Time Travel: He is My Dad!

Like a shadow, the desire is rekindled

Princess Shen returned to her chambers, her heart pounding. Bai Yifeng's appearance seemed to drag her into an even more dangerous vortex. The Qingyun Chamber of Commerce's insinuations and Prince Zhao's ambitions intertwined, and everyone in the palace was racing for their own gain. And she had become a pawn in this power game.

She leaned against her dressing table, gazing intently at the cold, beautiful face in the mirror. Outwardly, she remained the aloof, cold, and ruthless princess, but deep within, something had quietly changed. No longer a weakling at the mercy of fate, she was now a dangerous woman navigating the abyss of power. With every step, she descended into a more unpredictable quagmire.

Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door. Princess Shen was slightly startled, and her eyes darkened. It was Eunuch Li's voice: "Princess, I have something to report."

"Come in." Princess Shen said without hesitation.

Eunuch Li pushed the door open and entered, bowing respectfully. "Princess, many people in the palace have become interested in your whereabouts, especially Prince Zhao's contact with the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce. Many people in the palace are already aware of this matter."

Princess Shen still sat quietly, her eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you mean?"

Princess Shen raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "The concerns of those people in the palace have nothing to do with me. As long as I can control my own destiny, nothing else is worth my concern."

Eunuch Li, however, was not completely appeased by her attitude and still seemed a little anxious. "Princess, you must understand that the power struggle within the palace is not as simple as you imagine. If the situation truly gets out of control, you will find yourself at the center of the storm, with everyone ready to pounce on you."

A cold glint flashed in Princess Shen's eyes. "So, Eunuch Li is reminding me to be wary of the alliance between Prince Zhao and the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce?"

Eunuch Li lowered his head and said nothing. Princess Shen's eyes suddenly fixed on him sharply. "I understand." She stood up, slowly walked to the window, and took a deep breath. "But I'm not afraid of a challenge. If they want to play, I'll play with them."

Her voice was calm and firm, as if she was announcing the start of a war.

Eunuch Li looked at Princess Shen's determined back and suddenly had a premonition. He said nothing more, simply bowed his head and said, "Princess Shen has a plan in mind. Eunuch Li will not say any more. I only hope that Princess Shen will be cautious."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Princess Shen said calmly.

Over the next few days, the atmosphere in the palace grew increasingly tense. Rumors of Princess Shen's relationship with Prince Zhao and the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce not only spread quietly within the palace but also became a topic of discussion among some high-ranking officials. Princess Shen was not only Prince Zhao's deposed concubine, she was also a woman with deep scheming, a powerful female force that could emerge from the depths of the palace.

Prince Zhao clearly noticed this, and his attitude became even more welcoming. Every movement and glance of Princess Shen's were under Prince Zhao's observation. Faced with this situation, Princess Shen remained calm on the surface, but in reality, she had already begun to secretly plan, waiting for the most opportune moment.

At this moment, Princess Shen received a mysterious letter. There was no mark on the envelope, just a piece of white paper with a line of words written on it: "Princess Shen, please read the contents of this letter."

She raised her brows slightly and unfolded the note. There was no long speech on the paper, only a simple line of words: "You and I are destined to meet tonight."

There was no signature, no hint. Princess Shen felt a flicker of alarm, but it quickly vanished. She knew that every letter and every word from the palace could not be ignored. She didn't dare make a decision lightly, so she decided to meet this mysterious "friend" in person.

At night, Princess Shen donned a dark blue gown and quietly left the palace. She didn't bring many followers with her, only a few trusted confidants, and quietly headed for the agreed location. This place was a quiet garden within the palace, where the surrounding trees and grass blocked the view, making it almost impossible to detect the arrival of outsiders.

She walked into the quiet garden, looking around. Suddenly, a dark figure appeared silently before her. The figure was dressed in black and wore a mask, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.

Princess Shen was slightly startled and stopped in her tracks alertly: "Who are you?"

The man smiled faintly: "Princess Shen, I have long heard of your great name. I am here to talk to you."

Princess Shen smiled coldly: "What do you want to say?"

The man didn't answer directly, but slowly took off his mask. Princess Shen's gaze instantly fixed on that face, a face she knew very well. This person was none other than Chu Heng, a former favorite of the palace!

"Why are you here?" Princess Shen almost blurted out.

A complicated light flashed in Chu Heng's eyes: "Princess, the situation in the palace has become more and more complicated. I came here to warn you."

Princess Shen was shocked: "Warn me?"

Princess Shen frowned slightly. She didn't answer immediately, but remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Are you worried that I'll be swallowed up by the combined forces of Prince Zhao and Qingyun Chamber of Commerce?"

Chu Heng didn't answer, but just looked at her deeply. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, as if there was something unspeakable hidden.

"You may not be able to control this situation yourself." Chu Heng said in a low voice, "And I am just trying to let you know that in every game in the palace, there will always be forces that you cannot predict manipulating behind the scenes."

Princess Shen narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice, "What if I don't listen to your warning?"

Chu Heng did not answer, his eyes still deep: "You will experience it yourself."

Princess Shen smiled slightly, her eyes full of challenge: "Okay, then I'll see who can control this situation."
