Emperor Qianyuan laughed when he saw this scene. Shi Wanwan now looks more and more like her childhood, lively and cute.

A few years ago, she was schemed against by Schmeichen and lost the innocence that she should have at her age. Now she has finally walked out of the shadow cast by Schmeichen.

After a hundred years, he will be able to give Changping an explanation.

But after he finished laughing, he thought about what happened today and sighed deeply.

He is the king of a country, and he can know everything that happens in the capital as long as he wants to know.

He didn't care whether Shi Wanwan bribed Zhu Yin or not. He was more concerned about whether she would act stupidly like before.

Her performance today was remarkable and Emperor Qianyuan was very satisfied.

Emperor Qianyuan was not worried about her at this time, but about Crown Prince Zhao Zhongze...

Although Zhao Zhongze didn't say anything today, Emperor Qianyuan knew that he was fascinated by Shi Qingmei and his heart was still with her.

As the crown prince of a country, Zhao Zhongze was so biased and emotional, which really disappointed him.

However, as Zhao Zhongze was the eldest son of Emperor Qianyuan, Emperor Qianyuan had invested a lot of effort in him, so he was still willing to teach him more and give him some opportunities.

Xie Xuanzhi finally let go of Shi Wanwan after she was dragged out of the Imperial Garden. He glanced at her and said, "You are so brave! You actually dared to bargain with His Majesty."

Shi Wanwan smiled and said, "He's my uncle, so what if I bargained for him?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at him and said, "Your Highness must have known about what happened today a long time ago, but he kept it from me. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

By this time, she had completely come to her senses. Rather than saying that she was being plotted against by Shi Qingmei today, it would be better to say that she was a chess piece in the hands of Emperor Qianyuan.

Emperor Qianyuan and Xie Xuanzhi used her as bait to lure out those people with ulterior motives.

The water here was much deeper than she had imagined.

Her intuition told her that this matter was not over at this point, but had just begun.

She seemed to be involved in the controversy without realizing it.

Xie Xuanzhi said calmly, "What is the relationship between you and me? Do I need to be informed of everything?"

Shi Wanwan: “…”

She thought about it and it made sense. She and Xie Xuanzhi had a doctor-patient relationship at best. This kind of relationship didn't allow them to share any secrets or have any friendship.

She straightened her clothes and said, "I don't ask you to tell me anything, but considering that I risked my life to be your chess piece this time, could you be a little more polite?

Xie Xuanzhi opened his fan with a snap and said elegantly, "Okay, how can I be so polite, Princess?"

After spending some time with him, Shi Wanwan realized that this man only appeared gentle on the outside, but was actually cruel and ruthless in nature and was not someone to be trifled with.

She had noticed before that Emperor Qianyuan was very tolerant of him. She thought that he was about to die and that Emperor Qianyuan felt guilty about him, which was why he acted like that.

Only today did she realize that she was wrong. He was Emperor Qianyuan's man. He returned to the capital and waited for death while helping Emperor Qianyuan.

Although she didn't know what it was, her intuition told her that it was a serious matter and she'd better not get involved.

She actually couldn't bear his politeness.

She then said, "Don't hold my collar from now on. I can walk by myself."

After she finished speaking, she ignored him and turned away.

Xie Xuanzhi followed her and asked, "Are you angry?"

Shi Wanwan was really not angry. She was in a bad situation after traveling through time. She was always worried that she would be killed by the people in the Shi Mansion, and she was also afraid that she was worthless.

Today, Emperor Qianyuan taught her a very vivid lesson.

He was so rude to the Queen and the Crown Prince, so there was no need to expect him to have much affection for his niece.

His previous indifference to her was proof of this.

If she can stand on her own, he will give her the care she deserves and will give her some side of the story on unimportant matters.

If she couldn't stand up, he probably wouldn't even side with her.

Today's events were inherently dangerous. If she had reacted even a little slower, she would have been doomed.

Before this, he didn't even give her a reminder. Before she found him, he seemed to be unaware of this matter and was using her to fish.

She said calmly: "No, there are just some things I can't figure out."

Xie Xuanzhi asked, "Are you referring to the fact that His Majesty sent someone to monitor you?"

Shi Wanwan said thoughtfully, "I'm wondering how much he knows about me, and how much he can tolerate."

Xie Xuanzhi's eyes deepened: "As long as you don't act so suicidal in front of me, His Majesty will not take your life."

"He's busy with all sorts of things. You're just a silly little girl to him. He won't spend too much time on you."

"He doesn't care whether you lied today or not. What he cares about is whether you can clear yourself.

"You just accidentally stepped into a trap this time, and he used you as bait to close the net."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wanwan immediately understood what he meant: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your guidance."

The so-called imperial examination cheating case was under the control of Emperor Qianyuan from beginning to end.

Although the Dali Temple Minister is still investigating, Shi Wanwan already knows what the results will be.

She also wanted to understand one thing:

Emperor Qianyuan knew so much about her, but he didn't know the details of the bribery, nor did he know that she had won more than 80,000 taels of silver from the gambling house.

This means that he did not send spies to follow her the whole time, but that there were people from Emperor Qianyuan in the princess's mansion.

That person will report her affairs to Emperor Qianyuan regularly

Shi Wanwan was a little curious. Who was that person?

She was thinking about something as she walked slowly forward.

Xie Xuanzhi was right next to her. He saw her frowning and then relaxing, and he had no idea what she was thinking.

He could understand her reaction. No one could remain calm after something like this happened.

To be fair, she has done a good job today.

If she had reacted a little slower and given those people time to react, today's outcome might have been different.

Every time when he thought she had reached her limit, she would refresh his understanding of her again.

She was the funniest person he had ever met.

Soon the two arrived outside the palace gate.

Shen Yi was waiting outside. When he saw Shi Wanwan come out, he came over and asked, "Princess, are you okay?"

Although he didn't know what happened in the palace, several waves of ministers came and went outside the palace gate, and some people were dragged out.

Although he knew that the old monster was very powerful, he was also worried that something might happen to her.

Now that she was out safely, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "As expected of an old monster, she can get out of this unscathed, really amazing!"

Shi Wanwan said calmly, "What can I do?"

Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew over, and a piece of withered grass in the wind fell on her head. Shen Yi hurriedly took the grass down for her.

Xie Xuanzhi had already boarded the carriage. Seeing this scene, his eyes darkened slightly and he called out, "Princess."
