Zhou Zhenguang's guess was correct.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng had safely left the capital. He carried over two million points, enough silver and Zhou family wealth stored in his spatial storage, and led the Zhou family to Jiangling City on the border at breakneck speed.
The only unexpected thing was that they were unable to take Cheng Xianyi away successfully.
"How could this be... This can't be! Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng never told me any of this, I don't know, I don't know anything..."
"Every day he just takes me out to eat and drink, buys me jewelry and clothes. Apart from occasionally saying some strange things, there's really nothing else going on!"
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true..." Lin Jiaoyun said in a panic.
She hadn't yet recovered from the joy of being named a princess.
He was suddenly summoned to the palace again in the middle of the night.
This time, she learned from Emperor Yan that Zhou Cheng had escaped from the capital and that the Zhou family possessed a devastating weapon.
That weapon was so powerful that it could allow one person to withstand the attacks of a hundred.
Nearly two thousand people died, including members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, prison guards, and Imperial Guards. Zhou Cheng's side only had about twenty people, including his second sister and Madam Zhou, who were both weak women, yet they managed to kill the guards.
What kind of concept is this?
With that kind of weapon, even a woman could potentially take on a hundred enemies!
"Bang--"
Emperor Yan slammed his hand on the table, his anger turning into a forced laugh as he interrogated the emperor: "Who in the capital doesn't know that Zhou Cheng is devoted to you? He spent most of the General's Mansion's treasury while pursuing you."
"In the end, because Zhou Zhenguang's treason was exposed, he was afraid of implicating you, so he severed ties with you and chose Cheng Xianyi!"
"He's gone to such lengths for you, how could he possibly hide the existence of a deadly weapon from you! Lin family daughter, you've got some nerve, daring to conceal this from me?!"
"Confess now!"
Lin Jiaonu died unjustly.
She was truly wronged.
Zhou Cheng was indeed very good to her, treating her with utmost sincerity. However, she genuinely knew nothing about the weapon. She was even more shocked than Emperor Yan that Zhou Cheng was able to escape from the capital.
If she had known Zhou Cheng was so powerful, able to escape alive, and possessed a deadly weapon that even the Yan Emperor feared, she wouldn't have fallen out with him.
That deadbeat simp should be kept hanging on.
"I already said I don't know, I don't know! What do you want from me to believe me?!" Lin Jiaonu was furious. Spoiled as she was, she couldn't stand being wronged like this and immediately shouted out.
A murderous glint flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes.
His eyes narrowed dangerously, and an imperial aura filled the entire hall. Just as he was about to give an order...
The crown prince, who had rushed over for his beloved, was startled and quickly reminded her, "Father, we still have a use for this woman. Zhou Cheng has not been captured yet. If anything unexpected happens, we can use her as a hostage."
“Zhou Cheng loves her to death. In the past three years, he has been in danger several times because of her. I am certain that once Zhou Cheng knows that she is in trouble, he will do everything he can to save her.”
Emperor Yan glanced at the Crown Prince with a complex and disappointed look in his eyes.
He decreed that the Lin family's daughter and the Cheng family's daughter should enter the palace together, but unexpectedly, Cheng Xianyi disappeared at this crucial moment...
The servants of the Cheng family stole their indentures in the middle of the night and fled.
The coincidence of the Crown Prince appearing twice is too great; perhaps he came for the Cheng family's daughter?
They certainly have big ambitions!
"Lin Jiaoyun, daughter of the Lin family."
Emperor Yan looked down at Lin Jiaoyun from his high position.
That disdainful look, as if looking down on ants, and those casually uttered words that could decide a person's fate, deeply pierced Lin Jiaoyun's soul:
“He showed contempt for the emperor’s authority in the main hall, protected Zhou Cheng, demoted him to a commoner, and temporarily imprisoned him in the Lin family.”
