My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

He hadn’t paid close attention to the conversation between Prince Ning’s Commandery Princess and the Emperor of Great Yan.

Only after seeing the Emperor of Great Yan ordering the projection stone’s imagery to be played out.

After watching it.

Li Zhongxin was completely dumbstruck, his mind a mess, unable to sort through his thoughts.

It was only then that he realized.

So, the very Commandery Princess of Prince Ning, who had been competing against him for the imperial throne of Great Yan, was actually the remnant of Great Chu that had been causing unrest in Great Yan all this time!?

This...

Did this not mean that all his scheming against the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning during this time had been in vain?

Even if he had done nothing, the throne would have still fallen into his hands.

Without any accidents.

Li Zhongxin, by all accounts, should have been very happy, but for some reason, he felt unable to feel joy.

Having been defeated by the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning twice in a row was an undeniable fact.

If not for the exposure of her true identity now, the imperial throne of the Great Yan Dynasty would have indeed fallen into her hands.

And he would have no relation to it ever again.

"Father, I want to go help Uncle Longhu,"

Li Zhongxin stepped forward and said.

The Emperor of Great Yan glanced at Li Zhongxin and, harboring affection for his son, whom he had always taken pride in, pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly.

"Go ahead, just don’t cause any trouble for your Uncle Longhu,"

Having received the Emperor of Great Yan’s consent, Li Zhongxin quickly left through mid-air.

......

Dressed in splendid attire and levitating through the power of her Primordial Spirit, the Commandery Princess of Prince Ning turned into a streak of light, darting towards the outskirts of Skyfire City.

At the moment, Skyfire City was no longer safe.

The Commandery Princess herself wasn’t sure if she could escape now that her identity had been exposed, but regardless, to continue staying in Skyfire City meant certain death.

At the same time, the Commandery Princess couldn’t fully trust the old fox, the Emperor of Great Yan, even though he said he wouldn’t harm her.

Would the Emperor of Great Yan suddenly go back on his word afterwards?

And, were his words to her only a superficial excuse?

The Commandery Princess did not know. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She dared not take the risk nor could she afford to.

The people she could rely on by her side seemed very few; the only one she could turn to was currently with Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir.

Town-Nation Duke’s Heir...

The more the Commandery Princess thought about Cheng Guang, the more her lovely brows furrowed; for some reason, upon reflecting, she felt that every word he had said when he came to see her this morning was laden with deeper meaning.

Now that she was trapped in a dire situation, she would soon be surrounded and killed by the forces dispatched by the World Royal Family.

The only person she might ask for help seemed to be Cheng Guang, this enigmatic Town-Nation Duke’s Heir.

The Commandery Princess didn’t know whether Cheng Guang’s visit this morning was simply to warn her that her identity might be exposed.

Her heart was filled with confusion.

Even her own exposure had caught her by surprise.

How could Cheng Guang, the noble Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, have known about it?

Could it be that he knew of the inexplicable changes within her?

Or was it that he knew when she faced the soul-searching trial, the scenes from within her heart would be projected as phantasmal images?

The Commandery Princess’s mind was in turmoil.

As she whisked past the inner city, ensnared by the Power of the Primordial Spirit, she instinctively wanted to flee towards the outer city but hesitated.

She stopped where she was, lost in thought for a moment.

Then she changed direction.

The Commandery Princess decided to meet with Cheng Guang first!

She knew the place where Cheng Guang was staying in Skyfire City.

Within a few breaths, the Commandery Princess had arrived.

Approaching the teahouse, she could immediately see atop the teahouse roof, a noble young master with handsome features and a dashing demeanor, wearing a spring-like smile, standing with his hands behind his back looking at her.

This appearance, as if he’s not surprised at all by my arrival?

The Commandery Princess standing in mid-air, her magnificent features shrouded by the Power of the Primordial Spirit, indistinct, peered through the power at Cheng Guang, the noble Town-Nation Duke’s Heir.

After watching the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir for a moment,

the Commandery Princess heard his lips parting and a clear, gentle voice reaching her ears.

"The Commandery Princess has arrived, why not come down for a cup of tea?"

The tone of the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir was calm, with scant emotions within it, yet his eyes were inviting as they watched her.

The Commandery Princess was puzzled.

Even though it was she who had actively sought him out,

the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir’s invitation, especially his unchanging expression upon seeing her, amidst the scrutiny of the World Royal Family, made her wonder.

Is he not afraid at all?

After a moment of thought, the Commandery Princess slowly descended, her lithe body touching down before Cheng Guang, the scent of her fine clothes gently wafting as she landed.

Her regal features didn’t change as her starry eyes looked at Cheng Guang.

"Princely Heir, my identity has now been exposed. Did you already know of my identity and come to warn me this morning?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Guang smiled and nodded.

The Commandery Princess gazed into Cheng Guang’s eyes, and seeing his reaction, she caught her breath momentarily, then continued, "Then why didn’t you just reveal my identity on the spot?"

Instead, Cheng Guang asked, "Had I done so, would you have believed me?"

The Commandery Princess shook her head, "No, I wouldn’t."

"I never thought my identity would be exposed for there was not a single flaw upon me, except in my heart..."

Having said this, the Commandery Princess bit her lip lightly, the experience at the soul-searching trial indelible in her memory, unwilling to be forgotten.
