Chapter 661 Step by step

When Shui Lian saw Chu Huan, he immediately smiled. He did not forget the generous Gong Fu. When he saw Xue Huaian and Chu Huan come in, he hurriedly came forward: "The family has heard that the two envoys have returned to the country, and they really want to congratulate you."

Although Shui Lian is just a eunuch, he is a person around His Majesty the Emperor. Even if Xue Huaian is the Minister of Rites, he dare not neglect. He bowed and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law." He said: "I wonder if I can pay homage to His Highness the Princess? Things have changed in Xiliang, and we still have to report to the Princess Xiang!"

Shui Lian was stunned and said anxiously: "What happened?"

Chu Huan was already laughing and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing!"

Shui Lian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Should you wait." He went there first, came back a while later, and whispered, "Sir, come with the miscellaneous family!"

Shui Lian led the two through the courtyard and came to a quiet courtyard. He went to the door and said respectfully: "Princess, Lord Xue Huaian and Xue and Duke Chu Huan and Chu Huan to see each other!"

A "hmm" sound came from the house, without saying much.

Shui Lian turned around and smiled, "If you have anything to do with the two adults, I will report here that it is not convenient to summon the princess for this matter."

Xue Huaian then prepared his clothes, stepped forward two steps, and said respectfully: "My name Xue Huaian reported to the princess that civil strife in Xiliang has been withdrawn. The eldest prince of Xiliang, Mahazang, is now the regent and dealing with the state affairs of Xiliang. I originally wanted to welcome the princess Xiliang, but Mahazang did not fulfill his promise. I am incompetent and could not welcome the princess Xiliang."

When Shui Lian heard this, he looked surprised.

Xue Huaian hurriedly said, "But although Princess Xiliang was unable to marry her, the soldiers of Xiliang have withdrawn from the northwest and lifted the threat from the people of Xiliang to the northwest of our Great Qin. Xiliang broke the contract first, so our Great Qin will not abide by the agreement. Your princess does not have to go to Xiliang."

A voice finally came from the house: "Really...really?" and a surprise in his tone.

Xue Huaian said: "That's true." He asked respectfully: "I will lead the envoy back to Beijing tomorrow. I wonder if His Royal Highness the Princess will return to Beijing tomorrow?"

"This..." A delicate voice came from the house: "Empress Shui is the mastermind."

Xue Huaian looked at Shui Lian, and Shui Lian hurriedly said, "If Your Princess really doesn't have to go to Xiliang, naturally the sooner you return to Beijing, the better. Lord Xue, I will prepare today. Tomorrow, your delegation will escort the princess back to Beijing."

Xue Huaian said respectfully: "Okay!"

Chu Huan looked at the faint door with a strange expression and suddenly asked, "The princess will set off tomorrow. Do we need to prepare something?"

Xue Huaian was a little surprised. If he really wanted to return to Beijing, what he needed to prepare. Shui Lian made free arrangements and there was no need to worry about Chu Huan.

However, he soon thought that Chu Huan had another identity, that was the Duke Fu, the Emperor's Majesty. It is said that Duke Fu Chu and Princess Jingyun have a good relationship. It is reasonable for the master to care about his disciples a little.

The princess said in the house: "Then...that's all done by Eunuch Shui..."

Chu Huan smiled, and Xue Huaian had already bowed into the room and said, "I dare not disturb the princess too much, let's take it back first!" At that moment, Shuili led Chu Huan out of the yard.

"The princess has been here for more than half a month, and she is still used to everything?" Chu Huan asked Shui Lian with a smile.

Shui Lian smiled and said, "It's naturally worse than the capital, but the old general takes good care of this place, so the princess has no discomfort."

"Yes, Eunuch Shui, when I left Beijing, I saw the princess for the last time. The princess's hand twisted. I wonder if it had recovered?" Chu Huan asked.

"Oh?" Shui Lian was stunned and soon smiled: "That has recovered and healed, and it is not a big deal. Duke Chu is really determined."

Chu Huan smiled and nodded, suddenly seemed to think of something, stopped and slapped his head: "Look at my mind, I'm really confused. I have a gift to give to His Highness the Princess. His Highness must like it very much. Master Shui, I wonder if I can give the gift to the Princess?"

Shui Lian smiled and said, "Mr. Gongfu can hand over the gift to the Zajia, and the Zajia will definitely transfer it to His Royal Highness the Princess on his behalf."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Chun actually prepared the gift from Eunuch Shui, but when he left the capital, I promised His Highness the Princess to bring her back, and I will definitely give it to her with my own hands... Father-in-law, you can't let me break my trust in the princess!"

Shui Lian frowned, showing a hint of embarrassment.

Xue Huaian just thought it was a private matter. He also knew that Chu Huan had brought a lot of things back from Xiliang, including the princess' gift, which was reasonable. He smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, if you have a gift, I'll go out and wait for you first." He was unwilling to get involved, so he bowed to Shui Lian and left quickly.

Seeing that Shui Lian didn't say anything, Chu Huan had turned around and walked quickly towards the princess's yard. Wind was coming from his feet. When Shui Lian reacted, Chu Huan had already opened a distance.

Shui Lian's face changed color and he hurriedly chased after him, but Chu Huan seemed to be walking, but he was extremely fast. Shui Lian couldn't catch up with him, and said repeatedly: "Duke Chu, Lord Chu, wait a moment, princess... the princess has made an order, but she doesn't see anyone...!"

Chu Huan ignored him and waited until he entered the yard and came to the house. Chu Huan stopped, while Shui Lian panted and caught up, bent over, and gasped: "Chu... Lord Chu, you are not walking... The princess is inside, you can't do anything. If you hit the princess, it's not easy for the family to talk to you."

Chu Huan smiled, looked at Shui Lian, and asked, "Old Master Shui naturally remembers that the emperor appointed me as Gongfu?"

"This...this is of course remembered!"

"The Lord ordered me to teach the princess's martial arts well." Chu Huan's face did not change, with a light smile: "Although I was on a mission to Xiliang, I have not forgotten the progress of the princess' martial arts. Today I happened to have a gift for the princess, and I asked how the princess practiced martial arts. Eunuch Shui, this should be reasonable and will not make you too embarrassed, right?"

Shui Lian smiled awkwardly and said, "Why should Duke Chu be anxious for a moment? Let's ask after returning to Beijing..."

"Eunuch Shui..." Chu Huan carried his hands on his back, stretched his voice, looked around, then approached Shui Lian's ear, and looked calm: "Princess...is really in this room?"

Shui Lian was stunned, suddenly lost his color, and said in a lost voice: "Chu... Chu Gongfu, what do you mean?"

"Don't father-in-law understand what I mean?" Chu Huan frowned and said coldly: "Chu thought that the person who spoke in this room was not Princess Jingyun!"

Shui Lian took two steps back and showed a look of horror in his eyes.

Chu Huan, however, had already walked into the house without saying a word. Shui Lian hurriedly shouted: "Chu... Duke Chu, don't do anything wrong. If you offend the princess, you want to... chop your head!"

"Do you know that you are not able to protect the princess well and you will lose your head!" Chu Huan turned around and said coldly. He had arrived in front of the door at this time, so he was about to push the door in. Shui Lian raised his hand and said, "Master Chu, wait a moment, you... wait a moment!"

Chu Huan had already pressed one hand on the door and opened it with a push, but he slowly withdrew his hand. Shui Lian came forward and looked around, then smiled bitterly: "Why did Gongfu assert that it was not a princess in the room?"

"The sound inside is indeed very similar to the princess, but the tone is completely different." Chu Huan said: "The princess's tone is not like this, and... Master Shui, the princess has always called you by her name, and it seems that she has never called you Master Shui, right?"

Shui Lian was stunned and then realized that Chu Huan determined from this that the person in the house was not a princess.

After Chu Huan said this, he had already pushed the door open. After he entered the house, he saw a person in the house screaming, quickly pulled over a pair of headscarf beside him, turned his back, and covered his head in a hurry.

Chu Huan looked from behind and saw that the girl's back inside was really similar to Princess Jingyun, but he was very familiar with Jingyun. If it were ordinary people, they might not be able to see it all at once. However, Chu Huan had already judged from the girl's back that this was definitely not Princess Jingyun.

Shui Lian had already closed the door, walked up to Chu Huan, and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Gong Fu, this matter is extraordinary and must not be disclosed."

"You lost the princess?"

"This... how is this possible?" Shui Lian hurriedly said: "The princess who was escorted from the capital by the Za family."

Chu Huan walked slowly over and arrived next to the girl. The girl was already shaking all over and seemed extremely nervous. Chu Huan sighed and said, "Take off the turban, I know you are not a princess, and you don't have to be afraid."

Shui Lian walked over and whispered: "Take it down, this is Duke Chu!"

The girl took off the turban with her trembling hands, with her beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her eyebrows were a little similar to Princess Jingyun. However, this beautiful face was pale at this time. When she saw Chu Huan staring at her, she lowered her head and dared not look at Chu Huan.

"Brother-in-law, are you going to marry her to Xiliang?" Chu Huan frowned.

Shui Lian sighed: "Mr. Gongfu, according to the original plan, she was indeed marrying to Xiliang instead of the princess."

"What's your name?" Chu Huan asked the nervous little girl.

"I... my name is Bubu... they all called me Bubu...!" The fake princess Chuchu said pitifully: "They said that when I walked, my steps were very small, one small step at a time, so... they all called me Bubu!"

"By-by-step?" Chu Huan frowned, looked at Shui Lian, and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Shui, what's going on? Could it be... Could it be that the court is going to send the fake princess to Xiliang?"

Shui Lian smiled bitterly and said, "If it were not forbidden, how could the emperor betrayed others?" He lowered his voice and said, "Duke Chu, Princess Jingyun has disappeared. After your delegation left the capital, Princess Jingyun's whereabouts will be unknown in just about ten days...!"

Chu Huan's heart sank and said in a lost voice: "Princess... the princess is missing? How is this... this possible?"

"It's true." Shui Lian pulled Chu Huan's arm and walked aside: "You can only know this matter, and you must not be revealed. After the princess disappeared, the emperor secretly sent someone to search and used the Divine Instrument Guard. The Divine Instrument Guard almost went out of the nest, searching everywhere, but there was no princess' whereabouts. Princess... the princess flew out of the imperial city like a bird, and her whereabouts were unknown!"
