453: identity

"A good view certainly deserves good wine."

Mu Mian frost waved her sleeve.

A whirlpool formed in the lake, and from it, a jade wine jar flew out.

The mud on it was still damp, and it hadn't been unsealed.

The wine jar itself carried the fresh scent of water and the natural freshness of the outdoors.

Vermilion Bird broke the seal and poured some into a wine pot.

The cups were also made of jade.

Filled with wine, the clear jade cups shimmered, making one want to drink cup after cup.

After doing all this, Vermilion Bird glanced at Mu Mian frost and then disappeared.

Mu Mian frost extended her hand, "Please sit, Brother Jiang. It's been many years. I've missed you. Ever since you left, I haven't had anyone to confide in.

Now that you're back, I'm delighted.

Tonight, we drink until we drop."

After sitting down.

Little White looked at the banquet table, a little restless.

It was small, so Mu Mian frost specially made a chair for it on the spot.

Little White could sit on the chair with its front paws on the table.

The table was laden with various delicacies.

Mu Mian frost raised her cup, "Brother Jiang, Huanhuan, Little White, let's toast first."

Jiang Ning raised his wine cup and drained it in one gulp.

The wine entered his stomach.

It released abundant Spiritual Qi and something that could "cleanse" the Divine Soul, making his Divine Soul feel much lighter.

"Good wine!"

Shen Jinhuan stared at the wine cup.

Such wine, capable of purifying the Divine Soul, a single cup's value was not low.

Little White was silly.

It just kept saying "Delicious," "Delicious."

Jiang Ning asked, "Miss Mu, what kind of wine is this?"

"This wine is called Heavenly Dew White. The wine itself is excellent spiritual wine, but this wine jar can absorb the essence of nature. After being sealed, the natural essence and the wine merge.

That's how it gains the effect of cleansing the Divine Soul.

Other wines make you dizzier the more you drink, but this wine makes you clearer the more you drink.

The closer you are to nature, the lighter your Divine Soul feels."

Mu Mian frost explained with a smile.

As she spoke, the wine pot moved on its own, refilling Jiang Ning and the others' cups.

Jiang Ning nodded. Being close to nature was never wrong.

In the past, when he was tired from work, going on a scenic trip would instantly lift his spirits, it was the same principle.

After three rounds of wine.

Mu Mian frost asked, "Brother Jiang, have you found a way to recover your body?"

Jiang Ning shook his head.

"It's very difficult."

Mu Mian frost took out a jade box from her Storage Ring and opened it, "Inside is a seven-colored dao lotus. Would you like to try this?"

Jiang Ning waved his hand, "It's too valuable."

"Consider it a loan from me."

Mu Mian frost smiled casually.

Jiang Ning still refused.

He estimated that once he reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, his body would naturally recover.

But the seven-colored dao lotus was too valuable; he couldn't accept it. In matters of human relationships, the human connection was the most expensive.

Mu Mian frost said, "Brother Jiang still has reservations about me."

She spoke very directly.

Mu Mian frost said, "How about this, I'll reintroduce myself. Perhaps Brother Jiang's reservations about me will lessen, after all, trust has a foundation."

Mu Mian frost said seriously, "My real name is actually Zhao Mianshuang, the Sixth Princess of the Imperial Family."

Imperial Family... Sixth Princess.

Jiang Ning, Shen Jinhuan, and Little White were all too stunned to speak.

Jiang Ning pondered in his mind.

In the novel, there didn't seem to be a character named the Sixth Princess.

How did this Sixth Princess just pop up?

Could it be that Mu Mian frost was lying to him?

No... Jiang Ning suddenly remembered.

There was a Sixth Princess!

In the original work, Third Prince Zhao Chongan used the Sixth Princess's death as a pretext to involve a group of Prefects in order to expand his influence.

The Sixth Princess died at the hands of a Prefect.

Recalling their first meeting.

Mu Mian frost... Zhao Mianshuang, dressed in black, entered Jiang Ning's guest room.

Jiang Ning shivered.

If not for his Small World, Zhao Mianshuang wouldn't have escaped Zuo Mingyu's grasp.

Zhao Mianshuang died at that time!

Zuo Mingyu had been hiding it... He hadn't done it flawlessly. The Third Prince knew the inside story, but merely chose an opportune moment to expose it!

Everything made sense now.

Jiang Ning: "I didn't expect Miss Mu... Miss Zhao to be the Sixth Princess."

Mu Mian frost gave a bitter smile, "I wanted to tell Brother Jiang back then, but unfortunately, my identity couldn't be easily revealed. When I went to Yunhai Prefecture, it was to investigate the matter of Prefect of Yunhai Zuo Mingyu.

The Prefect of Yunhai is one of my Fourth Prince brother's people.

Although Yunhai is remote, normally nothing happens, so my Imperial Brother might not think of it, but if something did happen, my Imperial Brother would definitely know.

Coupled with the restrictions of my identity.

I staged a play in the Imperial Capital, making everyone believe I was in the Imperial City, while I secretly went to investigate myself.

What I did was indeed flawless.

Zuo Mingyu also didn't know my identity, but unfortunately, I overestimated my own strength and underestimated Zuo Mingyu's strength.

Anyone who can become a Prefect in Great Qian is not simple.

If not for Brother Jiang's protection, I would either be dead by now or fallen into the hands of my Fourth Prince brother, serving as a trump card."

"So that's how it is."

Listening to this, Jiang Ning felt that the Imperial Family was truly dangerous, with siblings showing no familial affection.

"But isn't the Fourth Prince afraid your Imperial Father would find out? After all, what happens in secret is one thing, but if it's brought into the open, it wouldn't make sense, right?"

"Great Qian is not as simple as Brother Jiang thinks. This is an Immortal Dynasty, not a Mortal Dynasty." Mu Mian frost took a sip of wine, "My Imperial Father alone has over a hundred consorts.

Many Imperial Princes and Princesses die each year, but there are still over twenty remaining.

The Imperial Palace is like raising Gu.

The Imperial Princes and Princesses are all Gu worms; whoever becomes the Gu King has the right to inherit the great throne.

Gu worms are consumables.

Does Brother Jiang understand?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

The struggles of an Immortal Dynasty were indeed more brutal than those of the Mortal world.

In the original work, the First Prince Zhao Chengyu also killed all the other Imperial Princes before ascending to the throne.

Behind this were Yun Qingyao and Gu Yanqing acting as puppeteers.

When Jiang Ning read the novel, he felt that although the First Prince was "honest and simple," he was not suitable to be an emperor.

An emperor relying on "honesty and simplicity" could not accomplish great things, and if he mistakenly trusted treacherous officials, there could even be a risk of national demise.

Thinking about it now.

How could the other ambitious Imperial Princes be willing to cooperate with Yun Qingyao?

Even the Third Prince, who was Yun Qingyao's devoted follower, despite his loyalty to Yun Qingyao, had his own ideas and wouldn't truly act according to Yun Qingyao and Gu Yanqing's instructions.

In the end, the First Prince and Third Prince clashed, and the Third Prince voluntarily gave up the throne for Yun Qingyao and committed suicide.

All the forces behind him were also absorbed.

You shouldn't follow a master who is a love-struck fool.

Jiang Ning deeply agreed.

"Does the Princess wish to achieve great things?"

"You should still call me Miss Zhao. Among all these identities, the one I can't let go of the most is 'Princess,' and the one I hate the most is also 'Princess'."

Zhao Mianshuang said, "I want to achieve something. I feel that Great Qian's accumulated problems are too deep. If we don't reform soon, it will inevitably be replaced by other forces in the future. I love Great Qian.

I don't want Great Qian to decline.

Therefore, only I can take charge of Great Qian!"
