The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 123 System Changes

What is a bolt from the blue? This is it.

He was just thinking about using his immunity to save his life when this bolt from the blue struck.

He was just an innocent, pure, and honest man. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why did God treat him like this?!

He covered his face and wept. The crown prince, fearing that Zheng Xun would find it strange, kicked him aside.

Next, Zheng Xun interrogated more than a dozen people, starting with the deputy commander.

Those who hadn't done anything wrong were lucky enough to escape unscathed. Zheng Xun wasn't interested in their little quirks; as long as they hadn't done anything wrong in the major respects, she wouldn't go so far as to expose everyone's dirty laundry.

Now, Zheng Xun's superpowers have increased. He can see ordinary people less often, but he can see more scandals involving public officials.

Why would this happen? Zheng Xun speculates it's because of privacy.

Although the system is called the "gossip system," it's more of a gimmick. It actually hopes that the host will use it to collect information that is detrimental to the Great Yong Dynasty.

Zheng Xun had a feeling that the system would disappear when it could no longer participate in those gossip sessions.

She didn't intend to overuse her powers, so this would be the end of the day.

Those who were not examined by Zheng Xun remained in a state of confusion from beginning to end.

They didn't understand why the so-called inspection involved Zheng Xun staring at one person for a while, and then everyone remained silent for a moment before a conclusion was reached.

However, not long after Zheng Xun left, the Qinglong Guards arrived with evidence and took Cai Sen and another person away.

Cai Sen was about to say something about the get-out-of-jail-free card, but before he could even open his mouth, his tongue was cut out and he was thrown into prison.

His family wanted to ransom him after they heard the news, but no one would give them that chance.

That get-out-of-jail-free card "just happened" to be lost on the way, and without being able to play his last trump card, he could only leave in a hurry.

The emperor looked at the pardon he had brought back, and without hesitation, he put it in his mouth and took a bite. Hmm, it was solid.

The late emperor was truly wealthy.

He sighed, then melted down the gold medal and made a gold hairpin for Zheng Xun.

From then on, Zheng Xun had an extra task every day: to patrol.

To avoid gossip, the crown prince was forced to go with her.

A few days later, the emperor suddenly realized that having Zheng Xun do all the work alone was not a solution.

Not only was she exhausted, but she also didn't know if the system would disappear. She had clearly decided not to become dependent on it, but the system was too useful and could easily make her lazy.

So he separated the Crown Prince and Zheng Xun, and had the Crown Prince go and investigate first.

This certainly made things easier for Zheng Xun, but the Crown Prince was exhausted.

So, three days later, during a morning court session, he fell asleep standing up. Because he fell so suddenly, no one had time to catch him.

His sleep nearly scared the ministers in the hall to death.

Fortunately, the pain from hitting his head was so intense that he woke up on his own.

Finding himself lying on the ground, he ignored the wound on his forehead and said embarrassedly, "Well, I was just too sleepy."

The emperor, unusually, felt guilty for a moment. He instructed Li Xiaojun to take people to find the imperial physician for bandaging, and then mercifully granted him a day off.

Of course, Zheng Xun is inevitably involved in holidays.

Although she looked radiant and showed no signs of fatigue.

The Fifth Prince, who was also exhausted from being busy, was overwhelmed with anger and his head was spinning. Wasn't he the emperor's son? Why wasn't he given a holiday?

After court, Zheng Jin asked her in confusion, "Aren't you tired? I see you're busier than the Crown Prince every day..."

Zheng Xun smiled and said, "I'm just born to be busy; I can't stay idle."

How can you get what you want without putting in the effort?

Zheng Jin was skeptical, but didn't press further: "You'll be free after the morning court session today, right? You don't need to be busy tomorrow, and you don't need to come to the morning court session either. Why don't we go to the imperial estate for some fun?"

The sisters are getting together less and less often.

"Tomorrow, I have something to do this afternoon."

The third prince quickly asked, "May I go?"

Zheng Jin smiled faintly: "It's not appropriate for us to go to the hot springs. We'll definitely do it next time."

Just kidding, she's not going to let anyone else interfere since her sister finally has time to spend with her.

The Fifth Prince also joined in the fun: "The imperial estate has more than one hot spring, why don't you take us with you?"

Zheng Jin glanced at him and smiled, "Didn't you say you were busy? You seem to have a lot of things to do. I'll definitely do it next time."

Fifth Prince: ...

If you don't want to go with him, just say so. Why do you have to hurt him so much?

Is he a very mean person?

The Third Prince patted him on the shoulder helplessly: "You're never going to get anything out of it, so why do you always have to go and try to please them..."

The Fifth Prince said nonchalantly, "They didn't agree to let me go, but they also refused you. Why are you comforting me?"

The Third Prince gave him a tolerant look, as if he were an idiot: "You wouldn't understand."

The Fifth Prince couldn't help but roll his eyes.

At that moment, an official in the distance called out to the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince's face instantly darkened: "Hurry up, hurry up, are you trying to kill me?!"

He walked toward the official, cursing and swearing. When he got close to the official, he resumed his gentle demeanor, but the Third Prince could clearly see that there seemed to be a thick, inky aura of resentment hovering above his head.

He suddenly woke up with a start.

Judging from the way Yuan Jia and his father are now, they're so powerful that they'd probably grab a bird and use it as a fan if it passed by. Could he be the next one to be exploited?

Thinking of Zheng Jin, who often stayed up late reading, and the Crown Prince, who was so busy he collapsed, he shuddered.

So...so scary.

Or should he find a chance to slip away?

However, the Great Yong Kingdom is now facing the crisis of being destroyed. Isn't it a bit heartless of him to run away now?

He couldn't do such a thing!

He shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.

Meanwhile, Zheng Xun and Zheng Jin had already separated.

When she said she had something to do, she meant leaving the palace.

Although she had a pass to leave the palace, she still informed the emperor beforehand, considering his past sensitivity to this matter.

The emperor agreed, but openly sent Xiang Chen with a team of Qinglong Guards to follow, while secretly arranging a team of about ten secret guards.

Zheng Xun has extremely strong perception, so of course he knows these things.

However, she did not refuse.

As for things like freedom and privacy, she had no such concerns.

A wise person doesn't stand under a crumbling wall. Although she is powerful, she is not arrogant. There are always many people watching her, waiting for the moment she relaxes her guard.

Will she give them a chance?

That's definitely not possible.

Therefore, she was even more eager for the emperor to assign more people.

Xiang Chen was a real character; standing before the Azure Dragon Guards, he resembled a proud peacock.

They used to laugh at him when he tried to curry favor with Wang Ergou, but now that he's with the princess, he has less to do and gets more money. Does he regret it now? Is he jealous?

Hey, it didn't work.

Unfortunately, there is only one Xiang Chen. Not just anyone can be a princess. There is only one Xiang Chen in this world.
