Chapter 166: Resolving the Doubt from the Previous Life (Update 1)

Of course, she also wanted to resolve a doubt from her previous life.

Xu Shen Yun then looked toward Shen Qingli, vaguely feeling her voice was somewhat familiar?

Moreover, she was sitting beside Zhong Minglan, and even had her hand held……

"Young Highness?" Xu Shen Yun looked toward Zhong Minglan, "Your Majesty?"

"That's right." Zhong Minglan nodded, "Shen Qingli, the Emperor's daughter, the Young Emperor of the Vermilion Bird Palace."

Young Emperor, Xu Shen Yun wasn't surprised, but a daughter? The Emperor's daughter!? This……

Before Xu Shen Yun could react, Zhong Minglan already looked toward Shen Kuo, "The Emperor's imperial consort, Shen Kuo. And also—"

"Child groom." The seen Di Jin immediately introduced himself, so as not to be misintroduced later.

Xu Shen Yun: "??"

Jin Wu widened his eyes, staring at Shen Kuo!

"Since the person has been captured, Jin Wu."

"Subordinate reporting!"

"You arrange the ceremony; I'll have the Vermilion Bird Palace upper and lower get acquainted."

"Yes!" Jin Wu received the order.

Zhong Minglan then pulled Shen Qingli up, "Come, I'll take you to the prison."

"This subordinate just brought the person; why must Your Majesty and the Highness move?" Xu Shen Yun hurriedly said.

"I'll just take the little beauty for a walk." Zhong Minglan's purpose was here; she also looked toward Shen Kuo and Di Jin, "Together."

After speaking, she slightly frowned, looking at Shen Kuo, "Are you alright?"

Shen Kuo, already risen, looked at her, somewhat puzzled, "What's not possible?"

"Alright, let's go." Zhong Minglan feared he might vomit blood while walking; as for Di Jin, she always suspected he was faking it, but had no evidence.

"I want to go too!" Jiu Li volunteered, climbing onto Shen Qingli's shoulder.

"I have no intention of abandoning you." Zhong Minglan still liked this little cat, having already patted its head.

Jiu Li instantly smiled, "Let's go, let's go, let me see what 'shameless' is like~"

"I want to hold hands too!" Di Jin insisted, already taking Shen Qingli's hand.

Shen Qingli felt helpless whenever he kept saying "child groom" and such; she lowered her voice to tell him, "Don't keep throwing around terms like 'child husband'—what honorable title is that?"

"What's not honorable about being a child husband?" Di Jin took pride in it; the title his father gave him satisfied him—otherwise he wouldn't know how to break through this relationship.

"Speak softer!" Shen Qingli was exasperated, "Can the Dao Palace accept that? Say less from now on."

"No, I want to be the child husband for my older sister." Di Jin knew that if he didn't say it, the title would be gone!

Shen Kuo, who had followed up beside them, was already getting a headache; he had only meant it as a temporary measure, never expecting to invite a wolf into the house.

Thus, he who had originally intended to walk toward Di Jin's side changed course, heading straight to Zhong Minglan's side, not wanting to listen or look, his eyes and head aching.

The hand on his forehead, in Zhong Minglan's eyes, showed he was uncomfortable but holding on. Her hand instinctively supported Shen Kuo, "You really have no problem?"

"I'm fine." Shen Kuo sighed, "Domestic thieves are hard to guard against."

Only then did Zhong Minglan understand; however, if Di Jin could truly become a son‑in‑law, she would actually be quite satisfied.

"Let him go; after all, we don't marry off our daughters." Zhong Minglan made up her mind, absolutely not letting the little beauty leave her again.

"You really agreed?" Shen Kuo exclaimed, "Can you bear to?"

"Not marrying her off is just adding another person to the household?" Zhong Minglan countered.

That's true as well; Shen Kuo was speechless, actually not opposing it, but he had only just brought back the young lady not long ago……

But if he truly became a son‑in‑law, it seems there's really nothing wrong with it; he's just still somewhat worried about Di Jin's background.

As the family of four chatted while walking out of the inner hall, the sight of Jin Wu and Xu Shen Yun behind them looked like a harmonious, happy family.

The main thing is that they're pleasing to the eye!

They're extremely pleasing to the eye!

Xu Shen Yun couldn't help but sigh.

"General Jin, when did Your Majesty take in an imperial consort, hiding it so thoroughly?"

"I don't know." Jin Wu also wasn't clear; he had only just realized that, with a daughter, there certainly was an imperial consort.

"Don't say that; Your Majesty's taste is excellent—she picked an imperial consort who's a one‑in‑a‑hundred looker, and the Young Emperor she bore is also good‑looking!"

Xu Shen Yun had already sighed in admiration, "Your Majesty even early on raised such an outstanding child husband for the Young Emperor—truly worthy of the Emperor! Whatever you do, you're decisive."

"The Young Emperor is naturally outstanding!" Jin Wu watched Shen Kuo's slender back, "It's just that the imperial consort is a bit too fragile."

Xu Shen Yun disagreed, "Your Majesty is so strong; she certainly needs a match like this, complementary! Do you think General Jin believes that a brute like Shaoguan Wu could match the Emperor? No way, pfft!"

In Xu Shen Yun's eyes, Shaoguan Wu is nothing but a toad!

What's hateful is that, for the Emperor's sake, he even knelt before that toad!

"Really disgusting!" Xu Shen Yun felt awful inside, "No, I also want to go over and have a look, to vent this resentment completely."

Capturing Tan Bilian only counts as half the resentment vented; not seeing that poisonous woman executed on the spot, he really couldn't get past it.

Just a little more! Just a tiny bit, and he would have made a huge mistake!

Although the Emperor didn't blame him, he himself felt terrible.

After walking together for a stretch, Jin Wu then realized there were still Shaoguan Wu, Tan Bilian, and Lou Guanxue to deal with.

Jin Wu immediately realized this was troublesome, "You go at once to report to Your Majesty about Lou Guanxue; I'll go investigate."

"Can she really use that to obtain a pardon?" Xu Shen Yun frowned, "The Dao Lord is in seclusion—how could she get a pardon?"

"Don't worry about it; just report to Your Majesty!" After saying that, Jin Wu had already transformed a strand of his own hair into a little golden crow, flying toward the Dao Palace.

At the same time, Zhong Minglan had already brought Shen Qingli and the others, arriving at the Vermilion Bird Palace prison.

Here, flames raged everywhere; as soon as Shen Qingli entered, she felt the heat far exceeding that of the earth's core magma.

Dad," she was about to ask if Dad could hold up, when she turned her head and saw her mother already emanating divine light, protecting her father.

Get closer to me, or you'll melt." Zhong Minglanhai reminded Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo nodded, "Good."

He cultivates ice; this place indeed has a suppressive effect on him.

However, it doesn't make him feel uncomfortable, but with Zhong Minglan's breath protecting him, it's naturally more comfortable.

"Shen Qingli!" Qin Bilian's voice suddenly rang out sharply.

Shen Qingli raised her eyes, only then discovering there was just one prisoner here——Qin Bilian.

Even after taking Lou Guanxue's immortal elixir, Qin Bilian hadn't fully recovered; she looked like a middle-aged woman, her hair terribly mottled with grayish-white.

Compared to that, Shen Qingli's visage had hardly changed; she had merely grown a bit taller, her features opened a little, like a just-blooming cold plum, exactly the most beautiful time of her life.

Moreover, with Shen Qingli's already ascended strength and the potential she has awakened in the Vermilion Bird Divine Seal, her future appearance will not undergo much change.

Qin Bilian hated her more and more as she looked; she even forgot to be afraid, unable to help but scream.

But as soon as she finished screaming, she regretted it!

At this moment, she is a prisoner under custody, while Shen Qingli is the Young Emperor of the Vermilion Bird Palace; she simply cannot contend.

She, she could only hurriedly look toward Shen Kuo, "Dad, Dad! It's me, Chacha~"
