Liu Fuyun naturally understood this principle. So, when Liu Yan’er returned today, he gave strict instructions for her not to go anywhere starting from tomorrow!
“But what about Miao Linglong…” he hesitated, “Can we rely solely on Yan’er staying put to prevent any mishaps?”
Liu Shimei’s lips curled into a half-smile. “Lord Grand Chancellor, the purpose of summoning me tonight, could it be… either you want me to deal with Miao Linglong, ensuring that Yan’er secures the position of Crown Princess; or, you want me to approach the Crown Prince and help Yan’er? Am I right?”
With these words, she hit the mark on Liu Fuyun’s abacus beads!
Liu Fuyun was thinking of much more than that; he even contemplated sending Liu Shimei to the Crown Prince’s bed!
Of course, he wouldn’t reveal such thoughts. Dealing with this daughter was no easy task. Without absolute certainty and a foolproof plan, he wouldn’t act recklessly!
“How do you see it?” he asked cautiously.
Liu Shimei stood up and said, “How I see it is not important! What matters is how the Empress sees it. Although the Crown Prince holds a lofty position, I guess… the one truly in control behind the scenes is the Empress! Lord Grand Chancellor, don’t worry too much. If you had to choose between Duke An and the Grand Chancellor, who would you choose?”
Her words had already pierced through: the selection of the Crown Prince’s Consort was, on the surface, a choice made by the Crown Prince, but in reality, it was the Empress selecting a wife for the Crown Prince!
It was about choosing a family, not just a Crown Princess!
“I’ll remind you once again, the Miao family has the bloodline of West Wei. Even if the Empress wants to choose Miao Linglong, the Emperor won’t allow it!”
So, with Yu Wanqing out of the picture and Zhang Miaozhen in trouble, the only choice left between the legitimate daughters of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence and Duke An’s family was clear.
Liu Shimei even wondered if, after the incident with the designated Crown Princess, Huangfu He had immediately discussed the matter with the Empress?
The mechanism of choosing four potential Crown Princesses was a buffer mechanism created by the Crown Prince. Why did the Empress agree to it?
Could it be that, after selecting four civil officials, all these influential officials were targeted?
Upon careful consideration, it’s terrifying!
The matter of the Crown Prince choosing a consort was originally thought to have nothing to do with Liu Shimei, but it continued to entangle her. It seemed that until the end, all of this would not come to a halt.
So, she should still take precautions.
Hopefully, this fire wouldn’t burn onto her!
The next day, the incident involving Zhang Miaozhen became known throughout the Imperial Capital.
In just a little over half a year, two of the Imperial Capital’s most beautiful flowers withered in succession!
“First, the top talent Eldest Miss Liu lost her chastity on the Lantern Festival and was caught in a dark alley! Then, during the Double Seventh Festival, the delicate and elegant Miss Zhang from the Zhang family fell into the water, soaked, and someone stripped her clothes off in the river!”
“The two most beautiful flowers among the noble ladies of the Imperial Capital, the twin beauties of the Imperial Capital, indeed have to endure the ravages of storms. How similar are their fates?”
“You got it wrong, although both had incidents, Eldest Miss Liu’s engagement may not be ideal, but at least she has one. Now, this Miss Zhang from the Zhang family is probably going to spend the rest of her life as a nun in the Ciyun Temple, a life of solitude!”
“What a pity, what a pity! Zhang family’s youngest, so beautiful and fragrant, ending up as a nun? It makes us sigh!”
The latest and hottest gossip, still sizzling, half a year ago, Liu Shimei was mocked in such a way, and now Zhang Miaozhen followed in her footsteps.
Liu Shimei was not in a good mood.
Early in the morning, Huangfu Lingyao came over, and she went to have breakfast with her silly puppy and disciple.
Hearing this gossip, she thought for a moment, didn’t go to the Fusheng Pavilion, and instead had Lu Ying drive to the Zhang family..
