As soon as they arrived in the capital, Ruan Nanzhu learned about it from the system.
But she was not worried at all. After all, she was now the real princess, the real Ruan Nanzhu.
Even if Ruan Shiyi knew about it, what would it matter? He just wanted to find the royal family's only princess. Did it really matter whether it was true or not? As long as he said it was true, then he was true.
Outside the palace gate, the Gu family was beaten black and blue, but they still refused to leave. The whole family protected the real princess behind them and shouted.
"She really is the princess. We are not lying. We just want to escort the princess back to the palace."
"I'm Princess Fenghua. I've been missing for so long, didn't my brother send anyone out to look for me? Then why did he pretend to take me out of the temple? What's his plan?"
Ruan Shiyi in the palace soon received the news and immediately ordered people to arrest them and put them in jail, and also sent people to verify what they said.
That night he came to Yunxia Palace to have dinner with Ruan Nanzhu.
"My dear sister, have you heard that a group of troublemakers came to the palace today, claiming to be Princess Fenghua? Isn't it ridiculous that you are sitting here, and someone dares to impersonate you?"
Hearing the temptation in his words, Ruan Nanzhu was not panicked at all.
"Perhaps it's because I've lived outside the palace since I was a child, and few people in the palace still remember what I look like. Now that you, my royal brother, have just ascended the throne, could it be that someone with ill intentions wants to impersonate me and harm you?"
"Royal brother, you must not easily believe the words of outsiders. You are my only relative now. If even you doubt me, I don't know where in this world there is room for me."
Seeing her crying, Ruan Shiyi immediately softened his heart.
"Well, why would my brother doubt you?"
The brother and sister did not become strangers because of this incident, but became closer.
The Gu family was squatting in a stinking sky prison, but they were still comforting the princess who they thought could bring them wealth and glory.
"Princess, please don't be angry. Although we were thrown into prison, the incident was a big deal and there were so many people watching."
"I believe His Majesty has received the news. As long as His Majesty investigates, I believe you will be able to return to the palace soon."
Suddenly, a burst of laughter was heard outside the cell.
"Ah! Who is so bold as to pretend to be me? It turns out to be your family!"
The people in the cell were also shocked when they saw her.
"Stinky girl, why aren't you dead?"
Seeing that his daughter was still alive, Gu Daniu was in a bad mood.
"Yiyi, how did you survive? And why are you here?"
Ruan Nanzhu seized on what she had just said and ran frantically to the prison door.
"What did you mean just now? What do you mean by impersonating you?"
"How dare you yell at our princess? Do you believe I'll drag you out and beat you to death right now?"
Ruan Nanzhu waved his hand to signal the maids and servants to leave.
"You're a princess! How can you be a princess? You're just a pariah!"
Ruan Nanzhu said nonchalantly.
"I'm not a princess, are you?"
"You've assumed my identity! How dare you! How dare you, a lowly person like you, assume my identity! I'm going to tell my brother, and have him slay your entire clan..."
Ruan Nanzhu looked down at her.
"Sister Nan Yi, you are confused. Although I asked for a bowl of water from your house, I left very quickly. You can't take away my princess status just because of a bowl of water, right?"
"Although our names both contain the character 'Nan', this is no reason for you to imagine that you are the real princess. You should never forget your roots. You are Gu Daniu's daughter, Gu Nanyi. How can you despise your birth?"
Everyone in the Gu family also accused her of stealing the princess's identity and asked her to return it to the princess as soon as possible. Maybe the princess would forgive her and spare her life. They didn't want to accompany her to death.
Ruan Nanzhu looked helpless.
"How could you do this? I just asked for a bowl of water from your house, and you wanted to replace me with your daughter. I heard about your story and wanted to plead for mercy, asking the emperor to let you go, and even give you a thousand taels of silver as a reward for your kindness. But now it seems that there is no need. You are so greedy that you have truly hurt my fragile heart."
"Sister Nan Yi, please wake up quickly and stop dreaming about being a princess. How can a sparrow like you turn into a phoenix? As long as you honestly admit your mistakes, I can reward you with one hundred taels of silver as travel expenses to send you back home."
The real Ruan Nanzhu was like crazy and wanted to rush over to catch her.
"Ah...! You bitch! I'm going to kill you, you bitch..."
Soon the soldier guarding the cell came over and slapped her several times.
"Can you bear the responsibility of disturbing Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Ruan Nanzhu walked out of the cell with a look of deep sorrow.
"I really didn't expect them to be that kind of people. Fortunately, my brother trusted me, otherwise I would have no way to defend myself."
"Don't worry, Princess. Even if a poor, unruly person like that enters the throne room and dons gorgeous clothes, she won't be able to hide her poverty and will never be able to pretend to be a princess."
Ruan Shiyi looked at the letter in his hand, chuckled, and then burned it to ashes.
So what if she is the real princess? As long as the princess in the palace is obedient and sensible, as long as she admits that she is the real princess, who can refute her?
Don't blame me for not thinking about the brother-sister relationship. It is true that Xuanyue Kingdom needs this princess.
