The useless princess is causing trouble again

The singing and dancing performance in the hall was still going on. Situ Chong came back with Shangguan Wei. Everyone in the audience looked over, feeling very confused.

"How can there be two Princesses of Sheng? Who is sitting on the stage? Who is the real Princess?"

"The one that Prince Sheng is holding is the real princess, and the one sitting on the stage is a fake one."

"That makes sense. Prince Sheng just left her behind and the fake princess is going to suffer."

Everyone was talking about it, and they all insisted that the person on the stage was a fake Shangguan Wei.

Admiral Xu stood up, smiling broadly, and bowed towards the entrance of the hall, "Your Highness Prince Sheng, what's going on? Why are there two Prince Sheng's concubines?"

"This king also knows what is going on. Why did the real and fake princess appear in the admiral's mansion? The defense under his rule is lax. Admiral Xu should give this king an explanation."

The dancers scattered, and Situ Chong and Shangguan Wei stood in the middle of the hall. Situ Chong looked at Admiral Xu with cold eyes.

Prince Runan put down his wine glass and said, "Prince Sheng and his wife look the same, no one can tell them apart. Admiral Xu is innocent, and Your Highness Prince Sheng is too hasty to draw conclusions."

Turning his head to look at "Shangguan Wei" across from him, "Your Highness Prince Sheng insisted that she was a fake, so how can he be sure that the one beside him is the real princess?"

Shangguan Wei folded her hands in front of her chest, "Hehe, I am not talented, but I am good at exposing fakes. If she has the guts to come down and confront me, I can tell the real from the fake in a second." She looked at "Shangguan Wei" with a provocative look, "Come down if you have the guts, I will expose your true colors immediately."

King Runan curled his lips and sneered, "I believe that the one on the stage is the real Princess Sheng, and you are the fake one."

"Oh, you are so sure that she is the real princess. Could it be that she is the King of Runan's woman?"

King Runan glanced at Shangguan Wei and said, "Nonsense, I know she is the real princess by instinct."

"Bah, King Runan, shut up. Forget your stupid intuition. I am Shangguan Wei. Come down quickly, you little brat."

Shangguan Wei stood in the middle of the hall, her hands on her hips, her right toe stepping on the carpet again and again, looking extremely arrogant.

"I am not afraid of you. True gold is not afraid of fire. You are the fake Shangguan Wei."

"Shangguan Wei" stood up with red eyes, walked down the steps slowly, and looked at Situ Chong affectionately, "Your Highness, I am the real Shangguan Wei. During the days and nights we spent together, I was so gentle and considerate to you."

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, I'm sick to death. The prince has two birthmarks on his body. Where are they located? What kind of incense do you usually use? What do you like to eat and drink? What is your nickname? Tell me."

Shangguan Wei blushed, "You said so much at once, I can't remember it all, why don't you speak first?"

"Haha! It's okay. Listen carefully. The prince has a birthmark on his body. Where is it? What kind of incense does he usually use? What do he like to eat and drink? What is his nickname? Do you understand? Tell me clearly."

"Shangguan Wei" pursed her lips, "What if the concubine tells you the answer and you follow her?"

"No need to go through so much trouble. I will just kill him."

Situ Chong finished his words coldly, raised his right palm and tightened it. "Shangguan Wei" was sucked up by the powerful force, hanging in the air and struggling, gasping for breath and saying, "Your Majesty, you can't do this to me. She is the fake princess. If you kill... me, your Majesty will regret it."

A tearing pain ran through her entire face, and her skin fell to the ground. "Shangguan Wei" fell from the air with a scream, covering her face in fear.

Seeing this, everyone on the field started talking about it.

"Oh my god, who is this? How dare she pretend to be Princess Sheng?"

"I have seen her in the capital. She is Xiao Yuanyuan, the second daughter of the Minister of Works. I heard that she has been in love with His Highness Sheng for a long time."

"It's really Xiao Yuanyuan, a talented woman with a little fame in the capital. She is so bold to pretend to be Princess Sheng. She is really courting death."

Xiao Yuanyuan listened to the discussions around her and fell into a frenzy, "Don't look over here, get out of the way, I am the Princess of Sheng."

Shangguan Wei approached Xiao Yuanyuan and looked down at her. "Alas, a knockoff is a knockoff. The smell of powder on her body is so strong. My husband likes lighter things. No wonder it was exposed at the first glance."

"Since this woman is a fake princess, and this is related to the Minister of Works, Admiral Xu should arrest her and detain her immediately, and then torture her to find out the reason."

Prince Runan glanced at Admiral Xu coldly, his tone serious and threatening.

"As you command, Your Majesty. I will detain her and interrogate her now to find out the truth behind this."

Admiral Xu bowed and waved to the guards standing behind him.

"There is no need for Admiral Xu to take action. This matter involves the princess's safety, and I am solely responsible for it. I have already found the mastermind behind the scenes and have killed him on the spot to prevent future troubles."

Situ Chong clapped his hands, and two Hidden Dragon Guards carried a corpse in and placed it at Situ Chong's feet. The familiar face of the woman came into everyone's eyes, and the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence, with an inexplicable panic.

"Sheng, my king, how did Ru Ning offend you that you had to kill her? If you don't give me an explanation today, you will never leave this palace."

King Runan slammed the table hard, stood up angrily, leaped to the side of the corpse, hatred in his eyes.

"Don't be angry, King Runan. Princess Runing didn't die innocently. She sent people to kill me like a mad dog. If my husband hadn't arrived in time, I would be the one who turned into a corpse now."

Shangguan Wei stood in front of Situ Chong and explained the matter calmly and calmly.

King Runan took a deep breath, stood up and turned to look at Situ Chong and Shangguan Wei, "Even if Runing was wrong, King Sheng would not be so cruel as to break her neck. I want to kill you now."

Situ Chong said expressionlessly, "Harming and having someone impersonate the princess, both of which are capital crimes, so it is only natural for me to execute her."

After a pause, "The Dark Guards are involved, and the King of Runan is suspected of treason. General Feng has detained the King of Runan and is keeping him under guard. After returning to the capital, my father will determine his guilt."

"Prince Sheng is suspicious without reason. Who gave you the power to imprison me?"

Situ Chong took out a golden token and said, "Based on this token from my father, I have the power to detain you. General Feng, please step forward and listen to my orders."

"I obey your orders. I am sorry for the King of Runan."

General Feng waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him stepped forward to grab the hands of King Runan and locked them behind his back with shackles.

King Runan was so angry that his teeth itched. "King Sheng, remember this. I will fight you to the death."

Situ Chong waved his right hand and said, "General Feng, take the King of Runan down. I have other things to deal with."

"Yes, I will order someone to take him away immediately."

General Feng raised his right hand, and two soldiers dragged King Runan away.

Situ Chong looked at Admiral Xu again, his expression was cold and his tone was extremely serious, "Admiral Xu failed to supervise properly, the assassins came and went freely in the Admiral's Mansion, and conspired with Princess Runing to harm my princess, both crimes are punishable by death, dismissal of the Admiral, demoted to a commoner, and imprisoned for trial and execution."

When these words were spoken, the officials on the field held their breath, lowered their heads and dared not look directly at the enemy, fearing that they would be implicated.

"Your Highness Prince Sheng is innocent. I did not conspire with Princess Runing. She was the only one who did it. I was not involved. Please investigate clearly, Your Highness Prince Sheng."

Admiral Xu was so frightened that his legs cramped. He fell to his knees on the ground, crying bitterly, looking very pitiful.

"Whether it is unfair or not, you can tell after you see her. She is a maid in your house."

Admiral Xu raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the hall. When he saw the person coming, he immediately turned pale with fright.

It's over, it's all over...

The Hidden Dragon Guard led the blue-clothed maid into the hall. Her hands were tied behind her back. Perhaps because she was too scared, her whole body was shaking as she walked. Then she knelt on her knees in the middle of the hall.

Situ Chong's face was stern, and he looked powerful even without being angry. "Tell me what you know, and I will spare your life."

The maid in blue prostrated herself on the ground with her hands, and tremblingly said, "Your Highness Prince Sheng, please spare my life. The Admiral threatened the lives of my family members and asked me to knock Princess Sheng unconscious. I know nothing about the rest."

"What crime should Admiral Xu be charged with? He conspired with others and instigated his subordinates to harm members of the royal family. According to Tianlan law, the minimum penalty is death, and the maximum penalty is execution of all nine generations of his clan."

Situ Chong spoke word by word, staring straight at Admiral Xu with a cold look in his eyes and a suffocating chill emanating from his whole body.

"I plead guilty, and I only ask His Royal Highness Prince Sheng to let my family go and spare their lives."

Admiral Xu slumped on the ground, powerless, with regret and self-blame written all over his face.

"Okay, I promise you."

"The banquet tonight ends here, everyone can go home."
