Seeing how 'loyal' Zhong Shan was, Princess Qian You sighed and felt touched.
Treat people with sincerity, and people treat people with sincerity. Mister was right, even if it was him.
Looking at Zhong Shan, Princess Qian You said, "Mister, don't mind Gu Lin's matter."
"I didn't," Zhong Shan said.
"Haha, but Gu Lin hasn't been looking at Mister well recently. I'm worried that he'll do something extreme." Princess Qian You shook her head and sighed.
"Huh?" Zhong Shan was puzzled.
"Mister, you must be wondering why I indulge Gu Lin so much." Princess Qian You smiled bitterly.
"I don't know." Zhong Shan shook his head.
"Actually, the Gu Lin you see is not the real Gu Lin," Princess Qian You said.
"Not the real Gu Lin?" Zhong Shan's heart was filled with puzzlement. How could this be fake?
"No, the person is still him, but his intelligence is different," Princess Qian You said.
"Oh?" Zhong Shan was surprised.
"The Zhengyi King is my father, the son of the Emperor, but not my biological father. My mother is the granddaughter of the Emperor's grandson. Later, she married a general under the Zhengyi King, who is my biological father. However, in an accident, my parents sacrificed themselves to save the Zhengyi King. The Zhengyi King pitied me and took me in as his adopted daughter. I became Princess Qian You, "Princess Qian You said.
"Oh?" Zhong Shan listened carefully.
"The Great Xuan King is the grandson of the Emperor's grandson. Later, because he was extremely outstanding, he was promoted to the Crown Prince and later became the Great Xuan King. In this era where the difference in lifespan is huge, seniority is not as important as status. The Great Xuan King's status is equal to that of the Zhengyi King. However, the four Crown Princes are all ambitious and ruthless people of their generation. They don't have a tacit understanding with each other, and there is a relationship of mutual restraint, "Princess Qian You said.
"Yes." Zhong Shan nodded in confusion. He didn't know why Princess Qian You was saying this.
"Crown Prince Gu Lin is one of the nine sons of the Great Xuan King. The Gu Lin of the past is not what you see now. The Gu Lin of the past is so intelligent that even Qian You is inferior," Princess Qian You said.
"Oh?" Zhong Shan was surprised.
"The Grand Xuan King and the Zhengyi King could be said to be two political enemies. However, because the sixteen year old Gu Lin took a fancy to me, he used his special status to make the two crown princes set up a marriage contract for us. Do you think it would be easy to set up an engagement under such hostile circumstances? "Princess Qian You asked with a smile.
"Sixteen years old? Marriage contract? "Zhong Shan asked in surprise. In other words, Gu Lin was extremely intelligent back then.
"Yes. It's just that Gu Lin suffered a disaster later on. Otherwise, Qian You would have already become his princess consort," Princess Qian You said.
"Disaster? What disaster? "Zhong Shan asked in surprise.
"An ultimate emperor realm expert's physical body was destroyed, and he used his Nascent Divinity to forcefully possess Gu Lin. That expert's Nascent Divinity entered Gu Lin's body and fought with Gu Lin's consciousness in his Niwan Palace. Most of Gu Lin's consciousness entered his Niwan Palace to fight, leaving only a small portion outside. The Niwan Palace is the place of the God. No one dares to forcefully enter and investigate. We can only wait for Gu Lin's will to emerge victorious, "Princess Qian You said in a low voice.
"Most of his consciousness is in his Niwan Palace, and he's still fighting with that expert? Only a small portion of his consciousness is in charge of the external body? "Zhong Shan asked in shock.
"That's right. Even if it's just a small portion of his consciousness, it's enough to allow Gu Lin to do nothing like an ordinary person. He's neither a fool nor an idiot, waiting for the main consciousness of his Niwan Palace to emerge victorious," Princess Qian You said with certainty.
"Emerge victorious? What if he can't emerge victorious? "Zhong Shan asked with a frown.
"If he can't emerge victorious, his body will be taken over by that expert. If he can emerge victorious, not only will he regain his former intelligence, his consciousness will also be nourished by that expert's Nascent Divinity, possibly even stronger than before. Therefore, although Gu Lin is doing nothing right now, there are still many people in the Daluo Celestial Empire who have high hopes for him, including His Majesty and his father, the Grand Xuan King, "Princess Qian You said.
At this moment, Zhong Shan was frowning. It turned out that Gu Lin wasn't an idiot, but an extremely fine piece of jade whose future was unknown.
"What about Princess's marriage?" Zhong Shan asked again.
"Haha, Gu Lin's fiancée. At that time, everyone in the Daluo Celestial Empire knew about it. However, Qian You only has feelings for Gu Lin as a brother. There is a rule in the Daluo Celestial Empire that as long as it's the Crown Prince and Princess, they can choose their Daoist companion. No one can interfere, not even their biological father. Therefore, I annulled the engagement, "Princess Qian You said with a bitter smile.
"Princess must have felt greatly wronged all these years." Zhong Shan nodded.
Indeed, Princess Qian You didn't have any feelings for Gu Lin. However, it just so happened that Gu Lin had encountered such a calamity. Everyone must have looked at Princess Qian You with a strange gaze. Annulling the engagement? She abandoned Gu Lin after seeing that he was no longer intelligent?
"Haha, only Mister understands Qian You," Princess Qian You said with a bitter smile.
"Princess, you don't have to care about what others think," Zhong Shan said.
"Yes, why would I care about what others think? I only care about my own judgment. If Gu Lin had not encountered such a calamity, Qian You could have calmly annulled the engagement. However, I still feel guilty towards Gu Lin now. Moreover, Gu Lin had helped me in the past. Therefore, I will try my best to tolerate any of Gu Lin's actions, "Princess Qian You said.
"Yes." Zhong Shan nodded with a frown. He didn't know why Princess Qian You had said so much.
Looking at Zhong Shan, Princess Qian You said, "Qian You did not expect Gu Lin to be hostile towards Mister. This makes it very difficult for me. It is not easy to get Mister, but it is too difficult to abandon Gu Lin. Qian You is in a difficult position. Coincidentally, there is something I would like to ask Mister to do."
"Oh?" Zhong Shan was puzzled.
"In seven months, we will be leaving Sky City. I would like to ask Mister to take advantage of this time to travel around Sky City and find a safe escape route for us. When Mister returns, Gu Lin's anger should have subsided. At that time, Qian You will no longer be in a difficult position, "said Princess Qian You.
Looking at Princess Qian You, Zhong Shan sighed inwardly. Princess Qian You was truly intelligent. If he went to scout the way, it would be killing four birds with one stone for her.
First of all, scouting the way himself would definitely be more careful than the arrangements of the officials. He would also be able to determine the route more appropriately.
Second, he would be able to prevent Gu Lin from harming him.
Third, he would be able to wear away Gu Lin's jealousy and use time to erase it.
Finally, the most important thing was to prevent Yi Yan from coming into contact with him and avoid Yi Yan trying to rope him in. After all, Yi Yan was too powerful. In Sky City, he would definitely have a great advantage.
"Yes." Zhong Shan nodded.
"Ah Da will accompany you and protect Mister." Princess Qian You smiled.
"Yes." Zhong Shan nodded.
In a side hall of the imperial palace.
Emperor Nalan Piaoxue sat at the head of the table. King Julu sat to one side, and Yi Yan sat to the other.
"Yi Yan, why did you do that?" Nalan Piaoxue glared at Yi Yan.
King Julu sneered. Yi Yan actually dared to disobey the emperor's orders and secretly sent troops to kill Princess Qian You and her people. Are you the master of the Great Universe, or is the emperor the master of the Great Universe?
Yi Yan was expressionless as he said to Nalan Piaoxue, "I know my mistake!"
"You still don't know how to repent?" Emperor Nalan said angrily.
"Although I disobeyed the emperor's orders, I think I did well. I didn't let down the previous emperor and the people of the Great Universe," Yi Yan said indifferently.
"The most important thing is that Princess Qian You's people are not only fine, but they also took their anger out on the Great Light Imperial Dynasty," King Julu said sarcastically. Clearly, he was very angry about the death of a few death warriors.
"If you didn't stop me, His Majesty would have listened to me and killed them in Sky City. How could I not succeed?" Yi Yan looked at King Julu angrily.
"Yi Yan!" Emperor Nalan yelled angrily.
Yi Yan turned to look at Emperor Nalan. Seeing the emperor's angry gaze, Yi Yan felt a burst of anger.
"Cough ~ ~ ~ Cough ~ ~ ~ Cough ~ ~ ~ Cough ~ ~ ~"
In his anger, Yi Yan's body was stimulated again. He quickly coughed. This time, it was very difficult. He used a handkerchief to cover his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing the blood-stained handkerchief, Nalan Piaoxue sighed. His anger instantly faded. On the other hand, King Julu sneered.
"Alright, Prince Hanjue has left. Yi Yan, you don't have any new plans, right?" Emperor Nalan sighed.
"Yes," Yi Yan nodded.
"Yes, my seclusion is becoming more and more important. In the future, the three of us will meet once every five days," Nalan Piaoxiang said.
"Yes," the two immediately replied.
Yi Yan returned to the Viceroy's residence. The worry on his face didn't disappear.
"Viceroy," Tie Xue called from afar.
"Let's talk inside," Yi Yan said indifferently.
"Yes," Tie Xue immediately replied. He quickly supported Yi Yan and walked towards the Viceroy's residence.
When they reached the pavilion at the center of the pond, Tie Xue said, "Viceroy, you wanted me to monitor Zhong Shan. This morning, Zhong Shan took Ah Da and left the city."
"What? Left the city? "Yi Yan frowned.
"Yes, I've already sent people to follow them," Tie Xue said.
"This Princess Qian You is indeed suspicious," Yi Yan said with a frown. A trace of worry flashed through his eyes.
"Viceroy, what are you suspicious of?" Tie Xue asked.
"Don't worry about it. Send people to monitor Zhong Shan and Ah Da. See where they're going and what route they're taking," Yi Yan said after some thought.
"Yes," Tie Xue immediately replied.
"Also, record where they're staying and who they're talking to. Report to me at any time," Yi Yan immediately said.
"Yes," Tie Xue replied.
