After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

As long as he can make the list, Her Highness will expose this matter!

He wants to get up and study.

The Spring Examination is coming soon, and he can't lie in bed anymore!

Gu Mingzhe's act startled everyone. In the end, Prime Minister Gu intervened and said bluntly, "Just lie down. I'll go get your teacher to come over and give you a lesson, okay?"

Gu Mingzhe finally lay back down and replied gratefully, "Thank you, father!"

Minister Gu felt a pang of fear in his heart. All his worrying was in vain, but it was no match for a letter from Princess Zhaohua!

Forget it, children are all debts!

What else could he do except go along?

I've beaten him and scolded him, but he just won't change!

Hey......

So, Gu Mingzhe began his study career while still sick in bed!

Until the eve of the Spring Examination!

.......

After wasting nearly two days, Zhong Ning was in a state of self-emo. Perhaps because she thought of the unreachable mountain in her heart, she felt much calmer at this moment.

After all, she is still too weak.

If she had enough strength, she could at least interfere with this matter forcefully. What she needs now is to increase her strength.

At least it has to be a strength that even Emperor Yong cannot underestimate.

The spiritual power absorbed from the two spiritual jade pendants is still stored in the dantian and has not been converted. Now is the time to make progress.

When her martial arts skills reach a level that all high-level martial artists can only look up to, it will naturally be easier for her to accomplish things.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning sat cross-legged and started practicing the vitality conversion technique.

Countless white and clear spiritual powers circulated along her skills, transformed into powerful internal force, and seeped into every nerve ending in her body.

Four days passed in a flash!

Fortunately, Zhong Ning had already ordered her to meditate in seclusion, otherwise she would have been disturbed again and again by outside visitors.

There seemed to be five waves of visitors during this period, all of whom were turned away by the princess's mansion.

Among them, there were many court officials who came to ask Zhong Ning for leniency. Although the current emperor had successfully suppressed the case, if Princess Zhaohua was concerned, it was not impossible that she would want to expose everyone's facade.

Most importantly, they are afraid.

Princess Zhaohua is a martial arts expert and can crush them with just a flick of her finger. If she really doesn't want to let them go, then what future do they have?

A few people do so, but most people are still waiting and watching.

Rather than Princess Zhaohua, they wanted to know how Prince An's Mansion would respond.

After all, his Prince An's Mansion was the real culprit behind this incident.

However, they were disappointed. The Prince An's Mansion did not respond to this matter. It was said that it was because Prince An's son Murong Chen was injured, and Prince An was anxious to find a famous doctor to treat him, so he could not take care of Princess Zhaohua's matter for the time being.

Besides, this case has already been suppressed by His Majesty, and Prince An has paid a heavy price...

Of course, these are all speculations made by these people behind the scenes.

But Prince An was not as magnanimous as they said.

Princess Zhaohua wanted to overturn his entire palace, bring him down and destroy his reputation.

Prince An had already secretly summoned his secret guards hidden in the mountains, intending to choose an auspicious day to send Princess Zhaohua on her journey.

He sent people to keep a close eye on the movements of the princess's mansion. Upon learning that the leader of the Black Dragon Guard, Si Qiyu, was once again sent out of the capital by His Majesty to perform tasks, Prince An finally made up his mind to destroy the entire princess's mansion before Qiyu returned.

She's just an illegitimate daughter!

How could the emperor brother be so petty with him about this?

You must know that behind him stands the common will of countless aristocratic families. If the emperor really insists on punishing him for the sake of an illegitimate daughter, let him see what it means to have an unstable and turbulent country.

Prince An sneered and nodded with satisfaction at the assassins kneeling in the yard in an orderly and solemn manner.

He had heard that Princess Zhaohua was a martial arts expert, but his assassins were no pushovers either. He specially mobilized fifty of his best fighters and sneaked into the princess's mansion at night. It was considered a bargain for her to spare Murong Ning's life.

"Go! I'm waiting to celebrate your success!"

At Prince An's command, fifty assassins instantly turned into a dark shadow in the night and headed towards Princess Zhaohua's mansion.

At this time, Zhong Ning was still in seclusion.

If she knew a little about inner vision at this time, she should be able to see that the bones in her body had become semi-jade and crystal-clear due to her continuous transformation with the skills.

The various organs and internal organs of the body also become more vibrant under the nourishment of spiritual power.

The entire room was filled with fluctuations of spiritual energy, and in this endless transformation, with a slight click, Zhong Ning's martial arts realm successfully broke through the ninth level and officially stepped into the half-step grandmaster stage.

In the entire world, only Beidi has a ninth-grade warrior hiding in the mountains. In the world, those who pursue martial arts are already gifted if they can reach the seventh grade, those who can reach the eighth grade are the best among men, and those who can reach the ninth grade are the only one in the world.

Therefore, it is a great blessing that Zhong Ning can break through to the ninth level with the help of spiritual power this time!

Because right now, in the entire Dayong, no one can be her opponent.

To achieve this feat, she had only converted half of her spiritual power!

As expected, the vitality absorbed from the spiritual weapon was more refined. Only half of this spiritual power was equivalent to the results of her hard work for half a month in the mountains of Zhenguo Temple.

To cultivate this skill to such a high level, I am afraid that it will become increasingly difficult as time goes on.

After successfully breaking through the realm, it was time to consolidate. Zhong Ning was about to continue to strengthen his power when suddenly, the tip of his ear moved slightly and tiny voices came from all directions.

After the realm breakthrough, her five senses were successfully enhanced. Before the assassins approached the princess's residence, she could already feel the solemnity and silence in the air!

Zhong Ning rushed out of the room like a whirlwind, tiptoed to atop the roof, and with the blessing of his inner strength, shouted sternly: "Everyone in the Princess's Mansion, listen to my command. From now on, all of you go to your rooms, turn off the lights and rest, and do not come out. If you disobey, you will bear the consequences!"

The voice carried internal force and instantly spread to every corner of the mansion.

All the servants went into the room on their own accord when they heard the princess' call.

Because the princess's mansion had been attacked by men in black before, and the Black Dragon Guards suddenly appeared in the mansion at that time, so the damage was not great, but it still caused them a lot of psychological trauma.

If the treatment in the princess's mansion wasn't so good, some of them would even want to transfer to other places.

And ever since that incident, they have known that Her Royal Highness the Princess has extraordinary martial arts skills and that novices like them who don't know martial arts can help her.

His Highness must have given such an order now because he sensed an unusual aura. If they can avoid causing more trouble, they are already helping.

On the Imperial Guard side, two lieutenants looked at Jing Wuchang with a worried look on their faces. "Commander Jing, the princess wants everyone to go inside, turn off the lights and rest. Does that include us?"

Jing Wuchang gazed at the slightly messy shadows of the trees in the night sky, and finally sighed imperceptibly: "Let everyone go in... Since His Highness said so, he must have a plan!"

"But let's all go and rest. What if there's a disturbance in the mansion, or someone suddenly attacks? What should we do?"
