Practicing Qi to snatch a Yuanying for marriage? Do you think this is a female channel?

Zhou Yuren gently wiped the medicine stains from the corner of Nangong Yuntian's mouth: "She is still a child after all, and she has a soft personality. Although she is a bit stubborn, she doesn't have any bad intentions."

Nangong Yuntian put down the medicine bowl, his face somewhat gloomy.

Empress Zhou Yuren sighed helplessly, thinking she would return empty-handed, but then she heard Nangong Yuntian say: "Issue an order to withdraw the arrest warrant first, and send the Embroidered Uniform Guard to arrest him. We will then interrogate him after he is brought back."

Below, Eunuch Huang bowed in acceptance and left silently.

A smile bloomed on Zhou Yuren's face, making her even more gentle and graceful, and her lithe body softly leaned against Nangong Yuntian.

"Alright, Your Majesty, I still have state affairs to attend to. You may leave now!"

Having achieved his goal, Zhou Yuren praised Nangong Yuntian a few more times before leaving.

In the imperial city, Nangong Jinglan, whose appearance had changed, found an inn to stay in and was resting when he heard a commotion outside. Looking out the window, he saw that the wanted poster had been taken down and a new notice had been posted.

It was said that the group was attacked by a monster, which caused the Fifth Princess Nangong Jinglan to be separated from the escort team, and it was not because she disobeyed the imperial decree.

Gu Shenge was naturally aware of the situation in the outer sect, and sneered, "Such childish games, your emperor father, he must not be a very good emperor, right?"

Nangong Jinglan thought so too. In recent years, both the demon race and the barbarian race have shown a tendency to counterattack, and a lot of territory has been lost on the border, but the news has been suppressed.

"I can return to the palace now. Should I go back?" Nangong Jinglan asked.

“Go back, just call me when you’re about to kill someone,” Gu Shenge said.

Nangong Jinglan felt quite helpless. She felt that Gu Shenge was like a bloodthirsty demon who didn't care about right or wrong. He would kill anyone who didn't do what he wanted.

In the palace, Nangong Zhiyan had already returned. She had originally thought that Nangong Jinglan was doomed, but when she heard that her mother had actually pleaded for that little wretch, she immediately rushed to the Empress's palace.

"Queen Mother! Queen Mother!"

"Where are you?"

Zhou Yuren was inside the hall. He put down his teacup, his face dark and sullen: "Nangong Zhiyan! Where has the royal family's dignity and decorum gone?"

Nangong Zhiyan angrily approached Zhou Yuren, her face full of resentment: "Mother, why did you plead for that little bitch?"

Nangong Zhiyan's rage was not only due to her resentment towards Nangong Jinglan, but also because of the system's punishment. Last time, she was tortured by the system because she failed to harm Nangong Jinglan. Once you've experienced that kind of pain, you would never want to go through it a second time!
Zhou Yuren said calmly, "Nangong Zhiyan, you are both princesses, why do you have to compete to see who is better? Neither I nor your father have ever mistreated you. Your favor and honor far surpasses that of Jinglan. Why are you still not satisfied?"

Nangong Zhiyan looked at her mother blankly: "Mother, when Li Anlan was alive, how much humiliation and ridicule did you, the so-called Empress, suffer? We were also dragged down with her... Mother, don't you have even a little bit of resentment? Why do you always protect her!"

Zhou Yuren looked somber and called Nangong Zhiyan to his side, gently stroking the back of her hand.

"Zhiyan, the past is the past. I owe Li Anlan. I didn't care about your usual sarcastic remarks, but if you dare to lay a hand on her again, I will pretend I never had a daughter like you and will punish you severely."

Zhou Yuren spoke softly and sadly, but Nangong Zhiyan had no doubts.

"Mother! What if I said that I would die if I didn't kill her?" Nangong Zhiyan said emotionally.

"What nonsense are you talking about, child!" Zhou Yuren slapped her hand in an annoyance.

Nangong Zhiyan withdrew her hand: "Mother, I understand. I take my leave!"

Zhou Yuren warned Nangong Zhiyan, then said nothing more and gestured for her to leave.

Inside Nangong Zhiyan's body, the Seven Mysteries Ruler coldly said, "Host, you only have three chances to fail the mission. Once you've used them all, you will surely die!" "I know. When I see Nangong Jinglan, I will definitely find a way to kill her!"

"Host, Nangong Jinglan has returned and just arrived at the palace."

Nangong Zhiyan's eyes turned slightly cold: "Hmph! I'll go see right now how that bitch survived!"

Nangong Jinglan's palace was in a corner, very old, and the courtyard was small, almost like a cold palace.

After Nangong Jinglan returned, he immediately began cleaning and tidying up.

"Don't you have any maids or servants? How come you look so shabby?" Gu Shenge asked in confusion.

Nangong Jinglan said bitterly, "You've seen my status in the royal family. Even the palace maids who serve me are bullied and mistreated. So I let them leave. Anyway, the courtyard isn't big, and I can clean it up myself."

Gu Shenge watched her tidy up quickly and smiled, "Not bad, you've finished your business. Would you be interested in becoming my maid or servant?"

Nangong Jinglan was taken aback, and after a long while, she said, "Alright! If things go smoothly and my mother's revenge can be achieved, what's wrong with me being your maid?"

"Someone's coming. It's Nangong Zhiyan, and the system inside her. Be careful!"

Nangong Jinglan's expression turned slightly cold. After all, Nangong Zhiyan was her mortal enemy who wanted to kill her. If it weren't for the fact that she would have to investigate the truth of what happened back then in the palace later, she would have even wanted to kill Nangong Zhiyan right now.

Nangong Zhiyan walked in with her head held high, expecting to see a disheveled and half-dead Nangong Jinglan, but to her surprise, she saw a bright, capable, and radiant Nangong Jinglan.

Her injuries had all healed, and it seemed that she hadn't suffered any hidden wounds at all; she was in excellent condition.

"You... I didn't expect you to still be alive!" Nangong Zhiyan mocked.

Nangong Jinglan coldly replied, "Your Majesty is joking. You're not dead yet, so how could I possibly be?"

A fierce killing intent instantly erupted from Nangong Zhiyan's body. With the system's support, her cultivation even seemed to be on the verge of entering the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, resorting to violence in the palace was a major taboo, so she forcibly suppressed her indignation: "Nangong Jinglan, you wait here, I'll go and inform Father Emperor right away!"

Nangong Zhiyan left quickly and headed straight for the Lizheng Hall.

Nangong Yuntian was reviewing memorials when a guard from the outer gate came to announce that Nangong Zhiyan had arrived.

"Zhiyan? What's she doing here?"

"Let her in!"

As soon as Nangong Yuntian finished speaking, Nangong Zhiyan's shouts came from outside: "Father! Your subject wants to sue Nangong Jinglan! She's back!"

Nangong Yuntian's expression suddenly hardened: "Nangong Jinglan? Now that she's back, why doesn't she come to see me!"

Nangong Yuntian's temper flared up again: "Huang Cheng! You immediately take men and bring that rebellious daughter to me!"

Eunuch Huang readily agreed and immediately summoned his guards to go to Nangong Jinglan's palace.

Nangong Zhiyan finally smiled: "Father is wise!" (End of Chapter)
