Just as everyone was panicking over this matter, Long Yueling had already set foot on the road back to her residence with the protection of the crown prince. With the Crown Prince here, Long Yueling could lie in the carriage peacefully. There was no need to worry about any accidents happening again.

Old Zhang still felt that it was unreal to be on a cloud while driving the carriage.

It was actually fine.

Not only was she fine, she even received a reward from His Majesty.

The Third Marquis' unrestrained nature actually looked down on the imperial power, and teased the young lady of the Prime Minister's Palace on the streets. He was a princess of a nation. Fortunately, the princess possessed exceptional skills. Not only did she manage to protect herself, she even managed to eliminate all of the harm that had come to her.

At the same time, he also brought up the documents of many citizens accusing Long Daomei, and there were many citizens who testified, that Long Daomei was in the wrong, and that Long Yueling wanted to eliminate all harm for the citizens!

Instantly, Long Yueling's actions became rational and lofty.

Could it be that this was what they meant by 'getting assistance from the heavens'?

However, Long Yueling found out afterwards what was the reason behind the Lunar Scourge's timely appearance. I heard that his wife is also a princess, but her relationship with His Majesty isn't particularly close.

She remembered that Long Daomei once said that it was not like he had never experienced the taste of a niece before …

Returning to the Prime Minister's Palace, Lu Zhenhai and the others were already waiting at the door.

Seeing the crown prince, Lu Zhenhai immediately pushed Han Lu forward.

"Your Highness, this old subject has a request." As Lu Zhenhai said this, he kneeled in front of Long Yuebei.

"If the Prime Minister has something to say, then go ahead. Why are you doing this?" Long Yuebei had been searching for the whereabouts of the mysterious person who brought away the Divine Beast, and upon returning back to the palace, he was sent back home by Long Chang Zai. Along the way, he had already found out what had happened through his followers, and he couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for his cousin, who he hadn't really interacted with.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is aware that although Long Yueling is the direct daughter of our Lu Family, she has a noble identity, and that is the princess of the current dynasty. Therefore, to my entire Lu Family, Long Yueling is the heaven of the Lu Family, and she is the ruler of Lu Mansion. "We are truly powerless to interfere with what she has done …"

Long Yueling who was getting down from the carriage heard this and couldn't help but chuckle.

What a great Lu Zhenhai, was he really her father?

"This …" How could Long Yuebei not understand what he meant? It was obvious that he was afraid that Long Yueling's matter would implicate him, so he used Long Yueling's other identity to get rid of their relationship.

"Your Highness, please enlighten me. Yue Ling's matter really has nothing to do with my father, it has nothing to do with the entire Lu Mansion." At this time, Han Lu also kneeled in front of Long Yuebei, his head slightly raised, as his eyes that had water in them looked straight into Long Yuebei's eyes.

In the past, she had already secretly admired Long Yuebei, and only waited for her strength to once again rise, when his gaze would finally fall on her body.

At this moment, with his looks, kneeling down in front of her, he would definitely be moved.

"I didn't even know how high your position in the Prime Minister's Palace was." Long Yuebei turned and smiled at Long Yueling.

Long Yueling also laughed sarcastically: "The princesses of the first dynasty staying in the Prime Minister's house have wronged me for over a dozen years."

"This old official is guilty of not serving the princess well." Lu Zhenhai immediately said.

Long Yuebei did not know how to handle the matter in front of him. Towards this cousin of his who had suddenly shocked the world with his presence, Long Yuebei's heart was filled with probing, but at the same time, with a little more sympathy.

Previously, the outside world had been filled with rumors of how weak and cowardly the Prime Minister's Palace and daughter were. It was obvious that her days in the Palace were not that easy. He should have entered the palace today on Lu Zhenhai's request, but now that she had killed the Third Marquis, the Lu family was afraid of being implicated, so he hastily tried to sever all relations with her.

How disappointed would he be to be born into such a family?

No matter what, he had to help her.

"Since you can't take good care of the princess, then I will bring her back to the palace. From now on, Long Yueling has nothing to do with your Lu family anymore, what do you think?" Long Yuebei's tone was full of discussion, but her expression was extremely cold.

Hmph, Lu Zhenhai did nothing, yet he stayed in the position of the First Master for so many years, what was he relying on? Wasn't it because Lu Mansion was Aunt's husband's home, and because Lu Mansion also had an aunt's daughter?

If Long Yueling no longer has relations with the Lu Family, then you guys can just wait to be destroyed.

"To bring him back to the palace? "Your Highness, what do you mean, Yue Ling …" Wasn't she on the verge of being executed? Why would she be taken back to the palace? Oh right, why wasn't Long Yueling locked up, and why did she come back with His Highness the Crown Prince?

Just as Han Lu was feeling suspicious, two carriages arrived at the Lu Mansion entrance. The one who got off from them was Wang Yuyan, followed by her father, Minister Wang.

At this moment, Wang Yuyan's face was pale. Clearly, she was severely injured.

"Yuyan, what's wrong?" Han Lu naturally knew what was going on, but she still asked with an ignorant face filled with worry.

No matter why Long Yueling hadn't been imprisoned or executed, she believed that Wang Yuyan would benefit from adding fuel to the fire now.

"I came here to apologize to Your Highness. Today, I coincidentally met the Princess at the market, but mistook her for an enemy of the past. I charged at Your Highness, so I hope that Your Highness doesn't take it to heart." Wang Yuyan kneeled in front of Long Yueling, the arrogance in her eyes showed that she was not willing to say these words.

"Yuyan, what's the matter?" Han Lu stood up, and quickly walked to Wang Yuyan's side and asked softly.

"Haven't you received any news?" Wang Yuyan retorted with a question.

"What kind of news? Ever since we found out that she killed the Third Marquis, our family had been hiding at home, and no one dared to go out and ask about it." As she said till here, Han Lu finally realized that the situation wasn't right.

"No wonder... Let me tell you, not only did this little hoof not receive any punishment for killing the Third Marquis, it even received a reward from His Majesty. "I don't know the details, but after my father returned from the palace, he immediately dragged me here to beg for forgiveness." Despite the unwillingness in her heart, Wang Yuyan still had to accept reality.

Han Lu cried out, as she looked at Long Yueling in disbelief, her entire body transforming into a stone statue.

"Next time, keep your eyes open. Otherwise, you might lose your life." Long Yueling coldly said as she looked down on the two of them who were muttering amongst themselves.

Hearing Long Yueling's words, Han Lu suddenly regained her senses, and turned her heart to joy.

The crown prince had already said earlier that he would take Long Yueling back to the palace and in that case, this Lu Mansion would return back into her hands. Moreover, his Lu Mansion had not been implicated, which was to be congratulated.

However, before Han Lu could be happy, she heard Long Yueling say again: "Cousin crown prince, I will not be following you back to the palace since I am too used to staying at Lu Mansion. Furthermore, there are many things in the Lu Mansion that I need to take care of, and I can't leave either. "

There were still a lot of things she needed to do...

After hearing what Long Yueling said, everyone who knew the truth fell into disarray.

It seemed especially cold this winter.
