The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

"Haha, you're too modest!" Xiao Jian said. "However, your swordsmanship still has some shortcomings, and you need to continue to work on it."

"Yes, I know!" Xiaoyanzi nodded and said seriously. "I will definitely work harder to practice martial arts and live up to your expectations!"

Xiao Jian was very pleased to see Xiao Yanzi's seriousness. He knew that Xiao Yanzi was a very talented girl and that as long as she worked hard, she would definitely become an excellent swordsman, but she wanted to learn everything.

"Okay, Xiaoyanzi, let's start!" Xiao Jian said.

"Okay!" replied Little Swallow.

So, Xiaoyanzi and Xiaojian started a new round of martial arts training. Their figures shuttled back and forth in the yard, the long swords in their hands flashing with cold light, as if telling their story.

When Qingyao came to Huibinlou to pick up Xiaoyanzi, they were practicing sword in the backyard. When Liu Hong heard that the girl was looking for Xiaoyanzi, she immediately remembered that Xiaoyanzi mentioned yesterday that someone wanted to take her to study, so she took Qingyao to the backyard without hesitation.

In the backyard, Xiaoyanzi and Xiaojian had just put away their swords and were about to take a break when they suddenly saw Liu Hong leading a strange girl towards them. Liu Hong smiled and said to Xiaoyanzi, "Xiaoyanzi, this girl said she's here to see you."

Xiaoyanzi looked at the girl in front of her curiously, still holding the sword in her hand. She stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Hello, I am Xiaoyanzi."

Qingyao politely responded, "Hello, I'm here to pick you up on the orders of Prince Yu. Our prince should have told you, right? Have you packed everything? If so, we can set off now, as Princess Ziwei should be arriving soon."

At this moment, Xiao Jian quickly took a step forward, bowed and said to Qingyao: "Miss, please stay. I am Xiao Yanzi's brother Xiao Jian. I have a very important matter that I want to see your prince. Could you please help me convey it and ask if the prince can see me?" His eyes were firm and sincere, as if this matter was of vital importance to him.

Qingyao dodged his greeting and said, "I can convey it for you, but whether His Majesty sees it or not is His Majesty's business."

Xiao Jian said gratefully: "Thank you, young lady. Please take this to the prince. When the prince sees it, he will know what I have done." As he spoke, he took out a document from his arms, which contained a copy of the evidence and handed it to Qingyao.

After Qingyao took the documents, she said to Xiaoyanzi, "Then let's go, girl. Don't keep the prince waiting anxiously." Xiaoyanzi hurriedly picked up her luggage and left with Qingyao.

Xiao Jian watched them leave, his heart filled with worry. He didn't know if Prince Yu would accept the case, nor did he know if he could successfully meet the prince. But no matter what, he would try his best.

Xiaoyanzi and Qingyao came to the school. Xiaoyanzi put her luggage aside and saw Ziwei coming. The two of them quickly packed themselves up and went to study seriously with everyone.

Meanwhile, when Qingyao returned to the palace, Qing'er was reviewing documents in the study. Seeing Qingyao come in, she stopped what she was doing and asked with a smile, "What's going on?"

Qingyao respectfully reported Xiao Jian's request for a meeting to Qing'er and presented her with the evidence. She carefully read the evidence, her expression gradually becoming solemn. She hadn't expected that after all these years, Xiao Jian still hadn't resolved the matter. It seemed there were still many corrupt officials among these officials.

Soon, Xiao Jian was brought into the palace. Qing'er looked at the original owner's husband in her previous life. He was indeed a very elegant man, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an imposing demeanor. No wonder the original owner, who had never seen many men in the harem for many years, fell in love with him at first sight. Oh, and there was also the halo of life-saving grace.

However, Xiao Jian looked at this Prince Yu, whom he had never seen before, and felt that he seemed familiar. His heart beat fast for a moment, making him a little overwhelmed. It was not until the butler next to him made a "cough cough" sound that he came to his senses.

Xiao Jian: "I, the humble commoner, pay my respects to His Majesty."

"Stand up. I have already seen the evidence you submitted. This matter does involve a wide range of people." Qing'er said seriously.

Xiao Jian knelt down and clasped his fists, "Your Highness, please help those innocent people!"

"I will investigate it thoroughly. However, why don't you report it to the authorities through normal channels, but come to me instead?" Qing'er looked at Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian raised his head, his eyes determined. "Because of the corruption in the officialdom and the mutual protection among officials, I have reported this case many times but to no avail. Only you, Your Highness, are fair and honest, and deeply loved by the people. I believe that only you can thoroughly investigate this case!"

Prince Yu nodded slightly. "Stand up. This matter belongs to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice. I cannot interfere in their affairs. However, I can hand it over to the Emperor. After all, this matter is not trivial and involves many officials, so it will take time. During this period, you must not act rashly."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xiao Jian stood up, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

"I will send someone to protect your safety to avoid retaliation." Qing'er said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xiao Jian bowed again.

"Well, you go back first." Qing'er waved her hand.

Xiao Jian turned and left, secretly swearing in his heart that he must avenge his father and seek justice for the dead people.

Qing'er looked at his departing figure, lost in thought. It was a pity that Xiao Jian, a man of both courage and wisdom, was only a knight.

"Someone come here." Qing'er called in a low voice.

"I'm here." A dark shadow appeared quietly.

"Follow him and see if anyone is against him. Also, check Xiao Jian's background," Qing'er ordered. The country has changed over the years since the original plot, and it's unknown if Xiao Jian has changed at all.

"Yes." The black shadow took the order and left.

Qing'er felt somewhat helpless when she saw the evidence Xiao Jian had given her. She had just been to the palace yesterday, and she hadn't expected to go again today. She should find someone to verify the credibility of the evidence before going again.

"Someone come here." Qing'er called again.

"I'm here." Another dark shadow appeared.

Qing'er handed him the item and said, "Go and verify whether the contents are true."

"Yes." After the black shadow disappeared, Qing'er mentally considered the current situation and walked over to the global map on the wall. This map was provided by Mianmian. Seeing that there were still many territories that had not been conquered, she felt a little anxious. She didn't want to be like A Zheng in history, who conquered the six kingdoms but died before the troubles were completely resolved. Although she was a fairy, this body was mortal. Time was limited, and she couldn't delay too much longer...
