Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

"Have you heard that His Majesty will pass the throne to that person in the end?"

"Who is that? If you keep pretending to believe it, I'll pull out your beard!"

"Hey, don't be angry, don't be angry."

When Xiao Jiangran regained consciousness, he found himself back in the outer city. The dome of the imperial palace was magnificent and glittering in the sunlight.

But the outer city was much more prosperous and real than what he had seen before.

The plaque of the royal city is clean and hangs majestically above the city gate.

Is this the former royal city?

He didn't know how he finally got here through the flames. Although he was thinking about Shen Jin, he didn't lose his composure in the new environment.

Now everyone in the royal city is discussing one thing, which is the succession of the new king to the throne.

"That one is incredible!"

"She was once His Majesty's abandoned daughter, raised in the cold palace with difficulty, and only appeared in the public eye after she came of age."

"Guess what happened?"

"The priests delivered a divine oracle that the gods had chosen this abandoned girl as the crown princess to inherit the throne."

Xiao Jiangran subconsciously stopped in his tracks. The appearance of the priestess was most likely a clue to Shen Jin. After all, her role was that of the high priestess.

"With the support of the Temple, her throne is a sure thing. But why have I never heard of this Princess before today?"

The old man stroked his pale beard, looking like someone who knew the situation well. Now that the situation was settled, he naturally didn't need to remain silent. It was a good opportunity to show these younger generations his connections.

"Of course. The former crown prince is the eldest son and the legitimate heir, and his maternal family is powerful. He is also a wise and capable man, and has been groomed since childhood as the crown prince, with high hopes placed on him. How could the emperor abandon his son and hand the throne to an abandoned daughter just because of some vague oracle?"

"That's right, that's right. If it were me, I wouldn't agree either. Not to mention that this princess has no supporters in the court. Even with her knowledge, how can she compare to that of the prince?"

The more the man spoke, the more reasonable it seemed to him. But now His Majesty has announced to the world that he has officially established the princess as the crown prince, abolished the former crown prince, and sent him far away to Liangcheng. It is obvious that this is to pave the way for the princess.

He lowered his voice, as if he was trying to glimpse the secrets of the royal family: "But the former crown prince made some infuriating mistake, or maybe His Majesty is just getting old and confused..."

"Hey! What nonsense!"

The old man was so frightened by these words that he almost pulled out his beard.

"Let me ask you, who is the most powerful general in the current dynasty?"

“Who doesn’t know this?”

"Back then, because we lacked a great commander and capable generals, we were bullied by the surrounding small nations. If it weren't for the bold appearance of General Qi Guang, we would have been..."

"The best in the world is none other than General Qi Guang."

"But, what does this have to do with Her Royal Highness?"

"Do you know that General Qi Guang is none other than our Princess?"

"The oracle says that only Her Highness the Princess can save the empire from collapse and protect Daluo for eternity and eternal peace."

……

Xiao Jiangran had already walked away.

He climbed over the wall in a remote place, avoided the guards, and entered the palace.

He was going to meet the legendary Princess Royal.

If nothing unexpected happens, there should be traces of Shen Jin around her or her side.

Xiao Jiangran's exploration of the palace was 100% complete. The layout of the palace had not changed, the only new additions were patrolling soldiers armed with spears. He only needed to avoid them and there would be no problem.

He knew where the Prince's Mansion was, but something in his heart moved him, so he went to the temple first.

Perhaps, the princess should be there.

Just as Xiao Jiangran guessed, he waited for the legendary Princess at the exit of the temple.

And she is Shen Jin herself.

Her face was much younger, and between her eyebrows was a rare arrogance and recklessness. Her black eyes were also deep and dark, but slightly different from the Shen Jin he knew.

Her expression became even colder.

If Shen Jin's eyes were a gentle and cool night that accommodated everything, then the eyes of this Princess were an abyss that carried ice and snow.

But she is Shen Jin.

Xiao Jiangran was extremely sure of this.

That fire should be the channel connecting the two time and space.

This also explains Shen Jin's loss of consciousness in the flames. She has a past here.

Go to her side.

Xiao Jiangran made up his mind. No matter how glorious the heiress was, there would be many dangers around her.

The rumors about Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess that he had heard outside the palace rang in his ears again.

Now when I recall it again, it feels harsh.

"Only Her Highness the Princess can save the edifice from collapse and bring eternal peace to our Daluo."

But it is absolutely impossible for a dynasty to last for thousands of years just because of one person.

……

Shen Jin had already locked onto that person the moment her gaze appeared, thinking it was just another useless struggle by her good-for-nothing brother.

It’s just that these new-school people are a little bit stupid.

She couldn't seize the opportunity to assassinate and was not as powerful as the previous killers.

Could it be that her good elder brother has no one under his command, and only this person who doesn't know how to assassinate is left?

Her patience was limited, and she didn't want to play this kind of house game with him anymore.

At night, she returned to her own cold palace.

She didn't want to stay in a palace filled with the scent of other people, so she was supposed to move to the East Palace, but she still stayed in her own cold palace. Of course, it was now renamed "Qi Guang Palace."

"You all stand down."

Shen Jin raised her hand and waved away the people who followed her. If he still couldn't seize the opportunity, then don't blame her...

Shen Jin happily poured herself a cup of hot tea, providing him with the opportunity to poison her.

But when the tea was cold, the man still didn't show up.

Are you a coward and want me to go away?

Shen Jin showed mercy and pretended to leave.

Sure enough, the man finally showed up, holding a teacup in his hand.

tsk...

She felt a little bored.

Only by exposing him in public and seeing his expression as if he wanted to kill himself because his plan had failed but could only cover it up in embarrassment, could I satisfy my subtle interest.

That's what she used to do.

The dress reveals their weakness, and when their hope is greatest, they will be completely crushed.

Shen Jin's peripheral vision had already locked onto Xiao Jiangran.

Xiao Jiangran simply picked up the cold teacup, threw it into the corner and drained it, then poured a cup of hot tea for Shen Jinxin from the still warm teapot.

When I left, he was so thoughtful as to restore the teacup to its original state, exactly as it was.

Shen Jin: ...

Is this all you do?

Could it be that he is lowering my guard?

I'll tolerate you for a while.

Shen Jin seemed to find fun in it and never got tired of it.

Xiao Jiangran discovered that Shen Jin's ability to take care of herself had suddenly deteriorated significantly. Could it be because she was still young?

This included but was not limited to kicking off the covers at night to expose her smooth belly (to make it easier for him to stab her), falling asleep from exhaustion with her weapon on the table (to make it easier for him to fake her suicide), eating a few bites of food and then going off to do other things and not coming back for a long time (to make it easier for him to drug her), and often staying alone in the palace (to make it easier for him to attack).

……

It’s just that Xiao Jiangran is used to it.

After all, when he first met Shen Jin, she also had this abnormal habit. She is now, at least better than then, and she will not forget the most basic eating and sleeping.

Shen Jin revealed eight hundred flaws in one day, and Xiao Jiangran patiently helped her deal with the aftermath like an old nanny.

"Could it be that he really wasn't sent to assassinate me?"

Shen Jin thought about it and came up with another plan.
