Translator: Lonelytree

The news that Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan had returned to the capital spread through the streets and alleys of the capital in just a short while.

Those who should know and those who shouldn’t know already knew.

Now, the only thing that everyone was curious about was that these rumours were so unfavourable to the princess of the Guguo. They did not know how the princess and the general would deal with these rumours.

The rumours had been going on for some time, and they were getting more and more intense.

The return of Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan pushed the rumours to a climax.

Everyone wanted to see how the two of them would deal with this rumour crisis.

Princess Linglong, Xiao Jingyu, received the news that Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan had returned to the capital. She seemed a little anxious, nervous, and excited. However, there was also some uneasiness mixed with it.

However, what she showed was gentleness, peace, and calmness. She just had to play her role well.

Instead, it was the emperors eldest grandprince, Yuwen Xuhong, who appeared even more anxious and uneasy.

Although he didn’t know who spread the rumours in the capital, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for him. After all, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan’s good relationship with the Crown Prince was a huge obstacle to his ascension to the throne.

Therefore, what he needed to do was to build a good relationship with the two of them and obtain their full support. Only then would he be able to defeat the Crown Prince and successfully ascend the throne.

However, it was clear that this method was good, but it was too difficult to achieve and was not realistic at all.

If Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan’s relationship were so easy to rope in, there wouldn’t be so many princes and grand-princes failed.

The other was to sow discord between Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan and the Crown Prince. As long as the Crown Prince became suspicious of them, he would be cutting off his own right-hand man.

Similarly, as long as one wasn’t too stupid, they would know that when the situation was unclear, the more they couldn’t be suspicious. Instead, they had to protect the people close to them.

Thus, Yuwen Xuhong didn’t plan to sow discord between them.

He only planted the seed.

As long as he watered and fertilized the seed, he would wait for the seed to break through the soil and grow into a towering tree.

Of course, he knew very well that this would make the Crown Prince suspicious of him.

But so what?

As long as Imperial Grandfather was still on the throne, as long as he had not ascended the throne, he could not do anything to him.

This rumour was also a game!

Success was his boundless sea and sky, reaching the heavens in one step.

If he lost, he would fall into a bottomless abyss, leaving no corpse behind!

To him, this was the best opportunity to deal with Jiang Zhennan and Lin

Yuelan.

The husband and wife hugged each other, but their thoughts were different.

At some point, Xiao Jingyu raised her eyes and looked at Yuwen Xuhong, who was deep in thought. The corners of her mouth curled up, and a smug smile appeared on her face. She was about to succeed.

She knew!

Right now, she only needed to see Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan’s sorry state!

“Your Highness…” Xiao Jingyu called out softly.

Yuwen Xuhong was immersed in his own thoughts and did not hear Xiao

Jingvu!s voice.

“Your Highness…” Xiao Jingyu called out again.

Yuwen Xuhong came back to his senses and asked with a smile,” Yu ‘er, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Jingyu asked,” Your Highness, I heard that the Great General and

Princess Gu have already returned to the capital?”

Yuwen Xuhong nodded,” That’s right.” After saying this, he paused for a moment before continuing,” The moment they returned to the capital, they rushed into the Imperial Palace in less than five minutes.”

Xiao Jingyu’s eyes flashed sharply, and then she asked gently,” Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be because of this rumour?” Yuwen Xuhong shook his head,” I’m not sure! However,”

“However, what?” Xiao Jingyu asked.

“My men didn’t manage to find out anything. However, I heard that after the two of them entered the palace to meet Imperial Grandfather in the royal study, they came out with something in their hands.” When Yuwen Xuhong said this, he was obviously a little excited. He said,” That is the Dianjiang Da Hong Pao that Lord Yun Nan pays tribute to every year. It only produces seven taels of tea every year, and the court pays five taels of tea. Usually, Imperial Grandfather would not drink it, but this time, he actually gave it all to Lin Yuelan..
