Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Just then, Qianqian parted her vermilion lips, her voice as clear and pleasant as an oriole leaving the valley: "Father, I wish to tell you about the interrogation of the black-clothed person in Dongying Guo, and about the assassination we encountered on our return journey."

An Wang listened quietly to Qianqian's words. After she finished speaking, he slightly furrowed his brows, and the whole person instantly fell into silence. After a good while, An Wang slowly raised his head, gazing deeply ahead, as if silently pondering something in his heart.

Finally, An Wang broke the oppressive silence and said in a low voice: "In this king's opinion, those who impersonated Xishang assassins most likely come from Nanliang Guo."

Hearing this, Qianqian could not help but show a look of doubt, and hurriedly asked: "Father, why do you think so?"

An Wang took a deep breath, then said unhurriedly: "Previously, when An Yu was seeing off the Crown Prince of Xishang, the Crown Prince mentioned Tan Xintong. You should know about this matter, right?"

Qianqian nodded lightly, and the dangerous scene of her previous poisoning involuntarily surfaced in her mind. She then continued to ask: "Does that mean there is some connection between the Crown Prince of Xishang and the Prince of Nanliang?"

An Wang slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile of having everything under control, and replied: "Exactly. Based on this king's speculation, these two may have secretly reached some agreement, attempting to join forces to oppose our Dachang Kingdom.

However, what they never expected was that Dachang actually successfully formed a marriage alliance with Dongying. Thus, they came up with a plan, attempting to sabotage this marriage alliance. And that Xin Tong is by no means a fool; although he wanted to take action, he was unwilling to easily expose his true identity."

Therefore, he came up with this scheme of framing others, wanting to push all the blame onto the Crown Prince of Xishang. Alas, things do not always go as one wishes; unexpectedly, you coincidentally overheard their secret discussion and even successfully captured one of them."

Qianqian nodded slightly, agreeing with what her father said: "Father is absolutely right. In that case, both Xishang and Nanliang are eyeing our country like tigers watching their prey. If we could crush both at once, it would naturally be perfect."

An Wang stroked his beard and slowly shook his head: "How easy is this to say! Currently, the five countries are in a state of delicate balance; pulling one hair moves the whole body."

If we rashly attack one country, causing its destruction, it will surely trigger chaos throughout the world. Moreover, this time we are facing enemies of two countries, which is even more difficult."

Qianqian nodded thoughtfully and replied: "Indeed as Father said, such major matters are not something we can control. Father, then I will go practice martial arts with Elder Brother Yue Yi." After speaking, she turned and walked toward the outside.

An Wang smiled and nodded, instructing: "Mm, go. Do not forget to return to your Qianji Yuan to handle those official duties."

Qianqian softly replied: "I know, Father." Afterwards, she quickly left, and Yue Yi followed closely behind, both heading toward the Lianwu Chang.

Not long after, the two arrived at the Lianwu Chang and stood facing each other. After both stood firm, Qianqian looked at Yue Yi with determined eyes and said loudly: "Elder Brother Yue Yi, we can start!"

Yue Yi smiled and replied: "Xiao Zhuzhu, you must be ready!" As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he fiercely threw a punch straight at Qianqian.

For a moment, fist winds howled and palm shadows flew on the Lianwu Chang. The two exchanged blows, neither yielding to the other, fighting very lively.

At the same time, an exquisitely decorated carriage was traveling smoothly. Inside the carriage compartment, An Wangfei and Yan Shuang'er sat side by side, speaking softly and occasionally letting out light laughter.

"This time we go to the yizhan, we must properly help that girl Xingyu tidy up." An Wangfei smiled and said to Yan Shuang'er.

Yan Shuang'er lightly nodded and replied: "Yes, Mother. The bride has just arrived, and there are many things we need to help with. We absolutely must not let people think we are neglecting her."

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the yizhan. A servant had already run ahead to report, so when An Wangfei and the others got off the carriage, Shangguan Xingyu had already brought Shangguan Xingyan and hurried over to welcome them.

"Greetings, An Wangfei!" Shangguan Xingyu slightly curtsied and saluted, a shy smile on her face.

An Wangfei hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and said kindly: "Aiya, we are all family, no need for so many formalities." After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone walked into the room of the yizhan together. As soon as they entered the door, An Wangfei got straight to the point and asked: "Yu'er, you have married here from afar. Are your things all complete? If anything is missing, we will go buy some together later."

Shangguan Xingyu lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and said softly: "Replying to Wangfei, I am not quite sure exactly what is missing..."

An Wangfei smiled and patted her hand, comforting her: "No matter, no matter. This fei will first help you tidy up your things and see what else is lacking. Rest assured, this fei will absolutely not touch your dowry."

Shangguan Xingyu gratefully glanced at An Wangfei and said: "Wangfei, you flatter me. To receive your help, I am truly grateful beyond measure. Speaking of which, my brother and I indeed have no experience and do not know what to prepare."

After speaking, Shangguan Xingyu turned to look at the personal palace maid beside her, Xiao Huang, and instructed: "Xiao Huang, hurry and help Wangfei. Carefully see what things are missing."

Xiao Huang obediently replied and quickly walked to An Wangfei's side. Xiao Huang told An Wangfei that Princess's luggage was in the next room; because there was too much, this room could not fit it. An Wangfei nodded and followed Xiao Huang to the next room.

Xiao Huang began to help her organize the luggage items Shangguan Xingyu had brought. Wangfei and Xiao Huang had just left with their front feet when, with their back feet, they heard hurried footsteps from outside. Immediately, a guard hurried over to report: "Reporting to Princess, Third Miss, the makeup lady requests an audience!"

Yan Shuang'er understood in her heart. She of course knew this was because her mother fei had previously sent someone to notify the makeup lady to come to the yizhan. She slightly nodded and said softly: "Let her in."

Not long after, a middle-aged woman with a kind face and gentle eyebrows and eyes slowly walked in. She wore a light green long skirt, her hair bun was neatly combed, with several plain and elegant hairpins inserted.

Upon seeing Yan Shuang'er, she hurriedly bowed and saluted, respectfully saying: "Greetings, Third Miss." Yan Shuang'er hurriedly waved her hand to indicate: "You are too polite! Look, my future sister-in-law is right here. You can start dressing her up now. If there is anything unsatisfactory, we can conveniently communicate and adjust in time."

The makeup lady smiled and nodded, then turned her gaze to Shangguan Xingyu standing beside. A flash of astonishment crossed her eyes as she praised: "This must be the bride, right? Aiya, she is truly beautiful!" Shangguan Xingyu was embarrassed by the praise, her pretty face instantly blushing, and she lightly nodded in response.

At this time, the makeup lady asked again: "I do not know the bride's esteemed surname?" Shangguan Xingyu replied softly: "This humble woman's surname is Shangguan." The makeup lady smiled and replied: "So it is Miss Shangguan. Then may I trouble you to move to the bronze mirror over there and sit?" Shangguan Xingyu obediently replied, then meekly walked to the bronze mirror and gracefully sat down.
