When Ruan Meiying found out, she was shocked. She did not expect that this matter would involve so many people, not only princes and officials, but also the emperor's uncle. This left her at a loss. She couldn't wait to see Ruan Dafeng and ask him what to do.
Ruan Meiying called a servant to help Hongshi to bed. Because Ruan Meiying's question stirred up Hongshi's "grievances" from the past few days, he made a fuss for a while. Ruan Meiying coaxed him for a long time before finally getting him to sleep.
Seeing Hongshi lying on the bed, Ruan Meiying called softly twice more. "Your Highness! Your Highness!" Seeing that Hongshi did not respond and confirming that he was asleep, Ruan Meiying got up from the bed, walked to the table, dismissed the servants, picked up a pen and wrote down everything Hongshi had said that day.
While she was writing the letter, Linlang had been keeping an eye on Ruan Meiying ever since she arrived at the Prince's Mansion, to see what she was up to.
Today, a servant told her that the Prince didn't even attend the morning court session this morning, but instead went to Ruan Meiying's place. This infuriated Linlang. Even when she was at her most favored, Hongshi never missed the morning court session because of her. Ruan Meiying had only been here for a few days, yet she already liked her so much. If this continued for a while, where would she have a place to stay in this mansion?
The cicadas outside kept chirping, and the already hot and humid weather, combined with the cicadas' noise, made Linlang even more irritable and restless.
The maid, Magpie, noticed Linlang's displeasure and cautiously said, "Master, there's something I'm unsure whether I should say." Linlang looked at her, knowing Magpie's unwavering loyalty, and nodded, "Speak freely!"
The magpie said, "Master, Ruan Meiying is currently favored by the emperor, which will hinder our plans! We must find a way to bring Prince back."
Linlang said, "I know! But what can I do? The Prince hasn't come here for so long."
Magpie continued, "Master, if we deal with Ruan Meiying, not only will the Prince be displeased, but the Princess Consort will also benefit from it. Why don't we let the two of them fight each other? No matter who loses, it will be beneficial to us, won't it?"
Linlang fell silent after hearing this. She hadn't cared about the Fujin before because even though she had the status of a Fujin, Hongshi loved her, and the Fujin could only be helplessly trampled under her feet. But now it was different. Ruan Meiying had come, and the Prince no longer wanted to pay attention to her. Now, the only way out was to get rid of Ruan Meiying.
Linlang looked at the magpie and asked, "What's your idea?"
Magpie walked to Linlang's side and whispered a few words in her ear. Linlang sneered, "What can we do? Let's see how long that Ruan Meiying can be so powerful!" Then her magpie said, "Let's not delay, let's go to the Fujin's place now."
At this time, Ruan Meiying was unaware that she had provoked Linlang's resentment to the extreme in her desire for revenge, and that the plot against her had begun step by step.
After finishing writing the letter, Ruan Meiying put it away, but then she became worried again. She already knew the mastermind behind the plan, but she had just gone to offer incense. How could she get the letter to her brother as soon as possible? This made her very anxious.
Suddenly, Ruan Meiying remembered that her brother had mentioned working at a restaurant called Baixianglou not far from the Prince's mansion! She could go there and deliver the letter to her brother!
