At the palace gate, the carriage clattered away, leaving behind a crowd of onlookers.
Xin Lin glanced over, causing a shiver among the noble ladies, who hurriedly scrambled into their own carriages, fleeing as if for their lives.
What a joke, after all, she is a Princess.
Emperor Longteng only has princes, no princesses.
This ans Xin Lin is the only Princess, even if she’s just a Princess, she is still a Princess, isn’t she?
It seems that this Princess has quite a temper. What if she loses her temper and beats them into pig heads?
"So, you beca a Princess just like that?"
Zuo Mingshang was stunned.
With just one word, she gained a godfather?
Xin Lin’s speed is really sothing.
"With Shi Pin and her son in the palace, having another identity would make it easier to enter and exit the Imperial Palace, and we can look out for each other more."
Xin Lin said casually.
Emperor Longteng conferring her as a Princess was also to gain a good reputation externally.
Firstly, Chu Tianyi was dismissed, and currently, no one from the Chu Mansion holds an official position, leaving Emperor Longteng with so sense of guilt towards the Chu Family. Outsiders were also gossiping, but with the confernt of the Princess title, there would be nothing left to say, and Emperor Longteng could be at ease.
Secondly, during Xin Lin’s recent birthday banquet, she achieved great rit, so Emperor Longteng’s confernt had the intention of drawing her closer.
The reason why Xin Lin went along with it and accepted this godfather was that she needed to enter and exit the Imperial Palace, not only because of Shi Pin and her son but also because she wanted to find the Dragon Vein.
The Longteng Stele once said that there might be a Dragon Vein with Empress Feng.
To absorb the Dragon Vein more quickly and gain more Xuan Spirit Vein, Xin Lin had to search diligently to find out where Empress Feng hid the Dragon Vein.
As Xin Lin spoke, General Zuo remained silent beside her, but when he saw Xin Lin teaching the Chu family father and daughter a lesson, there was a noticeable hint of interest in General Zuo’s eyes.
"Now that you have beco a Princess, Long Qingchen and his gang won’t dare bully you casually anymore. Also, the Xuerou family must thank you properly this ti. When you return to Qingtian Academy, we should celebrate well."
Zuo Mingshang said with a bright smile.
"Mingshang, you head back first, I’ll take these two back."
General Zuo glanced at Chu Beiqing and Xin Lin beside him.
Zuo Mingshang looked curious, but under General Zuo’s stern gaze, she obediently left.
General Zuo found a carriage, and the three of them got on leisurely.
"General Zuo is finally willing to speak with ."
Xin Lin had approached General Zuo several tis, but he had always avoided eting her.
"Princess, I apologize for any offense earlier. The reason I’ve been avoiding eting with you and the Seventh Prince is because of circumstances beyond my control, I was rely following General Shi’s last orders."
General Zuo’s face reddened slightly, and after a few light coughs, he finally spoke.
He didn’t speak imdiately but quickly looked around the carriage.
The carriage was moving slowly down an alley, it was already deep into the night, the outside was silent with no one around.
"General Shi’s last orders?"
Xin Lin was taken aback.
"Actually, six years ago, Old General Zuo died suddenly. Before he died, he ca to see . He told there would be major upheaval in Longteng, and he would risk everything to try. If he failed, he would surely die, he only asked to ensure the safety of Shi Guiren and the Seventh Prince. He had everything arranged, I only needed to get them out of the palace."
Recalling those years, General Zuo’s eyes were also full of sorrow.
