"I'm very curious. Even if the emperor suspects my mother, he would at most send out spies to investigate. Why would he order my mother to hang herself without any conclusive evidence?"
The Mei's expression was still cold, without any emotional fluctuations, as if the Imperial Concubine Yuan who died in vain was not her mother, but a stranger.
"It's very simple. Suspicions will continue to accumulate over time. The Emperor has always been suspicious. Once he has suspicions, he will naturally send someone to investigate. Unfortunately, what he doesn't know is that the person he thinks is reliable is actually someone from my maiden family who has already changed their name and entered the palace. Naturally, whatever I say, he will report to the Emperor."
Xian Fei became more and more proud. Perhaps this secret had been suppressed in her heart for too long. At this moment, she had a desire to show off, or perhaps she hoped to see the Mei's unchanging iceberg face be moved. She told the secret without concealment.
In fact, at this point, she knew very well that this time, even her maternal family would be destroyed. The chess piece buried in the palace would also lose its effect. Even if she said it out loud, it wouldn't matter.
Besides, she also hoped that after her death, she could use this point to provoke the relationship between the Mei and the emperor. After all, the spy was hidden too deeply and was deeply trusted by the emperor. If the Mei said that he was a traitor, it would definitely make the emperor unhappy.
In short, she had fallen this time, but even if she died, she did not want to see the Mei and the emperor be filial and live a life without suspicion.
Unfortunately, she did not understand the thoughts of the Mei at all. The Mei did not care about the identity of a princess of the Ancient Heaven Dynasty.
What's more, although the Wanlong Emperor was Mei Niang's biological father in this life, from the moment he ordered her mother to die, there was only hatred and disgust in the heart of this nominal father. There was no good impression, and there was no intention of returning to the family.
Therefore, Xian Fei's scheme was destined to be a waste of effort. It had no effect on the Mei at all.
"Now that I've figured out the ins and outs of the whole matter, you heard it all."
Xian Fei was looking at the Mei proudly, wanting to see her surprised expression. Unexpectedly, the Mei's expression did not change at all. Instead, she said something inexplicable, causing her heart to sink.
When he turned his head to look, his expression immediately changed. He cried out involuntarily, "Eunuch Xia."
A skinny and shriveled old man with a white face and no beard walked out from the dark corner like a ghost. He didn't even look at Xian Fei who looked like she had seen a ghost. Instead, he respectfully bowed to Mei: "Old slave Xia Zongyuan greets Princess Royal Highness."
"I'm not a princess, and you don't need to worship me. I'm just trying to clear my mother's name and prove her innocence."
Mei waved her hand without turning her head. Her entire body exuded a sense of distance that pushed people thousands of miles away.
Eunuch Xia sighed softly as a bitter look appeared on his old face. However, he quickly declared, "I will definitely report everything that I have seen and heard today to Your Majesty."
After he finished speaking, he bowed his head and stood respectfully. His respectful appearance was like that of an obedient old servant. How could he have the appearance of the number one expert of the Heaven Ancient Imperial Court.
In fact, he knew very well that he was not the opponent of the Princess Royal Highness in front of him. In vain, he thought that he had hidden himself and was not discovered. It turned out that the other party had long known that he had deliberately lured him here and used his mouth to return justice to Imperial Concubine Yuan.
As for whether or not the Princess Royal Highness was willing to acknowledge her ancestors, that was the family affairs of His Majesty. He would not interfere, nor did he have the strength to interfere.
However, in his heart, he still hoped that this unfathomable Princess would be able to acknowledge her ancestors. If she was here, who would dare to invade the Heaven Ancient Imperial Court?
One must know that the entire Soaring Wind Continent was vast and boundless. One might not even be able to travel all over the place in one's lifetime.
When he was young, he had also gone out to travel.
After experiencing it, his knowledge could be said to be extensive. Unlike those local martial artists who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, he knew that on this continent, the Heaven Ancient Imperial Court was just a small kingdom in a corner of the land. The false name of the imperial court was already overstepping.
In the center of the continent, kingdoms whose overall strength surpassed the Heaven Ancient Imperial Court could be found everywhere. And those who were qualified to be called imperial courts were true powerful countries with unlimited territory and experts as common as clouds. The Heaven Ancient Imperial Court was just a joke.
What's more, above these imperial courts, there were ten great empires. These ten great empires were the well-deserved overlord level countries of the entire Soaring Wind Continent.
Although Eunuch Xia was respected by tens of thousands of people in the Heaven Ancient Imperial Court and was revered as the number one expert, he was very clear in his heart that if it was not for the Heaven Ancient Imperial Court's remote location, it would not have attracted the covetous hearts of those real imperial courts or even empires. He was afraid that as long as he casually sent a few experts, he would be able to easily destroy the entire Heaven Ancient Imperial Court.
However, in recent years, as the Heaven Ancient Imperial Court's national strength became increasingly prosperous, it caused the surrounding countries to be deeply afraid. No one wanted to see a powerful and unrivaled country become their neighbor.
Therefore, although there was no large-scale war at present, small-scale conflicts in local border areas were common.
Once these countries made up their minds to join hands and jointly curb the speed of development of the Heaven Ancient Imperial Court, it was believed that war would soon break out.
The war in the Soaring Wind Continent was completely different from that on Earth. The number of top experts was the key factor in determining victory or defeat.
There were not many top experts in those countries, but if they joined hands, he was definitely not their opponent. Unless he could break through again, he would be able to deter those countries with ulterior motives. This was also the reason why he had been living in seclusion all these years, keeping a low profile and rarely showing his face. It was to be able to break through as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, to this day, he still did not feel any signs of a breakthrough, which made him feel a lot of pressure. He was looking forward to the princess, who had been wandering outside, returning to the imperial family to share some of the pressure for him.
"No, impossible, aren't you supposed to be in the imperial palace protecting the emperor? Why are you here? This is fake, it must be fake … "
How could Xian Fei have thought that the number one expert of the Heaven Ancient Imperial Court was actually hiding here, and was so respectful to the Mei. This violent impact caused her spirit to completely collapse, and she shouted in disbelief.
"Noisy, shut up."
Eunuch Xia frowned, looked at Xian Fei with disgust, and shouted.
He was a man of impotence, and in addition to the kindness of the previous emperor, he kept his promise and protected the Heaven Ancient Imperial Court for the rest of his life.
One must know that with his status, even the current emperor would have to stand up and greet him with extreme respect. A mere Imperial Concubine, he really did not put her in his eyes.
Xian Fei's shout suddenly stopped. Her body curled up and trembled, and her desperate eyes were full of fear.
As an Imperial Concubine, how could she not know who the legendary Eunuch Xia was? That kind of awe from the depths of her soul had already penetrated into her bones. Seeing him angry, how could she dare to make a sound.
But what she could not understand was, why would such a legendary figure be so respectful to the Mei, and even call himself an old servant. His attitude was so low.
No matter how deep her schemes were, after all, she was just an ordinary person. How could she understand the principle of the strong being respected in the world of martial artists?
Although the Mei's performance was very mysterious, she had always thought of her as a woman who was avenging her mother and knew some martial arts. She had never thought that this Princess was a super expert that even Eunuch Xia was inferior to.
The Mei expressionlessly glanced at Eunuch Xia, "I'll leave her to you to deal with. I hope your disposal will satisfy me."
"Your Highness, rest assured, this old servant will definitely take care of this matter to your satisfaction."
Eunuch Xia panicked.
He hurriedly bowed and said.
Listening to the meaning of the Princess's words, it seemed that she did not say anything definite. Maybe there was still room for negotiation.
But after bowing and waiting for a long time, he did not get any response. He quietly raised his head, only to discover that the Mei had already floated away.
This made him feel extremely shocked. After all, he was an expert at the peak of the Saint Martial Arts Realm. He was the most sensitive to the laws of heaven and earth, but the Princess was able to quietly leave under his eyes without him noticing.
This strength once again raised a level in his heart. Could it be that she was not a pericelestial, but a Divine Transformation Realm expert?
The blood feud was finally avenged, but the Mei did not feel the joy of revenge. Instead, she looked into the distance, her eyes filled with deep longing. She softly murmured, "Have you safely returned home?"
Ding Ning had not returned home. To be exact, he did not want to return home for the time being.
This was because he discovered that he had transmigrated for a few days, but only less than half a day had passed on Earth. This made his tense heart relax.
Although he was eager to return home, when he realized that the place he was at was coincidentally Diba's hometown, he decided not to rush back. He would visit Diba first.
He had to admit that he felt guilty towards Diba. How could there be a guy who disappeared without saying a word right after they had just established a relationship?
During this period of time, Diba's phone was almost broken from calling him, but he was never in the service area. This goddess must be full of resentment towards him at this moment.
Ding Ning turned on his phone and looked at the incessant notifications of missed calls and text messages. A trace of helplessness appeared on his face.
It was not that he did not want to pick up the phone, but he really could not. He could not pick up the phone in the ancient times, could he? That would be too frightening.
Seeing that Diba had at least two hundred missed calls, Ding Ning touched his nose. When he was about to call back, the phone suddenly rang.
Hey, speak of the devil. Who else could it be other than Diba?
Ding Ning's brain worked quickly. After thinking of an excuse, he pressed the answer button and said with a smile, "Hello …"
Then …
There was a beep and there was no sound. Could it be that the signal was bad? Ding Ning looked at the phone screen in surprise, only to find that the phone had run out of power and automatically shut down.
At this moment, Ding Ning even wanted to die. What the hell was this?
It was okay when Diba could not get through to his phone, but now that she got through, she thought that he had hung up. When she called again, she found that his phone was turned off.
This made him unable to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. But now he had no other way. He could only rush to the city and find a public phone to explain to her.
"What do you mean? She disappeared a few days ago. Now I finally got through to her, but she hung up. When I called again, her phone was turned off. If you don't want to talk to me, just say it. I, Diba, am not a pestering person. "
In a cafe in the city, Diba, who had changed her face, listened to the sound of the phone being turned off. She angrily threw the phone on the table and muttered with a frosty face.
"What's wrong? Who made my big star angry again? "
A sweet voice rang in her ear like a joke.
"No, no, you're finally here. You're so slow."
Diba turned her head and saw that her best friend finally came late. She put a smile on her face again and complained.
"Hey, you don't say. Your mask is really amazing. If you hadn't told me in advance, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you."
Her best friend looked up and down Diba's face and said in amazement.
