When these words came out, Eunuch Bai instantly opened his eyes wide. He never thought that such a thing would come out of Shui Qingyan's mouth.

However, Chu Chen frowned slightly as he looked at Eunuch Bai. Eunuch Bai's reaction made Chu Chen suspicious.

No matter whether Shui Qingyan would be a Second Princess or not in the future, from the looks of it, the Fourth Miss of the Shui family did not have as much weight as the Princess Feicui.

But not only did Eunuch Bai not frown to express his dissatisfaction, he had an expression of shock instead. Chu Chen didn't understand what the Eunuch Bai was surprised about. The Eunuch Bai held a fifth of the imperial shadow guards — — Long Ying.

As he thought about it, Chu Chen's gaze stopped at Shui Qingyan and Yun Sheng.

"Shui Qingyan, do you know that if these words of yours were to spread into Jadeite's ears, Jadeite would punish you with the crime of looking down on a princess?" Yun Sheng grinned evilly.

Shui Qingyan raised her brows slightly: "Contempt? I don't dare to look down on Princess Feicui. "

Yun Sheng said, "You compare jadeite to a peacock and yourself to a phoenix. If you aren't looking down on her, then what is it?"

"Not really." Shui Qingyan turned her gaze back to normal and looked forward, "I never said that the Emerald Princess was a peacock."

The morning breeze brushed past Shui Qingyan's shoulders, lifting up all of the hair around her ears.

Yun Sheng looked at Shui Qingyan's face from the side and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Cough, cough." Liuyi could not take it anymore and coughed.

Eunuch Bai also regained his senses, and immediately shouted out: "Second Prince, Prince Chu, Fourth Miss, accept the order!"

The three of them immediately received their orders and returned to the capital, entering the palace.

The capital, in the palace.

In the throne room, the current Emperor of Yun Chao, Yun Lancang, was wearing a dragon robe as he sat on the dragon throne.

Lord Chu was clad in a robe of dark blue and white silk, and his hands were clasped around Yu Huat. His face was impassive.

Assistant Minister had a pair of round, black eyes and a face full of resentment.

The officials were all waiting for Long Ying's return. The only reason Eunuch Bai had personally come out was because Doctor Shui had sued the Prince Chu Palace for detaining his beloved daughter.

"Second Prince, Prince Chu, Fourth Miss Shui has arrived!" The loud screams of a eunuch reporting could be heard as everyone turned their heads to look outside the throne room.

frowned slightly. He was very unhappy that he found Shui Qingyan at his residence.

Beside Yun Lancang, Eunuch Shou was also looking outside the great hall.

Gradually, three figures appeared.

Yun Sheng was dressed in golden and silver silk embroidered clothes. Like a cloud lotus, he slowly walked in. His charming peach blossom eyes had a consistent smile as a white pearl appeared under his chin. It was unique and exquisite.

All the officials nodded their heads. Amongst all the princes, only the Seventh Prince could give people this feeling of ease and alertness.

The Minister's gaze continued to shift backwards. When he saw Chu Chen, who was following behind Yun Sheng, he gasped.

Rumor has it that the Prince Chu had been tormented to the point where only skin and bones remained. Like a withered leaf in the autumn wind, they urgently needed someone to pass on their life to them.

However, the current Prince Chu, wearing a dark gold embroidered robe, still had a jade like appearance, walking steadily, other than his pale complexion, his temperament, his charm, was something no one could compare to. The number one young master in the world, was after all the number one young master of this world!

After the ministers seized Chu Chen's charms, they could not help but complain about the rumors in their hearts. The Prince Chu was extremely charming, how could he fall for the Fourth Miss of the Shui Family? The poor Prince Chu had been hiding in the imperial court for five years. He did not know the nature of the Fourth Miss of the Shui Family and thus was tricked by his.

All the officials sighed as they felt pity for Chu Chen.

When they raised their heads again, the officials stretched their necks out. The one behind the Prince Chu should be the Fourth Miss of the Shui Family, dressed in beautiful clothes.

Weird, why is there only one woman in red?

The woman in red, the woman in red …

Everyone in the throne room opened their eyes wide.

Was that person really the fourth lady of the Shui family?

Even Shui Yiyuan who had turned around was stunned.

Was that really her daughter?

The woman's red clothes billowed, her black hair fell down like a waterfall, like a phoenix that had been reborn from its fire. Walking on Chu Chen's right side, her footsteps were steady, her posture upright, and every step she took revealed her arrogance, confidence, and calmness.

At this moment, Shui Yiyuan felt a type of most respected aura coming from Shui Qingyan's body.

In the throne room, the sound of him inhaling in and out of breath could be heard unceasingly.

As they neared, the various ministers were even more surprised, only to see the lady's calm face that was even worse than Chu Chen's, her exceptional appearance shocking everyone present.

At the moment he saw Shui Qingyan, Yun Lancang tightly clenched the Dragon People's Handrail, and his eyes stared straight at Shui Qingyan's face.

Eunuch Bai suddenly appeared beside Yun Lancang and whispered a few words into his ear.

Hearing that, Yun Lancang's body trembled, his eyes stared straight at Shui Qingyan's expressionless eyes, the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

After finishing the mission for the Eunuch Bai, he quickly left.

"This son greets royal father." Yun Sheng bowed.

"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty." Chu Chen bowed.

"This subject's daughter greets the Emperor." Shui Qingyan bowed according to the rules of etiquette in her memory, looking elegant and refined.

Yun Lancang's voice shook a little as he looked at Shui Qingyan slowly lowering his body and waving his hands. He did not say anything.

Eunuch Shou took a step forward, "Exempt — —"

"Thank you, your majesty." The three of them stood up.

"Qingyan!" Shui Yiyuan walked towards Shui Qingyan with tears in his eyes.

Shui Qingyan looked in Shui Yiyuan's direction, and smiled faintly: "I made father worry, daughter is fine."

Shui Yiyuan could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Shui Qingyan's eyes. He stepped forward, grabbed hold of Shui Qingyan's wrist, and urgently asked: "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Shui Qingyan raised her brows, because when Shui Yiyuan held onto her wrist, she checked her pulse. Even though Shui Yiyuan had covered up well, Shui Qingyan had still found out.

What was Shui Yiyuan doing? Shui Qingyan couldn't understand.

"I can't see." Shui Qingyan smiled faintly.

Ah!" Shui Yi Yuan took three steps back and fainted in front of the officials.

"Master Shui!" Immediately, some of his comrades stepped forward to catch Shui Yiyuan.

"Father?" Shui Qingyan worriedly shouted, "Daddy, what's wrong?"

Shui Yiyuan stood up, pointed at Chu Chen, and took out a jade pendant from his sleeves: ", may I ask, does this jade pendant belong to the crown prince?"

"I was the one who sent someone to inform you that the Fourth Miss was with me, and I was the one who told you not to disturb me when you had nothing else to do." Chu Chen said in a flat tone, and there wasn't anything inappropriate on the surface.

All of the officials gasped. The Prince Chu had been deceived by Fourth Miss Shui, to the point where the throne room actually held onto their own responsibility for the disappearance of Fourth Miss Shui!

"Your majesty, you have to redress this humble subject's grievances! Qingyan is this humble subject's lifeblood!" Shui Yiyuan kneeled in front of Yun Lancang with both knees, "Prince Chu Palace has gone too far! First he captured his daughter, then he imprisoned her. Now the Prince Chu has admitted it, this humble subject is the victim! Please make the decision, Your Majesty! "

"Your majesty, Miss Shui Si is the master of the Jadesnow Mandarin Duck Pendant. This time, Prince Chu has looked down on your majesty. National Duke Ying took a step forward and said.

"Your Majesty, this matter has yet to be ascertained. I hope that Your Majesty can ask for the reason before coming to a conclusion. Prince Chu has already contributed greatly to my Da Yun and definitely will not do something that goes against your majesty." The supporters of Prince Chu Palace came forward to speak.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Shui's adopted daughter is unkind and guilty. Please punish his fairly, and bring his to justice." Assistant Minister stepped forward.

"It was this humble subject's bad intentions to bring up such a disreputable daughter. This humble subject is willing to accept punishment for her daughter, and I ask for the emperor's benevolence to let go of my clear face. She's just young and insensible." After Shui Yiyuan got up and finished speaking, he threw himself down once again.

Shui Qingyan heard and frowned. Before she could say anything, Shui Yiyuan, this father, was the one who punished her first. If even Shui Yiyuan didn't believe her, who would be willing to believe him!

As she thought about it, Shui Qingyan couldn't help but recall the scene when Shui Yiyuan examined her pulse. She clearly felt that Shui Yiyuan was somewhat strange.

"Your majesty, now that the Prince Chu and the Fourth Miss are here, we might as well listen to what they have to say." Shui Qingyan, the grandfather of Shui Qingyan, and the Minister of Rites, Liu Changqing, took a step forward.

Yun Lancang had been silent the entire time, he only quietly watched the reactions of everyone present. Now that Liu Changqing had spoken, he looked at Shui Yiyuan and asked, "Where did the jade pendant that was in the hand of Shui Mei-ching come from?"

Before Shui Yiyuan could say anything, Chu Chen spoke out, "I sent someone to deliver them to the Shui’s Marion, inform the Fourth Miss of the Shui’s Marion to be with me."

Once Chu Chen said this, everyone immediately looked at Chu Chen's face, which was sharper than five years ago's. Anyone who dared to use such a tone to speak to the emperor, under the heavens, other than the sickly heir who was only twelve years old and looked like a seal, there was no one else.

"Yes." Yun Lancang gave a light grunt, but didn't display any trace of dissatisfaction towards Chu Chen speaking on behalf of Shui Yiyuan. Instead, he looked at him and said: "How is Prince Chu's illness?"

"If I hang on, I might be able to hold on for two more years." Chu Chen's expression did not change, as if he was talking about someone else.

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and subconsciously shared some information.

"Yes." Yun Lancang said softly, "After the next dynasty, let the national doctor take a look."

Chu Chen frowned, but still spoke: "Understood."

"Yes." Yun Lancang nodded.

The ministers looked at each other again. There was probably no one else in the world other than the current emperor who could make the Prince Chu stay in the palace and have the national doctors request for connections.

"Just now, Supreme Water said, what about the matter of the Prince Chu's Palace imprisoning Supreme Water?" Yun Lancang looked towards the Prince Chu.

"Reporting to the Emperor, there is indeed such a thing." Prince Chu took a step forward and cupped his hands in a salute.

"The emperor has to seek justice for this humble subject!" Shui Yiyuan immediately bowed.
