Xiao Fengming took the dagger and slowly walked towards the "Princess." The "Princess's" expression changed instantly; only then did she begin to feel fear.
"You, you, what are you trying to do? I am the eldest princess, how dare you!"
"Princess? You've worn a mask for so long that you've forgotten your place. You dare use my face?!"
Aaaaaah—!
The screams of a woman echoed from inside the cell.
After everything was over, Xiao Fengming washed his hands in the basin that Xiao Lan brought him, glanced at the "Princess" whose face was covered in blood and who had already fainted, and snorted coldly.
She only slashed her face a few times with a knife and she fainted. Compared to the pain of being skinned alive, this little bit of pain was nothing.
As Xiao Fengming walked out of the prison, Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin came to greet him.
"Royal sister." Xiao Yanchu's eyes showed some worry. He was afraid that if his royal sister saw Song Zijie, she would be hurt again.
Back then, it was obvious to everyone that the Empress Dowager loved Song Zijie.
Who could feel good about being hurt so badly by the one they love?
Xiao Fengming smiled slightly, "Little Seven, my elder sister is alright, it's a pity I couldn't find out anything."
"It's alright, leave it to me."
To put it bluntly, Xiao Fengming was nothing more than a princess who had been pampered since childhood. She had no idea what interrogation was. The reason she was brought to the prison was simply to let her vent her anger.
"Royal sister, you can return to normal once the gauze on your face is removed," Su Ruojin said.
"Thank you, Xiao Jin," Xiao Fengming said sincerely.
When Su Ruojin treated her face, Xiao Fengming was prepared for pain, but she didn't expect that she would just take a nap and the surgery would be over.
She didn't feel much pain on her face, but it was a little itchy. Xiao Jin told her that the itching meant her skin was starting to repair itself.
Xiao Fengming is still unsure if her face can fully recover, but she would be satisfied even if it only recovers halfway.
"Xiao Qi, Xiao Jin, you're getting married soon. Don't let your elder sister's presence affect your wedding."
"Royal sister, our wedding wouldn't be complete without you," Su Ruojin said sincerely.
There aren't many people in the palace who are truly kind to Xiao Yanchu, but the Eldest Princess is one of them.
If an imposter were to attend his wedding, Xiao Yanchu would feel somewhat regretful when he found out.
Fortunately, it's not too late.

February 18th.
The Yunqi convoy has arrived.
Su Ruojin, along with Yuan Hong and Xing Yue, went to the outskirts of the city to pick up her grandmother, great-uncle, and cousin.
"Grandmother, great-uncle, cousin, you must be tired from your journey."
The old lady looked at Su Ruojin with a pained expression, "Why didn't you stay in the manor? What are you doing out here?"
"I just missed my grandmother." Su Ruojin quickly took the old lady's hand.
"Good, good, good." The old lady smiled broadly.
"Grandmother." Yuan Hong also came up to greet the old lady.
"Oh my, it's been so long since I've seen him, Yuan Hong has grown so tall." The old lady was quite pleased, as little Yuan Hong looked much more energetic.
“Grandmother, I will soon be a centurion under General Su. Look, this is the Canling Sword that my brother-in-law gave me.” Yuan Hong hurriedly reported his achievements and took out the Canling Sword to show the old lady as if it were a treasure.
The old lady's face lit up with surprise and delight. "Oh, little Yuan Hong, you've made something of yourself! Not bad, not bad. From now on, you'll be the one to protect your sister and grandmother."
"Okay, I will definitely protect Sister Jin and Grandmother well."
"Okay, okay."
"This humble official (your subject) greets Princess Le'an and Princess Jiayue."
Upon hearing this voice, Su Ruojin looked up at the four people who had alighted from a carriage behind her, and was momentarily stunned.
