Chapter 501: The Young Master and General Xie

This is absolutely bombshell news!

Crown Prince Xie Fang could not react for a single moment. He sat there, utterly devastated.

A group of Strategists also looked at one another in dismay.

Because they did not know how they should advise the Crown Prince.

This matter was truly too massive... If it were merely a suddenly appearing Xie Chan, even with the title of Longyang Princess, the problem would not be too great. After all, she had no power base in the palace, in Jinghua, or in the Longyan Dynasty, and no influential figures following her. It was basically impossible for her to stir up any waves. In every succession struggle that had occurred in Longyan, which prince had not spent many years building their foundation before they were qualified to participate?

However...

A Longyang Princess, plus a renowned Prefect Liu, made the problem not small at all.

With Prefect Liu backing her, what kind of existence would the Longyang Princess be? Would she shake his position as Crown Prince?

Xie Fang had to consider this.

Xie Zhao said from the side, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, I feel that this is a move by the Emperor!"

"Ah?"

The Crown Prince looked bewildered.

The others nodded one after another.

Someone said that this move by the Emperor was very clever, but no one could say exactly where the cleverness lay.

Damn it!

Xie Fang nearly vomited blood. What am I paying you all for?

Xie Zhao chuckled, "I heard that after the Empress learned of this news, she flew into a rage in the inner palace, and her behavior as a jealous woman has already reached Yangxin Hall. Under these circumstances, we must not do the same."

Xie Fang's eyes lit up: "Does Imperial Uncle mean..."

Xie Zhao said indifferently, "As the Crown Prince, you should have the capacity to tolerate others. The Crown Prince should immediately draft an Eastern Palace proclamation to congratulate the Longyang Princess, then send the appropriate grand gifts, and send a few imperial physicians to show concern for the Longyang Princess's injuries, express indignation toward the assassins, and offer a reward... In short, you must demonstrate your magnanimity toward the Longyang Princess in your capacity as Crown Prince! In this way, you not only manifest the Crown Prince's bearing but also tell her who is the true Crown Prince of this dynasty. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds, praised by all under heaven?"

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed.

The Crown Prince also nodded heavily: "Good, good, good, let's do it this way, let's do it this way! Hahahaha, is the Empress really so narrow-minded? Whether this Longyang Princess can even wake up is still unknown, hahahaha, she has certainly already fallen into an inferior position in this matter!"

Xie Zhao chuckled upon hearing this.

Your Highness the Crown Prince has grown quite a bit recently.

"What are you saying?"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

At this moment, Xie Chan was absolutely unable to accept everything happening before her eyes.

She was the daughter of the current Emperor? How could this be possible! What about her father, the Emperor? What about her mother, the Empress? Xie Xuan had doted on her since she was small; no matter how much trouble she caused in Dayuan, no matter how great a disaster she stirred up, he would always just laugh it off.

That was her father...

More crucially, what was the meaning of this Imperial Edict? That she forced her own father to his death just to return to the Longyan Dynasty to surrender?

Xie Chan was furious on the spot and wanted to go out to confront that Grand Eunuch Zhou.

She did not believe it!

She absolutely did not believe it!

These people were all lying to her! How could she be the daughter of the Longyan Emperor? She was her father's daughter! She was...

At this moment, her entire worldview seemed to have collapsed.

She felt...

These people were bullying her!

She had come to Longyan all alone, and they were all bullying her!

Why did she appear here?

Why did she have to stay here? Why did she have to pretend to be dead here?

What about her Xiao Tao...

She felt dizzy and clenched her fists tightly.

"Princess, Princess..."

"Your Highness the Princess!"

"You absolutely must not!"

A group of people hurriedly held her back.

At this moment, Xie Chan only felt that everyone in this world was a liar, and she shouted angrily, "Get out of my way!"

"Princess..."

Feng Sanniang walked over.

When she saw her, Xie Chan's eyelashes trembled; regardless of anything else, when she was on the verge of death, it was this lady before her who had saved her.

Feng Sanniang sighed, "Princess, regardless of whether this matter is true or false, you cannot go out now!"

"Why?"

Xie Chan's tone was icy: "I don't want to be any Longyang Princess, I don't care for it! I want to go out and make it clear to him! Once I make it clear to him, I will return to the Western Regions and never step foot in Longyan again!"

A group of people knelt down again to persuade her.

But Xie Chan insisted on going out, which worried the group of people to death. If Xie Chan went out at a time like this, the matter of her faked injury would be completely exposed.

Feng Sanniang looked at Qingyang Shuo, signaling for him to speak.

Qingyang Shuo was just about to speak.

At this moment, shouts rang out from outside.

"Young Master!"

"The Young Master is back!"

"Young Master, you..."

Afterwards, the bedroom door was pushed open by someone. Fortunately, Liu Dahao was quick-witted and fast-handed; he followed Liu Zheng inside and quickly closed the door.

The scene went quiet, and everyone looked over one after another.

They saw a man with dark skin, disheveled hair, and lips so dry they were peeling, walk in.

He first glanced at Feng Sanniang.

"General Xie..."

Then, he looked at Xie Chan, his eyes flickering with sincere happiness.

He moved his parched lips and murmured a sound.

Xie Chan blinked her eyes as she looked over.

Then, she watched Liu Zheng look at her face, beam a bright smile, and then fall straight down.

"Young Master, Young Master!"

"Young Master..."

"Zheng!"

Three days!

It only took Liu Zheng three days to fly back from Liangshan to Liangzhou!

Xie Chan stood stunned on the spot, a stormy sea surging in her heart.

She suddenly remembered the words Feng Sanniang had said to her today...

If Zheng can return within three days, why don't you two get married?

Get married...

Just a moment ago, she felt the sensation of being in a strange land vanish instantly; her delicate body trembled, and she bent down to help lift Liu Zheng onto the bed together.

After one day and one night.

Liu Zheng finally opened his eyes.

"Zheng!"

"Young Master!"

"The Young Master is awake!"

"Come quickly, the Young Master is awake, Young Master!"

Listening to these concerned voices, Liu Zheng felt a warmth in his heart.

Hmm, why does this scene feel so familiar? Is it like when I first transmigrated here?

Opening his eyes, he saw face after face of concern, and eyes filled with care and joy.

"Old woman..."

The one who rushed to the very front was naturally Feng Sanniang.

Liu Zheng chuckled.

"Oh my, he still remembers this old woman; he's not stupid, he's not stupid, his brain isn't broken!"

Feng Sanniang shouted with joy.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Liu Zheng was also left speechless: "You all are really, really... I thought..."

Seeing that Feng Sanniang and Xie Chan were fine, his previously tense nerves instantly relaxed, and he fainted, passing out just like that.

"Oh my, oh my, it's Mother's fault, it's Mother's fault. At a time like this, how could it be my turn, this old hag, to stand at the front, right? Quickly, quickly, Chan'er, come over!"

Feng Sanniang laughed as she pushed the blushing Xie Chan in front of Liu Zheng.

Xie Chan was at a loss, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her small hands nervously clutching the corner of her clothes.

Liu Zheng looked over with a smile.

What a beauty, a woman of peerless elegance who could topple cities.

"Young Master..."

"General Xie..."
