Sufang Palace.
"Eldest Princess, Princess Ning is leaving the palace." A palace maid came to Zhao Rao's side and whispered. Princess Ning was going to marry to Jin Kingdom today. Does Eldest Princess not want to send her off?
Zhao Rao was still immersed in the memories of the Cheng family half a month ago.
She didn't expect Cheng Zheng to change so much, and even more so, she didn't expect him to be so cold and indifferent. She was still his niece, but he didn't seem to care about her at all. He didn't even care about the Cheng family. He simply didn't recognize his own family and was cold-blooded and heartless.
What made her most angry was that he actually threw her out of the practice room and warned her not to look for him again.
What did Cheng Zheng mean? He said that the person he was loyal to was the emperor. Would he really marry Zhao Lan if father asked him to?
Zhao Rao's heart felt like it was being bitten by a million ants. She knew that her Imperial Father had invited Valley Master Duanmu to the palace, and if she wasn't wrong, it should be to treat her Imperial Father's illness. She didn't know what was wrong with her Imperial Father's body, but for the past two days, he had been calling the First Prince and Second Prince to his side. This proved that he was already considering his sons.
She could not let the Second Prince become the Crown Prince, absolutely not!
Originally, she wanted to win over Cheng Zheng, but after seeing him, she felt that the possibility was almost zero.
Thinking of Cheng Zheng, Zhao Rao felt annoyed.
"Eldest Princess …" The palace maid next to her saw that she was still in a daze and could not help but call out again.
Zhao Rao frowned, "What's the matter?"
"Princess Ning is going out of the palace." The palace maid hurriedly said.
"So fast!" Zhao Rao looked at the sky outside in surprise. She did not know when it was dawn. "I will send A Ning off."
Zhao Ning wanted to marry. Today was the day to go to Jin Kingdom. In addition to Zhao Rao, many people in the palace came to see her off.
Lu Wushuang's spirit was not very good these days, but because Zhao Yong asked her to take care of Zhao Ning's marriage, she had to work hard for a few days. Today, she could finally marry Zhao Ning off.
She had been looking for Lu Lingzhi for a long time. Ever since she saw him that day, he seemed to have evaporated. According to her mother, he had already made arrangements for his funeral and should have left the capital. She was afraid that he would never come back again.
After so many years, she had long been accustomed to relying on her big brother, letting him do everything for her. Now that he had disappeared just like that, her heart was at a loss, as if she had lost her backbone. She did not know what to do next.
Her current status was given by Zhao Yong, but if it wasn't for Lu Lingzhi, how could she be where she was today? Perhaps he was already dead.
How could Big Brother be so heartless to abandon her?
"Imperial Concubine, what's wrong?" Concubine De noticed that Lu Wushuang was in a daze and didn't even hear Princess Ning's words.
Lu Wushuang came back to her senses and looked up to see Liu Qiao'er looking at her with a faint smile. She immediately became alert. Whether Lu Lingzhi was in the capital or not, this was not the time for her to be sad and vulnerable. If she wanted to survive in the palace, she must cheer up and deal with the bitch Liu Qiao'er.
"I feel happy to see Princess Ning. I'm a little crazy." Lu Wushuang said with a smile. Her eyes swept across the people in the hall and was surprised to find that the First Princess was not there. While she was wondering, the First Princess's voice came from outside.
Zhao Rao walked in with a smile. "I'm late."
"Why did the First Princess come so late?" Lu Wushuang asked with a smile.
"I was delayed by something." Zhao Rao's bright face had a slight smile. "I'm going to see Ning."
Zhao Ning had already dressed up. She was wearing a princess's costume. She sat upright on the bed, her eyes looking ahead calmly. Finally, she was going to leave the Kingdom of Qi. She was not sure what her fate would be in the Jin Kingdom. She didn't know if she was doing the right thing, but she was still looking forward to leaving the Imperial Palace of the Qi Kingdom.
"Ning, are you nervous?" A soft voice beside her asked.
"A little." Zhao Ning timidly glanced at the young girl beside her. This was Zhao Lan. Before this, she had heard that Princess Lan was frail and frail, and was always plagued with various illnesses. Originally, she had thought that it was just an excuse. But when she saw Zhao Lan a few days ago, she realized that her complexion wasn't too good. However, even though her complexion wasn't too good, it couldn't hide the lovable aura that Zhao Lan exuded.
Zhao Ning liked Zhao Lan very much. She always had the urge to protect her.
Zhao Lan gently held Zhao Ning's hand. "Don't be nervous. You are the Princess of the Qi Kingdom. Even if you marry into the Jin Kingdom, no one will mistreat you. If there's anything, just send someone to pass the message to father. Father will help you."
"Yes, I know." Zhao Ning smiled and nodded. Yesterday, father had told her that he would arrange some confidants for her. In the future, no matter what she encountered in the Jin Kingdom, she could let them handle it.
She had not seen those people yet. She heard that one of them was the Chief Steward, who was highly valued by father.
Thinking of Zhao Yong's arrangements for her, Zhao Ning felt a little guilty. If he knew that she had colluded with Mo Rongzhan to plot against the marriage, he would definitely be very angry.
Zhao Ning lowered her head and pursed her lips into a thin line.
"Ning." Zhao Rao walked in. Seeing that Zhao Lan was also here, her eyes turned cold. "Lan 'er is here too."
"Big sister." Zhao Lan saw Zhao Rong and her expression turned cold. She took a few steps back and did not speak.
Zhao Rao sat down beside Zhao Ning. "Today is the day I leave the Qi Kingdom. I really can't bear to part with you. I've only been back for a few days and I'm already leaving. I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again."
Hearing the sincerity in Zhao Rao's voice, Zhao Ning was touched. "Big sister, if there's a chance in the future, we will meet again."
"When you reach the Jin Kingdom, you will be an Imperial Concubine. Being an Imperial Concubine is different from being a Princess. You have to be very vigilant. Even if you had a relationship with someone in the Jin Kingdom, you have to think about it carefully when you go back. Don't blindly trust others." Zhao Rao really liked Zhao Ning and was really reluctant to let her marry to the Jin Kingdom.
Zhao Ning held Zhao Rao's hand. "Big sister, you have taught me a lot these few days. I will remember it all."
"You can't completely trust the people around you. Even the palace maids around you. Don't think that just because you have a sincere heart, others will be loyal to you. You have to learn how to use your dignity to suppress the servants around you. This is to prevent them from betraying you." When Zhao Rao said this, her eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.
Zhao Lan, who was at the side, heard this and her eyes turned red. She looked at Zhao Rao pitifully.
Zhao Ning did not know about the feud between the sisters, but she had heard that Concubine De was the palace maid of the late Empress. As for why the Eldest Princess had such a deep grudge against Concubine De, it was not something she could find out.
