"Are you leaving?"
Zhong Yan stopped spinning the teacup in his hand and placed it on the table. He turned his head to look at the little person's face. His pale lips were slightly open, waiting for Zhong Yan's reply.
Zhong Yan nodded slightly." We've already been delayed for a day. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid we'll be late again."”
"Take me away." He crawled out from under the blanket and wrapped it around his waist. The collar of his clothes was slightly open, revealing a piece of white skin that was very alluring.
Swallowing his saliva, Zhong Yan shook his head."No, how can I bring you along? You're so weak. You won't be able to take it if we hurry.”
"If you don't take me away, how can I live in the future?”His desolate smile was like a pear blossom blooming. The petals fell with the wind and scattered into the sky. It was so beautiful.
She suddenly felt uneasy. Why was he like this? Why was he able to grab her heart? For some reason, she wanted to dote on him and let him live a better life.
She clenched her fists slightly, her palms covered in sweat.
This person did not treat her as a princess at all. She was more like an elder sister. When she could not plead with her soft words, she would turn around and threaten her. In his eyes, her identity as a princess was not as useful as saying that she was his benefactor.
"I have already dismissed the magistrate and killed Liu Wu. No one will make things difficult for you anymore.”Zhong Yan tried her best to persevere.
Suddenly, Ying Hua's voice came from the door."Princess, I've already chosen one."
"Come in." At first glance, Feng Qinian had already obediently shrunk back into the blanket. She even pulled up a corner to cover half of her face like a child." Who is it?"”
Ying Hua placed the Xuan paper in her hand on the table."Mo Zhiyu."
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Ying Hua in confusion."How could it be him?" Wasn't this person a steward by Luo Yang's side? How could he be so popular?
Feng Qinian suddenly said," Luo Yang didn't do anything good, but Mo Zhiyu has always helped us. If anyone had any problems in private, they would go to him. He wouldn't reject them either."”
He nodded.
"You go down first and say that I understand.”Zhong Yan waved his hand.
Seeing the door close, Feng Qinian suddenly lifted the blanket and knelt at Chong Yan's feet.""You saved me, and you said that I'm yours. If you leave, won't I have to sink into the river?”
These words stunned Zhong Yan. She did not think too much about it. When she saved him, she did not know that he was such a good-looking man. She only thought that such evil deeds could not happen. Who knew that she would be involved in such a thing.
"If you don't take me with you…" He suddenly smiled." I'll die on your way out. Life is your person, death is your ghost.”
These words instantly ignited the anger in Zhong Yan's heart. Is my status as a princess that important?
"You know very well that you're just a boy toy by my side. You have no status!”Zhong Yan frowned and turned slightly.
Feng Qinian nodded. Her sharp chin was very likeable."Feng Qinian never wanted any status. I was saved by the princess, and it was also the princess who said it herself. Feng Qinian will follow the princess no matter if she is rich or poor. Even if the princess one day…Feng Qinian would not hesitate to follow you.”
Zhong Yan sneered in his heart. Whether it was glory, wealth, or poverty, it sounded nice, but he had never heard of a princess who lived in poverty in Li Country. There were still many years before the Empress abdicated. Feng Qinian could get close to others in these few years and seek a way out for himself.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yan no longer thought about whether Feng Qinian's body could withstand the long journey and nodded gently.""Since you insist on coming with me, then let's get someone to pack up and leave in a while.”
Chong Yan got up and pushed the door open, ignoring Feng Qinian who was still kneeling behind her. She happened to see the brothel madame who was walking down the corner of the stairs. When the brothel madame saw her, she knelt down and greeted,""Greetings, Princess."
Zhong Yan walked to her side coldly and wiped the side.""I'll take Feng Qinian with me. Also, run your brothel honestly.”
The brothel madame knew that Princess Dong Yan would definitely think of leaving with Feng Qinian, so she was not surprised and lowered her head.
Zhong Yan looked at the bright sunlight outside and felt a chill in her heart.
That night, the entire team was stationed in a dense forest. The moon was high in the forest, and there were occasional hoots from owls.
A white figure quietly left the military tent and walked into the depths of the forest.
"Is it Luo Ping?" The voice said softly as he looked at a black figure on the tall white poplar tree.
The figure jumped down from the tree and knelt at the feet of the man in white."Subordinate Luo Ping greets Princess."
Zhong Yan looked around. There was no one in the dark night. He lowered his voice and asked,"What is it?"
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, lifting the corner of Zhong Yan's snow-white clothes. Her white veil swayed in the wind.
"Princess, the day before yesterday, the Empress betrothed Prince Ruowu to Prime Minister Gu's daughter, Gu Danfeng.”The black-clothed man's voice was low and deep, making the night seem even quieter.
Upon hearing this news, Zhong Yan felt a wave of soreness in her eyes, and something slightly hot rolled around.
In the end, he had to let Ruo Wu marry someone who was beneficial to Li Country.
When Ruo Wu became Gu Danfeng's husband, the Empress would be able to control Prime Minister Gu better. On one hand, she could make Prime Minister Gu loyal to her, and on the other hand, she could let Ruo Wu monitor their every move.
However, if Wu Ke was willing…
He raised his head slightly and looked at the bright moon. The cold air slowly flowed around him.
Luo Ping did not understand why the Princess suddenly did not speak, but he did not dare to raise his head to see what had happened. He could only bury his head and remain silent, quietly waiting for Zhong Yan to continue asking.
Zhong Yan knew that even she could not avoid being arranged by the Empress to marry someone. However, she was a princess. The Empress would definitely ask her what she thought and would not force her to do so. At most, she would be taken in as a male pet in the harem.
However, if Ruo Wu wanted to protect his place, he would not only rely on his identity as a prince, but he would also have to think of ways to make Gu Danfeng like him.
Such a thing, how could that playful Ruo Wu possibly do it.
However, he was powerless.
She couldn't protect him at all. She couldn't even protect her own life. A few years later, who knew who was alive and who was dead.
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, not wanting tears to fall. In front of his most loyal subordinates, he naturally could not let them see his weakness. He was their spiritual pillar. If his weakness was discovered, his position in their hearts would also be shaken.
"I understand." Zhong Yan held the hairpin in her hair.”
Luo Ping's deep voice sounded again,""My spies have found out that the Lanling Kingdom has undergone a great change. The emperor of the Lanling Kingdom is terminally ill.”
Then…Zhong Yan muttered to herself. If that was the case, would her mother let Zhe Hao go back, or would she take the opportunity to join forces with the Chongtian Kingdom and flatten the Lanling Kingdom?
