The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: A Little Horn (Part 62)

Her Highness the Eldest Princess stayed by Bai Yu’s side, taking care of him until his poison was cleared.

On this day, Her Highness the Eldest Princess went out to check the military provisions sent from the Imperial City, and when she returned to the military tent, Bai Yu was nowhere to be found.

There was a letter on the table.

It was a farewell letter.

Her Highness the Eldest Princess sent people to look for him, but there was no news.

Time passed swiftly, three years went by.

After the Heir of Marquis of Zhennan died, the Foreign Alliance became like a joke, disbanding as easily as it had formed.

After their disbandment, Her Highness the Eldest Princess spent three years breaking them down one by one, making them bow their heads in submission.

The territory of Great Xia expanded once again.

Her Highness the Eldest Princess’s fame resounded throughout Great Xia, and she was worshipped by the people as the War God.

...

”General Zhentian has returned to the capital!”

”Her Highness the Eldest Princess has returned!”

”The War God has returned!”

The common people roamed the streets, shouting the good news.

As Her Highness the Eldest Princess entered the gates of the Imperial City, she saw people standing orderly along both sides of the street, each holding a basket, ready to scatter flowers as she rode past. This procession was even grander than the top scholar riding through the streets.

The little palace maid disguised as a soldier giggled, ”Your Highness, the people really like you!”

Being adored by the people, a slight smile appeared beneath Her Highness the Eldest Princess’s mask, but her brows remained slightly furrowed.

”Is there still no news of Bai Yu?”

The little palace maid replied dejectedly, ”No news at all, it seems the King with a Different Surname and the Bai Family have taken action. When these two families join forces to hide someone, we can’t find them at all.”

Her Highness the Eldest Princess pressed her lips and said no more.

...

At the palace gates, the old emperor personally came to greet her.

After not seeing each other for ten years, much of the resentment and anger in Her Highness the Eldest Princess’s heart dissipated upon seeing the old emperor.

The face of the old emperor was now withered, his hair as white as snow.

”Your daughter pays respect to Father Emperor!”

The old emperor quickly reached out to support her, ”No need for ceremony, let me have a good look at you, take off the mask quickly!”

The old emperor was somewhat fearful, worried about seeing a face that was dark and coarse.

The old emperor even took a Heart-protecting Pill first, afraid of being too shocked.

Her Highness the Eldest Princess twitched her lips slightly and slowly took off the mask.

”Phew!” The old emperor let out a heavy sigh, ”Fortunately, still my most beautiful eldest daughter!”

Her Highness the Eldest Princess: ”...”

She didn’t expect that after ten years apart, Father Emperor was more concerned about her face than the military talisman, not concerned about the conquered lands.

Truly... Everyone has a love for beauty, and her Father Emperor values it most.

...

Returning to her dwelling, looking at the unchanged furnishings, the Eldest Princess felt a surreal dream-like sensation.

After washing and dressing, she still wore a suit of men’s clothing.

Seeing her dressed in men’s attire, the old emperor felt somewhat desolate, ”You no longer like women’s clothing?”

The Eldest Princess laughed casually, ”I’m just used to this.”

She sat boldly, and her behavior completely resembled that of a man.

The old emperor sighed, ”You’ve returned to the capital, it’s time to change these habits, by the way, the Minister of War’s son...”

Then the old emperor, without feeling any dryness of mouth, went on recommending almost every eligible young man in the Imperial City.

”From all I’ve mentioned, is there anyone you like?”

”No need, your daughter is a husband-destroyer, I don’t want to harm anyone.”

The old emperor felt bitterness in his mouth and heartfelt self-reproach, taking a deep breath, he revealed a long-kept secret, ”The Heir of Marquis of Zhennan is dead, you won’t destroy husbands anymore.”

”Oh?” The Eldest Princess raised an eyebrow, not expecting Father Emperor to reveal this.

However... She had already killed the Heir of Marquis of Zhennan, perhaps Father Emperor guessed what he said, and thus chose to confide now.

This so-called confession was only to prevent estrangement between father and daughter, after all, she is now General Zhentian, holding military power, and the newly conquered territories only recognize her as their leader.

After hearing the old emperor’s frustrations, Her Highness the Eldest Princess simply replied lightly, ”The past is the past, I’m used to being alone.”

”How can that be! You’re alone, all by yourself!”

”If Father Emperor insists, then help me find Bai Yu, apart from him, I will not marry anyone else.”

The old emperor felt quite troubled, ”Bai Yu... his face is ruined.”

”Ruined is ruined, I don’t mind.”

”Are you truly not marrying anyone else but him?”

”Yes.”
