C35 (1/2)
”Sister, I heard that Father ordered you to move to the Royal Phoenix Restaurant?”
Yun Duan inserted the flower into the vase, glanced at the pale-faced road, and nodded slightly, ”Yes!”
”After all, you are the three princesses of the Myriad Empire Palace. Currently, you can be considered to be above thousands of people with esteemed status. It is inappropriate for you to live in the Xingyun Pavilion!”
The journey was done out of goodwill, and he had his own selfish motives. He was unable to protect himself in this world, so he could only place all his hopes on Yun Duan.
Yun Duan pursed his lips slightly and said mockingly, ”I know that you and I know that whether I respect you or not. Emperor Chen also knows that he has only been unable to find a better method. Otherwise, according to his hatred for me, he would have already cut me into a thousand pieces!”
However, no matter how powerful he is, he is still old. No matter how much power he has, the heavens will always punish him for all the evil he has done, and no matter how much you hate him, you must still not take the world as a joke! ”
Yun Duan blinked and laughed softly, ”How can it be so easy to obtain this world?” Do you think that Emperor Chen will willingly let go? ”
”…”
How could he let go of the person who tried to kill her? Both of them wanted to grab hold of each other's throat, both wanted to put the other to death. This kind of hatred had already congealed for more than three hundred years, there was no way to let the previous hatred go.
Besides, even if Emperor Chen let go of the throne and handed it to Yun Duan, the officials from the previous dynasty wouldn't respectfully call him 'Your Majesty'.
Right now, Yun Duan wasn't really that stubborn towards that position. In fact, she even had the thought of gloating over it. She wanted to see the Sunset Emperor unable to endure any longer, to see the empire he built over so many years vanish into nothingness with him.
Zhang Zian raised his eyes and glanced at the vase on top of the wooden cabinet next to the bed. The red plum blossomed proudly. Although it was beautiful, it would not bend.
The clouds had left at noon, Qiong Ying had left to say that her things had been packed, and the new palace had been cleaned up.
”Move!” Yun Duan stood in front of the Flowing Cloud Pavilion and looked towards the sky. Although the snow had stopped, it was not bright and clear. It was as if they wanted to continue.
”Mistress, do you want to go over first or wait for us to clean up before going over?” Jon asked the clouds softly, holding a stack of books.
Yun Duan did not look away. Her voice was calm as she said, ”You guys move out first. I'll go over shortly!”
”Alright!”
Qin Ni walked out with a vase. The bunch of red plums was still stuck in it.
Yun Duan waved at him, ”Hand it over. Give it to me!”
”This flower has been blooming for more than half a day, but it's already withered. If Master likes it, I'll send the guards to fold a few more branches!”
After a while, he threw the vase to the ground. The sound of porcelain hitting the ground was very loud, and broken glass flew everywhere.
”…”
”In the future, don't show me anything related to the Plum Blossom!”
Qin Ni looked at the shattered vase on the ground with some surprise. After she heard Yun Duan's words, she subconsciously nodded: ”Yes!”
Yun Duan waved his hand and said, ”Go and watch him. Don't let anything go wrong!”
”Yes sir!”
When she saw the broken vase on the ground, she was startled, then glanced at the distant clouds. She thought that some servant girl might have broken the vase by not holding it properly, so she took a big step towards the cloud and said, ”Master, don't be angry. I will tell someone to fold the vase onto a branch, and the vase will be made out of good glass!”
Yun Duan was slightly stunned. She looked at Qiong Ying and remembered that she was not there just now.
”No, I'll change it to something else when I'm picking flowers in the future. I don't like plum blossoms!”
Qiong Ying blinked and muttered, ”But Master seemed to like it so much this morning!”
”…”
”Have you ever heard of brittle steel, Joan?”
”I've heard of it before, but what does it have to do with plum blossoms?”
Yun Duan slightly curled her lips and did not speak.
Qiong Ying didn't dare to ask again after seeing this. She had already moved most of the things in the hall. Qin Ni asked her to come over and ask if her mistress could go over now.
”Mistress, the new palace is ready. You can go now!”
Yun Duan's face was a picture of desolation. She was not interested in moving to a new residence, but the people below seemed to be very happy. Even Qiong Ying had obviously shown her interest.
It was probably because after leaving this desolate place, the new hall's environment wasn't bad. It was natural for everyone to be happy.
”Let's go!”
Yun Zhi sat on the Jade Carriage, one hand on his head, feeling a little dizzy.
Qiong Ying followed beside them, and when she saw that the clouds were slightly closed, she told everyone to stand still.
There was wind blowing snow everywhere, cold and quiet. In a trance, the clouds seemed to see the white figure slowly descending from the tens of thousands of flowers. The figure had a clear and elegant face, with an indifferent expression on its face.
