Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

"Princess."

A black figure suddenly appeared in the dim hall, startling Ji Lan and Hanzhi.

Yiman opened his eyes and sat up straight, "Why are you back?"

Bai Yi stood up from the shadows and said, "Princess, my subordinates can no longer protect you in the dark."

Yiman responded, "I know, please leave quickly. There is no need to go out of your way to say goodbye."

Bai Yi lowered his head, "My subordinates have returned to the leadership and will follow the eldest princess to Shatuo Kingdom."

Yiman raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

"The eldest princess will not sell her subordinates, so the subordinates have decided to serve the eldest princess from now on."

What is the reason for this?
Yiman pursed his lips and smiled, "I won't go to Shatuo Kingdom, don't worry. Since you have moved to the open air, you will live next to my inner room, just in time -"

"Who--"

Only an afterimage was left, and Bai Yi flew out of the window.

After a few breaths, Bai Yi flew back.

"There was someone just now, but my subordinates didn't catch him."

At this time, her martial arts skills were even higher than Bai Yi's. Could it be that she was sent by the emperor to find out her movements?
Yiman looked out the window with a solemn expression, but he had doubts in his heart, and continued: "Since we can't catch him, it's not our business. You can live in the side hall next to my inner room first, so that you can protect me more conveniently."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

After Bai Yi retreated, Ji Lan poured another bowl of warm sugar water and said, "Princess, it's almost dawn, why don't you lie down for a while."

Yiman closed his eyes, "You all guessed it, the emperor asked me to go to Shatuo Kingdom to get married."

Ji Lan and Hanzhi looked at each other, frowned, and remained silent.

Yiman's fingers kept tapping on the table, and footsteps came from the hall.

"My lord, please see the eldest princess."

Yiman raised his eyelids and sighed in his heart, "Youping, if I leave the palace, I will take you away with me. Then you can go back to Gaoyang Army."

Cheng Youping's gentle face showed a look of rejection, "Princess, I won't leave. I said that day that I would be loyal to the eldest princess, but the eldest princess didn't believe it?"

When you are in a dangerous situation, you naturally have to hold on to everything you can to survive.

How can you believe the words that are meant to save your life?

Yiman pondered for a while, "Miss Cheng, you are the first feudal town family member to enter the palace and become a hostage. It can be said that every feudal town is now watching the movements of Gao Yangjun. If you can return to Gaoyang Jun, it will be beneficial to Gaoyang Jun. Disadvantages, you have to think about it carefully. I am now in a desperate situation and can no longer protect you, so you don’t have to put your thoughts on me."

Cheng Youping smiled softly, "Does the eldest princess think that my daughter must do everything for Gao Yangjun and consider her brother?"

Yiman lowered his eyes and looked at Cheng Youping.

"My daughter has been in the army since she was a child. Gaoyang's army often attacks bandits. When my brother is away, my daughter sits in the army. When my brother is here, my daughter is in charge of supplies and food. Over the years, my daughter has devoted herself to Gaoyang's army. , I have been with him through life and death several times, and I am no longer ashamed of Gao Yangjun. I also want to do something for myself, rather than living for the hopes of others."

Yiman's mind moved slightly, and he sat upright with solemn eyes, "Then what do you want to do?" The gentle Cheng Youping seemed to be full of vitality and firm belief, and the light in her eyes seemed particularly bright in the dim palace.

"My daughter wants to be the governor of a state or county."

His eyes flashed, "Why the governor? Do you know that a woman can only be a female official in the inner palace?"

"When I was young, I often saw mountain bandits causing trouble, but most of the governors just tried to deal with it, or did nothing at all. The people were affected by the disaster, fled everywhere, and were in panic all day long. Even if the army went to suppress the bandits and pursue them, it would be difficult to cure them. The reason for the emergence of mountain bandits and rogues lies in the local people's livelihood and official governance. I want to be the governor to fundamentally solve the problem, change the situation, and protect the people."

Yiman lowered his eyelashes to hide his rising emotions, "I didn't expect you to be such a simple person. Such ideas are so bold and naive. There is no precedent for a woman to be a foreign minister in this dynasty. I am in a desperate situation and cannot help you." "

Cheng Youping smiled slightly and said, "If the eldest princess thought that such an idea was impossible, she would not have intervened in the New Deal reform and facilitated the entry of the minister into the palace as a hostage."

Yiman slowly raised his eyes and stared at Cheng Youping. Cheng Youping lowered his head slightly and continued: "The eldest princess is just trapped in Qingsi Palace, not in her mood. If my daughter's prediction is correct, the eldest princess should want to go out in person. The palace is looking for evidence. My daughter is willing to be the eldest princess's substitute and stay in the Qingsi Palace."

"You guessed me so accurately, are you not afraid of blood splattering now?"

"The eldest princess is not such a person, otherwise, everyone in the Qingsi Palace would not swear to follow her to the death."

"Why did you choose me as your backer? Is it possible that you still expect me to ascend the throne as emperor one day and let you be the governor of a state?"

"My daughter can only come into contact with the eldest princess, and only the eldest princess will believe my arrogant words. The prince and the young emperor are both very close to you. No matter what happens in the future, you will be one of the people who stand at the pinnacle of power. .”

Yiman lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, shaking his head slightly, "You are willing to tell the truth. You want to use me to gain the power of Qianlong."

"So, I ask the eldest princess to give me a chance. I am willing to stand in for the eldest princess in the Qingsi Hall until the eldest princess returns after proving her innocence."

"Aren't you afraid that as soon as I leave the palace, the sky will be high and the sea will be vast?"

Cheng Youping smiled, feeling extra confident, "With Gao Yangjun here, the eldest princess can't."

Yiman burst out laughing, "Hanzhi, Ji Lan, I'll take Bai Yi out of the palace. During this period, you help Youping hide her identity. If someone summons you, wear a veil if you can't hide. Hanzhi, you will hide her identity." The makeup is close to me.”

"Yes."

Yiman grabbed Bai Yi's belt and moved, feeling like someone was staring at her, coldly.

However, Bai Yi was really fast. With a few moves and a tap of his feet, he moved around the palace gate guard room.Not only did it not alert the Yulin guards below, but no hidden guards came out to stop him.

Bai Yi pressed Yiman's shoulders to steady her swaying figure.

"Princess, in front is the guard room at the palace gate."

Yiman nodded and looked towards the place where the candles were brightly lit.

When Bai Yi returned to the palace that day, he did see a little eunuch sneaking around, but he didn't think much about it.Because there were too many dirty things in the palace, he didn't recognize the little eunuch.

Just before leaving, I looked back and saw what the little eunuch was talking to the soldiers guarding the palace gate.

"Put me in a corner, and you go and capture the soldier who was guarding the palace gate that day. I want to find out who that little eunuch belongs to."

Bai Yi nodded, put his arm around Yiman's shoulders, and put her behind a bush.

No matter who was able to deliver Feng Chuyuan's carriage directly to the emperor without any noise, he must have seen her coming into contact with that person.
