Qianchen was slightly stunned when he heard this and asked:
"The princess is a noble lady from the capital, how could she travel with a bunch of rough guys like us?
Furthermore, according to the princess, Princess Chang'an doesn't know your whereabouts? I'm afraid she'll be anxiously looking for you.
Princess, it's better to return to the capital as soon as possible!"
Li Qingyao's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she said:
"Take me away, I won't go back!
My mother wants me to marry my uncle, King Mo Ying.
My uncle is only four or five years older than me, but after all, he's older than me. I can't accept it!"
Qianchen looked at the misty eyes of the woman in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
He began to speak:
“I didn’t expect Princess Chang’an to be so disregardful of the princess’s thoughts and force you!
In that case, Princess, please pack up and come downstairs. After breakfast, we will set off!
However, this journey will probably not be as comfortable as the Princess's Mansion in Jianzhou City, so Princess, please think carefully."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyao could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and they slid down her cheeks!
But she smiled and said:
“I’ve already thought about it!
This is the first time I have left Jianzhou City since I was a child!
I have also always lived under the control of my mother, and I did whatever she asked me to do.
I can tolerate everything else, but I can’t accept marrying my uncle!
Especially since my uncle and Princess Anping are in love with each other, what would it matter if I interfered and married her?
Now I know that being respectful and filial to one’s mother should not be blind!
I am a person, and I have the final say on how I will go forward!"
She wiped the tears from her face, looked at Qianchen, and said:
"Thank you, sir, for taking me with you. I just don't know what to call you."
Qianchen was really shocked when he heard this.
Princess Xuanning, who was known for her elegance in Jianzhou City, actually spoke her heart out to him so frankly.
Especially the princess's words:
She has the final say on how she will go in the future!
Qianchen looked at the woman in front of him. Although she was frail, her eyes were filled with determination!
He unconsciously developed a desire to protect her.
He came back to his senses when he heard the woman calling him, and said hurriedly:
"My name is Qianchen."
At the same time, in Jianzhou City, at the Princess's Mansion.
Hundreds of servants and soldiers were kneeling all over the yard!
Princess Chang'an frowned, her eyes flashing with uncontrollable anger!
She actually only discovered today that the princess had left the house secretly at noon yesterday and never came back!
Princess Chang'an glared at the servants in the yard and shouted:
"You can't even keep an eye on the princess! Go out and find her for me!"
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped everyone and said:
"stop!
You must go to the princess quietly and don't let any news leak out!"
The fact that the princess did not return home at night must not be known to others, otherwise the woman’s reputation would be ruined!
Prince Consort Li Qinxing said complainingly:
"Isn't it your fault that you gambled Yao'er's marriage?
Didn’t you want Yao’er to marry Qi Nanyan before?
Fortunately I didn't listen to you! Otherwise, my whole family would have been sent to jail as well!
Now that you see Lao Jiu has won the battle, are you starting to feel excited again?
Don't you think that Lao Jiu is a worry-free person? How dare you ask Yao'er to marry him? "
Princess Chang'an glared coldly and said:
"Yan'er is one step behind. If it succeeds, just based on our Yao'er's character and appearance, why can't she become his queen?
Now I have to settle for the next best thing, and just want to rely on Lao Jiu's military achievements to ensure that my Chang'an Princess Mansion has a few more decades of glory. What's wrong with that?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qinxing's face darkened. He reached out and covered Princess Chang'an's mouth, saying:
"Be careful with your words! Do you know what you are saying?
The emperor called you and me into the palace two days ago to warn us!
Do you think the emperor doesn't know that you were close to Qi Nanyue before?
The emperor only showed you mercy for the sake of the late emperor!
If you continue to speak without restraint like this, I'm afraid that everyone in my Li family will be buried with you!
The most urgent thing is to find Yao'er. When she comes back, you must never have such thoughts again!"
Princess Chang'an didn't take Li Qinxing's words to heart!
Don't think like that?
Oh, if it weren't for her status, could his Li family be so prosperous today with only him as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites?
How could she be so blind to choose such a coward!
Princess Chang'an glared at Li Qinxing and walked towards the front yard.
Not only did she have to think about this, but she also had to get it done before Qi Nanyuan ascended the throne.
After all, she supported Qi Nanyue at the beginning, and she was afraid that Qi Nanyuan would have a grudge against her.
But as soon as she walked out of the mansion, she saw a carriage galloping towards the princess's mansion!
The carriage stopped in front of Princess Chang'an, the curtains were opened, and inside was...
