There is no room for negotiation in this matter.
This is Emperor Yu’s stance, and naturally, his as well.
"But on the Southern King’s side...."
"You don’t need to worry about that, it’s been so long without any results, there’s no hope left. The Southern King understands this clearly."
This is just an excuse for Qin Ying to delay, but how could he not know?
"Got it."
Qin Ying spoke helplessly, "Tomorrow then."
"Is it for him?"
Liu Sheng asked.
"It’s decided then."
With these words, she walked straight outside.
She herself knew very well that she had to return.
"Alas!"
Liu Sheng let out a long sigh.
...
In the carriage.
The royal seal and imperial edict were casually placed aside by Chen Xuan.
"You had everything arranged beforehand?"
That little lady didn’t even discuss such a big matter with him; let’s see how he teaches her tonight.
"I have to return to the Imperial City."
Qin Ying looked at her, full of reluctance.
"Why so suddenly?"
Chen Xuan frowned, no wonder he sensed she was preoccupied when they left the Three Judicial Departnts earlier.
"Hmm, it’s Father’s will."
Qin Ying explained.
"Then when will you return?"
However, faced with Chen Xuan’s question, she remained silent.
Head lowered.
Chen Xuan imdiately had a bad feeling, as if she was leaving never to return.
"I will enter the Qin Emperor Sacred Land to cultivate and awaken the Qin Emperor’s bloodline, until... the Burial Ground before I can co out."
This is sothing every mber of the Imperial Family must go through before turning eighteen.
And Qin Ying only had half a month left until she turned eighteen.
"Such a long ti!?"
Chen Xuan was also shocked, no wonder she looked like this.
But....
This is Emperor Yu’s will, and it will certainly be greatly beneficial for her.
He held her in his arms, "Let’s not go back tonight, we’ll go to Taoling Lake."
"Hmm!"
Qin Ying snuggled into his embrace and nodded slightly.
...
One night!
Qin Ying was warr than ever.
Things she was once shy about, she was completely open to tonight.
Only the last boundary she did not allow him to cross, everything else she gave to him.
On the bed.
Chen Xuan looked at Qin Ying in his arms, like a little lamb, his eyes full of reluctance.
This would be a departure for ten years.
Even if he went to the Imperial City, he wouldn’t see her.
Just looking at her like this, until dawn, Qin Ying slowly opened her eyes.
"Awake!"
Chen Xuan smiled softly.
"Hmm!"
Though she was tired last night, it was the most restful sleep she ever had.
Slling his scent, she didn’t even know when she fell asleep.
But when she saw the morning sun outside the window, her eyes were full of reluctance.
But——
"It’s ti to get up, the Chief Eunuch should be waiting for ."
"Okay!"
Today, Qin Ying, like a newlywed wife, helped Chen Xuan dress.
After the two dressed neatly, they left the flower boat.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Three Judicial Departnts, Liu Sheng had already been waiting for a long ti.
And Qin Ke was standing aside.
Though he was quite nervous.
"Then let’s go."
"Thank you, Master."
"It’s a trivial matter."
Liu Sheng’s face showed a doting expression.
Emperor Yu’s order was to return to the Imperial City that day, but for Qin Ying, he delayed a day.
It’s worth noting that he is the Chief Eunuch of the Ritual Departnt, and disobeying Emperor Yu’s orders is against regulation, even a grave offense.
But... there’s no helping it, he doted on Qin Ying so much.
"Long Da, take the Little Princess and leave first, I will follow soon."
Faced with Liu Sheng’s words, Long Da dared not refuse and ca beside Qin Ying,
"Your Highness!"
Qin Ying reached out and touched Chen Xuan’s cheek.
"I’m leaving!"
"Hmm, I’ll be there promptly when the Burial Ground opens."
"Hmm!"
Tears welled up at the corner of Qin Ying’s eyes.
She turned her head, not daring to look at him.
"Let’s go!"
"Yes!"
Long Da unleashed several streams of Spiritual Power to envelop Qin Ying, then nodded to Chen Xuan, and the two transford into two streams of light, flying towards the Imperial City.
"Whew——"
Not until seeing the two disappear from his sight did Chen Xuan exhale deeply.
"Ten years!"
He murmured in his heart.
"The Little Princess has always been doted on by people like us since she was little, and I’ve seen it too, she truly likes you."
"This ti she personally begged Emperor Yu."
"So... treat her well."
"Otherwise... you’ll be utterly destroyed!"
Liu Sheng casually uttered these four words, but Chen Xuan knew, if he wronged Qin Ying even slightly.
Then he would never let him go.
But——
Chen Xuan wasn’t the least bit afraid; instead, he asked, "Could it be that the Chief Eunuch doubts Qin Ying’s judgnt?"
Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"Such audacity!"
Not even the Prince of Great Yu would dare speak to him like this.
Yet... he wasn’t angry, instead, he felt quite pleased.
There are plenty who are obedient, but ones like him are rare.
But——
"The Little Princess’s judgnt is naturally not wrong, but this is a warning!"
"Understood, sir."
"That’s good then!"
Then he tore open space and stepped into the spatial fissure, disappearing from Chen Xuan’s sight.
A point, once reached, suffices; saying more is pointless.
Though, at least up to this point, Liu Sheng was still satisfied with him.
...
Qin Ying left, and Chen Xuan beca Prince Xuan, and Qin Ke beca the head of the Three Judicial Departnts.
It could be said that now, rMolan Mansion was their master and disciple’s territory.
The Crane King’s Mansion... no, it was now Prince Xuan’s Mansion.
Located at the very center of Moran City.
The whole mansion covered a thousand acres.
Divided into four gardens.
Each garden had a different representative style.
On the third day after Qin Ying left, Chen Xuan brought everyone to move in.
It wasn’t because he was impatient, but because it was heard that the Southern King was unwilling, and this ti he would send a large number of people to rMolan Mansion for a final struggle.
