Quick Transmigration: Host, Please Be a Mute Beauty

The only time General Chi had a selfish thought was when he, too, had fought his way out of the battlefield. His son and daughter-in-law had both perished, and he didn't want his only grandson to remain on the battlefield.

“Grandfather, why do you think the Emperor would give me a title? He wants the Chi family to serve him. If I don’t go, the Chi family will be worthless. The Emperor won’t keep a useless family.” Chi Qi’an stared blankly at the other person, he knew very well.

Chi Lu opened his mouth, but could not speak, and could only sigh.

After a while, he said again, "Qi'an, your grandfather named you this in the hope that your father would return safely from the battlefield, but... he didn't come back, and your grandfather only has you left! My Chi family has served the country for generations, and now we are powerless to leave anyone behind."

Chi Qi'an looked up at the sky without saying a word. Life is unpredictable, and there was nothing he could do about it.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Jiang Ji frowned as he looked at the memorials in his hand; all of them were impeachments against the Eldest Princess.

It is said that rumors about the eldest princess are circulating among the people, which are too provocative. They hope that the emperor will severely punish the eldest princess to appease public anger.

A few days ago, Qin Pianyue died violently at the city gate, which was witnessed by so many people and had a great impact.

Jiang Ji asked Li Dequan, "Li Dequan, what do you think I should do about this?"

Li Dequan dared not offer any unsolicited opinion, saying, "This servant is foolish and dull."

Jiang Ji was very annoyed. "Chang Le's temperament needs to be tempered. She has already come of age and should have moved out of the palace long ago. Grant her a house as her princess residence and let her move there! Staying in the palace will only cause trouble!"

"This servant will take care of it immediately!"

This punishment is already quite severe. The princess's residence has never been approved for new houses; they are all newly built. It seems that this time the emperor has truly abandoned her!

Jiang Qiao wasn't too surprised to receive the news. She had already heard the rumors from the past few days. She didn't expect Qin Pianyue to have such abilities, still trying to trick her even when she was about to die.

But she wasn't afraid. How many rumors had been spread about the eldest princess?

Yu Xing was almost in tears. "Princess, why aren't you worried at all? The Emperor is trying to send us away!"

Jiang Qiao's voice was hoarse; she had caught a chill. "What's the panic? Let's go! This princess doesn't want to stay here!"

"Yuxing, tell Eunuch Li that I want that house on Qinglong Street. Once they're ready, we'll set off immediately. I don't want to stay here anymore. This palace is so boring. We can do whatever we want then!"

Yu Xing answered crisply, "Princess, but you can do whatever you want now! This servant doesn't see any difference."

Jiang Qiao: "...Am I really that arrogant?"

Yu Xing answered honestly, "A little, and a little arrogant!"

Jiang Qiao: ...

"By the way, I don't plan to take Linglong with me this time when I leave the palace. Tell her to go back to her mother's place!"

Due to the limited resources in this world, Jiang Qiao couldn't perform surgery on her. He only made her some scar-reducing beauty cream. Now, the scars on Linglong's face have faded a lot and are not so scary anymore.

Yu Xing: "Okay, Sister Linglong hasn't seen the Empress in a long time either."

She then asked, "By the way, Princess, why did you choose Qinglong Street? It's far from the city center!"

Jiang Qiao put a string of Buddhist prayer beads on her wrist, "Because this princess wants a prince consort!"

If she remembered correctly, the Auxiliary General's Mansion was located near Qinglong Street.

Rain Star: "Huh?"

The Imperial Household Department packed things up quite quickly, and by evening they had already cleaned the princess's residence inside and out.

Jiang Qiao was really anxious, so she left the palace that very night and went straight to her new residence.

Before leaving, she took a box of incense from the counter and gave it to the head steward of the Imperial Household Department. She pinched herself to make herself look more pitiful. "Head Steward Wang, this is a calming incense that I made myself for my father. It is several times more effective than other incense. Please give it to my father for me. It was my fault for making him angry."

Yu Xing stared at the scene before her, biting her lip and not daring to speak. She had personally witnessed the princess making these incenses using the medicine she had bought last time.

The princess said it was...poison!

Steward Wang accepted it amiably, saying, "This servant understands. Tomorrow, this servant will personally deliver it to the Emperor and speak well of the princess."

Jiang Qiao: Who cares!

"Then thank you very much, Steward Wang!"

……

Yonghe Palace.

The lights inside the hall flickered, and a young man dressed in white satin stood by the window. "Has she already left?"

"Your Highness, judging by the time, the Princess's carriage should have already left the palace gates by now."

"Go back!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Yanchuan's eyes flickered with the candlelight, carrying an unusually eccentric aura that made one want to protect him yet also felt a chill run down one's spine.

She said she would protect him, but that was all a lie. Why did she leave so decisively?

fraud!

……

When Jiang Qiao arrived at the princess's residence, it was already completely dark. The place was indeed quiet, with leaves rustling in the treetops as the wind blew, a sound that was truly eerie.

"Princess, if you ask me, this place is really not as good as the palace. This place looks like it's haunted."

Jiang Qiao deliberately scared her: "So many people died in the palace, it seems like there are even more ghosts."

Rain Star: ...Are you serious?

"Alright, let's go inside quickly, I'm feeling a little dizzy!"

"Alright, quickly send the princess back to Mingyin Pavilion."

……

The princess's departure from the palace was quite a grand affair. Not far away was the General's Mansion, where General Chi was still awake and practicing his swordsmanship in the courtyard.

Hearing the orderly footsteps outside, Chi Lu was puzzled. The guards?

What are they doing here?

Once the noise subsided, Chi Lu opened the door, where several rows of guards stood neatly not far away.

He muttered to himself, "I haven't heard of anyone buying it over there! These mansions were all built by the royal family and can't be bought or sold. Who could it be?"

"Grandfather, what are you doing?"

The sudden sound startled Chi Lu.

Who else could it be but Chi Qi'an?

"You brat, you think you're so great now that your kung fu is better than mine? You can even walk without making a sound!"

Chi Qi'an: ...

He wasn't really proud of that.

Chi Lu pulled him over, "Come, come, look, someone lives there! Making such a big fuss, who is it? You're good at light footwork, fly over and see! (*ˉ︶ˉ*)"

Chi Qi'an: "...I am a general, not a thief."
