The two of them returned to Jiang Xuening's room in Jiang's house, and Caiyue immediately brought hot tea and snacks.

"Everyone, get out." Jiang Xuening said.

Qinghe and Caiyue retreated and guarded the door, while the other servants stayed away.

In the study, Jiang Xuening looked Shangguan Wan up and down, "Yes, it seems that the Queen has not touched a hair of your head."

Shangguan Wan didn't say anything. He was able to escape unscathed at a heavy price. He almost lost a layer of his skin. However, she has never been one to complain about misfortune.

Shangguan Wan looked at her and chuckled, "You should attend the palace banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival next month. This face will keep many people awake at night."

The fact that she looks a lot like Princess Chen has spread throughout the circle.

Many people secretly looked forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. As the princess of Qingzhou, she would attend it no matter what.

Jiang Xuening touched her face, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Jiang Xuening supported her chin with her hand and said casually, "You came out of the palace specially to tell me something."

Today is a holiday, so Shangguan Wan naturally has to rest, but she has been homeless for a long time.

Under the bright candlelight, Shangguan Wan's eyes burst out with captivating hatred.

She lowered her voice and said word by word, "I want someone's life, but I can't take action now."

She is not in a good situation and must not be caught at this time.

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows slightly, "You hate it?"

Shangguan Wan curled her lips and smiled sinisterly, "I hate her so much that I hope she will die immediately."

"What does this have to do with me?" Jiang Xuening asked knowingly.

Shangguan Wan laughed at herself, "Because the only person I can think of and trust is you. If you are willing to take action, she will die."

Jiang Xuening twirled her hair with her fingers, "You do have confidence in me."

Shangguan Wan walked to the desk, put his hands on the desk, leaned over and looked at her, "The princess kept me alive, isn't she just waiting for this day?"

Jiang Xuening has been away from Shengjing for too long, and she needs connections. But after fighting in the harem, Shangguan Wan, who holds a high position, is her best choice.

And after a series of operations by her, Shangguan Wan and the Queen had broken up and could no longer unite.

Shangguan Wan said coldly, "The princess is indeed very calculating from beginning to end!"

Jiang Xuening admitted frankly, "Thank you for the compliment."

Shangguan Wan's eyes flashed slightly, "Compared to the queen, I still prefer the princess's methods, so I threw myself into a trap today."

If Jiang Xuening helped her kill that person, she would naturally be used by her.

Anyway, she is alone now and has no worries. Since there was no way out, she tried her best to move up to the highest position!

Shangguan Wan's ambition was completely detonated with the death of her biological mother. Those people who dared to treat them like that were just relying on the power they had.

One day she will stand taller than them all.

Why I chose Jiang Xuening was of course because I smelled similar information.

During her three years in Qingzhou, she witnessed with her own eyes how Jiang Xuening rose to power.

Jiang Xue stared at her and asked with a cold expression, "Who do you want to die?"

"Mrs. Shangguan, the mistress of the Shangguan family."

Jiang Xuening was silent for a while with the expected answer, "That's the Queen's aunt."

Mrs. Shangguan was born in the Sheng family, and she and Empress Xiao Shujin's mother were sisters from the same mother. The Sheng family was an aristocratic family in Longxi and was quite influential there.

With such a background, Shangguan's wife is the most praised even in the circle of official wives.

Shangguan Wan asked deliberately, "Is the princess afraid?"

Jiang Xuening said with a half-smile, "Wan'er is not kind to me. If something happens to Mrs. Shangguan at this juncture, the second person the Queen will suspect is me."

Of course, the first person to be suspicious must be Shangguan Wan herself. After all, the concubine and the aunt were naturally at odds with each other, and lives were involved in the process.

Shangguan Wan said, "I believe the princess will find a way."

It was not easy for her to get out of the palace, and she was being watched closely, so there was no way she could do anything.

"Why are you so anxious?" Jiang Xuening asked, she was not an impulsive person.

Shangguan Wan clenched her hand, "My mother was tortured to death. After her death, she was thrown into a mass grave and her body was eaten by wild dogs."

She came back and visited the mass graves and found nothing. There were countless bones there, and she couldn't tell where her mother was.

After the age of ten, people who have never cried even in hardships finally burst into tears in mass graves.

She couldn't wait any longer, she couldn't wait for Mrs. Shangguan to die.

Jiang Xuening tapped her fingers lightly on the table, "Give me a reason to kill her. Just words of hatred cannot convince me."

Shangguan Wan sighed, "It's really tiring talking to you."

"I got news that the queen intends to marry the daughter of the Shangguan family to Prince Fusang as her concubine."

Fusang has extraordinary combat power and is considered a vassal state of Xiling. Under the current situation, the emperor is very likely to use Fusang's soldiers, and naturally he wants to build relationships.

Marriage is the best choice. If you marry a lady from the Shangguan family, the power behind the queen will be strengthened.

"Can the emperor agree?" Jiang Xuening didn't think He Lianxuan was that stupid.

"I don't know the details, but according to what I know, the marriage is almost certain." Shangguan said politely.

Naturally, she didn't want to see the Shangguan family grow bigger, and she believed Jiang Xuening didn't want to see the queen grow stronger either.

"If Mrs. Shangguan dies, as her daughter, Miss Shangguan, she needs to observe filial piety for three years." Jiang Xueer revealed the real reason in one sentence.

Shangguan said politely, "So it would be good for you and me if Mrs. Shangguan dies before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Jiang Xuening narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the marriage would be finalized at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

"I accept the reason, but I'm taking too much risk. Wan'er is a free-handed wolf, so it's not appropriate."

Shangguan Wan smiled bitterly, "How dare I be perfunctory when discussing things with the princess? If you need me to do anything, just ask."

She came to Jiang Xuening, of course she was aware. Whatever she can do, she will try her best.

Jiang Xuening's face showed satisfaction, "Wan'er is really happy. After Mrs. Shangguan dies, we can continue to talk about the rest."

The more she didn't mention what she was asked to do, the heavier Shangguanwan felt, but she had no regrets.

She said, "I'm waiting for good news from the princess."

She also told Jiang Xuening everything about Shangguan's wife, so that she could have an idea.

The two talked for a long time, and Shangguan Wan finally left, "Then I'll leave first."

"Aren't you going to stay and rest?" Jiang Xuening asked.

"No, just doing this will lead to a lot of speculation. If we stay overnight, rumors will fly all over the sky."

Jiang Xuening personally sent her to the door and watched her leave.

She was picking up a hot potato, but she had no choice.
