Recall that not long ago, she was the eldest princess admired by thousands of people and was only one step away from becoming a princess of the emperor.

Furou stroked her belly gently. If she hadn't used this secret technique, she would have been a beast in a cage, and that little bitch would have slowly worn her to death.

"Don't worry." The Minister of the Left, Heng Yue, who was always protecting her, couldn't bear to see her melancholy expression. "I have already prepared everything for the banquet."

Furou let out a long breath, she tilted her head and looked into Hengyue's eyes lovingly, a smile appeared on her slightly haggard face, "Hengyue, if I didn't have you, I would probably be executed right now."

Heng Yue hugged her distressedly, his face full of disapproval, "Your Highness should not say such things."

He is Furou's first man and has been with Furou since he entered the court as an official. He feels that the person he follows is the best in the world, and all the good things in the world should naturally belong to Furou, so he is willing to clear all obstacles for Furou.

"I won't let anyone stand in your way." Heng Yue whispered in her ear, "Just focus on preparing for the birth during this period."

After leaving Qinzheng Palace, Hengyue was heavy-hearted.

If there was only one princess, Furou, in the past, then as long as she gave birth to an heir with heterochromatic eyes, she would be qualified to sit in that position.

But Lan Ning suddenly appeared, causing Heng Yue's plan to win over some court officials to be intercepted halfway.

Heng Yue had argued with Lan Ning last time in Fengluan Palace, but it was just a brief meeting that taught him a good lesson.

That ugly princess is no pushover. She has deep hatred and disgust, and will stop at nothing to get revenge. She clearly has no strengths, yet she can still win over the Regent Xuan Heng.

There are also some noble lords who should have supported Furou.

Now that the empress is bedridden and Furou cannot attend court due to public opinion, the daily morning court has become the domain of the Regent and his party, forcing them to be unable to move forward.

When have they ever felt so aggrieved? Lan Ning must be eliminated.

-

Wanjing City is very lively in the evening, with a constant stream of merchants coming and going.

After getting off the carriage, Xuan Heng held Lan Ning's hand. He stared at Lan Ning with a half-smile, "There are many people at the market. Xiaoguai, you must hold on to me tightly, otherwise someone will kidnap you and sell you away."

Lan Ning: “???” What kind of rhetoric is this for coaxing children?

However, she still listened to Xuan Heng's words and held his hand tightly, but her curious eyes betrayed her excitement.

Lan Ning had only seen this kind of ancient market on TV dramas before, but she didn't expect to experience it in person.

Bian Zhao looked at Lan Ning lovingly, "This is Linlang Street. Tell father if there's anything you like and he'll buy it for you."

He also wanted Lan Ning to rely on him, but when his eyes fell on her and Xuan Heng's tightly clasped hands, his blue eyes paused slightly, and then he looked at Xuan Heng with some disapproval.

Can you please not hold his daughter's hand in public?

Lan Ning nodded heavily, "Okay!" She was penniless and accepted everyone who came.

Lan Ning pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the sounds around him. The secret of the Realm of Beasts is the things or events that exist in this world but have not been discovered by anyone.

She walked around the Regent's Palace two or three times, and found some clues of world information from the dusty fragments in the corner of the study. She then spent a whole day stringing together this information to form a world secret.

Then she got information from the oldest financial manager in the palace and the teacher who taught her history, and connected the information in the same way. After a few days of hard work, she obtained three secrets of the world.

[Secret 1 of the World: Inner Dan is the source of power, not the source of life.]

[Secret 2 of the World: Heterochromia is actually a medium to see through the world.]

[World Secret Three: History is not wrong, the Beast God really exists.]

Lan Ning knew clearly that the sources of information in one place were limited. She had finally been able to come out to the market, so it was necessary for her to collect more information.

But soon, Lan Ning discovered that everyone on the street was avoiding them.

What happened in the Penglai Palace in Wanjing that day was spread throughout Wanjing by someone with ulterior motives. People inside and outside the city all knew about it. Now there was a princess with heterochromatic eyes in their country. Looking at the evil spirit beside Lan Ning, who didn't know her identity?

Now they are afraid of being in trouble with the Regent, so naturally they are hiding farther and farther away.

As for Lan Ning, what he heard were naturally all the heinous things that Xuan Heng had done.

Xuan Heng himself didn't feel anything. He was a quiet person by nature and didn't like crowds. If it wasn't for getting a smile from Lan Ning, he wouldn't have come to this busy city.

Now the crowds were dispersing as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions, which was actually what he wanted. He was at ease protecting Lan Ning as he went to look at the accessories in the shop.

Most of the jewellery used by the orcs are gold and silver jewellery, which are particularly dazzling when placed under the night pearls.

"Is there anything you like?" Xuan Heng glanced at her indifferently. He thought Lan Ning was cute, so naturally anything she wore would suit her.

But Lan Ning was not keen on these little gadgets. He asked the housekeeper to buy a lot of them, but Lan Ning just threw them on the dressing table or put them in a box.

The jewelry made by the orcs was delicate and beautiful, like a work of art. Lan Ning had tried to be dressed up as a puppet palace maid with her head covered with pearls and jade. Her head felt so heavy that her neck was about to break. She didn't like this feeling, so she would pick out some that she liked and put them on the table to look at.

Lan Ning shook his head and pulled Xuan Heng out the door, "I don't like these."

"Then I'll take you somewhere else." This was within Xuan Heng's expectations. After raising Lan Ning for a few months, he had more or less figured out Lan Ning's hobbies.

Since learning to read, the little cat has been particularly fond of reading and writing. His study has almost become Lanning's bedroom, but his bookshelf is full of historical books that are full of nitpicking. If he reads all of them, he will probably become a stuffy nerd.

That's not okay.

Another purpose of Xuan Heng bringing her out this time was to buy some storybooks that ordinary people would like to help Lan Ning open her mind.

Bian Zhao was still carefully selecting a gift for his precious daughter. He just said a few words to the store owner. When he turned around, he saw that Lan Ning was gone. He immediately paid the money and went out with the things to look for someone.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Before Bian Zhao found Lan Ning, he heard someone shouting on the street. Then a crowd gathered, and a man riding a black horse with red eyes galloped away with a red flag held high.

On the second floor of the study on the other side of the street, Lan Ning was sitting by the window resting with a new and interesting book in her arms. The man's loud shout frightened her so much that she trembled and dropped the book, jumping directly into Xuan Heng's arms.

"What's wrong?" Lan Ning grabbed Xuan Heng's sleeve uneasily. She leaned out of the window and looked out. The person who was shouting was no longer there, but she could keenly hear an orderly sound of footsteps amid the noise downstairs.

Xuan Heng's reaction was even faster than hers. He only took a glance outside and recognized who the person was.

"It's the general's team, don't be afraid." Xuan Heng just saw someone running by holding a red flag. It seems that the wolf tribe is going to lose a newborn again this time.

Lan Ning's cat ears trembled, "General?"
