Reborn Princess

In Prince Xuan's Mansion, Zhou Jingmo was spreading fishing bait beside the pond in the back garden.

An attendant hurried over to report, "Your Majesty, more than a dozen officials in the court suddenly came to accuse you."

Zhou Jingmo stopped what he was doing and looked at the follower, "Would you like to report to me?"

"Yes, it's all because you colluded with foreign officials in private, and..."

"Anything else?" Zhou Jingmo put down the container containing the bait.

"Also, your private behavior is inappropriate and against the dignity of the royal family."

Zhou Jingmo asked calmly, "Is it Zhou Cechen's people?"

The attendant shook his head, "There are the Minister of Revenue, the Vice Minister of Works, and even people from the Imperial Academy."

"The one who has the most contact with these people is Yang Zhen." Zhou Jingmo sneered, "What a great Yang Zhen, what a great Yang family."

"You are saying one thing to my face and another behind my back. You are setting a trap for me."

Zhou Jingmo asked in a cold voice: "Did the emperor say he wanted to summon me?"

"This... has not happened yet."

"It doesn't matter. In his heart, only the crown prince will be the emperor. We princes are just his subjects. If he doesn't think highly of me, then I won't respect him."

"Shen Jing received half of the Shen family's Imperial Ink Order in the letter he sent yesterday. With the other half from Eunuch Chang, I can call on all the armies in the world!"

No one noticed that a figure flashed by the willow tree on the shore.

When Yang Zhen saw his followers impeaching Zhou Jingmo in the court, he was a little confused.

After the court was adjourned, Yang Zhen and Yang Yuanming got into a carriage together.

"Father, did you tell them to do this?" Yang Yuanming paid attention to Yang Zhen's expression.

Yang Zhen's face was gloomy. "How could I be so openly against Zhou Jingmo?"

"Who ordered this? Could it be..."

"Zhou Cechen" Yang Zhen said these three words with a cold face.

"Shi Xuan'an, go find Zhou Jingmo and tell him I want to see him."

After Yang Zhen finished giving his instructions, Shi Xuan'an outside the carriage responded with "yes".

……

"To see the king?" Zhou Jingmo sat on a chair in the hall and looked at Shi Xuan'an.

"Yes, today at 3 pm, at Yulanchun outside the city. Your Majesty, please do not let others find out."

Zhou Jingmo placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, and the tea spilled all over the table.

"Why does the king want to see him?"

"The Prime Minister said that he will help the prince ascend the throne within a month. It depends on whether the prince is willing to go to see him."

Zhou Jingmo glanced at Shi Xuan'an who was bending over and curled his lips.

"See you, my king."

At Yulouchun outside the city of Yanjing, Yang Zhen went upstairs and the servants bowed to him all the way.

After seeing Zhou Jingmo in the room, Yang Zhen curled his lips and said, "The prince is willing to come."

Zhou Jingmo looked at him, "Why? Prime Minister Yang's people reported me in the court, and now they want to come and see me. You are so good at saying one thing in front of me and another behind my back."

Yang Zhen showed no expression. He sat down opposite Zhou Jingmo and said, "Someone wants to break up our alliance."

"Oh? What does Yang Xiang mean?"

"I have no other purpose in inviting you here today, I just want to know whether King Xuan believes in me or not."

Zhou Jingmo raised his eyebrows, "How can I trust you?"

"Zhou Jingmo, you have to know that I am the only one who can help you."

"You know the power I hold."

Yang Zhen's hair was a little gray, but his eyes were clear. He sat opposite Zhou Jingmo in a white robe, looking like an old man who had devoted his life to the country and would not stop until his death.

"Then kill Zhou Cechen first."

When Zhou Jingmo said this, Yang Zhen's eyes flashed with a ripple but quickly returned to calm.

"He must die."

……

In the Prince Ding'an's Mansion, Zhou Cechen stood up in the courtyard with his sword swung by the wind. He held the sword in one hand, and his movements were graceful and elegant.

The sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and the sword body danced lightly in the air, drawing graceful arcs. Every swing was accompanied by a fierce momentum, as if it was going to tear the air apart.

Shen Lilan placed one hand on the windowsill, supporting his face with his hand as he looked at the man swinging a sword in the yard.

She had never dared to hope for such a day.

Just as he was watching with fascination, a cold arrow suddenly shot towards Shen Lilan from a corner of the roof of the yard.

Zhou Cechen reacted immediately and blocked the arrow with his sword.

"Lan'er, hide quickly."

Shen Lilan immediately hid back under the window.

An arrow leaves the bow, and a volley of arrows is fired.

Zhou Cechen blocked all the arrows shot at him with one sword.

Yanci and Tang Song realized something was wrong and immediately rushed into the yard with their men.

The men in black jumped off the wall with their faces covered and stabbed Zhou Cechen with swords.

There was a chaotic fight in the yard, and the group of people seemed determined to take Zhou Cechen's life.

The guards fought desperately to protect each other.

Until finally, the remaining men in black jumped over the wall and escaped.

Yanci took the hilt of the sword with his left hand and pushed it out with his right hand. The sword instantly left his hand and pierced directly into the back of a man in black with a cold light.

The man immediately vomited blood and knelt on the ground.

With a sword at his neck, Tang Song asked in a cold voice, "Who sent you?"

Before the man could say anything, he fell to the ground with a determined look on his face.

Tang Song immediately went to investigate, "Oh no, he committed suicide with poison in his mouth."

Zhou Cechen looked at the dead body lying in the yard and said, "We've dealt with it all."

"But we haven't found out who this person is."

"Besides Yang Zhen and Zhou Jingmo, who else could it be?"

The yard fell into silence, and Shen Lilan pushed open the door and ran out.

"Ah Chen, are you okay?"

Shen Lilan checked Zhou Cechen's body. Zhou Cechen held her and said softly, "I'm not injured. Go back to your room first. The courtyard is filled with murderous aura and blood. You won't be able to bear it."

Shen Lilan looked at those people and asked, "Is it Yang Zhen or Zhou Jingmo?"

Zhou Cechen: "It's still unknown, but now that they have joined forces, it doesn't seem to matter who it is."
