The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Cui'er's eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't wait to look at Mig.

There were a few letters inside. She took them out with trembling hands and put them in her arms.

However, just as she was about to leave, the sound of footsteps of a night watchman suddenly came from outside.

Cui'er's face turned pale in an instant. She looked around frantically, looking for a place to hide. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and her pounding heart was in her throat.

She quickly hid under the desk, covering her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open and a servant walked in.

He held a lantern in his hand and looked around the room. Cui'er hid under the desk, her heart beating like a drum, and she could clearly hear her own breathing and heartbeat.

The servant walked to the desk and stopped.

Cui'er's body was tense, her heart was beating rapidly in her chest, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. Fine beads of sweat kept oozing out of her forehead.

Just then, a mouse jumped out from the corner. The servant was startled and turned to look in the direction of the mouse, then left the study.

Cui'er took the opportunity to crawl out from under the desk and walked towards the door quietly.

Cui'er ran all the way to the east courtyard with the letter in her hand and gently knocked on Lin Wanwan's door.

"Princess...Princess...Open the door quickly."

When Lin Wanwan heard the voice, she got up quietly, put on more clothes, and opened the door.

Cui Er outside the door panted and stuffed the letter into her hand: "Princess...I stole the letter for you."

Lin Wanwan took the letter, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and said: "Cui'er, you are taking this risk, it is not appropriate for you to stay in the Princess's Mansion. This princess will immediately arrange for you to leave the mansion and settle down."

Cui Er smiled tiredly and said, "My Lord, it is my honor to serve you."

"Cui'er, wait for me." Lin Wanwan hurried to Qingqing's room, knocked on the door and called out, "Qingqing, put on your clothes, quickly get the three hundred taels of silver and come out."

When Qingqing heard this, she quickly stood up, rubbed her eyes and opened the door: "Princess...what's wrong?"

Lin Wanwan said, "Take three hundred taels of silver, take Cui'er out of the mansion, and find a place to settle down."

Qingqing nodded quickly and said, "Okay."

Cui'er knew that if she was discovered stealing the letters, the consequences would be disastrous.

Moreover, because of her previous experience, she can no longer have children, and there is no point in her living anymore.

While Lin Wanwan was talking to Qingqing, Cui'er's face became more and more determined, and deep in her heart she had already decided to end her life.

She quietly got up and left the East Courtyard very quietly.

Lin Wanwan and Qingqing turned around and couldn't see Cui'er.

"Not good!" Lin Wanwan hurriedly ran away.

At this time, Cui'er had returned to her room, tore the bed sheets into long strips and tied them to the beams.

Cui'er's tears slid down her cheeks.

She stepped onto the stool and stuck her head into the cloth.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and Lin Wanwan rushed in.

"Cui'er, don't!" Lin Wanwan shouted loudly.

However, it was too late.

Cui'er's body drooped limply without any struggle, and she had already stopped breathing.

"Cui'er!" Qingqing ran over and was heartbroken to see that Qingqing was dead. She hugged Cui'er's body and tears fell like rain.

Lin Wanwan suppressed the grief in her heart and said, "Go back, Qingqing."

Lin Wanwan, with a sad look on her face, pulled the crying Qingqing back to the East Courtyard.

Lin Wanwan returned to her room, Hua Yu was still sleeping soundly on the bed. In the dim candlelight, she solemnly opened the secret letter Cui Er handed over.

These letters turned out to be evidence that Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe and Third Prince Lin Gao were trying to win over Ye Zhaobo.

It turns out that Ye Zhaobo supported Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe openly, but was still entangled with Lin Gao in private.

The letter mentioned the possibility of launching a coup many times, and the key figure in whether the coup would succeed was the 300,000 troops under the command of General Wang Luda.

From the content of the letter, Lin Wanwan speculated that General Wang was loyal to his country, very upright, and had not yet taken sides.

She was well aware of the complexity and cruelty of the court struggles, and Ye Zhaobo, who was caught up in it, had obviously become a key figure in the two princes' struggle for power.

There was another account book, which recorded in detail the amount of money Ye Zhaobo had embezzled or accepted in bribes, as well as their sources, involving many officials and wealthy businessmen.

A stack of land deeds and a map marked the farmland of the common people that Ye Zhaobo had illegally occupied, as well as the illegal stronghold he had secretly built.

Ye Zhaobo may seem ordinary, but he actually has deep roots and thriving leaves.

Late at night, Ye Zhaobo and his family returned to the west courtyard of the Princess's Mansion drunk.

The night was as dark as water. The candle in Wang Yiner's room had gone out and she had already fallen asleep.

"Bang bang bang."

A knock on the door woke her up. She got up and opened the door. It was her drunk elder sister Wang Yinyi.

Wang Yinyi wanted to enter the room, but she lost her balance and fell at the door.

"Sister, how much have you drunk?" Wang Yiner squatted down and tried to help her up.

No matter how hard I pulled, it wouldn't move.

"Sisi...Sisi is going to be the Crown Princess." Wang Yinyi laughed and said, "Sisi is going to be the Crown Princess! The Crown Prince said that he wants His Majesty to grant the marriage."

Hearing this, Wang Yin'er hurriedly asked, "Sister, are you telling the truth?"

Wang Yinyi murmured and repeated, "She will soon become... the Crown Princess..."

Wang Yin'er stood up and paced back and forth in the room with a gloomy face. The cruelty and pride in her heart gnawed at her soul like a poisonous snake.

Ye Sisi is about to become the Crown Princess, and we must not let that Lin Wanwan ruin this good thing! Wang Yiner gnashed her teeth and muttered to herself.

At this time, Fen Tao saw that his wife was not in the room, so he hurried over to look for her.

"lady……"

Wang Yin'er turned around abruptly, staring at Tao Hong fiercely: "Tomorrow, you will put poison in Lin Wanwan's food. As long as you do it cleanly and neatly, I will make sure that Lin Wanwan dies."

Fen Tao was so scared that she quickly lowered her head: "Then how should I start?"

Wang Yin'er looked sinister and lowered her voice: "Didn't I tell you? Find an opportunity to mix poison into her food."

"But, I don't usually go to the East Courtyard. What if I'm discovered..." Fen Tao's voice trembled, full of worry.

Wang Yin'er slapped Fen Tao hard: "You are such a coward! If you dare to say anything more, I will sell you to a brothel!"

Fen Tao covered her red and swollen face and said timidly: "I will do my best."

Wang Yiner took a deep breath and calmed down: "Go, get the poison, and we'll find a chance to do it tomorrow."

……

The next day, at the Princess's residence.

The sunlight was cut into mottled light and shadow by the carved window lattices, and fell on the bluestone ground.

Qingqing watched as Cui'er's body was discovered, covered with a white cloth, and carried out of the house by two servants.

Qingqing's tears couldn't stop flowing.

Lin Wanwan looked sad: "Qingqing, take some money to buy Cui'er a good coffin, and give some money to the two servants. Watch them find a good place to bury Cui'er properly."

Qingqing nodded quickly, took the silver and followed him out.

Until the afternoon, Wang Yin'er, wearing a brocade dress embroidered with intricate patterns, with a sinister light flashing in her eyes, she looked at Qingqing returning home with red eyes, and felt unlucky.

Suddenly, looking at Qingqing, she gave a sinister smile.

She wandered in the courtyard for a long time and finally found an opportunity. While the kitchen was busy and noisy, she slipped into the kitchen with light but stealthy footsteps.

In the kitchen, the fire was blazing, the steam was billowing, and the clattering of pots and pans was annoying.

Wang Yin'er carefully avoided everyone's sight, took out a small paper bag from her arms, and quickly put the deadly poison into a bowl of Tremella soup.

At this time, Fen Tao just entered the kitchen.

Wang Yiner: "Come here, take this bowl of Tremella soup and give it to Lin Wanwan's personal maid Qingqing, and pull her aside to chat about family matters.

Hearing this, Fen Tao did not dare to resist and could only respond, "Yes."

Fen Tao took the Tremella soup and went out, feeling nervous and trembling all the way.

Wang Yiner was not optimistic about Fen Tao's performance, and she was staring at Fen Tao in the dark.

Fen Tao took the food. Although she was afraid, she did not dare to disobey Wang Yiner's order. She could only bite the bullet and walk towards Lin Wanwan's residence.
