Before she could speak, Si Fengwu said from the side, "After the coronation ceremony, I will sign an agreement with the Hall of Reincarnation in conjunction with my imperial brother.
It will state that unless the Hall of Reincarnation actively offends the interests of Da Qin and the Tianfeng dynasty, the two countries will never actively be enemies with the Hall of Reincarnation.
This agreement will be permanently valid, and future generations, unless they wish to betray their ancestors, shall not violate it."
Feng Ziyi had previously requested the two of them to help the Hall of Reincarnation train an army, and Si Fengwu had sent people to help with the training.
During this process, although the Hall Master Liu Xunran did not show her face, she did not step in to stop it. She even provided much military equipment that was not in the original training plans.
This could only mean that Liu Xunran was also worried about the possibility of the Hall of Reincarnation being at a disadvantage if it were to clash with the regular army of a court one day.
Although Si Fengwu only said a few words, as long as his words could be fulfilled, it would resolve two major worries for Liu Xunran.
Moreover, they all understood that given Si Fengwu's status, this promise was entirely fulfillable.
Liu Xunran tugged at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this, "You are quite well-prepared. Then I will respectfully accept."
He rubbed Xiao Yuan'er's head with his large hand and put away all the items that Lu Qingwan had returned. He directly asked them to leave, "I have accepted the items, you may go now."
This was the first time Lu Qingwan and Si Fengwu had been asked to leave, but they were not surprised. They each took one of Xiao Yuan'er's hands and walked away.
As they were about to leave the room, Lu Qingwan suddenly turned around and asked, "If I were the real Lu Qingwan, when Liu Hanyan repeatedly tried to take my life, would you have ever sided with me?"
Liu Xunran suddenly jumped up and stammered for a moment, but ultimately could not say anything.
Lu Qingwan pulled at the corner of her mouth, "I understand. Pretend I didn't ask.
Thank you for your care over the years.
I will clean up Nangong Che and his sons for you.
My only request is to have no contact with her for the rest of my life."
She said this, her eyes locked with Liu Xunran's for a long time, then she turned and left without any lingering attachment.
Upon exiting the West River Moon, Si Fengwu said nothing. He simply took Xiao Yuan'er's hand, put his arm around Lu Qingwan, and mounted the carriage, heading straight for the new capital.
That night, Xiao Yuan'er, tired from a day of ups and downs, fell asleep once he calmed down.
Seeing this, Si Fengwu silently extended his arms to Lu Qingwan, "Come here, husband will hug you."
Lu Qingwan playfully hit him, but still snuggled into his embrace as instructed.
"Everything has settled, why did you still expose them?"
Lu Qingwan grinned mischievously, "Using me as a shield, protecting her own daughter like some naive little princess.
And still trying to hide everything from me, continuing to expect me to work for them. How can there be such a cheap thing in this world?
I owe the Hall of Reincarnation gratitude, and for Xiao Yuan'er's sake, I am willing to maintain peace with them, but they cannot treat me like a fool.
I just want them to know that I, Lu Qingwan, do not owe them anything. If they play any more tricks, no one will have an easy time!"
Si Fengwu, heartbroken, held Lu Qingwan tightly and repeatedly kissed her eyelids. "My A'wan is the best, worthy of being unique in this world, not a substitute or a shadow for anyone.
Don't worry, there will be no second Lu Qingwan in this world, but Liu Hanyan's most beloved daughter will be exposed to everyone's eyes.
At that time, whether she can still be that innocent little princess will depend on whether her good mother and good maternal grandfather can continue to protect her."
That's right. The information that the transmigrator Lu Qingwan personally killed and provided to Lu Qingwan was not only about her past life but also about her present life.
From the moment she transmigrated, Liu Hanyan knew that this Lu Qingwan was not the original Lu Qingwan. In fact, she had already found the real Lu Qingwan.
However, because the identity of Lu Qingwan faced too much pressure and danger, neither of them revealed it.
They made Lu Qingwan bear all the pressure and risks that the original Lu Qingwan should have borne, and even expected her to be grateful to them.
Even when Feng Ziyi asked Lu Qingwan to forgive Liu Hanyan and Nangong Che for their actions, Lu Qingwan was still thinking about how to spare their lives.
And while she was risking her life with the people on the Illusion Night Island, the real Lu Qingwan was watching the show with Liu Xunran from not far away.
Liu Xunran and Liu Hanyan protected the real Lu Qingwan very well. She didn't even know what the other person looked like, yet she had endured all the disasters on her behalf.
The source of all this was simply Liu Hanyan's desire to have her own daughter while also having a capable, free laborer to help her deal with Nangong Che, who had betrayed her.
Lu Qingwan's appearance was just too coincidental.
Without any choice, Lu Qingwan became the tool they chose to punish Nangong Che.
Lu Qingwan calmly shook her head, "I'm fine. This outcome actually makes me feel a little better.
It's you, though. Knowing their intentions were impure, why did you still promise them such things?"
Although the interpretation of the clause "do not proactively offend the Hall of Reincarnation" could be attributed entirely to the Tianfeng and Da Qin dynasties, the thought of Liu Xunran deceiving her for so long made her unwilling to even offer him verbal comfort.
Si Fengwu chuckled, "And you? Knowing they were deceiving you, why didn't you turn against them and return so many treasures?"
"Liu Hanyan is disgusting, and Liu Xunran is indecisive, but the Hall of Reincarnation is valuable!"
Lu Qingwan smiled cunningly, "Since I've already suffered such a loss, can't I at least get some justice?
While my identity as the Saintess hasn't been exposed yet, now is the time to use their influence to suppress Southern Qi, so why wait?"
Southern Qi and the Tujue were the two biggest obstacles in the founding history of Tianfeng, especially Southern Qi, which had been causing trouble in the dark since Si Fengwu attacked a part of the Three Kingdoms in the southeast.
She still remembered that incredibly foolish Prince of Southern Yuan, Ming Wuya!
Liu Hanyan, in order to protect her daughter, had not told her that Nangong Che was a fake Saintess.
Therefore, no matter how much trouble Lu Qingwan caused Nangong Che, the latter would still attribute it to the Hall of Reincarnation.
As for who would win or lose in the end, he didn't care.
Lu Qingwan asked Si Fengwu with a sly smile, "And you? Why did you make such a promise out of the blue?"
The so-called non-aggression agreement, although the final interpretation of the agreement belonged to the two imperial courts, such a promise could not be made lightly.
Si Fengwu nodded at Xiao Yuan'er's forehead across the distance, "Isn't it all for this little one?
Looking at the Hall of Reincarnation, it won't collapse anytime soon, and it might cause trouble during his reign as emperor.
I don't know how capable this boy will be in the future, but we must ensure that the Hall of Reincarnation does not strike first and catch this boy off guard, right?"
