Helian Zhen stared blankly at the comments online with a dazed look on his face. Shang Lu sat aside with a frown on his face. He could never have imagined that such a dramatic scene would occur.

The head of the Propaganda Department closed his open mouth and accepted the fact.

"Why did this happen?" After two lifetimes of experience, Shang Lu still found it difficult to understand and accept this change.

"That's normal. Some things are just like that." The head of the Propaganda Department relaxed his frown a little. "Now the important thing is to control the situation before it changes. If we can control it, that's good. You've been accepted by everyone now. Once the real princess handles it, this matter will be over."

“…Will it go smoothly?” Shang Lu’s brows were still furrowed, not daring to relax at all.

"Who knows?" The head of the publicity department looked at Helian Zhenzhen who was still in a daze and said honestly, "Didn't you say before that the ancient font would be released soon? The real princess can continue to publish according to the normal schedule, and other work can also be carried out normally."

When Helian Zhen heard his words, his eyes slowly showed a reaction. Shang Lu heaved a sigh of relief, "Okay, Princess Zhen's schedule will continue to be arranged." After that, he paused, "This time it's a foreseeable defense. I just hope it won't get out of control again." Shang Lu expressed his expectations. When he said expectations, there was also a hint of warning. He thought that the role of the Propaganda Department should be greater than it is now.

"I hope so too." The head of the Propaganda Department raised his eyebrows, looked at Shang Lu and said slowly with a raised corner of his mouth.

In the Internet age where free speech is becoming increasingly unconstrained, the control of many speeches is very limited. Therefore, faced with such a situation, the only way to change public opinion is to take head-on action.

As the afternoon went by, more and more people participated in the discussion about Helian Zhen and Shang Lu, and the opinions began to diversify, but nothing got out of control. This situation changed until the evening. After nightfall, someone suddenly asked, "Since Shang Lu was protecting Helian Zhen and listening to her, was it Helian Zhen who instructed Shang Lu to slander Zhu Jin?"

A single stone stirs up a thousand ripples. After this question was raised, the entire Internet was boiling with all kinds of speculations and discussions. Although there were no relevant reports in the media or on the Internet, posts created in the forum would soon be blocked because they involved the words "real princess". However, if they were blocked, new ones could be created, and if they were blocked, new ones could be created again. As a result, discussions on other chat tools and communication platforms became more intense.

By the second day, it had become quite popular.

Although the discussion was not too heated due to Helian Zhen's identity, the heated discussions were enough to make Helian Zhen feel uncomfortable. 80% of the netizens believed that it was very likely that Helian Zhen had instructed Shang Lu.

“…I didn’t think enough back then.” Shang Lu smiled bitterly as he looked at the comments that were constantly being updated online. He never thought that the thing he did without much thought would start to show its power more than a year later, and in such a tyrannical and long-lasting manner…

"Do you still want to publish the article?" Helian Zhen fell completely silent in just one day. She looked at the comments online with an expressionless face, and her true emotions could not be seen. She only asked after hearing Shang Lu's words.

“…Yes.” Shang Lu was silent for a moment before he uttered a word. As soon as he finished speaking, Helian Zhen stood up and walked out.

Shang Lu looked at her back for a long time without moving.

At 10 am, Helian Zhen finally appeared in front of the media. Her slightly made-up face was covered with a familiar smile, but it could not hide her haggardness. Helian Zhen smiled and ignored the questions from the reporters. She simply announced the news that the ancient characters would be released today in a clear voice and then turned and left.

The long-awaited news about the release of ancient characters effectively attracted everyone's attention and diverted the attention of a large number of people. After the press conference, Shang Lu and the head of the publicity department, who had been paying attention to the online discussions, breathed a sigh of relief.

In contrast to them, Lian Huier, who was watching Helian Zhen's video, had a look of surprise on her face. The previous report had a good effect, but her goal had not been achieved yet. She was frowning and thinking of a solution when she heard a knock on the door. Lian Huier pouted slightly and opened the door vigorously, and saw her father, Prince Lian Chengze.

"Dad..." Lian Huier pouted and threw herself into Lian Chengze's arms, feeling very aggrieved.

"My dear... have you been wronged again?" Lian Chengze, who had not yet changed his military uniform, hugged Lian Huier with a loving look on his face. His fierceness outside was gone in front of his precious daughter. Lian Chengze, who had served in the army and had made great achievements in the war and was even the first person other than the queen's husband to receive the honorary title of prince, was the most influential person among the members of the royal family except for the queen and the princess. He was often stationed on the affiliated planets and rarely on the Blue Water Planet.

"Dad must have seen it, and he came to ask me..." Lian Huier pouted. In front of her father who loved her to the core, her intelligence and capability in front of others disappeared completely, leaving only the coquettish demeanor of a little girl.

"If I don't ask you, you will say that dad doesn't care about you." Lian Chengze patted her back to comfort her, "Hui Er, don't feel wronged, wait for dad to help you get revenge!"

"Pfft..." Lian Huier burst out laughing, "Dad, can you let Zhu Jin stand in front of me so I can hit him?"

"…Not for the time being…" Lian Chengze blinked and looked at his daughter, "We can't let Hui'er hit you either. If Hui'er's hands are hurt, Dad will feel bad."

"Dad..." Lian Huier screamed and laughed, "I'm not afraid of pain."

"You're not afraid, but I am..." Lian Chengze also smiled, glanced at the news Lian Huier was reading, raised his eyebrows and began to seduce Lian Huier, "Hui'er, do you want to do an explosive and exclusive report?"

"I want it!" Lian Huier burst out, "Dad, tell me quickly!"

Her father's sources of information are much more numerous than hers, and they are more accurate. If her father doesn't tell her, then she won't tell him. If he tells her, then it is definitely explosive and true. She was able to become a famous reporter at a young age, not only because of her own ability, but also because of her father. With his network of sources, she has information that others can never get.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, so you can get rid of the 'little shrew' image as soon as possible, haha..." Different from the vicious expression he had when he saw the video of Lian Huier being beaten continuously by Zhu Jin, Lian Chengze's expression at this moment was a joking laugh, which made Lian Huier scream and rush over to "make a scene".

After the "throwing a tantrum", Lian Hui'er's gloomy heart suddenly brightened up, and she clung to Lian Chengze in high spirits to listen to his explosive and exclusive news.

Even Lian Huier couldn't help but exclaim when she heard her father's explosive and exclusive news, "...Oh my god, this is too shameless!"

"Dad, how did you know this news? I've asked around before but didn't find out anything." After hearing the explosive news, Lian Huier asked the question again, expressing her jealousy.

"Inside information..." Lian Chengze touched her head, "When the time is right, I will give you some people to use."

"Okay." Lian Huier nodded hurriedly. Her father had people everywhere, so she was not surprised. However... "Dad, when will the time come that I've been waiting for?"

"When your wish comes true." Lian Chengze said lightly, ruffling her hair.

"Tsk...your wish is coming true..." Lian Hui'er muttered while pulling her messy hair. For her wish to come true, she would have to have a capable and handsome husband, become the number one reporter on the Blue Water Planet, and... uh... become a princess.

Being a princess is a deep-seated desire of every Lian person.

Hearing Lian Hui'er's disdainful mumbling, Lian Chengze's eyes dimmed, but he said nothing, just changed the subject, "Hui'er, hurry up and write your exclusive report. It will be published tomorrow. I'll go wash up first, and we'll go out for dinner when your mother comes back."

"Okay, Dad, remember to wear the clothes I designed and had made for you..." Lian Huier nodded excitedly, quickly turned on her phone to office mode, and started typing and contacting people, busy as a whirlwind.

Zhu Jin was also very busy. The appointments for those who came to see her were already booked for several days. She was busy seeing patients and doing assessments during her working hours. After the accident, Zhu Jin's inpatients were discharged one after another. According to the recovery situation, the relevant personnel of the Medical Association conducted a detailed statistics.

After the statistics were completed, the Medical Association notified Zhu Jin that she had passed the assessment and could practice traditional Chinese medicine in the future.

This usually long assessment was completed at the fastest speed in history after a major accident.

As soon as the evaluation was over, Chonglou clamored to celebrate and asked everyone in the General Affairs Department to celebrate for Zhu Jin together, as a way of making up for Zhu Jin's welcome party. Before Zhu Jin said a word, everyone cheered and began to actively discuss where to celebrate.

Chonglou winked at Zhu Jin, winked and whispered in her ear, "Look, this is the world of young people. Didn't you say you want to change too? Follow me, and you'll get twice the result with half the effort."

"…Whether other people's world is young or not remains to be seen, but your world… is very young, very young!" Zhu Jin couldn't stand his smug look, raised his hand and gently patted his shoulder, "Fortunately, it's not young people under three years old."

"Zhu Jin!" Zhong Lou froze in the middle of his winking, and turned her face away without a second thought, "How dare you call me childish! I'm childish and you're mature... we complement each other perfectly!"

"..." Because someone suddenly held her face intimately, Zhu Jin blinked and looked at Chonglou, unable to speak.

"..." Chonglou realized what he had done belatedly. The cool and tender touch on his palm made him unable to control himself from gently touching it. It was smoother and softer than the fine silk of historical relics he had touched before. It was addictive...

Chonglou looked down at Zhu Jin's pretty face. Seeing that there was only him in Zhu Jin's clear and dark eyes, his heart was pounding. He hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding Zhu Jin's face, but the touch of his hand seemed to penetrate into his bones... Chonglou resisted the urge to look away, and amid the noisy discussion of his colleagues, he grabbed one of Zhu Jin's hands to stop her from retreating.

"Zhu Jin, these past two days I have been thinking about dissecting the man who influenced you in your dream, then knocking you out and feeding you a bowl of Meng Po soup to lead you out of your dream..."
