Chapter 144
The other princesses seed to be still recovering and were unwilling to look at Qin Zhao.
Qin Yu said, "What's there not to accept? I think it's great. I was even thinking of borrowing Nine's influence to beco a queen myself. Now that our brothers have all been crowned kings, we princesses are still ordinary, and we're much shorter than them. I refuse to accept it!"
"Five sister has a good idea."
At that mont, Qin Ling passed by Qin Zhao and snorted heavily, pulling Qin Yu away.
"What are you doing, Sixth sister? Let
chat with Nine for a while longer."
"What's there to chat about..."
Their voices grew faint as they walked away.
Qin Zhao shook her head and thought to herself, "Sixth sister is as annoying as ever, hating herself."
But she could also understand that if she were faced with biased parents, she would show even stronger emotions than her sister.
It all ultimately stemd from Qin Zheng's fault. Not only did he not love any of his children, but he also deliberately provoked conflicts among his brothers and sisters.
The one who deserved to die the most was him!
But for now, she couldn't let him die. She had to go to the northwest border, while he remained in the capital to ensure stability.
502 reminded her, "Host, the emperor just went to the alchemist right after court to make the elixir he used to give you before. If he decides to use it, he probably won't live much longer."
Qin Zhao said, "The words I said earlier were ant to encourage him to take the dicine."
Don't worry, the potency of that dicine is not strong. The original owner took it for several years before dying.
Qin Zheng's body might be able to hold on for another year or so, and that's enough.
I will finish everything before he dies.
It would be best if I could personally end him."
They reached the carriage, and Shen Xue saw Qin Zhao's face, her eyes filled with surprise and silently admiring her beauty.
But she remained composed on the surface and said, "Your Highness, are we returning to the palace now?"
"Mmm, attending court is exhausting. I want to go back and rest."
Qin Zhao and Shen Xue returned to the palace, and everyone greeted them along the way, shouting, "Greetings to Her Highness, the Crown Princess!"
They were shocked to see the Crown Princess removing her veil and looking so beautiful, and their cheers beca even louder!
Qin Zhao's ears hurt from the noise.
"The news spread so quickly?" Qin Zhao asked.
Ling Long replied, "Your Highness, your servant learned through the person who delivered the gifts."
"Who sent the gifts?"
"It was two palace maids, and they also brought greeting cards."
"Alright, bring the things to my study."
"Yes."
At that mont, the person Qin Zhao most wanted to see was Qi Yan Su Luo, so she headed straight to the main courtyard.
Once inside the courtyard, Qin Zhao asked Shen Xue, who was practicing martial arts there, "Where is Qi Yan Su Luo?"
Shen Xue paused and said, "Miss Qi Yan said she wanted to take a walk in the mansion. She should be back soon."
Although the princess's mansion was large, Qin Zhao had walked through nearly half of it and still hadn't seen Qi Yan Su Luo.
She recalled their conversation earlier in the morning and had a bad feeling!
"Both of you, go find Qi Yan Su Luo imdiately and bring her back to !"
Cong Han didn't understand why she suddenly beca so urgent and asked, "Your Highness, is sothing wrong? Miss Qi Yan usually enjoys taking walks. There shouldn't be any issues."
Qin Zhao said coldly, "I said, go find her!"
Cong Han was taken aback by her stern expression, which was sothing she had never seen before.
Without saying a word, Qin Zhao went with Shen Xue to find Qi Yan Su Luo.
Qin Zhao sat in the courtyard, waiting.
In less than a mont, the two of them returned and reported, saying, "Your Highness, we searched every corner of the mansion, but we couldn't find Miss Qi Yan. She may not be in the mansion."
"If she's here, she's here. If she's not, she's not. Why say 'may'?"
"If we didn't find her in the mansion, we'll search outside!"
"Understood."
They walked towards the gate and saw Qi Yan Su Luo, dressed in a green robe, stepping over the threshold.
Cong Han happily exclaid, "Miss Qi Yan, you're back! We thought you had left the mansion and were about to look for you!"
Qi Yan Su Luo said, "I did go out for a while. I'm sorry for making you worry."
"It's alright, we're fine. We knew you would be fine. The person who worried the most was Your Highness. She was really anxious just now!"
Qin Zhao gave Cong Han a glare and turned to enter the bedchamber.
Qi Yan Su Luo followed and closed the door, approaching Qin Zhao and asking, "Were you really worried about ?"
Qin Zhao sat on the ditation chair, not answering directly but asking, "Who did you go to see?"
Qi Yan Su Luo remained silent.
Qin Zhao guessed, "Your brother?"
Qi Yan Su Luo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said, "I have my own private matters. I don't need to report everything to you."
"Heh, I don't think so. Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the mansion in the future!"
Qi Yan Su Luo's tone suddenly turned cold as she questioned, "Why not? I, Qi Yan Su Luo, am not your personal belonging, Qin Zhao. I have my own personality and dignity. I won't be subservient to you!"
Qin Zhao initially thought she had been too domineering in her words and wanted to explain, but seeing Qi Yan Su Luo's strong attitude, her rebelliousness took over.
She said, "Because I am the Crown Princess, the future Empress of Yue Country!
Not just you, but everyone in this land is under my jurisdiction!"
When Qi Yan Su Luo heard the words "Crown Princess," her montum imdiately subsided, and she asked, "Crown Princess? Are you serious?"
Qin Zhao nodded, "It was just conferred today. Impressive, isn't it?"
Qi Yan Su Luo pondered for a mont and said, "It is indeed impressive, but this position is too dangerous...
Qin Zhao hugged Qi Yan Su Luo and sighed, "Truly my girlfriend, always thinking about my safety first."
Qi Yan Su Luo didn't understand and asked, "What does 'girlfriend' an?"
"It's a very intimate relationship, just like you and . Two people who can share a bed and be completely honest with each other are considered each other's girlfriend."
Qi Yan Su Luo suddenly understood and then asked, "How many girlfriends do you have?"
Qin Zhao: "..."
This kid is really quick-witted.
Qin Zhao replied, "Currently, only you. But if you keep running around, making
worry, annoyed, or even miserable, I will find more girlfriends to irritate you."
Qi Yan Su Luo thought of her father, saying, "Now you are the Crown Princess, and in the future, you will be the Empress. You will have a harem.
By then, you will not only have girlfriends but also boyfriends."
Qin Zhao playfully tapped her nose and said, "As long as you behave, I will only have you."
Qi Yan Su Luo said, "Considering how beautiful you are, I reluctantly agree to it."
Qin Zhao chuckled, "I thought you hadn't noticed."
She leaned closer to Qi Yan Su Luo's ear and asked, "Do you want to spar with such a beautiful ?"
Qi Yan Su Luo embraced her and replied, "Why not?"
The two tumbled onto the bed...
The next morning, Qin Zhao, feeling drowsy, sensed no one beside her. She thought to herself, "Qi Yan Su Luo was busy until midnight last night, yet he managed to wake up so early. Truly gifted."
She casually turned over and felt sothing pressing against her. Opening her eyes, she saw a letter where Qi Yan Su Luo had slept.
Qin Zhao opened the envelope and read the sentence written on it, instantly dispelling her sleepiness!
Not understanding, she asked, "What does this sentence an?"
"In life, one is like a traveler passing through," Qin Zhao murmured. "She's gone."
