It's a pity, I never intended to save her from the beginning.
Jiang Wan wasn't interested in the contents of the letter and put it aside.
When evening came, Shi Xu finally disguised himself as a servant and went to the door.
The news he brought took Jiang Wan by surprise.
"What do you mean the tiger tally has been restored to its original state?"

I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach..."
As he spoke, he suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "...Your Highness!"

Why would the rumor of General Song's spirit appearing out of nowhere suddenly spread?
Very few people could stir up rumors in the palace and influence Emperor Jingyuan's decisions.
