69. Anything You Want

 

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

 

The crowd finally calmed down as they’d noticed that Helian Chacha had stood up. They wondered what kind of trick she could perform for them.

After giving a bow to the audience in the manner of ancient people, Helian Chacha spoke up in a loud voice,

“Thank you so much for coming to this place tonight. And this is the end of our show for today! However, in the future, we will hold a different show every two days. You are all very welcome to come again if you’re interested.”

After saying that, the crowd went excited again as if they could bury her with their loudness.

Looking at the second floor, Helian Chacha always felt that someone was staring at her, and it should be someone she knew quite well.

The windows of Red Cherry Land were designed exclusively by the carpenter that people could look out from the inside, yet people outside might not be able to peep inside.

Ye Shengxuan noticed that Helian Chacha was looking at his direction, but the blankness in her eyes almost made him a bit angry.

Looking at the upset faces of the audience down there, Helian Chacha finally put on a satisfied smile.

This was the mode of hunger marketing, which was just a common strategy applied in modern times.

Fleeing the stage from the tunnel prepared earlier, Helian Chacha chose to leave this embarrassing moment to Meiniang.

“Meiniang, are you fooling us around?”

A tough guy asked in his coarse voice when Meiniang was about to leave.

On the second floor, in a private booth.

“I want that young boy who was talking on the stage!”

Looking at the bureau official next to him, Ye Shengxuan stood up and walked out directly.

Even if it was just a second, he could not wait any longer.

Helian Chacha walked into the secret tunnel, but her mouth was covered by someone in the middle of her way.

Her pupils shrank all of a sudden as she wasn’t sure how many times she had been kidnapped.

In just a few seconds, Helian Chacha was brought to the storage room of Red Cherry Land.

Inside the storage room, which was usually stacked with random stuff, four well-dressed men stood there.

An old man with grey beard stood in the front. His eyes were focused on Helian Chacha as if he tried to dig a hole on her face.

“Good day, Princess.”

Following the old man’s greeting, the others bowed quickly as well. Helian Chacha was really shocked by them so she took a step back.

Among the people in front of her, there was a very familiar face of Helian Chacha.

At the end of the group was the chief Guqin player of Red Cherry Land, Manyue.

She was also one of the performers on the stage.

“Well, maybe you have found the wrong person?”

Helian Chacha took a few steps back because she had always been wondering about the identity of this body owner. Looking at the people standing in front of her right now, she even got some expectations on it.

“Princess! I watched you grow up! How would I not be able to recognize you?”

The old man stood up excitedly and he even took a few steps closer to Helian Chacha.

“On Your Highness’ right shoulder, there is a triangular birthmark. Different from ordinary red birthmarks, the one on your shoulder is purple.”

The old man looked at Helian Chacha firmly.

Holding herself immediately, Helian Chacha tried to hide in the corner once again.

“Then you tell me, what kind of princess am I?”

Although she appeared to be shocked, she was overjoyed actually. If this body owner was a princess for real, then it meant she could enjoy an affluent life in the future, and she would no longer worry about being bullied by other people.

“I am the imperial prosecutor of Xuanyuan Kingdom, Your Highness!”

The old man still looked very excited because his hands were shaking slightly.

It was almost ten years. During the ten years, the emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom told him to find the lost princess. Now, he had finally found her.

Since the old man kneeled down, the others behind him all followed suit instantly.

After getting to know their identities, Helian Chacha was so confused. Xuanyuan Kingdom?

How come she had never heard of this name? It was Ye Shengxuan’s father who conquered this kingdom before.

Was she a princess of a subjugated kingdom? Did it mean that she had to bear the duty of thriving the people?

Helian Chacha shook her head quickly. If that was the case, then the ice-face man was her enemy who killed her father, and she married that ice-face man.

With a strong sadness coming in her mind, Helian Chacha shook her head harder.

“I am begging you, Your Highness. Please go back to our kingdom with me!”

Although he didn’t understand the happy yet shocked expressions on Helian Chacha’s face, the old man asked again.

“What? So, you mean Kingdom Xuanyuan still exists? Wasn’t it dead? Am I not a princess of a subjugated kingdom or what?”

Helian Chacha gave him more questions.

Behind the old man, the others all looked quite angry. How could a princess call her kingdom a subjugated one?

Hearing that, the old man became even sadder. He thought Helian Chacha was brainwashed after she had come to Ling Kingdom, so he felt so guilty because he failed to protect his master.

“There is no need to worry about that, Your Highness. Xuanyuan Kingdom is not subjugated. Our kingdom right now can give you powerful protection. As long as you come back to Xuanyuan with me, His Majesty will allow you to do anything you want in the future, Your Highness!”

The old man’s eyes were really firm, so the others behind him didn’t dare to say much despite their anger.

“Really? I can do anything I want?”

Helian Chacha’s eyes brightened. In the ancient time, it could be the most wonderful thing to find yourself a powerful back to count on.

“Yes. For the love of His Majesty to you, you can do anything!”

“Hahaha!”

As soon as the old man finished, Helian Chacha began to laugh out loud. Her eyes were squinted like a smiley Buddha.

The others looked all quite embarrassed as they had never seen a princess behave like that.

The old man looked at the storage room again. If they went back to Xuanyuan Kingdom, even if the emperor failed to provide Helian Chacha enough, he would try to win the best for her.

After all, Helian Chacha’s grandpa was his only friend in the world when he was still alive.

Now, Helian Chacha was the only one left in the entire family, so he would definitely try his best to help her.

“Your Highness, we shouldn’t stay here for too long. I hope you can come back to the capital city with me as soon as possible.”

Looking at Helian Chacha who was in a silly smile, the old man had to remind her once again.

They were currently standing on the territory of Ye Shengxuan, after all. And Ye Shengxuan was an emperor they could easily deal with, so they better not to start a direct conflict with him.

Suddenly, there came a sound of the clock opening from the door. All of them were shocked.

The old man pulled Helian Chacha behind his back to protect her. It was just a subtle action, but it made Helian Chacha felt so warm.

Ever since she had come to this ancient time, it was the first time that someone protected her when they met for the first time, and that was so touching to her.

The door was pushed open, and Ye Shengxuan showed up in front of them, wearing a light blue gown.

Behind him were 7 or 8 men in black.

The old man stood in front of Helian Chacha once again to block the eye contacts of the two of them.

The storage room of Red Cherry Land was quite small, and now it got even more crowded with Helian Chacha and the other’s presence plus the stuff that was already there.

If Ye Shengxuan and his men stepped in, there would be no empty space left in it.

“Long time no see, Minister Feng.”

Ye Shengxuan stared at the old man standing in the back of the room. He had already heard everything in the conversation they just had inside with his internal power.
