“But I’m serious.” Wan Ge moved closer to him, her breath brushing against his neck. “If Your Highness desires it, I can grant it.”
"You don't need to do that, I will cooperate with you." Zi Shuyan was not an easy person to talk to, but she did not refer to herself as "this palace" in front of her, nor did she intend to refuse her request.
He didn't know why, but he felt a surge of joy upon seeing the woman before him.
He seemed willing to do anything to help her achieve her goals, regardless of the cost.
Even if there were no benefits, he had already agreed in his heart the moment she said it.
"Then I thank Your Highness in advance. Does Your Highness have any other requests?"
"Not at the moment." Zi Shuyan looked away, not daring to look directly at the other person.
"Alright, then I'll leave first. If Your Highness has any other requests, please let me know." After saying this, Wan Ge moved closer to him and finally kissed him on the cheek before leaving.
Zishu Yan froze on the spot, and after a long while, his hand slowly moved up and landed on his cheek.
But he quickly regained his senses. What was he thinking? He was living as a woman now, did she even realize that? Or was it that for the sake of her goals, it didn't matter whether she was male or female?
Zishu Yan took a deep breath and summoned her shadow guard, ordering him to investigate what exactly happened between Wan Ge and Zishu Tang at the vocational school, and why she was so eager to cooperate with her, even at the cost of her own life.
The shadow guards were unaware of the princess's inner thoughts; they only brought a pile of information they had gathered after the princess spoke.
This was already discovered long ago; after all, they investigate everyone around the princess.
They initially found the marriage somewhat strange, and upon investigation, discovered the two were business partners. They intended to inform the Princess, but she showed no interest and didn't allow them to report it.
Now that Her Highness the Eldest Princess has suddenly brought it up, he simply gave her all the information he had previously investigated.
Of course, besides what was found at that time, there are also cases from recent years, and I've only made a record of the more important ones. However, the recent cases haven't been fully reported yet, so we'll have to wait. They will definitely appear before the Princess before tomorrow.
After hearing the other party finish speaking, and that the recent events would be placed on his desk before sunrise the next day, Zi Shuyan nodded and dismissed the other party, then picked up the old documents.
…
Zishu Yan deduced from the information that the two were partners, and all their affection was a pretense. Zishu Tang seemed to stay at her place every night, but in reality, he always went to see Yun Mei through a secret passage.
Zishu Tang had someone else in his heart, so he hadn't touched Wan Ge all these years.
However… judging from this information, although Zishutang has no interest in Wan Ge, it is possible to sense that Wan Ge has feelings for him, or perhaps even likes him.
So what happened recently that made her hate him?
Zi Shuyan looked at the portrait in front of her, her fingertips slowly tracing its surface, and said in a deep voice, "She was using you from the very beginning, so what exactly did you like about her back then?"
What exactly did Zishu Tang do to make you hate him so much?
…
The next morning, Zishu Yan woke up to find something on the table. Upon opening it and seeing its contents, she felt a pang of sadness.
So, did she suddenly realize she'd been deceived? Or did she truly realize that Zishu Tang didn't like her, and wouldn't like her in the future?
He even loathed her, so he could just watch her die.
However, his people discovered a rather strange phenomenon: it was as if the other party suddenly knew about this matter. They did not detect Wan Ge's second force in the palace, even though her first force, Zi Shutang and Zi Shuyan, were aware of it.
But he didn't even know about her so-called second force?
However, it's true that Prime Minister Chang has arranged assassins around her. But none of them have seen them; perhaps it's this very force.
Zishu Yan also understood that what Wan Ge said was true. If she really wanted to help him become emperor, there would be absolutely no problem with it.
Even without military power, with Prime Minister Chang's abilities, he could still put up a fight. Moreover, he does have military power. If the two of them join forces, that good-for-nothing Zishutang is nothing to fear.
