She was the supreme and noble Princess Lingyu, who considered herself the most outstanding woman in the world before meeting the Princess Zhenguo.

The current situation leaves her with nowhere to regret her actions or where to express her hatred.

No, the most hateful person is Qiao Lian'er. If Qiao Lian'er hadn't disrupted her will and made her feel resentful, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

As long as she has a breath left, she will never give up on Qiao Lian'er for the rest of her life.

This is called putting yourself in a desperate situation to survive!

Thinking this way, and seeing her subordinates reveal that deadly matter, Lingyu was no longer so afraid.

She refused to believe that the emperor of Daze Kingdom would kill her.

"Princess Lingyu wrote back to Dongfu Kingdom, asking our king to send a thousand warships to harass the coastal defenses of Daze Kingdom."

"Because the Emperor of Daze Kingdom did not grant Princess Lingyu's request to allow the Second Prince Pei to return to the country with Princess Lingyu to get married, Princess Lingyu wanted to put pressure on Daze Kingdom. Those ships did not fly flags because they had a way out. In fact, they were sent by Dongfu Kingdom."

Princess Lingyu straightened her back instead, a cold smile of utter indifference playing on her lips. She was right that she had done all these things, so what?

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review knew that he could adjudicate cases, but when it involved relations between two countries, the final decision rested with the Emperor.

Now that Princess Lingyu's crimes have been confirmed, he has no choice but to detain her for the time being and go to the palace.

The emperor had already received the good news and was overjoyed, eager to see Qiao Lian'er.

Originally, they planned to send Eunuch Qi out of the palace to summon Qiao Lian'er, but upon hearing that Qiao Lian'er's cousin was giving birth, they decided to wait.

Qiao Zhizhi successfully gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Then she received a report that Princess Lingyu had fled with her entourage and was taken to the Dali Temple for questioning.

Before long, it was already late at night.

The emperor asked Eunuch Qi to find a map, circled a location on it, and after thinking for a moment, circled an even smaller one.

"At the morning court tomorrow, I will reward Lian'er in front of all the court officials and nobles," the emperor said.

Having a sickle is his good fortune, and it is also a good fortune for the Great Swamp Country.

Eunuch Qi glanced at the two circled locations. Neither was far from the capital; one was more prosperous, and the other more remote, which showed how much the Emperor valued the Princess Zhenguo.

However, the emperor also had a hunch that there were treacherous barriers between Qingfeng Plain, Tianhe Prefecture, and these two cities and counties, making it difficult for troops to be brought together.

Even if you trust someone completely, you must still be wary of each other between ruler and subject to prevent future troubles.

A eunuch came in to report that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was waiting outside, and that all the crimes committed by Princess Lingyu had been confirmed.

"Granted an audience," the emperor said.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review presented a detailed report on the case.

"Is the new mother alright?"

"While the Princess Zhenguo was by his side, the attack of a thousand warships was far more heinous."

"How does His Majesty intend to punish Princess Lingyu?"
