The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace..."

As soon as Emperor Qianyao finished speaking, Princess Zhuxing kowtowed to express her gratitude.

Wei Yunfan did not say anything, nor was he at all flustered. With a respectful look on his face, he also kowtowed.

Wei Chen was distraught and looked at Princess Zhuxing in disbelief.

I don’t know why my wife is so determined.

Even if she was trying to save her own life.

Until Eunuch Gao called out: "Lord Wei..."

It took Wei Chen a while to react before he understood, Lord Wei?

It turns out that I am no longer a Duke, but an Earl!

Wei Chen looked ashen, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

After everyone stepped out of Chengqian Hall, Princess Zhuxing supported Wei Chen, who seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant.

After seeing Qian Wushang, he immediately let go of Wei Chen and walked towards Qian Wushang.

"Shang'er..." Princess Zhuxing shouted.

Qian Wushang stopped and looked at Princess Zhuxing.

After all, she was her aunt. When she was a child, she left the palace and built her own house.

My aunt also showed some concern occasionally, although, thinking back, there might have been some other reasons.

"Aunt..." Qian Wushang called out lightly.

Princess Zhuxing seemed a little excited and a little ashamed, and hesitated for a moment.

Said: "Shang'er, is Princess Mingnuo okay?"

Qian Wushang was stunned, as if he had not expected that the person Princess Zhuxing was asking about was Leng Xinmo.

"The princess was first seriously injured and then was overly frightened," Qian Wushang thought of the cunning and cold-blooded woman in the princess's mansion.

A hint of joy arose in my heart.

Qian Wushang said it simply, but Princess Zhuxing seemed even more ashamed.

He sighed softly and said, "Princess Mingnuo was seriously injured. I wonder if she has any relatives visiting her?"

Facing the doubtful gazes of the thousands of Wushang, Princess Zhuxing explained:

"Alas, Shang'er, you have never been married and have never been a father, so I guess you can't understand the feelings of being a parent.

I am also a mother. I would be heartbroken if I thought about Linlang getting hurt.

In any case, it's our fault that the princess was frightened.

So, I thought that if Princess Mingnuo’s parents, or some elders were in Fengyao City.

We should visit them and apologize in person.”

Qian Wushang nodded and understood what Princess Zhuxing meant.

only…

"Aunt, Princess Mingnuo's parents are long gone, and there are no elders in Fengyao City."

I saw a flash of disappointment on Princess Zhuxing's face.

Qian Wushang continued: "But..."

"But what?" Princess Zhuxing asked anxiously.

He seemed to realize that he was a little too excited.

Princess Zhuxing explained, “In two days, I will go to the Fahua Temple to practice.

I think I will never have another chance in this lifetime to apologize to Princess Mingnuo's family."

Qian Wushang expressed his understanding, and then said: "Nothing, I just want to say.

I have only known Princess Mingnuo for a few months, so I am not very clear about her situation.

It was the same thing back then. When I was passing by Baiyun Town, I was injured and was rescued by Princess Mingnuo by chance.

In order to repay the princess for saving my life, I took her back to Fengyao City at her request."

"In response to the princess's request for rescue?"

Princess Bamboo Star asked.

Qian Wushang said: "Yes, Princess Mingnuo said that she has been wandering in the martial arts world since she was a child.

Although I have lived in Baiyun Town for several years, I actually don’t even know where my ancestral home is.

Not to mention Qianyao's imperial city, so she wanted to come and take a look."

"Baiyun Town..." Princess Zhuxing murmured in a low voice.

"Aunt, what did you say?"

Qian Wushang asked doubtfully.

Princess Zhuxing suddenly realized: "No, nothing...

In that case, Shang'er, please apologize to Princess Mingnuo on my behalf.

Auntie really hopes to be forgiven by Princess Mingnuo."

Qian Wushang nodded and agreed.

"Princess, Princess, have you heard?" Yue'er hurried to the backyard.

Looking at Leng Xinmo lying on the recliner with his eyes closed, Ah Xiu was making tea beside him.

The tranquility and peace in the backyard was abruptly broken by Yue'er's loud voice.

Ah Xiu's hand couldn't help but tremble as she poured tea, and some tea spilled out of the cup.

Ah Xiu sighed softly, poured another cup and handed it to Leng Xinmo.

Leng Xinmo looked at Yue'er who was running towards him hurriedly, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

A smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

The smile was somewhat eerie, and it frightened Yue'er so much that she stopped where she was, lowering her head like a quail.

"Ha ha…"

In the distance, Di'er, who was left to take care of Tian'er, stood at the door. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing.

Tian Er, who was beaten half to death by the men in black, was now punished with twenty more sticks.

Although Tianyi had already given Leng Xinmo a lot of lip service with his consent.

But in the end, it was still twenty solid blows.

According to Huang Er, you can't lie down unless you lie down for ten days or half a month.

Seeing that Leng Xinmo had no intention of asking any questions, Ah Xiu smiled and looked at Yue'er, who was hunching her shoulders and constantly glancing at her with her big eyes.

He asked, "Yue'er, what did you hear?"

Finally hearing Ah Xiu's voice, Yue Er immediately looked up at Ah Xiu who had a playful expression on her face, and called out shyly, "Sister Ah Xiu..."

He looked at Leng Xinmo again and saw that there was no displeasure on his face, so he knew that the princess was not angry.

Yue Er happily shared, "Princess, His Majesty has issued an edict to strip Duke Jingguo of his title of Duke and demote him to Earl.

Princess Liuyun’s title of princess, oh no, Wei Linlang’s title of princess was also revoked.

From now on, she will never be rude to you again, relying on her status as a princess and her father being a duke.

On the other hand, she is no longer a princess, so when she sees you, she still has to bow to you."

Yue'er said happily.

Ah Xiu was also a little surprised and looked at Leng Xinmo in astonishment.

Leng Xinmo was not as happy as Yue'er imagined.

Instead, he calmly asked, "Where's Princess Zhuxing?"

"Ah?" Yue'er didn't expect that the princess would be so indifferent to the news that Wei Linlang had lost her identity as a princess.

If I had known this, this would have been the thing that made her happiest when she heard the news.

Thinking of the princess asking Princess Zhuxing, Yue'er replied, "Oh, oh, Princess Zhuxing asked to become a nun?"

"What? You want to become a monk?"

Ah Xiu blurted out in surprise.

Leng Xinmo was also a little confused, looking at Yue'er and listening to her continue: "Yes, I heard that it was Princess Zhuxing who requested it herself.

I went to the Fahua Temple to practice Buddhism with my hair uncut, chanting sutras and reciting the Buddha's name, and I will never leave the temple in my life.

It was said that he wanted to pay for the sins of Duke Weiguo... Lord Wei, and Wei Linlang.

I pray for you, Princess, for His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and for the people of Qianyao!

Alas, Princess Zhuxing is so good that she has a husband like Lord Wei and a daughter like Wei Linlang.

What a pity…”

Fahua Temple?

The hot steam from the tea rose slowly, covering up the coldness in Leng Xinmo's eyes.

Study Room of Shengwang Mansion

Qian Wushang stood in front of the desk, quietly painting a picture.

In the dark night, a figure appeared outside the window.

"Your Majesty, Princess Zhuxing has sent people to Baiyun Town."

Qian Wushang's painting hand paused slightly, but he did not look up and continued with the unfinished painting on the desk.
