You were asked to impersonate the King of Qin, not to become emperor!

As Chen Xuan walked out of the Prince's mansion, she saw the man who had previously invited her to the Princess's mansion arrive again.

"Your Majesty, the princess requests your presence at her residence, saying she has important matters to discuss."

Chen Xuan took the man's words very seriously.

At present, Su Rui has used the witchcraft incident to create chaos in the court.

The eldest princess was also extremely wary of this, fearing that if the sixth prince became too powerful, he would also eliminate her!

"I see."

Chen Xuan followed the man into the sedan chair and headed to the princess's residence.

Inside Chen Yu's room, a sumptuous banquet had already been prepared.

She was dressed in a pink dress, her beautiful face revealing a hint of heroism, sitting quietly at the table, clearly waiting for Chen Xuan.

"Royal sister, is there any news about Princess Tiantong?" Chen Xuan asked.

Chen Yu said solemnly, "Last night, the spies I sent out discovered that Su Rui was hosting a banquet for officials at his residence. It seemed that he had a woman accompany those officials, who were all vassals of the Langya Wang family and the Jizhou Zhen family. After it was over, all the officials looked happy, clearly having been won over by Su Rui."

"You're not going to tell me, my elder sister, that woman is Princess Tiantong, are you?"

Chen Xuan was shocked; this incident shattered his worldview.

If that woman really is Chen Yingyun, then Su Rui is incredibly audacious.

Chen Yu sighed and said, "Because the informant couldn't get close, they could only get some vague clues, so we can't be sure who that woman is. To confirm her identity, we need to investigate further!"

"No need to investigate further. Princess Tiantong disappeared after being invited by the Sixth Prince, and has clearly reappeared in Su Rui's residence. A mysterious woman like her, capable of making these officials so obediently submit to Su Rui, must be Princess Tiantong. This Su Rui is really playing dirty!"

Chen Yu was startled, not expecting Chen Xuan to see things so clearly.

Indeed, those officials were all cunning old foxes. It would be difficult to win their loyalty with just one woman. The only possibility was that the woman's identity was special enough to threaten their entire families, which would make those officials take a huge risk and remain loyal to Su Rui.

"Your Highness, you only need to have your informant monitor the situation and report back regularly. After all, if that woman is Princess Tiantong, that old fox Su Rui will be extremely wary. Once he is clearly discovered, the lead will be cut off."

Chen Yu deeply agreed with Chen Xuan's suggestion. She nodded and said, "The reason I called you here today isn't actually about this matter, but rather, it concerns Father Emperor..."

These words immediately piqued Chen Xuan's curiosity: "What's wrong, Father?"

"After Mother's death, Father Emperor never took another empress, which shows how deep his affection for Mother was. But recently, Consort Wang fell ill and has been unable to eat or drink properly. Father Emperor is very anxious about this. I learned from an informant in the palace that Father Emperor had frankly stated that he intended to make Consort Wang his empress!"

Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback: "What do these things have to do with me?"

"Of course it's related. This Consort Wang is named Wang Rong. She comes from the Langya Wang clan and is the aunt of the Princess of Qin. If she becomes Empress, you will have a powerful backer. So, what I'm thinking is that you take advantage of this period to get close to Consort Wang and find a way to improve your relationship with her."

Previously, Chen Xuan didn't understand why, but after Chen Yu's explanation, he realized that this was a powerful figure!

Since she was Wang Qingyi's aunt, she could take advantage of her proximity to the woman.

Wang Qingyi must know this woman very well, and as for Wang Rong's preferences, he could easily find out from Wang Qingyi...

Chen Yu looked at Chen Xuan and sighed, "It's a pity that Consort Wang is now quite ill and bedridden. Even the imperial physicians don't know what's wrong. I'm really worried about her health!"

"Otherwise, with her help, as long as she whispers in His Majesty's ear, Su Rui's treacherous scheme might fall into the wrong hands."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He thought he had found a powerful backer, but Chen Yu told him that she was so ill that she was bedridden and even the imperial physicians couldn't help her!

However, Chen Xuan did not want to give up. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she was unwilling to lose this opportunity.

"Since she's Qingyi's aunt, I'll go back and ask Qingyi what kind of chronic illness Consort Wang has, and then think of a way to cure it!"

In his previous life, Chen Xuan was an intelligence chief, so he was quite proficient in basic modern medical knowledge!

"Excellent! If you can cure Consort Wang's illness, Father Emperor will be overjoyed. You can use this as a miracle and, using Su Rui's methods, gain a voice in Father Emperor's eyes."

After all, if he could cure someone who even the imperial physicians couldn't, it would be nothing short of a miracle!

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I understand," Chen Xuan said gratefully.

"Alas, Consort Wang's illness is not so easy to cure, but you can give it a try..."

Chen Xuan suddenly stood up, bowed to Chen Yu and said, "Royal sister, there is no time to lose. I will go back immediately to ask Qingyi, and then find a way to cure Consort Wang and help her become empress."

Having said that, he left in a hurry without waiting for Chen Yu's reply.

Seeing Chen Xuan leave directly, Chen Yu's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"The Fourth Prince's personality has indeed changed a lot; he's too eager to improve himself. Before, I couldn't persuade him at all; he was so stubborn. Is he really the Fourth Prince?"

……

Upon returning to the Prince's residence, Chen Xuan went straight to Wang Qingyi's room.

After hearing Chen Xuan's account, Wang Qingyi was shocked: "You mean, His Majesty intends to make my aunt Empress?"

This was a huge blow to the Langya Wang clan.

If my aunt becomes empress, she will surely be able to ensure the safety of the Langya Wang clan.

Even the influence of the Langya Wang clan will rise in the court.

Members of the clan could be promoted through the Empress's influence, and officials could rise through the ranks.

"Alas, it's a pity that Consort Wang eventually became bedridden. By the way, did she have any previous ailments?" Chen Xuan asked.

Wang Qingyi said, "Before entering the palace, my aunt was in excellent health. She was a woman who didn't abide by social norms and loved freedom. I don't know why she became like this after entering the palace!"

Chen Xuan learned about Wang Rong's past from Wang Qingyi.

She seems only 38 years old; she shouldn't have suddenly developed an illness!

"Alright, I'll go to the palace tomorrow and tell Consort Wang that perhaps I can help cure her illness!" Chen Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingyi was shocked: "You can actually cure illnesses? But you said yourself that even the imperial physicians couldn't cure my aunt's illness. Can you really do it?"

"At the very least, we should give it a try. If this continues, a minor illness might turn into a major one," Chen Xuan said.

Wang Qingyi was worried about her aunt's safety, but she also felt that as long as her aunt was alive, the best way to protect the Langya Wang clan was for her to become empress.

At that moment, she nodded: "Mm."

"By the way, what are Consort Wang's preferences? If I go there, I can tailor my approach accordingly and build goodwill..." Chen Xuan said meaningfully.
