Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 600 Disruption
As Wei Qinyi left the emperor's study, her heart pounded like a drum, and her mind buzzed incessantly.

Her anger was so intense that she could hardly contain her fear. What was the proper way for a woman to behave?
Should women be forced to marry and waste their lives? Should men hold the power of life and death?

absurd!

She didn't know how she got back to the princess's residence; when she came to her senses, the princess was already standing in front of her.

"Qinyi! Say something!"

"what?"

The second princess was relatively friendly to Wei Qinyi. "What did Father Emperor say when he called you over?"

The two of them were in the room.

"The Emperor wants me to leave the palace tomorrow." Her voice was inevitably filled with disappointment.

"As expected." The second princess asked again, "Why is that?"

“The Emperor said my thoughts were unusual and might affect you, so he ordered me to leave the palace,” Wei Qinyi said. “Now that the Emperor has spoken, there is no turning back.”

The princess said irritably, "But there has to be a reason... Why did Father suddenly launch this attack? What has happened in the capital recently?"

"Your Highness," Wei Qinyi grasped the Second Princess's hand, "you must calm down."

Don't worry, things haven't gotten to the worst point yet.

The Emperor merely dismissed me; he did not punish you.

Wei Qinyi said in a low voice, "It is clear that His Majesty knows little about our affairs."

The second princess felt no relief. Knowing little about her, she was already being asked to get rid of the people around her; if she knew everything, wouldn't that mean she would be killed?

Thinking of this, she shuddered. "Qinyi, let's stop here." "Your Highness!" Wei Qinyi's tone became more serious. "It wasn't easy for us to get to where we are today. How can we give up so easily?"

"But you've already left the palace..."

“It’s just right for me to leave,” Wei Qinyi quickly replied. “It’s perfect. I’m moving from the light to the shadows, and I can now do many things that I couldn’t do before.”

Your Highness, do you still remember what you said back then? We are both of imperial blood, why can't you?

"We've meticulously planned this all because of those words, Your Highness. It's been a long and arduous process."

Meeting Wei Qinyi's resolute gaze, the Second Princess could no longer bring herself to say anything about giving up.

"After you leave the palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet again," the second princess said.

“Although we can’t meet often, my heart is always with Your Highness. As long as Your Highness is willing, our connection will not be broken,” Wei Qinyi said. “When you get old and leave the palace to establish your own residence, I will be able to return to your side.”

The second princess looked at the person in front of her with reluctance, "After you left, I don't know who to trust."

“Your Highness, you should trust yourself the most,” Wei Qinyi said. “The plan we made before remains unchanged. The Crown Prince is still very powerful. We can only disrupt the situation by uniting with the Third Prince first.”

It is in the chaos that we have our chance to step in.

The princess also longed for the future they hoped for, but she was still uneasy.

“I have a feeling that Father Emperor knows something,” the second princess said. “I won’t be at ease until I find out the reason.”

That being said, the Second Princess herself knew that her people had not yet infiltrated the Emperor's inner circle, and it was almost impossible for her to directly obtain these secret information.

The only way is to start the investigation from what's around us, examining every single thing she and Wei Qinyi have done.

“After I leave the palace, I will keep an eye on the people I’ve come into contact with. If anyone makes any unusual moves, I’ll know who the problem lies with,” Wei Qinyi assured her. “I’ll find out soon, and someone will pass the message on to you.”
