He pulled Leng Ruo Li and left the prison.
Seeing Jun Mohan's preoccupied look, Leng Ruo Li curiously asked, "Jun Mohan, did you discover something?"
Jun Mohan nodded.
"Li'er, is the Ning Wang in the prison cell a fake?"
"What? Is it true as I said, that he wore a human skin mask?" Leng Ruo Li said in surprise.
"It's not impossible. Do you know? Ning Wang's arm was scalded by boiling water when he was a child, and the scald was quite severe. Father Emperor had Imperial Physician Zhang treat him for a long time, but that scar couldn't disappear," Jun Mohan said slowly.
"Oh, I finally understand now why you insisted on seeing the 'Ning Wang's' arm earlier. You wanted to check if he had a scar on his arm."
Leng Ruo Li suddenly realized.
"Then why do you think I wanted to look at a grown man's arm?" Jun Mohan asked speechlessly.
"Hahaha!"
"Then, should we expose his true identity right now?"
Leng Ruo Li chuckled twice, then regained her serious expression.
"Let's not worry about whether the person in the prison is real or fake. Let's find Ning Wang's whereabouts first..."
With that, Jun Mohan's brows furrowed, and he fell into thought for a few seconds.
...
The next day, the summer sun dutifully shone down on the land. The wind, the croaking of frogs, and the chirping of cicadas excitedly accompanied summer.
However, Princess Anle, awakened early by the cicadas in the tree, took her anger out on the little palace maids and eunuchs around her.
Because Princess Anle had slept too late the previous night and was then woken by the cicadas, she hadn't slept well and was feeling very irritable, thus she unleashed her morning temper.
"Ah..."
"Did you go and catch that cicada on the tree outside as I ordered?" Princess Anle roared at the little palace maids and eunuchs.
"Princess, that willow tree is too tall; we can't climb it," one of the little palace maids said with a crestfallen face.
"Then couldn't you think of a way? Find someone with Qinggong to catch the cicada for me! It's chirping so loudly that I can't sleep..."
Anle reprimanded them impatiently again.
Fortunately, at this moment, a little eunuch risked interrupting Princess Anle's scolding.
"Your servant just received a small bamboo tube message from outside. The messenger said it must be delivered to Princess Anle, and that person specifically instructed that Princess Anle must read the note," the little eunuch said fearfully, kneeling before Princess Anle.
"Bamboo tube message? Where did it come from?" Princess Anle asked absentmindedly upon hearing this.
"Princess, it was sent into the palace by a servant from Prime Minister Qin's residence outside the palace," the little eunuch replied truthfully.
"Prime Minister Qin's residence?"
Anle murmured twice, then finally remembered that her third imperial brother had said he was going to Prime Minister Qin's residence when they parted last night. Did her third imperial brother stay at Prime Minister Qin's residence?
"Quickly bring the bamboo tube message here for me to see," Princess Anle said urgently.
Immediately, the little eunuch handed the bamboo tube message to Princess Anle.
After taking the small bamboo tube, Princess Anle immediately took out the note inside.
Then, she read the note word by word, several times, before understanding her third imperial brother's intentions.
Her third imperial brother actually wanted her and Granny Chang to act against the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. This, this... was it really her third imperial brother's idea?
Although she, Jun Ya Nan, didn't have a good impression of the Emperor and Empress Dowager, they were her relatives after all.
Since her mother's death, they were the two closest relatives to her, and she couldn't bring herself to harm them!
She didn't know what her eldest brother, who always valued family ties, was thinking.
But if she and Granny Chang didn't help her third imperial brother, he would only be able to live in hiding forever, unable to live openly under everyone's gaze.
This was also what Anle least wanted to see.
Therefore, after much thought, Princess Anle made up her mind to help Ning Wang. If this matter succeeded and her third imperial brother ascended the throne, her status as Anle would also greatly increase, and no one would dare to provoke her in the future. Just thinking about it made her happy.
However, controlling the Emperor was not an easy task, because the current Emperor was not an incompetent ruler. He was not only shrewd but also a master of martial arts.
Moreover, he had so many people protecting him, so it was impossible for her to do anything to the Emperor.
As she thought...
Princess Anle rubbed her forehead with some headache.
Then, she had the little palace maids and eunuchs kneeling in her chamber leave.
Finally, feeling tired, Anle lay down on the bed to sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Granny Chang sitting by her bed and was slightly surprised.
"Granny Chang, why have you come?" Princess Anle asked curiously.
"Princess, this old servant has come to tell you what happened after returning from the prison last night."
As Granny Chang spoke, she tried to help Princess Anle sit up slowly.
"What is it, Granny? Did my Father Emperor investigate you last night?"
Upon hearing Granny Chang's words, Princess Anle sat up from the bed with a jolt, no longer needing Granny Chang's help.
"No, they just asked me a few questions and let me go," Granny Chang replied truthfully.
Hearing this, Granny Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, that's good! That's good!"
Finally, Princess Anle glanced at the door, confirmed no one was eavesdropping, and then said mysteriously, "Granny Chang, it's good that you came today. I have something to discuss with you."
"Princess, please tell me whatever you need. This old servant will do her best to complete any task you assign," Granny Chang said sincerely.
"Alright, what I'm about to tell you is extremely important, and you must keep it a secret. My third imperial brother wants to..."
Then, Princess Anle rapidly told Granny Chang everything Ning Wang had told her.
To her surprise, Granny Chang was not afraid or surprised upon hearing her words. Instead, she greatly approved of Ning Wang's actions.
"Princess, this old servant supports Prince Ning's actions. If he doesn't do this, and if he is discovered and replaced in prison later, he will become a serious offender. Even if he escapes pursuit, he won't be able to live openly. But if he successfully controls the Emperor, and even the entire capital, then he won't have to live in darkness anymore," Granny Chang explained to Princess Anle.
