Chapter 868: Chapter 868: Phoenix Dominates the Rivers and Mountains (10)

It wasn’t until dawn that someone helped Ning Yao back.

Ning Yao looked quite miserable, as if he’d been beaten, with a bruised and swollen face, and his clothes were scratched by branches, in complete disarray.

Miserable as he may be, there’s no danger to his life.

Ning Yao was sent back to the palace amidst chaos, accompanied by the Imperial Physician for treatment.

”Her Royal Highness the Princess is fine; it’s just superficial wounds and a bit of fright.”

The Seventh Princess coldly said: ”How did the Third Imperial Sister end up like this?”

”Your Highness, when we found the Third Imperial Sister, she was on a slope... Could the Third Imperial Sister have fallen by herself?”

Someone cautiously replied.

The slope was steep; if no one had noticed the traces above and gone down to check, it might have gone undiscovered even now.

”You’re saying this was an accident?” The Seventh Princess angrily said, ”How could there be such a coincidental accident? This matter is definitely man-made!”

How could Ning Yao be so careless?

The Seventh Princess steadfastly refused to believe it.

The Fifth Princess softly said, ”Seventh Imperial Sister, this might truly be an accident...”

The Seventh Princess glared at her, and the Fifth Princess did not dare speak further.

The Seventh Princess angrily ordered, ”Investigate thoroughly for me!”

The Seventh Princess was furious, and no one dared to argue.

They began to investigate where everyone was when Ning Yao had the accident and who could verify it.

Chuzheng stayed in her room, listening to Mu Mian’s broadcast.

The Seventh Princess was fiercely loyal to Ning Yao.

Chuzheng casually asked, ”Does she have a good relationship with Ning Yao?”

Mu Mian thought about it confusedly, ”Not really... But the Third Imperial Sister does speak up among the Princes and Princesses.”

The original was favored, spoiled, and arrogant.

Everyone respected and feared her, but the relationships weren’t close.

So, Ning Yao, who was nice to everyone, became the good person, drawing these Princes and Princesses over.

”Ning Yao indeed has some tactics.”

”Your Highness, what do you mean?” Mu Mian was puzzled.

The Third Imperial Sister was indeed nice to everyone, didn’t Her Highness like the Third Imperial Sister before, too?

But ever since Her Highness came back to life, she seemed no longer fond of the Third Imperial Sister...

”It’s nothing.”

Chuzheng’s fingertip rubbed against the edge of the teacup.

Ning Yao was easy-going, a stark contrast to the original’s arrogance.

Every time the original made them suffer, Ning Yao was behind, playing the good guy, comforting and giving things, naturally winning affection.

But why was the original so arrogant?

Wasn’t it because Ning Yao ingrained in her: you’re the future Empress, your status is nobler than theirs...

Ning Yao definitely paid for this!

Ning Yao slept most of the day, waking up in the afternoon.

She said she was attacked, someone hit her, and then threw her down the slope.

As for who...

Ning Yao couldn’t say.

But the Imperial Hunting Grounds are tightly guarded; to do this silently, without detection, must be someone from the Imperial Hunting Grounds.

The Seventh Princess had already gone through an investigation.

Everyone was in groups at the time; no one was alone.

There were no suspects among the Imperial Guards.

No perpetrator could be found.

”Didn’t Her Highness the Grand Imperial Princess not go at the time, she...”

Someone suspected Chuzheng.

But the Imperial Guards testified for Chuzheng; she hadn’t left but sat on the platform drinking tea.

The first group returning could also testify that when they returned, Chuzheng was there, seemingly never left.

”I wouldn’t be surprised if you did it, you weren’t even a bit anxious about the Third Imperial Sister’s disappearance!” The Seventh Princess glared fiercely at Chuzheng.

The Fifth Princess meekly said, ”The Third Imperial Sister is closest to the Grand Imperial Princess, Seventh Imperial Sister, don’t talk nonsense...”

Seventh Princess: ”Whose side are you on?”

Fifth Princess: ”I... I’m just discussing the matter itself...”

Seventh Princess: ”If she didn’t do it, then who did? She’s the only one left here!”

Fifth Princess: ”But wasn’t there the Imperial Guard as proof?”

Seventh Princess: ”Who knows if she bribed the Imperial Guard?”

Fifth Princess: ”...”

The two princesses engaged in a heated exchange.

Chuzheng waited until they stopped, then calmly refuted, ”Do you have evidence to prove it?”

”...”

She certainly—did not.

Chuzheng’s tone was haunting, ”Without evidence, don’t speak recklessly.”

”You...”

The Seventh Princess had no evidence, relying on conjecture, unstable.

Chuzheng argued with the group and returned to her room.

Mu Mian was so nervous her palms were sweaty.

The Grand Imperial Princess did leave midway.

She didn’t know why the Imperial Guards would conceal for her.

But the Third Imperial Sister’s matter...

It was clearly related to her master.

”Your Highness...”

”Speak less.” Chuzheng seemed to know what she wanted to ask.

”...Yes.”

Mu Mian mentally buckled down and did a bit of psychological construction.

Chuzheng returned to her room, hadn’t sat for long before Mu Mian hurried over to report.

”Your Highness, Young Master Xu requests an audience.”

”...What for?”

”The servant doesn’t know, he said it was urgent.” Mu Mian respectfully said.

Chuzheng pondered momentarily: ”Let him in.”

”Yes.”

Mu Mian invited Young Master Xu in.

Young Master Xu wore even more vibrant clothes, highlighting his handsome face.

”Greetings, Your Highness.”

Chuzheng reclined on the Empress Dowager’s Chair, without lifting an eyelid: ”What is it.”

Young Master Xu seemed hesitant, trying to maintain composure, but his tightly gripping the sleeves betrayed his tension.

Yet Chuzheng didn’t give him a glance.

”Your Highness...”

Young Master Xu took deep breaths.

He tightened his sleeves: ”Your Highness, I have something to discuss with you, alone.”

Mu Mian looked at Chuzheng, waiting for instructions.

Chuzheng’s tone was indifferent: ”Lone female and male, that’s inappropriate, speak if you must, if not, leave.”

Young Master Xu: ”...”

Probably didn’t expect Chuzheng to refuse so bluntly.

Young Master Xu tightened his grip on his sleeves even more.

”Your Highness, this matter is very important.”

”Hm, speak.”

Chuzheng decided not to let Mu Mian leave.

Young Master Xu showed a bit of urgency in his brows, more nervousness.

Young Master Xu took several deep breaths: ”Your Highness, you left earlier.”

The rocking chair creaked to a stop.

Young Master Xu knew he had an effect.

But before long, the rocking chair continued to sway.

”And so?”

The woman’s clear, unfeeling voice slowly fell into his ears.

The tone was calm as water, yet somehow carried an air of wanton arrogance.

Young Master Xu’s palms sweated, yet he kept his back straight: ”Your Highness, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell the Seventh Imperial Sister?”

Chuzheng glanced at him: ”What do you want?”

Young Master Xu looked towards Mu Mian.

Mu Mian lowered her head, unmoving, pretending she didn’t exist.

The room suddenly went quiet.

Rustling —

Young Master Xu suddenly undid his clothes, his outer garment fell to the ground.

He shakily walked towards Chuzheng.

Chuzheng: ”!!!”

What are you doing!

Undressing in public, what for!

...Not acceptable even in a room!
