Xiao Qingyue also got up shortly after Feng Zhaoyun left. He sat on Feng Zhaoyun's bed, looked at the furnishings in the room, reached out and touched the pillow Feng Zhaoyun was leaning on, greedy for her breath and warmth.

At this time, Zhu Qing gently pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that his master had woken up, he hurried over and said, "Master, are you awake? I will go out and arrange for you to wash up."

Xiao Qingyue nodded, and after a while, the maids came in carrying toiletries. The maids and servants in the palace were very respectful to him.

He had just finished washing up when breakfast was brought up, as if he was the master of the palace. Xiao Qingyue was slightly stunned.

After the maids finished serving the meal, Zhu Qing saw his young master's confusion and stepped forward, "Young Master, His Highness instructed them before he left that they must serve you attentively according to His Highness' wishes."

Xiao Qingyue felt warm in her heart after hearing this. She looked at the porridge on the table but did not pick up her chopsticks. "Let's go. Mother must be worried."

After saying this, he took Zhuqing out of the palace. The housekeeper was very respectful and saw them off all the way.

.......

Feng Zhaoyun led his personal guards out of the imperial city and headed south. As soon as they left, the news spread to all the factions.

The Third Princess Feng Yaoxue was having breakfast with her father in Danhe Palace at this time. The Third Princess' personal guard entered and presented the intelligence.

Feng Yaoxue slowly opened it, took a look, and then chuckled, "You really are leading the troops to war just for Feng Yunjin. Father, you are truly amazing."

The Emperor was eating his porridge when he looked up at Feng Yaoxue. "Is what I asked you to prepare ready?"

Feng Yaoxue nodded excitedly, "I've already made preparations. This time, she will never come back!"

The Emperor nodded, "Yes! This father and daughter are both more difficult to deal with than the other. This time, don't let me down again!"

Feng Yaoxue stood up and saluted after hearing this. "Don't worry, father. In a few days, I will use illness as an excuse to stay at home and secretly set off for the south. I will personally make all the arrangements. This time, there will be no mistakes."

After hearing this, the Emperor's husband was relieved and held Feng Yaoxue's hand. "Sit down. Feng Yunjin is very difficult to deal with. Once we find him, we can kill him on the spot. There are plenty of men. Remember! Don't learn from Feng Zhaoyun. She has inherited her father's ways. If it was the Feng Zhaoyun who was not interested in men before, we wouldn't have to use this method."

Feng Yaoxue nodded, "Yes, Father, I will remember this. Nangong Liuying deserves to die. I haven't been able to marry into any of the three major forces. It's such a pity that Xiao Qingyue was given to that useless Nangong Liuying."

The Emperor smiled kindly, "Now that you've returned, I'll ask for your permission to marry the Prime Minister's legitimate son. Xiao Qingyue has gone to the Moon Kingdom and is no longer useful. With Feng Yunjin dead, there's no need for us to try to establish a marriage relationship."

Feng Yaoxue nodded, "As long as my father arranges, I will obey."

........

Nangong Liuying was now in the palace, and had recovered somewhat, but her shoulder was useless, and she would no longer be able to hold a weapon. Thinking of this, she wished she could immediately cut Feng Zhaoyun into pieces!

Nangong Liuying, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, heard that Feng Zhaoyun had left the imperial city. She then gave a wicked smile and said, "Since His Majesty has sent the imperial decree granting marriage to the General's Mansion, you should go! Let Xiao Qingyue serve this Highness!"

The attendant beside Nangong Liuying knelt on the ground, "Your Highness... We are currently trapped here, and we have no one around us. It is best not to cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Liuying picked up a teacup and threw it at the attendant, "You bastard, you think you're worthy enough to teach me a lesson! You're so bold!"

The attendant beside Nangong Liuying shivered from the scalding tea, but didn't dare to look up, "Your Highness... This subordinate... is also for your own good..."

Nangong Liuying's chest heaved with anger. "Forget it! Hurry up and tell them when someone from the Moon Country will come to pick me up!"

Attendant: "Yes..." and then retreated.

Within a few days, people from the Moon Kingdom arrived.

The people who came were the Minister of Yue Kingdom and others. The Queen did not receive them personally, but sent the matter to the Third Princess Feng Yaoxue.

In the morning court, Nangong Liuying seemed to have lost the attitude of a drowned dog from the past few days because of the visitor from Yue Kingdom, and regained the arrogance and coldness of a princess.

Nangong Liuying stood up and saluted the empress. "Your Majesty, now that my injuries have healed, it's time for me to return home. Since Your Majesty has granted me a marriage with General Xiao's son, Xiao Qingyue, I will take Xiao Qingyue with me."

The Queen glanced at Xiao Yushan. Although Xiao Yushan looked unwilling, he could do nothing about it.

The Queen smiled faintly, "Your Highness Nangong, do you still remember that you said you would like to welcome Xiao Qingyue as your concubine with the etiquette of a principal monarch? Since it is already the etiquette of a principal monarch, then she is just a principal monarch."

Nangong Liuying was stunned. His position as the legitimate emperor was reserved for someone who could assist him in ascending the throne. This Xiao Qingyue...

Seeing her hesitation, the Queen smiled and said, "Perhaps the Moon Kingdom envoy still doesn't know how this marriage came about?"

When Nangong Liuying heard this, she naturally knew what the empress was going to say. If these old guys told her mother about what she had done in Shang Kingdom, she would be severely punished and it would affect her.

So he bowed helplessly and said, "I will correct you, Your Majesty. In three days, I will set off to return home. I hope Your Majesty will approve it."

The Queen nodded and looked at Xiao Yushan. "General Xiao is a meritorious minister of our Shang Kingdom. I am willing to prepare a generous dowry for Young Master Xiao and bring him to the Yue Kingdom."

Xiao Yushan stepped out and saluted, "Thank you... Your Majesty!"

The day before Nangong Liuying returned to the country, the palace sent someone to deliver the dowry promised by the empress. The person who delivered the dowry was Zhou Fuhai, which shows that the empress attached great importance to it.

Zhou Fuhai rarely left the palace, so Xiao Yushan and Xiao Qingyue received him in the main hall.

Zhou Fuhai sent someone to put the dowry into the mansion, and then took out a list and handed it to Xiao Yushan.

Zhou Fuhai stepped forward and respectfully saluted Xiao Yushan, "Your Majesty has sent this old servant to bring some words to the general and the young master."

Xiao Yushan and Xiao Qingyue returned the greeting, and Xiao Yushan said, "Please speak, eunuch."

Zhou Fuhai sighed, "His Majesty said that this move was made out of helplessness. If you go to Yue Country in the future, Shang Country will definitely support you if anything happens."

Xiao Qingyue bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Fuhai helped Xiao Qingyue up, "Mr. Xiao, please do not disturb His Royal Highness the War King. You will be the most honorable princess and master of the Yue Kingdom from now on. You will be extremely rich and powerful. This old servant congratulates you."

Xiao Qingyue smiled sadly, "Thank you, eunuch..."

Zhou Fuhai saw that Xiao Qingyue was unwilling and shook his head. "I have already delivered the gift. I would like to congratulate the general on his wedding. I have to return to the palace to serve His Majesty. I will take my leave now."

Xiao Yushan respectfully saw Zhou Fuhai off and sent him out of the general's mansion.

Returning to the main hall, he looked at the maid, "Where's the Master?"

The maid bowed her head and replied, "The young master has returned to the courtyard."

Xiao Yushan walked towards the yard where Xiao Qingyue was. At this time, Xiao Qingyue was in the yard, staring at a painting in front of her in a trance.

The painting showed Feng Zhaoyun's figure, but still without any facial features.

Xiao Yushan looked at the painting and knew it was His Royal Highness Prince Zhan. He sighed and stepped forward, "Qingyue, you are my only child. You will be the Prince when you leave. You should forget what you should forget in Shang State. Royal daughters are often ruthless. My Lord knows you are ambitious and want to be together forever, but even if you marry the one you love, you can't avoid the harem struggles. There is no such thing as a lifelong couple in this world, let alone in the royal family."

Xiao Qingyue nodded after hearing this, "Don't worry, mother. For mother and His Highness, Qingyue will live well."

Xiao Yushan held Xiao Qingyue's hand. "The secret guards that His Majesty the Prince of War had stationed around the General's Mansion have long been eliminated by His Majesty to prevent her from learning of this. You must not disobey His Majesty's order."

Xiao Qingyue smiled coldly, turned around and held Xiao Yushan's hand, "Mother, I understand. After we say goodbye tomorrow, I don't know if I will see you again in this life. Mother, you are alone in Shangguo, so you must take care of yourself... Don't worry about me."

Xiao Yushan's eyes were filled with tears. "Son, there is nothing you can't overcome. You... must live well, and then your mother will be at ease!"

Xiao Qingyue nodded and hugged Xiao Yushan.

The next day, the general's mansion was decorated with lights and lanterns. Xiao Qingyue took out an exquisite box from her room, carefully put all of Feng Zhaoyun's paintings in it, and walked out of the general's mansion with it.

At this time, Nangong Liuying's motorcade had arrived outside the general's mansion. With the consent of His Majesty, Xiao Yushan sent a team of guards from the general's mansion to escort Xiao Qingyue to Yue Kingdom, fearing that his son would be bullied.

After Xiao Qingyue and Xiao Yushan said goodbye, they got on the carriage as everyone watched.

Nangong Liuying's convoy drove out of the imperial city and headed towards the Moon Kingdom.

Xiao Qingyue lifted the car curtain and looked at the street. She might never be able to return in this life...

Your Highness...Goodbye!
