"How could that be? Ying Yufu is a lucky star for the world!"

The queen screamed in shock.

Her eyes widened as she stared at Ying Yufu, her expression a mixture of regret and hatred.

The second prince stared blankly at Ying Yufu, who was his lucky star and had once been his princess consort.

He, on the other hand, had once pushed her away, pushing her towards the Crown Prince.

Emperor Beixuan was very proud. He glanced at the envoys from the other three kingdoms and saw that their expressions were more interesting than the last, which made him secretly pleased.

The abbot of Baiyu Temple looked at them calmly and said, "A monk does not lie."

The Empress's eyes were filled with resentment. "Even so, so what? Don't forget, the Crown Prince has half foreign blood. He is not simply of Northern Xuan blood."

The ministers kept their eyes down, and none of them responded to the Empress's words.

However, the Thousand Feather Army had already surrounded them.

Just then, a sharp, high-pitched shout rang out from outside.

"You filthy lackeys, how dare you stop me! I am Princess Mingluan!"

The group of Thousand Feather Army soldiers outside remained expressionless and motionless.

Princess Mingluan made a huge scene, screaming, cursing, kicking, and slapping.

Upon hearing this, the Empress's expression changed.

The second prince, however, remained indifferent.

Emperor Cangxuan raised his eyes, a chilling killing intent flashing in them, and said in a deep voice, "Let her in."

The Empress has completely changed.

"Your Majesty, Mingluan is still young, she's just a child! Your Majesty, please spare her! I beg you, spare her!"

The empress pleaded in terror.

Emperor Cangxuan didn't even glance at her. He coldly looked towards the front of the hall, where Mingluan stormed in aggressively.

"Father, why did you order the Thousand Feather Army to stop me? Is it because I've been disfigured that you feel I've brought shame upon you?"

Mingluan, filled with grievances, strode over while loudly questioning him.

Emperor Cangxuan looked at her with a cold expression.

Mingluan finally realized that something was wrong in the main hall. She first noticed that the Empress was not by the side of Emperor Cangxuan.

With her remaining eye, she glanced around and saw that her mother and second brother were being held down by Qian Yufu.

Not only that, even her maternal grandmother, Duan, was being held captive by Qian Yufu.

What exactly is going on?

"Father, what's going on? Please release Mother and Second Brother! What wrong have they done? Why are you treating them like this?"

Emperor Cangxuan said coldly, "What mistake did they make? Why don't you ask them yourself?"

Mingluan's eyes were filled with grief and indignation. "I know, it must be because the Crown Prince stole the limelight from my second brother's trip to Yuzhou."

Father, even so, you should not have treated my second brother the same way, and you should not have implicated Mother.

My second brother has already injured his leg. Not only did you not find a renowned doctor to treat him, but you also had him imprisoned. You are truly too biased.”

The Empress's eyes widened in horror. Mingluan had publicly accused Emperor Cangxuan of favoritism.

The second prince remained indifferent.

Nothing can be hidden from the Emperor; the Emperor knows everything. Therefore, the things Mingluan did in Yuzhou could not be hidden from the Emperor's eyes and ears either.

Using someone else to do the dirty work, the people they want to kill are still the Crown Prince and Ying Yufu. Mingluan... is probably finished too.

He looked up at Mingluan and saw that she was wearing a red-gold palace dress, a four-phoenix gold hairpin in her hair, and a thick veil covering her face. Her right eye was covered by a large patch of hair, leaving only one eye visible.

This outfit is exactly the same as Minghuang's.

"You say I'm biased?" Emperor Cangxuan asked in a deep voice.

"Father, are you not biased? Just because I am disfigured and blind in one eye, you have the Thousand Feather Army blocking me from entering the palace. But why is Minghuang allowed to enter?"

Both were disfigured, so why was Minghuang allowed to enter the palace? And you still say this isn't favoritism?

With a stubborn and gloomy look in her eyes, Mingluan became increasingly eccentric after being disfigured and losing an eye. She even questioned Emperor Cangxuan regardless of the occasion.

Emperor Cangxuan stared at her, as if he were seeing this daughter for the first time, and the more he looked at her, the more unfamiliar she seemed.

"I ask you, when you were in Yuzhou, did you use the Chrysanthemum Temple to offer sacrifices to the Crown Prince and Anguo?"

"what?"

These words shocked the assembled officials.

A pair of incredulous eyes looked at Mingluan.

Mingluan's eyes flickered guiltily; she hadn't expected her father to know.

Since that's the case, what's the point of knowing?

She raised her head with a righteous air and said, "Father, the Crown Prince was destined to die young. What I did was for the sake of the people of Yuzhou."

"I'm sacrificing my elder brother, the Crown Prince, for the sake of Yuzhou's prosperity and good weather. I'm doing this for the people."

These words were shocking and astonishing. Not only were the officials of Beixuan stunned, but even the envoys from the Three Kingdoms were dumbfounded.

"Good, good indeed, for the people of Yuzhou!"

After a brief moment of speechlessness, Emperor Cangxuan turned deathly pale with anger.

"I originally considered the blood ties and kept you out, but I never expected you to be so disregardful of family ties and so cold-hearted."

A murderous intent flashed in Emperor Cangxuan's eyes.

"Father, you say I'm cold-hearted? It's clearly you who's biased. You only have eyes for Minghuang. You've loved Minghuang since she was little, and even after she was disfigured, you still loved her. Don't think I don't know!"

Mingluan screamed.

"So you set my face on fire?" Minghuang asked coldly.

Mingluan was startled and looked abruptly at Minghuang, exclaiming, "How could you...?"

"How would I know?" Minghuang's eyes were icy. "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place!"

"So what? I was only three years old then, and I didn't start the fire on purpose."

"Minghuang, you're just a princess who lost her mother. What makes you think you can compare to me? I'm the Empress's daughter! Why does Father only dote on you?"

Minghuang looked coldly at Mingluan, "You're hopeless."

The officials of Beixuan also looked at Mingluan with disgust. He truly lived up to his reputation as a descendant of the remnants of the previous dynasty, devoid of any human ethics or kinship, and was a traitor.

Mingluan looked at Minghuang with a hint of resentment in her eyes, "If you're so capable, take off your veil."

"Let Father and everyone see your hideous face! Let them know what kind of thing Father has been doting on all these years!"

hiss!

The courtiers gasped in shock.

Has Princess Mingluan gone mad?

Mingluan was completely oblivious to the incredulity of the courtiers; her eyes were already bloodshot.

"We were both disfigured, yet Father allowed you to enter the palace for the banquet while keeping me outside, hahahaha..."

Minghuang looked at her coldly, "Mingluan, do you really want me to take off my veil?"

"Go ahead and pick it, show us your monster-like face!"

Minghuang's eyes grew colder and colder. She raised her hand and decisively removed the veil from her face.

At that moment, time seemed to slow down, and everyone turned their faces away, unwilling to see Princess Minghuang in such a disheveled state.

However, the moment the face mask hit the ground, a stunningly beautiful and perfect face was revealed.

All the officials of Beixuan bowed their heads.

The envoys from the three kingdoms widened their eyes in an instant.

The Left Chancellor of Dongchen suddenly stood up in surprise, exclaiming, "Your Majesty the Empress!"

This address of "Empress" is naturally not the same as the address of "Empress" to Bei Xuan.

Instead, it was Empress Nangong of Dongchen.

Pei Shiliang was also shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Previously, they only suspected that the crown prince was the child of the lost princess.

But upon seeing Minghuang's face, they were absolutely certain of their identities.

All their scheming and plotting to sever the Nangong family's bloodline was in vain. Now, Pei Shiliang felt that reality had ruthlessly slapped them in the face.

Not only are there surviving descendants of the Nangong family, but the other party is also the Crown Prince and Princess of Beixuan.

Pei Shiliang struggled to suppress his murderous intent, preventing it from being fully revealed.

But Bei Xuan is so powerful now.

At least within the territory of Beixuan, he cannot touch the Crown Prince of Beixuan.

"Your face!"

Mingluan let out an incredulous scream. She was so excited that her voice cracked and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"How is this possible? How could your face be healed? Your face was clearly burned; you're a monster, so why would your face recover?"

Mingluan screamed almost maniacally.

She lunged at Minghuang, but was stopped by Qianyu Army.

Minghuang looked down at her coldly, "Naturally, it's because I met someone who can heal my face, while you will never be healed."

"Impossible, this can't be, it must be fake, you've disguised yourself, haven't you?"

Mingluan was in a state of frenzy.

"Think what you want," Minghuang said coldly.

The Empress also stared at Minghuang's face, "Your face, your face looks so much like Hai Qiongzhang's, so much like him! Your face has really recovered. No wonder you attended the banquet, no wonder..."

Mingluan looked at the Empress, "Mother, what did you say? Her face... is it real?"

The Empress stared at Minghuang's face with a mixture of disgust and jealousy.

Mingluan realized something, and she suddenly became extremely agitated. She cried out loudly, "Royal sister, Royal sister Minghuang, tell me, who healed your face?"

If she can heal your face, can she heal mine too?

I beg you, tell me, who healed you?

Minghuang sneered, "You really want to know?"

Mingluan looked at Minghuang with pleading eyes and nodded frantically.

"It's Fu'er, it's Ying Yufu," Minghuang said.

Ying Yufu nodded: "That's right, it's me."

Mingluan looked at Ying Yufu.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Why is it Ying Yufu?

How come it's Ying Yufu?

She has completely offended Ying Yufu!

The officials of Beixuan also realized that Princess Minghuang's face had actually been completely restored.

They stared intently at Ying Yufu, and someone said, "Could Princess Anguo really be a goddess?"

"Yes, His Majesty searched the world for the most famous doctors but could not cure Princess Minghuang's face. Unexpectedly, it was Princess Anguo who cured her."

"Princess Anguo is truly a goddess!"

The ministers of Beixuan looked at Ying Yufu with intensely burning eyes.

Ying Yufu was once again suspected of being the goddess, which made her slightly embarrassed.

Just then, the Grand Preceptor of Xilin suddenly spoke up, saying, "I have heard that General Shangguan once had one of his arms cut off by my Xilin Border Garrison General, but now, both of General Shangguan's arms are intact."

I heard that General Yu Li delivered the miraculous medicine to the border in time. Could it be that this miraculous medicine also came from Princess Anguo?

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone looked at Ying Yufu in disbelief.

Could it be that Princess Anguo of Beixuan truly possesses the ability to regenerate severed limbs?

In that case, wouldn't she be a true goddess?

Whether it was Xilin, Dongchen, or Nanman, they all looked at Ying Yufu with inscrutable eyes.

Ying Yufu looked at the Grand Preceptor of Xilin, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

She said frankly, "That's right. But the divine medicine is limited, and I obtained it by chance."

A collective gasp filled the hall.

It's actually true!

The Imperial Preceptor of Xilin said, "Does this mean that Princess Anguo also possesses the ability to bring the dead back to life and achieve immortality?"

Ying Yufu sneered, looked at the Western Lin National Preceptor, and said, "No."

"If Princess Anguo says no, I'm afraid others won't believe it." The Grand Preceptor of Xilin stared at Ying Yufu and pressed her for an answer.

Ying Yufu said, "Whether others believe it or not is not up to me. However, I can bring bad luck to people, from tripping and falling while walking to falling to their death. Does the Grand Preceptor of Xilin believe it or not?"

"Host, well said! If he dares to threaten you, then you threaten him!" Xiao Dian said angrily.

Ying Yufu said, "Don't worry, Xiao Dian. This Ying Huanchong is a scoundrel. He schemed against Mother, so how could I let him get away with it!"

Upon hearing Ying Yufu's words, the Grand Preceptor of Xilin fell silent.

Not only him, but everyone else, whose eyes were burning with desire and who were tempted by the so-called resurrection and immortality, instantly became obedient.

Ying Yufu continued, "Perhaps the Western Lin National Preceptor also wants to test the power of the True Word Pill? I think the Western Lin National Preceptor doesn't want his true face, hidden behind the mask, to be exposed at this time?"

The Grand Preceptor of Xilin let out a few forced laughs. "Princess Anguo is joking. I was just curious, that's why I asked."

Ying Yufu said calmly, "I am not joking with the Grand Preceptor of Xilin. Every word I say is the truth."

The eyes behind the mask of the Western Lin National Preceptor darkened slightly.

He stared in Ying Yufu's direction and didn't say anything more.

Emperor Cangxuan then said, "Princess Anguo is the lucky star of our Northern Xuan. If she can be brought back to life and granted immortality, I will be the first to receive her."

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you wish to be brought back to life and achieve immortality? I'm afraid you've missed your chance!"

Just then, the Queen burst into a fit of maniacal laughter.

Emperor Shen Cangxuan and all the officials of the Northern Xuan Dynasty looked at her.

The Empress, in a final act of madness, cried out, "Cang Yingxuan, you won't live past tonight!"

Cang Yingxuan is the real name of Emperor Cangxuan.

The Empress looked up and stared at the hourglass in the corner of the hall.

As the last grain of sand fell, midnight had passed. The Empress laughed loudly, "Cang Yingxuan, you won't let us go, so you must die too! You must die too!"

The expressions of the officials of Beixuan all changed.

"Empress, you poisonous woman, how dare you curse His Majesty!" a censor shouted angrily.

The Empress sneered and said, "If you call it a curse, then it is a curse."

She looked in the direction of Emperor Cangxuan with delight, but a moment, two moments, time slowly passed, and Emperor Cangxuan remained sitting in his original position, completely unharmed.

And his incredibly cold and menacing eyelids were staring at her with a dark, menacing gaze.

The Empress's expression changed.

"Why did you...?"

"Why hasn't the Chihuo Gu in my body taken effect yet?" Emperor Cangxuan directly voiced the Empress's doubts.

Sure enough, the moment the words "Chi Huo Gu" were uttered, not only the Empress but also Han Meng's expression changed instantly.

"How did you know?" the Queen asked in astonishment.

Ying Yufu said, "The Empress should ask Duan why Grand Tutor Hai is still safe and sound."
