The Third Prince wants to place someone in the palace, it wouldn't be this troublesome, it would simply be a matter of speaking a word, and it certainly wouldn't become entangled with the gossip about the Minister of Imperial Treasury.
He looked at Pei Yunmeng, fell silent for a moment, then said, "Could it be another prince?"
Pei Yunmeng shook his head.
In Shengjing, where the waters run deep and the bureaucratic relationships are intricate and complex, there is one certainty, neither the Third Prince nor any other prince would use a commoner woman as an important pawn.
It is the arrogance of the powerful.
