The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

Chapter 172 Palace Secrets

One evening, Haoyu summoned Wei An to discuss state affairs. The two sat opposite each other in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

"Lord Wei An's tax reform has been a great success. It is a blessing for the country and the people." Haoyu said with a smile, his eyes sparkling with admiration. "I know that the hardships here are all due to your hard work and diligence."

Wei An quickly stood up and bowed, saying modestly: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Everything I have done is my duty and I dare not take credit for it. The success of this tax reform is the result of your Majesty's wise leadership and the concerted efforts of all the officials."

Haoyu laughed out loud when he heard this, and he admired Wei An's humility and wisdom even more: "My dear, there is no need to be so modest. Your talents and contributions are obvious to all. I have my own opinion in my mind."

The two had an in-depth conversation about current state affairs and discussed the next government arrangements. Wei An, with his political acumen and profound knowledge, put forward many practical suggestions, which were highly recognized by Haoyu.

Late at night, Haoyu personally escorted Wei An out of the palace. Under the moonlight, the two of them stretched out their shadows in a long line, appearing particularly harmonious and warm. Haoyu looked at Wei An's back and felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. He knew that his feelings for Wei An had surpassed the ordinary friendship between a monarch and his subjects, but he also knew that this feeling could not be easily revealed.

"Wei An..." Haoyu called softly with a hint of hesitation and struggle in his tone, "You...be careful and take care of yourself."

Wei An stopped and turned to look at Haoyu, his eyes flashing with gratitude and determination: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will take good care of myself. For the future of Yunhan Country, I am willing to make every effort."

Haoyu nodded, a hint of helplessness and relief flashed in his eyes: "Okay... go ahead."

Wei An bowed and turned away, disappearing into the night. Haoyu looked at her back with mixed feelings, both admiration and appreciation for Wei An and helplessness and self-blame for himself.

The sky of Yunhan Kingdom is clear blue, the sun is shining, and the imperial city is peaceful and prosperous. Haoyu and Wei'an work together to govern the country, bringing unprecedented prosperity to this land. However, behind this glamorous scene, there are unknown undercurrents and secrets hidden deep in the palace.

One evening, the setting sun was like blood, shining on the glazed tiles of the palace, shining with golden light. Wei An finished a busy day and strolled in the corridor of the palace, but there was always a trace of inexplicable worry in her heart. Recently, she always felt that the atmosphere in the palace was subtle, as if something important was about to happen.

As she was lost in thought, a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a faint scent of ink. Wei An followed the scent and unknowingly came to a remote library. This library was usually deserted, and contained many ancient books and secrets.

Pushing open the door, a musty smell hit her face, mixed with the smell of decaying book pages. Wei An coughed lightly and walked into the pavilion. The dim candlelight flickered, illuminating the piles of ancient books around. She walked slowly, her eyes swept over the yellowed books, and a curiosity to explore the unknown surged in her heart.

Suddenly, an ancient book with a strange pattern carved on the cover caught her attention. This ancient book looked particularly old, and the pattern on the cover seemed to contain some mysterious power. Wei An carefully took out the ancient book, gently brushed off the dust on the cover, and slowly opened it.

As the pages turned, a stronger historical atmosphere came to her. This ancient book recorded the secret history of the royal family members of Yunhan Kingdom, including thrilling power struggles and love and hatred. Wei An flipped through the pages, shocked. She found that many of the royal family members she knew well had unknown secrets and pasts.

Just as she was immersed in the world of ancient books, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted her thoughts. Wei An quickly closed the ancient book and put it back in its place. Just as he was about to leave, he saw an old eunuch hurried over.

"General Wei, why are you here?" The old eunuch looked at Wei An in surprise, with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Wei An smiled slightly and replied calmly: "I happened to pass by here and saw that the door of the library was not locked, so I came in to take a look. I didn't expect to disturb you, father-in-law."

The old eunuch looked Wei An up and down, and seeing that she looked calm, he did not ask too many questions, but said calmly: "This is a royal forbidden area, and most of the books are confidential. It is better for the general not to come here."

Wei An nodded, bowed to the old eunuch, and hurriedly left the library. After returning to her residence, she couldn't calm down for a long time. The secrets revealed in the ancient book were too shocking, making her realize that the power struggle hidden in the palace was more complicated than she had imagined.

In the following days, Wei An began to secretly investigate the secrets mentioned in the ancient books. She used her wisdom and resources to verify the records in the ancient books one by one, and gradually uncovered shocking truths one after another.

It turns out that in the royal family of Yunhan Kingdom, there are not only complicated power struggles, but also many unsolved mysteries. Some royal family members seem to be glorious on the surface, but in fact they are burdened with deep sins and secrets; others seem to be ordinary, but in fact they possess extraordinary wisdom and power.
