"When our reporter was interviewing royal family staff about the news released in ancient fonts, he accidentally uncovered shocking inside information. Please watch the interview video below." The reporter did not mention any history-related topics and went straight into the interview video at the beginning.
“…Nowadays, our Chinese history has been studied and explored by many historians. They all say that this is the greatest thing in the past hundred years. It will not be long before the ancient characters are officially released…We hope that such deeds will happen every day. It will make us happy to see them. However, as a relevant staff member, I think if I were in your shoes, I would definitely not hope so, because it would be very hard, so hard that it would drive you crazy, right…Today, I have to thank you on behalf of everyone. Thank you for your hard work and for taking the time to accept our interview.” The reporter who was interviewing was young and polite. The staff member who was interviewed covered his face, but he could not hide the shyness and joy emanating from his body.
"...No, no, you're too polite. We just did what we had to do. It was hard, but we're proud of it." The voice of the interviewer was processed, but one could still hear his sincerity. "Besides, no matter how hard we work, we're not as hard-working as Mr. Shang... and the real princess. They're the ones who really have it hard."
"Mr. Shang? The real princess' boyfriend?" The reporter's voice rose slightly. "Is he involved as well? About history and ancient characters?"
"Of course I participated." The person being interviewed was asked a strange question. "When we were on Blue Star, Mr. Shang was almost seriously injured because of looking for historical materials. We suffered a lot in order to find those historical materials. Fortunately, we found them later. The real princess was very grateful to us at that time..."
"Is the real princess grateful that you found the historical data?" The reporter's voice was very gentle, as if she was just chatting casually.
"Of course." The person being interviewed nodded vigorously, as if he didn't realize what these words meant at all.
Both the reporter and the person being interviewed walked smoothly and strangely in the same direction. After a ten-minute interview, the reporter came to the following conclusion.
"Based on the interviews with internal staff, we have to come to a shocking and ugly truth."
"The historical materials released by the real princess and the complete ancient characters that will be released soon are the result of the efforts of Shang Lu, the real princess' ex-boyfriend. The role played by the real princess in them is far less important than that of Shang Lu."
"We learned from the staff who personally experienced and participated that when they went to Blue Star to retrieve the lost historical data, Princess Zhen was only studying at the air base and had never been to Blue Star. It was Shanglu who retrieved the historical data, and it was Shanglu who initially researched and sorted it out. As for the ancient characters, the previous staff member didn't know much, but based on his information, it can be inferred that Helian Zhen has been very busy since the history was released, and he had no time or energy to research and sort out the ancient characters..."
"If the facts are really as the media speculates, and everything is led by Shang Lu, we urgently hope that the real princess can come forward to explain and let us know the truest truth."
The report was a brief fifteen-minute segment, but its content was explosive.
As for Helian Zhen, things were still out of control. These short fifteen minutes could be said to be a fatal blow to Helian Zhen.
"Where is Zhenzhen?" When Helian Lan, who had left home early in the morning, rushed back to the palace, he only saw Shang Lu but not Helian Zhen.
"...said she was going to see Miss Zhu Jin." She took the minimum-equipped guards and went out when he wasn't paying attention, leaving him only a message.
Helian Zhen's already tense face became even more tense. Both of them knew why Helian Zhen went to find Zhu Jin at this time.
Helian Lan just felt a splitting headache.
Lu and Helian Lan were silent for a while. Helian Lan spoke first, "I rushed back just to stay and make sure there wouldn't be any big trouble. You and Zhenzhen should solve the problems yourselves. If this incident is solved, I have nothing to say. If it can't be solved... we can only accept it as it is..."
This is an event that was linked together and finally broke out. The timing of the outbreak was too coincidental, and it was reported in the form of a conclusion. Such a tough attitude, coupled with the interview answers of internal staff, has left no room for denial or defense. This matter can only be faced, and the people facing it are Helian Zhen and Shang Lu. They must overcome this difficulty step by step.
"Your Majesty, that person?" Shang Lu's pupils shrank when he heard Helian Lan's words, and he immediately asked. For those staff members who have close relations with the royal family and have undergone numerous assessments, professional quality is a basic requirement. They must have someone behind them for doing this.
"He is someone else's man, who has been replaced from the dark side to the open side. It's not uncommon. Such people appear every few years." Helian Lan gently rubbed his temples. "Tell Zhenzhen, if you don't want to be more passive, don't touch this person."
Such people cannot be touched because they are being watched by people behind them and any move will cause a lot of trouble. The best way to deal with them is to keep them under your nose.
"I know." Shang Lu answered in a low voice, raised his head and looked directly at Helian Lan, "Your Majesty, if this matter is not handled well, will your statement of 'whatever happens will be done' really mean the position of the princess?"
"Yeah." Helian Lan responded softly. From Zhenzhen's unsatisfactory succession to the princess at the beginning, to being hated afterwards, she was able to stand up again in the end entirely relying on history. Relying on history, Helian Zhen's position seemed to be stable, but because of the fuse that she and Shang Lu had been burying before, it began to ignite after the relationship between Shang Lu and her broke out.
The fact that Shang Lu defamed Zhu Jin, Helian really admitted to breaking up, and then it was revealed that Shang Lu and Helian Zhen were in a childhood sweetheart relationship with Qin, Helian's image began to decline, little by little, step by step, until it hit the bottom now.
Princesses are the most special. No one can accept a person with corrupt morals, ruthlessness and ungratefulness as a princess. If Helian Zhen still cannot turn the tide and change her image after being a princess for nearly two years, she will have to give up her position as a princess.
Shang Lu naturally thought of what Helian Lan thought of. After hearing what Helian Lan said, Shang Lu was speechless for a moment. He knew Zhen Zhen's obsession with the princess, but that obsession could not keep the princess's position.
When he saw that report, he was shocked and then felt that "it's finally like this". He took those wrong steps because he was too impatient at first, and later he knew he was wrong but there was no room to turn back until now.
They are forced into a desperate situation and their survival depends on themselves.
"A Lu, if Zhen Zhen is not a princess, I won't object to you two being together. Please help me take good care of her." Helian Lan suddenly spoke, and Shang Lu was stunned by what he said. He looked up and saw the bitter smile on Helian Lan's face, "...I don't know how she will hate me by then..."
During these days, Helian Lan couldn't help but think, if she hadn't spoiled her little daughter, would it be better to cultivate her little daughter's character? At the beginning, when her little daughter was born, she was happy, and when she looked at her elder daughter and her younger sister, she thought of spoiling her little daughter so that she and her elder daughter would not become the second her and her younger sister.
This original wish was ultimately not realized. Zhu Jin and Zhenzhen took a detour and eventually became the second her and her sister.
"Your Majesty..." Shang Lu looked at Helian Lan, not knowing how to react.
For the first time, he did not think from Zhenzhen's perspective, but from his own perspective, what if Zhenzhen was not a princess.
If Zhenzhen is no longer a princess, all these current troubles will disappear in the future. Even if Zhenzhen will be abnormal for a while, they will eventually return to normal.
If Zhenzhen was not a princess, but just his wife, just his wife, that was actually what he really wanted.
Shang Lu, who was waiting for Helian Zhen to return, was in a daze, his mind full of this if. At the beginning, he asked Helian Zhen to make a choice, whether to continue to be a princess, and asked her to consider whether she could just be his wife. In the end, Helian Zhen chose to continue to be a princess. At the moment, he was also making a choice in his heart.
After a moment, Shang Lu smiled, with an indescribable irony in his smile.
Deep down in his heart, he hoped that Helian would no longer be a princess, but simply be his wife.
Humans are indeed the most selfish.
The signal light in the operating room of the General Department of the Blue Star Hospital finally changed from red to green. The surgical staff, who had exhausted too much mental and physical energy, washed and disinfected, and immediately had a group meal. The rich and calorie-rich meal quickly replenished their energy, and after wolfing down for a while, everyone's complexion recovered a little.
After chatting casually while eating, a few people began to habitually turn on their phones to read the latest news while eating.
Five minutes later, several people looked at each other in bewilderment. The Internet was flooded with news about Helian Zhen and Shang Lu. The heated discussion among netizens was both astonishing and frightening.
"We performed an operation, and the world outside has changed again." The assistant sighed, "I really don't like this feeling."
"They make a lot of noise every day." Chonglou commented without even raising his head and quickened his pace.
"Doctor Chonglou, it's almost time to go to work. Do you still want to see Doctor Zhu Jin?" Everyone in the General Affairs Department knew that Chonglou would go to see Zhu Jin whenever he had the chance.
"Well, I don't know what's going on with her." Chonglou looked down at his assistant, "Are you envious? There's no point in being envious. Zhu Jin is mine."
“…I know.” The assistant felt aggrieved. How could he dare to think about someone like Dr. Zhu Jin?
"That's good to know." Chonglou ate contentedly, and when he thought of Zhu Jin, he moved his chopsticks faster.
"Doctor Chonglou, I actually heard some news. It said that someone hired people to slap Doctor Zhu Jin, and the police are here too..." The young nurse who was taking care of them couldn't help but say something, but she was interrupted before she could finish her words.
“Bang!” Chonglou slammed the table and stood up, looking at the nurse with murderous eyes, “Someone hit Zhu Jin? Damn it, they must be so bold!”
“…I didn’t hit him…” The young nurse was frightened and shrank back at the look in Chonglou’s eyes. She hurriedly explained, but the person she was explaining to had already strode away with murderous intent.
“…I didn’t mean to do that.” The nurse belatedly realized what was happening and looked at the assistants who were sitting stiffly in their seats. Seeing the food and oil splashed on their faces and clothes, she apologized with tears in her eyes.
"..." Several assistants stood up while chewing the food in their mouths. They went to change clothes and wash their faces with a calm look on their faces, but their minds were full of how to take revenge on Chonglou.
The young nurse shuddered as she looked at their backs.
