In this tense atmosphere, the bedroom of Crown Prince Jin Xiao appears unusually quiet. Since the sudden death of Beauty Wu, the prince's emotions have become even heavier.
In Crown Prince Jin Xiao's bedroom, the candlelight flickers, casting a reflection on his gloomy face.
He sat alone in a chair, his eyes filled with deep thoughts. He recalled the various experiences with Beauty Wu, his heart filled with pain and confusion.
"Why is all this happening?" the prince asked himself, his doubts growing deeper.
A loyal eunuch quietly entered the palace and, upon seeing the prince in such a state, couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He softly said, "Your Highness, you haven't had a proper meal for several days. Your health is important."
Jin Xiao lifted his head, gazing emptily at the old eunuch, and responded softly, "I have lost my appetite. The passing of Beauty Wu has left me unsettled."
The eunuch worriedly said, "Your Highness, you need to stay calm. The situation in the palace is complicated, and we cannot afford to act rashly."
Jin Xiao stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the moonlight outside, and sighed, "I don't know where to go from here, the power struggles in the palace, Beauty Wu's death... it's all suffocating me."
The eunuch walked gently to the side of the crown prince and comforted him, "Your Highness, the people of the world look up to you. You are the future of our nation. No matter what happens, you must stay strong."
At the same time, on the outskirts of the palace, a group of ministers is plotting.
"This selection for the crown princess is an opportunity for us," a young minister said in a low voice.
Another senior minister shook his head and said, "But the prince's reputation has already been damaged, we need to proceed with caution."
The third minister furrowed his brow and said, "We must find someone who can influence the prince, perhaps we can benefit from it."
At the market, the public's reactions are even more complex and varied.
A vendor said to the stall owner next to him, "Have you heard? The crown princess's selection has begun. This is going to be quite a show."
Vendor shook his head in response, "Yes, but the prince's reputation is not as good as before. I don't know how many people will participate."
A passing woman joined the conversation, "I heard that this time there are no requirements for the family background of the girls, and anyone has a chance."
In a teahouse, several literati are discussing the matter.
"The crown princess's selection this time is truly unprecedented," one literatus said.
Another literati nodded, "Indeed, but considering the recent behavior of the crown prince, there may be many hidden worries."
The third literati tapped the table lightly, "This may be the beginning of a new round of power games in the court."
Outside the palace, there are mixed reactions among the public regarding the news of the crown princess selection, but it still continues to spark lively discussions among many people.
A young woman excitedly tells her friend, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I must participate in this selection."
Her friend responds with concern, "But have you considered what life will be like after entering the palace? The prince's abnormal behavior is well known."
In a bustling market, a group of merchants are discussing this topic.
"The crown princess's selection, this will be big news," one merchant said.
Another merchant nodded in agreement, "Indeed, but who would be willing to send their own daughter into such a tiger's den?"
In a quiet courtyard, two noblewomen were discussing in low voices.
"This crown princess selection is truly a bold move," a lady said.
Another lady nodded in response, "Indeed, but I heard that the prince's recent behavior has been extremely unusual. We should carefully consider whether we should participate in this selection."
At another corner of the market, the public's reaction was even more direct.
An excited young woman said to her friend, "Just imagine, how great it would be if I could become a crown princess."
Her friend replied with concern, "But have you considered the life in the palace? The rules and conspiracies there are not so simple."
Back in the palace, Empress Sun is discussing this matter with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this upcoming crown princess selection will be a turning point," Empress Sun said.
The emperor frowned, "But what if no one is willing? What should we do then?"
Empress Sun smiled, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. This selection is not only for the crown prince, but also for the future of the country."
In every corner of the Jing Kindom Palace, there are mysteries and shadows lurking.
Yun Che, Wu Ling, and Chin'er continued to search for the truth about the white mist, the prince's abnormal behavior, and the mysterious influence behind Empress Sun in the palace.
These secrets seem to be closely linked to the future of the entire country, and they must proceed with caution to avoid unnecessary disturbance.
Wu Ling said, "This selection might be an opportunity for us."
Yun Che nodded, "Indeed, we can use this to gain a deeper understanding of the situation in the palace."
"How do you want to seize this opportunity?" Chin'er asked.
A hint of calculation flashed in Yun Che's eyes as he slowly said, "We can use this selection to get close to the core of the royal family. Through observation and participation, we may discover more secrets hidden deep within the court."
Wu Ling Nodding in agreement, there was a hint of determination in her eyes: "I agree, this is not only an opportunity to understand the palace, but also a key to uncovering the truth."
Chin'er After a moment of deep thought, she then said, "So, how should we proceed? Should we directly participate in the selection?"
Yun Che nodded, speaking firmly: "Yes. We should start from the inside. I will disguise myself as an official participating in the selection, which will allow me to get closer to the core information. Wu Ling, your wit and sharpness can provide support from the outside."
Wu Ling nodded gently, "I understand. I will gather information outside the palace and keep in touch with you."
Chin'er said, "I can use my maid identity to investigate internally and find more secrets about the Crown Prince and Empress Sun."
Yun Che looked at them and said, "This mission is extremely dangerous, we must be very cautious. Any improper action could lead to unnecessary trouble."
Wu Ling With a slight smile: "Don't worry, we are ready. As long as we can expose the truth, any risk is worth enduring."
Chin'er suggested: "It seems that there are not enough officials participating in the selection. Shall we arrange for a woman to participate in the selection to help us better understand the truth?"
Yun Che nodded in agreement, "Good idea, I already have a suitable candidate in mind, it's Chuan Yun. She also understands martial arts, so she's the perfect choice."
