Chapter 50: Third Princess and Empress’s Showdown, Empress’s Victory!

The words were like a ray of sunshine that had entered Shu Xiangdie’s heart.

And in an instant, they had dispelled all the darkness in her heart.

“Originally, the Dao Companion Theory had this layer of meaning!”

Shu Xiangdie’s eyes sparkled, and her eyes flashed with tears.

She had read this book from a young age, and she thought she had understood all its contents.

But unexpectedly, she had completely misunderstood it.

Empress Qingyue’s true intentions were far beyond her understanding.

And when everything became clear, Shu Xiangdie’s heart was completely enlightened.

Her love was not wrong.

What was wrong was that she had misinterpreted Empress Qingyue’s intentions.

Feeling the heat in her chest, Shu Xiangdie raised her head, and her eyes were filled with determination.

She sincerely bowed her head:

“Thank you, Empress. I understand now.

I will definitely pursue my love boldly and will not give up again!”

“Good.”

After the white mist had cleared, Chu Qingyue nodded in satisfaction.

She also felt a little happy about promoting a good marriage.

She suddenly asked with interest:

“By the way, I heard your description, and the person you love is an outstanding individual who has entered the Three Emperors’ Mausoleum.

Tell me, which sect is he from?

Is he a prince from the Western Xia Kingdom or the first Saint from the Tai Ming Sacred Lands?”

“Neither.”

Shu Xiangdie smiled sweetly and shook her head:

“He is in the Heavenly Cloud Palace, and Empress, you may even know him.”

“In the Heavenly Cloud Palace?”

Chu Qingyue immediately became interested.

She couldn’t believe that there was such an outstanding individual in the Heavenly Cloud Palace.

However, she had rarely been in contact with the disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Palace and couldn’t even name more than five of them.

After thinking for a while, Chu Qingyue still couldn’t think of a suitable person and had to say:

“Just say his name.

If he is really as you described, I can ask the Great Elder to pay more attention to him and give him more guidance.”

“Thank you, Empress!”

Shu Xiangdie’s voice was barely audible, and she seemed a little shy.

Finally, she stammered out: “His name is… Nie Chen.”

“?!”

“Nie Chen!”

The air seemed to freeze.

Chu Qingyue felt her brain was in a mess, and she was stunned.

She forced herself to calm down and recall the whole process.

“So, this girl was originally unsure if she really loved Nie Chen.

She was troubled by her emotions and came to me.

After my persuasion, she finally understood her heart and decided to confess to Nie Chen?”

What was going on?!

Chu Qingyue almost vomited blood.

“Thank you, Empress, for your guidance. I have decided to go and find Nie Chen and express my feelings to him.”

At the same time, Shu Xiangdie confidently and gratefully bowed to Chu Qingyue and was about to leave.

“Wait! Don’t go!”

Chu Qingyue suddenly panicked and stopped her.

“Uh?”

Shu Xiangdie was clearly stunned.

“No, I mean…”

Chu Qingyue was tangled in her thoughts and tried to come up with an excuse.

Finally, she had an idea and said with a stern expression:

“Hmph! You are really bold to talk about romance in front of me, the author of the Dao Companion Theory!”

“But didn’t you tell me, Empress, that if it’s true love, I can boldly pursue it?

Doesn’t it matter even if I hold hands with the person I love?”

Shu Xiangdie was completely stunned.

“That was just a test, a strategy I came up with.”

Chu Qingyue’s expression was stern, and she radiated an aura of inviolability:

“I said those words to test your determination.

But I didn’t expect your heart to be so fragile, to be swayed by just a few words and want to confess.”

Chu Qingyue sighed: “You have potential, so I was willing to guide you and help you correct your mistakes.

All of this is for your own good, and I must find a way to correct your wrong thoughts.”

After finishing, Chu Qingyue shouted loudly to the outside:

“Come in! Take Shu Xiangdie to the Reflection Cliff and have her reflect on her actions.

Also, send ten disciples to recite the Dao Companion Theory to her every day.

Only when she can recite the contents of the Dao Companion Theory in her sleep can she be released!”

Two Great Elders immediately rushed into the hall and seized Shu Xiangdie.

Shu Xiangdie’s mind was a mess.

“This is not right! This situation is really not right!

Empress, you have completely changed!

There must be some misunderstanding!”

“Empress, you are mistaken! I have already fallen in love with Nie Chen.

I don’t want to go to the Reflection Cliff, and I don’t want to read the Dao Companion Theory anymore.

Please let me go and confess to Nie Chen!”

Shu Xiangdie struggled and shouted.

“She has been possessed by evil spirits, and that’s why she has such absurd thoughts.

Take her away! As long as she is locked up long enough and listens to the Dao Companion Theory every day, she should be cured.”

Chu Qingyue seemed to be sighing and looked at the two Great Elders.

“Not bad, Empress. You can see that Shu Xiangdie’s spiritual core has been possessed by evil spirits.”

The two Great Elders admired Chu Qingyue’s insight and dragged Shu Xiangdie out of the hall.

“Wait, Empress! I really haven’t been possessed!”

No matter how hard Shu Xiangdie tried to defend herself, it was useless.

Soon, she was dragged to the Reflection Cliff, and several disciples surrounded her, reciting the Dao Companion Theory over and over…

“Stop! Please stop!”

Shu Xiangdie could only curl up in a corner, pitifully covering her ears.

“Ah, what a relief.”

In the hall, Chu Qingyue finally relaxed and leisurely ate grapes.

As she thought about the situation, she couldn’t help but feel a little amused.

Fortunately, she had asked Shu Xiangdie about the person she loved.

Otherwise, it would have been a disaster.

‘And that Nie Chen!’

Chu Qingyue stomped her foot in anger.

She couldn’t believe that he had already gotten involved with someone.

When he returns, she will definitely teach him a lesson!
