Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: Settling Accounts with the Heavenly Court!
Night.
Everyone had already gone back to their places, and Bai Zhi’er was preparing to sleep.
Qingmei came in from outside to adjust her bedding.
Bai Zhi’er looked at her, blinking her bright, round eyes.
"Sister Qingmei, I heard from Brother Fu Ce that because of me, he needs to take care of me, so the Xiuluo Guard is temporarily being managed by Brother Chu Ping, and your wedding date is also being delayed. I feel a bit sorry."
Qingmei quickly said: "My good Princess, what are you saying!"
"As long as you are healthy and safe, what difference does it make if I get married later? Are we afraid that Chu Ping will run away?"
Qingmei and Bai Zhi’er looked at each other and laughed.
"However, Princess, were you especially good to the Marquis today? When Prince Rui and the others left, they were still secretly discussing it."
Bai Zhi’er had a gentle smile on her face: "Good to him? Not really, just like him a bit more than usual."
Qingmei widened her eyes, making sure she hadn’t misheard.
"Like? Princess, do you like the Marquis?"
Bai Zhi’er blinked her eyelashes and did not answer.
Qingmei felt that her question was foolish.
No wonder Chu Ping always said that the Marquis Wan does anything for the Princess willingly.
The Princess could even order him to jump into the river, and he would leap in without hesitation!
Qingmei clicked her tongue: "Well... that’s... nothing much."
Bai Zhi’er couldn’t help but laugh at her tone.
"Sister Qingmei, why do you seem so surprised?"
"Because usually, it’s always the Marquis revolving around the Princess, and Your Highness hasn’t shown much affection. That’s why I didn’t notice."
Bai Zhi’er thought for a moment: "Hmm, is that so?"
Qingmei would soon see her change.
After a short chat, Qingmei left, and Bai Zhi’er prepared to sleep.
Before sleeping, the howling cold wind outside kept her awake.
In the darkness, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, her delicate voice carrying a hint of complaint: "So noisy."
Almost instantly, the wind stopped quietly.
Bai Zhi’er was taken aback.
She realized that now the seal in her body had been broken by the Heavenly Tribulation.
Calling wind and rain, controlling the sound of the wind, these were effortless.
Thinking of the Heavenly Tribulation, Bai Zhi’er’s eyes suddenly deepened.
She immediately closed her eyes, and her Divine Sense flew straight to the nine layered heaven!
Bai Zhi’er had not forgotten to thoroughly investigate why the Heavenly Thunder had harmed innocent people!
When her figure appeared in the Thunder Punishment Department, all the Divine Officers on duty were shocked.
They each put down what they were doing and shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"
The Thunder Punishment Department is responsible for the execution of all kinds of Heavenly Thunders.
It includes not only the release of lightning during a demon’s tribulation but also in the mortal world. Whenever someone breaks an oath, they are monitored by the Thunder Punishment Department.
The saying "struck by lightning" comes from this.
"Call your Chief Officer out." Bai Zhi’er stepped inside, her immortal dress giving her an ethereal presence.
The girl spun around and sat on the main chair.
Soon, the Main God of the Thunder Punishment Department hurriedly arrived and shouted for the Emperor.
Bai Zhi’er spared him from the formalities and straightforwardly asked, "If I remember correctly, one of the Thunder Punishment Department’s duties is not to harm the innocent."
"Why did the thunder strike me during that snake demon’s tribulation the other day?!"
The Main God of the Thunder Punishment Department was startled, showing a terrified expression: "Impossible! Emperor, there must be a misunderstanding."
"Before a demon undergoes a tribulation, we set a certain number of Heavenly Tribulations, and for thousands of years, since the beginning of heaven and earth, we have never struck the wrong person."
