Shen Jiajia was closest to the piece of paper. She squinted at it for a long time, her eyes gleaming with undisguised joy: "It really is a clue! This tells the story of that princess!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Shichuan urged, "Then tell me quickly, I'm so anxious because I can't see clearly."
Shen Jiajia picked up the Xuan paper, looked at it carefully for a long time, and slowly said, "This describes how the Princess Consort was the most beautiful and unique woman in the Qihe Dynasty. She had many strange ways of making money and even advanced ways of governing the country. Her excellence attracted the attention of the Crown Prince and the Regent. However, the Princess Consort liked the Crown Prince, and the Regent forced her to marry him in order to get her. This made the Crown Prince, who had always avoided her, furious. He opposed the Regent at every turn. However, the Regent's power at that time had reached the point where even the Emperor dared not oppose him. So, after the Emperor learned that the Crown Prince was targeting the Regent, he cruelly deposed the Crown Prince and demoted him to a commoner. Without the status of Crown Prince, the Regent easily killed the Crown Prince. The Princess Consort, who lost her beloved, could not bear this result and also committed suicide for love."
Gu Shichuan sighed, "So this is what happens when lovers end up as graves."
Gu Tingyan rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "If you don't want to sigh, you don't have to."
Shen Jiajia said indignantly, "I feel that this princess didn't die because two men liked her too much, but rather she was a victim of the power struggle in the palace!"
Shen Yi nodded slightly: "That is a point that can be considered."
Lu Yanli noticed that Lu An'an had been frowning the whole time, and asked, "Little sister, what are you thinking about?"
Lu An'an clutched her wedding dress, her tone complicated: "So... are we playing the ghost or a stand-in now?"
After a long silence, Jiang Shiwen finally spoke: "It should be a stand-in, possibly even a combination stand-in."
Gu Shichuan didn't quite understand: "A combination of stand-ins? What does that mean?"
Lu Yanli picked up the conversation, his tone carrying a subtle, indescribable quality: "It means that we may have become fragments of a perfect image in the mind of that regent, with eyes, nose, mouth, and so on, pieced together to form a face."
Jiang Shiwen nodded slightly, his thin lips pursed, "Mm."
Gu Shichuan gasped: "Such suffocating love!"
[Handsome66: This is terrifying to think about! A collection of spare parts?]
[The escaped mother monkey of Flower Fruit Mountain: Is this queen a modern person who traveled from the past?]
[The tonsils never speak: The fact that the Regent married in the imperial palace is quite intriguing.]
[Lonely Widow: I'm so curious, which guest plays this perverted regent? Come on up here!]
Lu An'an turned to Shen Jiajia and asked, "Jiajia, is this the end?"
Shen Jiajia nodded: "Yes, just write about the princess committing suicide for love."
Upon hearing this, Lu An'an continued to search around the main hall. "Let's keep looking. There should still be clues. What was the Regent's reaction after the Princess's death? What did he do? Why did he marry so many Princesses in the Golden Palace? The reason hasn't come out yet."
The group dispersed to continue searching for clues.
The atmosphere was quiet when suddenly the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the main hall.
"The Imperial Advisor has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled and hurriedly squatted back down, their veils flying everywhere.
The moment the palace doors opened, Gu Shichuan, who hadn't even picked up his veil yet, quickly lifted his skirt and placed it on his head, pretending to be nonchalant.
Lu An'an caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, and her lips twitched.
Isn't this a bit too hasty? The veil is still lying on the ground.
As the doors of the main hall closed, silence returned to the hall.
Lu An waited quietly. Suddenly, within the limited space of her vision, a pair of exquisite boots came into view. Then, a pair of hands reached out and slowly entered her line of sight. A clear, cold voice rang out in the hall: "Little beauty, no, flower girl, no, never mind, stand up."
Everyone: "???"
Is he a legitimate imperial advisor?
Lu An'an: "..."
【No way?】
She didn't reach out, but tentatively asked, "Has the light boat already passed ten thousand mountains?"
The Imperial Advisor replied, "The Wumeng Mountains are connected to mountains beyond mountains."
Lu An'an abruptly lifted her veil, stood up, and upon seeing the Imperial Advisor's face, exclaimed in disbelief, "Xi Zhilang, the Big Bad Wolf?"
The Imperial Advisor calmly replied, "Each section is stronger than the last."
Lu An'an was thrilled. She hugged the Imperial Advisor tightly and exclaimed excitedly, "Xia Yuhe! I've missed you so much!"
Xiao Ningning patted Lu An'an on the back, also very happy: "Your Majesty, I've finally met you!"
Lu Yanli and the others who witnessed this scene were all bewildered.
I can understand every single word, but why does it feel like they're having an encrypted conversation when they're put together?
[I don't care about the egg yolk: Please turn on your microphone to communicate.]
[Sexy Female Cockroach: I never make encrypted calls; it probably has something to do with my upbringing.]
[The leader of the night owls: I only wish your heart were like mine; if you don't understand, it breaks my heart.]
Lu An'an hugged Xiao Ningning and bounced three times, but before she could finish being excited, Jiang Shiwen, who had walked over at some point, forcibly separated them.
Jiang Shiwen stepped between the two, warily shielding Xiao Ningning behind him. He looked at Lu An'an with the eyes of someone looking at a love rival, and asked Xiao Ningning behind him, "Sister, do you two know each other?"
Lu Yanli followed closely behind Lu An'an and asked sourly, "Little sister, are you quite familiar with that boy's sister?"
Lu An'an and Xiao Ningning acted almost simultaneously, pulling aside the two people blocking their way, and said in unison:
"Get up, you're blocking my and my beloved concubine's intimate moments."
"Get out of the way, you're blocking my way from expressing my longing for Your Majesty."
