Heaven Scheme Palace

"Mother, Dan Feng, I'm fine." Yao Dan Qing smiled and held her mother's hand.

"This is more like my Yao Family's daughter. You better be at ease, even if Duan Shao cancels the marriage, your father will look for a better marriage for you. " The Shen's eyes were filled with confidence and elites, "This, another person came to propose early in the morning."

"Who is it?" Yao Dan Qing was slightly surprised. She, who had her marriage annulled last night, yet someone had come to propose marriage so quickly?

"Wouldn't it be fine if I just went to take a look?" His mother smiled mysteriously.

Yao Dan Qing's eyes moved, she ran out of the house and headed towards the main hall.

When she arrived at the main hall, instead of entering through the main entrance, she went through a side door. A large plum blossom screen separated the main hall from the side hall.

"As long as General Yao is willing to support Lord Chu, wouldn't that be perfect?" The voice was gentle like jade, and it seemed to have a hint of sharpness.

"I will not sell my master for honor."

"But last night, Duan Shao publicly annulled the engagement, how could he put your General Yao in his eyes? If he dares to do it, it means he has the Crown Prince supporting him. "

Yao Cong Xing laughed coldly: "Even if I were to become an abandoned pawn of the Crown Prince, I will not turn to Lord Chu and give up my life's happiness for Dan Qing."

"How do you know that marrying a daughter will ruin my life?" he asked.

"You don't need to say anymore. Although my Yao Family's face was completely disgraced last night, we shouldn't casually find someone to marry." Yao Cong Xing waved his sleeves, "Ah Fu, send our guest off."

Yao Dan Qing stood behind the screen, only seeing a slender figure turn around, and looking towards the screen she paused for a moment.

She met those eyes that had discovered her, her hand tightly gripping the hem of her clothes. In the end, she released him the moment he turned to leave, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips as she walked out from behind the screen.

Yao Cong Xing looked at Yao Dan Qing who had walked out soundlessly, and let out a long sigh: "You heard it all."

"Yes."

"Father understands, Lord Chu only wanted to use last night's matter to stir up my relationship with Crown Prince. Today, he left my Yao Mansion and very quickly spread the news to Crown Prince, from now on, Crown Prince will no longer trust me."

"Then why didn't Father vote for Lord Chu?"

"Your father has always insisted on not serving a servant, not to mention using your lifetime's happiness?" Yao Cong Xing laughed softly as he looked deeply at his most beloved daughter. In this lifetime, he had spent all his heart and blood to nurture her, so how could he push his daughter out just for a single selfish desire? How would the entire imperial government and the common people of the world view him?

Yao Dan Qing blurted out, "What if I say it?"

Yao Cong Xing was startled for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "What did you say?"

Yao Dan Qing opened her mouth, only to see her father's gray temples, the wrinkles on her eyes getting deeper and deeper, she suddenly realised that her father was already old, she had finally swallowed the words that had been buried in her heart for a long time, and said: "Daughter understands."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Yao Cong Xing to speak, she turned around and was about to leave, but instead stopped outside the hall, looking up at the sky.

The sound of horse hooves was exceptionally clear in the quiet night. When they reached the entrance of the Capital City, the driver took out a badge from his waist and shouted, "Open the city gates. Lord Grand Commandant has returned.

Upon hearing that it was the Lord Grand Commandant, the man was shocked, thinking to himself, Lord Grand Commandant was sent to the northwest overseer a while back. The war had not ended, why did he return to the capital without permission? Thinking up to here, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and went up to welcome them with a fawning face: "I wonder why Lord Grand Commandant would suddenly return to the imperial city?"

However, the driver's face was ice-cold and his killing intent was oppressing. "Sir, do you really need to report this to a dog slave when you return? Get out of the way! "

After he finished speaking, he waved his whip and left in the carriage. It was as if there was something extremely urgent as he rushed towards the deep night.

The city guard spat and muttered, "You despicable bastard! All you can do is to be complacent for a few years, and when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, your anger will come to an end. "

The carriage did not stop for a moment, but instead rushed straight to the Grand Commandant Palace, and even more so, to the Imperial City.

"Master, something happened to General's Estate!" The driver saw the fire from afar and warned, but there was no sound coming from the carriage.

When the carriage approached, a large half of the General's Estate was burned, all the soldiers around went to fight the fire, the spectators grew more and more, and all of them started to whisper: "It has been a bad year for the Great General, the day of my daughter's marriage was annulled, and in a few days time, there was another fire, it seems like the General's Estate has run out of energy …."

"Jiang Che, go and check the situation." A gentle voice sounded from within the carriage, and it contained a sense of coldness and hardness.

Hearing that, Jiang Che did not dare hesitate, and immediately went up to find the officer and commander. Upon seeing that the person was from the Grand Commandant Palace, he did not dare delay, and immediately went to the side of the carriage, and greeted respectfully: "This lowly one greets the Lord Grand Commandant."

Jiang Che did not waste any time with words, and only said: "What happened to General's Estate, please let me know in detail."

When I rushed to General's Estate, it was already a sea of fire. I sent a few men to check on the flames and found out that more than a hundred people had been killed inside the General's Estate. The commander told him the truth. Suddenly, he thought of something and immediately said: "That's right, this subordinate managed to save a lady who still has some Qi in the sea of fire. From her attire, she should be the daughter of the General's Estate."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and under the blazing light, a handsome face flashed as his sharp eyes followed the direction the commander was pointing at.

He saw a purple-clothed girl who had fainted and lay quietly on the ground. Her face was covered in the ashen soil that had been smoked, but her face could still be seen.

"It wasn't her." Lord Grand Commandant's gaze dimmed, he retracted his hand and retracted the curtain.

"This lowly subordinate has reported the situation here to Emperor, I wonder who dares to make a move on General's Estate, it is truly like eating a bear heart leopard's guts. This General Yao is a family of generals, their guard skills are not weak, how could they be annihilated without anyone knowing? The commander continued to speak, but the people in the carriage acted as if they hadn't heard him at all. They only calmly said, "Take her away."

Jiang Che naturally understood, and immediately carried the unconscious woman up, and walked towards the carriage with large strides.

The commander saw the situation and immediately said: "This is the only survivor of General's Estate, Master, you cannot take her away without permission, otherwise, I will not be able to report this to Emperor."

"You can report to Emperor. If he wants me, he can come find me, Lv Wen Hao."
