Chapter 471 Tearing Up the Alliance
Hearing the princess's words, Lu Hanting's face turned as cold as ice.
Is this a mother and daughter kissing?
Or is it that the princess is deliberately trying to please Wei'er in order to gain her forgiveness?
Seeing the princess's agreement, Wu Weiwei sneered inwardly.
"Your Highness, the child in my womb has nothing to do with you."
If you really want to help me, then get rid of this eyesore in front of me!
Upon hearing Wu Weiwei's words, the eldest princess looked at Lu Hanting.
“Envoy Lu, you heard what Wei’er said too.”
She probably doesn't want you to be the father of my nephew, so..."
"Princess, are you going to break our alliance?"
Lu Hanting's face was ashen.
It was just a bastard child, yet it managed to change the princess's mind.
What is it about Qingzhu, that servant, that makes Wei'er so infatuated with him that she gave up on herself?
“Envoy Lu, you know that Wei’er was kidnapped by thieves when she was a child and left my side. She has been gone for sixteen years.”
It was so hard to find her.
I feel guilty towards her, so I hope you can understand.
Between you and Vera, I will naturally choose my own bloodline!
Hearing the princess's words, Lu Hanting's hands were bulging with veins, but he tried his best to control himself.
Just when everyone thought he wouldn't back down, he said coldly, "You can leave now!"
The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief.
She was prepared to break ties with Lu Hanting, but she never expected him to compromise.
Although she claims to have an army of 300,000, that's just what she says to the outside world.
In reality, she only has about 200,000 soldiers at her disposal.
The battle five years ago severely weakened her army, leaving mostly the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled.
Coupled with the emperor's suppression of her over the years, Le'an County's strength has been greatly diminished.
But Lu Hanting was different.
He had 300,000 soldiers under his command, all of whom were elite troops.
In addition, they have won a battle and their morale is high.
She didn't want to confront him directly unless absolutely necessary.
But if Vera insists on being his enemy, she has no choice but to support her!
"My lord, let me help you!"
Upon hearing that the young master was willing to let his mistress leave, Lingfu quickly stepped forward to support Wu Weiwei.
Even Wu Weiwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She had thought the princess would help Lu Hanting, but if that were the case, she would definitely suffer a loss today.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess still knows how to distinguish between near and far.
Watching the group walk out of the main hall.
Ru Feng asked doubtfully, "Young Master, are you really going to let Concubine Wu go?"
Lu Hanting glanced at him.
"If we don't let her go, do you think we can deal with her and the princess with our meager supplies?"
"This……"
Can't seem to.
"Why are you still talking so much nonsense!"
"It was my fault, I had a foul mouth..."
As Ru Feng fought and retreated, he cursed himself inwardly for his foul mouth, asking why he had provoked the prince for no reason!
Imperial City.
Seeing Wu Weiwei's pale face, the princess felt a pang of heartache.
"Wei'er, why don't you come back to Le'an County with me?"
Just by looking at the maidservant beside her, you can tell she doesn't know how to take care of people. Look at her, she's pregnant but still so thin.
How could she feel at ease letting Wei'er return to Qingwu Kingdom?
"No, I'm fine. The people of Qingwu Kingdom need me to go back!"
Although the princess had just helped her, and Wu Weiwei was grateful for her help, it was impossible for her to use this to morally blackmail her.
“Princess, the Eldest Princess just wants to see you more often.”
Besides, you are pregnant now, yet you have become so thin; it breaks my heart to see you like this. Why don't you come back to Le'an County with us for a few days?"
After sixteen years of separation, Granny Shi naturally understood the longing in the Princess's heart.
"Granny Shi, thank you for your kindness, but it's really not necessary."
I have just assumed the throne of Qingwu Kingdom and have many affairs to attend to; I simply cannot leave!
Despite Granny Shi's earnest advice, Wu Weiwei remained unmoved.
She always maintained a distance from the eldest princess.
It wasn't because of her social status, but because she never felt that blood connection with the eldest princess.
Perhaps it's because she took over the original owner's body!
"Alright, Granny Shi, since she's unwilling, then forget it!"
The eldest princess had seen through it all; although she had helped Wei'er this time, she still couldn't get into her heart.
If that's the case, then let her be!
"The eldest princess..."
Granny Shi wanted to persuade her again, but the princess had already strode away.
"Princess, please don't take offense. The Eldest Princess was just trying too hard to make amends to you, so..."
“Granny Shi, you don’t need to explain, I understand.”
"It's good that the princess understands. Then, this old servant will take his leave now!"
"Ah."
Watching the princess's figure disappear into the distance, Lingfu murmured, "It's truly difficult for someone as proud as the princess to humble herself and mend relations with the monarch today..."
Listening to Lingfu's words, Wanqiu suddenly felt a bit emotional as well.
She looked at Wu Weiwei: "Your Majesty, do you really intend not to forgive the Princess?"
"It's not that I don't forgive, it's just that I'm not ready yet."
Wu Weiwei was not a heartless person; she was naturally touched by what the Princess had done for her today.
However, let's just let things take their natural course!
At the moment Wu Weiwei returned to Qingwu Kingdom, the old men from the Luo family who were imprisoned in the Nifeng Palace escaped their guards with the help of Kuli and secretly headed to Hanyingjian.
"Wow, it's really cold here."
"Kuli, is the young master's ice coffin really hidden here?"
Kuli looked at Luo Qinghe, "Elder Luo, Kuli would never dare to lie to you, we'll be there soon!"
Although Wu Weiwei restricted the freedom of several elders, she clearly did not restrict him.
I don't know whether to call Wu Weiwei stupid or if she felt she would never betray her.
As a servant by the young master's side, Kuli was naturally well-liked in Qingwu Kingdom and had many loyal followers.
Rescuing a few people was no challenge for him.
"arrive!"
After walking for a while, the group soon arrived at the place where the green bamboo was placed.
Upon seeing their young master lying in the ice coffin, the group burst into tears.
"Young Master, you..."
"I never imagined that the young master, whom the old master was so proud of, would be like this now!"
Luo Qinghe stepped forward and stroked the face of the green bamboo on the ice coffin.
In the extremely low temperature, Qingzhu's eyebrows and eyes were completely pale, as if he would soon disappear from the world.
"Hurry up and move! If we're any later, that vixen Wu Weiwei might be back!"
The silver-haired old man reminded everyone.
Kuli had finally managed to persuade the guards to let them go. If he didn't take the young master away now, he might not be able to leave when Wu Weiwei and her generals returned.
"Alright, let's get started!"
At Luo Qinghe's command, the group quickly began moving the ice coffin.
As Wu Weiwei's ship was about to arrive in Qingwu Kingdom, a large ship carrying the Qingzhu Ice Coffin passed by them in a row.
As she watched the ship, laden with goods, slowly sail out of Qingwu Kingdom, Wu Weiwei felt a growing unease.
