Zhao Mingzhu looked at the Crown Prince and said, "As long as you agree to give me the position of Crown Princess, our Zhao Family will definitely do our utmost to help you."

The Zhao Family was not an ordinary family, but a family of military generals.

The Zhao Family now has three generals who command a large army. If we can gain the support of the Zhao Family, the crown prince's ascension to the throne will be just around the corner.

He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Alright, I promise to give you the position of Crown Princess."

Zhao Mingzhu smiled broadly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I'll go and fetch Zhou Wanwan right away."

She ran to Zhou Wanwan's bedside, and just as she was about to speak, something covered her mouth.

She mumbled "uh-uh-uh" for a long time without uttering a single word.

The Old Scholar Tree snorted coldly and said, "Our Wanwan just fell asleep, how could this woman be so wicked?"

"Wanwan already has enough to do every day, and she still comes to bother us. It's really awful."

Zhao Yuzhu rushed over, but before she could speak, her mouth was also covered.

Zhou Wanwan slept soundly that night, even though it was winter, because she was protected by the Old Scholar Tree and her Old Ancestor.

Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Yuzhu were shivering from the cold outside.

The Crown Prince and the Second Princess were in no better shape, Eunuch Xu even fainted from the cold.

The next morning, Zhou Wanwan woke up, stretched, and saw Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Yuzhu sitting on the ground, staring blankly at her.

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Mingzhu said, "Zhou Wanwan... you slept so soundly, we didn't sleep a wink all night, we were freezing."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "No, you can sleep whenever you want! Nobody's stopping you."

Zhao Mingzhu stomped her feet in anger. "We wanted to sleep, but those things covered our mouths and we couldn't move at all! What are those things?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "I don't know, maybe she's possessed by a ghost."

Zhou Wanwan went to wash up; even when she's out, she needs to be clean every day.

The water for washing your face was lukewarm. The Old Scholar Tree sneered, "Serves you right. Who told them to come and wake you up so late at night? You brought it on yourself."

The Old Ancestor said, "Breakfast is ready for you today. Would you like to eat it now?"

Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw that the small table next to her was filled with all kinds of breakfast: eel noodles, chicken soup noodles with shredded pork, fresh fish soup noodles, large wontons with fresh meat, steamed buns with braised pork, pan-fried dumplings with scallion oil, braised tofu, pickled radish, osmanthus sugar cake, tea eggs...

Zhou Wanwan looked at the bowl of eel noodles and said, "I wonder what the eel noodles are like here? I'd like to try them."

She took several bites, nodded, and said, "This topping is pretty good!"

The Third Princess, the Seventh Princess, Zhao Mingzhu, Zhao Yuzhu, who were standing nearby, all stared blankly at the food.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Third Princess and the Seventh Princess and said, "Why don't you try some? This chicken soup with shredded pork noodles and fresh fish soup noodles are also available for you."

The third princess swallowed hard and said, "Really? Oh dear, I'm starving!"

She sat down and started eating with her chopsticks.

The seventh princess didn't hold back either.

Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Yuzhu looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "Can we eat this?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Of course! But you have to pay. I won't say this bowl is too expensive, how about 100 taels of silver?"

Zhao Mingzhu stomped her feet in anger. "100 taels of silver? You might as well rob us!"

Suddenly, the Great Qi of Daqi spoke up, "Mingzhu, didn't you say you had something to discuss with Zhou Wanwan?"

Zhao Mingzhu looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "How much money do you want for helping me save the Second Princess and the Crown Prince?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhao Mingzhu and said, "It depends on how much they're worth in your heart; they certainly won't be worth too little."

Zhao Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "100,000 taels of silver."

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said:

"You're going to be the Crown Princess, you can't just give me this little bit of money, can you?"

I remember you own 10 estates; I want all of them.

Zhao Mingzhu's eyes widened as she asked, "Why don't you just rob it?"

"I was robbing you! Didn't you realize?"

Zhao Mingzhu sighed and finally compromised. Ten sets of estates were agreed upon, and the contracts were quickly written.

Only after finishing writing did Zhou Wanwan begin treating the Great Qi.

After waiting for more than an hour, the two finally opened their eyes.

The Great Qi shifted his foot and said, "It's really good! Zhou Wanwan, you've really got some skills!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

The Crown Prince looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Actually, I think you're really quite capable. Anyway, the position of the principal wife is impossible for you, but you still have a chance to think about the position of the concubine."

Zhou Wanwan's lips twitched; this person's brain is really not working properly.

Just ignore them.

In the evening, Zhou Wanwan finished dinner and was preparing to go to bed.

The crown prince looked at her and said, "Zhou Wanwan, where did you get your dinner from? And where did you get this bed from?"

Zhou Wanwan glanced at him indifferently and said, "What's it to you?"

"I'll ask you one more time, where did you get this bed from?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "Of course it was brought in from outside. Do you think I can conjure it up?"

"Outside? You mean, you can go out?"

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "We should be able to get out! It's not that difficult."

The crown prince was furious. "You mean you can lead us out, but you just won't leave, is that what you mean?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "That's right! You didn't ask me to take you out. Taking you out would cost a different price."

The crown prince, enraged, laughed and said, "You're really something. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "What are you so angry about? I kindly saved you, and not only are you ungrateful, you even wanted to kill me?"

The crown prince looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Get us out of here right now, or I'll kill you right now."

He was about to draw his sword when he discovered that it had suddenly broken in two.

He pulled out his dagger, but to his surprise, it also broke in two.

He looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "What exactly did you do to me?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled slightly and said, "Don't push everything onto me. I didn't even lift a finger, okay?"

Zhou Wanwan wasn't in a hurry to go back, since he was eating and drinking well every day anyway.

But the others are anxious!

Zhao Mingzhu looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "What exactly do you want? How much money will it cost if you take us back?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Ten thousand taels each, do you think that's reasonable? Sign and put your fingerprints on it, and I'll take you back."

Each of these people contributed 10,000 taels of silver, and Zhou Wanwan quickly brought them out.

Zhao Mingzhu opened her eyes and found that they had reached the outer perimeter. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhou Wanwan, how did you do that?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "It's very simple, but unfortunately I can't tell you. Now it's my turn to go back with you to get the silver and the estate."
