At this time, Tuoba Zhu smiled. With Pan Rumiao's arrival, the poison in her body could be cured.

Before the Fourth Princess Tuoba Zhu finished speaking, everyone in the hall had pricked up their ears and listened to their conversation. None of them had expected that this young lady was actually the Fourth Princess's friend. This matter seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

The Dan Emperor, seated on the throne, frowned slightly, his sharp gaze fixed on Pan Rumiao, and he thought to himself: This woman is definitely not an ordinary person. What is her purpose in coming to Danyan Kingdom? His face remained expressionless, and he waited quietly for her to continue.

Pan Rumiao raised her eyes to look at Man Chuchu, and continued calmly: "I once heard the Fourth Princess mention that she and you, the goddess, are friends, and they have a very close relationship. In the future, the goddess will become her sister-in-law.

It is for this reason that I have decided to personally escort the goddess with my guards, and to visit the Fourth Princess while I am there."

She paused for a moment and said slowly, “Yesterday when we escorted the goddess and her group to the city gate, it was already dark and the gate was closed.

We inquired and learned that there was a manor belonging to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside the city. Considering the relationship between the goddess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but also fearing that it would tarnish the goddess's reputation, we had no choice but to quietly place you, the goddess, in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's manor temporarily.

I had originally planned to contact the Fourth Princess after entering the city today and ask her to pass this matter on to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but I didn't expect someone to take advantage of me and encounter such a mishap..."

Man Chuchu was immediately grateful and looked at Pan Rumiao and said, "Thank you, Miss Pan!..." Before she could finish her words, Pan Rumiao interrupted Man Chuchu's grandfather and father before they could even speak.

Pan Rumiao waved to Man Chuchu, then turned to look at Crown Prince Tuoba Di and said, "Your Highness, I'm deeply sorry! I honestly didn't know that today was your Highness's wedding day, otherwise I would never have dared to act so rashly."

"Miss Pan, you did the right thing. I, Your Highness, would like to thank you for saving Chuchu!" The prince clasped his hands together to express his gratitude.

After hearing her words, the hall erupted in murmurs and sighs. Everyone looked at Pan Rumiao with a touch of admiration. If it weren't for Miss Pan's help, the goddess would have likely met with disaster...

At this time, an inappropriate voice sounded, "Hehe! No one will be convinced by what you said. How can the guards around you defeat those men in black?" The second prince Tuoba Feng sneered and said sarcastically.

The fourth princess Tuoba Zhu looked at Tuoba Feng and could not help but loudly retort, "Second brother! How can you say such a thing? Miss Pan saved the goddess sister, why don't you believe it! Miss Pan is very powerful. She only needs to sprinkle the poison powder and those men in black will fall down obediently!"

As Tuoba Zhu spoke, the expressions of everyone in the hall suddenly changed, their eyes filled with surprise and suspicion! What was the origin of this woman? She even knew how to use poison?

Tuoba Zeyang, however, did not believe what Tuoba Zhu said. He only felt that she had been colluding with this woman for a long time. He immediately said in a cold voice: "Fourth Princess, you actually believed her lies that were so full of loopholes?"

He then turned to Pan Rumiao, murderous intent in his eyes, and sternly shouted, "Miss Pan! How dare you lie in front of His Majesty the Danyan Kingdom? You claim you saved the goddess, but tell me—how could those few mediocre guards around you have saved the goddess from those black-clad assassins?"

Tuoba Feng also sneered at this time, and immediately took over the conversation and provoked:

"My cousin is absolutely right. The goddess and those around her all possess profound martial arts skills, yet they were injured and knocked unconscious by the men in black. This shows that the strength of those men in black is extraordinary.

And how did you manage to rescue the goddess from the men in black? Could it be that you and those men in black..." He deliberately left it unfinished, letting everyone think about it, and causing the people of the Danyan tribe and the prince to deal with her, letting them fight.

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became tense and solemn again. Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Pan Rumiao, with scrutiny and suspicion in their eyes.

Tuoba Zhu was so angry that his face turned red. He was about to open his mouth to explain, but was stopped by a look from Pan Rumiao.

Pan Rumiao met the gazes of Tuoba Feng and Tuoba Zeyang with a calm expression, without a trace of panic.

She looked at the two of them and said calmly, "I didn't expect that the Second Prince and the young general would only have such limited knowledge. It's really not commendable.

The reason I saved the goddess was because the Fourth Princess had previously failed to find the goddess in Western Chu State, so she specifically asked me to keep an eye out for her. Is there anything wrong with that?

She spoke in a calm tone, and her words were not empty talk. Tuoba Zhu had indeed instructed her in this way before, even with a hint of command.

Then, she stared at Tuoba Zeyang and said, "As for the young general's doubts about the abilities of the guards around me, there is no need to worry too much.

The guards accompanying me are all skilled fighters carefully trained by my family. While I wouldn't say they are invincible, they are more than enough to deal with a few exhausted men in black."

Tuoba Zeyang was speechless and mute after hearing her words. He opened his mouth but couldn't find any words to refute her. He didn't expect that this woman could be so eloquent and have such a powerful tongue.

He stared at her coldly, and finally snorted, "Oh? Miss Pan is from Western Chu, I wonder which family in Western Chu you are from? How could you have such a master by your side? This general really wants to see your guards."

"I'm always at your service." Pan Rumiao's lips curled up into a faint smile. "Young General, if you want to spar with my guards, you can do so anytime."

At this time, everyone in the hall had different expressions and was thinking about something.

Crown Prince Tuoba Di standing aside did not say a word. He frowned and looked at Pan Rumiao.

He was filled with doubts, and he thought carefully. He had never seen this woman in Western Chu. What was her purpose in getting to know me? What was her purpose in going to such great lengths to help him?

Unlike Tuoba Di's doubts, Tuoba Zhu was secretly delighted. She quietly looked at her brother, feeling that she had helped the Crown Prince a great favor today, and her face was full of joy.

On the other side, the mother of the second prince Tuoba Feng, Concubine Jing, looked at the queen's happy expression with a sinister look in her eyes.

At this moment, she saw the emperor observing Pan Rumiao calmly, and suddenly a plan came to her mind.

Randomly, she concealed the darkness in her eyes, smiled, and spoke softly to Pan Rumiao:

"Miss Pan, you saved the goddess of our Danyan tribe. This is truly a great deed. I'm sure the leader of the Danyan tribe will be deeply grateful. May I know where Miss Pan's residence is?"

Pan Rumiao was secretly delighted. She had been wondering how to introduce herself, and now was the perfect opportunity. She bowed slightly and said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, Empress, and Imperial Concubine. I come from the Poison God Valley in Chuwu Mountain, West Chu."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent. Most of those present had heard of the name 'Poison God Valley'.

No one spoke for a moment. Only Ouyang Yunyao, who was sitting at the bottom, curled her lips slightly, and immediately understood Pan Rumiao's thoughts.
