Yi Ran continued, "Charles is dead, and... that person, who is outside, hasn’t returned yet. The situation is turbulent, changing rapidly, and there are three main beneficiaries. Firstly, the Blue Mansion, secondly, Chris from Fanbang, who was once overshadowed by Charles, and thirdly, Charles’s brother William. Both Chris and William have close ties with the Blue Mansion. Additionally, Shu Yu and that Lady Dong also reside in the Blue Mansion."
"Therefore, I speculate that Shu Yu has a very cold temperant and never makes promises lightly. The fact that we beca friends was entirely my doing. Yet, he agreed to play the qin for for a month to help sleep, which is exceedingly rare. This indicates that the person has a significant relationship with him. Furthermore, Lady Dong’s involvent in this affair proves that the person is also soone Lady Dong knows and cares for deeply."
"Moreover, I seem to recall Shu Yu ntioning that the person might be his elder brother? But I’m not certain; my mory is far from reliable these days due to my sleeplessness."
Elder Sun looked pensive, "In any case, whoever it is, they have been subjected to subterfuge, and both Shu Yu and Lady Dong are concerned about this person."
"Yes!"
After responding, Yi Ran hesitated a mont, "Additionally, I speculate that this subterfuge is likely the handiwork of that woman... it’s her, Ji Liuli, the Seventh Princess, she’s behind it."
As the na of the Seventh Princess was ntioned, a struggle briefly flashed in Yi Ran’s eyes.
Many years ago, there was a young man who revered her as the heavens, willing to do anything for her, even staining his hands with blood, even transforming into an Asura, even descending into hell.
Seventh Sister,
Seventh Princess.
But now, even recalling the past, all he feels is disgust.
How foolish he was back then?
He grew up in the Royal Family, was adopted by Her Majesty the Empress, a foster son to the Empress. Clearly accustod to intrigue from a young age, he fell for it just because that person treated him well.
When she smiled, the sky was clear, and when she was angry, he too was thunderstruck.
Once she saved the Empress from a frightened horse and lost the use of her legs, thus losing eligibility to compete for the throne, unable to be nad Princess Royal. The Empress sent her to Jiangnan, both for protection, and despite Ninth Sister and Xiao Shiyi’s advice, he followed.
Even, even for her, he...
Yi Ran painfully covered his eyes.
He does not want to recall, does not want to rember anymore.
No woman in this world is good!
And he is not a good person either.
He trembled, looking at his hands, as if returning to that day.
Xiao Shiyi was a tag-along, when he was young, he clung to Lao Qi, and Xiao Shiyi clung to him, but in the end, Xiao Shiyi fell dying in a pool of blood.
He did it.
He made it happen!!
These sins, even in death, cannot be washed away!!
"Ah Ran, you can’t be too naïve. How can you bla for all this? Did I ever command you? You cannot lay the bla on . Ninth Sister now targets you, just to avenge Xiao Shiyi."
"Our royal matters are for the Royal Family to handle. Truth be told, Mother Empress granted you the na Ji Yiran, giving you a royal surna, but you are, in essence, an outsider."
"This power struggle isn’t sothing you can be involved in."
"Locking you in this prison today, don’t bla for being ruthless. Ninth Sister is too powerful, and... you killed her most beloved sister."
