nce we're going to be given silver anyway, why can't we adopt a higher stance and make everyone and public opinion stand on our sideFarmers all make a living from the soil. Just a quick calculation sh...After Cui Zhu agreed to marry in place of her young mistress, she began helping Xia Qingran prepare for the wedding. On the day they were secretly sent to Meng's family courtyard, the two switched identities. Anyway, except for Xia's father, no one knew who the real Xia Qingran was.

Thus, ten days later, the wedding procession arrived at the border. The original body became Meng Lianyi, bidding farewell to General Meng and his family before getting into the palanquin. Escorted by border generals all the way, the original body rushed towards the imperial city.

The first half of the journey was relatively safe thanks to the escort provided by the Meng family army. When the Meng family army escorted the original body to the next checkpoint, they had to return, and the remaining half of the journey became rather dangerous because they encountered bandits who attempted to rob and kill them.

The person who was attacking her, she had no idea who it was. Anyway, the day before they were about to enter the imperial city, they encountered an attack again. This time, however, the other party failed. She was escorted back to the palace by the prince leading his troops.

Next came the prince's wedding. Sadly, on the night of the wedding, when the prince lifted the bride's veil, the original body suddenly vomited blood and died. After death, her face was pale, her lips were purplish-blue, clearly showing signs of poisoning.

The crown princess died on her wedding night, which is a very bad omen.

The Crown Prince was also very angry. Without even investigating, he declared that the original owner had committed suicide by poisoning because she didn't want to marry him. This must have been General Meng's doing, and immediately transferred his anger to General Meng at the border.

This also gave the old emperor an excuse to recall General Meng to the imperial city, take back his military power, and appoint a new general to guard the border.

Although Xia Fuzhang wasn't implicated, he still lost his daughter. He swore to General Meng that his daughter wouldn't commit suicide. To eliminate any future troubles, he even disposed of his own concubine, Lang Huan.

General Meng also knew that Xia, his deputy general, would certainly not do such a thing. After all, the two of them shared both honor and disgrace. If he was in trouble, Xia would be too. He did not doubt Xia at all.

Although General Meng did not lose his military power, his two sons were trapped in the imperial city and had no opportunity to use their skills. After the Crown Prince ascended the throne, they were never given important positions.

After her death, she was uneasy about General Meng, so she stayed as a ghost for a while. She learned that because of her death, General Meng had been implicated and developed resentment. It was this resentment that led to this mission.

After receiving the original body's memories, Ripples stood up and returned to the servant's quarters. She didn't even take off her clothes before lying flat on the kang bed and beginning to communicate with the mortar.

"What did the mortar's original wish"

"To marry properly, even if I die, I must marry the prince and absolutely not implicate General Meng. I must also strive to secure benefits for him."

"Sure, no problem. Anything else"

If possible, she hoped the Tasker would live forever, becoming General Meng's steadfast support.

No problem.

Also, the original body has already reincarnated. This time, your task is to stay in this world until the original body's natural death before you can leave.

She was not good at palace intrigues, so she chose to be reincarnated.

The ripples replied with certainty.

"Yes, she was just an orphaned girl from the border, who couldn't recognize many characters. On her first night in the Eastern Palace, she was poisoned. Even if you solved all her problems, she wouldn't live to see the time when she could fight for General Meng's greatest interests."

The stone mill readily admitted it.

"The original body's wish is not difficult to fulfill, why did you give me this mission I'm at least a high-level tasker now."

The ripples suddenly asked.

"This mission is definitely not easy, but for now the only lead we have is Jade."

"Why"

Due to the struggle for the throne, the Wei state fell into years of war. After the old emperor's death, his three sons fought fiercely for that supreme position.

Ultimately, the barbarians outside the pass took advantage of the situation and entered, breaking through the border defenses and penetrating deep into the Wei state, burning, killing, and looting. For a time, the people were in dire straits.

The millstone watched the world's plot unfold, shaking its head in resignation.

"So miserable"

"What do you think In ten years, how many people have died Over half of Wei's young and middle-aged men are dead. The birth rate has been almost zero for the past decade. Do you know what this means"

"I understand! I will do my best to prevent this from happening."

The ripples spoke in a hushed voice.

"The people suffer in prosperity, and the people suffer in ruin! You do your best, and I will remind you when you trigger the relevant events. Your first task is to smoothly marry into the East Palace, preventing the Emperor from having the opportunity to reclaim General Meng's military power."

"I understand."

The ripple's answer was very concise.

After a sleepless night, Lian Yi woke up and immediately did what a personal maid should do.

Xia Qingran didn't sleep soundly that night. This was the first time she had experienced something like this. Just a few days ago, she was happily thinking about marrying the prince, but now she was trying every means to avoid it.

"Miss, don't overthink it. Everything will be fine."

The ripples feigned consolation.

"Cui Zhu, I'm truly scared. Now, the only one I can believe in is you."

Xia Qingran said in a low voice.

"Miss, please rest assured. You have been kind to me. If it weren't for you buying me back as a maidservant, I wouldn't know if I could have survived. My entire village only has me left alive."

Ripple immediately said.

This is indeed the case. At the time, Cui Zhu was only ten years old and an orphan. Even if she had been rescued, she wouldn't have been able to support herself. Fortunately, she was valued by Xia Qing Ran, which allowed her to enter the Xia family.

Although life is ordinary, at least I'm not starving. As long as Xia Qingran is taken care of, the rest doesn't matter.

Actually, the original owner was prepared by Lang Huan for her own daughter. The purpose was also to serve as a maidservant accompanying her when she got married.

Xia Qingran never imagined she'd encounter such a situation. Furthermore, with Lang Huan's instructions in mind, she treated Cui Zhu and Yan Yue kindly these past two days, hoping to persuade them willingly to help her. Now, with Cui Zhu's words, her heart feels half at ease.

Three days later, Xia Fujiang came to see his daughter in person:

"Ranran, get ready, someone is coming to pick you up tonight."

"Father, may I bring Cui Zhu with me She is my trusted maid, and I feel uneasy without her."

Xia Fuzhang glanced at Cui Zhu outside the door, furrowed his brow, and finally shook his head. He knew that although Cui Zhu's deed of sale was in their hands, this matter was too important, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so as to avoid leaks.

"No, only you can go. No one else is allowed."

"Father, Cuizhu has been with me since she was little. If I suddenly disappeared, she would certainly be worried. It's better if before I leave, I find an excuse to let her go, as a way of fulfilling our master-servant relationship."

Xia Qingran deliberately reddened her eyes and said.

"You handle this, best to get it done before you leave so as not to cause trouble at home."

Yes, Father.

After Xia Jiangjun left, Xia Qingran slumped onto a stool. Originally, she planned to go to Mengfu with Cui Zhu, swap identities there, and then leave.

Now that her father won't let her take Cuizhu away, what should she do now

"Miss, what's wrong"ld that she was getting married. As the long procession walked out of the border city, Liàn Yī lifted the veil and raised her hand to lift the curtain of the sedan chair, gazing at Mèng Guǎngshēn ridi...
