Chapter 143.2 – Extra Chapter 2

The Little Emperor was feeling a bit regretful inside. He knew he should’ve passed around the letter, so other people would help stop Qi Yang from leaving.

 

But on second thought, he himself was trembling when faced with his fuming aunt. The other people in the palace… probably wouldn’t be able to stop her, right?

 

As soon as the gears in his head started turning, his thoughts started drifting away. In the end, Qi Yang reached out and lightly tapped the royal desk twice, pulling the distracted Little Emperor back to his senses. He coughed lightly, withdrew his gaze, and tried reasoning with his aunt. “Aunt, you see, the court has been fine the past two months, and the officials have gradually stopped bothering your mansion. Retreating to your fiefdom… is it really necessary?”

 

Women were unreasonable creatures, and royal princesses were even more so. Hearing this, Qi Yang didn’t answer the Little Emperor’s words at all. Her pretty willowy brows frowned slightly as she said, “Ah Qi, I told you three years ago that I wanted to leave, and you didn’t object back then.”

 

This was reasonable, but the Little Emperor had a bitter look after he heard it – three years ago, he didn’t exactly agree. At that time, he just ascended the throne, and he was in a complete daze for a long time, almost fully relying on his aunt’s help to stabilize the situation. He didn’t dare to refute anything that Qi Yang said – there was both trust and fear, and he didn’t want to offend her.

 

For the past three years, Qi Yang did her best wholeheartedly, and the Little Emperor of course noticed it. Amidst the wind and rain, she supported him to secure his throne firmly, and the Little Emperor naturally became closer to his aunt. But who knew that while he was reluctant to part with her, his cruel aunt didn’t have the slightest bit of nostalgia or hesitation!

 

Unable to say anything, the Little Emperor simply bowed his head and remained silent, not feeling that he had done anything wrong.

 

Qi Yang also knew that all these tricks the Little Emperor pulled was because he couldn’t bear to part with her. Seeing him like this made her heart feel a little soft, but this little bit of soft-heartedness didn’t hinder the part of her heart that wanted to fly away.

 

Hence, after a moment of silence between them, Qi Yang still took out the eight memorial she that had just written out of her sleeves, and handed it to the Little Emperor. “Your Majesty, please give me your approval.”

 

The Little Emperor’s face scrounged up, and he didn’t answer the memorial. He looked at Qi Yang and said in a sad tone, “Aunt, can’t you stay?”

 

Qi Yang looked away, and finally told the truth, “Ah Qi, it’s best for you to let me go. With your royal power now stable, I don’t want to stay in the capital for long. Even my Prince Consort has resigned, wouldn’t it be fine to let us live a few years in freedom?”

 

In fact, the Little Emperor was really fooled by Qi Yang’s high-sounding excuses at the start, and was filled with guilt towards his aunt and uncle. But as Qi Yang couldn’t wait to express her intention, the Little Emperor who wasn’t stupid also returned to his sense – she just wanted to leave, to tour the mountains and play in the rivers, to enjoy the boundless world. It wasn’t for his sake at all!

 

After he figured it out, the Little Emperor was deeply shocked, and still refused to believe it inside. But now, Qi Yang had said it herself, there was no need to mention how aggrieved he was. The young Emperor whose majesty was growing day by day showed a face full of grievance, but it was as if Qi Yang didn’t see it.

 

Now that things had been made clear, there really was nothing left to say. In a fit of anger, the Little Emperor snatched the memorial and approved it.

 

Qi Yang sincerely gave him a few words of comfort, and when she turned around and left the palace with the approved memorial, her footsteps were light and energetic.

 

Afterwards, the Little Emperor regretted it a bit after thinking about it again. But before he could come up with an excuse, Qi Yang who had returned to the mansion already couldn’t wait to tell everyone to pack up and get ready to move!

 

Lu Qipei was not surprised by the result, and smiled as she handed her a cup of herbal tea, saying, “Your Highness, you’ve worked hard.”

 

Qi Yang’s wish was fulfilled, and she also calmed down. She obediently took the herbal tea and drank it – she didn’t know what was added to it, but it tasted a bit sweet. After drinking it, Qi Yang looked at the scorching sun outside and sighed, “I returned the power in Spring, thinking that the weather would be warm, just in time for our journey. Unexpectedly, it’s still delayed until summer, and walking outside in this weather would really be…”

 

Lu Qipei didn’t take it seriously, and took the empty cup from Qi Yang as she asked with a smile. “Does Your Highness mean to wait a little longer? The weather would be less hot in Autumn. Anyways, we’ve waited for several years, it wouldn’t be a problem to wait a few more months.”

 

She spoke like she was sincere, but how could Qi Yang not catch her underlying meaning? She immediately waved her hand and said, “Forget it, I can’t wait. I can’t wait until Ah Qi regains his composure, we’re leaving!” She never knew that boys could also be so clingy!

 

Satisfied with her answer, Lu Qipei turned around to put aside the tea cup when she heard Qi Yang muttering again, “No, it would take too much time to pack up. Let’s go back and let the butler slowly catch up with the luggage.”

 

Hearing her say this, Lu Qipei turned around with a smile, saying, “Your Highness, don’t worry. All your belongings have been packed, we can set off tomorrow.”

 

Hearing this, Qi Yang suddenly reached her hand out and hooked it around Lu Qipei’s neck, saying, “Haven’t you already calculated this too well?”

 

Lu Qipei smiled with curved brows and a graceful demeanor. “Isn’t that good?”

 

Qi Yang hooked her neck and pulled her over, giving her a kiss and saying, “It’s pretty good.”
