"The queen died last night." The girl heard Wan Shufang's anxious tone and knew that she was very concerned about the queen's death. She quickly told her what she knew, "The Ministry of Rites will start the funeral ceremony at 9:00 p.m. today."

"Rumors?" The little girl seemed to think seriously for a while, then shook her head and said, "My sister who went out to buy groceries didn't mention it, so I guess there are no rumors that are bad for the general's mansion."

The little girl looks young, but she is actually in her twenties. She is Yingyi's niece and is very good at disguise.

When Yingyi was preparing to arrange for someone to infiltrate the royal manor, the little girl volunteered.

She disguised herself as the daughter of the manager of the royal estate and was brought to this house by Liu Yaoyao smoothly.

In three days, the little girl not only figured out her replacement identity, but also won the love of many people with her sweet words.

She was also the only one among those who sneaked in who could serve Liu Yaoyao at any time, and she found out Wan Shufang's location through Liu Yaoyao.

He came to find Wan Shufang and was going to take her away. The girl judged this from Yingyi's anxious tone.

In fact, after she knew that Liu Yaoyao was in contact with Prince Rong, she no longer wanted Wan Shufang to stay here and put herself in danger, simply because Prince Rong was a member of the royal family.

Whatever he was planning, it was all conflicts within the royal family.

Wan Shufang is the general's wife and Chen Changli's wife. She is an outsider to the royal family and must not get involved in the internal struggles of the royal family, otherwise she and the general's mansion will become the target of public criticism and be attacked by the royal family.

"Madam, Liu Yaoyao ran out to see Prince Rong again. She is the leader of this group of people. If she is not here, these people will relax. We must take this opportunity to leave quickly, otherwise when she comes back, we will not be able to leave."

The little girl said this and pulled Wan Shufang away.

Wan Shufang quickly stopped her, her voice full of anxiety: "I know what you are worried about, but I can't leave here in a short time."

"Why?" The little girl was shocked and looked at Wan Shufang in surprise, "Madam, you are not trying to find out about Prince Rong, are you?"

She guessed this immediately, her expression showing some nervousness, but she lowered her voice so that only Wan Shufang could hear it: "Prince Rong is your Majesty's nephew. In other words, his treasonous behavior may have been discussed with those in the royal family who are dissatisfied with your Majesty. This is considered an internal struggle within the royal family. We are all outsiders, how can we get involved?"

The girl was worried that Wan Shufang wouldn't understand, so she made things clear to her so that she would know clearly how serious the consequences of this matter would be.

Wan Shufang thought of this when the little girl mentioned Prince Rong. The reason why she wanted to stay was because she felt that she had already come this far and Prince Rong also knew about her. If she left suddenly, wouldn't it be telling Prince Rong and Liu Yaoyao that she had doubts about them?

Wan Shufang's mind raced, and she had figured out what was going on. She immediately said to the girl, "I understand what you're saying, but Prince Rong has long known about my being here. If I leave, Prince Rong will definitely be suspicious of the General's Mansion. So until I find out what Prince Rong is going to do, I must stay here."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. By the way, please pass a message to Chen Changli for me, and tell him to relax and not worry about me."

Hearing Wan Shufang's rather firm tone, the little girl knew that no matter what she said, Wan Shufang would not leave with her.

She looked at Wan Shufang's pale face and felt so distressed that her eyes turned red.

"Liu Yaoyao has a bad temper. I don't know how much you will suffer if you continue to stay here."

As she spoke, she reached out to comb Wan Shufang's messy hair.

By the end of her combing, she couldn't control the sadness in her heart and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Madam, you look like you've been through a lot. How can I dare to leave you here?"

Wan Shufang felt soft in her heart when she heard the little girl's caring words.

But if things turned out as she thought, she would regret it later if she left at this moment.

"Liu Yaoyao just caught me off guard, which caused me to suffer a little." Wan Shufang smiled faintly, "If I am well prepared and pretend to be nice to her, she can't hurt me."

"Besides, she still needs me. She won't dare to be cruel to me until her goal is achieved."

Wan Shufang then advised the girl again, asking her to help her pass the message and then leave. If there was anything in the future, they could contact each other using the secret code.

The girl thought about it and finally agreed to Wan Shufang.

"My current identity is the daughter of Manager Zhao, and my name is Zhao Lian'er. If Madam wants to contact me for something, you can make a fuss with the maids who are guarding you. I will always pay attention to them and get information about you from them."

Zhao Lian'er gave detailed instructions, and Wan Shufang nodded to indicate that she understood, and then watched Zhao Lian'er leave.

When she could no longer see her figure, Wan Shufang used her mind to take out the sleeping pills from the hospital space and sprinkled them on the two maids lying on the ground, then she walked out to the small courtyard to stroll around.

About half an hour later, Yanran came back from outside in a red dress.

When she arrived at the door and saw the maid fainted on the ground, she was so frightened that her breathing almost stopped and her face turned pale.

"Wan Shufang, where have you been? This place is more dangerous than the royal manor. You are an outsider, and something bad will happen if you walk around here casually." Yanran hurriedly ran out to find someone.

"I'm here." Wan Shufang thought Yanran would send someone to find Liu Yaoyao and ask her to investigate her disappearance, but she didn't expect Yanran to be so anxious. She had to shout to her.

"Why are you here?" Yanran heard Wan Shufang's voice and hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Wan Shufang staying in the small courtyard.

She breathed a sigh of relief immediately, then walked over unhappily, "You are very weak now, you should stay in your room and rest, why did you come here?"

She finished her words in one breath, looked Wan Shufang up and down to make sure she looked okay, and then said, "Don't you want to know about the queen? I went out to ask around and heard that the queen died of illness. The emperor seemed very sad. Not only did he want to bury her with honor, but he also stopped court for three days for her."

"You went out earlier just to find out about this matter." Upon hearing Yanran's words, Wan Shufang's eyes flashed with surprise.

Yanran coughed uncomfortably, then looked away and said in a very arrogant tone, "It's because you care too much about this matter. If I didn't think you were still useful, I wouldn't have done such a thing."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wan Shufang and saw that her complexion had improved a lot, no longer as fragile as before, and said gently: "Now that you know about the queen, you can finally rest assured and recuperate well."

Wan Shufang didn't respond, she just stared at Yanran inexplicably, and suddenly asked, "Why do you care about me so much?"
