Chapter 626 8 Princess Returns to the Palace
Ye Qianyao... has occupied the position of Mrs. Pei for a long time, it is time for her to leave.
"Sir, the luggage is ready, please set off!"
The attendant quickly finished tidying up and reported to Shen Yuming. Shen Yuming nodded gently: "Let's go."
In addition to the two attendants, there was also a guard specially arranged by the Seventh Prince to ensure his safety during the journey. After getting on the carriage, the convoy slowly drove away from the capital.
Inside the car, Shen Yuming lightly lifted a corner of the curtain, looked over the scenery outside the window, the corners of his mouth inadvertently raised, and his eyes flashed with ambition and strategy.
This trip was not for ancestor worship as rumored by the outside world, but to meet a person who was in a similarly difficult situation but had a prominent status - the eighth princess Baili Fengqin.
In his dream, Shen Yuming predicted the fate of the eighth princess.
She was about to be taken back to the palace, but was attacked by bandits while resting at an inn on the way. All the guards escorting her were killed, and the Eighth Princess was nearly insulted. Fortunately, a man named Zhao rescued her in time.
Afterwards, the eighth princess fell in love with her savior and eventually married the man, making him a royal consort and holding great power.
Shen Yuming lowered the curtains with a gloomy look on his face.
How could he let such a good opportunity go to someone else? Wouldn't it be wonderful if he played the hero and married the Eighth Princess?
"Eighth Princess!" Shen Yuming whispered to himself, and the image of the Eighth Princess with difficulty in movement and a vicious look on her face appeared before his eyes.
Although he had not been interested in such women before, the situation was different now. The Eighth Princess could help him climb to a high position, far better than his current wife, Ye Qianyao.
Thinking of this, a trace of cold determination flashed in his eyes: "It's time to give up Mrs. Pei's position."
Two days later, at Yuhua Villa, the maids were very excited when they heard the news of the arrival of the envoy from the palace. They hurried to tell the Eighth Princess: "Princess, the people from the palace are here!"
"Your Highness, the messenger from the palace is here to pick you up!"
When the Eighth Princess heard what the maids said, she stood up suddenly, her face full of shock: "What did you say? The palace sent someone?"
The maid nodded and said excitedly, "Yes! Someone from the palace is here to take you back! This is great. You have endured for so long, and you can finally go home."
The Eighth Princess was stunned, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She limped out and said anxiously, "Help me over quickly, I want to see it myself."
"Yes, sir." The maid immediately stepped forward to support him.
The eighth princess was extremely anxious and walked very quickly.
After being imprisoned here for four years, the days of not leaving the house are finally coming to an end? Although she was extremely anxious, she was unable to move quickly.
"Princess, slow down." The maid looked at her worriedly and reminded her.
The Eighth Princess almost tripped over her skirt. After hearing the maid's reminder, she frowned and suddenly slapped the maid: "What did you say? How dare you complain that I walk too slowly?"
The slap was so heavy that the maid's face instantly became red and swollen, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
The maid didn't dare to complain, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "I dare not, Princess, please spare my life! This is not what I meant."
"What do you mean? You are clearly making fun of my legs!" The Eighth Princess was furious, her eyes filled with hostility.
She hates it most when people mention her leg disease.
A fall in her childhood left her with difficulty walking, and she suffered a lot of ridicule and isolation as a result.
The maid was so frightened that she was trembling all over and her face turned pale: "Princess, please spare me. I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
At this time, another maid ran over and whispered: "Your Highness, today is a festive day, it is not appropriate to see blood, you should go and have a look quickly."
The Eighth Princess looked coldly at the maid kneeling on the ground, and finally decided to let her go: "You are lucky. Today is indeed a good day to welcome me back to the palace. It is not appropriate to see blood."
Then, she said coldly to another maid: "Tell her to get out of here and never show up in front of me again!"
The maid kneeling on the ground kowtowed repeatedly, then quickly fled the scene, fearing that the eighth princess would change her mind.
The Eighth Princess snorted, turned around slowly, and walked towards the entrance of the villa. She saw a team of guards from the palace standing there.
Seeing this scene, the corners of the Eighth Princess' mouth slightly raised:
"It seems that my father has finally remembered me and sent someone to take me back to the palace. Get ready quickly. Don't bring too many things. My mother will arrange everything for me when I return."
The maid bowed her head and said "yes", and the Eighth Princess broke into a bright smile.
Trapped in this villa for many years, she thought she would spend the rest of her life like this.
But today, fate gave her new hope.
Whenever she thought of the days of imprisonment and the suffering brought to her by the Mu family, the anger in her heart was difficult to calm down.
"Mu family, just wait and see! I will take revenge for the four years of imprisonment doubled!"
An hour later, the followers packed their luggage.
The eighth princess boarded the carriage and gazed at the villa where she was imprisoned for the last time with a smile of relief.
"I'm finally going home."
The team escorting the eighth princess set off for the capital.
The long-term bumpy ride made the Eighth Princess, who had not been out for a long time, feel sore in her back and waist, and her legs and feet gradually became numb.
"Stop!" she ordered loudly, "This carriage is shaking so much that I'm about to fall apart!"
Faced with the Eighth Princess' dissatisfaction, the maidservant dared not say much and immediately conveyed the instruction to rest.
Although the guards were hesitant, they agreed to a short rest considering the princess's physical condition.
Half an hour later, the general came to remind them that they must continue to move forward to ensure safe arrival at the next stop.
Hearing the news that they might encounter bandits, the Eighth Princess nodded and agreed to continue the journey. In this way, accompanied by her guards, the Eighth Princess set out on her journey home.
The commander of the Royal Guards waved his hand gently, signaling the team to continue moving forward.
The carriage was shaking and bumping, and the Eighth Princess was sitting inside. Her body was aching from the prolonged vibration, but she could only endure it silently.
As the sun set, they finally arrived at a simple post station.
A maid hurried forward to help the Eighth Princess get off the car slowly. The commander stepped forward and said, "Princess, we will rest here tonight."
The Eighth Princess replied softly, her eyes swept across the dilapidated building, her brows slightly frowned: "Why is this place so simple? How can I rest in peace?"
"Please forgive me, Princess. This wilderness is naturally not comparable to the mountain villa or the palace. Just hold on for two more days and you will be able to return to the palace safely."
Although she was dissatisfied, the Eighth Princess still managed to control her emotions and stepped into the post station.
Looking at her back, a hint of coldness flashed in the commander's eyes.
There were already many people staying in the post station. Several men, leading their horses, walked past the commander and nodded slightly.
He nodded in response, and their eyes revealed complex messages when they met.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and for the Eighth Princess, entering this posthouse may mean that she will never be able to leave again...
