Chapter 40: Ye Wanrong's thoughts
Ye Wanrong chatted with Princess Yuquan for a few words, then confessed and walked away alone.
She found a no-man's corner and stood quietly aside, looking at the crowd in the camp from afar.
Princess Yuquan had gone to the tent.
Ye Wanrong, as the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo's family, has been cultivated as a princess since she was a child, and she naturally knows the situation in the palace.
The second prince competed with the third prince for the throne, and her father bet the treasure on the second prince.
A few days ago, I heard that the third prince suddenly became critically ill, but miraculously recovered, and then married the eldest lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
Regarding the critical illness of the third prince, Ye Wanrong already had some speculation in her heart.
Soon after, her father arranged for her to accompany the second prince during the autumn hunt.
Then her marriage with the second prince should be approaching.
She will be involved in this battle for the throne as the help of the second prince.
Ye Wanrong does not reject her fate.
She has been smart since she was a child, and she was taught by her father to grow up, and she thinks the most interesting thing is the human heart.
The first time she saw the second prince, she knew that this person was very deep.
She likes people like the second prince.
On the first day of the autumn hunt, the third prince had such an accident. From the time when the guards brought back the seriously injured third prince, Ye Wanrong had been secretly observing the second prince.
Could it be the second prince who did it?
A few days ago, the third prince had just died once, and someone did it soon after, if it was the same person, why was that person so impatient to get rid of the third prince?
Ye Wanrong didn't notice anything unusual about the second prince.
There were still many things in the palace that she didn't understand.
She decided to do some temptation first.
Finding that Princess Yuquan was suspicious, Ye Wanrong stepped forward to talk, and then Princess Yuquan's attitude also made her feel amused.
Princess Yuquan obviously thought that someone was planning to harm the three princes, but she refused to send someone to find evidence.
Just because it's dark, don't you go to track down the murderer of the prince?
It seems that Princess Yuquan is not on the side of the three princes.
Perhaps, it's just to protect yourself.
Her father had always taught her that the battles in the palace of the Anping Dynasty had always been cruel and ruthless. Now His Majesty's ascension to the throne has made many courtiers feel terrified.
The princes murdered each other, which was just a trivial matter.
If Ye Wanrong wants to marry into the palace as a concubine, she must remember that there is no one in this palace who needs sympathy and pity, only an opponent who hides a secret arrow.
There is also the second prince who will share blessings and misfortunes with her.
She needs to prepare in advance to find out more.
She hasn't seen the third prince yet, but the daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion doesn't seem to be a powerful character.
Princess Yuquan doesn't look like a nosy person.
What surprised Ye Wanrong the most today was the blonde and blue-eyed princess Tongguang.
As far as Ye Wanrong knew, Princess Tongguang was just a hostage of a small country in the Western Regions, and she should have no status in the palace. Now that she is about to go west, her situation should be even very miserable.
I didn't expect that a person like her was qualified to participate in the royal autumn hunt, and she seemed to be very familiar with the second and third princes.
There is also Shen Fengjiu, who has no one in his eyes, like a person under Princess Tongguang.
If I remember correctly, the third prince was critically ill a few days ago, and it was a prince surnamed Shen who entered the palace and was cured. Looking at the current situation, it should be this one.
So was Princess Tongguang who saved the three princes?
If Princess Tongguang is on the side of the third prince, why is the second prince so familiar with her?
Is there something special about her that makes the two princes try to win them over?
Ye Wanrong stared at Lu Zhaoling from afar, frowning slightly.
Lu Zhaoling was unaware of all this, and was still anxiously pacing back and forth outside the tent, looking at it.
