The Seventh Princess: "I have already sent someone to do what you asked me to do for you."
"I heard that the Queen Mother's face looked very unhappy and she lost her composure on the spot."
"That palace maid's death...could it be related to you?"
Li Qingluo: "Your Highness, it's better for you not to ask too much."
"This matter involves the Fourth Prince and the Empress. If you know too much, it will not be beneficial to your safety."
The Seventh Princess was a little angry.
Why did she want someone to do something for her again, but then hide the whole story from her without letting her know?
Isn't this just a pure attempt to take advantage of me?
"you!"
The Seventh Princess' eyes widened in anger.
Li Qingluo suddenly smiled: "Do you really want to know? Then this lady has said... Actually..."
The seventh princess suddenly covered her ears with her hands.
"Alright, alright! I won't listen!"
There was panic in her eyes, which made Li Qingluo shake his head and laugh.
Seventh Princess: ...
Was she just teasing herself?
Seventh Princess: "Nangong Qingluo! You are so brave!"
Li Qingluo: "What's wrong with your wife?"
"I want to say it, but you, Princess, don't listen."
The seventh princess could only stamp her feet in anger.
But just now, she was really scared to death.
Now, it is already very difficult for these princes and princesses to survive in this palace.
The less you know, the safer you will live.
The Seventh Princess was too lazy to argue with her about this matter anymore.
But her face still looked very ugly.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly told his real purpose.
"I don't want to marry into the Western Regions."
"Do you have any way to help me get rid of this matter?"
Li Qingluo: "Are you sure, Your Highness the Seventh Princess, that you are going to be married off to the Western Regions?"
The seventh princess, Zong Zheng Xingyao, nodded with a pale face.
"Ever since my third sister's tragic death in Daliang, my father has been planning to marry another princess to the Western Regions."
"Over the years, Father has long lost his ambition."
"I heard that there's been constant friction between the Western Regions and Daliang, and that Prince Su, known as the Yama God of Death, died on the battlefield. Father is very worried that the Western Regions will turn around and attack Da Chu again, so he took the initiative to write to the Western Regions, saying that he would send another princess to marry."
Zong Zheng Xingyao said with a sad face, "Among the princesses now, I am the only one of the most suitable age, so I have been concerned about this matter."
"The palace has heard rumors these past few days that my father personally circled my name in the name list."
Zong Zheng Xingyao covered his face with his hands, looking dejected.
"What kind of father is he?"
Li Qingluo raised his finger and made a "hush" sound.
"Your Highness, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
Zong Zheng Xingyao sneered, "What are you afraid of? If I'm really married off to the Western Regions, what's the difference between that and death?"
"My father is a cruel yet cowardly king, and everyone in the world knows it."
"Back in the day, when my aunt was still around, I heard he was also very brave and skilled in battle. Although our Great Chu may not be a strong military or prosperous people, we are not afraid of threats and provocations from foreign nations."
"But ever since my aunt's death, my father has become more and more absurd day by day. Now, who among the people in the world is not complaining?"
"The people of Great Chu cannot hold their heads up in front of Daliang and the Western Regions."
Zong Zhenglang ignored state affairs.
They also don't want to provoke border wars, so in the face of increasingly aggressive provocations from the Western Regions, they have been giving in step by step in recent years.
The Western Regions have already swallowed up three cities of the Great Chu in recent years.
Zong Zheng Langri didn't care and just indulged in his own drunken life.
Not only that, he killed people like crazy and was bloodthirsty and cruel. It was unknown how many more years the Great Chu Dynasty of Zong Zheng could last.
"never mind."
"What ideas do you have?"
"Now that your husband hasn't returned yet, you have to think of ways to save your own life."
"What else can you do to protect me?"
Li Qingluo: "Your Highness, you said just two days ago that as long as you are in this palace, no one will come to harm me."
Seventh Princess: "Do you believe this?"
Li Qingluo: ...
I almost believed it.
Zong Zheng Xingyao was very disappointed: "My third sister died in Daliang, and my sixth brother's legs were completely lost in Daliang, leaving him disabled."
"Father was so afraid that he didn't even dare to condemn Daliang."
"How can I dare to expect him to support me in the future?"
"Marrying to the Western Regions is a dead end."
The Seventh Princess walked away with heavy steps, looking as pale as death.
Li Qingluo was also helpless.
Zong Zheng Xingyao was right. She had to find ways to save her own life first.
Duan Rongshi had not returned yet, and the cowardly yet cruel Emperor of Chu was probably going to take action against him.
Sure enough, Li Qingluo had just fallen asleep that night when the imperial edict arrived at Qianyuan Palace.
"Madam General, His Majesty would like you to come over. Please."
