Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Wan Ning sat quietly in the room, waiting for Jiang Li and Xue Fangfei to leave. Her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue, but she had other things to do. This body was like a rag, covered with hidden wounds, and she would never be able to bear children. In this era of supreme imperial power, she still needed to practice martial arts.

When she was sure that the two had gone far away, Wan Ning gently said to the maid, "Prepare the bath water." The maid responded respectfully and turned around to prepare it.

Wan Ning pulled a marrow cleansing pill from her bosom and placed it in her mouth. It melted in her mouth, and a refreshing sensation instantly spread throughout her body. She closed her eyes, feeling the pill's power coursing through her body.

After a while, Wan Ning's skin began to ooze black impurities. These impurities seemed to seep out of her pores, emitting an unpleasant odor. Wan Ning frowned, but she didn't stop. She continued to persevere.

As time went by, the black impurities became more and more, and Wan Ning's body began to tremble slightly. She gritted her teeth and tried to endure the pain.

Finally, the black impurities stopped coming out, and Wan Ning's body gradually returned to calm. She opened her eyes and looked at her skin, finding that it had become smoother and more delicate, as if it was glowing with new life.

Wan Ning sighed softly, her heart filled with joy and satisfaction. She knew that the Marrow Cleansing Pill had already helped her eliminate impurities from her body and reshape her meridians. Now she just needed to wash herself clean, change her clothes, eat the Manjushage, and practice the Yangzhou Slow Heart Method.

When the maid came in with the bath water, she opened her mouth in surprise at Wan Ning's transformation. Wan Ning smiled slightly and said, "Help me prepare it. I want to take a bath."

The maid nodded quickly and began to prepare everything for Wan Ning's bath. Wan Ning walked into the bathroom and soaked her body in the hot water, feeling the warm water caressing her skin.

After Wan Ning finished her bath, her maids immediately came forward and put on a pale blue dress. The color of the dress was as fresh and soft as the morning sky, and the hem was embroidered with delicate patterns, like blooming flowers. Wan Ning gently turned her body, and the dress fluttered with it, like a fairy descending to earth.

Next, the maids styled Wan Ning's hair into a shooting star bun. Their deft hands worked through her hair, smoothing it down until it was soft and silky, then twisted it into a high bun, resembling a shooting star streaking across the night sky. Atop the bun was a vibrant peony, its petals layered like a blazing flame, adding a touch of charm and elegance to Wan Ning's appearance.

Wan Ning stared at her makeup in the mirror, carefully examining her complexion. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes as bright as stars, and her lips curled slightly in a charming smile. She gently stroked the peony flower in her hair, feeling its softness and fragrance. When everything was done, she sent the maids away and asked Tong Lao to stay with her.

Tianshan Child-Fairy: "The princess's elixir is truly miraculous. She now looks at least 10 years younger. Her meridians are also very wide, making her very suitable for practicing martial arts..."

Wan Ning glanced at her and smiled, "The contents of the box can increase your power by 20 years. Go down!"

Tianshan Child-Fairy: "Yes!" After seeing her leave, Wan Ning took a red spider lily and practiced the Yangzhou Mantra. In an instant, she transformed the red spider lily's energy into her own internal strength. After consolidating it, she decided to visit the Xiao Mansion. So she asked the maid to guard the door, saying she was going to sleep for a while. Then she quietly left.

In the courtyard of the Xiao Mansion, General Xiao sat alone in front of a chessboard, intently considering his next move. The sunlight shone on him, outlining his resolute features.

Suddenly, he felt something strange, as if a pair of eyes were watching him. He raised his head alertly, glanced around sharply, and whispered, "Who?"

Across from him, a figure slowly emerged. Wan Ning sat there quietly, a faint smile on her face, her eyes clear and gentle.

General Xiao was slightly taken aback, then said, "Why is the princess here? I didn't know her martial arts were so advanced! She's truly a hidden talent..."

Wan Ning did not answer hastily. Instead, she gently picked up a chess piece, placed it on the chessboard, and said, "Grandpa Xiao, I'm here to play chess with you."

General Xiao said, "I dare not!"

Wan Ning asked, "Grandpa Xiao is angry with Wan Ning because of General Xiao's death? What if I say that General Xiao's death has nothing to do with Brother Cheng Wang?"

General Xiao: "Princess, are you joking?"

Wan Ning: "I'm not joking. I just don't want you and Xiao Heng to mistakenly identify the murderer and work for him..." Then she smiled and stood up...

General Xiao: "Princess, do you have any evidence..."

Wan Ning: "Of course, General Lu in the army, aren't you curious why he was the only one who was promoted the fastest after General Xiao's death? And the emperor's eunuch, he was once my father's confidant..."

General Xiao: "I will verify it..."

Wan Ning: "Yes, if what I said is true, I will become the future mistress of the Xiao Mansion. The military power of the Xiao family will be used by Brother Cheng Wang..."

General Xiao frowned. The princess had taken a fancy to his grandson. Wasn't it said that the princess had gone mad after returning from her diplomatic mission to Dai? It didn't seem so. He didn't mind the princess's past; on the contrary, he admired her efforts. However, he couldn't make the decision on his grandson's marriage. So he said, "It's true. The military power of the Xiao Mansion is used by King Cheng. As for my grandson's marriage, I can't make the decision..."

Wan Ning nodded and said, "Okay..." Then she turned and left, returning to the princess's residence. Just as she was about to change her clothes, the maid came to report that Master Shen wanted to see her. In order to avoid being exposed, Wan Ning decided to meet him first...

So she asked the maid to bring him in. When Shen Yurong saw the princess, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Princess, are you well?" Wan Ning smiled and said, "What should I do if Shen Lang is not well?"

Shen Yurong: "I have dealt with my wife as you requested. Princess, what else are you dissatisfied with?" Wan Ning stood up and smiled: "When did I tell you to kill her and frame her innocent..."

Shen Yurong: "Didn't the princess instruct the envoy's mother and sister to do it?"

Wan Ning was so angry that she laughed. She lifted his chin and said, "Do I need all these twists and turns if I want to die alone? Shen Yurong, don't push your thoughts and actions onto me~" Then she turned around and sat in the main seat and looked at him...

Shen Yurong stood up and said, "Wan Ning, you've gone too far..."

Wan Ning: "Who told you to stand up... and call me by my name... Get out!" Then she called the guards to drive Shen Yurong out.

Shen Yurong, driven out, returned to the Shen residence in a rage. Meanwhile, Xue Fangfei, now Jiang Li, engaged in a battle of wits with Madam Jiang. To instill guilt in Jiang's father, she deliberately played it safe. After dealing with her spies, she learned that Jiang Ruoyao's coming-of-age ceremony was coming up in a few days, so she decided to make it a grand occasion. She sent a message to the princess, asking her to help her.

After hearing this, Wan Ning asked the Tianshan Child-Granny to fetch the Imperial Observatory's Jian Zheng. When Liu Wencai arrived...

Wan Ning asked, "Does Liu Wencai want revenge? You once had a child, and she killed him with her own hands... If I can let you have her forever, can you do me a favor?"

Liu Wencai: "As long as the princess can do it, I will go through fire and water..."

Wan Ning: "Alright, I want you to reveal everything about your affair, how you wrongly accused Jiang Li, and how she murdered you, on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony at the Jiang residence..."

Liu Wencai fell silent. If they did this, they might become the rats crossing the street, or even be thrown into the Sky Prison and face the revenge of Prime Minister Jiang.

Wan Ning took one look and knew what he was thinking. So she said, "Don't worry, I'll give you a makeover. From now on, you two can live freely. But I want her to never come back... You know my methods..."

Liu Wencai: "Yes..."

As Wan Ning and Xue Fangfei had planned, chaos erupted in the Jiang residence on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony. Madam Jiang committed suicide out of shame and anger, while the adulterer also committed suicide out of devotion. Prime Minister Jiang had them thrown into a mass grave, but Wan Ning rescued them and gave them a makeover. Jiang Li's grievances were finally cleared, and upon hearing that Jiang Li had suffered injustice for ten years, the Emperor, following the Imperial Concubine's advice, granted her the title of County Lady.

Wan Ning heard that Xiao Heng had returned and was in the palace. So she took Tong Lao to the palace. Xiao Heng was reporting the progress of the illegal mining case to the emperor when he heard the princess arrive. The emperor pinched his forehead and said, "Let the princess in..."

As soon as Wan Ning entered the room, she said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Duke Su has returned..."

The Emperor: "What's the matter, Princess?"

Xiao Heng: "May the princess be safe and sound!"

Wan Ning: "I'm here to ask the Emperor for a marriage decree!"

The Emperor asked, "Which man has the eldest princess taken a fancy to?" Wan Ning smiled and said, "Isn't he here? Is it the Duke of Su?"

Xiao Heng: "Princess, you're joking..."

The Emperor: "Princess Wanning, please stop making trouble..."

Wan Ning paused, then said loudly, "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty, that you were able to sit on this throne because I went on a diplomatic mission to Dai Kingdom in your place, sacrificing everything and escaping death. Only then did you secure the throne..."

Emperor: "I know~"

Wan Ning: "It's good that Your Majesty knows. I've fallen in love with Duke Su, and I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish..."

Xiao Heng: "I don't want to..."

Wan Ning leaned close to his ear and said, "I will make you wish..." Then she left.
