Chapter 677: Chapter 332 Letting Go_3

Pearl Kid said, "You’re not destined to be the empress, marrying Zhu Sujin will only lead to two outcomes."

"What outcomes?" asked Qian Yixiu as she turned over to look at Pearl Kid. Although it was pitch black in the tent and she couldn’t see her hand in front of her face, Pearl Kid’s body emitted a faint light, so she could still make him out vaguely.

Pearl Kid said, "The two outcomes are, one, Zhu Sujin does not become the emperor and you both die young. The other is that he becomes the emperor only after you die."

Qian Yixiu was so angry she could die, and she flicked his forehead twice, saying angrily, "You can even read fortunes now. Since that’s the case, why don’t you see who I can marry and how many children I’ll have in the future?"

Pearl Kid rubbed his sore forehead, his anger puffing up as he said, "I can’t tell fortunes, I just know that you don’t have enough blessings left. A person without enough blessings can’t become the empress." After saying that, he huffed and turned away, showing her the back of his head.

Perhaps he was right.

Qian Yixiu closed her eyes and slept until dawn. Blue Bead knocked on the door from outside, waking her up.

Because Pearl Kid and the little squirrel wanted to come out to play and sleep, she hadn’t let the maids keep watch in the bedroom after returning home and even bolted the door. Though Sister Zeng and the other maids were all bewildered, they could only follow her orders.

At noon, Zhu Sujin sent a letter to Qian Yixiu through Xiao Zhengzi. The letter read, "Sister, I’m sorry, I’ve let go. Take care! Your brother, Sujin."

It was simple and to the point, without any nonsense.

His determination and oaths from yesterday seemed to still linger in her ears, yet today they were cleanly severed.

From now on, they were just siblings, no, more precisely, sovereign and subject. In this way, it was also... good.

Although this was the result Qian Yixiu had always wanted, the moment it happened, she felt relieved but also somewhat wistful.

In the evening, Father Jiang finally returned from the palace.

Father Jiang was very busy nowadays, and during the half month she had been back, he had only come home for one night. Seeing his extreme exhaustion, she didn’t bother him much. After speaking a few important words, she let him rest. The next day, he hurried off again.

If you follow the right person, no amount of busyness will dampen your spirits. After some time, when rewards for achievements are discussed, Father Jiang might also rise in rank and wealth. Especially since she had made a great contribution by retrieving the Dragon Ball, if it wasn’t appropriate to reward her openly, they would surely reward him in her stead.

Qian Manjiang went straight to Xiangxue Courtyard, his face somewhat grave as he dismissed the servants.

Qian Yixiu poured him a cup of hot tea and asked, "Father, is something the matter?"

Qian Manjiang sat down, took a sip of the hot tea, and motioned for Qian Yixiu to sit beside him, saying, "It’s like this, the emperor summoned me today to say a few words. He meant that His Highness is his only son, who not only carries a heavy responsibility for the empire but must also take numerous wives and concubines to spread his line as soon as possible. As soon as the edict to confer him as Crown Prince is issued, he will be given a marriage, along with a Crown Princess Consort, Consort of the Crown Prince, and Excellent Beauties of the Crown Prince."

After speaking, he carefully observed his daughter’s expression. Seeing that although she was slightly stunned, there was no sign of disappointment or pain, he felt relieved. He knew his daughter’s character; although she appeared gentle on the outside, she was very decisive and wouldn’t fancy sharing a husband with others. In this way, it also proved that she had no improper thoughts about His Highness.

He initially didn’t want his daughter to enter the palace. After understanding her character, he felt even more that she wasn’t suited to be a woman of the Royal Family. Although he served the previous Prince Ning and now the emperor, he also knew the emperor’s temper and nature well. The emperor’s methods were direct and ruthless.

He was very satisfied with his daughter, and his demeanour relaxed as he continued, "The emperor also revealed that he might arrange a marriage for you in the future."

Qian Yixiu jumped in shock, saying urgently, "He better not casually matchmake and make me marry just any man."

Qian Manjiang disagreed, saying, "Daughter, you’ve been in the capital for so long, how do you still not understand that ’when the sovereign orders a subject to die, the subject has to die’? When the emperor arranges a marriage, no matter which family he chooses, we can only accept it." Seeing that his daughter was close to tears, he added, "Rest assured, the emperor also said he remembers your contribution in retrieving the Dragon Ball and our family’s act of taking His Highness in. He probably won’t match you carelessly."

Qian Yixiu was still somewhat uneasy, saying, "But what he considers good, we may not necessarily agree with." Then she pouted and complained, "Father, you should have said I was already betrothed."

"Betrothed to whom? The Liang Family? Everyone knows we’ve called off that engagement," said Qian Manjiang.

Amidst her trepidation, Qian Yixiu also awaited the grand inauguration ceremony of the New Emperor, Emperor Qianwu.
