Hearing her screams, Chan Yi—who was waiting outside—was taken aback and immediately asked, “Your Highness, what’s the matter?”

“Don’t come in!” yelled Shangguan Wan immediately.

“…Yes!” Chan Yi hurriedly agreed and slightly knitted her brows. When Her Highness came back, she hid herself very tightly. I had already guessed something in my heart then, and now, it seems like it should be true… Why did she suddenly become like this after one trip to Dahuang Swamp?

Chan Yi looked up and had a cold and stern gaze as she turned to the palace maids standing in the courtyard.

When the crowd heard Shangguan Wan’s scream, they knew that it wasn’t good. Noticing Chan Yi’s dangerous gaze, all of them looked down and didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

“You all are dismissed.”

“Yes!” Hearing this, the crowd hurriedly left as if they had been saved.

After they all left, Chan Yi looked at the tightly shut door once again.

…

The excruciating burn made Shangguan Wan’s mind blank out. She hurriedly glanced at the copper mirror and saw that her face—which she had just applied cream to—had some tinge of black to it.

It looked like it was burned by something!

The skin that turned over seemed to be burned by fire as it curled up slightly and was even a little black. Even though there was only that one piece, it was already very obvious!

It turned out that the pain I felt just now was really because I was burned! Shangguan Wan was stunned. Wh-what exactly is going on?! The cream is clearly a premium item that can heal scars and wounds. Why did it become like this?

She hurriedly looked at the jar in her hands. It’s right! It’s this cream!

It’s not that she didn’t use it before. Sometimes, she would always quickly recover when she used this after falling or hitting something and a scar was left behind.

However….

Shangguan Wan threw the cream aside and brought the copper mirror closer to check on her wounds, her heart filled with worry.

In order to retrieve the Dancing Lotus quickly, she immediately gathered everyone from the clans and aristocratic families once she came back. She originally wanted to use the cream to let her wound recover slightly so that she could meet other people. However, she didn’t expect that not only did she not recover, but she even ended up in this state!

Shangguan Wan was terrified as her body trembled slightly, and her lips paled. If I really can’t recover my looks… I don’t dare to use the cream anymore, but what else can I do?

In this way, Shangguan Wan sat in front of the mirror in conflict and pain for a very long time—

Until Chan Yi knocked on the door again. “Your Highness, the clan heads and masters are reaching Minghua Palace soon. Do you… want me to help you get ready?”

Shangguan Wan suddenly recovered her senses and realized that she didn’t do anything during this long period of time. If other people see my current defeated state, nobody knows how they will mock me.

She gritted her teeth. “No, I will go to the spa.”

There was hot spring water that was specifically brought over into Huayang Palace.

“Yes.” Chan Yi didn’t dare to ask further as she respectfully agreed.

Shangguan Wan walked to the back, opened the side gate, and entered the place used for hot water baths.

…

Jiang Yucheng followed Shangguan Wan into the palace, but he also knew that the latter didn’t want to see anyone with that face. Hence, he left Huayang Palace after giving instructions on a few things.

After that, he directly went to Qingfeng Palace.

After leaving for so long, he cared most about His Majesty’s current condition.

Arriving at Qingfeng Palace, the security was very tight.

Seeing him arrive, the palace servants bowed in unison. “Greetings, Prince Consort.”

Since Jiang Yucheng and Shangguan Wan had already settled on their wedding date, this was how the crowd addressed them.

Jiang Yucheng nodded. He asked as he walked in, “During this period of time, did His Majesty show any signs of waking up?”

The palace servants shook their heads together.

This was originally within Jiang Yucheng’s expectations, but he was still quite disappointed when he heard this. Everything was clearly done meticulously. Even if we poisoned him too much back then, he should’ve woken up after such a long time of recuperating. However, His Majesty still doesn’t show any changes.

This made him even more frustrated.

When Jiang Yucheng wanted to go in to take a closer look, the palace servants outside reported that the crowd was already gradually arriving, and they invited him to go over.

Helpless, Jiang Yucheng could only retract the hand that was about to open the door as he instructed the crowd to take good care of His Majesty. He then turned around to leave.

Peace resumed in Qingfeng Palace once again.

Within the room, Shangguan You—who had been unconscious for a long time—moved his fingers slightly.

…

Minghua Palace.

The leaders of all the clans were once again gathered here. Other than them, the family heads of the aristocratic families in Xi Ling City had also arrived.

The crowd sat at both sides respectively as they asked about each other, but they all had their own thoughts.

This kind of formation was considered big.

Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng didn’t appear for the entire while, and discussions gradually sounded within the hall.

“The Third Princess suddenly brought people back from Dahuang Swamp and even gathered so many people here. Something must’ve happened…”

“I heard that during this Dahuang Swamp journey, we lost a lot of men! Close to 400 Black Guards alone lost their lives!”

“That’s not the only thing! Many of the clan disciples were injured too! Did you see how terrible Purple Xiao Sword Sect’s Song Luan looked? They went with ten people, but only three came back alive… They should be the most miserable one, right?”

Even though everyone talked with hushed voices, everyone present was basically an elite, so they could still hear it.

Song Luan had indeed heard of the news earlier, and he still hadn’t recovered until now. He sat on his seat, and his face turned green as he clenched his hands tightly, with the veins popping out.

However, he still endured it. Those who can come here have pretty high statuses. If I have a choice, I’m not willing to offend anyone.

At this point, the announcement sounded again. “Chong Xu Cabinet’s Cabinet Master Weichi is here—”

The hall instantly quietened down as everyone looked over with various gazes. They knew all about the news in Xi Ling City the best, so they naturally heard that none of the three Chong Xu Cabinet disciples had returned.

This basically meant that they all died in Dahuang Swamp.

Not long before, Chong Xu Cabinet was still in the limelight and saved their position as the four biggest clans.

The crowd all thought that Chong Xu Cabinet’s situation would turn for the better with Chu Liuyue and Qiang Wanzhou. They didn’t expect that with a mere Dahuang Swamp trip, they were all gone.

This undoubtedly had a great impact on Chong Xu Cabinet!

But out of everyone’s expectations, Weichi Song looked very calm as if he wasn’t in pain from losing his disciple.

Welcoming the crowd’s gazes, Weichi Song walked in directly and briefly greeted the crowd before sitting down on his seat.

Seeing his nonchalant manner, the crowd didn’t know how to react. Could it be… that he still doesn’t know something has happened?

Song Luan was in a bad mood, so he couldn’t help but speak weirdly. “Cabinet Master Weichi, I heard that none of the three disciples you sent to Dahuang Swamp came back? My condolences!”

Then, the air around seemed to freeze!

Weichi Song looked up and calmly and coldly glanced at Song Luan. “Why? Do you want to cry at the grave?”
