Yan Ruyu tapped her fingers lightly, thoughts turning rapidly in her mind.

Huo Changhe said in the shadows: "Are you willing to be the Ninth Princess forever?"

Yan Ruyu's eyes lit up.

The Eighth Princess said with hatred: "This is not a matter of whether I am willing or not. From what I heard from the Ninth Princess, she does not want to marry Prince Yong. After arriving in the capital, she will not exchange her status with me. She is just using my mother to force me to submit and take her place."

Huo Changhe said coldly: "What I said is that you did it willingly, not under coercion. She doesn't want to marry Prince Yong, and Prince Yong of our dynasty will not be willing to marry such a woman."

Huo Changhe tilted his head and looked over here.

Although the Eighth Princess couldn't see his expression clearly, she could still feel that his gaze was so sharp that she dared not lie.

The Eighth Princess was puzzled: "I... don't understand what the prince means."

"If you are willing to remain the Ninth Princess forever, then I can make sure that you are the only Ninth Princess in this world, the real Ninth Princess."

The Eighth Princess' eyes suddenly widened, and this time she understood.

Huo Changhe meant to kill the Ninth Princess.

"But this... she is the Ninth Princess after all, the Great Ninth Princess..."

"She is the maid of the Ninth Princess and does not know etiquette. You are the Ninth Princess," Yan Ruyu took over the conversation, "as long as you are willing."

"But Tang Yibai knows, and those personal attendants know," the Eighth Princess' heart was pounding.

"The people of Li Chao don't know," Yan Ruyu smiled calmly, "from the moment you entered Youcheng, the Ninth Princess that the people of Li Chao saw was you."

The Eighth Princess's breathing became a little rapid, and her lips trembled a little: "Then, how do I explain this to Tang Yibai?"

"What do you need to explain? Do you need to explain the death of a maid?" Huo Changhe asked back, "Once she dies, you will be the only Ninth Princess. You have to be one even if you are not."

The Eighth Princess pursed her lips and said nothing, her mind was torn between conscience and desire. This was truly too crazy.

What's even crazier is that she was actually a little tempted.

"You have become the ninth princess, the only one. Your mother will be better off in Dacheng. Besides, you can write a letter to her and we will find a way to send it in so that she can feel at ease. If she is willing, it is not impossible to bring her out."

Huo Changhe's tone was calm, but every word he said was like thunder. He spoke calmly, but every word made the Eighth Princess tremble with fear and extremely excited.

"You've been exposed now," Yan Ruyu reminded her, "Do you think that the prince and I will pretend that we know nothing and nothing happened?"

"If the Ninth Princess knew, what would be the first thing she would do?"

The Eighth Princess turned pale and said, "He will kill me and silence me, and then he will never admit that this happened."

Yan Ruyu remained noncommittal - she had a compassionate heart, but it depended on who she was with.

People like Dacheng had no good intentions from the beginning. In this case, they should not be shown mercy, and they can only experience drastic measures.

"Think about it yourself," Yan Ruyu said, "which way to die you want to choose."

The eighth princess clutched the quilt tightly, the veins on the back of her hands bulged, and after a while, she slowly let go.

There was a look of determination in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you."

……

The next morning, the eighth princess opened her eyes, looked at the light coming in from the window, and thought back to last night. It seemed like a dream.

But she knew clearly that it was not a dream.

Someone was walking slowly in the corridor outside the window, and judging by her demeanor, she was a palace maid.

At this hour, I should go and serve the Ninth Princess.

Naturally, no one cared about her as a substitute.

She turned over, not in a hurry, and went over the plan in her mind again.

At this time, Yan Ruyu had already woken up and was exercising in the yard with the boss and Linlang.

Just as I was about to change clothes, Princess Mingzhao arrived with Luhu.

Princess Mingzhao said, "I heard about what happened yesterday, but it's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes. I couldn't help but come to you early this morning."

"Are you here for breakfast?" Yan Ruyu chuckled.

Princess Mingzhao's eyes widened. "How can you say that? I was just discussing yesterday's events with you and having breakfast at the same time."

Yan Ruyu washed her hands and face and changed her clothes, then said with a smile, "Okay, okay, you are right. Lu Hu will help me seek justice in front of the Su Mansion, not to mention breakfast, lunch and dinner are all fine."

Princess Mingzhao burst out laughing.

"Speaking of which, I have another piece of news to tell you. I was so excited about what happened yesterday that I almost forgot about it."

Yan Ruyu poured her a cup of tea: "What's the matter?"

"It's about the Su family. Madam Su beat up Master Su."

Princess Mingzhao was overjoyed: "I heard that he got a black eye and couldn't even open his eye. We invited two doctors to come to the mansion to see him. Also..."

She couldn't help laughing again, and it took her a long time to hold it back: "Many people's hair was pulled out, and they almost became bald."

Yan Ruyu smiled and shook her head: "He deserves to be beaten."

"Master Su was furious and wanted to divorce his wife. Madam Su was furious and wanted someone to judge the situation. She went to Qiu's house to find Master Su's cousin or something. As a result, she was dragged back by Master Su as soon as she arrived. It was quite a joke."

Yan Ruyu thought about the couple's faces and didn't have a good impression of them.

"Let them make a fuss. We won't have any interactions in the future anyway."

"That's right. After this lesson, the Su family will probably have to avoid you next time they see you," Princess Mingzhao snorted. "I'll also ask Luhu to help me get the money. I can't give her the herbs I gave her last time for free."

Yan Ruyu took a sip of tea and thought about Madam Su's empty house, a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Did she give it to you?"

"No, she even complained to me that she was poor, saying that she didn't have much money. All the things in her room were given to her concubine by Lord Su. It's really ridiculous."

Lu Hufu bowed and said, "It was I who went to ask for it. Madam Su cried so sincerely, as if she really had no money. But I don't believe her. Since Madam Su was promoted to deputy governor, she has lived a very luxurious life. How could she be without money?"

Yan Ruyu thought to herself that this time she really didn't lie, she really didn't lie.

"I won't give up. I will ask her for it again." Princess Mingzhao said firmly.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Princess Mingzhao asked, "Can we have dinner? I'm hungry after drinking tea so early in the morning."

"Let's go see Mu Chen first, and then we can eat. I've asked someone to prepare it."

Lu Hu smiled and said, "Princess, you don't know, Miss has already visited Mu Chen. Only when Mu Chen's injury is healed well can Miss eat without worry."

"How long will it take for Mu Chen to return home?" asked Princess Mingzhao.

"Why? He wants to leave on his own?"

Yan Ruyu felt that Mu Chen was an introverted person, perhaps he felt uncomfortable in the mansion?

Unexpectedly, Princess Mingzhao said: "No, I have made a preparation in advance."

Yan Ruyu suddenly understood: "You want to see how many times you can borrow Mu Chen to come over for dinner?"

Princess Mingzhao said earnestly: "We are sisters, why are you speaking so bluntly?"
