Chapter 658: Leaving! The Imperial Decree of Succession!
However, he didn't seem to care at all.
That’s right, if the Lord of Pofeng City could find me, why didn’t he tell my cousin what my previous identity was?
They did not give up on the matter and found him back. Lan Ting was very surprised.
Only then did Lan Ting look at Zhuiyu seriously and carefully.
He was just as she had imagined, and he was still as handsome and good-looking when he grew up.
Even his temperament remains the same as before, he loves to have red eyes and is free and easy.
I can't hide my words.
I heard his name is Zhui Yu now? That's a good name.
Was he really feeling sorry for himself just now?
Lanting couldn't believe it.
All men in this world are hypocritical, and my cousin is also a man, so he is naturally no exception.
Lanting did not respond to Zhuiyu.
Zhui Yu was also taking a good look at her.
She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks like a peony.
She is completely different from the tender and chubby little girl she was when she was young.
Their reunion did not end with them hugging each other and crying bitterly, as Zhui Yu had imagined.
Instead, both of them were very calm and indifferent.
But Zhuiyu was happy.
He was very happy that Miao'er was such a good girl.
Although Lan Ting was interrupted from learning martial arts with Nanny Qin, he did not blame Zhuiyu.
She had been enduring this whole time, just wanting to impress Nanny Qin with her sincerity.
But Nanny Qin is really...ah.
Zhui Yu didn't come just now, and he wasn't going to endure it any longer.
At worst, I can just give up on this matter, but I won't get as angry as he does.
Was it really worth it for him to offend Nanny Qin?
Lan Ting felt obligated to remind Zhui Yu, "Cousin, that Nanny Qin's grandson is now the city lord's deputy general."
"Her granddaughter is also serving outside the city lord's study."
"If you create a rift with the City Lord because of Lan Ting... that would be bad."
"In this matter, you can just put all the blame on me."
"Lanting doesn't care."
"Now that things have come to this, Lan Ting will go down first."
After saying this, Lan Ting bowed and prepared to turn and leave.
The more Zhui Yu listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
He quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Lan Ting.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Why should I put everything on you?"
"Not to mention that I'm completely clueless about this matter."
"Miao'er, why do you think so?"
"You're afraid that I'll give up on you first, aren't you?"
"Miao'er, I know you won't believe me no matter how much I tell you. Why don't you just watch what your cousin does?"
After he finished speaking, he pulled Lan Ting's wrist again and said, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere first."
Zhuiyu took Lanting to the main courtyard in the backyard.
Pofeng had kept the main courtyard empty, waiting for Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi to move in when they came to Mantuo City.
So he, the city lord, only lived in a side courtyard.
Now, Li Qingluo is the mistress of the main backyard.
So the person Zhuiyu brought Lan Ting to see was Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo had just seen her grandmother off when she heard Nanny Zheng come to report that Zhui Yu had come with a very beautiful girl.
Li Qingluo guessed who this girl was and hurried out to take a look.
I found that this girl was indeed beautiful, and her beauty was hard to conceal even without makeup.
But she was dressed very simply.
There was only a wooden hairpin on her head.
Li Qingluo felt it was a pity that such a beautiful color was washed away by all the dross.
"princess."
"This is my cousin Miao'er, now called Lan Ting."
"I have been searching for her for over ten years, and now my brother and I are finally reunited. I have the audacity to ask you for a favor."
Li Qingluo sat in the corridor, staring at the two of them with a faint smile: "You say."
"I promise you."
Lan Ting, who was standing by, was filled with shock.
Is this the princess?
But the princess of King Lanhai?
She was indeed as beautiful as the rumors said.
Even though she was pregnant, it did not affect her noble and calm demeanor.
She was as extraordinary as a solitary orchid in a valley, making Tinglan feel ashamed of herself.
People like me...would it be polluting her place just by stepping into her yard?
She lowered her head and became a little nervous.
Zhui Yu gently pushed her forward.
"I'm so bold as to ask Madam Zheng to teach her martial arts herself. It doesn't have to be anything difficult, just enough to protect herself in the future."
"I am a man. If I teach her personally, I am afraid it will affect my cousin's reputation."
"So I can only leave this matter to the princess."
"That Nanny Qin in the front yard is someone close to Pofeng, a heartless old thing."
"It's been several months and Miao'er is still being tortured by her."
"Miao'er was so foolish that she thought she was the only one who couldn't do it."
"I just checked. Although her arms are a little weak, her lower body is still stable. She's not really that pedantic and has no talent for martial arts."
"That Nanny Qin must have said a lot of unpleasant things these days, which hurt Miao'er."
"Princess and Madam, please be more patient with her."
Li Qingluo looked at Madam Zheng with a smile.
"This is your business, you decide for yourself."
Although Nanny Zheng was surprised, she was more delighted.
"Can this old slave accept a disciple now?"
"That's possible!"
"Mr. Zhuiyu has never asked me to do anything for you before, so shouldn't I do this for you?"
"Don't worry, I have such a bright and beautiful girl. I have plenty of patience to teach her."
"Three months, and I'll show you some results!"
"Quick, let me take a look, and follow me down."
Lanting was dragged away in a daze.
She hadn't even realized what was happening.
When she later learned that Nanny Zheng had also been on the battlefield and was a subordinate of the old female general, she was ecstatic.
Lan Ting was also deeply shocked that Zhui Yu cared so much about him and even did it for him so quickly.
It turned out that he could get the fairy-like princess to agree to do his thing with just a few words.
And every word he said was carefully considered for his own benefit.
Only at this moment did Lan Ting vaguely realize that his cousin... seemed to be a really good person.
When Duan Rongshi came back in the evening, Li Qingluo told him about this.
"Ashi, do you think there will be two happy events this year?"
Duan Rongshi was also very pleased that Zhui Yu finally found his cousin.
But this woman's past experience is not glorious.
However, Zhuiyu himself didn't care, and those who knew the inside story naturally didn't say anything.
Duan Rongshi didn't even tell Li Qingluo.
He paused for a moment before adding, "Maybe three."
Li Qingluo: "Who else?"
Duan Rongshi: "Zongzheng Xingyao and Lengdian."
Under Li Qingluo's shocked gaze, he slowly said, "After you left, Zong Zheng Xingyao frequently came to our palace several times."
"She's got cold electricity wrapped around her."
"Let Leng Dian be her consort."
Li Qing's jaw nearly dropped.
"Could it be that the fake marriage in that cottage last time has caught the attention of this Seventh Princess?"
She just felt that she had missed another happy event.
After talking to these people for a while, Li Qingluo pestered Duan Rongshi to continue talking about what happened last night.
"You haven't told me why Mother imagines the appearance of the Queen of Loulan and the Queen Mother of Wusun!"
"Are these two also descendants of the Lanhai Nation?"
Duan Rongshi: "You've already guessed it, why do you still want to ask for clarification?"
"I don't know either."
"But when I went to Lanhai Kingdom before, I heard from my maternal uncle that during the civil war in Lanhai, my great-grandmother's biological sister was defeated miserably, so she left Lanhai with her family and children."
"That great-aunt and great-grandmother looked almost identical, so perhaps it's not surprising that there's a passing down of appearance."
Li Qingluo: "In that case, why don't we come and recognize each other as relatives?"
"Perhaps this will bring some unexpected surprises to future battles?"
Duan Rongshi scratched her nose and said, "What bad ideas do you have? Tell me about them."
In the blink of an eye, Li Qingluo's days of resting in the room were finally over.
She couldn't wait to leave the yard and began to arrange Que'er's marriage herself.
However, the war situation is urgent.
The Western Regions Army was defeated, and the reinforcements eventually broke through the border defense line.
However, Duan Rongshi was waiting for them.
Naturally, there will be another big battle.
This time, Duan Rongshi directly drove the Western Region army back five hundred miles and captured three of their cities.
This made the Chanyu Guduhou of the Western Regions Imperial Court very angry.
He immediately ordered the thirteen kingdoms to assemble their armies and once again march south and east to attack the Central Plains.
After receiving this news, Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi were not in a hurry.
The two of them first held a grand wedding for Que'er and Sha San in the City Lord's Mansion.
Then came the expedited imperial edict from Nan'an, which was sent eight hundred miles away.
When the King of Chu was critically ill, he summoned Duan Rong and immediately led his army back to the imperial city.
Li Qingluo's stomach was no longer suitable for long journeys.
After several discussions, she decided to stay in Mantuo City temporarily.
Duan Rongshi also left her an army of 100,000.
Then he hurried back to Nan'an with only the other 50,000 troops still stationed in the territory of Da Chu.
"Luo'er, I'll be back soon."
"Be sure to wait for me!"
Li Qingluo waited for him with confidence.
"Go ahead. The Western Region army won't arrive that quickly."
"Even if it comes, I can handle it."
Duan Rongshi felt very guilty but reluctant to let her go, so he had to keep her.
He also asked Zhuiyu and Pofeng to put Li Qingluo first and respect her in everything, and went to kowtow to Madam Pei and ask her to help guard Mantuo City. Then he left quickly with a heart full of concern.
He wanted to go and come back quickly.
However, what was waiting for him in Nan'an was the imperial edict of succession.
The King of Chu actually passed the throne of Chu to his own nephew!
Not his own son, not his own crown prince, but he passed the throne directly to the King of Yue, or even to the current commander-in-chief of the three armies - Li Wu.
However, before he handed over the edict of succession, he not only fulfilled his promise and issued an edict of repentance to Wei Wuhou Mansion, admitting his previous persecution of Wei Wuhou Mansion, but also revealed the truth about Duan Rongshi's life experience.
King Li Wu of Yue was not the real Li Wu.
But it is the only bloodline of his own sister.
Therefore, passing the throne to the King of Yue was the result of the King of Chu's willingness and repeated considerations.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the entire Chu was in an uproar.
Li Wu, the King of Yue is actually the only direct descendant of the Chu Emperor's younger sister?
Are these words really something that people in the world can understand?
Who in the world doesn't know that the only biological sister of the Emperor of Chu is Princess Qingyue who married far away in Daliang?
Princess Qingyue died a long time ago.
And isn’t Princess Qingyue’s only direct relative left in the world Prince Su of Daliang?
Didn’t Prince Su also die in the battlefield between Daliang and the Western Regions two years ago?
So, this person now is actually the Prince Su of Daliang?
Did he fake his death?
Oh no, should I say he is not dead?
Not only did he not die, he also returned to their Great Chu?
