Chapter 120 Yun'er

At the Palace gate of the Can Kingdom, the gatekeeper watched amazed as a carriage sped past to the Palace because only those with a token from the Emperor himself could enter the Palace without dismounting. The new Emperor had taken the throne only one day ago, yet the token was given to someone. It seemed that the person in the carriage should not be underestimated.

With the carriage hurriedly along, a particularly beautiful face could be seen occasionally when the wind flipped the curtain.

As the carriage passed palaces, it drew the attention of maids, eunuchs, and even ministers. The maids and eunuchs were surprised at the arrogance of the carriage owner, while some ministers who knew the truth stood respectfully to the side with their heads bowed, and did not dare to look directly at it. It was not until the carriage roared past them that the ministers dared to look up, their eyes full of awe and horror.

The Qifeng Palace was the palace of the Can Kingdom's Empress, and thus it was the most magnificent palace of the imperial palace. Everything in the Palace was the focus of the concubines' struggle and admiration. Every day many women would greedily stare at the Palace.

Huo Yang's Empress died early, and the position had been vacant ever since. Now Huo Liuyun was the Emperor, and there was still no Empress. As a result, the women of the Eastern Palace had been locked in a fierce struggle for this position within the first day.

The carriage came to a stop in front of the Qifeng Palace. The driver, Yun Qi, jumped down from the carriage first. Yun Qin pulled the curtain back and Canglan gingerly stepped down taking her time.

She looked up at the Qifeng Palace which so many women fought for, and grumbled in discontent.

"What a shabby Palace!"

"Bear with it, Mistress. When the Can Kingdom settles down, we will leave."

Canglan nodded in agreement, "Let's go in."

Just as they were about to enter the Palace, a shrill pompous sound could be heard.

"How dare you enter the Qifeng Palace without permission! You wild woman!" Lady Zi was leading a few maids headed at them with great pomp, while Lady Ling, who used to hold her head high, stood among the maids with her head hung low as if she were afraid of something. Her outfit looked clean, but it was not as gorgeous as her old ones.

The Grand Preceptor was named a traitor and fell. Wu Yunlin

"Not now." Canglan shook her head.

Instantly, Lady Zi looked relieved and she smiled.

Wu Yunling involuntarily looked up at Canglan again.

Canglan's face creased into a merciless smile. "I am Yun Canglan!" She declared.

Wu Yunling fell to the ground with a thud, her eyes full of the fear she felt twisting in her gut.

There was contempt in Canglan's eyes as she looked down at Wu Yunling.

Lady Zi was taken aback, "Who...who the hell are you?" she asked, somewhat perplexed. It was well known that Yun Canglan had died three years ago. So, clearly she was an impostor. However, the fact that she posed as a dead woman made Lady Zi feel a little creepy.

Canglan blinked innocently and asked, "I told you I'm Yun Canglan. Didn't you say you were the granddaughter of my father's cousin's second uncle? Didn't you say that you were my dear sister, and that you grew up with me? Did you forget what you just said?"

Lady Zi grew more afraid and trembled all over.

"Are you...you...a person or a ghost?" She stuttered.

"You are not Yun Canglan!" Wu Yunling suddenly stood up and pointed at Canglan, with determination on her frightened face.

'She isn't Yun Canglan, definitely not. I've been fighting Yun Canglan since we were children, and I know everything about her. Yun Canglan was an idiot and an unworthy person, not this gorgeous woman.' Wu Yunling said to herself in her heart.

"Yun'er!" Canglan was watching Wu Yunling's reaction with great interest, when a voice full of surprise interrupted the three women's war.

And Wu Yunling was completely petrified.
