Princess and the General

t.
She will definitely be fine.
Moreover, the Gu family’s army should currently be on its way back.
If madam runs into them, there won’t be any need to worry.”

Ning TangShu nodded, “That’s right.
She and Princess ZhenJiang get along so well.
Princess ZhenJiang will definitely help her.
I hope that they meet as soon as possible.”

After he said this, he started walking out of the tent.
Cui Ya shouted to him, “Young sir, where are you going?”

“As a member of the imperial family, it’s natural that I should be next to His Majesty’s remains and escort them back to the palace!”

The howling wind outside covered his voice, and Cui Ya watched his parting figure move further and further away.
There was a hint of determination in his movements.

…

Kun YuYang headed west on a galloping horse.

At the start, she would occasionally look behind her.
After verifying that there were no soldiers giving chase, she turned all of her attention to the road ahead.

When she passed by a ravine, she lit the dark green clothes on fire and tossed them down the cliff.
Ensuring that there was nothing left, she continued to go west.

She had previously traveled along this official road.

At that time, it was spring.
On Emperor Kun’s orders, she was going to Eastern Ling’s capital for a political marriage.
It was called a political marriage, but it was actually meant to deceive Eastern Ling’s people into thinking that Western Kun truly wanted to improve their relations with Eastern Ling.

The her of that time was constantly looking at the horses outside.
She thought that if she could see the scenery that Eastern Ling had to offer, she would be able to die without any regrets.

Who knew that after Western Kun started their assault, Emperor Ning would not have her executed and would allow her to get married on schedule.

It had only been half a year, but much had changed, yet she was on this road once more.

When she was coming to Eastern Ling, she was full of despair and fear.
Now, she was resolute and wanted to reveal the truth!

She could not allow the eldest prince, someone who killed his own father and ruler, to succeed.
She could not allow Yin Shuo, who was completely opposed to Marquis Gu’s Manor, to succeed.
She could not allow the kind Emperor Ning to have died in vain!

The cold wind blew in her face and felt like being cut by tiny blades.
She had left in a hurry, and she was wearing a brocade dress that the noble ladies in the capital would wear.
It was exceptionally beautiful but did not block the wind.

She had no choice but to grit her teeth, as she did not dare to stop for rest.

Off in the distance, the sun was starting to rise.

“Whoa…”

Kun YuYang pulled on the reins to stop her horse.
She figured that Emperor Ning’s body should already be on its way back to the capital.
Who knew just how this situation might progress.

Would her husband be suspected by the eldest prince and meet with an accident?

She did not dare think too hard about it.
There was just one thought in her mind, and that was to move quicker!

As long as Marquis Gu knew about this matter, he definitely would not just ignore it!

The horse set off once more, and all that could be seen in the warm yellow light was the figure of a resolute girl.

There was also a long line of tracks from her horse’s hooves…
