C22 (1/2)
As soon as Yue Chanjuan returned to the Star Seizer Garden, she saw that it was a bit chaotic, so she hurriedly went forward to report. At this moment, Blue Mountain had long since retreated with his guards.
Her delicate eyebrows knitted together. She didn't expect Emperor Sheng to be so scheming. He actually sent people to search the palace right after she left.
”Did they find anything?”
Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the courtyard. Thankfully, that thing was not placed in his room. Otherwise, it would definitely have been searched.
”No, they didn't find anything.”
Rising in the autumn of the year, the 20th of August. The imperial edict was that the Great Kang Empire and the Great Moon Branch Empire would have a friendly marriage alliance. They would be marrying Princess Wuyou into the Great Moon Branch. Accompanying Princess Jianyou, the wedding was made in the pear alone in the fifth son Solu Lianshan. Princess Beining, Yang Lingdang, gave her marriage to the Great Moon Branch's Prince of the Left, Tuoba Fei.
The vast convoy escorted Yue Chanjuan and the others, departing from Tai An and heading towards the outside of the city. At this time, Tai An was still blooming, with a green shade covering the sun.
The gifts and dowry he had received along the way, along with the hundreds of carriages, were all the most varied and abundant in the history of the Grand Kang Empire. The Shengdi wasn't stingy with his money. If he could get back a hundred years of peace in the Northern Frontier, then this money meant nothing to him.
This month, the Huns sent ambassadors to pay their respects, and the tribute they sent was also very generous. It was a betrothal gift.” As a large country, it was laughable how a great kang could be left behind.
The people who were watching the bid farewell lined up on both sides of the road. Even when they reached the periphery of the capital, there was still no end. Emperor Sheng personally saw them off. This was the first major event since the founding of the Great Kang Empire.
Yue Chanjuan quietly sat on the carriage, which was covered with a thick blanket and filled with all sorts of items. Surrounding her were the servants and maids left and right of her. These maids had all been trained and trained by her over the years.
”Princess, we're about to leave Tai An City.”
Yue Chanjuan stretched out a finger and gently lifted up the window of the car. Looking back through the cracks, she could no longer see the Forbidden City. The place where she suffered so much was finally growing further and further away from her.
His limpid gaze swept across his surroundings, yet he didn't see that familiar figure that he hadn't seen for a long time. His gaze could not help but dim, and he was about to leave the capital.
”Princess, this servant has been keeping an eye out the entire way. I didn't see General Qin.”
”You have slapped your own face for twenty years. It seems like you did not take this princess' words to heart.”
Chess bowed her head in reverence and knelt in the carriage. She waved her hand in the direction of her face. Yue Chanjuan very rarely punished them, but if she spoke, she would never forgive them, nor would she allow others to plead for mercy.
”Pa, pa, pa …”
A resounding slap landed on chess's face, and in a moment, her pretty face had turned red and swollen. Qin Yun quietly sat at the side of the carriage and lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.
When they followed Yue Chanjuan, she was only thirteen years old, but she already possessed an extraordinary amount of authority. As Yue Chanjuan grew older, her dignity grew heavier, and her reverence deepened. It was only because they were servants who often served Yue Chanjuan that they knew how decisive this seemingly young and tender princess was.
This was especially true for the four of them. As Yue Chanjuan's personal servant, they knew this princess better than them.
Yue Chanjuan did not lower the curtain of the carriage window. She continued to look outside, searching for that familiar figure. She thought, there are too many people in the capital. If he came to send her off, he would definitely be outside Tai An city.
Not only did he not allow the maidservant to mention him, he also avoided causing trouble for him by letting others know what she was thinking. If someone from the Da Yue branch knew about her relationship with him, it would not be beneficial to them at all.
”From today onwards, whoever dares to mention him again, bring up this matter and kill themselves.”
His tone was cold, and the temperature in the carriage instantly dropped. She wouldn't give anyone the chance to put her and him in danger.
Yue Chanjuan turned her head and looked at Qin Yun with a cold gaze. ”Give me my orders.”
”Yes, Princess.”
Qin Yun gave a slight bow and agreed, passing down Yue Chanjuan's order. Their only duty was to be absolutely loyal to listening to Yue Chanjuan's orders and not violate them in the slightest.
Seeing that they had already left Tai An's city gate, Yue Chan opened the curtains a little wider and turned her head to look at Tai An. This time, she was afraid that she would never have the chance to return. Once out, he would be unable to see Tai An city for the rest of his life.
Qin Yun also opened the window. Her eyes were filled with melancholy as she looked at the bustling and majestic Tai An City. Was it about to leave? She knew very well that this exit was not like going to any other place. Not to mention seeing Tai An City again, even the Central Plains would never have the chance to return.
