C73 Lan Qingqian Was His Biggest Calamity in His Life!

She was the daughter of Emperor Xiao Ren who was fifty-four years old. He had a daughter and the last child. That was why Emperor Xiao Ren doted on his daughter. He even gave her a title that even the crown prince couldn’t have. The palace maids and servants who served her were treated better than the concubines.

He had been to Canglan Kingdom and talked to Emperor Xiao Ren. Emperor Xiao Ren’s eyes were filled with joy and he praised his daughter. He said that she was clever and cute. He didn’t know who would have such luck in the future to be blessed by the heavens.

This was Emperor Xiao Ren’s precious daughter. She might not be the most precious thing in the world. When a tree falls, the monkeys will scatter. Now that Emperor Xiao Ren was dead, there were only a few people who were nice to her.

After all, the new emperor was Emperor Xiao Ren’s grandson. The difference in age was huge. If the new emperor was like the empress dowager who didn’t like this auntie, he might have tried to suck up to her in the past.

Now that he had the power, he was the mother and son. How nice could he be to her?

Gu Jun’an thought for a while and diverted her attention. “When I came back, I heard that there was a red koi in the Fifth Prince’s mansion. It was even longer than your arm. It was said that it was a carp that had become a spirit. Do you want to go and have a look?”

Lan Qingqian raised her head and asked with tears, “Did the carp become a spirit?” The book said that animals that lived for thousands of years would become demons. They were like humans, but they were powerful.

“Maybe!” Gu Jun’an lied to her.

Lan Qingqian thought for a second and nodded, “Yeah.” She was still a kid after all. She was crying a second ago, but she could still play heartlessly a second later.

Gu Jun’an brought her back after dinner.

Lan Qingqian jumped in and heard San Qi say, “Your Highness, a mysterious person wants to see His Highness!” Her eyes were a bit complicated.

Gu Jun’an looked at her, “Tea, bring Little Nine to wash her hands before you bring her here.”

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know. This person seems to be from Canglan. He’s injured. The emperor said he was sent here by the emperor of Canglan to deliver something.”

In the end, Gu Jun’an let Lan Qingqian come over.

The man in black touched the wound on his body and nodded, “Thank you, Your Highness, for saving her.”

Gu Jun’an said, “I’m only doing this for that poor little thing. I don’t care if you die or not.” His words were cold and direct. The man in black didn’t know how to respond.

Lan Qingqian came in and saw a stranger. She looked at him warily and quietly went to stand next to Gu Jun’an.

This move made Gu Jun’an very happy. It meant that in the little thing’s eyes, he was the most trustworthy.

Gu Jun’an touched her head and said, “The emperor of Canglan asked her to deliver something.”

The man in black took out a small box from his chest with difficulty. Lan Qingqian looked at Gu Jun’an. Gu Jun’an nodded and agreed before she went to take it.

She opened the box and looked at what was inside. It was obviously a gift from the Emperor’s nephew! She knew that the Emperor’s nephew would never forget her.

Gu Jun’an looked at the grasshopper made of leaves and felt disgusted. He thought that it was a rare treasure and that it was worth to send it to her in secret.

However, the little girl was fond of it and kept looking at it.

Gu Jun’an felt jealous. “How do you know that it was made by him? Maybe someone else tricked you?”

Lan Qingqian didn’t notice his tone and explained seriously, “This grasshopper is Little Six. He doesn’t have a right leg. Little Five doesn’t have a left leg. Little Two doesn’t have a left antenna!” This was a secret between her and the Emperor’s nephew. Only she knew about it.

The man in black was happy when he heard this. “Our Emperor said that as long as the princess sees it, she will recognize it. When our Emperor wins the war and controls the power, he will come and pick the princess up.”

“Okay!” Lan Qingqian was happy.

San Qi was confused. Was it really a gift from a thousand miles away?

The man in black took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Gu Jun’an. “Seventh Prince, our Emperor said that this is something that Xiao Ren left for the princess. The princess is still young so we will keep it for you. When the princess is older, we will give it to her.”
