move from handing it to her.
In the end, Nangong Yan accepted the snacks expressionlessly.
Dabao gave another piece to Prince Yan before eating heartily.

Nangong Yan noticed that Dabao gave her and Prince Yan the big one, but he ate a small one.
Although she was unwilling, she had to admit that this was indeed the most sensible child she had ever seen.

Unfortunately, it was the flesh and blood of her enemy.

Her eyes turned cold.

The carriage did not bring Dabao and Prince Yan to the altar.
Halfway there, Nangong Yan changed carriages and asked the sacrificial soldiers and guards to escort Prince Yan and Dabao to a place that no one knew about.

By the time Nangong Yan arrived at the altar, it was already surrounded by the commoners.

The Emperor’s medicine had yet to wear off, so he could not speak or act.
Therefore, the three dukes, the State Preceptor Hall, and the Gu Hall were in charge of the overall situation.
The Censor, the few Gu Elders of the Gu Hall, and the State Preceptor who had rushed out of seclusion last night sat on both sides of the altar.

Helian Beiming and the three generals sat on the other side of the altar.

“The Little Princess has arrived—”

“Commandery Prince Li has arrived—”

Accompanied by the servant’s message, Nangong Yan and Nangong Li slowly walked over from the back of the crowd.
After not seeing each other for many days, the two of them had lost some weight.
The haggardness on their faces was vaguely covered by makeup.
They were dressed in luxurious clothes and looked noble.
As expected of the royal family who had been raised in the palace since they were young.

The commoners knelt on one knee.

Under everyone’s kneeling, the mother and son walked to the altar.

“The Little Princess is already here.
Why isn’t the Eldest Princess here yet?”


“That’s right.
It’s already so late.
Could it be that she doesn’t dare to appear?”

“She was raised by the commoners and is not presentable.
She’s probably afraid.”

“The Eldest Princess and Commandery Princess Wan both grew up among the commoners.
Could they be shameful?”

There were unpleasant voices in the crowd.
Helian Beiming frowned and was about to stop them when he heard the loud and clear voice of the imperial eunuch not far away.

“The Eldest Princess has arrived—”

“Commandery Princess Wan has arrived—”

Everyone turned around!

A young woman alighted from a carriage that was not too eye-catching.
She was wearing a light yellow dress.
Her figure was slender and she had a quiet and graceful temperament.
She looked noble, but she did not have the arrogance of being superior.

“It’s Commandery Princess Wan!”

Some commoners recognized her.

Yu Wan was not wearing the clothes of the royal family, but her every move exuded a noble temperament.
She reached out a fair wrist and helped another woman down from the carriage.

The woman was wearing a white shirt and a translucent golden gauze dress.
The morning light enveloped her body.
For a moment, everyone was in a daze, as if they could see a phoenix flapping its wings.

However, it was only for a moment.
She held her handkerchief and coughed softly.

Everyone instantly came back to their senses.
They heard that this Princess’s health was not good.
It seemed to be true.

When everyone heard the heartbreaking cough, they felt their hearts ache for her.
However, even though she was sick, she still had a calm temperament and was elegant.

Compared to the overbearing Little Princess, the Eldest Princess’s weakness and quietness was even more deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

Everyone held their breaths.
There was no need for the guards to clear the area at all.
They spontaneously made way for her, afraid that they would accidentally touch her and damage this weak Princess.

The altar that was previously noisy instantly became silent, leaving only Madam Jiang’s occasional low cough.

Grew up among the commoners? Unpresentable?


Other than being weaker, the Princess did not lose to Nangong Yan.

Yu Wan helped her mother to the altar.
Everyone bowed to them.

“Give her a seat,” the censor said.

A guard brought a chair over.
Yu Wan helped Madam Jiang sit down.
Yu Shaoqing alighted from the carriage with the mother and daughter and also came to the scene.
He sat beside Helian Beiming.

“The State Preceptor has come out of seclusion?” Yu Shaoqing saw the State Preceptor on the altar.

Helian Beiming said, “He came out of seclusion last night.”

Yu Shaoqing snorted.
“He knows how to make it in time!”

Helian Beiming said, “Nangong Yan probably calculated the day he came out of seclusion before daring to set a three-day agreement.” Otherwise, she could also set a ten-day agreement.

Yu Shaoqing raised his eyebrows and said, “But so what if he comes? The first thing is Gu technique.
They’ll definitely lose!”

The most powerful Gu Master in Nangong Yan’s hands was surnamed Meng, and he was a seventy-feet Gu Elder.
Ah Wei’s Gu technique was above his, so there was almost no suspense in the first round.

Helian Beiming looked at the calm State Preceptor.
“I keep feeling that things aren’t that simple.”

As expected, when the Censor announced that both sides would send out their respective Gu Masters, Nangong Yan’s opponent was not Gu Master Meng at all.
It was a man in a black cloak.
He was in his late twenties, tall, and had dark eyes.

The moment he walked onto the altar, the Gu Elders of the Gu Hall widened their eyes.

“Ten-hundred feet Gu Elder!!!” Gu Elder Song said.

The man’s lips curled up.
He untied his cloak and casually threw it away.
A powerful aura covered the sky.

Elder Song Gu’s expression changed.
“Gu-Gu Venerable!!!”
