In a quiet palace, the midday sun shines into the magnificent room.
Wang Fengluan, the sister of Consort Yang, sits upright on the couch, her eyes shining with thoughtful contemplation.
This elegant lady has always been deeply aware of the royal family's status. She deeply loves Wang Shimeng, her daughter, who also loves this family deeply.
However, recent developments have made her uneasy. The rise of the Zhao family threatens the royal family's position, especially Empress Zhao's son, Li Changyu, whose ascent poses a threat to Li Chung-Shen, her cousin and Wang Shimeng's childhood sweetheart.
Wang Fengluan knows that if Li Changyu ascends to the throne, it will be a serious blow to the royal family.
To protect the interests of the royal family, Wang Fengluan must devise a clever conspiracy.
The timing is crucial now, and it is important to have enough leverage to face future challenges.
So, she decided to set up the situation in advance and kill Wang Minyi's stepmother - Zhu Fangyu. Zhu Fangyu is Wang Minyi's biological mother and also her husband's concubine.
Zhu Fangyu had just given birth to a baby boy, and she was in a very fragile state at the moment. The decision was not easy, but for the sake of the family, Wang Fengluan knew she had to do it.
Consort Yang walked into the palace hall and saw her sister's serious expression, so she asked, "Fengluan, what are you thinking about?"
Wang Fengluan cast a cautious glance at his sister.
"Sister, the rise of the Zhao family is undoubtedly a huge threat to our royal family. If Li Changyu is made crown prince, our royal family's position will surely be shaken. Therefore, we must also place a piece on this chessboard to ensure that the interests of the royal family are not affected."
Consort Yang took a deep breath, fully aware of her sister's words. She was not someone who enjoyed political intrigue, but when pushed to the edge, they had no choice but to set up a scheme.
"What is your plan then?" Consort Yang asked.
Wang Fengluan's mouth lifted into a slight smile, with a clever glint in her eyes: "We need a pawn, someone who can get close to Li Changyu and maintain a good relationship with him. This way, we can gather some key information and respond appropriately at critical moments."
Consort Yang nodded, indicating her understanding of her sister's strategy: "So, who do you plan to assign this task to?"
Wang Fengluan pondered for a moment before answering, " Wang Shimeng, by establishing a friendly relationship with Second Prince, we can grasp the changes in the situation and adapt accordingly. In the near future, I will use Wang Shimeng as an excuse for her to accompany you as a daughter of the royal family, allowing her to serve in the palace. This way, she will have the opportunity to get close to Li Changyu. However, the arrangement for this part will need you, sister, to figure out a way, and be sure not to let Third Prince notice."
Consort Yang nodded in agreement. This is a risky task, but for the benefit of the family, they had to take the risk.
"Okay, Fengluan, we will proceed with your plan. But you must be careful and ensure the safety of our Wang Family," Consort Yang said firmly, with a hint of worry and determination in her eyes.
Wang Fengluan nodded in understanding.
In a secluded side hall of the Royal Residence, Wang Fengluan sat on a mahogany chair, with a flickering and uncertain light in his eyes.
In front of her, a woman dressed in dark clothes knelt on the ground. She was Zhu Fangyu, Wang Minyi's stepmother.
"Zhu Fangyu, do you know what your existence means to our royal family?" Wang Fengluan's voice was calm and authoritative.
Zhu Fangyu lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly: "I know my humble identity is unpleasant to hear, but I have always been careful and will never bring trouble to the royal family."
Wang Fengluan snorted coldly, "No matter how much you try to conceal it, your existence itself is a mistake. The royal family is currently in a precarious situation, and we must make some decisions."
Zhu Fangyu raised his head, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. "Mrs. Wang, are you saying...?"
"You must die," Wang Fengluan said coldly and mercilessly.
Zhu Fangyu trembled, tears welling up in his eyes. "Mrs. Wang, I beg you, I still have two young children..."
Wang Fengluan slowly stood up, her figure elongated in the candlelight, appearing particularly dignified. "Zhu Fangyu, I will take care of your children. But you must disappear."
Zhu Fangyu's face showed a hint of despair, and she suddenly knelt down, tears moistening her cheeks. "I understand now, Mrs. Wang. I will leave and never appear again."
Wang Fengluan's face, however, showed no mercy. She said coldly, "No, you still don't understand. Your departure must be permanent."
Zhu Fangyu's face instantly turned pale, and she finally understood Wang Fengluan's intentions. She trembled as she spoke, almost in tears: " Mrs. Wang, I beg you, spare me."
Wang Fengluan turned around and waved to the guards outside the door. Two men in black swiftly entered the room, their movements quick and silent, their eyes cold and ruthless.
Zhu Fangyu looked at the approaching men in black with fear, involuntarily stepping back. "No, please don't do this, I beg you..."
One of the men in black said coldly, "Madam Zhu, please come with us."
Zhu Fangyu's eyes were filled with fear, and her body kept trembling. "I don't want to die yet, I really don't want to die..."
Wang Fengluan turned away, not looking at Zhu Fangyu anymore, her voice cold: "Take her away."
The men in black quickly lifted Zhu Fangyu despite her struggles and cries, and swiftly left the side hall.
Wang Fengluan quietly sat back in her chair, her eyes showing no emotion.
In the early morning, a female corpse was discovered next to the ancient well at Royal Residence. The body showed no signs of life when found, with a frozen expression of despair and fear on her face.
The servants inside the mansion privately discuss, but no one dares to speak openly. The royal family holds significant power, and touching on such taboos is unwise.
Upon learning this news, the young Wang Minyi feels shocked and uneasy. The tears shimmering in her eyes are quickly replaced by determination, as she silently thinks to herself, "It's not the time to resist now."
She swore to find out the cause of her mother's death and make the culprit pay the price.
