When I appeared in front of Jang Shin with Zihe, there was a colder look in his eyes than usual, and even his address seemed more distant:
"Princess Wang, what is the meaning of this?"
"Well, it's been a year, and your cold temperament hasn't shown any signs of softening. This palace is tired of it, so I'll set you free."
He seemed to pause for a moment, then said, "Because of him?"
I turned to look at Zihe, who has always been gentle and polite, seen by everyone as a mild-mannered gentleman, in stark contrast to Jang Shin:
"Consider it done. Why are you reluctant to leave the palace?"
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, as if wanting to say something, but his gaze fell on Zihe who was holding onto my sleeve, and he choked up.
Finally, he bowed to me, his voice as cold and desolate as ever.
"Well, thank you, Your Highness."
Half a year after I met Zihe, Emperor Zhou Tianzi, who is my father, decided to send a group of obedient hostage back to their country. This group includes Young Master Shen from Qi Dynasty, and the noble Zihe from the Song Dynasty.
When Zihe left, I went to see him off.
We bid farewell in front of the carriage of the Song Dynasty, not far from the carriage of Qi Dynasty. I only glanced at it before being called back by Zihe:
"Your Highness, don't forget about me."
He has always been gentle and polite in front of others, but at this moment, he somewhat rudely grabbed my wrist. I looked at him in surprise, feeling strange, but I didn't pull away.
"Of course not, young master, just don't forget our agreement."
Zihe paused, took a step forward, and whispered in my ear:
"Your Highness, please wait a little longer. I will come back."
I don't quite understand why he insisted on speaking so close, but when I remembered our agreement... I couldn't help but smile.
Naturally, I didn't notice Zihe crossing over my shoulder, locking eyes with Jang Shin.
Zihe and others returned to the country, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed. Father's health has worsened, and my two royal brothers are getting older, and their power struggle is becoming more intense.
I was writing a letter to Zihe in the Qishan Hall when Yun Gu hurriedly ran in.
"Your Highness, the king of Qi Dynasty is plotting a rebellion and is almost at Luoyang city."
I paused for a moment and then wrote:
"What?"
"Currently the king of Qi Dynasty, isn't that...?"
"It is indeed the former Young Master Shen."
Jang Shin, is he... planning to rebel?
"Has the king father been informed?"
"The Grand Marshal has entered the palace, so he must have known by now."
"Your Highness, I don't understand. Qi Dynasty is a thousand miles away from Luoyang city, with many vassal states in between. How could there have been no advance warning at all?"
I sneered, "The feudal lords, hmph, they are just itching for a leader to emerge. I just don't understand why Jang Shin is so foolish. How could he be so eager to take the lead in this Centennial curse?"
The king's health was already deteriorating, and upon hearing the news of the rebellion, he fainted, and his condition is getting worse.
Jang Shin arrived too quickly, and it's less than a day's journey to Luoyang city. The royal army is preparing hastily, and the outcome of this battle is uncertain. My two royal brothers are arguing fiercely at the sickbed, but none of it is of any use.
I finished feeding the last spoonful of medicine to the king, interrupting their argument:
"Please have Gongsun and Deputy Marshal lead a team to escort the two princes out of Luoyang city."
"Leaving? Father, now... cough, lying on the sickbed, as his children, it's only natural for us to serve him..."
I paid no attention to their insincere words and sincerely said:
"The Qi army arrived hastily, and to rashly engage in battle would surely not be advisable..."
