The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

"I've long heard that Prime Minister Liao's daughter is a virtuous and kind woman, famous throughout the capital. Now that I've seen her, I find that her reputation is well-deserved," Queen Wang praised.

Liao Qinglan smiled faintly upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, I am too kind. Qinglan is just an ordinary woman. How can I be worthy of the title 'famous in the capital'?"

"You don't have to be modest. Tingzhi came to see me a few days ago and told me about his assassination. You were fearless and decisive in the face of danger. The most valuable thing is that you are a kind-hearted child. I like you very much."

Liao Qinglan smiled and said, "I just happened to pass by. Prince Wang is a lucky man, and he has the blessing of the Queen. Even without me, he can still escape danger."

She has made great contributions but is not arrogant. After hearing what she said, Queen Wang liked Liao Qinglan even more.

"You are a sensible child. No wonder Concubine An likes to summon you to the palace to talk with you. I heard that she came to see you yesterday."

The queen mentioned it casually.

Liao Qinglan was clear in her mind and knew that the pleasantries were over and it was time to get down to business, so she responded more carefully.

"The Queen has misunderstood. The Imperial Concubine summoned me because the Second Prince and my cousin Liao Wan'er love each other. Yesterday was the Qiqiao Festival, and she asked me to help the Second Prince prepare some surprises for my cousin. Everyone who went out with me yesterday can testify to this."

"So that's how it is. By the way, before Tingzhi came to Beijing, his father wrote to me, hoping that he could settle down and build a career in the capital, and asked me to keep an eye on him. Unexpectedly, Tingzhi himself met his destined person." Queen Wang said, looking at Liao Qinglan and Wang Tingzhi with a smile.

Is this... an attempt to bring her together with Wang Tingzhi?

She wanted to cling to the Queen's thigh, but she didn't want to sacrifice herself!

Wang Tingzhi saw her hesitation and said, "Aunt, I have just arrived and am not familiar with the people and things in the capital. It is too early to talk about this now."

Queen Wang heard this, her smile remained on her face: "Qinglan hasn't said anything yet, but you've already lost your temper. Go back first, and I'll have a good chat with Qinglan."

The queen deliberately sent him away, so he had to leave first.

The queen dismissed all the palace maids around her, and only Liao Qinglan and Queen Wang were left in the huge Pepper Palace.

"Empress, what do you want me to do?" Liao Qinglan asked.

"Do you know who wanted to kill Tingzhi that day?" Queen Wang put away her smile and asked seriously.

"My daughter knows."

"He is indeed a smart child." Queen Wang murmured, "Everyone says that the emperor and I are deeply in love, but only I know the warmth and coldness of it."

Liao Qinglan didn't know why Queen Wang suddenly said this to her. She listened quietly without responding.

"Although I have instructed you not to reveal who saved Tingzhi, with the Emperor's ability, it is only a matter of time before he finds out. Do you think you can stay out of this?"

"I know, and I also know that I have offended Duke Zheng and the Third Prince. Only the Queen can help me."

Everyone in the capital knew that Duke Zheng had gone to the Prime Minister's residence to arrest someone.

"If you are not the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, why would I help you?"

"I can help you conceive a dragon heir."

"What did you say?" The Queen clutched the armrest of the chair tightly.

"Your Majesty, you haven't been pregnant for many years. Haven't you ever doubted the reason?" Liao Qinglan asked.

The queen's eyes were blank. "Of course I suspected it, but I have carefully checked my food, clothing, housing and transportation, and found no problems."

Liao Qinglan smiled slightly, walked to an orchid, and pulled hard, pulling out the entire orchid by its roots.

There was a sachet buried in the soil, and the smell was so faint that it could be ignored.

Liao Qinglan opened the sachet and presented it to Queen Wang: "Does your Majesty recognize this?"

After being buried in the soil for so long, the contents of the sachet had turned black. Queen Wang carefully examined it and was horrified: "Is it musk?"

Liao Qinglan nodded: "That's right, and there's more than one. I'm naturally sensitive to smells. I smelled musk as soon as I entered the Pepper Room. Your Majesty can send someone to search in every flower pot."

Queen Wang looked sad, as if she couldn't believe it: "He is so cruel to me."

Liao Qinglan had no interest in the grudges between the emperor and the empress, and asked, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I can take care of your health. I wonder if this bargaining chip is enough to make Your Majesty excited?"

Queen Wang had to believe in her ability to find the root of the problem just by smell.

“If you can help me conceive a royal heir, the Wang family of Langya will do our best to help you with any request you have,” Queen Wang promised.

"It's a word."

Having obtained the desired result, Liao Qinglan left the palace happily.

Wang Tingzhi's carriage was still waiting outside the palace gate.

"I'm sorry, my aunt likes to worry about the younger generation in the family, and I'm sorry for offending Miss Liao." Wang Tingzhi bowed and apologized to Liao Qinglan.

"It's okay. I've already made it clear to the Queen."

"Have you explained it clearly?" Wang Ting was stunned. "What does this mean?"

"Even if the queen doesn't mention this matter again, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Looking at Liao Qinglan's relaxed smile, Wang Tingzhi felt complicated.

"What if I say, this is what I think too?"

"What?" Now it was Liao Qinglan's turn to be stunned.

"I apologized just now because I didn't ask for your opinion in advance and rashly mentioned the marriage. I felt it was a bit abrupt. But I also want to get to know you more deeply. If you think it's appropriate, we can talk about marriage."

Wang Tingzhi's tone was gentle and sincere, revealing his respect and understanding for her.

Liao Qinglan blinked, not knowing how to respond.

Have you had good luck with love these days?

Yesterday, Gu Mingzhao seemed to be interested in her, and today, Wang Tingzhi confessed his feelings to her so openly!

After her rebirth, she only thought about saving her family and getting rid of Li Jin.

I never thought about my future marriage...

Liao Qinglan subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Wang Tingzhi didn't give her a chance.

"Ms. Liao, don't jump to conclusions. Think about it carefully before giving your answer."

Things had come to this point, and Liao Qinglan had nothing more to say, so she let Wang Tingzhi send her back to the Liao Mansion.

Jinxiu had a lot to say, and as soon as she entered the room, she couldn't wait to get it out.

"Miss, Miss! The prince was just confessing his love to you!"

"I think Young Master Wang is pretty good. He is handsome, comes from a noble family, and has a reputation. He is no worse than our young master!"

"He was injured and happened to get into the young lady's carriage, and the young lady saved him! Isn't this the story of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman in a vernacular novel?"

It was obvious that Jinxiu was very satisfied with Wang Tingzhi.

Especially compared with Li Jin, he is both graceful and sophisticated, and he looks very good!

She and the lady are a perfect match!

As soon as Jinxiu finished speaking, a gloomy sneer suddenly rang out in the air.

"is it?"

A tall figure stood in Liao Qinglan's room, his face gloomy and his eyes flashing with anger.
