Zhuang Li had tried her best to ask about the information regarding the West Cold before. Was Xi Cuo still alive, and had Da Feng found out where they were? She wanted to hear the news that all was well.

In this past year, the West Cold had gradually walked out of the chaos that had occurred during the war, and every single word that he heard from the teahouse was talking about the economy of the West Cold.

Since her West Cold had already settled, there was naturally no need for the people she was worried about to worry. She was always by Wang Su's side and she naturally knew that Wang Su had never once thought of forcing his West Cold onto a path of no return. He even clearly knew the general direction in which Ge Ya and Xi Cuo were going, but he was too lazy to chase after them. All he wanted was for them to be obedient so that when Da Feng completely withdrew his troops from the West Cold, they would protect their own responsibilities and not cause trouble at the border anymore …

After all, Zhuang Li had always felt satisfied just by being able to live carefree.

At this time, he suddenly saw that the eunuch, who was originally bent over to look especially short, had suddenly stood up, revealing his tall stature. His deep eyes, clearly showed that he was a person of West Cold …

He sighed in his heart out of reflex. Was this guy giving up his life?

Before, he had many questions and worries about West Cold, but now, facing a West Cold practitioner who clearly wanted to pass on a message, he suddenly couldn't open his mouth. He couldn't seem to remember anything.

That West Cold individual risked his life to pass through those heavy palace gates, and in the end, arrived in front of, but Zhuang Li was not the least bit touched. However, at this moment, she needed him. She needed his information. She also needed him to mention the information she had sent him.

"My name is Matsumoto, and I am here for the princess. The Princess said that maybe I can call you Princess Zhuang Li. Your position in the Xiao Imperial Palace is as noble as her. "

Sure enough, he had come in Ge Ya's stead, and was not the current king of West Cold, the Second Prince Highness back then. For a moment, his impression of him increased greatly, and he wanted to ask about the situation of her old friend.

"No need. If you're someone from Ge Ya's clan, you can just call me Zhuang Li." She looked at the man in front of her, and Ge Ya's spirited face appeared in her mind.

When the West Cold disciple called Matsumoto saw Zhuang Li's easygoing attitude, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief, as if he still doubted Ge Ya's words before she came.

"The princess wants me to come to the capital to meet you no matter what …"

"How is she?" Zhuang Li interrupted him and asked about the situation of her little sister who was still far away.

"The princess is very well, and the prince is very well as well …" He seemed to be afraid that Zhuang Li wouldn't understand, so he added another sentence.

"It's His Highness Xi Cuo …"

"I got it …" "Go back and tell them that I'm fine too …"

That person from the West Cold seemed to not know what to say after hearing Zhuang Li's straightforward and simple reply. Initially, when she came, the princess was still tearing for her friend because her fate in the palace was unfair. She wanted to think of a way to save her, but the woman in front of her, with just a few simple words, had sent her away? Was the friend that she and Princess Ge Ya were talking about the same person?

"..." Don't you want to leave the palace? Princess Ge Ya gave us an order to bring you back to the West Cold no matter what happens. I'm here to contact you first, there are still many people outside the city who will listen to your orders … "

Zhuang Li naturally did not expect Ge Ya to have such a plan, although it was too reckless, for these people, to mix in with them, was it really luck, did they think that there would not be any experts in the Great Phoenix? If she met someone like Yun Duan, he would not even be able to go through the Opposite Moon House.

"Since you came here with the envoy, then do your duty of protecting the envoy's safety. I've heard that the envoy angered the emperor, so if you're interested, you should try to persuade him. Also, please tell Princess Ge Ya that everything is fine for me and that I'm not willing to leave the Great Phoenix. I know she's doing well, but I also feel relieved. If fate has brought us together in this life, we will naturally meet again. "

That person from the West Cold was naturally stunned by Zhuang Li's words. He had never imagined that Zhuang Li seemed to be unwilling to leave the palace as he thought about how to avoid the guards, how to sneak into the palace, and how to take Zhuang Li out of the palace. What kind of arrangements should be made to ensure that she completed Princess Ge Ya's orders.

He could not understand what Zhuang Li was really thinking. She had snuck all the way into this layers of a palace, and even though she felt it was grand and magnificent, it was more like a heavy chain that imprisoned a person. How could anyone not want to leave?

The people of West Cold loved freedom, and they had always heard the Princess talk about them being the two little magpies on the West Cold grape arbour. However, if Zhuang Li was the magpie who yearned for freedom as mentioned by the princess, how could she fly and start singing in such a deep palace?

"Why? Would Princess Zhuang Li not like to return to the West Cold? You don't want to see Princess Ge Ya and Her Highness Xi Cuo again? " He couldn't help but ask for the princess's sake.

"Just tell the princess that I am now the wife of the Great Phoenix Emperor and that I have given my heart to him. Since I love him, I will naturally stay here. There was a chance to meet Princess Ge Ya, so the two nations could not possibly continue their stalemate. Please also tell His Highness Xi Cuo … "

She had originally wanted to say more, but the Great Phoenix did not have any plans to merge the West Cold. It was just that the disputes between the West Cold and the borders of the Great Phoenix were far too numerous. But how could he bear to say that to his friend when he thought about it? The war had cost the old king his life, even though he was old and not well enough to go downhill year after year. And it was undeniable that his life had ended because of the war.

Xi Cuo, on the other hand, was only saved after wandering around the gates of hell for so long because of his injuries during the battle. To them, the Great Phoenix was their national hatred, so how could they be willing to listen to what he had to say? I'm afraid the relationship between the two countries will be even worse.

After all, in that war, the West Cold royal family had indeed paid the price of blood …

But, the borders of the Great Phoenix had already shed blood and cried for many years due to the harassment from the West Cold. The barren land might not be enough to make the citizens lower their heads, but what was even more troubling was the prolonged invasion of West Cold bandits. They plundered money until they realized that the place was already poor, and then they began to attack women and children...

Wasn't this why I reached the West Cold back then? Wasn't she clear about what kind of ordeal she had experienced? If not for the fact that Xi Cuo and Ge Ya, who happened to pass by that time to save her, she wouldn't even dare to imagine what kind of fate would have befallen her because of those bandits …

However, how could a person who carried a national grudge consider such things? However, she still had to pass on her feelings to him.

She loved Wang Su. Even if it meant living in a palace, she would still live here, and she was willing to do so.

That kind of love was extremely strong. She wanted to guard him like this and light the candles in the night for him. Watching him fall asleep with his eyelashes quivering, he felt sorry for anyone.

No matter what she did, she would make that person feel happy. That was her best wish.

Zhuang Li's words made that envoy from the West Cold unable to react. He was still unable to accept it in the end. Why was the woman in front of him different from what Princess Ge Ya had said? Why wasn't she willing to follow him back to the West Cold? Why did she suddenly fall in love with the cold and heartless Emperor of the Great Phoenix?

The Great Phoenix Emperor had so many wives, but this was because Xi Cuo wanted to wait for this woman in front of him to never get married.

He wasn't sure if he should knock out the woman in front of him, then stuff her into a sack and bring her back to the West Cold. He would think about it after seeing the princess.

However, on the way here, he naturally knew that the imperial palace of the Great Phoenix was heavily guarded. It was already too difficult for him to sneak in, so how could he bring a reluctant woman in a cloth bag and escape from the palace?

But no matter what, he still had to ask a few questions for His Royal Highness.

"Have you never loved His Highness Xi Cuo? Your Highness has been waiting for you to return. In his heart, you have long been his only wangfei. "

Zhuang Li didn't know how to explain this to the man standing in front of him. She couldn't explain the relationship between a man and a woman herself, let alone a man who looked like a fool and hadn't even been in a relationship. She had indeed tacitly allowed him to be her consort on many occasions, but how could she explain her feelings to the person in front of her? What kind of feelings could be considered love?

Should she write a love poem on the spot to express how much she loved Wang Su? What kind of love?

Whether that man was passionate or indifferent to her, she liked all of them …

She could only constantly emphasize this to the West Cold user, as she herself would not return there. Right now, the Great Phoenix was her true homeland …

Seeing that persuading Zhuang Li was ineffective, the person from West Cold was unwilling. Before leaving, he gave a small bamboo tube to Zhuang Li to keep.

"These are fireworks with special characteristics, we are still about ten days away from leaving. If you change your mind, you can release the fireworks into the sky at night. No matter what the situation in the palace is like, or whether it is paying with your life or something, we will definitely come to pick you up and bring you back to West Cold."

His words were especially cautious, causing Zhuang Li to have no choice but to keep the firework, although she knew that it was impossible for her to light it up.

However, perhaps he could just leave them for her to think about. The feelings of a distant friend towards him, letting him feel their feelings, was already the best belonging to this relationship …
