After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 148 A Sudden Thought

Shi Nuanyu's heart tightened. Did he have another trick up his sleeve?
The emperor glanced at him slowly and said, "Brother, you're going to die sooner or later, so accept your fate."

If he dawdles any longer, he'll have to sleep in the study again tonight.

"Accept fate?"

Prince Anchang boasted arrogantly, "I have planted my men inside and outside the training ground. None of you will escape today, not even Shi Zheng..."

Dan Baiyu rushed over and interrupted him, "Your Majesty, the remaining forces of the Prince of Anchang have been completely wiped out."

The smile on Anchang King's face froze, and he shouted in disbelief and panic.

"Impossible! How could you have seen through my plan?"

The emperor clicked his tongue in displeasure. Troublesome.

The head eunuch waved his hand, and the guards swiftly carried the person away.

King Anchang's frantic shouts echoed throughout the training ground, and ministers who had even a slight connection with him lowered their heads in fear.

After dealing with King Anchang and his remaining followers, the tournament rankings were announced.

Eunuch Liu announced the competition rankings: "In the thirty-sixth year of Yongtai, the third major test, the simulated battlefield exercise, ranked tenth: Group 11, and ninth: Group 8..."

The rankings were announced one by one, but the team that won the championship could not be heard for a long time.

Shi Nuanyu frowned, wondering how the competition had fared after she fell off the cliff.
This competition is crucial to a woman's future and also involves the stakes. If she doesn't even make it into the top ten, how can she fight for the opportunity for women to participate in the imperial examinations, and how can she live up to her promise to Mr. Wen?

Shi Nuanyu carefully considered her options and realized she needed to come up with a new plan.

"The top ten groups, including the champions, will come forward to receive their awards."

"Your Highness, the champion group, please step forward to receive your reward."

Fusheng leaned down and whispered something in her ear, pulling her thoughts back to reality.

Shi Nuanyu suddenly looked up and blinked at Eunuch Liu, who nodded at her with a smile.

She was overjoyed and awkwardly rejoined the team.

They won! They are the champions!

Is it that she lacks self-confidence, or that she doesn't trust her teammates, that she's been so anxious for so long?

Shi Nuanyu wished she could slap herself twice.

Zhenbao, Niuluo, and the others received their rewards amidst the envious gazes of the crowd; they had succeeded.

After all the rewards had been distributed, Shi Nuanyu looked at her emperor father above her with bright eyes and couldn't wait to speak.
"Father, do you still remember what you promised me?"

Upon hearing this, everyone on the training ground held their breath, and the female trainees were on edge.

Meeting his beloved daughter's adoring gaze, the emperor was extremely pleased and waved his hand to issue the order.

"This year, we will be holding a scientific examination, open to all genders and social classes. Anyone with talent is welcome to apply..."

Regardless of gender or social status, anyone with talent is welcome to apply.

Ahhhhh! !! !!

Shi Nuanyu rolled around on the bed excitedly. They did it! Her teammates were amazing, and she was amazing too.

Mr. Wen must be happy now.

Indeed, unity is strength.

Despite having an injured arm and two busy days, she felt full of energy instead of being exhausted.

She noticed it during the competition; before, she would collapse from exhaustion after running just a few hundred meters, but on the day of the competition, she ran all day long.
He's still full of energy. Did he take some kind of magic pill? Let's go ask Qinghe.

"Ah Yuan, do you know where Qinghe is?"

She had been back at the princess's residence for half a day. In the past, he would always come to find her first. Why didn't he come today?

A-Yuan, who was waiting to the side, hesitated before answering, "The Imperial Preceptor will receive his punishment at the Dali Temple."

Shi Nuanyu pressed further, "Punishment? What kind of punishment?"

Why is it another punishment?
Having been in this world for so long, the word she heard most often was "punishment."

"Don't hide this from me."

Changling, presumably free of A Yuan's concerns, answered straightforwardly, "The princess fell off the cliff, His Majesty punished her, and the Imperial Preceptor was also punished."

These three seemingly disjointed sentences clearly explain the matter.

Shi Nuanyu was filled with mixed emotions. After a moment of silence, she decided to go and take a look.

"Please remove my robes."

If your man has a lot on his mind, what can you do if you can't solve it yourself? Just let nature take its course.

The Dali Temple's torture chamber.

The gentle and refined man knelt on the ground as two ruthless officials raised their long sticks and struck him.

After thirty strokes of the rod, Lu Yanghe, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, felt his eyelids ache and winked at the blind, cruel official.

"Lord Lu, please don't make things difficult for them."

Qinghe endured it without changing his expression, his posture as steady as an old tree, not moving an inch.
Who would dare to disobey His Majesty's orders? To allow them to release water would be to disobey the imperial decree.

Lu Yanghe slapped his thigh and sighed, "Tell me what's going on. You made a great contribution by bringing down Prince Anchang, but His Majesty wants to punish you. You're such a frustrated Grand Preceptor."

Sighing, he recalled the past, "Back when the old Imperial Advisor was alive, even the late Emperor had to give him special treatment. But your peaceful days are numbered."

You toil day and night for the royal family, only to be humiliated by Princess Nanyue. What are you after?

He was indignant, for the sake of the Imperial Preceptor and for Shan Baiyu, such a talented young man who had suffered so much.

Thinking of his beloved, Qinghe's eyes softened. "You're wrong. His Highness did not humiliate me."

Instead, she always protected him, respected his wishes, and didn't let go of his hand when he was feeling awkward.

Lu Yang nodded and continued to offer him advice.

"Now that the princess's temperament has improved, who knows, she might turn back into the princess she used to be one day. You should start planning for yourself."

I think the Hua family girl is a good match for you. You should find an opportunity to have a good talk with the princess and ask her to set you free.

Don't end up like my good-for-nothing nephew, who gave his whole heart to the princess.

Whenever he offered advice, he was met with dismissive words.

Qinghe's eyes sharpened, and his face turned colder. "Don't mention this again. I will only ever be Your Highness's husband in this life."

Outside the torture chamber, Shi Nuanyu stood quietly, her mind gradually going blank as she listened to the conversation inside.

The sound of sticks cracking inside was deafening; she no longer had the strength to stop them.

Qinghe's temperament is exactly the same as Fusheng's; once he has made up his mind, he will not change it.

A look of worry flashed across A Yuan's eyes. Just as she was about to speak to remind the people inside, Shi Nuanyu stopped her and gestured for her to leave.

The ruthless official, with his eyes lowered, watched the departing princess with a heavy heart, worried for his master.

Once they saw the person had walked away, one of them quickly went to report it.

Shi Nuanyu went to a teahouse not far from Dali Temple to rest, fiddling with her teacup with a heavy heart.

While other people's opinions may not matter, it still makes me uncomfortable to hear them on the spot.

Yesterday, when she saw Hua Rong's gaze inadvertently fall on Qing He at the training ground, she felt a little strange. She didn't expect that they really knew each other, or that they had known each other for longer than she had imagined.

The current situation is like everyone thinking they are not a good match, but the two of them are stubbornly together.

To be honest, she still felt a little uneasy.

Seeing the princess's worried expression, A-Yuan and the others exchanged glances.

Linglu spoke stiffly, "Princess, let's go and bring Hua Rong here for questioning."

They were assassins before, and didn't understand the complexities of emotions. They only knew that the princess was their master, and they put their master first in everything.

Shi Nuanyu patiently advised, "Don't do anything illegal or disorderly, don't even think about it."

Even if someone has to be tied up, it shouldn't be Hua Rong.

Changling, who had been observing the entrance of Dali Temple, suddenly spoke up, "Princess, Miss Huarong is at the entrance of Dali Temple."

That's how complicated emotions are.
