Standing in front of Princess Qian You's residence, Zhong Shan took a deep breath.
A large number of guards from the Ministry of Justice stood in front of the mansion, all of them carrying swords and sabers. Protecting him from the sides.
"Who is it?" A black-clothed official from the Ministry of Justice immediately shouted.
"His Holiness has issued a decree to specifically investigate Princess Qian You's case, with the sacred sword as the witness!" Zhong Shan said.
Searing Fire immediately took out his Sacred Sword.
The official frowned and then used his Divine Sense to probe the sacred sword.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~"
The man suddenly clutched his head and screamed.
"Sir ~ ~ ~ ~" A large number of subordinates immediately surrounded him. All of them pointed their swords at each other, wanting to capture the person who had plotted against their 'lord'.
"Stop!" The official shouted as he clutched his head.
"Huh?" His subordinates were puzzled.
"Long live Your Holiness, long live Your Holiness!" That official bowed respectfully.
The official bowed, and the others immediately came back to their senses and shouted, "Long live the Holy One!"
Zhong Shan ignored them and walked towards Princess Qian You's residence with Zhi Huo in tow.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Zhong Shan took a deep breath.
Princess Qian You's residence had become very desolate. There was not a single servant left. Cold and cheerless.
He extended his Divine Sense and found Ah Da and Ah Er waiting outside a palace in the distance.
"Princess, Sir is here. Princess …" Ah Da called out excitedly.
"Princess, it really is Sir!" Ah Er also shouted excitedly.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Footsteps rang out from within the palace as Princess Qian You sprinted towards the entrance. His eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement.
Zhong Shan quickly walked over with Scorching Fire.
"I knew Sir would come," A 'Da said excitedly as he clenched his fists.
Ah Er also looked at Zhong Shan excitedly.
Princess Qian You, on the other hand, didn't say anything. She merely smiled. A reassuring smile.
"Princess, I'm back!" Zhong Shan stared at Princess Qian You.
"I knew you would come!" Princess Qian You revealed a gratified smile.
Ah Da, Ah Er, and Zhi Huo were very tactful. They immediately left the hall. There was no need for them to stay here any longer.
Looking at Princess Qian You's haggard face, thin figure, and bleak smile, Zhong Shan's heart unconsciously touched. At this moment, Zhong Shan realized that Princess Qian You had already squeezed into his resolute heart. It was just that he had never paid attention to it before, but now, Zhong Shan could confirm this feeling.
There was already a real her in his heart.
Since he already understood his own heart, Zhong Shan no longer avoided it.
Zhong Shan gently touched Princess Qian You's face and said gently, "You've lost a lot of weight!"
Zhong Shan stretched out his hand, and Princess Qian You did not avoid it. In fact, she was even a little expectant, waiting for that fiery hand to touch her face. Her gratified smile had long since turned into an emotional smile. When Zhong Shan said that she had lost a lot of weight, Princess Qian You's eyes were brimming with tears.
"Pu ~ ~ ~ ~"
Princess Qian You hugged Zhong Shan and rushed into Zhong Shan's embrace, her tears flowing like water.
Zhong Shan felt the love in his heart. Princess Qian You also felt the love in her heart. Not today, but a few days ago.
Only after setbacks could one reflect on oneself. Only after sorrow could one realize true love!
The moment Yingzhen died and he was imprisoned, it was as if everyone in the Gu clan despised him. Those who used to fawn over him suddenly became cold and indifferent. Even the emperor was angry and ignored him. Even his own father seemed to have become much colder to him.
People were cold and indifferent. It was as if the entire world had left him, and no one would help him. It was as if he was standing alone in an empty mountain forest. It was terrifyingly quiet and incomparably lonely. An intense sadness and heartache filled his heart. At this time, the only thing he thought of was Zhong Shan. The Zhong Shan he had absolute trust in, the Zhong Shan who treated him better than the Gu clan. She really, really wanted Zhong Shan to immediately appear in front of her. She really wanted to throw herself into Zhong Shan's embrace and be hugged tightly by him. That way, she would no longer have to care about the outside world. At this time, Princess Qian You finally realized how much she loved Zhong Shan. It was a longing like a surging river.
Zhong Shan appeared. As expected, he hugged Princess Qian You tightly.
He did not say anything. He just hugged her tightly.
Princess Qian You also instantly relaxed. A satisfied smile appeared on her face. The strong woman of the past had long disappeared. Now, she was just a little woman in Zhong Shan's embrace, a little woman who was being protected. She did not think about anything else. No matter how strong the outside world was, she was not afraid. Because she had this safe haven, the warmest safe haven in the world.
Zhong Shan's heart was also incomparably warm. Looking at Princess Qian You in his arms, he hugged her with one hand and stroked her long hair with the other. Princess Qian You had actually fallen asleep in Zhong Shan's arms during this time.
She was an Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator, yet she had fallen asleep while crying?
Zhong Shan smiled tenderly. He carried Princess Qian You into the main hall and gently placed her on the jade bed, covering her with a silk blanket.
Looking at Princess Qian You, who was smiling in her sleep, Zhong Shan couldn't help but stroke her hair.
It was obvious that Princess Qian You had been under a lot of pressure and grievances these days. She had become much more haggard and anxious. She had been tense all this time. She had used up too much of her mental energy. Only when Zhong Shan appeared did she finally relax. She fell asleep in exhaustion.
Princess Qian You was simply too tired. She slept for an entire day.
When Princess Qian You woke up, she found that Zhong Shan had been sitting beside her the entire time, seemingly deep in thought. However, his hand was still holding hers, not letting go at all.
Princess Qian You blushed when she felt the warmth of Zhong Shan's hand. Perhaps her waking up had startled Zhong Shan awake.
"You're awake?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Mm!" Princess Qian You nodded shyly.
This was the first time Zhong Shan had seen Princess Qian You like this. Her usual calm and collected expression had long since disappeared.
"Alright, it's been a month. One day has passed. Let's talk about the case!" Zhong Shan took a deep breath.
"A month?" Princess Qian You asked.
"Yes. His Majesty has given me a month to thoroughly investigate your case!" Zhong Shan said.
"The case is so clear that no one in the court is willing to wade into these muddy waters. Even His Majesty, who has always doted on me, is furious. He even forbade anyone from mentioning it," Princess Qian You said.
"Haha, no. In my view, the one in the court who cares about you the most is His Majesty!" Zhong Shan took a deep breath.
"His Majesty?" Princess Qian You asked in confusion.
"Yes. This case is incomparably complicated, and the evidence is conclusive. Not just anyone can clear your name. If the case is thoroughly investigated and not cleared of your crimes, you will be in an even more disadvantageous position. His Majesty only did this to protect you. After I asked His Majesty, His Majesty agreed immediately and even lent me the Divine Sword to investigate," Zhong Shan said.
"Then what did you use to shut the mouths of the officials?" Princess Qian You asked.
"A floating cloud." Zhong Shan smiled.
"What floating cloud?" Princess Qian You asked.
"All of my military merits!" Zhong Shan said.
Princess Qian You did not say any words of gratitude, nor did she make any vows. She only said, "Yes." She looked at Zhong Shan with a hint of determination in her eyes. It was as if she had made a decision in her heart. There was a look of infatuation in her eyes.
"Speak. What happened? I want the most detailed account of the case. What happened at that time. Don't leave out a single detail!" Zhong Shan said.
"That day …"
A month before Zhong Shan returned to the court.
Princess Yingning's residence. In order to celebrate, Yingning held a banquet in a courtyard and invited a large number of court officials that she knew. Among them were Princess Qian You, Heaven's Equal, and Ma Zhuiri.
"Congratulations, Princess. Tian Lao has promised to take you as his disciple." Ma Zhuiri raised his cup and smiled.
"Uncle, don't make fun of me. I haven't officially taken you in yet!" Yingning said with a smile. She finished her cup of wine.
"Soon. Tian Lao has always been a man of his word. Once you become his disciple, the Emperor will definitely promote you to a princess. In the future, we will call you Princess Yingning." Ma Zhuiri smiled.
"Princess Qian You, Tian Lao chose between you and Yingning. In the end, Yingning was chosen. You won't be jealous, right?" Heaven's Equal suddenly looked at Princess Qian You.
Everyone fell silent at Heaven's Equal's bold question.
"Of course not. I should congratulate Yingning. Congratulations! "Princess Qian You said magnanimously. She raised her cup to Yingning.
"Thank you, Sister Qian You!" Yingning happily drank another cup of wine.
The banquet was in full swing. Everyone chatted with each other. Halfway through the banquet, Yingning suddenly grabbed Princess Qian You's hand.
"Sister Qian You, follow me." Yingning said.
Qian You did not mind. She put down her cup and followed Yingning out of the banquet. They turned left and right in Yingning's residence and soon arrived at a small courtyard in the distance. There was not a single person around the small courtyard.
"Why did you pull me here?" Princess Qian You asked curiously.
"I heard that you have the 'Xun Cauldron Body'? Is that true? "Yingning asked with wide eyes.
"Who did you hear that from? How is that possible?" Princess Qian You frowned and immediately asked with a smile.
"Someone told me. Sister Qian You, don't ask. I heard that the Nine Cauldron Body is amazing. Can you show me?" Yingning said expectantly.
"Show? How? "Princess Qian You raised an eyebrow.
"Use this." Yingning immediately said. She took out a bag from a corner of the small courtyard and took out an emerald green longbow with many totems carved on it.
"Divine Wind Bow?" Princess Qian You exclaimed.
