72. Princess, You Can’t Do That

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

There were only four people in the room, Ye Shengxuan, Shiao Qi, the local governor, and Meiniang.

Both were looking at the man in front of them nervously as they were afraid their life could easily end here by any chance.

“Where is Concubine Xian?”

Looking Meiniang in front of him right in the eyes, Ye Shengxuan was pressuring her with his power as an emperor.

According to the information from Tianji Sect, Red Cherry Land was a place for Chu Jianmo to stay and collect information. Even if he had not kidnapped Helian Chacha, he would never let such a place continue to exist. But right now, he still needed this place for some reason.

The local governor took a few steps back out of fear. It turned out that Ye Shengxuan came here exactly for Concubine Xian, and this was definitely not a trouble he would like to get involved with.

“Concubine Xian? What Concubine?”

Meiniang was so confused, so she looked at Ye Shengxuan and asked.

“We are talking about the girl that Prince of Qi Kingdom sent here a few days ago.”

Shiao Qi explained it to her. Although Red Cherry Land was a place for Chu Jianmo to stay, it was still marginalized in Chu Jianmo’s plan, so she didn’t really know that much about Chu Jianmo and his business.

“Impossible!”

Meiniang shouted out directly as she didn’t believe that Chu Jianmo would bring such a bomb to Red Cherry Land.

“Oh, impossible? Are you saying you are impossible to be the spy of Qi Kingdom or you are impossible to kidnap Concubine Xian?”

Ye Shengxuan stood up from his seat. Meiniang’s tacky makeup made him sick as if he could puke at any second.

“I…”

Her face turned even paler as she just sold herself out to them at that moment.

“Tell Chu Jianmo that Yuan’er is already back to Xuanyuan. And I will wait for him!”

After saying that, Ye Shengxuan left directly. Shiao Qi gave the local governor a glare, and the governor scrambled out right away.

What Ye Shengxuan had just said contained too much information and it was a bit hard for him to understand.

Pressing, choking, and poisoning in a row, Meiniang was shocked as she didn’t realize what had happened to herself except for taking something like a pill.

“You have 10 days. In 10 days, you have to make it done. Otherwise,  you,  Chen and your bastard son…”

Shiao Qi’s face turned really cold. Chen was the neighbor of Meiniang, and he was cheating on his wife with Meiniang.

After Meiniang had their baby, he even sent the baby to a  relative living in a remote place to raise.

And all of that was because Meiniang was a spy working for Chu Jianmo. However, Tianji Sect had found out their well-planned secret.

After saying that, Shiao Qi walked out as well. Even if Meiniang didn’t tell him, they knew how to inform Chu Jianmo about it.

Helian Chacha and the others had already found a small town to have a rest before evening.

After hearing the stories all along the way, Helian Chacha now knew exactly who this body owner used to be.

Her name was Xuanyuan Linglong and she was the eldest daughter of the late empress of Xuanyuan Kingdom, also the most favored princess of the emperor of Xuanyuan.

The late empress used to be the only woman in the harem of the emperor of Xuanyuan, so their relationship had been praised and admired by their people.

However, the late empress was falsely accused of having an affair with the commander of the Imperial Guardians back then, and the emperor of Xuanyuan somehow chose to believe it.

With huge fury, he deposed the empress directly and also ordered to kill Xuanyuan Linglong.

Qiaoyan, the palace maid serving the former empress managed to escape from the palace with Xuanyuan Linglong right at that night, when she was not even 2 years old.

After arriving at Ling Kingdom, Qiaoyan married Feng Huang with Linglong by her side, and Linglong was renamed as Feng Siluan.

Right at that night when Xuanyuan Linglong left, the late Empress hanged herself. The emperor of Xuanyuan finally woke up from his stupidity, but he lost all information about Xuanyuan Linglong.

Therefore, he sent out Feng Tian, his imperial prosecutor to search for Xuanyuan Linglong.

For 10 years, Feng Tian had searched all countries, and he also spent almost 2 years searching in Ling Kingdom.

When Chu Jianmo sent Helian Chacha into the Red Cherry Land, Meiniang made Manyue change clothes for her, and she saw the birthmark on Helian Chacha’s back so that she was certain about her identity.

Helian Chacha was a bit down as she finally found the answer she was looking for by piecing what Feng Tian and Chu Jianmo had told her together.

If what they said was true, then did it mean that the mother of this body owner died because of her?

And the emperor of Xuanyuan might possibly not favor her that much as Feng Tian had described.

Helian Chacha even had a feeling that the late empress must have died of a plot.

Feeling a wave of anger surging in her heart, Helian Chacha decided to investigate it thoroughly when she went back to Xuanyuan Kingdom. If she was framed by someone, she would definitely take the revenge for her just to console this body she was living in.

“Princess?”

“Princess?”

Feng Tian just said something to her, but he noticed that Helian Chacha looked quite confused.

“Princess, your room has just been prepared. From now on, Manyue will be your palace maid, okay?”

Feng Tian looked at Helian Chacha nervously. He felt even more hurt when seeing that Helian Chacha’s emotionless face.

“Okay! Thank you, minister!”

Helian Chacha wasn’t in the mood of greeting them, so she walked directly to the room Feng Tian had just showed her.

Lying on the bed, she felt super helpless at the moment.

She thought she was the lucky one and she could get a seat in this place ever since she had transmigrated to this ancient time.

However, it turned out that maybe she was wrong. Those bullies she met and that two-faced Chu Jianmo all made her feel extremely cold in this ancient time.

Suddenly, Helian Chacha thought of that ice-cold face. He should be the only one who protected her all the time in this ancient time.

Thinking of him telling her to wait for him, Helian Chacha blushed right away.

She decided to go to Xuanyuan first, and if the emperor there really treated her well, she would stay in Xuanyuan. If not, she would go with that ice-cold face.

“Princess, are you in there?”

It was Manyue’s gentle voice at the door. Helian Chacha rolled over and opened the door herself.

As soon as the door was opened, Helian Chacha was impressed by the chestnut chicken dish on the tray.

It was in the early autumn, and since there was no refrigerator in the ancient time, Helian Chacha was so surprised to see this dish in the early autumn.

“I just noticed that you don’t seem to have an appetite, so I guess you must have been feeling tired after traveling all along the way. But you still need to eat something.”

In Manyue’s eyes, Helian Chacha was that kind of girl you would never be able to read her mind. All of those magical ideas in Red Cherry Land were like in a different dimension to them.

“Hahah! It is my favorite!”

Taking the tray from Manyue directly, Helian Chacha couldn’t wait to walk to the table nearby.

She started to grab the chicken leg and biting with her legs crossed.

“Princess!”

Manyue was indeed shocked by the scene as Helian Chacha was really not behaving like a princess right now.

“Princess, you… you can’t do that!”

Manyue blushed, and she was almost crying while waving at Helian Chacha to make her stop.

In a short moment, there was only the bone of that giant chicken leg in the hand of Helian Chacha.

“What’s wrong?”

Helian Chacha was a bit confused. Was this chicken leg not for her? Or this chicken leg was poisonous?
