Everyone in the capital knew that the regent had married a fat country girl.
No one knew that what was hidden in the fat girl's sleeve was not a pastry, but a dagger that had been sharpened for three years.
Three years ago, on the night of Daye's fall, the legitimate princess Shen Qingxian was rescued from the dead by the enemy general Lu Hanyuan. Three years later, she was carried into the Regent's Palace in a green cloth sedan chair under the identity of Chunya, the adopted daughter of a merchant, and became a joke throughout the capital.
She thought she was in the dark, pretending to be a fool every day, drinking green tea, growing vegetables and raising snakes to play the role of a village girl, and sharpening her knife in front of the moon at night.
He read the secret reports from the secret guards every night, and after approving them, he asked: "How long has she been working hard today?"
She thought he didn't know anything.
He knew everything, he was just waiting.

During a later confrontation, she held a knife to his throat.
He looked down into her eyes: "Who do you think has been protecting you these three years?"
Her knife was very steady and her hand didn't shake.
But the tears fell.
