Shen Qingyuan turned her head and glanced at him from head to toe.
“You delivered the vegetarian meal, and you were also present when Shen Zhiyi was assassinated.”
"If it wasn't you, then who could it be?"
She raised an eyebrow, gave a cold sneer, and strode away.
Ye Jinghong stood there, stunned.
This woman...
Truly ruthless and merciless!
Shen Qingyuan wandered around the underground palace for a long time before finally finding the exit.
A look of joy appeared on her face.
The door opened, and light flooded in.
Just as I was about to run out, I noticed a tall figure standing against the light outside the door.
He slowly approached.
The shadows around her, like giant beasts from the abyss, gradually enveloped her.
Shen Qingyuan's pupils shrank in fright.
He staggered back two steps and fell to the ground.
"Yan Zhuoxu...it's you..."
"How dare you! You dare to address His Highness the Crown Prince by his name!" Shuofeng followed behind him and said sternly.

She lunged forward, trying to grab Yan Zhuoxu's clothes.
He stepped back and sidestepped.
Shen Qingyuan missed her target and fell to the ground, clenching her fists and her eyes filled with resentment.
"A concubine's daughter?" Shuofeng snorted twice and said, "I might as well tell you that His Majesty has already followed the Empress Dowager's decree and conferred upon the Second Miss the title of Princess Rong'an."
"Today, His Highness will use the Crown Princess's ceremonial staff to welcome the Second Miss back to the palace."
"Now, she is no longer your half-sister."
"She is the most noble Princess Rong'an of Cangwu Kingdom, His Highness's only Crown Princess."
Shen Qingyuan's face instantly drained of all color.

Shen Qingyuan screamed.
