C128 A Grudge Buried in the Bones!

Si Yaohui’s confidence suddenly rose, “It won’t do you any good to drag on like this. The imperial edict from Empress Dowager Canglan was probably sent in a hurry. How long can you drag on?”

He Dongzhi was shocked and embarrassed, “Who told you that? We, Canglan, will never agree to peace talks. We will pay you back one day.”

He Dongzhi left angrily.

Canglan and He Dongzhi’s second peace talks failed…

He Dongzhi returned to his house confidently after leaving.

Lan Qingqian was sitting on the tree and talking to Gu Jun’an.

“Old son-in-law, how am I going to get down if you don’t take me?”

“Jump!” Gu Jun’an said.

“Ah, what if I break my leg?” Lan Qingqian wasn’t that stupid. The tree was tall and big. She would definitely fall if she jumped.

“If you fall, I will take care of you!” Gu Jun’an didn’t have to worry about her.

Lan Qingqian shook her head, “No, no. I don’t have legs. Old son-in-law, please take me. You can also find someone to take me.”

“You don’t have the ability to jump down the tree and still have the guts to climb it?” Gu Jun’an said coldly. He had to make her change her bad habit today.

“I…” Lan Qingqian was short of breath. She could only look at him with her watery eyes. She hoped that she could get help by acting cute.

“Go down. I’ll hold you. If you can’t get down, you can stay on the tree and be a fruit.” Gu Jun’an was soft-hearted. He found a ribbon and jumped onto the tree. He held her with one hand while he held the other hand to hold her small body.

“Okay, go down!”

“I, I don’t dare!” Lan Qingqian looked at the tree. “What if I slip and fall?”

“There’s a rope to hold you!”

Lan Qingqian couldn’t do anything else. She could only push herself down the tree.

She accidentally stepped on air and staggered. She was hanging in the air.

Gu Jun’an frowned. “Keep holding the tree.”

“Okay!” The little girl grumbled. After a long while, she finally got down from the tree.

Gu Jun’an took a deep breath and lifted her up to the tree. “Go down yourself.”

He repeated this for more than ten times. He watched as she steadily mastered the technique of holding the tree. Gu Jun’an then said, “If you dare to climb the tree in the future, you must have the ability to get down.”

He Dongzhi felt a little warm when he saw this. He didn’t understand why Xiao Ren’s brother would tell Gu Jun’an to take care of the Ninth Princess.

Now, it seemed that he was the most suitable person. He was cold-blooded but he was a person worth entrusting to. One day, he would be able to support the Ninth Princess.

Gu Jun'an and Lan Qingqian stood there for a while before they noticed her. Gu Jun'an gave Lan Qingqian two oranges and went to talk to He Dongzhi.

"How was it?"

"It was within our plan. It seems like it's time for the West Province to negotiate."

The two of them looked at each other and didn't talk about it anymore.

In the 6th month of the 8th year of the 6th month, after the Luo Country was destroyed in the West Province, the East Late Country negotiated with the West Province and Canglan Country to give them the land. They gave back the five cities in the West Province and three cities to the East Late Country. They moved the memorial tablets of the Deceased Emperor of Canglan Country out of the Temple of Chang Ci and gave them to their descendants to worship. They also gave Canglan three cities.

After the agreement was made, the two sides exchanged the horses and armies. The war had ended.

Before they left, Lan Qingqian went to look for the pampered person again.

The pampered person carefully gave the map to her and still gave her some pastries. This time, there were fewer people, so Lan Qingqian didn't bother to talk to her anymore. She took the pastries and left.

She didn't expect to meet Empress Zhang.

She saw Lan Qingqian humming a song and eating pastries as she walked out.

Empress Zhang stopped her, "You came to look for the pampered person for pastries again?"

Lan Qingqian nodded, "You want to give me pastries too?"

"Okay, but you have to answer a few questions first. If you can answer them, you can eat whatever you want!" Empress Zhang glanced at the room where the pampered person lived.

Lan Qingqian nodded.

She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. Although she knew that Gu Xiaojiu was cunning, she was still afraid that she would reveal something. Empress Zhang was doing this on purpose to catch her.

“Empress, even if you ask me a question, I’ll answer you!”

“Okay.” Empress Zhang smiled.

“What kind of pastries do you have?”

Empress Zhang frowned. Was she an idiot? What kind of questions were she asking? However, she smiled. “I don’t have any pastries, but I do have Lotus Cake, Lotus Porridge, Jelly Jelly…”

Lan Qingqian shook her head in pity. “None of them are delicious. None of them are as delicious as Sister Snake Spirit’s pastries.” As she spoke, she opened the box for Empress Zhang to see what was inside.

“Since none of them are as delicious as what I want to eat, I’ll go back!” She closed the box and left.

Empress Zhang was furious, but there was nothing she could do to her.

Such a stupid child only knew how to eat. Maybe she was overthinking.

When she returned to the courtyard, she would use the excuse of eating pastries to ask San Qi to send the stuff to He Dongzhi.

In the 8th month and 8th day of the 8th year of the West Province, the army of the West Province and Canglan had just left when Dongchong Ci’s tomb was excavated.

It was so big that it was more arrogant than the grave robbers. It was said that everything that could be moved was moved away, and everything that couldn’t be moved was destroyed. Even the bones and clothes of Dongchong Ci were moved away.

At the end of the month, the items from the coffins of Emperor Chang Ci appeared on the border.

Si Yao and the others were furious when they saw the items and the memorials written by the ministers. They were so angry that they fainted.

He Dongzizhi, you are so cunning. You are so cunning that you are willing to do anything!

He fainted when he saw the memorials.

Lan Lichui had ordered people to tie up Emperor Chang Ci’s bones and clothes on a shelf. He used a whip to beat the bones and clothes like he did to Princess Jin An.

Lan Lichui ordered people to burn Emperor Chang Ci’s ashes to make sure that he wouldn’t be able to rest in peace for the rest of his life.

The soldiers of the West Province were about to set off. He Dongzizhi brought Lan Lichui here.

Lan Lichui was still wearing the phoenix tail mask. He held Lan Qingqian in his arms. “Little Nine, you have to be well in the West Province. Don’t let anyone bully you. I’ll secretly see you on your birthday next year.”

Lan Qingqian puffed up her cheeks and reminded Lan Lichui seriously, “Ah Che, you should call me aunt. You can’t be wrong about the seniority.”

Gu Jun’an took Lan Qingqian from his arms. “And uncle.”

Lan Lichui was so angry!

He could only say, “Take good care of her! Uncle!”

He couldn’t help but call him uncle. He thought that if he could admit that he was his uncle, he would be able to take care of Little Nine.

He seemed to be the same as his father in this life. He didn’t have much ability. He hoped that Little Nine would meet someone capable enough to protect her and protect her from the storm.

He waved his hand and went on his horse. He didn’t turn back.

Gu Jun’an reminded He Dongzhi, “It’s better for you to go separately. Si Yao and the others won’t go over easily.”
