Chapter 599: The Last Princess Arrives (Part 3)
"Master, it's bad! The new troops are coming in!"
"Princess, what should we do? What should we do? Will they kill us?"
"Where's the emperor? Princess, shall we go find him?"
"Don't clean up! Escaping is more important!"
As soon as Gu Qingcheng regained consciousness, chaotic voices rang in her ears.
There were no shouts or cries of killing outside, but there were all kinds of cries and shouts of panic and fear.
This is when the plot begins—the palace is breached! Swish! Gu Qingcheng opened her eyes and saw a magnificent sight of carved beams and painted buildings.
What a luxurious palace.
Come to think of it, the original owner was the last princess of the dynasty.
Not a princess, not a servant pretending to be a princess, but a real princess.
Although they are fictional characters, since they exist in the world of novels, they will be given "reasonable" settings.
However, the huge palace was already in a mess.
The palace maids, eunuchs and others were all in chaos.
They either shouted randomly or started grabbing things frantically.
The dynasty had collapsed long ago, and over the past decade or so, the emperor, princess, and others had been huddled in a small palace, barely surviving.
Today, the new army forced the emperor to abdicate, and even the last dream of the dynasty was shattered.
The imperial power had long lost its deterrent effect, and even the once loyal servants could only take care of themselves at this moment.
As for the master Gu Qingcheng, the eighteen-year-old princess of a fallen country, no one cared about her at all.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Without bothering to argue with these people, she quickly integrated the original owner's memory, stood up, and ran outside.
She is the daughter of the late emperor and the empress dowager, a true royal daughter.
Although she was not the boy that everyone had been expecting, her birth broke the fifty-year record of no crying babies in the palace.
As soon as she was born, the late emperor, who was already bedridden, conferred her the title of Qingcheng Gulun Princess.
The queen mother was also very happy - Princess Qingcheng had the blood of both the Ai and Ye families.
Moreover, the little baby was snow-white when it was born, without the red and wrinkled skin of ordinary babies.
"When she grows up, she will be a stunning beauty."
The Queen Mother was nearing the end of her life, but she still held on with all her might, holding the newborn baby in her arms.
A light flashed in her cloudy eyes: Perhaps, this child could be like the legendary old lady of the Ye family, captivating everyone and enchanting the world!
"The future of our Ye family may depend on this child!"
The Queen Mother was so happy that before she died, she took out one third of her private treasury and left it all to Princess Qingcheng.
The previous emperor and empress dowager passed away one after another, and the original owner's mother became the empress dowager.
But by this time, the dynasty was already in decline and the empress dowager no longer had the power she once had.
Afterwards, he took the initiative to abdicate! Although he lost his imperial power, he still had wealth.
Empress Dowager Ye loved her only daughter, and felt guilty for not being able to give her the true respect of a Princess Gulun, so she could only provide financial support to her.
Two years ago, Empress Dowager Ye passed away and left all her private property to the original owner.
"...Two inheritances, priceless!"
Gu Qingcheng didn't care about the so-called "riotous soldiers" or the eunuchs and palace maids. She ran out of the bedroom and went straight to her own storeroom.
She had to take all of these away before she was expelled! Huoshui saw Gu Qingcheng frantically putting boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings into the storage grid, and the whole situation was not good.
Your Majesty, your plan is truly brilliant!
Did you foresee that there would be such a setting in the novel? Gu Qingcheng: ... Of course I couldn't predict it, but the four words "be prepared for any eventuality" are never wrong! After Gu Qingcheng collected the treasures from the two warehouses, he went straight to the emperor's private warehouse.
Well, if she doesn't take these things, they will be snatched away by the soldiers.
If you are not careful, it will benefit your "enemy"! Although Gu Qingcheng's character value has been raised to 70 points, her nature has never changed.
Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven has lived two lives. She can endure hardships, but she will never suffer losses! The Last Emperor was also packing up his things.
The new army entered the palace and ordered him to be expelled.
This time, unlike more than ten years ago, there is still room for maneuver.
This time, he was really going to be driven out! The last emperor was angry, panicked, and terrified, but he could do nothing about it.
Faced with new recruits armed with guns and nuclear bombs, the last emperor could only maintain his dignity as an emperor while secretly asking his trusted eunuchs to pack up his belongings.
Even though you have lost your home, at least you should take some valuables with you.
"Your Majesty, are we really going to leave?"
The one who was speaking was the empress, who had been married to the emperor for only two or three years.
Although she could only stay in the palace after the wedding, she was still an honorable queen.
But now, the rebel army is forcing the palace, and she, who has only been the queen for two years, is...
"If I don't leave, what else can I do?"
"Stop talking useless nonsense, pack up your things and go!"
"Oh, bring Consort Shu and Consort Xian along as well!"
"Queen, now is not the time to be in a bad mood. We are a family and we must behave properly."
The last emperor said, "The family should be together," but he only wanted to remind the queen to bring the two concubines with her.
As for Princess Qingcheng, he subconsciously forgot about her.
In fact, it is easy to understand. The last emperor was not the biological son of the previous emperor, but an adopted nephew.
Princess Qingcheng is the only bloodline of the late emperor.
Just because he was not a man, he missed the throne.
But in terms of status, Princess Qingcheng is more noble and orthodox.
Things were fine when Empress Dowager Ye was around, and the Last Emperor treated Princess Qingcheng as his own sister.
But with the death of Empress Dowager Ye, the last emperor gradually distanced himself from this adopted sister.
Now, at the critical moment of escape, the last emperor even forgot about Princess Qingcheng! Gu Qingcheng: ...Thank you! But it's better this way! No one pays attention, which allows Gu Qingcheng to be "busy" to her heart's content.
The last emperor and his one queen and two concubines had no space plug-in, so even if they wanted to take more things with them, they couldn't take them with them.
He could only pack up a dozen large boxes and leave in a hurry with his trusted palace maids.
"Princess! I finally found you!"
"Woohoo! The rebels have begun searching the palace!"
"Your Majesty and the Queen have also left. They, they have forgotten you!"
The original owner was not a complete failure. After all, there were still one or two reliable palace servants around him.
Two palace maids, aged seventeen or eighteen, stumbled over to find Gu Qingcheng, who had just filled up seventeen storage compartments.
The two of them supported Gu Qingcheng on the left and right, crying and urging her.
"Okay! Let's go!"
Gu Qingcheng didn't care what kind of grudges and hatreds the original owner had with the "commander-in-chief".
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Now, it's her turn to be Princess Qingcheng, and all these things have nothing to do with her.
As for the scenes of imprisonment, pursuit, heart-wrenching and physical torture, Gu Qingcheng was not interested in them.
She possesses the memories of the original owner, and the original owner, as the most honorable princess in the palace, grew up in this world since childhood.
She also knew of a secret passage that only the emperor and empress knew!
"Walk!"
In order to conceal her identity, Gu Qingcheng packed some gold and silver jewelry.
She and two palace maids, each carrying a large bag, left the palace directly through a secret passage.
Inside the palace, there was a young and handsome man wearing a dark blue military uniform and shiny leather boots.
He rode on a horse, with no respect for the imperial power at all, and actually rode slowly along the imperial road.
With a horsewhip in his hand, he watched with interest those nobles who were once high and mighty, but now left in a miserable state like lost dogs.
"…Wait? Why is there one missing?"
The man narrowed his eyes and glanced at the last emperor and his wives, concubines, and followers again.
It is very easy to distinguish between masters and servants.
The masters were only the last emperor, one empress and two concubines, and the rest were servants.
"Your Majesty, there is one person missing!"
The man originally didn't want to speak, but he took the initiative to volunteer to come and force the emperor to abdicate, all for "her".
As a result, this person was the only one missing from the crowd.
"What?"
The last emperor was about to leave in a hurry, but was stopped by a group of people.
He was very scared.
Although he was an emperor, there were not many emperors who were beheaded abroad. Could it be that this warlord regretted his decision?
You don't want to let him go? You want to kill him?
Damn it!
These soldiers deserve to die! I am the supreme ruler, the emperor!
How could these slaves be so rebellious? So presumptuous? The last emperor was both terrified and angry. He bit his back teeth hard, and his teeth chattered.
"I said, there's one person missing!"
Seeing the last emperor's fearful look but trying to maintain his dignity, a hint of scorn flashed in the man's eyes.
Humph, this is what is called a noble person!
Once you fall from the throne, you are actually no different from ordinary people.
They are also afraid of death!
"One person is missing?"
The last emperor was stunned for a moment, and regardless of fear or anger, he turned his head to look.
Queen, here!
Concubine Shu is here!
Xianfei, is here too! Quite a few——
Wait, Princess Qingcheng!
"Qingcheng, Qingcheng should still be in the palace! She, she hasn't been feeling well these past few days, maybe she doesn't know——"
"Someone! Quick, go pick up the princess!"
Realizing that he had forgotten about his adopted sister, the Last Emperor felt somewhat ashamed.
He shouted loudly on purpose to cover up his embarrassment.
The eunuchs and palace maids did not move.
What a joke, they managed to escape with great difficulty.
He was about to leave the palace, but he had to run back for a beautiful princess!
What if these soldiers in front of me change their minds? They don’t want to die!
The last emperor was furious. It was fine that the soldiers outside did not take him seriously as an emperor, but how could his own servants dare to "disobey the imperial order"? The man on horseback saw this and laughed out loud.
When the last emperor heard the laughter, he became even more ashamed and angry.
"Forget it, let me go and greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Come to think of it, the princess and I are old acquaintances!"
A strange light flashed in the man's cold and clear eyes.
I can’t tell whether it’s hatred or nostalgia.
After not seeing you for a few years, beautiful and proud little princess, how are you? I, Huo Yun, am back.
I just don’t know that someone as noble as you are still unable to remember the “slaves” who were once beaten and abused by you.
I, your servant, have always remembered you and look forward to meeting you again! Huo Yun curled his lips and showed a cruel smile...
