It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

Siqi showed no mercy and raised the stick again, this time aiming at his left leg: "As the descendant of a criminal, you are acting wild here, why can't my lady teach you a lesson?"

Zheng Chengyuan struggled in agony. As the son of a criminal, he seemed to be even lower than a servant in this mansion. His dignity was shattered.

Siqi threw away the stick and ordered the servant behind her: "Drag him out!"

"Yes!"

The servants moved immediately upon hearing the order, rolled up their sleeves, and almost half-dragged and half-pulled Zheng Chengyuan, who was no longer able to resist, and staggered out.

At this moment, Zheng Chengyuan no longer had any of his arrogance. His face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat covered his face which was twisted by pain. His teeth kept chattering, and he no longer dared to say anything disrespectful to Su Wanyu.

Su Wanyu slowly walked to the table and picked up the lazy kitten again. The little guy rubbed against her arms, found a comfortable position, and soon began to snore evenly again.

Siqi clapped her hands, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Miss, if someone from the Zheng family comes again, you don't need to waste your breath, just break his legs and send him out."

Su Wanyu gently stroked the soft fur of the cat in her arms, a faint smile on her lips: "After this, I'm afraid they won't dare to beg me for anything even if they starve to death."

Upon hearing this, Siqi nodded in agreement.

Not long after Zheng Chengyuan staggered away, an envoy from the Princess's Mansion arrived in a hurry, seemingly with some urgent news...

The person who came was the respected Nanny Xia who served the eldest princess. Her steps were steady and her demeanor revealed an extraordinary temperament.

Unlike usual, this time Nanny Xia's face was less stern and more solemn. She bowed deeply to Su Wanyu slowly, and her tone was full of unprecedented respect: "Your Highness."

"The princess has specially sent an old servant here to tailor the most suitable clothes for you."

Nanny Xia's words were warm and delicate, like a spring breeze.

"Measured?"

The maid Siqi beside her seemed quite puzzled, frowning slightly, "Young lady's clothes are usually carefully sewn by experienced tailors in the mansion according to old sizes, and have never been tailored."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Xia's eyes flashed with a gentle smile. She looked up at Siqi and said softly, "Your Highness, this measurement is of great significance. It is to prepare your court dress. When your Highness returns to the palace in glory, His Majesty will hold a grand coronation ceremony for you to announce your identity and status to all the ministers in the world."

"Is your majesty going to hold a grand ceremony for the young lady?"

Siqi could not hide her surprise, and her excitement was evident in her words.

Nanny Xia nodded slightly, her tone firm: "The princess' return to the palace naturally requires a grand ceremony that matches her status. Moreover, your highness has already been canonized by the emperor, and your status is noble, how can it be compared with ordinary people? Such a ceremony is a display of your highness's honor."

"Canonization?"

Su Wanyu frowned slightly, her eyes revealing confusion and doubt.

During the time she spent with Emperor Sheng and Gu Linjun, she had never heard of this matter.

As far as she knew, the emperor passed away a whole year after she disappeared. Under such circumstances, how could he have the opportunity to confer the title on her when she was far away from home and nowhere to be found?

Nanny Xia seemed to have seen through her doubts and slowly explained: "After the princess learned that someone was secretly plotting something bad and wanted to harm her, she secretly went to the emperor's mausoleum last night to pray for the late emperor's blessing, but she accidentally discovered a secret decree that the emperor had secretly given before his death."

"Secret decree?"

When these words were spoken, not only Siqi, but also everyone including Su Wanyu were shocked.

Before the emperor died, he actually left her a secret decree?

As everyone looked at each other in shock, Nanny Xia continued with a gentle smile, "In the last moments of his life, the emperor was filled with regret for the princess being exiled among the people. To make amends, the emperor personally wrote this secret decree before his death, hoping to bring the princess the honor and protection she deserves. Unfortunately, the emperor passed away before this secret decree was made public, and can only lie quietly in the depths of the imperial mausoleum along with those unknown secrets."

"Thanks to the princess' chance encounter this time, she accidentally entered the mausoleum and was able to inadvertently discover this secret decree. It was truly God's will."

There was a hint of emotion in Nanny Xia's tone.

"I see."

Su Wanyu's eyes were filled with complex emotions and a myriad of thoughts.

Could it be that the guilt from my biological father in my heart is really a sign of a dying man speaking kind words?

At the end of his life, the former emperor finally felt deep regret and reluctance towards his daughter!

Fortunately, this belated repentance comes at the right time.

With this secret decree, she could not only enter the palace with dignity, but also to a certain extent deter those forces that intended to harm her.

"Princess, why don't you let me tailor clothes for you now, in preparation for your coronation."

Nanny Xia bowed again with a sincere attitude.

Su Wanyu came back to her senses, gently handed the lazy kitten in her arms to Yun Yi, and then gracefully bowed to Nanny Xia: "Then I'll trouble you, Nanny."

Faced with the princess's kindness and trust, Nanny Xia seemed a little flattered and waved her hands quickly: "Princess, this is really what this old servant should do. I don't deserve it."

Su Wanyu smiled gently, her eyes full of sincerity: "Mammy, in the future in the palace, I hope you can support and take care of me. There is nothing wrong with this."

As the eldest princess's senior attendant, Nanny Xia has been by her side since she was young. From the intrigues in the deep palace to the tranquility and indifference in the Zhao Mansion, she has always been loyal and never left her side, no matter what the situation.

If Su Wanyu could get the support of Nanny Xia, her future career in the palace would undoubtedly be smoother.

Nanny Xia obviously understood her meaning, and stopped refusing. She bowed deeply and said, "Princess, please let me take your measurements first."

"Ok."

Su Wanyu stood up, her eyes full of determination and expectation.

Nanny Xia turned around and nodded slightly to the group of tall, well-trained palace maids behind her.

These women are all the eldest princess's confidants. Although everything about the princess, including her clothes, seems to be handled by the palace's clothing room, in fact every step is closely supervised by the eldest princess herself, down to the smallest detail.

At this moment, there are very few people inside and outside the palace who really know the inside story.

However, the truth will eventually come to light.

The eldest princess would never give Concubine Pei and others any chance to take advantage of the situation.

Once the enthronement ceremony is completed, any attempt to harm the princess would be nothing but a pipe dream.

This is also the reason why Concubine Pei acted anxiously before His Majesty and Gu Linjun found the princess - she tried to completely block all possibilities before everything became clear.

Unexpectedly, after knowing her true identity, Su Wanyu was able to face the emperor so calmly, which completely disrupted Concubine Pei's plan.
