Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

No one understood Ye Mei better than Shen Miao. If Ye Mei wanted to get something from the Ye family that was enough to compensate her, gold, silver, and jewelry were far from enough. What she wanted was eternal power. In all the years that Ye Maocai had been in the Daliang Dynasty, apart from the reputation and wealth of the Ye family, the most valuable thing he had was probably some dirty secrets of the Daliang Dynasty’s imperial court. Perhaps there were secrets of the royal family, or perhaps of the court officials. When one had secrets, one had weaknesses. These secrets were probably used by Ye Maocai to control the other officials, or they were evidence that he had carefully collected. However, one thing was certain. The secrets were very important, so important that they could ruin the Daliang Dynasty.

And this was exactly what Ye Mei wanted.

Ye Mei could use this as a way for her to enter the upper-class in Ming Qi. However, what Shen Miao designed for her was even better. She was going to send Ye Mei to Fu Xiuyi.

If Fu Xiuyi got the things, he would definitely be very happy, and a beautiful woman like Ye Mei would definitely seize this opportunity to win Fu Xiuyi’s heart like in her previous life and then slowly but surely corrupt him.

However… What if all these things were fake?

The defense map, the secrets between the court officials, the discord between the royal family, and the defenseless cities that Ming Qi could take effortlessly. All of these seemed to be the key to Ming Qi’s victory over the Daliang Dynasty, but what if they were all fake?

Ming Qi would make wrong judgments. They would set up their troops in the wrong place and attack the wrong cities. In the end, they would fall apart.

A nest of ants was enough to destroy an indestructible dam.

Of course, Ye Mei did not know that she was holding the wrong thing.

Of course, Fu Xiuyi could also suspect if what Ye Mei offered him was real or fake.

However, it did not matter. Shen Miao trusted Consort Mei very much. She was a very powerful woman, so in the end, Fu Xiuyi would definitely be convinced by her.

Therefore, the outcome of this battle was destined.

It was not that Shen Miao did not want to kill Ye Mei, nor did she deliberately want to let her go.

However, she wanted to see the woman Fu Xiuyi loved the most in her previous life walk towards him step by step and throw herself into his arms, bringing along with her the demise of a dynasty.

This was more satisfying than just taking her life.

Most importantly, this matter was beneficial to Xie Jingxing. Because of this small move, the world changed drastically.

It was all for the best.

That night, as Cong Yang had expected, there was really heavy rain. It was not until the next morning that Cong Yang and the other two returned. They were all drenched. Ye Mei and Jin Xinming had already boarded the boat to Ming Qi. Just as Shen Miao had guessed, Ye Mei had a box that she hid very well.

The people of the Black Feather Army changed the things in the box to the things Shen Miao gave them. Tie Yi took out a stack of things from his pocket and handed it to Shen Miao. Shen Miao flipped through it. It was indeed something that Ye Maocai had collected over the years to threaten and keep other court officials in check. There were even some secrets of the royal family. She thought for a moment and decided to wait for Xie Jingxing to come back to deal with these things.

The people of the Black Feather Army were following Ye Mei to Ming Qi and keeping an eye on her..
