221~ Chicken Soup Is Here~!
"You guarantee everything you said is completely true?"
"In reply to Your Highness, I guarantee that every single word is the truth, without any fabrication or intention to deceive you."
"Very good. Then I understand. Go back to whatever you should be doing. I'll handle this matter properly."
The parasites in the royal family, it's time for another Great Purge!
Last time, she'd purged the foreign forces that had infiltrated the royal family. This time, it was cleaning up the other princes and princesses.
"Your Highness Mo..."
"I'm fine. Let's continue on our way. The sooner we arrive at Glaze Nation, the sooner we finish, and the sooner I can rest for a while."
"..."
Xiyan didn't know how to comfort the little Princess.
She'd also heard everything that Luminous Moon Merchant Association's leader had just said.
The King of Glaze Nation's power had already been hollowed out as early as two months ago? He'd been placed under house arrest...
Then who had been writing back to the little Princess during this time?
Fortunately, before deploying the army, the little Princess hadn't had the Empress notify Glaze Nation that she was returning. Otherwise, the King would probably have been forced to act like nothing was wrong when facing the little Princess, right?
The fact that the little Princess's face currently showed no expression didn't mean her heart wasn't turbulent...
"Master Mo..."
Apparently having already sensed the little Princess's low spirits, Xiao Bai, for once without the little Princess's orders, obediently sat to the side, constantly nuzzling the little Princess with her head, trying to make the little Princess slightly happier.
"I'm fine."
I'm fine...
The little Princess said calmly, but her face was already full of cold gloom.
She truly hadn't imagined at all that after she personally killed the First Prince, there would still be people who dared to covet the throne and act against that cheap Father the King of hers.
Although that cheap Father the King of hers wasn't in any life-threatening danger this time, he'd been cursed.
No matter who the mastermind behind the scenes was, she would personally kill them!
"Have the army speed up. Stop for reorganization before reaching Glaze Nation's border."
"Okay."
...
...
"Your Majesty, is it really alright to let Her Highness Mo handle it alone?"
"What's wrong with it? Some things can only be done by oneself. If I intervene, the nature will be different."
Only the little Princess, as the First Princess of Glaze Nation, could reorganize the royal family internally. If she intervened, it would represent telling the outside world that Glaze Nation was Scarlet Phoenix Nation's puppet, a vassal state.
Last time she appeared in Glaze Nation, she wore a mask the entire time. Aside from some generals, the little Princess, and some of Glaze Nation's upper echelons, no one knew she'd personally gone to Glaze Nation.
"Alright, go down first. Let me be alone for a while."
"Yes."
She probably knew the Empress couldn't hold back anymore. She hurriedly retreated from the office, allowing the Empress to smash things inside.
"Ling, Cecilia says the new medicine will take another two days."
"Her Majesty will probably have difficulty holding out until then..."
Ling shook her head.
If the Empress couldn't hold out until the new medicine was refined, she'd very likely turn back into that state.
She dared to bet that if the little Princess were present, she'd definitely be more anxious than anyone, because that state of the Empress's was extremely dangerous for the little Princess...
"Alright, don't go in and disturb Her Majesty anymore. Before the new medicine is ready, just proceed as normal."
"Okay."
As the Head Maid of the Scarlet Maid Corps, Red Leaf had quite a lot of work on her hands, especially after the little Princess returned to Glaze Nation and no longer needed her to continue watching over her. Her workload had skyrocketed like a rocket.
May heaven have no maids oppressed by work. Amen.
...
...
"Your Highness Mo! We've already reached Glaze Nation's border!"
The little Princess, who was sleeping, was pushed awake by Xiyan. She somewhat unwillingly rose from Xiao Bai's lap and looked out the window.
They'd indeed already reached Glaze Nation's border. The stone monument beside them marked with the words "Glaze Nation" was proof.
"Your Highness Mo, shall we rest and reorganize on the spot next?"
"Yes, have the soldiers rest and reorganize on the spot. I'm going to talk with the border soldiers."
Glaze Nation's borders still had soldiers deployed to prevent citizens of other nations from illegally entering. If she entered Glaze Nation with such a massive army, it would definitely be reported to the royal family immediately. This wasn't what she wanted.
She wanted to quietly enter Glaze Nation and verify whether what the Luminous Moon Merchant Association said was true or not.
She didn't rule out the possibility that the Luminous Moon Merchant Association's people would deceive her. She held a skeptical attitude.
"Xiao Bai, Xiyan, let's go. Let's meet the soldiers stationed at the border."
"Okay!"
Everything went as she wished. After seeing the soldiers stationed at the border, the soldiers immediately saluted her.
"Your Highness! We welcome you back to the country!"
"Dispense with the formalities. There's no need to mind these courtesies."
At least right now, there was no need to mind these unnecessary courtesies. In a situation with many people, following these courtesies was fine. Privately, she still didn't like people treating her with such courtesies.
Perhaps it was a habit left over from her previous life?
"Your Highness, you bringing an army back this time is for...?"
Although she was their own Princess, what should be asked still had to be asked according to the rules.
"Coming back to see my Father the King, and staying for a few days while I'm at it."
She didn't state her true purpose, just casually found a reason intending to brush it off.
This kind of royal family internal problem generally wasn't suitable for spreading outside. These few soldiers didn't need to know. She only needed these few soldiers not to go back and tip anyone off.
"By the way, regarding the news of my return, you'd better keep your mouths shut. Don't spread it back, understand?"
"Yes!"
Although they didn't quite understand why their own Princess would make such a request, as soldiers of Glaze Nation, they still agreed.
After this, each of them received a Gold Coin from the little Princess's hand as hush money.
"This, this, this... Isn't this too valuable!? Your Highness!?"
This was a whole Gold Coin! Converting it came to ten thousand Copper Coins, fully equivalent to several months' income for a comfortable family in Glaze Nation!
"Take it. Consider it a reward for you. How you use it is up to you."
The little Princess waved her hand, refusing the several soldiers' intention to return the Gold Coins.
Anyway, she didn't lack Gold Coins now. She had several thousand in her small treasury! The Empress had given them to her before she left.
Although it still fell far short of her small treasury in Glaze Nation, it was also completely sufficient to guarantee her travels would be worry-free. At least she completely didn't need to have a headache over money matters.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
...
After settling the few soldiers, the little Princess returned to the army, returned to the carriage, and quietly waited, waiting for the meal that Chef Xiyan was preparing for her.
"Your Highness Mo! Chicken soup is here~!"
"Are you trying to poison me?"
The corner of the little Princess's mouth twitched.
"Huh?"
The little loli maid Xiyan looked blank, not knowing what the little Princess meant.
"Never mind... Just pretend I never said anything."
"Oh..."
Her Highness Mo seems to like talking to herself lately?
