concerned gaze and smiled.
"It's alright, let's go home."
Xia Yifei observed her expression carefully. Although her complexion was still not very good, she looked much better than before.
It seems that the misunderstanding between her and the emperor has been resolved.
Xia Yifei felt relieved: "Okay, I'll help you down the stairs."
The mother and son left the palace in a carriage and returned to the Princess's Mansion.
Princess Hua'an instructed Xia Yifei.
"I may have to go out in a couple of days. Don't go out during this time. Stay home and study. Remember?"
Xia Yifei: "Where are you going?"
Princess Hua An: "I'm going to meet a very important person. If everything goes well, I should be back soon."
Xia Yifei couldn't help but ask, "But what if things don't go well?"
Princess Hua An smiled slightly and said, "It will definitely go smoothly."
…
It was at this time that the Yulin Guard delivered the secret letter to the palace.
Luo Qinghan did not let Eunuch Chang pass the letter on. He personally took the secret letter from Yulin Guard.
Open the envelope and take out two thin sheets of letter paper.
The first piece of paper had Fang Wujiu's handwriting on it.
He briefly recounted his discoveries in Lingtai County.
The second piece of paper was written in Xiao Xixi's handwriting.
This was the note she left at Yu's house, which Fang Wujiu stuffed into an envelope and sent to the emperor along with a secret letter.
Xiao Xixi's handwriting was so recognizable that Luo Qinghan recognized her handwriting at a glance.
Since she was able to leave a note, it means she is still safe.
Luo Qinghan read the note she wrote over and over again, as if he wanted to see the woman he missed deeply in his heart through those words.
He carefully put the note away and said to Eunuch Chang.
"Go call Zhao Xian over."
"Yes."
Soon Zhao Xian appeared in front of the emperor.
Luo Qinghan said: "The truth of Baofu's case has been revealed. Let's release those palace maids and female officials. This matter has come to an end for the time being."
Zhao Xian responded respectfully, "Yes."
Luo Qinghan: "Also, go and get ready. I will be leaving the palace in two days."
Zhao Xian's face changed slightly. It might not be appropriate for the emperor to leave the palace at such a sensitive time.
"It's not peaceful outside right now. If your majesty has any instructions, you can tell me and I will definitely help you get it done."
Luo Qinghan's voice turned cold: "I know what I'm doing, just follow my instructions."
Zhao Xian didn't dare to persuade him anymore and could only respond.
"I obey your command."
Afterwards, Luo Qinghan summoned the general in charge of the Thousand Machine Guards and ordered him to find out the origins of the Westerners hiding in Lingtai County as soon as possible and strictly monitor the movements of that group of Westerners.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Qinghan summoned King Ying Luo Yechen and the Minister of Personnel Li Qingyan.
The three of them held a secret meeting alone. The theme of the meeting was how to keep Chao Gang stable during the time when the emperor was away.
Most of the time, it was Li Qingyan who was talking, and Luo Qinghan occasionally expressed a few opinions. Luo Yechen couldn't get a word in and could only act as a listener obediently.
After the meeting, Luo Yechen returned to the palace with a heavy heart.
He waved his hand to dismiss everyone.
He and the princess were the only ones left in the room.
Luo Yechen frowned and said, "The emperor said he will leave Shengjing in two days. He hopes that during his absence, I can help deal with some urgent government affairs."
Bu Shengyan: "Haven't you always wanted to hold great power? Isn't the emperor's order exactly what you want? You should be happy."
If it were in the past, Luo Yechen would indeed be very happy.
He wished that Luo Qinghan would give up the throne as soon as possible!
But after going through so many things, he has grown a lot.
He said worriedly, "He can give me power so easily, which means he must have kept a backup plan. He is not afraid that I will take advantage of the opportunity to seize power."
Bu Shengyan raised her eyebrows, looking surprised.
"Hey, your little brain is finally getting smart!"
Luo Yechen blushed and said angrily, "What do you mean by that? Have I always been a dull person in your mind?!"
Bu Shengyan just smiled and said nothing.
In fact, she thought more than Luo Yechen.
The reason why the emperor could delegate power to Luo Yechen so decisively can be seen as being because he is confident that he can sit firmly on the throne and is not afraid that Luo Yechen will take the opportunity to seize power. It can also be seen as a test from the emperor.
He wanted to take this opportunity to test Luo Yechen and see if Luo Yechen could resist his greed and do his duty in the face of the power that was offered to him.
Once Luo Yechen crossed the line, it would be tantamount to giving the emperor an opportunity to deal with him openly.
What awaits Luo Yechen in the end will definitely not be a good ending.
Bu Shengyan did not say these words out loud.
She hoped that she was judging others by her own standards.
She hoped that Luo Yechen would still maintain his trust in family affection in his heart.
She hoped that Luo Yechen would never have to suffer any harm.
Luo Yechen didn’t think too much about it. He thought Bu Shengyan was making fun of him and was almost angry to death.
