Green Princess was also somewhat puzzled by Mu Xin Nuan's attitude.

Her tightly clenched hands revealed the tension in her heart.

If you're not afraid of your true identity being exposed, why be nervous?

Of course, she could also say that she was angered by Mu Xin Nuan's words!

But was Princess Zhaoyang that kind of person?

"Chunyu, subdue her. I want to see if there's another face under that mask, or if it's just flesh and blood."

"Yes, ma'am."

Before Lü Ji could react, Chun Yu stepped forward and pressed her pressure points, rendering her completely immobile.

"No! You cannot do this. I am the Emperor's own sister, Mu Xin Nuan. How dare you insult me ​​like this?"

"Is that so? Since you are the real princess, I will naturally apologize to you afterwards. If you are not, then you must be prepared to face the Emperor's wrath!"

"How dare you! Get out of my way and stay away from me!" Green Princess shouted loudly, hoping to scare away Chunyu, who was getting closer and closer to her.

"Don't worry, once I confirm that you are indeed a princess, I will naturally grant you your freedom."

Chunyu slowly moved her hand closer to her face, and then to her neck.

At the same time, Chu Rong led a large number of imperial guards to conduct a thorough search of the princess's residence.

Instead of finding the person they were looking for, they unexpectedly found a large quantity of weapons and money!

This surprised Chu Rong slightly!

Chu Rong was unaware that Princess Zhaoyang was an imposter. The Emperor had only secretly ordered him to search the mansion, telling him to be careful of everyone in the mansion, but he hadn't mentioned that a large number of weapons were hidden there.

After the weapons were loaded onto the vehicles, Chu Rong estimated that they were enough for five thousand people.

After Chu Rong had searched the secret room thoroughly and found nothing else, he was about to leave when, with his excellent hearing, he seemed to hear a cry for help.

Chu Rong began pacing around to check, then ordered his men to search the area for any other clues or information.

Soon, Chu Rong found a knob, turned it halfway, and a stone door opened, revealing a person lying inside.

Chu Rong was shocked. Only after the guards repeatedly confirmed that it was safe to enter did they accompany Chu Rong inside.

Chu Rong carefully turned the person on the ground over, but unfortunately, the person's face was too dirty to recognize for a moment.

Looking closer, his eyes were tightly closed, his lips were cracked, and he was as thin as a rake.

Chu Rong instructed people to prepare hot water and then quickly prepare some hot porridge.

Meanwhile, Chu Rong had someone prepare a wet cloth, and finally managed to wipe the man's face clean.

Upon closer inspection, it was astonishing that this woman bore a striking resemblance to Princess Zhaoyang!

If it weren't for her extremely thin figure, she would clearly resemble Princess Zhaoyang in her current form.

Chu Rong then realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly carried the person out of the secret room and onto the carriage. "Quickly, go to the palace to see the Emperor."

As Chu Rong carefully carried Princess Zhaoyang into the palace, the Emperor also received the news and quickly left the Qin Zheng Hall.

Princess Zhaoyang had now fully regained consciousness. "Are you General Chu?"

"Your Highness, it is indeed your humble servant. Rest assured, you are now safe. I will take you to see the Emperor immediately."

Princess Zhaoyang smiled faintly and said weakly, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died in that secret room today."

"Your Highness is too kind. Please rest for a while; His Majesty is waiting for you."

Princess Zhaoyang was carried into a side hall of Chengqian Palace, where she was then specially served a bath and changed clothes. After eating two small bowls of millet porridge, she finally had some strength to speak.

"Royal elder sister, what exactly happened? How did you end up being confined to your own residence?"

Princess Zhaoyang shook her head. "I had no idea that there was a secret room in my residence."

"Does the princess know who imprisoned you there?"

Princess Zhaoyang glanced at Chu Rong, her expression complicated. "It's Lü Ji. She had a child with the prince consort back then, but I forced her to take an abortion drug. She harbors resentment towards me, and it seems she later sought refuge with someone and has been secretly plotting against me ever since."

"Green Princess?"

Duanmu Chuze frowned slightly, realizing it must have been a very long time ago, and he knew nothing about it.

"Elder sister, how are you feeling now?"

Zhao Yang nodded. "Much better."

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived."

Duanmu Chuze immediately summoned someone to take Zhaoyang's pulse. After everything was settled, he let her rest there for the time being.

"Even my elder sister doesn't know much about that woman's background. It seems the key lies with A-Nuan."

Chu Rong nodded. "Your Majesty need not worry. The Empress is exceptionally intelligent and will surely find a way to extract information from her."

Sure enough, Mu Xin Nuan soon sent Aunt Fang over, saying that she wanted to invite the Emperor over.

Duanmu Chuze hesitated for a moment, then said, "Chu Rong, let's go together."

Chu Rong was taken aback for a moment, knowing that this was the Emperor's trust in him, and followed with a smile.

When the Emperor arrived and sat down on the dragon throne, he firmly grasped Mu Xin Nuan's hand before looking down at the palace.

This was quite a surprise; Princess Zhaoyang, who had originally been wearing her imperial court attire, now had a completely different face.

That face was completely unfamiliar to everyone, except for Consort Luo, whose first words after the initial shock were, "Green Maiden?"

Hearing the voice, the woman who had been forcibly pressed to the ground stiffened slightly. She looked up at the man and suddenly gave a bitter smile. "After so many years, I never thought that the Prince Consort would still remember Lü Ji. Lü Ji is truly blessed."

"You? Weren't you dead? When I returned to our home, it was in complete disarray. The steward there said that the princess had given you an abortifacient, and you died from excessive bleeding after the miscarriage. But how could you be?"

"I almost died back then. If I hadn't met my benefactor, I probably would have died with regrets. If it weren't for Princess Zhaoyang, I wouldn't be where I am today!"

"You? Green Princess, where have you been all these years? Who have you been with? Why are you disguising yourself as a princess? And now that you're disguised as Zhao Yang, where is the princess? Where did she go?"

A flash of hatred crossed Green Princess's eyes. "What? Is Prince Consort Luo still hung up on that vicious woman?"

"How dare you!" Duanmu Chuze, sitting on the dragon throne, naturally did not want to hear anyone talking about his sister like that.

Prince Consort Luo was also taken aback. "Lu Ji, no matter what, what happened back then is in the past. Since you are not dead, you should live your life well. Why do you have to make things difficult for the princess again?"
