Shi Zhou looked at Ah Yu in admiration. “Your thoughts coincided with Princess Ruan Ruan’s. At that time, Princess Ruan Ruan also thought that either the Imperial Preceptor had miscalculated, or the Imperial Preceptor had already been blinded by power and lost his usual righteousness. Therefore, Princess Ruan Ruan found the Imperial Preceptor and quarreled with him.”

Princess Ruan Ruan was a truly pampered princess, but she loved to run out of the palace to play. Therefore, she understood the sufferings of the human world better than most people in the royal family. She understood very well what kind of harm would happen if a superior abused his power.

Therefore, she tried her best to persuade the Emperor at that time, but at that time, the Emperor thought that the Princess was biased because she couldn’t bear to see those children killed and did not really suspect the Imperial Preceptor.

Unexpectedly, when the bold princess saw that the Emperor was not on her side, she brought her princess’s guards to barge into the Imperial Preceptor’s residence at night. She didn’t expect to encounter the scene of the Imperial Preceptor colluding with the Prime Minister.m

Speaking of which, the Imperial Preceptor and the Prime Minister both had a strong fondness for Princess Ruan Ruan. When she was young, she imitated the Emperor and imprinted her small seal on the memorials of the ministers. Sometimes, she would even be carried by the Emperor to attend the court meeting. Others said that the Princess was violating the customs, but the Imperial Preceptor and the Prime Minister would stand up and refute those people.

If not for the Imperial Preceptor and the Prime Minister, Princess Ruan Ruan would not have been accepted by so many people in the Imperial Court.

“When it doesn’t involve their own interests, everyone can be kind. But once their interests are at stake, they’ll bare sharp teeth and claws, tearing apart anyone who tries to undermine them without hesitation.” The chill in Shi Zhou’s eyes intensified, and as he looked at Ah Yu, it was as if he saw that once spirited princess again.

Ah Yu knew that this story was about her background, but she was attracted by the plot of the story. She hurriedly asked anxiously, “What happened after that? Is the princess alright?”

“The princess was fine, but less than 10% of the guards she brought with her survived. Those guards were personally chosen by the Emperor for her, each one an elite fighter capable of taking on ten opponents. Yet, they were no match for the death knights nurtured by the Imperial Preceptor’s residence.”

“The Princess managed to escape back to the palace, but rumors quickly spread, claiming that the calamitous star was not a child but Princess Ruan Ruan herself. It was said that she would bring calamity to the kingdom, and her bloodline, if allowed to continue, would lead to the downfall of the entire West Wind Kingdom!”

The reason why the Imperial Preceptor claimed it to be another child was due to his fondness for the princess and the pressure from the royal family.

As soon as he said this, the others didn’t believe it. But those who had lost their children believed it. They pressured the Emperor to hand over the princess.

Princess Ruan Ruan felt that everything in front of her was ridiculous. In a fit of anger, she vomited blood and fainted, falling unconscious for half a year.

In that half a year, no one knew how the Emperor and the others suppressed this matter. When Princess Ruan Ruan woke up, she had forgotten those unpleasant experiences due to the overwhelming shock. She returned to being a carefree princess.

Just as everyone thought that the matter was over, Princess Ruan Ruan met an outsider. He completely attracted her attention.

The remaining guards also followed the princess’s orders and helped her hide her tracks.

Until one morning, they realized that the princess was gone. Only her note was left, saying that she was going out on a trip and her return date was uncertain.

“Till date, the princess has never appeared again,” Shi Zhou said.

Ah Yu opened her mouth. “Don’t tell me that the princess is my mother?”

Under Ah Yu’s incredulous gaze, Shi Zhou nodded and pointed at her eyes. “You have the same eyes. There’s also a butterfly birthmark behind your ear. This is a mark that only the women of the West Wind Nation’s royal family have. Others won’t have it, and it can’t be faked..”
