After a long absence, the Princess Zhenguo Mansion saw the light of day again, and the early autumn sun shone in, bringing a hint of warmth. The servants in the mansion were busy cleaning, and everything looked like it was in a state of disrepair.

After Xie Lang and Wei Qingming finished their business, they asked the wet nurse to bring the child in and talked about some daily trivial matters.

And gave the child a name - Wei Mingying.

"Princess, His Majesty has arrived and is outside the mansion. General Wang You is also here."

The servants came to report that just over half an hour had passed since Xie Lang reopened the Princess Zhenguo Mansion.

I guess Wei Changche must have hurried over to meet the princess as soon as he heard that she had been resurrected.

When Wei Qingming heard that the emperor was coming, he wanted to get up, change his clothes and go to receive him, but was pushed back by Xie Lang.

"You are still too weak, take a rest and take good care of the child."

Xie Lang was now wearing a dark green casual suit, with his hair tied up with only a rosewood hairpin inserted in his hair.

This was the clothes she changed using magic after settling Wei Qingming down. The princess's dress she had worn before was put aside. After all, it had been with the corpse for two years and was stained with a stench of corpse.

"Your Majesty, please come in."

As she spoke, she walked towards the front yard. The news of her resurrection from the underworld must have spread throughout the capital.

The explosion of the princess' tomb had an impact on the entire capital. Some people were probably getting restless.

The front yard of the princess's mansion.

Since someone came to clean the princess's mansion every once in a while, there was no dust.

Wei Changche was dressed in casual clothes and brought only a few guards with him. Upon hearing the news that his elder sister had resurrected, he came with Wang You.

The door of the Princess's Mansion opened again. Wei Changche's eyes welled up as he recalled the time he had spent with his elder sister. He felt an indescribable bitterness in his stomach.

Xie Lang walked in, and Wang You bowed to her when he saw her: "Greetings, Princess."

"Sister..." Wei Changche looked at Xie Lang in a daze. He hadn't seen her for two years and he didn't expect to see her again.

"Sister, you are alive again!"

Wei Changche's eyes were filled with unstoppable excitement; he and his elder sister had a deep relationship and were an extraordinary pair of siblings.

They had several brothers and sisters, but he and his elder sister were the only ones born to the same mother. His mother was frail and sickly and passed away when he was six years old.

His father was away raising an army and doing business and could not take care of the family, so he was raised by his elder sister from a young age, and naturally his friendship with her was special.

So she stepped forward and held Xie Lang's hand, which was completely cold, as if she was touching a corpse. Seeing Wei Changche so excited, Xie Lang didn't say anything. She was not Wei Changning, and she would not learn to get along with Wei Changche like her original self.

Wei Changche saw that Xie Lang's expression was very calm, and a trace of doubt flashed through his mind: "Sister, you..."

“I’m here for Qingming.”

Xie Lang stared at Wei Changche, his eyes neither sad nor happy. Wei Changche let go of his hand the next second, a gloomy look flashed across his eyes, and then he asked worriedly: "How is Qingming?"

Wei Qingming is his niece. He held her in his arms when he was a child, but he rarely sees her since she got married.

According to Wang You's report, Xie Lang pretended to be dead because Wei Qingming was being plotted against by Si Haodang.

This is the child left behind by my elder sister.

"It almost killed two people, but I managed to save them." Xie Lang described the incident simply: "Si Haodang had evil intentions. He colluded with the imperial physician to murder Qingming, and replaced Qingming with his concubine's son. He also wanted to take the throne and fiefdom of the Zhenguo Princess."

Xie Lang's expression remained unchanged as she recounted the incident in a calm tone. However, no matter how calm her tone was, each of these words alone could shock the entire government and the public.

Wei Changche thought the matter was not that serious until he heard what Xie Lang said in person. He felt dizzy and almost lost his balance, then became furious.

"Insolent! How unreasonable!"

Everyone in the royal family dared to plot against her, and the target was the only daughter left by my elder sister.

However, he quickly calmed down, suppressed all his anger, and began to issue orders, "Wang You, pass on my instructions. Immediately send troops to surround the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion and imprison Si Haodang's family."

"Notify the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Censorate to thoroughly investigate Si Haodang's murder of the princess. All the ministers involved should be imprisoned. It is better to let them go than to let them go unpunished."

Then he took off the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Wang You for temporary use. Seeing the pendant was like seeing him. With the help of this jade pendant, he could send troops to surround the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.

"I, General Dingyuan Wang You, accept your order."

Wang You knelt down and took the jade pendant from Wei Changche's hand. He stood up, bowed to Xie Lang, and then hurried out.

For murdering the princess, the Cheng'en Marquis family cannot escape, but if they just want revenge for Wei Qingming, they can just take the Cheng'en Marquis family down.

But Wei Changche said that he would thoroughly investigate the case and that he would rather let the innocent go than let the innocent go, which meant that he would eliminate Si Haodang's power. When thoroughly investigating the murder of the princess, it was inevitable that other charges would be found.

The emperor did this not only to give justice to the princess, but also to purge the court and the country.

At that time, Si Haodang used his status as the eldest princess's son-in-law to place many of his trusted clansmen in positions of power. Due to his status, the ministers turned a blind eye.

Now that he has been arrested, it is natural that the officials who were in his party should also be held accountable.

Xie Lang looked at Wei Changche's decision very calmly. Previously, she asked Wang You to inform the court officials to prepare to impeach Marquis Cheng'en and his family. Now Marquis Cheng'en and his family were imprisoned.

Her attitude and the emperor's attitude also made it clear that those ministers would only impeach Si Haodang to death.

Tomorrow's court meeting should be very exciting.

After Wang You left, Xie Lang received Wei Changche in the living room in the front yard and prepared some food using magic. Seeing Xie Lang's inhuman method, Wei Changche's face turned pale instantly.

He did not forget that Xie Lang was a resurrected dead man, and his previous calmness was overshadowed by other emotions.

Now that he has regained his senses, Wei Changche is naturally afraid. He doesn't know whether the other party is a god or a ghost. He prefers the latter because he can feel the faint evil aura emanating from Xie Lang.

"Sister, is she... okay?"

Wei Changche forced himself to calm down. He already knew that the person in front of him was not Wei Changning, but this person had no ill intentions, so he could remain calm.

After hearing this, Xie Lang understood what Wei Changche meant, so he smiled slightly and said, "She is fine, and has been reincarnated."

The reason why Wei Changning was able to stay in the human world as a wandering soul for two years was because she was very lucky.

She was indeed lucky, as she met Xie Lang two years later. Otherwise, this luck would have turned into misfortune. After all, witnessing her daughter's death could not be considered lucky.

After getting this result, Wei Changche sighed: "That's good."

The dead cannot be resurrected. This answer is neither good nor bad.

"How do you want to deal with Si Haodang's family?" According to Wei Changche's opinion, Si Haodang's behavior was tantamount to treason and his entire clan should be exterminated, but this still depended on Xie Lang's opinion.

"He almost made it so that I couldn't see my daughter and granddaughter."

Wei Changche was relieved. He saw Xie Lang's mouth curl up slightly. The coldness in his eyes made him tremble. "Of course, I will pay you back a hundredfold."

"Princess." A voice came from outside. It turned out that Wei Qingming walked out the door holding the child.

"Mom, can I come in?"

"Come in." After Xie Lang finished speaking, Wei Qingming walked in holding the child. When he saw Wei Changche, he was about to kneel down to greet him.

"Greetings... Your Majesty..."

Before he could finish his words, Wei Changche was quick to stop Wei Qingming from kneeling, and his words were interrupted.

"No need to be so polite, just call me Third Uncle." Wei Changche was the third child, and Wei Changning's husband was a daughter-in-law of the family. Wei Qingming's surname was Wei, so he called him uncle instead of uncle.

"Hello, Third Uncle." After Wei Qingming greeted him, Wei Changche expressed his desire to hold her child. Wei Qingming hesitated for a moment, but still let him hold the child.

Wei Changche sat back in his seat and teased the child.

Xie Lang asked Wei Qingming to sit next to her and asked, "Why don't you rest for a while?"

"Yes, niece, your third uncle and your mother will avenge you tomorrow. You should rest assured. It is important to take good care of your health." Wei Changche put the child on his knees, supporting her with one hand and gently pinching the child's face with the other hand. It felt good.

Wei Qingming looked at the child on Wei Changche's knees, his eyes slightly red: "I'm fine, I will go to the court meeting tomorrow."

She figured it out. If the king is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

She almost died, and her child almost died too. This was her own flesh and blood.

She wanted to see with her own eyes what happened to Si Haodang.

Wei Changche raised his head and looked at Wei Qingming, and found that her eyes were very determined. He wanted to dissuade her tactfully, but he heard Xie Lang, who was sitting opposite him, speak first: "Okay."

"Sister, she...she just gave birth and was on the verge of death. How could you..."

Wei Changche was a little bit incredulous and didn't understand why Wei Qingming had to be involved.

Tomorrow's court meeting will definitely be a bloody one, and such a scene is not suitable for Wei Qingming.

"Uncle San, I'm in good health, you don't have to worry." Wei Qingming smiled at Wei Changche. It seemed that Wei Changche didn't know that her wound had been healed by her mother.

But that's not the point.

"I have a reason to go to tomorrow's court meeting." Wei Qingming said in a resolute voice: "Si Haodang was trying to murder me. As a party involved, I cannot avoid this matter, and I don't want to avoid it."

"I need to get to know Si Haodang and end the feud with him. My mother asked me to write a letter of divorce, and I think it would be better to divorce him on the spot."

"Secondly, if I want to inherit the honor of being the Princess of the Nation, I can't always hide under my mother's wings. I should learn to face it myself."

"So I must be present at tomorrow's court meeting. Your Majesty, please grant my permission."

Wei Qingming finished speaking at once, then bowed to the ground with a determined look in his eyes.

The whole person has lost his youthfulness and become more mature.

Wei Changche was shocked when he heard this. The young man who was ignorant of the world was gone forever.

So he looked at Wei Qingming with great satisfaction: "Qingming, you have grown up."

Wei Qingming just smiled slightly, with a hint of bitterness in his smile.

This kind of growth was gained through a life-and-death experience.
