Seeing Mingshu take the bait, the plan proceeded just as expected. Noble Lady Wei returned to her own palace in high spirits and saw someone sitting silently in front of the dressing table.
As she stepped through the door, her pace hesitated, her eyes shifted slightly, and she instructed her confidant to guard the door, then turned around and carefully closed it.
A voice sounded from behind her.
"Judging by your look, did things go well?"
A flicker of surprise crossed Noble Lady Wei's eyes, but she quickly masked her emotions, turned around, and raised her chin slightly to look at the person, revealing a smug smile, "I wouldn't say it's absolutely certain, but it's halfway done. I'm quite curious, though, how did you come to know about all this?"
She walked over to the table, poured tea with her hands, but her eyes were fixed intently on the person, a sharp gleam flashing within them.
