  "Those who want to seize the throne, apart from the son of Empress Song who holds the throne, Crown Prince. There is also the son of Noble Consort Lou, Second Imperial Son. And the son of Consort Mei, Fifth Imperial Son, which is you. I won't help the Song family, nor will I help the Lou family, so the only choice left is you."

  "No one can work for nothing, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

  Luo Shengchang's face was filled with a smile, and no one disliked clever people: "I want you to help me find out who is responsible for the Luo family's extermination this time, and after finding out, I want you to help me kill him."

  Lian Zhiyan retorted, "Why should I help you? You should know that it's possible for me to sit in that position even without you."

  Luo Shengchang's smile deepened, but with a hint of cunning: "Because you and I are the same kind of people, on the surface it seems like we can tolerate anyone. But in our hearts, we're more ruthless than anyone else."

  Hearing this, Lian Zhiyan burst out laughing: "Haha, I love that line 'more ruthless than anyone else'. For the sake of that sentence, I agree to help you, and you must also go all out to help me seize the throne. Otherwise, I'll let you see that I'm actually even more ruthless than you."

  Lou Shengchang said: "I will not betray you until you ascend to the throne."

  The Lou family has an advantage that the Song family does not, which is to share weal and woe. In this situation, they can still rely on each other, a small illegitimate child, not for turning over a new leaf, but for revenge.

  If it were the Song family, they would have been abandoned by their relatives and friends long ago.

  Inside the palace, this was the first time that Empress Lü had left her own palace since the fall of the Lü clan. The Lü clan may have fallen, but she couldn't afford to fall.

  She came to the imperial garden, wanting to take a look at the flowers and grass to improve her mood. But unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the garden, she heard bursts of laughter coming from the pavilion not far away.

  Originally, this shouldn't have anything to do with her, but she heard words like 'Empress Dowager', 'Consort Lou', and 'downfall'.

  Lou Guifei's fist was clenched, and she turned her head to look at the pavilion. Inside, there was a person she recognized at a glance - Wei Jieyu. It seemed that she still had not changed her ways, thinking that as long as she didn't leave the palace, she could speak recklessly outside. This time, Lou Guifei would not let her off!

  She looked at the pruning shears in the corner of the garden, walked over slowly, and picked them up. She opened the shears and moved them in Wei Zifu's direction, then snapped them shut. A smile appeared on her lips, and with the shears in hand, she headed towards the pavilion, the smile growing deeper on her face.

  When Wei Zifu saw the sudden appearance of Lou Guifei, she was startled. The scene from last time clearly floated in her mind. Now looking at the smile on Lou Guifei's face, she couldn't help but tremble slightly. She didn't know if she had heard the words just now.

  Lou Guifei sat down as if nothing was wrong and said, "What are you sisters talking about? As soon as I entered the garden, I heard laughter."

  Wei Zifu hastily waved her hand and said: "Nothing, nothing. We were just talking, talking..."

  "What did you say?" asked Lou Guifei, raising an eyebrow.

  "They say... they say that the second young lady of the Song family is quite beautiful, I don't know which prince will have the good fortune to marry her."

  Everyone heard this and hastily echoed: "Yes, we were just talking about this."

  It's clear they still don't know the fact that Song Lingluo's face has been destroyed.

  "I didn't expect Concubine Lou to slap the table and stand up, saying: 'Nonsense! This palace clearly heard it just now. You were talking about me and the Empress, as well as the Lou family. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so evasive just now. Wei Zhiyu, this palace should have warned you before, don't chatter behind my back for no reason!"
