The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 199 1 Journey to the West

After Qi Siyuan gradually calmed down and regained her spirits.

Leng Xinmo then asked softly what her next plans were.

If she wants to return to Fengyao, I will arrange for someone to escort her safely.

In addition, he has Qi Shi, a powerful and loyal guard, by his side.

There is no need to worry about safety issues.

But if she still insists on going to the Western Territory, then she can go with Leng Xinmo.

In fact, this was also what Qi Shi conveyed from Qi Tianchen.

Qi Siyuan thought about it carefully for about half an hour.

Finally, he made up his mind and continued to rush towards the distant western border.

However, at this moment, Leng Xinmo suddenly asked, "Are you still going there for Gu Jingxuan?"

Qi Siyuan nodded first, then shook her head gently.

She said slowly: “At first, I was indeed thinking about Brother Gu.

Worried about him, I couldn't wait to go to the West to find him.

But since I stepped out of the house, I was surprised to find that the world outside is so vast!

It turns out that the Qianyao Empire is already so vast and boundless.

And on this vast continent, there are many countries such as Xiqi, Dongchu, Guyue, etc.

Even the nomadic peoples in the north are among them!

I have only occasionally seen these recorded in books.”

Leng Xinmo told her that the territory of this continent was far larger than she had imagined, and its mysteries were by no means limited to this.

The land of Xiqi is vast and boundless, and it seems that there is no end to the west.

Dong Chu stretches eastwards, seemingly never reaching the border.

The Gu Yue Kingdom in the south has been divided into three small countries.

But, if we continue to move south, what kind of scenery will we see?

And then there are the nomadic peoples in the north.

They live on the vast grassland. So where does the end of this grassland lead to?

At this moment, a strong impulse surged in her heart.

I long to embark on a journey and experience this colorful world for myself.

Whether it is traveling to the mysterious West or exploring other unknown areas, she yearns for it.

For more than ten years since she was born, she has never been away from her hometown.

However, now that I have taken this step, I don’t want to look back for the time being.

Leng Xinmo nodded silently, expressing his respect and support for Qi Siyuan's decision.

Qi Shi also followed Qi Tianchen's previous instructions and wrote a letter home, reporting the young lady's decision in detail.

At the same time, he also wrote about his chance encounter with Princess Mingnuo in the letter and then sent it back to Fengyao City.

When Qi Tianchen received Qi Shi's letter, he couldn't help but feel very surprised.

But he was more secretly thankful that his sister got Mingnuo's help in the critical moment.

He knew very well that this journey was of great significance to Qi Siyuan, and perhaps it was an opportunity for growth and experience.

So Qi Tianchen silently blessed his sister far away, hoping that she could get what she wanted and have a fruitful harvest.

As for Mingnuo, Qi Tianchen heard that Mingnuo might have died in the fire in the imperial palace.

He was in great pain, but at the same time, deep in his heart, he inexplicably felt something strange.

So, without hesitation, he sent his men to investigate.

But unfortunately, the Prince Qi's Mansion was short of connections at this time, and the power it held was not as strong as before.

After a lot of effort, I still couldn't find out the reason.

However, not long after, someone from Prince Sheng's Palace suddenly sent a message:

The princess did not die, she just disappeared mysteriously.

After hearing the news, Qi Tianchen's heart finally settled down.

But at the same time, a strong curiosity surged in my heart...Where did she go?

Now it seems that everything has become clear.

I guess Mingnuo escaped from the palace fire by luck.

He did not show up immediately, but quietly went to the western border to look for Prince Sheng.

At this time, news began to spread inside and outside the palace that Prince Sheng was going to marry Princess Liuyang.

In this way, Qi Tianchen completely understood why Mingnuo chose to go to the Western Border at this time.

Thinking of this, his originally tense nerves gradually relaxed and he was no longer as worried as before.

He knew very well in his heart that whether it was Mingnuo or Prince Sheng.

They will never easily obey the arrangements and manipulation of others.

After a while, Qi Tianchen finally replied.

However, this letter was written to Leng Xinmo.

The content of the letter first told Leng Xinmo about a series of events that had happened in Fengyao recently.

For example, the big shot in the palace has publicly announced that a big fire has occurred in Guangmen Palace.

The cause of the fire was simply that a palace maid accidentally knocked over a candlestick.

However, puzzlingly, the sun had not yet completely set.

In a place like Guangmen Palace, which is like a cold palace, how could anyone light candles in advance?

However, this question was not further investigated. After all, the emperor said that the fire was caused by the candlestick being knocked over.

Then that is the truth!

As for when to light the candles, that was entirely up to the emperor.

Who dares to question or refute this?

But the final outcome was tragic.

Concubine Zhou and the maid beside her all died in the raging fire.

What is even more unexpected is the death of Concubine Zhou.

Emperor Qianyao did not order an investigation into the truth, but instead issued an imperial decree.

Concubine Zhou has been in the palace for many years and has been serving the emperor. Unexpectedly, she encountered an unexpected disaster today.

The emperor, mindful of their old friendship, decided to restore her title of Concubine Lan and granted her a funeral worthy of a concubine.

As a result, Emperor Qianyao seemed to no longer have the intention to pursue Zhou Shutong's mistakes.

Of course, this also means that there is no possibility for Zhou Shutong to return to the harem.

And that was Princess Mingnuo, who had gone to Guangmen Palace to visit Concubine Zhou.

They disappeared in the raging fire.

For a time, the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine in the palace, Emperor Qianyao, and even Prince Sheng’s Mansion, Princess’ Mansion and other forces were all extremely anxious.

They launched a full-scale search operation to find the whereabouts of Princess Mingnuo.

Not only that, there is also the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, which is on good terms with Princess Mingnuo, and the Taifu Mansion, which has benefited from her favor.

They also tried their best to find clues, and even the Crown Princess begged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help search everywhere.

But as of now, there is still no news.

Princess Mingnuo appeared mysteriously in Fengyao just as she did at that time.

Once again, quietly, he disappeared in front of everyone.

Everyone was worried and hoped to find her as soon as possible.

Secondly, he begged Leng Xinmo to help look after his younger sister, Qi Siyuan.
