Ye Zhenyu's scheme failed, leading to Lai Manting being on the brink of execution by Lingchi, implicating Ye Zhengmo and demoting him to Commandery Prince.
Consort Xian was furious at this outcome.
She had considered Lai Manting as a pawn, using her to constantly monitor Ye Zhenyu. Who would have thought that last year the Emperor wanted to betroth Lai Manting to the Crown Prince?
Fortunately, Lai Manting had already fallen in love with Ye Zhenyu, and there should be a spy beside the Crown Prince as well, so she suddenly thought of Leng Yu Yan.
This led to the Emperor's betrothal.
Unexpectedly, ever since Leng Yu Yan was brought back to the capital, the girl became the biggest variable in her plan.
It could be said that Leng Yu Yan was never under her control.
Now, Leng Yu Yan has become the Crown Prince's strongest support, their young couple becoming her and Ye Zhengmo's staunchest enemies.
