Chapter 878: Chapter 878: Phoenix Dominates the Rivers and Mountains (20)

The Seventh Princess took a beating; her screams were so harrowing that it was painful just to hear.

Ning Yao left with mixed feelings, and once she had walked quite a distance, she asked the person beside her, ”Did you see her make contact with Hui Zhen when we arrived?”

”Your Royal Highness, no.”

Ning Yao’s eyes narrowed slightly.

”Your Royal Highness, today’s incident was clearly a scheme set by the Seventh Princess. How did it end like this?”

Chuzheng not only remained unscathed.

Her Majesty the Empress even rewarded her with many gifts as a means to comfort her.

And Hui Zhen, without even starting, just turned traitor...

”What if Hui Zhen was already bribed by Chuzheng from the beginning?”

It wasn’t a mid-point bribe; it was from the start...

Today’s scheme was not set by the Seventh Princess for her.

Rather, she set it for the Seventh Princess.

”The Grand Imperial Princess isn’t that cunning, is she...”

Ning Yao scoffed lightly, ”She has changed. Did none of the people we sent to monitor her return?”

”No,” said the person behind, ”Also, the assassin is missing too.”

Neither alive nor dead.

Ning Yao frowned, ”Since the assassin has disappeared, find another one.”

Who knows what that assassin looked like.

If this drags on, Ning Yao believes something else will happen.

”This matter must not have any unforeseen incidents; act quickly.”

”Yes.”

If Chuzheng knew that Ning Yao was thinking this much, she would only express utter innocence.

She wasn’t that idle.

To conspire with a Taoist Nun to frame the Seventh Princess.

The Seventh Princess has a bad temper, a bit of brains, though it probably consists of bean curd residue.

For Chuzheng, the Seventh Princess was not too difficult to handle.

Last time, she stole her jade pendant; this time Chuzheng ’took’ her stuff.

One matter repaid by another.

Surely, it’s more convenient without a bastard wasting money.

Chuzheng returned to Ziwei Palace.

Yann Ge waited at the palace gate, and upon seeing her return, immediately approached.

”Your Royal Highness, are you okay?”

Chuzheng asked meaningfully, ”Do you wish I was in trouble, or not?”

”Of course, I hope you’re not in trouble.” Yann Ge’s clear eyes caught the remaining light of the sunset, sparkling brightly, ”There’s no advantage for me if you’re in trouble.”

”You’re not afraid of me.”

The youth displayed three parts bafflement, seven parts innocence, ”I... should I be afraid of you?”

Chuzheng said coolly, ”Didn’t you hear them saying I might be a ghost?”

The young man puckered his lips, ”Your Royal Highness, you’re joking. You’re just fine; how could you be a ghost? You see, you even have a shadow; ghosts don’t have shadows.”

Chuzheng followed his gaze downwards.

Their shadows stretched long on the steps.

Chuzheng asked him, ”Do you think I’m a good person?”

Yann Ge tilted his head and smiled brightly, ”Your Royal Highness is very good.”

”Do you truly believe that?”

Yann Ge nodded earnestly.

Chuzheng swung her hands behind her and left Yann Ge, returning to her room.

Yann Ge: ”...”

Did I say something wrong just now?

The Seventh Princess was confined.

That Daoist Nun Hui Zhen was also thrown into prison, though her life wasn’t taken.

After this incident, no one dared to provoke Chuzheng anymore.

After all, the Seventh Princess provoked her twice, and neither ended well.

Oh, right, and the Prime Minister’s daughter too.

It’s said that she now doesn’t dare to leave her house.

Rumors about Chuzheng became more and more ominous.

”Is she really that ominous?”

”What does being ominous matter? Her Majesty the Empress still favors her.”

”I think Her Majesty the Empress probably plans to make her the Crown Princess.”

”Really, comparing people drives you insane.”

”Whose fault is it that her father is the Phoenix Lord and has the Wen Family backing her? Can any other princesses compete?”

”Enough, you’re discussing court politics now; do you want to get in trouble?” someone scolded.

A few members of the Imperial Guard Army immediately fell silent.

They turned to see the woman who had entered.

”Ma’am...”

”Not patrolling? Why are you lurking here?”

The Imperial Guard Army immediately rushed outside.

The woman muttered a curse and tossed her hat onto the table.

”Creak...”

”I tell you all...”

The woman thought they had come back, but instead turned around and saw it wasn’t the group of rascals standing at the door.

”Your, Your Royal Highness?”

The dark night was windy.

Perfect for having a chat.

Head of the Imperial Guard: ”...”

If she weren’t bound.

”Grand Imperial Princess, what... what exactly do you want?” Why bring her here!!

Chuzheng sat cross-legged on the ornamental rock, ”To talk to you.”

They were currently at the highest part of the Imperial Garden, atop an ornamental rock.

The surrounding rocks and vines perfectly concealed their presence.

The head of the Imperial Guard Army was bound hand and foot, lying on the rock, looking up at the bright moon above.

”You’re... here to talk to me?” I feel like you’re here for my life!

The head of the Imperial Guard felt miserable!

She, the head of the Imperial Guard Army, was tied up here, how humiliating!

This is humiliating beyond measure!

And when did the Grand Imperial Princess get this good at fighting?

Even though she was caught off guard, it shouldn’t have been this easy for the Grand Imperial Princess to overpower her!

The head of the Imperial Guard was in despair.

”I’ll give you two choices.” Chuzheng extended two fingers and waved them in her face.

”...”

”One, obey me from now on.”

”Two, obey me from now on.”

”Your Royal Highness... is there any difference between these two choices?” Even the punctuation hasn’t changed!

The silvery light of the moon outlined a layer of icy frost on the woman’s cheek.

The night breeze swept over.

The head of the Imperial Guard Army felt chills running up her spine.

She suddenly recalled what her subordinates had been discussing earlier...

Bah bah bah! How could there be ghosts in this world?

None!

Absolutely none!

Chuzheng’s lips slightly parted, coldly uttering two words: ”There isn’t.”

The head of the Imperial Guard forced herself to stay calm, ”So what’s the point of Your Highness’s two choices?”

Chuzheng pondered for a moment, ”It seems more sincere this way.”

”...”

Sincere my foot!!

The head of the Imperial Guard took a deep breath, ”Your Highness, we the Imperial Guard Army are directly under Your Majesty. If you want me to obey you, isn’t it asking me to commit treason? I dare not.”

Chuzheng asked earnestly, ”Which one will you choose?”

”...”

Did you not hear what I said?

There’s only one option, alright?

Has the Grand Imperial Princess gone mad?

Besides, it’s simply impossible; the Imperial Guard Army protects the Empress, how can it obey a princess?

No way!

”Not choosing?” Chuzheng looked at her.

The head of the Imperial Guard said earnestly, ”Your Highness, let’s stop this nonsense.”

Chuzheng gazed far into the distance, ”Can you see over there?”

The head of the Imperial Guard followed Chuzheng’s gaze.

It wasn’t in the direction of the palace entrance, the head of the Imperial Guard found it slightly puzzling.

What’s there to see?

”Your Highness, you...”

”Your family’s fate still hangs on your decision.” Chuzheng interrupted, ”It’s life or death. It’s all up to you.”

A faint glow of firelight appeared in the distance, as if something had caught fire.

The head of the Imperial Guard broke out in a cold sweat, unable to believe it as she looked at Chuzheng.
