Chapter 593 Farewell, Nanping's Last Words!

Jinling?

Why would someone from Jinling write to her?

Li Qingluo was certain that she had disappeared without a trace when she left back then.

Therefore, we have completely lost contact with Jinling in the past two years.

Moreover, even his old friends in Jinling probably don't know whether he is alive or dead.

Moreover, he himself was in Nan'an.

Who is looking for her?

She took the letter and heard Sha Yi say, "It was forwarded by Rong Le."

"They must have found Rong Le's son. The son knows where we are now, so he sent this letter over."

That's correct.

After Li Jingchuan and Alan got married, they returned to Jinling.

Therefore, if someone tries to find him, they might contact Li Jingchuan.

Just as Li Qingluo was about to open the letter, the crowd erupted in another uproar.

Only then did she realize that Duan Rongshi's men had arrived at the front.

She looked up and saw him riding majestically on a tall horse, leading the grand procession.

Moreover, he was wearing a mask.

Despite wearing only a half-face mask, his handsome features were still undeniable.

Li Qingluo was somewhat surprised: He was no longer wearing the human skin mask?

Was it the Chu Emperor's intention, or his own?

Is it about to slowly reveal its true face to the world?

"It's Your Highness, Your Highness is here—"

Granny Zheng and Que'er both stood up excitedly.

Li Qingluo was also helped to stand in front of the carriage.

Because of its height, it stands out quite a bit.

Although she wore a veil.

But Duan Rongshi still caught sight of her with a casual glance.

A barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

His gaze fell deeply on her, and in that instant, the world seemed to disappear from his eyes, leaving only the two of them gazing at each other with deep affection.

His gaze was too focused.

Even the onlookers noticed that something was wrong with the King of Yue.

What's so interesting about the left side?

The once stern and imposing Prince Yue suddenly seemed to have melted away like ice and snow, becoming... much more approachable.

"Who is His Highness the King of Yue looking at?"

"Yes, could it be that his wife has arrived?"

"Is she the Princess Consort of Yue?"

Where is the Princess Consort of Yue?

Everyone rushed to look in Li Qingluo's direction.

Li Qingluo quickly turned around and got into the carriage.

Fortunately, their carriage stopped at the entrance of an alley.

Moreover, the carriage had no markings, so even if the common people saw it, they would never know that the Yue Queen, who had captured the Yue King's deep gaze, was inside such a simple carriage.

Back in the carriage, Li Qingluo immediately said, "Your Highness still needs to return to the palace to report."

"Let's go back to the manor first."

"Go back and prepare a welcome banquet for His Highness."

Everyone was delighted: "Yes!"

Seeing her run away as if fleeing, Duan Rongshi reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Since returning to the city last time, he and Luo'er haven't had a single proper conversation.

If he didn't have to go to the palace, he would have rushed to her immediately and simply followed her home.

If it weren't for the need to save face for Zongzheng Langri, he really wouldn't want to go to this palace today.

Thinking about her leaving, he couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.

At this moment, all he wanted was to hurry into the palace to finish his task, and then go home to hold his beloved Luo'er and pour out his heart.

Thinking of this, Duan Rongshi stopped his leisurely pace and suddenly lifted the reins, shouting "Giddy up!" and spurred his horse toward the palace.

Luo'er, wait for me!

On her way back to the mansion, Li Qinglu opened the letter that Sha Yi had sent.

She was pleasantly surprised when she unfolded the document and saw the handwriting.

"It's Princess Nanping! It's actually her?"

Why is she writing a letter to herself?

Li Qingluo quickly looked down, and the more she looked, the more serious her expression became.

"Young lady, what happened?"

Sparrow was very curious and handed over the teacup.

Li Qingluo's face was full of worry: "Nanping has been sent to the Western Regions for a political marriage."

Sister Luo'er:

Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person; opening it brings a smile to my face.

I wonder how you have been these past two years?

But in reality, I don't even know if you're still alive, so how can I know if you're alright?

I don't even know if this letter will ever reach you.

I only ask that your elder brother, upon receiving this letter, forward it to you. The reason for this is that I've been taking care of your half-sister, Huan'er, and it was only when your half-brother returned to Jinling that I discovered you actually had an older brother.

I'm very happy for you because of this.

Because your older brother, although he seems sickly, is at least a kind and benevolent elder brother.

So, if this letter cannot reach you... I will add a note asking him to burn it for me.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye since Sister Luo'er left. I still remember the year I first met Sister Luo'er, I was only fourteen and you were sixteen.

Now, I'm already over seventeen.

Sister Luo'er, do you know that since you left, the world in Jinling has changed?

My mother suddenly became a different person. No, perhaps she had always been like this, but she had hidden it too deeply before. So my father and I couldn't accept it for a while, and we argued with her several times.

Later I learned that it was because my mother had witnessed something too cruel when she was young, so she had never let go of hatred in her heart.

Over the years, she had already exhausted all her efforts just to survive. Now that her grandfather had fallen and the former crown prince had died, her mother quickly seized control of her grandfather's life and death, and also held a portion of the power that even her third uncle dared not interfere with.

The father wanted the mother to let go of her past hatred and desire to return to their peaceful life.

But my mother has come this far with great difficulty, and even if my father doesn't understand, she has no intention of giving up.

And so, our once harmonious and happy family is now teetering on the brink of collapse.

Sister Luo'er, the conflict between your mother and your third uncle is escalating.

The third imperial uncle was appointed as the new crown prince by the emperor's grandfather.

His position as crown prince was not yet secure, and his foundation was unstable, yet there was my mother, the eldest daughter of the emperor, who was eyeing him covetously and wanted to compete for power with him.

In order to keep my grandfather alive, my mother has gone to great lengths over the past two years, using all sorts of insidious methods, just to keep him on his last breath.

That's why the Crown Prince's third uncle won't be able to ascend the throne smoothly.

The siblings both wanted the other dead.

And the more gruesome the death, the better.

Therefore, Nanjing is now also embroiled in bloodshed and is no longer peaceful.

You might not believe it, but Princess Xiyue looks like this now.

But she had no way out.

Last month, something about my mother fell into the hands of my third uncle.

In order to extricate myself from this situation, my mother had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree to my third uncle's plan to marry me off to the Western Regions.

Since Zongzheng Yu'er died, I heard that Da Chu still intends to marry another princess to them. Two years ago, I was still laughing and saying that Da Chu was a pushover and that the Western Regions would swallow them up one day.

Unexpectedly, this happened to our Great Liang so quickly, and to me first.

Since the death of the Fifth Imperial Uncle in battle, the morale of the Great Liang Dynasty has plummeted.

It's like a warrior whose spine has been broken, and now he can never stand up again.

The Pei family also lost its capable generals.

Your Li family has also completely declined.

The rest of the Zhong family, including others, have all disappeared over the years.

Now, the entire Liang Dynasty can no longer find a single true general.

Daliang has reached the point where there is no one left to use.

Originally, the Third Imperial Uncle could have led an expedition to fight against the people of the Western Regions, which might have boosted the morale of the troops and even helped them win the war against the Western Regions.

However, the Third Imperial Uncle feared that once he left Jinling, his mother would completely eradicate his influence and even gain complete control of the entire city.

Therefore, facing the powerful attack from the Western Regions, the Liang Dynasty, which had been suffering repeated defeats, finally admitted defeat.

Not only did they cede the city, but they also lost countless treasures of gold and silver.

Now, another 'princess' will be sent as a marriage alliance.

Yes, Sister Luo'er, they made me a princess in order to arrange my marriage.

At first, my mother was naturally vehemently opposed. I was her most beloved daughter, and she even considered assassinating my third uncle because of this.

However, the mother ultimately lost this matter.

She had no choice but to give me up, or else she would have to abandon her grand plan that she had been working on for many years.

I couldn't bear to see my mother compromise for me, I didn't want her to fail at her goal, and I didn't want her to harbor resentment for the rest of her life.

Therefore, I have no complaints about this matter.

Moreover, they now only hope that I can marry into the Western Regions faster than the people of Great Chu.

With the external war over, Mother and Third Imperial Uncle can finally settle their score.

But if the Great Chu can act faster than us, perhaps they won't want me, a princess whose status isn't very high, when they form an alliance?

I can only pin my hopes on this matter day and night, but I know it's just wishful thinking.

If the Great Chu wanted to marry off a princess, it would have sent a new princess to the Western Regions long ago.

Why wait another two years?

Sister Luo'er, I think we will never see each other again in this life, right?

If I am destined to die in the Western Regions, and you are still alive, please remember me in the season when wildflowers bloom, pick a bunch of wildflowers for me, and remember Nanping.

Sister Luo'er, goodbye forever.

Nanping, my final words!

After reading the letter, Li Qingluo felt her heart sink into an abyss.

What is a final note, and why is it a final note?

Does this mean she will never write letters again?

Did she know all along that she would die in the Western Regions?

That idiot, doesn't she like Cui Qilang?

Why hasn't Qilang married her after all these years?

Now it's her turn to be sent on a political marriage?

Furthermore, the Great Liang was clearly a powerful and prosperous nation, and it was the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms for many years!

In just a few years, it has become so vulnerable that it has come to the humiliation of having to marry off a princess and cede territory and pay reparations.

Li Qinglu felt extremely distressed.

It is called Daliang, and also Nanping.

Duan Rongshi finally managed to leave the palace before the gates were locked.
