"He is hereby conferred the title of Marquis of Jingyun!" The Prince of Changping returned with a beaming face after seeing off the chief eunuch who delivered the imperial decree. "This is truly a joyous occasion!"

The entire princess's mansion erupted in jubilation, and the gloom of the master's divorce vanished.

Princess Changyun lost her previous dejection and brightened up. "Give the order: give everyone an extra two months' salary!"

"Mother, go and rest first. I gave you that little jade bottle. Put two drops from it onto the ointment every day."

Luo Jingqian gave special instructions, and then had the maids help Princess Changyun back to her room to recover properly.

As soon as the person left, the smile on his face disappeared.

"Uncle, what do you think the Emperor means?"

Since he was singled out as a target last month, he was lucky that neither he nor the Fourth Prince got into trouble.

With his parents' divorce, he became the young master of the princess's mansion, no longer the heir apparent.

What exactly was Emperor Chu Yuan's intention in doing this?

"Lord Jingyun, could it be that you were the one who infiltrated the Yun Kingdom back then, captured the king's younger brother, and rescued your father? But this reward comes a little late!"

The Prince of Changping's casual remark seemed even more reasonable.

Back then, everyone thought Luo Yuan was in grave danger, except for Princess Changyun.

Their eldest son, disregarding his illness, rode swiftly to the border.

It was the second branch of the Luo family that acted inhumanely, sending assassins to repeatedly try to kill them.

Fortunately, they thought that Luo Jingqian had become disabled after falling ill, and the assassins they sent were just ordinary martial artists. It was just that there were many of them, so he suffered some minor injuries.

The Prince of Changping hadn't forgotten the past incidents. "Luo Yuan got off easy. No, we can't let these things go like this. Make a copy of those testimonies and send it to our Duke of Dingguo. He wants to live a peaceful life with his second wife? Dream on!"

Over the years, Princess Changyun has never mentioned anything about her marriage; she has always maintained a very good image of their deep affection for each other.

If it weren't for the fact that Luo Jingqian was attacked and almost died ten months ago, Princess Changyun would still be deceiving herself.

They were brushed off by the Luo family back then, but this time it won't be so easy.

The entire Grand Princess's residence is delighted with this outcome.

As for the Luo family, their score still needs to be settled.

Luo Jingqian sighed and rubbed his forehead. Whenever his mother was involved, his uncle would become cautious and serious.

“Uncle, if my mother has let go of things here, then you shouldn’t keep bringing up that place. It’s best to just ignore it.”

The second branch of the Luo family thought that by expelling them from the first branch, the title of Duke of Dingguo would fall to them, but that was probably too early to believe.

"Fine, as long as they don't go too far, I won't bother with them."

While the Prince of Changping was saying this, he had already come up with a plan in his mind: the Luo family would never have peace.

"What does the Emperor mean now? Is his intention towards the Grand Princess's residence still unclear? This time, bestowing upon me the title of Marquis seems rather abrupt."

Today, when he met with the Emperor, Chu Yuan did not mention this matter.

On the contrary, he was more concerned about the matter of the carefree king.

"Oh, why bother with all that! Your grandfather's injuries are healing. Whatever his schemes and tricks may be, in the face of absolute power, even imperial authority must bow down!"

"If you are really worried, go back and take good care of your injuries for a month. I'll take care of your mother here!"

"Don't worry about the Luo family's affairs. Just focus on recovering from your injuries. Also, try to be nice to Miss Yang so that your grandmother won't worry too much."

The Prince of Changping spoke at length, showing his great curiosity about Han Cuiyin.

Because of her arrival, the entire Grand Princess's residence is undergoing subtle changes.

Luo Jingqian simply nodded without saying anything more, "I'm going to the Han residence!"

"That's right. We should go and support Miss Yang, lest those people act recklessly. You should go quickly, and when you get back to Qingshuang Mountain, you can mention it to her."

The Prince of Changping was known for his somewhat reckless and unruly nature. After saying this, he sent the man away.

He went to Princess Changyun's room and said, "Since things have come to this point, you should take good care of your injuries."

Princess Changyun nodded, her face expressionless.

“Logically speaking, they are all royal princesses. Look at them, riding horses, sightseeing, hunting, playing polo, and some even have a group of male concubines... Your family background is not as good as theirs, so why confine yourself to a small world?”

Royal princesses live a freer and more unrestrained life than princesses.

The princess was also forced to marry a foreign ruler, leaving her homeland behind.

Princess Changyun was surprised upon hearing this, "They actually play such fancy games?"

With the Prince of Changping making jokes, the brother and sister chatted happily.

As they chatted, the topic turned to Han Cuiyin.

"Hey girl, have you seen that Miss Yang before? I met her for the first time last night. I didn't expect such a young girl to have such great skills."

Princess Changyun already knows what happened last night.

"Miss Yang managed to rescue Prince Xiaoyao by setting up the formation, and then used her mother's connections to support her father. She is truly capable. I'm afraid Jingqian won't be able to win her favor, will he?"

"I don't think so! She's been so dedicated; she might still have her eye on Jingqian. Marrying such a capable woman would give you a strong backer."

Princess Changyun did not consider what Prince Changping said. "With you all here, there is no need for that. In the end, what happens to the two of them depends on what Fuguang Mountain wants."

Prince Changping is at the Innate Realm, but he only broke through a few days ago, so he is not at an advantage compared to others.

Geng Rui is still unconscious, Emperor Chu Yuan's intentions are unclear, and now he has severed ties with the Luo family.

With the upcoming appointment of an heir apparent, the current situation is uncertain.

Although he had never witnessed Han Cuiyin's strength, he was certain that it was extraordinary.

“Jingqian’s illness needs to be treated as soon as possible. Father can’t come out for a while. With him around, the Grand Princess’s residence will have a deterrent effect.”

Luo Jingqian, whom the two were thinking of, appeared at the Han residence at this moment.

Han Zhen was talking to Mo Changdao and Xu Tianyun in the study when he heard that Han Zhen had come to visit, so he had no choice but to invite him in.

"So you two seniors are here too!" After a simple bow, Luo Jingqian got straight to the point and explained his purpose: "Miss Yang is favored by my maternal grandmother and wants to stay with her at Qingshuang Mountain for a while. Lord Han, it would be best to keep her courtyard."

Han Cuiyin's position in the Han family is awkward. It's possible that while she's away, Tingfeng Xiaozhu will become someone else's.

As far as he knew, this courtyard was originally prepared by Princess Mingxia for her eldest son, Han Ziwen.

Luo Jingqian came over to give her a warning, just to support her.

"Lord Jingyun, you are overthinking it! There is no need to worry about Cuiyin. The Emperor has already decreed that she will be included in the Han family genealogy as soon as she returns, and that courtyard will be preserved for her indefinitely."

Han Zhen spoke politely and with a respectful expression.

“Yes, the decree was issued today, and the imperial edict for Miss Yang has already been sent to Qingshuang Mountain,” Mo Changdao also came forward to testify.

Luo Jingqian nodded, "That's good! It's getting late, I need to hurry back to Qingshuang Mountain, farewell!"

After everyone left, the study remained silent for a long time.

"Two Imperial Advisors, what is the actual situation of our Han family?"

Last night, everyone in the Han family had nightmares and were struck by lightning. The women, in particular, had headaches. Seeking help from ordinary supernatural beings was useless, so they had no choice but to ask these two for help.

"Another lightning punishment? Have you offended someone?" Mo Changdao was shocked. They had been invited here yesterday because of the nightmare, and it had only gotten worse overnight. "This is a very troublesome matter!"

Han Zhen lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought. "The punishment of lightning? We haven't offended anyone!"
