"Who? Who died?" Princess Xianglan seemed to have heard something incredible. She turned into a lizard and turned to look at Kuruyi.

Looking at the lizard's head, Kuruyi swallowed nervously and said, "That... I mean Princess Xianglan. The new emperor held a funeral for Princess Xianglan five years ago. The burial was very high. She was buried in the mausoleum prepared by the new emperor for himself. He said that after the new emperor passed away, he wanted to accompany his most beloved little princess."

After saying this, Kuruyi looked nervously at Princess Xianglan who had turned into a lizard in front of him. He was relieved when he saw that she had no intention of hurting him.

"So I'm already dead... Then what am I now?"

The big lizard in front of him began to shrink gradually and turned into Princess Xianglan again. Thinking of what happened before, Zeng Wenyu immediately took out a set of clothes from the storage ring, ready to cover her after she turned into a human form again. However, the expected naked situation did not happen. Princess Xianglan, who turned into a human form again, was already wearing a long scaly skirt, which seemed to be made of the scales on her body when she turned into a lizard.

Princess Xianglan, who had turned into a human, knelt on the grass in a daze. Looking at Princess Xianglan like this, Mu Zhi remembered the days he had spent in the cage before. He walked up to her and hugged Princess Xianglan with some heartache.

Princess Xianglan buried her head in Mu Zhi's chest, her body trembling, and faint sobs came from Mu Zhi's chest. Mu Zhi's right hand gently stroked Princess Xianglan's back, comforting her. After a long time, Princess Xianglan finally stopped crying. Suddenly, she fell asleep exhausted after knowing so much news.

He motioned Mu Zhi to take Princess Xianglan back to her tent. When he saw the two of them walk into the tent, Zeng Wenyu came to Kuruyi. He looked at Kuruyi's complicated eyes as he looked at Mu Zhi's tent, and gently patted Kuruyi on the shoulder: "Okay, this is not a bad thing."

"It's not a bad thing, but that's Princess Xianglan. Although the new emperor has arranged a funeral for her, and although she has been killed..."

Kuruyi himself didn't know what he was talking about. A princess had occupied their old clan land for more than five years. Although the princess knew nothing during these five years, what could she say? He couldn't just go to the Central Imperial City of the New Kingdom and say that Princess Xianglan, who had died in the royal records, had turned into a dragon beast and occupied their old clan land for five years, and ask the royal family of the New Kingdom to compensate them, right? If Princess Xianglan could not prove her identity and did not go to the Central Imperial City with him, he would probably be convicted on the spot and implicate the entire Kuru clan.

Kuruyi wanted Princess Xianglan to go to the Central Imperial City with him, but looking at Princess Xianglan's condition just now, if she couldn't get through this, she would probably never go to the Central Imperial City of the new country in the future. What's more, her brothers and sisters still wanted to harm her. Otherwise, how could the curse be cast on her to frame the eldest prince?

Thinking of this, Kuruyi suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and said to Zeng Wenyu, "Little brother, I need you to tell Princess Xianglan something. Her elder brother... that is, the eldest prince of our Xin Kingdom, has not come out of the Prince's Mansion for five years because of the anger of the new emperor because of her. Now the other princes of Xin Kingdom are ready to make a move, and everyone wants to take the throne."

Zeng Wenyu nodded. He knew that he had to tell Princess Xianglan about this matter.

Seeing Zeng Wenyu nod, Kuruyi felt relieved. He took his curious son back to the tent first. Kuruhu had been living with Mu Zhi these days. She didn't leave now because she didn't know whether it was appropriate to return to her tent. After all, there was a princess in it. As a citizen of the new country, she naturally had some fear of the royal family of the new country.

Zeng Wenyu did not return to the tent because his tent was broken when Princess Xianglan transformed. His tent was now just a few pieces of cloth fixed to the ground, rustling in the wind.

Looking at the cloth rustling in the north wind, Zeng Wenyu left reluctantly. He walked to a small river next to a small mound, took out a chair from the storage ring, took out an iron pot, scooped some water from the river, caught a few fish, threw a few pieces of mist mutton that Kuruyi had given him before into the pot, started a fire and started to cook soup.

Soon the aroma of the soup floated throughout the camp. After a while, Mu Zhi walked out of her tent, followed by the sleepy Princess Xianglan. Kuruyi originally wanted to come out as well, but when he saw Princess Xianglan, he immediately stopped Kurubao, and the two did not come out on their own initiative.

Kuru Fox didn't care. She asked Zeng Wenyu for a chair and sat on it in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Mu Zhi brought Princess Xianglan to Zeng Wenyu's side, took two chairs from him, put them aside, and pulled Princess Xianglan to sit down: "Brother, what soup are you cooking? Today's soup smells so good."

"The fog sheep and the fish in this river are fresh. They will take a while to cook. I'll serve them to you when they're ready." Zeng Wenyu glanced at Princess Xianglan and stirred the soup in the pot with a spoon. "But the ingredients are limited. I don't know if it tastes good. It's definitely not comparable to the royal family's food."

"It's okay. It's good to have something to eat." Princess Xianglan stared at the soup in the pot. "Besides, when I was in the royal family, the food cooked by the royal chef didn't have such a fragrance. In addition, there was a poison test every time we had a meal, so the food was already cold when it was served, and the soup was only warm."

"It seems that the royal family looks glamorous, but in reality they are not that good. They can't even have hot meals?"

"It's not that there was no heat at all. The food was actually at normal temperature when it was served. It's just that there are many rules in the palace. Some people always think that someone could sneak into the palace and poison the food. After the whole poison testing process, the food was already cold."

"No... the new emperor is a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm, right? Moreover, he is in the late Tribulation Realm, which means he is already the cultivator with the highest level of cultivation on this continent. What kind of poison could poison the new emperor?"

"Father said so, but the people below kept saying things like 'what if'. Even when Father wanted to cancel the poison test, several ministers almost threatened to die. Later, Father stopped mentioning the matter."

When talking about these things, Princess Xianglan seemed to have opened her chatterbox, constantly complaining about the unreasonable rules in the palace. It was not until the soup in the pot was cooked and Zeng Wenyu handed a bowl of steaming hot soup to her that she swallowed hard and stopped talking.
