CHAPTER 658: CHAPTER 645: THE DOOMED PRINCESS 12

Anning began her career in child rearing.

She and Xue He barely managed anything, spending all day at home raising children.

Until the news came that Elder Xue was seriously ill, Anning took the children to Consort Huang in the palace to have her help with them for a few days, and she and Xue He went to the Xue Family.

By this time, Liu Meiniang had also escaped from prison.

No one knew how she got out, but the prison was in a complete mess because of her. Not only had she escaped, she also let out quite a number of other prisoners.

Until Elder Xue died, while Anning and Xue He were holding the funeral at the Xue Family, they heard the news that Zhao Hongwen and Liu Ruolan were dead.

They were killed by Liu Meiniang.

After killing them, Liu Meiniang fled and even abandoned her child.

The government issued a wanted notice to capture Liu Meiniang, but they searched for many days without a trace.

After Elder Xue’s funeral was over, Anning and Xue He captured Liu Meiniang.

It turned out that Liu Meiniang had snuck into the Princess Mansion intending to assassinate Anning.

Having caught her, Anning locked her in a sealed room where, apart from being provided with food and water through a window slot, no one was allowed to come close to Liu Meiniang.

After waiting for a few days, unable to bear it, Liu Meiniang entered the space she brought with her in her rebirth.

She originally planned to hide in the space, and when the people of the Princess Mansion noticed her disappearance and searched for her, she would take the opportunity to escape—the same method she had used to escape from prison. Liu Meiniang wanted to try it again.

Unfortunately, she found the space sealed after entering and realized she could not leave.

Liu Meiniang’s space wasn’t large, just about the size of a room, with a well in the middle that produced a bowl of spiritual spring water daily, nothing more.

Liu Meiniang had stored some food in the space, but there wasn’t much, and she would soon consume it all within a few days.

Not only was food and drink a problem, but so was relieving herself.

Unable to leave her space, it only took a few days before Liu Meiniang was done for.

She tried many ways, but couldn’t get out no matter what she did.

After several days, almost starving to death, the sealing of the space disappeared, and she tumbled out from the space.

She was overjoyed and just about to cause some trouble when she was immediately caught and tied up with ropes.

At that time, Liu Meiniang was so starved that she had no strength and couldn’t even struggle after being bound.

What’s worse, Liu Meiniang’s space disappeared.

Anning had Liu Meiniang tied up and sent to Yingtian Prefecture where, because she had committed murder, she was sentenced to be executed after the autumn.

With Liu Meiniang dealt with, Anning and Xue He no longer had other matters to attend to.

Xue He’s uncles and aunts had originally wanted to cause trouble, but Anning exerted her authority as a Princess and frightened them into backing down, everyone becoming exceedingly docile.

A few years later, Xue He became the top scorer and started his official career at court.

And Anning gradually began to intervene in state affairs.

Another decade or so passed, and Emperor Xiande passed away, with the Crown Prince ascending the throne. By this time, Xue He had reached a very high position.

He assisted the new Emperor for about a decade before retiring to return home.

He and Anning lived a very leisurely life, traveling together through the vastness of Jiangnan and beyond, only returning to the Capital after Consort Huang died.

Having completed a lifetime, Anning and Xue He died at the same time.

When Anning opened her eyes again, she couldn’t figure out where she was.

She didn’t return to the Nihility Space nor any other world; she seemed to linger in the void.

Then, a flash of light passed by, and Anning lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she felt like she had shifted to another time and space.

This time, she arrived in the Nihility Space, where she stayed for a long time before figuring out what was going on.

She was actually booted out of that world by the Main God.

Mainly, if Anning had just schemed quietly, the Main God wouldn’t have done much.

But, Anning sealed many Task Takers sent by the Main God into one world, and then meddled with a world controlled by the Main God, which caused a significant commotion and truly angered the Main God.

The Main God, even at the risk of damaging himself, wanted to suppress Anning and Xiao Yuan.

However, the Main God found that he couldn’t kill these two.

They had grown too quickly without his knowledge, and their powers had become incredibly vast, beyond the control of the Main God.

Unable to kill them but also unable to let them run unchecked as their interventions could be major trouble, the Main God had no choice but to kick them out of his controlled worlds.

The Main God’s intention was I can’t afford to provoke you, and you can’t afford to provoke me, so let’s just part ways. You go cause trouble somewhere else, however you please.

Now Anning didn’t know where she had escaped to, and losing the coordinates of the Main God’s worlds, it became difficult for her to find her way back.

Without any better options, Anning had to first seal her true form and enter a minor world through the Spirit God. She had to observe the trajectory of this larger world before slowly searching for the way back.

She quickly found a minor world to enter after sealing her true form.

Anning slept for quite a while this time.

When she woke up, she felt sore and weak all over. Moving slightly, her head hurt terribly.

Anning opened her eyes to look around.

She found herself in another ancient world, in the room of a lady from a boudoir.

How to describe this room? The decorations and furnishings were particularly luxurious, the entire room exuded richness and splendor.

She carefully observed the characteristics of the furniture and the decor in the room, and after a moment, she knew that this was an era similar to the Ming and Qing Dynasty period that she had visited before.

Glass products had already appeared here.

For instance, there was a glass mirror on the dressing table in the room, and on the case on another side, there was a mantel clock.

Evidently, this time-space was already very close to modern times.

After figuring out which time-space she was in, Anning wanted to close her eyes and rest again, while also receiving the memories of her original body.

She closed her eyes, but she couldn’t find the original body’s memories no matter what.

Her mind was a blank slate.

Anning wasn’t in a rush. She went back to sleep, and upon waking up, she heard footsteps approaching.

"Miss, Second Miss and Third Miss have come to see you."

A maid with her hair just pinned up opened the curtains, grinning as she looked at Anning.

Anning tried to sit up but found it somewhat strenuous.

A maid by her side quickly helped her sit up, "Do you feel better, Miss?"

Anning coughed, opened her mouth, and realized her voice was incredibly hoarse, "Better."

Then, Anning heard many footsteps and a crisp voice coming to her ears: "Is Big Sister feeling better? Third Sister and I have always wanted to see Big Sister, but we were afraid that Big Sister would be too ill and would be annoyed by our visit."

Following that, two girls around twelve or thirteen years old hurried in.

The two young ladies were of similar age, dressed in equally bright clothes, with round faces and large eyes, looking quite cute.
