In the entire Great Gan Kingdom, there was no one who could command the mighty General Tantai Qingchuan to lead the way on horseback.
Besides Emperor Tai'an, it would probably be Princess Zhaoyang.
Shi Yu, nestled in He Qiu Niang's arms, curiously craned her neck to look out.
[Gua66, that's the person who kissed my mom last time.]
Why is this person here today?
[Could they have come specifically to pick up my mother from prison?]
How is that possible?
He Qiuniang blushed.
Why does this sweet little girl always have to bring up the most sensitive topics?
Gua66's voice was tinged with excitement.
[Yu Yu, I have some melons from Tantai Qingchuan.]
[There's juicy gossip!] Shi Yu's big, dark, beautiful eyes lit up instantly.
There's nothing in this world more appealing to her than gossiping.
If there is such a thing as eating meat while eating melons, then it's like eating watermelon.
[Speak quickly, speak quickly!]
I want a giant watermelon!
Gua66: [Recently, the Empresses of the East and West Palaces have deliberately spread rumors in order to force Tantai Qingchuan to marry their daughter.]
Shi Yu, [What's going on?]
According to Gua66, [the reason why Tantai Qingchuan hasn't married for so many years is because he has someone else in his heart.]
Moreover, this person holds a high position of power and influence, making him someone the man cannot possibly reach.
【What? Could it be that Tantai Qingchuan likes Emperor Tai'an?】 Shi Yu's sweet voice was instantly surprised.
Her surprised, explosive voice almost startled Tantai Qingchuan, who was sitting upright on his tall horse.
This little kid's words can not only kill, but also destroy one's spirit.
Why did he come to like Emperor Tai'an?
Emperor Tai'an was old enough to be his father.
【No. It's not Emperor Tai'an.】Gua66 quickly denied it.
[It's Princess Zhaoyang.]
[Stepmother and stepson, an incestuous relationship.]
Shi Yu's sweet voice was even more surprised, and the light in her eyes almost shone down on the sun.
"Cough cough cough..." This time, coughing sounds came from inside the carriage.
Upon hearing the cough, the He family members trembled and quickly lowered their heads in fright.
At this moment, the He family members were truly suffering.
Is Shi Yu planning to send them all away with that little mouth of hers?
However, Shi Yu, who was catching the juiciest gossip, didn't care what others thought.
She continued talking to Gua66 with a smile.
Princess Zhaoyang is quite old now; she could be my grandmother.
Gua66, [Who can argue with that?]
[Therefore, Princess Zhaoyang accompanied Tantai Qingchuan today to refute the rumors.]
[Debunking the rumor?] Shi Yu was curious and puzzled.
[Clarification: Shouldn't those two have gone far away?]
Just like in the plays, one man went to a distant town to guard the border, never to return.
[One is trapped deep within the palace, never to leave the capital.]
The He family members: That's right, they also think that makes sense.
Gua66, [No, that's not it.]
They came out today to propose marriage.
"A marriage proposal?" Shi Yu was even more surprised.
Who are you proposing to? Do I even know them?
[Later, we'll ride our little green and little blue bikes along and catch up on the rest of the gossip.]
Gua66: [Yuyu, you know this person too?]
"Who is it?" Shi Yu was even more surprised.
Gua66, [that's your mother.]
[What? It's my mom!] Shi Yu's sweet, childlike voice exploded even more!
"How should I put it?" Shi Yu quickly calmed down.
[This Princess Zhaoyang and this mighty general truly have excellent taste.]
[I'm not exaggerating, this is amazing!]
Honestly, there are very few women in the entire capital city better than my mother.
[Beautiful, wealthy, virtuous, and fertile, with both a son and a daughter.]
If Tantai Qingchuan marries my mother, he can become a father immediately and won't have to worry about having children.
Tantai Qingchuan: For some reason, I feel that Shi Yu's words have some twisted logic.
"Cough~" Another cough came from inside the carriage.
As the carriage curtain opened, Tantai Qingchuan dismounted, and everyone immediately bowed their heads and knelt down.
"Greetings to Princess Zhaoyang, greetings to the mighty General."
Princess Zhaoyang dismounted, and Tantai Qingchuan stood beside her.
"Madam He," Princess Zhaoyang said in a particularly gentle voice.
"Have you suffered any mistreatment while you were inside these past few days?"
"No," He Qiuniang quickly replied.
"Everyone has been very kind to me."
After He Qiuniang finished speaking, her palms secretly became sweaty.
Although she was nervous, strangely enough, she didn't feel afraid of Princess Zhaoyang.
"That day, it was Kiyokawa who was abrupt with you..."
“Your Highness, I was not disturbed by anyone that day. I left the palace directly with Princess Yun’an.”
With a "thud!", He Qiuniang lifted her skirt and knelt down.
"As for General Tantai, I have never even met him before."
He Qiuniang directly shut down Princess Zhaoyang's words.
How could a mighty and powerful general possibly propose marriage to a divorced woman?
The intrigues and schemes involved were far beyond what a woman like her could possibly see through.
If she really overestimates herself and gets close to him, she probably won't even know how she died.
“Madam He, please stand up and speak,” said Princess Zhaoyang.
"This humble servant dares not." He Qiuniang kowtowed deeply to Princess Zhaoyang.
He Qiuniang had already learned of Princess Zhaoyang's intentions from her obedient youngest daughter's inner thoughts.
