The wine spring seemed to have a faint aroma of wine floating in the air. Returning to the wine spring, Yue Chan's emotions were mixed, and she couldn't help but think of Qin Yun and the others.
"Princess, your highness …"
Qin Yun's face was covered in tears as he knelt in front of the carriage. He had never thought that there would be a day where he would be able to see the princess.
"Qin Yun, you …"
Yue Chanjuan never thought that she would be able to see Qin Yun again. If this was the case, then that Great Moon Sect wasn't completely wiped out. Someone had escaped, and the Xumi Army's scheme was completely exposed.
"Your servant greets the princess. Please punish me. Your servant deserves to die, your crimes deserve to die ten thousand deaths …"
Qin Yun sobbed softly and kowtowed with all her might. That time, she had escaped with her life. She panicked and fled, not daring to stay any longer. When they returned to the Jiuquan District, they did not receive any news from Yue Chanjuan. This slave servant had escaped and abandoned her master. This was a capital offense.
"If I see the princess again today, I would be willing to die. I beg the princess to grant me my death, I don't dare to beg for mercy."
"How many of you escaped?"
"None of the three escaped, only this servant was lucky enough to escape. She escaped back to Jiuquan along with the men from the Da Yue branch. "This servant deserves to die. I didn't find the princess and returned without permission. This servant is guilty of a capital offense …"
"Bang bang, bang bang …"
Qin Yun kowtowed heavily, blood seeping out of his forehead and leaving specks of crimson red on the snow.
Yue Chanjuan lowered her head to look at the kneeling Qin Yun in front of the carriage and did not speak. A servant abandoning her master in a life or death situation was indeed a capital offense.
A servant jumped down from the carriage and knelt on the ground for the sake of Yue Chan. At this moment, Yue Chanjuan also did not want to be special. All the races in the Western Regions followed this rule, so it would be inconvenient for her to be an exception.
The other servant came over and supported Yue Chanjuan. Yue Chanjuan placed her foot on the back of the kneeling servant and supported the other servant's arm as she stepped down from the horse carriage.
Qin Yun continued to kneel and kowtow on the ground, not daring to stop. Yue Chanjuan did not speak, but she felt the pressure increase. She regretted abandoning her master and running away. However, with Ma Qun's power and the miserable state of those people being trampled on by the horses, she did not dare to stay any longer and ran for her life.
Only when they finally managed to escape did they realize that Yue Chanjuan was nowhere to be seen. Only then did they chase after her. She and the people from the Great Moon Sect did not dare to stop in the slightest as they fled all the way.
Yue Chanjuan glanced at the servants. These servants were given to her by Iron Fetters and Tuoba Fei. Not only were they proficient in taming white dogs, their martial arts were also excellent.
The servants that Tuoba Fei had given her were servants that he had picked out from god knows where. At this moment, she had six servants by her side, four of which were given to her by Tie Fu, and the other two were given to her by Tuoba Fei.
She could understand that he had sent her a servant to help her train the white dog, the straightforward man, to whom she had a soft spot and no other ideas.
However, since Tuoba Fei had given her a servant, she couldn't help but ponder whether it was to monitor her or to protect her. It was hard to say. No matter which one it was, she couldn't and didn't dare to refuse, not to mention that these two servants were not only well-versed in the languages of the Huns, but also spoke good Chinese.
Yue Chanjuan did not speak, nor did she look at Qin Yun. She held two white dogs in her arms. These two white dogs were the best of the eight white dogs, as Tie Fu had mentioned before.
"Your Highness, I beg that Your Highness grant this slave her life."
Qin Yun watched in despair as Yue Chanjuan's feet swept past him without any intention of stopping. His heart was filled with regret and despair, and he only wished that he had died in Xumi.
"Creak …"
As her feet stepped on the snow, a crisp sound was emitted. As Qin Yun heard this, Yue Chanjuan still did not say anything. She could only continue kneeling on the snow, kowtowing nonstop.
After entering the room, the six servants arranged everything. However, Yue Chanjuan was exhausted and powerless; her heart was filled with endless thoughts. The smooth journey had exceeded her expectations. She had not expected that the journey back to the Jiuquan [1] would be so smooth.
"Your Highness, may I ask if you have any other instructions for me?"
After a while, the maidservant, Wu Lan Zhu, that Tuoba Fei sent to Yue Chanjuan walked in and bowed respectfully in front of the bed.
"Have you arranged all the white dogs?"
"Reporting to the princess, the arrangements have been made. Princess, please take your medicine."
Yue Chanjuan frowned slightly as she brought the steaming hot medicine to Yue Chanjuan. The injuries on her body had almost healed, and they were only superficial.
"What medicine is this?" "Why did you let me take the medicine?"
"It is the orders of the prince. He said that the princess is weak and that she is not used to the cold outside the city walls. Furthermore, she was injured before this, so she needs to be taken good care of." This is the Snow Ginseng and Snow Lotus Seeds that the Prince has asked me to bring along, along with other medicinal herbs. I hope that the Princess will take them and not let you down. "
"Is it the orders of the prince?"
When Yue Chanjuan received the medicine, she could smell the ginseng in her nostrils. She did not expect Tuoba Fei to be so meticulous to even think of such a small thing.
"Then help me thank your Prince. It's a pity that he's so busy, and still remembers my injuries."
"Princess is too serious. Your servant is her highness's servant, and belongs to her highness."
Servant and slave were the same in the Western Regions, except that the man became the slave and the woman was called servant. They were all the master's private property and could be sold and given to others as they wished, giving them a death penalty. Just like master's goods, everything belonged to master. Even if they were to be married in the future, the children they gave birth to would all belong to master's slaves.
Yue Chanjuan slowly drank the medicine and consumed half a bowl of steaming hot medicine. As expected, a warm feeling rose from her stomach, making her feel much more comfortable.
"Wu Lan Zhu, get that servant who was kneeling in front of the carriage just now to come in and see me."
"Yes."
Wu Lan Zhu bowed and retreated. Not long later, Qin Yun crawled in on his knees. As soon as she entered, she knelt on the ground and crawled over to Yue Chanjuan. She kept kowtowing to her.
"Your Highness, I beg that Your Highness grant this slave her life."
Knowing that her mistakes were unavoidable and unforgivable, she asked for Yue Chanjuan's death instead.
"How many people fled with you?"
"Only a dozen or so people escaped with this servant. I heard later that a dozen more escaped."
Yue Chan pondered for a moment. Two thousand five hundred elite soldiers, only a few dozen of them managed to escape?
"Only these dozens of people managed to escape? The rest of the people were killed by Xumi's men? "
"Yes, just because I was angry, I issued the killing order and issued a decree exterminating the Xumi Clan!"
