Chapter 66: My Mother Actually Knew Wan Yan Jing?!

Xiao Gui stared for a second and said, “Tang Chuyao, you actually look quite good when you smile.”

“I know, I look good even when I don’t smile.”

Xiao Gui rolled her eyes. She really couldn’t tell that Tang Chuyao was also thick-skinned!

“I’m here to tell you something!”

“Although this Princess doesn’t like you very much, you are much more pleasing to the eye than Wan Yan Liyue.”

Wan Yan Liyue? Tang Chuyao searched her memory. She remembered that when she went to the palace to see her aunt last time, her aunt told her that Wan Yan Liyue was like Wan Yan Tan’s little princess, and Wan Yan Tan loved Wan Yan Liyue very much.

Xiao Gui glanced at Tang Chuyao and continued, “Wan Yan Liyue has long admired Gu Qingchen, and she once swore to marry him!”

After saying that, Xiao Gui looked at Tang Chuyao triumphantly, wanting to see a look of defeat on her face. She was probably going to be disappointed. Tang Chuyao was wearing a veil, so she couldn’t see Tang Chuyao’s expression.

Tang Chuyao shrugged and asked, “So what?”

Xiao Gui was speechless. Was she really reacting like this?

If she were Tang Chuyao, she would definitely be anxious!

Wan Yan Liyue was the most noble princess of the Liao Dynasty!

Moreover, she was stunningly beautiful, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry. She was simply the epitome of a noble lady!

“Aren’t you worried?” Xiao Gui asked in surprise.

“What’s there to worry about? What’s so great about a Liao princess? Can she steal someone’s husband?”

Xiao Gui shook her head. Finally, she understood why she was so indifferent, “You don’t understand!”

“Our Great Qi and the Liao Dynasty have always been allies, but in every dynasty, there have been princesses or princes who have married into the Liao royal family to solidify the relationship between the two countries!”

“If Wan Yan Liyue insists on marrying the Regent, then His Majesty will definitely grant them a marriage!”

“Even though you are already the Regent’s legitimate wife, Wan Yan Liyue will not be a concubine. So, she will most likely marry into the Regent’s Mansion as a co-wife.”

Speaking of this, Xiao Gui became a little worried, “Although I don’t like you very much.”

Tang Chuyao smiled and said, “The Princess has already said that, I know.”

Xiao Gui glanced at her with annoyance, “But, compared to Wan Yan Liyue, you are still not that annoying. So I came to tell you, just so you can be prepared!”

Tang Chuyao looked at Xiao Gui with a naive expression and asked, “Prepared for what?”

Xiao Gui was about to be driven crazy by her, “How can you be so dense?”

“I’ve said so much! Don’t you understand the situation?”

“This Princess hopes you can hold onto the Regent, don’t let Wan Yan Liyue steal him away!”

Xiao Gui’s voice unconsciously grew louder. Tang Chuyao used her little finger to scratch her ear and said, “Princess, I have something I don’t understand.”

Xiao Gui said with a straight face, “What is it?”

“Why is the Princess so afraid of this Liao princess?”

“Afraid?”

“That’s ridiculous, why would I be afraid of her?” Xiao Gui’s voice was particularly sharp.

Tang Chuyao quickly comforted her, “Calm down, calm down, you’re not afraid of her, Princess, don’t get excited.”

Xiao Gui was so angry that her chest was heaving. She held her chest and said, “Mind your own business!”

“Anyway, this Princess came here to let you prepare in advance!”

“If you can’t beat Wan Yan Liyue, this Princess will look down on you!”

After saying that, Xiao Gui left with her maidservant.

“Miss!” Dujian looked at her with some worry.

Tang Chuyao gave Dujian a reassuring look, “It’s okay, Dujian, don’t worry!”

“I’ve been through so much in my life, what’s one more thing to fear?” Tang Chuyao murmured softly. Dujian didn’t hear what Tang Chuyao said, she just felt that she was a little sad at the moment.

Seeing Tang Chuyao’s sadness, Dujian misunderstood her. She thought Tang Chuyao was sad because of the Regent, so she comforted her, “Miss, the Regent is so excellent, it’s normal for someone to like him. I can tell that the Regent actually cares about you quite a bit.”

Tang Chuyao came back to her senses and looked at Dujian, feeling warm in her heart. She reached out and took her hand, “Dujian, you’re right!”

Seeing Tang Chuyao cheer up, Dujian felt relieved.

Tang Chuyao took Dujian out and went to Baicao Fang. Fu Ling had already brewed tea and was waiting for Tang Chuyao.

“Young Miss, I have prepared a large amount of herbs according to your instructions. These herbs will be sent to the Northern Frontier soon. Is there anything else you need to prepare?”

Tang Chuyao admired Fu Ling’s efficiency.

“I will check again in the next few days to see if there are any omissions. I will have someone inform you then.”

“Okay, Young Miss. Zhang Wei has been brought to justice. Do you need me to bring Mei Changsheng back?”

“Not for now. Tang Youze asked Mei Changsheng to push Tang Chunan off the cliff, which means Mei Changsheng is carrying a life on his shoulders. He will be a pawn in Tang Youze’s hands for the rest of his life and won’t be able to cause any trouble.”

Tang Chuyao’s eyes flashed with a dark light when she mentioned Tang Youze.

“Aunt Fu Ling, please help me prepare these herbs as soon as possible. I have a use for them!” Tang Chuyao handed Fu Ling a list of herbs.

Fu Ling looked at the herbs on the list and frowned slightly, “Miss, many of these are rare herbs. It might be a bit troublesome to find them.”

Tang Chuyao also knew this, so she nodded, “That’s right, Aunt Fu Ling, just have people go and look for them. Find as many as you can.”

“Okay, this servant will try her best to find them for the Young Miss!”

Tang Chuyao chatted with Fu Ling for a while before returning to the mansion.

When she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she saw Aunt Lan waiting there.

“This concubine greets the Miss!”

Tang Chuyao took Aunt Lan into the courtyard and asked as they walked, “Aunt Lan, what’s the matter?”

Aunt Lan looked around and didn’t speak. Tang Chuyao understood, so she went back to her room with Aunt Lan.

Dujian immediately guarded the door. Actually, it didn’t matter if Dujian guarded the door or not. Tang Chuyao’s courtyard was also guarded by Sister Xiaoyu and Night Wind, so it was safe.

“Miss, this concubine found this in He Garden.” Aunt Lan lowered her voice and took a letter out of her sleeve.

Tang Chuyao took the letter from Aunt Lan’s hand. Judging from the envelope, this letter was quite old.

The powerful characters on the envelope were written in a strong and vigorous style, but Tang Chuyao couldn’t understand them. They seemed to be characters from another country.

She took out the letter paper. The paper was already yellowed, but it was preserved very well, showing that her mother cherished this letter very much.

Tang Chuyao quietly asked the system, “System, what does this letter say?”

The system’s words made Tang Chuyao feel a moment of surprise. She suddenly realized.

She asked Aunt Lan to go back first and told her to come find her immediately if she had any other discoveries.

Aunt Lan left after receiving Tang Chuyao’s instructions.

Tang Chuyao looked at the letter paper in front of her, her face full of shock!

These were Liao characters!

It was a letter from Wan Yan Jing to her mother!

My mother actually knew Wan Yan Jing?!
