"Do we still need to finish dealing with the matters of the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion?" Zhou Qiyan leaned on his shoulder, idly twirling her hair in circles.

Sisi sensed something and said, "Sit still."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a large group of people rushed into the hall. The Marquis of Zhenguo was furious at his spineless appearance and drew his sword to glare at him.

Lady Hou hurriedly stopped him, "My lord, let's talk this out. Ce'er must have some unspeakable difficulties!"

"What unspeakable secret? The seal on his body has been broken. Doesn't he know what that seal represents? Does he want to kill our whole family?!"

The Marquis of Zhenguo was completely irrational; the old lady, who was walking behind him, kept her eyes on Sisi.

She walked into the hall unhurriedly, sat in the seat of honor, and said with an air of authority, "Doesn't the Princess intend to explain to me why you have taken a liking to our strategy again?"

“The Princess’s residence and the Marquis’s residence have always kept to themselves. Our Ce’er has been betrothed since childhood. We beg the Princess to be lenient and release Ce’er.”

Sisi gave him a low scolding and told him to sit up properly before calmly looking at the old lady, "How can you be so sure that the current Ce'er is the original Nalan Ce?"

The old lady's expression suddenly changed.

Not only her, but the commotion outside the door also suddenly fell silent, as if it had been choked.

“My son is naturally my son. Does that mean that Nalan Ce is not my son?” The Marquis of Zhenguo suppressed his anger.

Lady Hou also asked, "What does the Princess mean by that?"

Do I really have to spell it out?

Sisi laughed and said, "The original destiny of the name Nalan Ce was only four years old. He died long ago. After the age of four, Nalan Ce was just another person's body. You sealed Nalan Ce's original soul in his body and let him grow up. Didn't that old Taoist tell you that if the seal is broken, the entire Zhenguo Marquis's family will die a violent death?"

The old lady's face paled. "Stop talking nonsense!"

The Marquis of Zhenguo and his wife trembled and could not speak.

"He doesn't intend to die a violent death. It's just that the seal is broken, and his main soul will awaken. If he knew that you had sealed him for many years, he would definitely kill you in a fit of rage."

A teacup appeared out of thin air in Sisi's hand, and everyone's expression changed in unison. "You are not the Princess."

"Of course not."

Sisi continued, "Nalan Ce's soul has already been reincarnated. What is in front of you now is the main soul of this body, named Zhou Qiyan."

"What?"

The old lady was panting heavily, but fortunately, a maidservant nearby caught her, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Her voice trembled as she asked, "My grandson...my grandson is gone?"

"It was you! You're the one who killed my son!" The Marquis of Zhenguo charged forward without saying a word, sword in hand.

The sword blade made a deafening sound as it struck an invisible protective layer, sending the Marquis of Zhenguo flying a great distance.

"My lord!"

Lady Hou knelt on the ground, holding him tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Princess, please spare Ce'er. Ce'er has never done anything wrong in his life. Please forgive him."

“It’s not that I’m not going to forgive him, it’s that he doesn’t belong here. You’re the ones who forced him to stay.”

Sisi took a sip of tea. "Madam Hou, you are destined to have no children. Forcing it will be useless."

Lady Hou collapsed to the ground, her face ashen.

It is true that she was destined to be childless. She had been pregnant in her youth, one child after another, but she could not keep them all. Ce'er was only saved to the age of four by using evil magic.

She's a woman, how could she be destined to be childless?

"Impossible, impossible..."

Sisi looked at the old lady and said, "Our ancestors were not blessed, which is why this happened. We must accumulate good deeds and do good in the future. My child, there may be more opportunities."

“Nalanze no longer exists, so you don’t need to worry about him dying in the street; it won’t happen.”

At this point, Sisi stood up and said, "I'll take my leave now."

"No, you can't leave! Give me back my Ce'er!" The old lady grabbed her leg as she took two steps at a time.

"Please, release Ce'er."

Sisi lowered her eyes, a cold golden light in them. "Grandma, you can't force things. You made a mistake. If it weren't for me, you would all be dead once the seal was broken. So, stop bothering me."

The old lady trembled as she loosened her grip.

As the two stepped out of the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion, heart-wrenching cries echoed from within.

"Madam, shall we return to the Heavenly Palace?"

As the sun set, his face was bathed in a warm glow. Sisi didn't look up, so he bent down slightly, looking down at her with a smile on his lips.

"nature."

Sisi reached out to him, but Zhou Qiyan didn't place his hand in her palm. Instead, he grabbed her hand tightly, and once he had it, he would never let go.

"Let's go."

…………

"Young Master Feng, please don't wait any longer. The Princess will not be returning." Chunxiang sighed and placed the wedding dress she had brought on the table. "Tomorrow is your wedding with Miss Yu. Please try on this wedding dress; will it fit you?"

Feng Yue didn't even glance at him, silently sitting on the threshold steps, his wine cup still full.

After a long while, someone asked, "Where did she go?"

Chunxiang shook her head. "I don't know. The princess only said that she won't be coming back."

Feng Yue knew she wasn't the eldest princess. He drew his bone sword, stood up, and said coldly, "The wedding is canceled. I will not marry Yu Xue. If anyone is to marry, it'll be Fu Yuan!"

After saying that, he disappeared into the night.

Chunxiang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran to Yu Xue's room, "Miss Yu, Young Master Feng..."

“I know he doesn’t like me. There are more important things to do now. Let’s go save the princess first!” Yu Xue got up and walked out.

She had just received a notification from the system saying that the female lead was in danger in the countryside outside the capital and was on the verge of death. If the female lead died, the world would collapse.

She has to go and save the female lead.

Yu Xue didn't expect to run into Feng Yue on her way to find the Princess. Feng Yue was riding a horse and walking very slowly.

She scolded anxiously, "Feng Yue, what are you still dawdling about? The Princess is in danger, aren't you going to save her?"

Feng Yue paused, then immediately understood who the princess she was referring to was. She had disappeared, and the original princess had returned.

Unfortunately, none of the princesses loved him. Feng Yue closed his eyes briefly, then opened them with a cold gaze. "Where is she?"

"suburbs."

Yu Xue was dragged onto the horse by him, and after a bumpy ride, they finally arrived at the outskirts of the city. After searching for a while, they saw the figure of the Princess in the mass grave.

She was very thin, with sunken cheeks, and hadn't been doing well lately. Despite having similar faces, Feng Yue could tell they were completely different people.

This eldest princess is too bleak.

Feng Yue dismounted and picked her up, speaking weakly, his first words being, "Why didn't A Yuan come?"

She always cared about Fu Yuan; that's the true nature of the eldest princess.

That person was nothing but a fleeting dream.
