Emperor Wen couldn't bear to watch and turned his back.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yun Zheng observed the puzzle for a moment, then moved his hands swiftly...

Before everyone could react, Yun Zheng had already stopped.

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Yun Zheng lifted the puzzle high.

Ban Bu's pupils suddenly constricted, staring dumbfounded at the puzzle in Yun Zheng's hands, hardly believing his eyes.

Impossible!

How could it be so fast?

Looking at the puzzle in Yun Zheng's hands, the people of the Great Dry were completely stunned.

Was it... solved?

Everyone rubbed their eyes hard, not daring to believe what they were seeing.

However, the puzzle was still the same puzzle.

Only, the colors on all six sides were now aligned.

It was truly solved!

It wasn't even half a cup of tea time as Yun Zheng had said!

It was done in just a few breaths!

Yun Li and the other princes were thoroughly dumbfounded.

How could this be possible?

They had fiddled with it for a long time and barely managed to solve one side!

How could this worthless person solve it so quickly?

Damn it!

What's going on here?

"Congratulations to His Majesty! Heaven blesses the Great Dry!"

Suddenly, Elder Zhang Hui knelt down, tears streaming down his face as he exclaimed.

"Congratulations to His Majesty!"

"Heaven blesses the Great Dry!"

In an instant, all the officials knelt down.

Xu Shipu and Yun Li hated it to death but had no choice but to follow suit and kneel.

This was a grand occasion of recovering lost territories!

If they dared not kneel and congratulate, they would be asking for punishment.

At this moment, Emperor Wen still had his back to everyone, not daring to look at the result.

These sudden shouts confused Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen turned around abruptly, somewhat bewildered, looking at everyone.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has won!"

Zhang Hui, tears streaming down his face, pointed at the puzzle, his body trembling with excitement, "The territory we lost five years ago is back!"

Zhang Hui was a staunch advocate of peace.

He wasn't traitorous; he simply wanted the Great Dry to enjoy peace and the people to avoid the suffering of war.

Now that the territory lost five years ago was recovered, how could he not be excited?

"Win... won?"

Emperor Wen's face twitched slightly, struggling to control his emotions, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In the next moment, Emperor Wen, disregarding imperial etiquette, hurried over from the throne, snatched the puzzle from Yun Zheng's hands, and looked at it with a trembling body.
