Chapter 371 Cancellation

Chapter 371 Cancellation
Chu Zhiyuan also left Mingyue Tower.

He was surrounded by Guo Chi and others, walking among the bustling crowd.

A bright moon shines in the sky.

Thousands of lanterns hung high in the sky above Yujing City, illuminating the streets and alleys, making them more prosperous and lively than in the daytime.

Chu Zhiyuan walked with his hands behind his back, looking thoughtful.

After using both soft and hard tactics, Li Hongzhao finally agreed.

He immediately thought of Linglong Library and shook his head.

In fact, Linglong Library cannot be touched, even though people know it is a secret spy den.

The Supervisory Department has been keeping an eye on it, and there are many of its secret agents inside.

A lot of false news about Dajing is spread from there.

There is no new secret place in Dameng for the time being, which is good news.

Li Hongzhao said that the Eighteenth Princess was not as soft as she appeared.

If someone else said this, they might not believe it and think it was just a provocation and would not want this marriage to happen.

But I believe it.

What Li Hongzhao said is correct.

This eighteenth princess is a hidden talent, just like Xiao Ruoling in the past.

I am really lucky. All the women I meet are like this.

He was walking in the crowd and met Huang Shirong and the other three from afar. He just clasped his fists and smiled without stopping talking.

When we returned to the palace, dinner was already over.

"clank……"

The sound of the piano floated from the lake in the back garden to all directions, lingering in the night sky.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped onto the corridor on the lake and slowly walked to the outside of the water pavilion.

The felt curtain at the entrance of the water pavilion has been drawn up, and one can see a beautiful woman and a beautiful girl serving inside the brightly lit water pavilion.

Seeing him appear, the two girls bowed to him and the young girl brought over an embroidered cushion.

Bai Ningshuang was concentrating on playing the piano.

She has slender hands, fair skin and hair like clouds.

Time favored her and left no marks on her.

Especially after using the elixir from Yaoyue Palace, her skin became more delicate and she looked younger.

Chu Zhiyuan walked into the water pavilion and sat on the embroidered cushion, watching with a smile and waving his hand.

The two beautiful women quietly left the pavilion and lowered the felt curtain.

"Zheng!"

Bai Ningshuang pressed the strings of the zither and looked up at Chu Zhiyuan: "The emperor gave you three words, got it."

"Yeah." Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

It seems that the emperor did not know about this secret place before.

I have repaid Lu Donghu in kind, and we no longer owe each other anything.

The depression in my heart immediately dissipated, and I felt indescribably happy and relieved.

"What do you know?" Bai Ningshuang looked at him curiously.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "I can't say."

"You can tell the emperor, but you can't tell me?" Bai Ningshuang was dissatisfied.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mom, it's better if you don't know, lest you accidentally let it slip and get into big trouble."

"...Okay." Bai Ningshuang saw him say that and stopped asking questions.

I was just curious, so I smiled and said, "The Queen praised you for being cautious and gave me a lot of jewelry. Pick a few and send them to Ruoling."

This was obviously not a gift from the Empress, but a reward from the Emperor.

The jewelry made by the emperor cannot be bought anywhere else and is extremely precious.

"Okay." Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

"The Queen also asked you about the Eighteenth Princess."

"What did the queen say?"

"The Emperor will announce it at the banquet tonight."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "So urgent?"

"It's hard for Ruoling." Bai Ningshuang sighed, "Being in the royal family, Ruoling has no freedom. Ruoling can understand that."

"Understanding is understanding, and feelings are feelings," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "If father marries another princess, can you understand, mother?"

Bai Ningshuang glared at him fiercely.

Then he sighed, "Will Ruo Ling refuse this marriage in anger and simply make room for the Eighteenth Princess?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Xiao Ruoling is not such a decisive person. She seems smart but is actually gentle.

Taking the Duke's Mansion and herself into consideration would be a sacrifice for herself.

Chu Zhiyuan's mind raced as he thought of a way to crack it.

Time is too tight, and I haven't communicated with Princess Eighteen yet, so there is no tacit understanding.

Just at this moment, Feng Xi's voice came from outside: "Princess."

"Manager Feng, what's the matter?" Bai Ningshuang stood up and pulled aside the felt curtain and asked.

Feng Xi hurried to the outside of the waterside pavilion, his face solemn: "General Manager Huang just came over to tell me that Princess Dazhen Eighteen is injured and cannot attend the palace dinner. The emperor has canceled tonight's banquet."

"Injured? Someone tried to assassinate her?" "Yes, someone tried to assassinate Her Royal Highness Princess Eighteen."

"Who did it?"

"Grandmaster Zhu has already chased after him, but has not yet found the murderer."

"Damn it!" Bai Ningshuang gritted her teeth and said, "What about the Eighteenth Princess? Is she okay?"

Feng Xi said: "The imperial physician has come over, but we don't know the severity of the disease yet."

"Then go to Sifang Pavilion and wait. Send me news at any time."

"Yes."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned in thought.

Assassination?

It was Da Meng who did it?
Li Hongzhao had just said to be careful of the Eighteenth Princess who might assassinate him, and then the Eighteenth Princess was assassinated.

It's a bit too coincidental.

But Da Meng shouldn't dare to do such a thing.

Even if I wanted to ruin this marriage, I would not use this method. It is too rough and will cause serious consequences.

It seems like an evil sect.

Is it the revenge of the evil sect?

...Or is there something else going on?
-

The news came quickly.

"Princess, the imperial physician has completed the diagnosis. Princess Eighteen is fine, but..."

"Just what?"

"Princess Eighteen has two scars on her face. A strange poison was used on her. These two scars cannot be healed."

"Where's the top elixir?"

"The elixir is useless. It is a strange and nameless poison. It is very strange."

"This damn assassin!" Bai Ningshuang said angrily, "Did he do it on purpose?"

This was obviously aimed at Princess Eighteen's face, deliberately trying to disgust Yuan'er.

Want Yuan'er to marry a disfigured woman as his princess.

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Manager Feng, has Grandmaster Zhu returned?"

Feng Xi said: "I couldn't catch up with the assassin, and I turned back because I was worried about another assassination."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly, as if thinking about something.

Zhu Caifu's cultivation was extremely high, and even in such a furious state, she still gained nothing, which was a bit strange.

Bai Ningshuang looked at him.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Mom, don't say anything now, just wait and see what happens."

When you don't understand anything, it's best not to make any decisions or say anything.

Bai Ningshuang frowned and said angrily, "This damn assassin!"

Chu Zhiyuan raised his head and looked towards the Sifang Pavilion: "Let's take a look."

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. Not to mention Bai Ningshuang, the entire royal family was talking about this matter.

Chu Zhiyuan continued to practice.

Everything is empty. If you want to control your own destiny, you have to practice and become a great master.

Under the pressure of the silver-sheathed long sword, the Glazed Knife Sutra's spiritual transformation realm made rapid progress.

The sword intent became more and more concentrated, the spirit became more and more solid and pure, and the two sword auras nurtured by the Tianchi acupoint became more and more refined.

They kept stabbing at the last floor of the copper building, which was also the strongest and largest floor.

When he saw this huge and solid copper building, he felt an inexplicable sense of despair.

Compared to the previous layer, it is at least two-thirds larger and one-third thicker.

To break through such a bronze building, I wonder how much hard work it will take.

Therefore, if you want to shorten the time, you must practice the Glazed Knife Sutra well.

If one could practice to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he would surely be able to break through the copper tower with ease and reach the Grandmaster's perfection.

……

The next morning, when he arrived at Mingwu Hall in the morning light, he was met with sympathetic glances.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and came to Chu Qingfeng.

Chu Qingfeng waved his hand: "Hurry up and practice yours!"

The two of them came to Zhiqiu Palace and sat on the warm kang in the palace.

Chu Qingfeng sighed and said, "Your marriage is going to be ruined."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Dazhen won't send another princess here, right?"

Chu Qingfeng shook his head.

"Of course not," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "That would be too ugly."

Chu Qingfeng nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled even more: "Will the marriage be cancelled?"

Chu Qingfeng sighed: "From what my brother said, it should be cancelled."
