Chapter 005: The Way Back

Carriages and horses transit, flags cover the sky, ten miles of red makeup, and thousands of empty alleys.

This is the second time she has put on a red wedding dress, in her past life and in this life, for the same person. The memories of the past seem to be still vivid, but overnight, it is already two worlds.

On that day, she took expectations, with the shyness of her daughter's family, with a vision for the future, and delivered her tenderness, but in exchange for pain and betrayal, now, there is only endless coldness and indifference left in her heart, and the palace of Ningyue Country is a cold place with a bleak wind and snow for her, and a dust and robbery field with nowhere to escape.

Since there is nowhere to escape, there is no choice but to swim against the current.

"Jade Hook Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose-"

The subjects of the capital of the Heavenly Star Kingdom knelt on both sides of the city gate, looking at Mu Qingchen, who was dressed in brocade clothes, and the mountain called a thousand years old. They always remembered that it was the Jade Hook Princess, with the expectations of the subjects of the Heavenly Star Country, who gave up her lifelong happiness and went to the Ningyue Kingdom with the mission of the royal family, just to ensure the safety of one party.

"Qingchen, the imperial brother knows that he has wronged you this time, take care of yourself. The royal brother promised you that he would definitely take you back. Mu Qingjue stood in front of the city gate in a bright yellow dragon robe, looked at the slender woman in front of him, and solemnly promised.

Although he knew that he should not hand over the fate of the country to a woman, he could not do anything about it.

"Qingchen thanks the imperial brother for his concern, as long as the Heavenly Star Kingdom and the imperial brother are well, what is Qingchen's grievance?" Mu Qingchen lowered her head and covered the look in her eyes, once upon a time, she could tell a lie that she didn't even believe in without changing her face.

"Okay, Prince Yi's car has already taken a step out of the city, and General Lou will escort you all the way, meet Prince Yi's car outside the city, and go to Ningyue. Mu Qingjue finally let go of Qingchen's hand, took a step back, and signaled that it was time for her to leave.

"Brother Huang, don't you have anything else to say to Qingchen?" A smile appeared on the corner of Mu Qingchen's mouth, looking at Mu Qingjue's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, he knew it in his heart.

It's a pity that the original Mu Qingchen was too timid and chose to commit suicide to escape all this, and now since it is her in this body, why didn't she obey Mu Qingjue's wishes?

"The Empress of Ningyue Country has died a few days ago, and the throne is vacant, there are only a few concubines, all of whom are the family members of the ministers of Ningyue Kingdom, with your appearance and talent, you will definitely be able to beat them. Mu Qingjue said very tactfully, but Qingchen understood.

A few concubines are not her opponents, which means that she should go to the back position, in the final analysis, this Mu Qingjue, like Xiao Ling, can even sacrifice her sister for her own ambitions.

However, it doesn't matter, if Mu Qingjue doesn't have such courage, then she can't achieve her goal, besides, she is not the real Mu Qingchen, no matter how Mu Qingjue chooses, it can't hurt her.

"That being the case, Qingchen bids farewell to the imperial brother, and I don't know when I will see you again, and I hope that the imperial brother will take care. After Mu Qingchen finished speaking, he no longer lingered, supported by Jin Yan, turned around and walked to the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, and ordered to set off.

"General Lou, the safety of the princess will be entrusted to you. Mu Qingjue saw Qingchen get into the carriage, so he turned his head and said to the man in a dark robe behind the carriage.

"The last general will live up to the emperor's trust, and he will definitely send the princess to the Ningyue Capital City safely. The man in Xuanyi saluted Mu Qingjue with his fists, turned over on the horse, lowered his head to hide the complicated look in his eyes, turned the horse's head, and chased after the car that had gone away.

From the Kingdom of Heavenly Stars to the Land of the Moon, it is a departure from home, but it is also a way back.

Mu Qingchen's carriage and horse slowly left from Kyoto in the Star Country, taking the rich dowry prepared by Mu Qingjue for her, and disappeared outside the gate of the imperial city in a moment, and only a little flag fluttering in the wind was faintly visible in the sky in the distance, indicating that this was the car of the Jade Hook Princess of the Star Kingdom.

Mu Qingchen sat in the carriage, the heavy curtain blocked her vision, and only by listening to the sound of the generals talking outside the carriage from time to time, she knew that Xiao Yi's convoy had been not far in front of her and her team, keeping a distance not far away.

Thoughts fluttering, Qingchen meditating, Xiao Ling, it was only a few months of hard work, how could you never have thought that I would come to your side again in such a way.

Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Qingchen's mouth, and the waves of his eyes were fleeting, leaving only a dead silence, like a touch of sadness when looking through the autumn water.

"Princess, if you are bitter in your heart, talk to Jinyan. Jin Yan knew that the princess didn't go to get married, not only because she didn't want to be the abandoned son of the Star Kingdom, but also for General Lou. Jin Yan saw the expression on Qingchen's face, and turned his head to look at the overlapping figures outside the sedan curtain, but finally couldn't hold back and spoke like this.

"General Lou?" Qingchen was surprised, couldn't help but turn his head, lifted the sedan curtain, and looked outside.

The man in the dark clothes rode a horse and walked beside her sedan chair, not far or close, side by side with her sedan chair, but always kept a distance. Seeing Qingchen open the sedan curtain, he turned his head to look at Qingchen and whispered softly:

"What does the princess command?"
