Chapter 1813: Let's go home and see your father!

~6 min read 1,178 words

The Inner Palace.

Dinghe Hall.

This was a cold palace in the Great Chu Imperial Palace, extremely desolate and lonely.

"Transmit the Emperor's oral decree: the Second Princess is to immediately take the child to Qinghe Hall!"

"Bring your personal belongings, and do not make any mistakes!"

Chu Qingluan wore a blue palace dress, her hair coiled high; when she heard the decree, her beautiful eyes dimmed.

What should come... has finally come.

Chu Ningyu wore a red dress, her face full of anxiety, "Qingluan, what should we do?"

"Father has issued a decree for you to take the child to Qinghe Hall and pack your personal belongings; you must be going to the Xiongnu for the marriage alliance!"

Chu Qingluan held the baby girl, who was eating her small hand with black, rolling eyes, looking extremely cute, her expression extremely calm.

"Royal Sister, don't be sad for me."

"This is my and Junjun's fate; I can't blame anyone."

Chu Ningyu bit her silver teeth and said, "I will go with you, Royal Sister, to see you off for the last time."

"Okay!"

After packing simply, Chu Qingluan had nothing to be nostalgic about and walked straight out of the hall.

Outside the hall.

Palace maids were covering their mouths and laughing softly, their faces full of contempt, "The Xiongnu are barbarians who drink blood, and with the Xiongnu's hatred for the Living Yama, once she goes to the Xiongnu, who knows how many people the Second Princess will have to serve."

"That Living Yama is overestimating himself; hearing that he went to Hexi twice is truly ridiculous!"

When Chu Ningyu heard these voices, she wanted to explode with rage.

But Chu Qingluan grabbed Chu Ningyu and shook her head at her.

Human hearts are cold and too ugly.

When she was in power, these eunuchs and palace maids saw her as a god and were respectful, but when she returned after a great defeat and was treated by the Chu Emperor as an abandoned pawn for the Xiongnu marriage alliance, these people changed their faces.

Mocking voices,

Insulting words.

She had heard too many.

This turn of events revealed the true colors of everyone around her; who was good and who was bad was clear at a glance.

Since she had to marry, she didn't want to add useless trouble to Chu Ningyu.

"..."

Soon.

Chu Qingluan held Junjun in her arms and arrived at Qinghe Hall with Chu Ningyu.

As soon as Chu Ningyu stepped into the hall, she knelt down and said to the Chu Emperor, "Father, the Xiongnu are barbarians who drink blood and view Gao Yang as a mortal enemy. If Qingluan goes, she will surely suffer torture, which may damage the majesty of our Great Chu!"

"Your daughter... dares to ask Father to think twice!"

Chu Qingluan was about to speak, but she caught a glimpse of a figure in the hall, besides her father and the Chu Chancellor, that she felt was very familiar.

"This... this is..."

Chu Qingluan stared at Zhao Da's figure, and brilliance bloomed in her eyes bit by bit.

At this time.

Zhao Da knelt on the ground and said loudly toward Chu Qingluan.

"Zhao Da of the Duke of State's Prefecture, specifically on the orders of Chancellor Gao, comes to the Great Chu Imperial Palace to take the Second Princess and the Young Master home!"

In this instant.

Chu Qingluan's body stiffened; the Second Princess of Chu, who had led one hundred thousand troops to fight on the battlefield, was used to life and death, and even when injured, shed blood but not tears, felt her eyes ache at this moment and almost shed tears!

Chu Ningyu was stunned, as if she had heard some incredible news, and looked up suddenly.

Her eyes were full of shock.

The Living Yama sent someone to take Qingluan back to Great Qian?

Looking at it, it seemed he had even succeeded!

The Chu Emperor's face was cold as iron, and he said to Chu Qingluan, "From now on, you are free."

"From now on, you are no longer a person of Great Chu; go to Great Qian!"

After these words were spoken, Chu Qingluan seemed to shed all the pressure on her body.

"Qingluan thanks Father for his holy grace!"

Chu Qingluan held the child in her arms and wanted to bow.

But the Chu Emperor said coldly, "You shouldn't thank me; it was that Living Yama who paid the price to exchange you from me."

"If you want to thank someone, go back to Great Qian and thank him!"

Chu Qingluan thought of the Battle of Hexi and asked boldly, "Father, Qingluan dares to ask, how is the situation in Hexi?"

The Chu Emperor took a deep breath and said, "The Living Yama crushed the Xiongnu, captured the Xiongnu holy object, the Golden Man for Heaven Worship, King Langya died, King Zhenyue led his seventy thousand clansmen to surrender, and the land of Hexi... has changed hands!"

Hum!

Chu Qingluan's brain buzzed.

At this moment, she understood everything.

At this time.

Zhao Da looked at the Chu Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Chancellor Gao has one more request, please agree—during this time, the palace maids and eunuchs who bullied the Second Princess and the Young Master must die!"

Chu Qingluan was stunned, her beautiful eyes staring straight at the direction where Zhao Da was.

What Chu Ningyu wrote in the letter was a boy, and the purpose was to get Gao Yang to take action, which she only found out at the very end.

But Zhao Da kept calling the child the Young Master, not the Young Prince.

Could it be that he already knew Junjun was a girl, but still did all this?

For a time, Chu Qingluan's heart was extremely complicated.

The Chu Emperor was enraged and slapped the dragon table in front of him, "How bold!"

"Does this Living Yama really think he is someone? He shouldn't go too far!"

But Zhao Da was unhurried, took off a glaze jade pendant from his waist.

He opened the wooden box, gently placed it on the large piece of glaze, and said to the Chu Emperor.

"Although this white jade glaze is small, it is unique in the world; I wonder if Your Majesty likes it."

Hu!

The Chu Emperor took a deep breath.

Damn it!

This Living Yama is attacking his weak point fiercely!

He felt a sense of being deceived; what happened to it being the only one?

What happened to being in debt of ten million taels and not being able to add any treasures?

Fine!

"Investigate!"

"Investigate strictly!"

"Qingluan, take my token and go personally; the palace maids and eunuchs who served you, kill those who should be killed!"

Dinghe Palace.

In the very spacious open space of the palace in front, three rows of trembling servants knelt.

"Second Princess, spare our lives, spare our lives!"

"This servant was wrong, I beg the Second Princess to forgive our sins!" ===== CHAPTER 1815 =====
