Chapter 412 - 411: Dying for the Princess Is Your Honor 31
There are many followers like Song Chen, who do not seek luxury and comfort, but hold onto the dream of creating a prosperous era, sacrificing themselves for her every day.
In such a short time, she managed to gather so many people willing to fight for her without hesitation.
However, thinking about the changes in Canglan Country, Song Yuheng found it unsurprising. It’s a special kind of faith, no wonder she was admired.
If he weren’t the Third Prince of Bei Qi, he might have been the same as those people.
"I want to see the Emperor of Canglan Country," Song Yuheng said to the guard at the entrance. He just wanted to ask how long the other party planned to keep him, and what they intended to do with him, so he could have an idea. Whatever the outcome, he could accept it.
After that night, he wasn’t afraid of life and death.
The guard said, "It’s not possible for now, Your Majesty has some matters to attend to."
"How long will it take?" Song Yuheng asked, feeling that Song Chen didn’t seem to be in the palace.
The guard did not hide it, as the Emperor had instructed earlier. He said, "Her Majesty has returned to Nan Qi, as Nan Qi’s Ninth Princess."
Song Yuheng was stunned for a moment. Returned to Nan Qi? As Nan Qi’s Ninth Princess?
What is she going to do?
Thinking about her almost immortal-like capabilities, he was a bit worried.
She seemed to dislike Nan Qi a lot; she had previously called Nan Qi spineless right to him. Could she be planning to enact the same tactics and take Nan Qi down?
Very quickly Song Yuheng shook his head and smiled. So what?
He, a deposed prince from a defeated country, even if he knew about these things, couldn’t change anything.
Actually, he wasn’t afraid of anything anymore, so he smiled and asked, "Does your Majesty intend to take over Nan Qi?"
"Nan Qi is sure to be taken," the guard said straightforwardly, "but the Emperor has some personal matters to resolve first."
The Emperor had already instructed that this gentleman could know whatever he wanted.
Song Yuheng frowned. Personal matters?
Is she planning to avenge the Emperor of Nan Qi for sending her over? That would be just like her.
Song Yuheng didn’t ask more, just said, "If your Emperor returns, please let me know, thank you."
"Alright," the guard responded.
Song Yuheng walked back, only to see Jing Shu sitting in a daze at the door.
He went up and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, just thinking time is short, and changes happen too quickly," Jing Shu stood up and said. If she wanted to know something, she could directly ask the guard. She didn’t know whether this was a privilege or a form of torment.
She never thought the outside world would be like that.
And she never expected that people who were once slaves could be valued by the Emperor of Canglan Country. As long as they are capable and not great villains, their background doesn’t matter to her.
Occasionally, Jing Shu would feel fortunate that the person she saved was brilliant and hadn’t been poisoned by her.
The Third Prince she saved was still alive and not tortured, and the Emperor of Canglan Country, who is kind to the world, is still around, which is pretty good.
Song Yuheng noticed the change in Jing Shu and didn’t say much.
A person like Song Chen is probably only hated by certain nobles because her existence directly ended their good days.
But their disdain clearly has no effect on Song Chen at all.
"I just found out she went back to Nan Qi, still as Nan Qi’s Ninth Princess," Song Yuheng said.
Jing Shu was shocked, why?
Song Yuheng shook his head and returned to the house to transcribe books.
He didn’t know exactly what she was going to do.
But today, he still had a task of transcribing books. Song Chen said she wouldn’t feed him for free, and he had to work. Fan Shi said his writing was good, so he had this job of transcribing books. It wasn’t tiring, just a bit reflective about how quickly fate changed, though he gradually got used to it.
Cui Jing already knew the news early on that Song Chen’s convoy would arrive at Capital City today.
She deliberately picked a good spot, sitting there waiting. This was a route that must be taken to the Imperial Palace, so she’d definitely see Song Chen’s convoy.
Knowing Song Chen was doing well over there, her mood wasn’t very good.
Even though she is now Princess Changning, with a respectable status, and is considered an adopted daughter by the Emperor and Consort Li, she still remembers the humiliation she suffered because of Song Chen.
The convoy finally arrived, and from her vantage point, Cui Jing immediately saw the most prominent carriage, staring at it without looking away.
Song Chen is inside, right?
Ah Chen was such a perceptive person, even through the curtains she could sense someone watching.
She gently lifted the carriage curtain and looked up toward the pavilion on the first floor, the gaze came from that window.
Cui Jing didn’t know if it was Ah Chen’s sharpness or coincidence that she met her gaze directly. Her heart sank a bit, but she didn’t shy away, especially thinking of her current status; she too is a princess, still Princess Changning, with a title, not having to fear Song Chen at all.
Thinking of how close Father Emperor and Mother Consort are to her, she felt at ease at once.
Song Chen probably doesn’t even know about Father and Mother Emperor’s recognition of her as an adopted daughter?
Cui Jing suddenly felt some anticipation. She stood up, thinking since her sister was back, she should go see her.
"Your Highness, are you returning?" the maid beside her asked.
Cui Jing said, "No, finally waiting for my sister to return, I can’t wait to see her, don’t know how much she suffered over the years."
"Your Highness is kind-hearted."
Isn’t she kind-hearted?
At that time, the other party was sent to Bei Qi by the Ninth Princess, and she never resented it, but often inquired about the Ninth Princess’s news, truly kind-hearted.
"Sister." Cui Jing stood in the middle of the road, stopping the convoy.
The leader naturally recognized her as Princess Changning and quickly stepped forward to greet, "Greetings to Princess Changning."
"Rise, I want to see my sister, don’t know how she is, extremely worried." Cui Jing smiled gently. In front of so many people, if Song Chen knew her current status, she wondered if she would make a fuss.
She knew Song Chen’s personality; she definitely wouldn’t be able to tolerate it, nor could she pretend.
Ah Chen wouldn’t pretend with her at all, is it necessary?
She came back just to settle things with them.
"Sister, as long as you’re okay." Cui Jing’s eyes reddened, she said this and turned to leave, looking extremely aggrieved.
But Ah Chen wouldn’t let it go, having come all this way, why leave immediately, after just a few words?
"Come back," she said, "Even if you’re conferred as a princess, it’s just conferred. It’s still different from me, a real princess. Since you came to see me, how can you turn and leave?"
The onlookers all felt this Ninth Princess was really excessive.
