I bent over the wall of my house under the cover of darkness, and climbed over it skillfully. Xiao Huan followed me breathlessly, her face pale with nervousness.

"Miss, where are we going? It's so late at night, we've been discovered..."

"What are you afraid of? Is there any place in the capital that I dare not go to?" I patted her shoulder in a relaxed manner and said in a low voice, "Let's go meet the current crown prince, Li Chengqian, tonight."

Xiao Huan covered her mouth in surprise and almost cried out: "What?! Miss, are you sure? Going...going to the East Palace? This will be discovered, but you will be killed!"

I rolled my eyes at her and said, "Why are you panicking? Do you think I am the kind of lady who would do things without considering the consequences? I have my own way."

When I say "method", I mean to use reading skills. Since I traveled to this ghost world, my greatest asset has been this "special ability". Thanks to it, I can thrive in the ancient times full of intrigues.

After hiding all the way, I finally arrived at the East Palace. I looked up at the tall palace wall, and a sneer appeared on the corner of my mouth. Li Chengqian, you tried every means to get me here, isn't it just because you are attracted by my wealth and talent? Today I will accompany you to have fun.

I took out a packet of powder from my pocket and handed it to Xiaohuan: "Sprinkle this at the door."

"What is this?" Xiaohuan pinched her nose, looking disgusted, "Why does it smell so bad?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just do it if I tell you to."

Xiao Huan did not dare to disobey, pinching her nose and sprinkling the powder at the gate of the East Palace. After a while, a few wild cats came running over following the smell, surrounding the gate of the East Palace and scratching and clawing. The originally quiet night was suddenly filled with cat calls.

I covered my mouth and giggled, this powder is the "enhanced version of cat mint" specially developed by me, let alone a few cats, even a tiger would lie down obediently after smelling it.

As expected, the noise quickly alarmed the guards of the East Palace. They opened the door, but before they could figure out what was going on, they were knocked down by several crazy wild cats, who were scratching them and making them scream.

I took advantage of the chaos and pulled the little ring, and slipped into the East Palace with a cat-like waist.

"Miss, where are we going now?" Xiaohuan looked around nervously, afraid of being discovered.

I closed my eyes and carefully felt Li Chengqian's thoughts. Very good, he was reviewing memorials in the study, with only a personal eunuch serving him.

I took Xiaohuan and walked to the study room with ease. Through the window paper, I could clearly see Li Chengqian sitting at the desk, his brows furrowed, looking as if he had a lot on his mind.

I winked at Xiaohuan, signaling her to wait here, then gently opened the door and walked in.

Hearing the noise, Li Chengqian raised his head and saw me. He was stunned at first, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Qingya, what are you doing?"

I smiled slightly, walked up to him, and deliberately lowered my voice and said, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I'm visiting you late at night to assassinate you?"

Li Chengqian laughed loudly when he heard this: "Qingya is joking, what can't be said between you and me? You came here so late at night, is there something important?"

My eyes fell on the memorial he placed on the table, and I asked casually, "Your Highness, you seem to be troubled recently. I wonder what could have troubled you so much?"

Li Chengqian sighed, put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Father's health is getting worse day by day..."

My head was shocked. Could it be...
