Jiang Ling had a gloomy face as she listened to the system's introduction of this side quest.
[This side quest is to rescue Wanran. Bring Wanran back to the mansion to care for him, protect him, and become his close friend. Upon completing this quest, you will receive 5,000 taels of silver.]
OK, OK.
What a rescue.
What a good care.
What a good friend.
Jiang Ling now really wanted to beat herself to death for taking the shortcut.
She sighed and told Xiaojia and Xiaoyi: "Help him over here first."
Smiling inwardly, he asked sillyly, "Do you know Wanran's identity?"
Hu Hu was startled and blinked: "Isn't she the dancer from Ruyifang?"
Jiang Ling looked at it and said, "Okay, you clearly know it!"
Still playing dumb with her.
"Don't try to hide it from me." She said bitterly, "He is not just a dancer."
Foxy's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked tentatively, "Hahaha, really? What does the host know?"
Jiang Ling glanced at it and said nothing.
She raised her eyes and asked Zizhen, "I still remember that I fell in love with a garden two years ago and secretly bought it. Have you been taking care of it?"
Zizhen replied, "I have been sending people to clean up. Miss, would you like to go and take a look?"
"Well, by the way, please ask a doctor to come over." She pointed at Wanran who was placed on the edge of the carriage, "Please come over quietly and treat him."
Zizhen was stunned for a moment, wanting to ask if the young lady was planning to keep him outside, but she didn't dare to ask and just agreed obediently.
The young lady just got married to Mr. Zhou, so what's wrong with keeping a mistress?
Moreover, on the birthday, I saw that the young lady liked the dancer very much. As long as it can make the young lady happy, nothing is impossible.
Somehow a few years ago, buying real estate became a trend in Beijing, and I joined in the fun and bought one without telling anyone, thinking that if I was wronged one day, I could run away from home and take shelter in that small courtyard.
But after a few days, she forgot about this yard. Fortunately, Zizhen and the others always wanted to help her take care of it.
Jiang Ling leaned in the carriage, sighing constantly.
Those small-time soldiers and generals of the previous dynasty have always wanted to restore the Dashun Dynasty. They have made many troubles and tried their best to find the royal family left behind by the previous dynasty.
At that time, the world was in chaos and wars were frequent, so there was not enough energy to take care of them. Feng Gan did not want to implicate the entire family with the sins of the previous emperor, so he showed kindness and dismissed everyone, making them commoners.
This gave an opportunity to those who wanted to restore the Dashun Dynasty. They wanted to find direct royal bloodlines and regain power with more legitimate reasons.
The book says that although the late emperor showed mercy, members of the royal family were scattered everywhere, and many died in the midst of hard work. The only direct descendants left were an unfavored prince and a princess.
The prince was born to a beautiful girl from a small family who was favored by the previous dynasty's foolish emperor. The girl was lucky but not too lucky. She became pregnant with the prince in just one night, but died of dystocia. The prince was not favored and had no support from his maternal family, so no one cared about him and he was raised casually in the palace.
No one cared about poetry, books and scriptures, and he didn't care about them. Instead, he loved singing, dancing and music more. He often discussed with music masters and had talent in this area, but was regarded as inferior by officials and ministers, and was always a negative example among the princes.
It is not known whether it is fortunate or unfortunate for him. Now that Dashun has been destroyed, those people have remembered him and want to support him as the new emperor.
Jiang Ling sighed and looked helplessly at the pale Wanran.
If she guessed correctly, this person was the orphan of the royal family of the previous dynasty.
Foxy listened to her thoughts quietly, her mouth wide open in shock.
"Host... Host, how did you guess that?"
Jiang Ling glanced at it and said, "The book says that the prince was beautiful and strange, and was especially good at dancing. Although the author didn't say it explicitly at the time, he hinted that they found him in the music house by using his birthmark, and that he was given the pseudonym of a two-character dancer."
"It's Wanran." She sighed.
She had some suspicions on her birthday, but she wasn't sure.
Because the prince's birthmark was on the inside of his right elbow, she took the opportunity to check when his sleeve slipped down while he was dancing, and found that it was not there.
Only now...
Jiang Ling looked at the clear peach-shaped birthmark under her folded and dirty sleeves and closed her eyes uncomfortably.
Fox's eyes sparkled: "Host is so smart!"
Following such a host, it will definitely get a promotion and a raise!
Jiang Ling, however, was not happy at all. "I don't want to be involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty at all. I only have one life, and I want to live well."
Wanran is the target of that group of people's search. What if they find out that she has hidden it and they get angry and kill her?
And her current identity is Jiang Ling, the daughter of Prince Jingnan, who wants to become the Prime Minister's daughter-in-law. She even has a future sister-in-law who will be the empress, and a future husband who will be the emperor's right-hand man...
Any one of these identities would be fatal.
Now that she knows Wanran's identity, will she tell it or not?
If so, how did she know?
Tell them plainly that she guessed it from what was written in the book?
If she didn't tell him, she would just watch helplessly as the two groups of people from the previous dynasty and her father fought over Wanran without giving any warning?
"well--"
She sighed heavily.
He looked at Silly with resentment, "It's all your fault."
Her peaceful and beautiful life has been filled with so many hardships.
"Don't worry, host. Fox will help you and won't let your life be in danger." Fox shook his tail.
