Chapter 213 The Envoy of the Western Night Kingdom

The court was immediately in an uproar, with people whispering and discussing the matter amongst themselves.

Gegen, with tears streaming down his face, said, "Princess, I don't know why I said such things, causing you such distress."

Zhu Luo frowned, but instead of going forward to comfort him, he carefully examined Gegen's expression.

A person's nature doesn't change in such a short period of time.

She said she would find out her identity and hoped that Gegen would keep it a secret until then, and that she would wait and see how things went. Based on her judgment of Gegen, she believed that he would definitely comply.

Therefore, there must be other reasons for deliberately revealing her identity today.

Is it still Shen Nianjiao?

The Imperial Censor, his face filled with astonishment, exclaimed in disbelief, "This woman is actually the princess of the Western Night Kingdom? This is simply unbelievable!"

The Minister of War was filled with unease, for he had already heard that it was his daughter who had exposed the princess's affair. But he could only force himself to remain calm and continue, "This matter is indeed quite strange. I implore Your Majesty to investigate it thoroughly."

At this moment, someone suddenly interjected, "Your Majesty, the Western Night Kingdom borders our border city, and the one responsible for guarding the border city is General Su, Shen Zhuluo's maternal grandfather. Could it be..." Before he could finish speaking, he caused a stir among the crowd.

Another minister quickly stepped forward to defend General Su, saying, "Alas, General Su is a great general guarding the borders of our dynasty, a pillar of the nation. It is because of him that the Great Liang Kingdom is safe and sound. In my humble opinion, General Su must be completely unaware of this matter."

For a time, opinions were divided in the imperial court, and various speculations arose one after another.

Finally, someone turned their gaze to Minister Shen and urged, "Minister Shen, you should be able to tell clearly whether this is your daughter or not. Please tell everyone what exactly happened."

Shen Jinxi was completely dumbfounded.

From the moment he realized that the daughter standing before him might not be his real daughter, Shen Zhuluo, his mind went out of control.

There was only one thing he was very clear about.

If this woman is confirmed to be a princess of the Western Night Kingdom, then wouldn't he have committed the serious crime of harboring an important member of the royal family of another country?

He trembled with fear, growing more and more terrified as he thought about it. He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly to the emperor, begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, I truly did not know. I always thought she was my own daughter."

The live stream chat room has exploded.

[This is amazing! Luo Luo was off-air for so long, and the first thing she did on her live stream was give a huge gift—the princess of Xiye Kingdom, and the future queen at that! That's incredible!]

[However, isn't it a bit strange that this has come to light? Qi Xinyue's reaction just now was like she was possessed. A normal person wouldn't expose someone in that kind of situation.]

[Exactly, and he even got himself involved; it's unbelievable.]

[And Guo Caiwei too. She's just a woman confined to the inner quarters, without any time-traveling abilities. How could she have investigated so thoroughly without being discovered by Luo Luo?]

[It's no use saying all this now. What should Luo Luo do? The Western Night Kingdom and the Great Liang Kingdom have a bad relationship, and recently the princess's brother became king. If Luo Luo is sent back, will she die?]

In the ancient imperial court, the emperor's face was gloomy, and he hesitated to issue an order.

The Minister of Rites slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, regardless of the truth, this matter concerns the relations between our two countries and should be handled with caution. As for whether this young lady is a princess of the Western Night Kingdom, I believe we should perhaps inquire further with King Li, as we might find new clues and evidence."

The emperor nodded slightly, then looked at his third son and asked, "Mingyan, do you have anything to add?"

Xiao Mingyan stepped forward and said respectfully, “Father, I do have something to say. When I found this woman on the battlefield, she was on the verge of death. Based on the items in her bundle, I determined that she was Shen Zhuluo, the eldest daughter of the Shen family. I saw Miss Shen in the palace six years ago and still remember her appearance. Six years has indeed changed things, but the basic features should still be there, so I never doubted her identity. Moreover, this woman is currently seriously injured and her memory is confused, so perhaps she is not intentionally deceiving everyone.”

After hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly and pondered.

Some questioned, "Could His Highness Prince Li have been deceived by this woman? Even if he was convinced it was Miss Shen at the time, didn't he notice anything amiss for so long afterward?"

Xiao Mingyan's eyes turned cold: "Why should I explain my actions to you!" He then coughed violently, frightening the minister into silence.

The emperor turned to Zhu Luo: "Then, Miss Shen, do you have something to say?"

Zhu Luo glanced casually at Crown Prince Xiao Jingchi and Prince Li Xiao Mingyan, then stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I was indeed rescued by the Prince's Northern Expeditionary Army on the battlefield. However, I was seriously injured at the time and my memory was also damaged, so I can't remember many things. And afterwards, the Prince became suspicious of me. Now that I think about it, it was the Prince's caution."

"After encountering the Shen family, my personal maid recognized me immediately, which made me believe without a doubt that I was Shen Zhuluo, the eldest daughter of the Shen family. In addition, I inherited the medical skills of my maternal grandmother, the divine physician Yao. This skill cannot be acquired in a day or two, so I no longer doubted my identity and was able to live in the Shen family with peace of mind."

One minister sighed, "Indeed, medical skills cannot be acquired in a day or two. My son was seriously wounded while serving in the Northern Expeditionary Army. According to the soldiers who returned with him, he was nearly killed. Later, thanks to Miss Shen's treatment, he returned alive and well, and his health has almost fully recovered. I have been thinking of going to thank Miss Shen, but before I could even pay my respects,..."

"Yes, my brother is also in the military camp. He said that this Miss Shen is very kind-hearted. Not only does she treat the soldiers' illnesses, but she also tries her best to get food. When Your Highness found Miss Shen, the military camp was severely lacking in food. If it weren't for her, the consequences would have been unimaginable. How could she not be Miss Shen?"

"Yes, why would the princess of Xiye Kingdom help the soldiers and people of our Great Liang Kingdom? We hope Your Majesty will investigate whether there are any errors involved."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingchi nodded repeatedly: "Your subject also believes that Miss Shen's actions have nothing to do with the foreign princess. Someone must have made a mistake."

Just then, a guard rushed into the hall and loudly reported, "Your Majesty! Urgent report from the front! The envoy from the Western Night Kingdom is currently outside the hall requesting an audience!"

"This sudden news was like a thunderbolt, instantly exploding in the hall, and everyone was in an uproar."

Originally, when everyone had almost accepted Shen Zhuluo's true identity, no one expected that the envoy from Xiye Kingdom would arrive unexpectedly at such a crucial moment. Suddenly, various questions arose in people's minds, and they whispered among themselves, discussing the matter.

Some people couldn't help but wonder, "The Western Night Kingdom has never had much contact with our Great Liang Kingdom. Why would they suddenly send an envoy this time? And why did they choose such a sensitive time? Could there be some hidden reason behind this?"

A tense and uncertain atmosphere permeated the entire hall. Everyone was filled with curiosity and unease, eager to know what would happen next.
