Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.
In fact, this was also Qingge's original intention in sending them to Weilong Kingdom.
They are trained to become sharp weapons; if they are not warlike, they are just a bunch of pretty but useless vases!
Meanwhile, inside the palace, King Qingyang of the Weilong Kingdom was frowning with worry.
"Your Highness, Princess Qingge's return suggests she may be planning something big!" said the eunuch Ruyi beside him.
Qingyang glanced at him and said, "When has Princess Qingge ever not made a big move?"
"But what I'm afraid of is that she might harm His Highness!" Ruyi said, her eyes darting around.
Qingyang narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Eunuch Ruyi. "Then shouldn't I find someone to keep an eye on her?"
Eunuch Ruyi beamed with joy, "Your Highness is wise!"
"Well, go find ten maids to take care of Princess Qingge." Qingyang said calmly. "Don't call me at the morning court these next two days. The memorials submitted are all trivial matters with red tape. You can handle them as you see fit!"
"Yes!" Eunuch Ruyi said with a delighted expression.
Qingyang rose and said, "Prepare the carriage and return to the palace!"
"Respectfully seeing off Your Highness." Eunuch Ruyi knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully.
The main hall was empty, and Eunuch Ruyi sat smugly on the dragon throne.
Qingyang remained in the corner, coldly watching the "eunuch" sitting on the dragon throne, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Upon leaving the palace, General Yang Wei was waiting outside the gate.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Yang Wei said respectfully.
"Oh, it's Minister Yang. You deserve much credit for this exchange of princesses. Tell me, what do you want? A fiefdom or fertile land? I can give you either!" Qingyang said with a smile.
"Your Highness, protecting Her Highness is my duty." Yang Wei's eyes first showed a hint of joy, but his tone was respectful and devoid of any desire.
"Minister Yang, just say it! Don't be so polite with me!" Qingyang said with a slight smile.
Yang Wei lowered his head and said shyly, "Your Majesty, I have admired you since childhood, and I wish to..."
Before Yang Wei could finish speaking, a soldier rushed over in a panic, shouting, "Something's wrong! Something's wrong, General!"
"What kind of behavior is this, behaving so flustered in front of His Highness!" Yang Wei scolded. "What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"
Qingyang, standing to the side, coldly watched the soldier without saying a word.
Upon seeing Qingyang beside him, the soldier hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, General Yang, there are four women outside who have broken through the city gate and rushed in!"
"What?!" Qingyang was stunned, and a sense of panic immediately rose in his heart.
