The flood was under control, and everyone thought it was Princess Nine who once again protected Dachen.

But gradually, rumors spread that it was Princess Eight who came up with a plan to resolve the crisis, and Princess Nine, unable to come up with her own, was instead restricted.

The rumors spread quickly, and by the time Princess Nine realized it, people were already discussing the frequent occurrences of poison in the princess's mansion.

Indeed, in the month that Princess Nine was restricted, poison incidents in the princess's mansion had occurred at least five times, each resulting in numerous deaths.

This situation left the people of the capital in fear, casting doubt on the belief that Princess Nine was a lucky star descended to earth.

Until tonight, another poison incident erupted in the capital, not in the princess's mansion, but among many nobles and wealthy merchants.

This night in the capital was destined to be restless.

The moon tonight is full, and Princess Seven and I are on the top floor of the Chunfeng Tower, able to clearly see the chaos in various households in the capital.

"In seven days, it's the annual blessing from the Imperial Preceptor, and the Emperor has lifted Chen Qingqing's restriction."

It was expected. The Emperor had pampered her for so long, how could he bear to see Princess Nine suffer? This blessing was a good opportunity.

The Imperial Preceptor is an old-fashioned man who usually lives in seclusion and only appears at this time every year. Princess Seven spent a lot of time to deal with him.

I thought there was no hope, but at the last moment, the Imperial Preceptor surprisingly acknowledged my existence. He had me brought to him, his eyes that seemed to see through everything staring straight at me, as if he could see everything.

He sighed deeply and finally agreed to my request.

Perhaps Princess Nine is indeed a lucky star, but now even the Imperial Preceptor cannot see through everything. The brighter something is, the more temptations surround it. A slight thought, a wrong step, can lead to completely different outcomes.
