When news of the deposed Crown Prince reached the Capital City, Princess Chang Le fell right off her Imperial Concubine Chair.
Shen Longjin was startled and quickly scooped her up.
"Your Highness, are you hurt?"
Of course, it hurt.
But Princess Chang Le couldn't be bothered with the pain right now. She turned to Yuanbao, who had come to deliver the news, and asked again, "Is what you said true?"
"It's absolutely true. The deposed Crown Prince is already being personally escorted back to the Capital by Commander Shen. The Emperor has also issued a decree appointing Prince Rui as regent to oversee the Court's affairs." Yuanbao's face was full of joy.
"This is wonderful!" Overjoyed, Princess Chang Le gave Shen Longjin a kiss on the cheek. "You truly are my lucky star."
Shen Longjin froze for a moment, looking down at the woman in his arms.
Princess Chang Le didn't notice his strange reaction and spoke directly to Yuanbao, "Has Prince Rui received the news?"
