Yun Siqing wasn't particularly moved; she had never cared much about rewards or honors.

However, these are all external things; she prefers new experiences to money.

Yang Qi looked at Yun Siqing with a kind smile and said, "Congratulations, Princess Yun."

Yun Siqing smiled and nodded: "You're too kind, sir."

Yang Qi nodded: "Then let's go back. The Emperor is waiting for us to return and report."

Yunlan nodded: "Alright, then I won't keep you any longer, sir."

"General, you're too kind. Please wait a moment."

Yunlan smiled and saw Yang Qi out before returning home.

He didn't give Yang Qi any money, and Yang Qi didn't think anything of it. He was a rough and uncultured man who knew Yun Lan well. He lost his wife a long time ago, so he didn't understand these things and didn't care.

Furthermore, Yunlan did indeed use all her money to help disaster victims.

Thinking of this, he smiled and left.

It's just unknown whether Princess Yun will become the Eighth Prince's consort in the future. The Emperor bestowed the title of princess upon her firstly because of Yun Lan's many years of military achievements, and secondly because he wanted to give Yun Siqing a status worthy of the Eighth Prince.

...

Xifeng Kingdom.

After a period of rest, Nangong Luoying has finally returned to her normal life.

For a while, she would scream in fear whenever the lights were turned off, and she would think of the endless darkness whenever she closed her eyes.

Since then, the lights in the Cherry Blossom Palace have never been extinguished.

Seeing that she had recovered a lot, Ying'er took a small box that Sang Jiang had given her before she left and handed it to Nangong Luoying: "Princess, this is what Princess Mingyue asked me to give you before she left."

"Royal sister?" Nangong Luoying's eyes lit up. She reached out and took the box, opening it impatiently.

Inside were two books and a letter.

She excitedly picked up the two books, which were clearly labeled "The Little Princess of the Cunning General 3" and "The Little Princess of the Cunning General: Side Story".

She suppressed the urge to open the book and picked up the letter, slowly unfolding it.

The content wasn't very long, containing only two things: the first was to instruct her to take good care of the Emperor, and the second was about Consort Su.

After reading the entire letter, Nangong Luoying felt a chill run down her spine.

She truly never expected that a woman could be so cunning.

She clutched the letter in her hand and looked at Ying'er: "Have someone prepare a sedan chair; I'm going to the Crown Prince's residence."

Seeing her serious expression, Ying'er knew it was no small matter, even though she didn't know what had happened. She curtsied to Nangong Luoying and said, "This servant will go right away."

Nangong Luoying then opened the letter again and read it carefully.

After watching it, she felt a cold sweat break out on her back once again.

In her letter, the princess told her that Zhao Lianyan's kindness towards Su Su was intentional. She wanted Su Su's child to be too big to be born, which could result in the death of both mother and child, and she could still gain a reputation for being virtuous.

She explained why Zhao Lianyan was so kind to Su Su when the infighting among the concubines in the harem was so intense; it turned out that she had this in mind.

Nangong Luoying's hands, which were hanging at her sides, suddenly clenched into a fist.

Her elder sister treated her with such deep affection, she was determined to take good care of Su Su to repay her.

Moreover, she didn't dislike Su Liangdi; she didn't want her to die.

She glanced at the letter in her hand, thought for a moment, and then walked to the candle next to her and burned it.

This is, after all, related to the Crown Prince's residence and the Empress's elder sister. If it gets discovered later, it will likely give people something to gossip about.

It was already difficult enough for her elder sister to go on a political marriage; she couldn't let her sister have any more worries.
