After Su Juan said this, Liu Miaoqing almost lost his grip on the jade pendant and nearly knocked over the teacup beside him.

She stared at Su Juan in a daze, even suspecting that she had heard it wrong, but the three words "Crown Princess" were definitely spoken by Su Juan.

Assisting Ajuan

She never thought that one day, the words "Crown Princess" would come out of Su Juan's mouth. It was obvious that in the past two years, she was still thinking about supporting the King of Han.

At this moment, she even doubted whether Su Juan was joking with her, but her expression was more serious than ever, which showed that none of the words she had just said were a joke.

She did have the ambition to compete for the throne, but when did it start? At the beginning, she even found it troublesome to go to court and just wanted to lie down every day.

The change between the two is really huge.

Su Juan was not surprised to see Liu Miaoqing's reaction. After all, this matter was as shocking as when Xie Xun suddenly said that he was the old emperor's son and wanted to be the crown prince.

"Miao Qing, your majesty has no intention of appointing a crown prince, and Song Qianfan is eyeing him covetously, and may even rebel. Since you want to choose someone from the royal family, why can't it be me?"

"You and I have both seen the tragic situation in Xuzhou that day. If you and I had power, perhaps we could have avoided more things. You and I are both worried and want to change. Now there is an opportunity to hold power in our own hands. Why not give it a try?"

Liu Miaoqing pursed her lips tightly. Ajuan was right. No matter whether King Han or King Jing ascended the throne, the Liu family would definitely be suppressed. By then, not to mention a woman like herself, even her father would find it difficult to gain a foothold in the court.

If Su Juan regains her status, a new situation will inevitably emerge in the court, which will be an opportunity for the Liu family.

Noticing that her expression was somewhat moved, Su Juan slowly held Liu Miaoqing's hand and said, "Miaoqing, neither of us wants to be trapped in the backyard. I understand the burden you bear, and you also understand me."

"When you lent me to the court, I knew you had great ambitions. Today I only ask you, are you willing to help me?"

Su Juan looked at Liu Miaoqing intently. If possible, she didn't want to force Miaoqing, but she needed help.

She thought that whether it was the King of Han, the Crown Prince of Han, or the King of Yong, they were all uncontrollable, and only by relying on herself could she control everything.

Only by restoring his identity can he enter the emperor's sight, win over people in the court to build momentum for himself, and only by holding real power can he sit on the throne of crown prince.

Liu Miaoqing's hand, which was tightly holding the jade pendant, was held by Su Juan. She looked at Su Juan and wanted to agree to her request, but she felt that she should not be so hasty. She should think about it carefully, at least until A Juan's identity was confirmed.

She covered Su Juan's hand with her other hand and said, "A Juan, please let me think about it carefully. This is not a trivial matter. I can't answer you now. I will give you a reply after my father confirms it."

Su Juan smiled, "Okay."

After sending Liu Miaoqing away, Shen Ruhui came out from the inner room, frowning slightly, "Aren't you afraid that she won't return the jade pendant after taking it away?"

That is the only thing that can prove Su Juan's identity at the moment.

Su Juan pursed her lips and smiled, "I know her. Even if Lord Liu intends to keep it, she will try her best to return it to me."

Then, she looked at Shen Ruhui, "What about you? What do you think?"

Last night, she went to find Shen Ruhui and told him her purpose. She arranged for him to be here today to listen to her conversation with Miao Qing so that he could understand it more clearly.

"I am now going to take a more difficult road than before. If you quit now, I will not make it difficult for you."

Shen Ruhui looked at her calmly, "Miss, you are honest and sincere. I will not let you down."

At this moment, he finally understood that what Liu Xuan said that day was all due to Su Juan's identity. If there was anyone in this world who could help him, it would undoubtedly be Su Juan in front of him.

Liu Miaoqing's steps were heavy when she left the Duke's Mansion carrying the jade pendant.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat had been waiting in the mansion, and was so anxious that he would send someone outside every half an hour to see if his daughter had returned.

Last night he sent people to check Su Juan's background, and found that it was consistent with the original findings. Her biological mother was indeed dead, and her father was the merchant named Su.

But he never expected that when he was investigating Su Juan, he overlooked the most crucial thing: Su Juan's biological mother!

I spent a lot of effort today to get a portrait of Li Ruohua. Fortunately, there were many people in Beijing who admired her at that time, so one or two paintings of this talented man and beautiful woman have been preserved.

As soon as he saw Li Ruohua in the portrait, he found that she looked 70% like Su Juan and he could tell at a glance that they were mother and daughter. The key point was that she looked so much like the emperor and the empress, especially the eyes in the painting, which looked very much like the current emperor.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat was so excited that he could not sit still. Why didn’t he realize before that Su Juan actually looked a lot like the Queen, and her eyes were also like His Majesty’s!

He could even imagine how happy His Majesty would be if he knew about this, and how shocked everyone in the court and the public would be if they knew about this.

Upon learning that Liu Miaoqing had returned, he walked out without stopping. When he saw his daughter, he quickened his pace and asked, "How is it?"

Liu Miaoqing nodded, "I have got the things. Please move to the study room, father. I have something to ask you."

"Okay, go to your father's study."

The Minister of the Central Secretariat couldn't wait to confirm Su Juan's identity. After arriving at the study, he urged Liu Miaoqing to take out the things quickly. When the jade pendant appeared in front of him, he held it carefully in his hands and looked at it carefully. He was so excited that his heart almost jumped out!

He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, with no intention of returning it to his daughter.

"My dear daughter, you just came back from Xuzhou. Take a good rest in the mansion today. Your father suddenly remembered that he had something to do and had to go to the palace."

Having said that, he was about to go out with the jade pendant and the scroll in his pocket!

Liu Miaoqing called out to him from behind, "Is your father's good friend His Majesty?"

The Minister of the Central Secretariat paused and stared at his daughter in a daze, "How did you know?"

Liu Miaoqing pursed her lips and said, "This jade pendant is the only thing that Ajuan's biological mother left her. She looks so much like the queen, and the Duke and the queen treat her so well, so she can naturally guess some of it. However, the Duke doesn't seem to want others to know her life experience."

The Minister of the Central Secretariat frowned, he knew that the old villain, the Duke of Ping, must have known about it a long time ago and made him look for it so hard, so he could settle the score with him later!

Liu Miaoqing clutched his sleeves and asked, "Father, have you ever thought about whether His Majesty will appoint a younger brother or a princess as the Crown Prince once Ajuan is restored to his status?"

"If the crown prince is enthroned, how will Ajuan cope with the situation?"

The Minister of the Central Secretariat frowned and said to his daughter in a deep voice, "You and I are subjects. As subjects, we should be loyal to our duties. It is also the duty of subjects to find the royal bloodline for Your Majesty."

He knew that his daughter was worried about Su Juan's situation, but since Su Juan was His Majesty's bloodline, she should not be left to live among the common people.
