In the letter, Hua Qingqing said she had gained the Empress Dowager's trust and they had reached an agreement.
They would find a way to obtain the Holy Decree bestowing a fief on Prince Zhao.
As long as Prince Zhao was willing to lead his troops back to the capital as reinforcements, he would be granted West Gate County as his fief.
Hua Manman didn't know where West Gate County was. She planned to find a map and look it up after she left the secret room.
She read on.
Hua Qingqing mentioned one more thing in the letter.
She said the Saint had already decided to install the Seventh Prince as the Crown Prince. The edict of investiture was even written out, needing only the impression of the Jade Seal to take effect.
She would try to find the edict, but the Jade Seal had been taken by Prince Wu Zhang. He was a cautious man who didn't let anyone get near him easily, so it would be very difficult for her to obtain the Jade Seal.
