Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Dongling Palace, Imperial Study.

After returning from Juyuan, although Chu Yuncang knew that Emperor Yingtian would only try to smooth things over, he still took Princess Fu'an into the palace and went straight to the imperial study.

The two men came to the imperial study, but found that the door was closed. Eunuch Deshun was standing at the door with his eyes slightly narrowed and a whisk in his hand, motionless.

Hearing the footsteps, Eunuch Deshun opened his eyes slightly. Seeing that it was Chu Yuncang and Princess Fu'an, he hurriedly bowed and said hesitantly, "Your Highnesses, please stay! The Emperor is busy and has ordered that no one should disturb him..."

Chu Yuncang paused, thinking that they had come at the wrong time. His father must be dealing with important matters, so he took Princess Fu'an and waited outside the imperial study.

But after waiting for an entire hour, there was still no movement from inside. Chu Yuncang was filled with suspicion. He quickly walked up to Eunuch Deshun and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, Eunuch, which minister is the emperor discussing state affairs with?"

Eunuch Deshun's face stiffened slightly. He glanced around before lowering his voice and saying, "To be honest, Your Highness, the Emperor is not attending to state affairs. Instead, he is cultivating the Dao with the Imperial Preceptor..."

"Enlightenment and cultivation?" Chu Yuncang frowned, his face puzzled. "Why do we need enlightenment and cultivation? When did we start practicing?"

Eunuch Deshun's eyes were filled with worry, and he sighed softly, "Ever since the Fourth Prince's incident, the Emperor has often lamented and has asked this old servant several times if he is truly old."

"About five or six days ago, the Emperor summoned the Imperial Preceptor. He looked at him for a long time, then suddenly dismissed everyone and had a private conversation with him for an hour or so. Starting the next day, the Imperial Preceptor would come to the Imperial Study in the afternoon to teach the Emperor about enlightenment and cultivation..."

Chu Yuncang's face was as gloomy as water. His father, as the ruler of a country, did not devote himself to governing the country diligently and caring for the people, but instead began to practice Taoism? Did he still want to achieve immortality and ascend to heaven?

Chu Yuncang stared at the tightly closed door, his eyes growing more angry. His father was becoming more and more confused and more like a tyrant. This was Dongling's great misfortune!

Eunuch Deshun bowed slightly to Chu Yuncang and whispered, "Your Highness, please wait a moment."

Chu Yuncang suppressed his anger, nodded slightly, and quickly returned to his seat.

Princess Fu'an saw Chu Yuncang's unhappy expression and asked softly, "Royal brother, what happened? Isn't father free today?"

Chu Yuncang shook his head gently and murmured, "Xuan'er, don't worry. My royal brother will help you get revenge!"

At this moment, a young eunuch hurried up to Chu Yuncang and whispered, "Your Highness, there's news from outside the palace that Liang Yanqi committed suicide shortly after you and Your Highness left. It's said that he left behind a suicide note, claiming he wanted revenge on Your Highness, and that he single-handedly orchestrated what happened today."

"The Princess has quietly returned to Shengjing City, carrying the bodies of Princess Roujia and Liang Yanqi."

Chu Yuncang nodded slightly, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he whispered, "Find a way to pass the news of Liang Yanqi's murder to Liang Su. Liang Su should be very eager to talk to the princess because of the death of his beloved son."

He paused and smiled teasingly, "Spread the news about Roujia and Liang Yanqi quietly, and the people of Shengjing will have something exciting to watch." The young eunuch took the order and left.

Princess Fu'an frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Royal brother, Liang Yanqi's suicide means that this matter is over? Do we still need to report it to our father?"

Chu Yuncang's eyes swept lightly towards Princess Fu'an. Although Princess Fu'an was one year older than Xie Qingli, her bright eyes still revealed a bit of innocence that was ignorant of the world.

He couldn't help but sigh slightly and whispered, "The Princess and Roujia bullied Xuan'er like this, don't you think they don't have to pay the price?"

"Liang Yanqi was just a scapegoat they pushed out to silence the witnesses. His death is not the end of the matter, but the beginning."

"Squeak~"

As Chu Yuncang finished speaking, the door to the imperial study slowly opened, and the Imperial Master, Taoist Lingxuan, walked out with his head held high. His face was resolute and deep, his eyes were as black as ink, and he was dressed in a loose green Taoist robe, which fluttered as he walked, giving him the appearance of an immortal.

Seeing Chu Yuncang, Taoist Lingxuan put on a faint smile on his face, but his eyelids twitched slightly. He nodded slightly at Chu Yuncang and said loudly: "Your Highness, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are well!"

Chu Yuncang's face was calm, but his eyes were full of indifference. He nodded slightly as a response to Taoist Lingxuan.

Taoist Lingxuan's expression did not change, and he strode away with a faint smile.

Princess Fu'an stared at Taoist Lingxuan's back and whispered, "Royal brother, when Xuan'er was a child, she saw the Imperial Master, and he looked exactly like this. Now Xuan'er has grown up, but the Imperial Master's appearance hasn't changed. Could it be that he really knows immortal magic?"

Chu Yuncang looked stern and snorted, "There is no such thing as immortal magic in this world. It's just a trick to be mysterious!" He paused and thought to himself that his father must have been deceived by the immortal body of this demon.

"Let's go, let's go in!" Chu Yuncang did not delay any longer and took Princess Fu'an into the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Emperor Yingtian was dressed in a white robe, his slightly gray hair was tied on top of his head with an ancient wooden hairpin, and there was no other decoration on his body. He looked like an old Taoist priest!

He was completely focused, staring at an exquisite brocade box on the imperial desk, and was completely unaware that someone had come in.

Chu Yuncang coughed lightly and called out in a gentle voice, "Father!"

Emperor Yingtian raised his head in panic. Seeing Chu Yuncang and Princess Fu'an, his eyes flickered slightly and he asked in a deep voice, "It's getting late. Why did you two come to see my father together?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and quickly placed the brocade box in the drawer. He then carefully closed the drawer, then looked up at the two of them and asked softly, "Xuan'er, was today's banquet interesting?"

Thinking of what happened at the banquet, Princess Fu'an pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes. She said aggrievedly, "Father, Xuan'er was so scared. Xuan'er almost never saw you again!"

Ever since the last complaint, Princess Fu'an suddenly realized that when she was young, her father was young and strong, and devoted himself to government affairs. He hated them crying the most, but now her father is old and his heart has softened, and tears are the most effective attack.

Then, Princess Fu'an's tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Emperor Yingtian was suddenly startled and said in a deep voice, "It's just a banquet. Xuan'er, stop talking nonsense! Tell me what happened!"

Princess Fu'an's eyes were red and crystal tears kept rolling down her cheeks. She choked and said, "Xuan'er, Xuan'er..." But after trying several times, she couldn't say any more and looked pitiful.

Princess Fu'an's tears seemed to drip into Emperor Yingtian's heart, causing him to breathe hard. His face instantly darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "Cang'er, you speak!"

Chu Yuncang spoke calmly and calmly, "Yes, Father. This morning, someone suddenly reported that the imperial guards escorting Xuan'er to the banquet were all killed along the way. Xuan'er is missing, so I hurriedly sent people to look for her. Fortunately, Xuan'er was playful and rode a detour to the banquet with her friends, thus escaping the disaster."

"When I arrived at Juyuan, Xuan'er had been knocked unconscious and thrown into a room. My aunt led a group of people to look for Xuan'er, but by then she had already been rescued. They only saw Roujia, Liang Yanqi, and a maid rushing out of the room in disheveled clothes..."
