As soon as Shang Changge left the Empress's Phoenix Palace, a young eunuch rushed in to report.
The entire Wen family was executed, and the two assassins were already dead, but Jing Xiuming escaped.
Shang Changge was quite surprised, her crimson lips calmly repeating the little eunuch's words: "Ran away?"
The little eunuch swallowed hard, wishing he could bury his head in the ground: "Yes."
"His Majesty is furious and has ordered the Imperial Guards to search the palace. As long as that poison doctor is still in the palace, he will be caught and executed sooner or later, so please rest assured, Princess."
Shang Changge: "I understand. Thank Father Emperor on my behalf. You may leave now."
She wasn't worried at all; she just had a more nuanced understanding of her younger brother, Jing Xiuming, who was all bark and no bite.
To escape death in such a heavily guarded palace is truly remarkable.
Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Study.
Emperor Mingde sat behind his dragon throne, his face grim, because the Yun and Wen families were utterly useless and only capable of causing trouble.
Furthermore, because of the news brought back by the scouts last night, something he probably never expected, no matter how much he planned.
Changge, who had always kept her distance from Xiao Ji, began to actively approach him, which was probably due in part to the Empress's instigation.
"Peng!"
Emperor Mingde slammed his fist heavily on the dragon throne, his brows now devoid of any fatherly affection, revealing only disgust.
"Truly, my good empress, my good daughter!"
After a long silence in the imperial study, Emperor Mingde sternly ordered Li Fuhai, who was guarding the door, to enter.
Li Fuhai responded repeatedly, tightened the whisk he was holding in his arms, and pushed open the door to enter.
Seeing the emperor's displeasure, Li Fuhai lowered his head and waited for orders.
Emperor Mingde: "Go to Xirou Palace and invite the Imperial Concubine."
A resolute glint appeared in Emperor Mingde's eyes; he could no longer allow Rui'er to continue her carefree life in the martial world.
Otherwise, it's uncertain whether Qingyan's empire will belong to the Shang or the Murong family in the future.
"This old servant will go right away."
Li Fuhai, hunched over, retreated outside the door, beckoning to a nearby eunuch to stand guard outside for him.
He walked heavily to Consort Xirou's palace under the early morning sun, his mind heavy with worries. He had walked quite a distance before letting out a sigh and muttering to himself:
"The court is probably going to be in turmoil."
Having served the emperor for decades, Li Fuhai was incredibly perceptive.
But serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; there are some things you must pretend not to know, even if you know them perfectly well.
Time flew by, and three days later...
The princess's residence was vast, so vast that it had its own training grounds for assassins, secret guards, and personal guards.
It was dusk, and the weather was still a bit muggy but not too hot. The training ground was packed with people.
"Bang bang bang—!"
"Hmph ha hey—!"
The sounds of clashing weapons and the martial arts practice of assassins, secret guards, and bodyguards mingled together, creating a continuous cacophony.
Shang Changge, dressed in a neat and stylish women's outfit, walked back and forth in the martial arts training ground with her hands behind her back, like a leader inspecting the field.
He would nod occasionally to show his satisfaction, and then occasionally point with his mouth or finger.
Don't ask what this is about.
The answer is that as early as three days ago, when Shang Changge returned from the palace, the training plan for the princess's soldiers was formally proposed and implemented.
besides,
During these three days, Shang Changge also reorganized the people, treasury, and shops under the princess's name in the princess's mansion.
Since I've already traveled through the book, there's a high chance I can't go back.
Of course, you need to understand what it is that allows you to make a living. You can't live long if you know nothing and have nothing.
Although there was a beautiful younger brother who genuinely cared for the original owner, as the saying goes, one still has to rely on oneself!
It's absolutely unacceptable to rely on others for everything, and that's not Shang Changge's style of doing things.
The drills ended at sunset.
As dusk fell, Shang Changge had already showered, eaten, and washed up.
However, it was still early, and I couldn't sleep, so I stayed in the study, practicing calligraphy and flipping through books.
Qingyao was grinding ink beside him, and at the same time, she told Shang Changge about some of the rumors that had been circulating outside for the past three days.
