After being bullied, her martial arts had also been humiliated. Although she usually had such an impudent attitude, she was still a princess in the end, and no one in the Xiao Imperial Palace had ever dared to go against her. How could he bear to be bullied like this? He immediately became even angrier. The grief and shame from the past few days seemed to have found out the culprit at this time. It was as if killing intent had truly erupted. Even if he were to put his life on the line, he had to die together with this shameless man in front of him.
"I will definitely kill you today." She looked around and saw a jade vase. She felt even more infuriated. The style of the Duyue Restaurant and the building of the Great Phoenix were combined together, and this jade vase was precisely the product of the Great Phoenix. Ge Ya grabbed the vase and threw it towards Young Master Loulan.
Even though the vase was valuable, Lou Lan did not accept it even though he was pained. The grievances Princess of West Cold had suffered in the past few days had to be vented out, so he just turned his body slightly, allowing the vase to pass by him and crash into the ground. He then smoothly handed the dagger which he had just snatched away to the princess.
Ge Ya never thought that the scholar with jade-like face, who seemed like a shrewd merchant, would actually have such skill. Although Ge Ya was curious, she never expected that she would respectfully offer the blade she took away in front of him.
The anger in his heart was still burning, naturally he was unwilling to let him go. He took the sword and pressed it against Young Master Loulan's neck, which was whiter than a woman's. As the tip of the blade pierced into the flesh, it was possible to see that fresh, red blood was already seeping out from the lower layer of the skin.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" Even a blind person would be able to tell that the Young Master Loulan's skills were much better than his, but they had never thought that he would actually be willing to surrender without a fight.
"Don't worry, the princess won't kill me."
"Are you that sure? What makes you so sure? With this kind of hand, yet not willing to protect the borders of West Cold, and hiding in a brothel to live such a leisurely life, if I don't work with a person like you, why wouldn't I kill you? "
Lou Lan sighed deeply. The princess was still young, and now she still needed Lou Lan to teach her better.
"Princess, do you know what the wish of the West Cold is?"
This question stunned Ge Ya completely. What problem is this? What was this strange Young Master Loulan up to?
However, he seemed to be under magic as he answered the man's question.
"West Cold? the people of the country? "
"Then how can I do it?"
"Throw all of Da Feng's army out …"
"How can I chase out the army of the Great Phoenix?"
"…" Ge Ya was speechless. This was indeed a problem. Logically speaking, it should be able to use West Cold's army to drive Da Feng's army out of the country's borders, but did the current West Cold have an army? Was there anyone else who could lead troops to war?
Seeing that the little princess had finally begun to think things through, Young Master Loulan finally calmed down and started to speak the words that he had been holding in for a long time.
"Princess wishes for the peace of the nation, knowing that the citizens of West Cold need these things right now. These are all very good, very good …"
He spoke very slowly, as if he had suddenly turned into an elder with a lot of care. In an instant, it was as if he had forgotten about his provocation towards the royal power, and now that he was extremely careful with every word he said, he also took into account the feelings of the princess, and began to think seriously.
"But how can the princess do all this? Although our West Cold has been pushed back step by step, in the end, it is not that many people have died and our West Cold is lacking. What the princess needs is a king who can gather all our West Cold. "
Ge Ya did not say anything. Looking at him, her gaze was no longer as fierce as before, but the blade was still stubbornly pressing onto Young Master Loulan's neck, just that it was not as strong as before.
"The king whom the princess needs is Xi Cuo, and now, everyone thinks that Prince Xi Cuo has died. Princess Ge Ya has also married a long time ago to the Great Phoenix. This was the situation with the current West Cold and was also the situation the people of the Great Phoenix hoped to see.
Although the princess felt that the situation in front of her has become a mess and has almost reached a dead end, I still do not think so. "
He slowly extended his hand and removed the blade that was pressed against the side of Ge Ya's throat. The entire process was unquestionable, yet carried a certain power, making Ge Ya have no choice but to listen to his arrangements.
"But right now, there is nothing lacking in West Cold. Even though the prince of West Cold is heavily injured, he is not beyond hope. Even though the princess of West Cold lives in a brothel like how you would think a mouse would be an ant, she has not married into the phoenix. I wonder if Princess can understand the heart of a common citizen with West Cold? You and the Prince are the most important safeguards in our hearts, and as long as you two are still alive, your West Cold will never be destroyed. "
Ge Ya did not expect Lou Lan to say such words. She had never thought of this either. In this period of time, she had experienced too many things. Some things she had always believed in had already collapsed. There were no friends around her, no comfort from her brother, many things … She felt only shame and anger. She felt that the Great Phoenix had destroyed everything that was precious to her, but she had never realized the current situation she was in. She calmed down and thought about how she could do what she should for her family in her country.
What she lost, she would take back.
He must get it back …
"Not long after, Great Feng will find out that the Princess Ge Ya who was sent to reconcile with us is fake, and will find out that you have successfully hidden away. Under their watchful eyes, you have given us an extremely valuable opportunity to do your best to conceal you and the prince so as to heal the prince's injuries. Princess, once you grow up, and are able to shoulder the responsibilities of West Cold, the first thing you must do, is to not let your friends die in vain, alright? "
His last sentence was extremely slow, and fully took into account the princess' state of mind. However, he unquestionably placed the most cruel reality in front of Ge Ya, causing the wound on the girl's body, who wasn't even twenty years old, to once again be ripped apart while dripping with blood. He wanted her to know that she was a princess of the West Cold and that even though she was in dire straits right now, countless people had paid with their blood and lives to buy that opportunity for her.
Ge Ya's hands drooped down, and for a moment, she was unable to stand steadily. She took a few steps back, and was about to fall, but in the end, she clenched her teeth and propped herself up. Her tears continuously fell.
"Zhuang Li..."
That woman had gone through countless years of spring and autumn with her. She had accompanied her, supported her, and helped her. She was her only companion. However, that woman had decisively embarked on a path of death. She also thought that she would eventually marry her brother and become the closest person to her, apart from her future husband.
They had ridden their horses across the prairie, thinking they were strong enough to control their own destinies, and they had talked all night in their velvet quilts, thinking their future was as warm and beautiful as the little stove beside them, but what was left now?
She remembered the first time she saw Zhuang Li, when that small body of hers was grabbed by the big sized man, looking like a wild beast in comparison.
She had never seen a child like this who was so stubborn and stubborn. She only wanted to protect her; she was a princess. Whatever she wanted, she would get it. Her sword could pierce through the strongest armor, and her guards were strong enough to protect the child.
She was so anxious to protect her safety.
However, what filled her mind right now was the expression on Zhuang Li's face as he pushed her away, stubbornly as unyielding as the little girl she saved all those years ago.
She could not stop her tears. The pain of being gouged out from her bones was like a deep grudge that was carved into her bones.
She clenched her fists, but her tears continued to flow …
The wound on Young Master Loulan's neck was not deep. Only a small amount of blood flowed down along his neck, which rested on his collar, which was embroidered with jasmine flowers.
Originally, the embroidered silk clothing was extremely extravagant and complicated, but at this moment, it gave off a feeling of softness and gentleness. His usually sharp eyes turned gentle once again. He took the little girl in front of him and hugged her to comfort her.
In the future, the princess of this country would have to play an even more important role.
"Don't be afraid …"
"..." "I don't want her to die …"
"I know …"
"…" She choked and couldn't speak anymore. Leaning into the man's arms.
"Your Highness, I, Lou Lan, swear an oath to be loyal to you and Your Highness Xi Cuo. No matter what, I will use my life's worth of energy to once again raise my West Cold."
He spoke very earnestly, collecting all the teasing of the past. It was especially pious as it comforted and protected the child in his arms.
Although he traveled around the countries, loved the cultures of the various places, and liked those gaudy decorations, deep down, he was a person of West Cold from the bottom of his heart.
He had never thought that one day he would be involved in the struggle for power. Although he was extremely talented and had already displayed extraordinary talent at a young age, he had never thought of just being a rich and idle person, or a particularly wealthy and idle person.
However, the current situation had indeed exceeded his expectations. But he had already made up his mind.
Luo Lihua pushed the door open and saw that Ge Ya's eyes were already red, yet she was extremely stubborn. In the blink of an eye, she saw that Lou Lan had already returned to her normal state and even winked at her.
"Young Master?"
"How is His Royal Highness now?" Lou Lan asked.
Luo Lihua shook her head, only to see the wound on Young Master Loulan's neck. She did not say anything, but went to the cabinet and took out the medicine for Young Master Loulan to apply.
