Chapter 158: Chapter 142: The Princess Is Different Now

The Emperor is the most prestigious person in a country, while the Empress is the second most prestigious.

Who could be the person that compels both the most prestigious and the second most prestigious to come out and receive them together?

In other countries, it might be unclear, but in Yunyi Country, the only person who can make the Empress and Emperor do such a thing is the Princess.

However, speaking of this Princess, she is also remarkable. From a young age, she showed an astonishing talent, not only contending for the attention of the scholars in the Imperial College but also getting into Talent Hall, which never accepted women.

Although she was silent for a few years later, the Princess either does not act or surprises everyone when she does!

Take this time, for instance, when Yunyi was invaded by Dongwu at the border. The Princess, worried about the safety of the soldiers, braved opposition and went alone to the north to support them. Not only did she win the battle, but she also convinced the opponent to voluntarily offer a city!!

The Princess is truly incredible!!

Of course, none of the above was witnessed by the people growing eyes in the Imperial Palace, but rather it was news deliberately released by the Empress and Emperor.

That’s right, their daughter is so benevolent and cares for the nation and its people.

The Empress was the first to rush to her daughter’s side, worriedly examining her from head to toe. She found that although the Princess’s body was fine, there were noticeable scars in prominent places like her wrist and neck, causing her gaze to turn cold.

“Mother! You’re hurting me!”

A somewhat spoiled and slightly impatient voice reached the Empress’s ears, snapping her out of it. She hurriedly let go, abandoning her usual dignified air, her eyes filled with a bit of helplessness, “Er Ya…”

“Mother!” The Princess interrupted the Empress impatiently, “Don’t call some palace maid girl to serve at a time like this, and don’t call her Er Ya. It’s such an ugly name. You have no idea how these servants treated me on my way back! If it weren’t for Fu Xuan protecting me, I wouldn’t have made it back alive!”

The Princess initially spoke with great anger, but the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She had never endured such hardships since childhood. When she was alone outside before, she barely managed to appear well-behaved under Fu Xuan’s support. But after seeing the Empress, her true nature was entirely exposed, “Mother! I want to kill all of them! And their families too, kill them all!!”

The Emperor had just approached when he heard the Princess say such a thing, his body somewhat stiff. This was certainly not the daughter he had raised since childhood.

The Empress’s expression was equally unpleasant. Even though she had reached the pinnacle of womanhood in this era, when facing her daughter, she was just an ordinary mother. Seeing her daughter possessed by unknown forces and appearing so vicious, she nearly lost control of her anger.

Yet she couldn’t show it. If she alarmed the person in front of her, it wouldn’t be good for her daughter’s body.

While the Empress was calming her emotions, the Princess did not notice anything unusual about her “mother.” On the contrary, she grabbed the Empress’s hand and coquettishly rocked it, “Mother, please? You love me the most.”

Even though it was the same face, the different demeanor made it feel incredibly unfamiliar.

The Empress could clearly feel that this was not her clever and considerate daughter, but rather a tyrant abusing power.

She felt utterly repulsed and shook off the Princess’s hand, retching.

Nothing foul came up, just dry heaving, but the Emperor was incredibly pained. Being of one heart with his wife, he understood her feelings.

But the Princess did not understand.

She stared blankly at the Emperor not far away, “Father, what happened to Mother?”

The Emperor didn’t want to answer, but considering his daughter’s condition, he responded perfunctorily, “Your mother missed you too much, and the horse rode too fast when coming.”

The Princess, hearing this, didn’t dwell on it. She didn’t even pretend to show false concern for the Empress and turned to ask the Emperor, “Father, quickly help me kill them all!”

Her face was full of excitement, as if killing was a joyful matter.

The Emperor’s expression remained unchanged as he asked, “Do you remember who should be killed?”

“Everyone here except Fu Xuan deserves to die!!” After saying this, the Princess, afraid the Emperor would forget, repeated, “Father, their families didn’t educate them well, they’re also guilty!”

The Emperor’s eyes narrowed dangerously, but the Princess thought this was her father getting angry for her, finally having a sense of revenge. She cast a mocking smile at the army’s Commander.

The Emperor asked again, “Do you know how many people are here?”
