Just as Liu Xueyu followed the eunuch who came to her mansion to announce the imperial decree to leave the princess's mansion, a group of soldiers suddenly broke into the princess's mansion, arrested all the guards and servants that the princess brought back from Wei State, and conducted a thorough search of the princess's mansion.

Fortunately, Liu Xueyu did not bring the precious items she got from Chu Fan back to the princess's mansion. She had already anticipated that something unexpected might happen when she returned to Shu, and she could not give away the treasures she brought with her.

When Liu Xueyu left Wei and returned to Shu, she had a premonition that she might be in danger. While in Wei, Liu Xueyu kept asking Chu Fan about the situation in Shu. Chu Fan, unfazed, gave Liu Xueyu all the information about Shu that his eunuch, Li Gonggong, had collected.

In the past few months, Shu Kingdom had been debating whether it was appropriate to send 100,000 dan of grain to Wei Kingdom. In recent days, Wei Kingdom's spies had heard that his father had stopped attending court. Liu Xueyu had already felt that Shu Kingdom might be experiencing a political storm.

Therefore, she decided to secretly hide some important items, such as telescopes and precious sweet potato and corn seeds, in the border areas of Wei State.

As for the methods of making stirrups, saddles, cement, penicillin and refined salt, she had already memorized them firmly in her mind, and was prepared to re-manufacture and promote these important inventions based on her memory if there was no danger after returning to Shu.

In this way, even if she could not bring back the physical objects, she could ensure that these valuable knowledge and technologies could be applied and developed in Shu.

It was Liu Xueyu's action to prevent any accidents that caused the soldiers who had been hiding in the dark to break into the princess's mansion after Liu Xueyu returned to Shu. Even after searching carefully, they were unable to find anything valuable in Liu Xueyu's mansion.

When Liu Xueyu stepped into the magnificent gate of the imperial palace, walked through the long corridor, and finally arrived at the main hall of the court.

She saw many ministers standing in the hall, but she found that it was just as she expected, there was no one on the dragon throne. Before entering the palace, Liu Xueyu was still looking forward to seeing her father sitting on the throne that symbolized supreme power, but the reality was so cruel.

The two sides of the dragon throne originally belonged to the positions of her father's left and right hands, but now sitting there were her fourth brother Liu Buchu and his mother, Concubine Wang.

Liu Buchu's face was a bit childish, but also revealed a hint of pride, while Concubine Wang had a serious look on her face, as if announcing that the Kingdom of Shu would change its owner from now on.

Liu Xueyu searched the hall carefully but could not find any trace of her two brothers. She could not help but feel worried about their safety.

Although Liu Xueyu had various expectations in her mind on the way back to Shu, she knew that some changes might take place in this country, but she never imagined that the younger brother who was once very weak in her eyes would now become the person in charge in the court.

All these changes happened so quickly that it was difficult for her to accept them. Liu Xueyu felt confused and uneasy. She didn't know what would happen next, nor did she know what role her fourth brother would assign her in this new court order.

When Liu Xueyu stepped into the center of the magnificent hall with a firm step, the eunuch beside Concubine Wang immediately shouted at her, "Why don't you kneel and salute when you see the Acting Regent Liu Buchu?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xueyu couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the sound echoed in the hall: "I, the third princess of Shu, except for my own father, who else is qualified to make me kneel down?" Her voice was full of confidence and pride.

"How dare you! You are just a princess, how dare you be so arrogant in the court!" At this time, a minister's angry voice suddenly sounded in the court.

Liu Xueyu turned her head and saw a minister in official uniform standing up and accusing her in a stern tone.

This minister was named Chu Shen, a trusted confidant of Liu Xueyu's fourth brother, Liu Buchu, after she left Shu. It wasn't until Liu Xueyu successfully rescued her father and arrested and executed all of Liu Buchu's followers that she learned of this man's name and identity.

At this time in the court, when the new favorite minister began to accuse Liu Xueyu, many ministers who had followed the King of Shu to restore the country frowned.

Their hearts were filled with anxiety about the struggle for the throne, and although they did not want to get too involved in this dispute, Liu Xueyu was very important to them. She was not only a princess, but also a comrade who had fled to Wei with them and experienced the ups and downs together.

Moreover, these old ministers watched her grow up and had deep feelings for her, just like their own daughter. How could they tolerate her being insulted like this?

In the hearts of these old ministers, they looked down on the fourth prince who had grown up in the palace. This fourth prince had no idea of ​​the sufferings of the mortal world, nor the cruelty of war. How could such a person be a good emperor?

Liu Xueyu showed no fear in the face of the accusation. Instead, she bravely shouted back, "Who are you? How dare you roar so brazenly in this solemn court? Do you think you can act so recklessly just because His Majesty is not here?"

Seeing this, Liu Buchu, who was sitting in a high seat, finally spoke up and said, "Lord Chu, you have crossed the line."

When Chu Shen heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "I know I was wrong. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Liu Buchu said in a calm but dignified tone: "Lord Chu, don't do it again. Now you can return to your position."

After witnessing such a serious mistake, the situation was calmed down with just one sentence: "Don't make it again next time." This made many ministers present sigh in their hearts. They might not care which of the King of Wei's children would inherit the throne, but they definitely did not want to see an emperor who only trusted his cronies and indulged treacherous ministers.

Because such an emperor would not only threaten their own interests, but also destroy the Kingdom of Shu that the King of Wei and many ministers had worked so hard to build.

However, they were only ministers after all, and the one sitting next to the throne was the Fourth Prince. If they stood up and criticized the Fourth Prince for his mistakes, it would be an overstepping of authority. Doing so would be against etiquette and rules.

Liu Xueyu completely ignored these rules. Not only was she the third princess of Shu, she was also Liu Buchu's sister. She didn't believe that Liu Buchu would dare to attack her in front of so many ministers.

Liu Xueyu bluntly questioned Liu Buchu, "Fourth Prince, as the regent, how can you tolerate ministers disrupting order and making loud noises in the court? Do you still have respect for your father and the government?"

Facing his sister's questioning, Liu Buchu's face turned very ugly. After all, he was only a child of about ten years old. How could he possibly withstand such pressure?
