Shi Qi finally relaxed as he approached the man coming at him on a horse. He knelt on one knee. “I pay my respects to you, Master.”
“You may rise. This journey has been hard on all of you,” the man’s warm voice, which was filled with dignified authority could be heard.
“I did not disgrace my duty!” Shi Qi’s eyes were almost filled with tears.
Right at that moment, the tightly drawn curtains were suddenly pulled apart. The ravishing beauty looked at the man on the horse as her eyes filled with tears. “Brother.”
“Sis,” Long Yang got off his horse and approached her. He called out gently when he saw the woman in the carriage.
Long Qingzhi did not mind at all. After all, both siblings had not seen each other for nearly twenty years.
He was only ten years old when she was married off to faraway Danjue.
She quickly sized him up. The younger brother she remembered who had always followed behind her had now grown up to be a fine and upright man.
Long Qingzhi’s tears fell.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt has been twenty years. She has now returned to her homeland and seeing her younger brother again. It was a slight comfort from the pain of losing her husband.
Long Yang did not expect his sister, who had always been strong, to lose her composure this way. He had no idea how to console her.
It took him quite a while before speaking in a grim voice. “Sis, don’t cry. No one would ever dare bully both of you from now on.”
Long Qingzhi nodded. A slight smile appeared on her lips. “Alright.”
“If it’s possible, should we begin our journey?” Long Yang’s gaze brushed across the pallor-looking child in her arms as he asked in a low voice.
Long Qingzhi seemed to remember something with his reminder. “The sooner the better, Zhi’er, he…”
Her tears had just stopped flowing, but at the mention of this, it began to flow again.
It felt like she had exhausted her lifetime of tears during this dire period.
“Don’t worry, he will be fine.” Long Yang did not say anything more. Seeing Chu Qi bringing the heavily wounded Shi Si back, he gave orders to leave.
“Brother, Wanyan Jin has taken complete control over Danjue’s imperial court. He might initiate war at any time. You have to be prepared for this.” Long Qingzhi was reminded of something as she pulled open the curtains to inform Long Yang about this.
Long Yang nodded. “I know. Don’t worry, Sis.”
Long Qingzhi stopped worrying when she heard this.
She had heard about her brother’s tactics at ruling the country even though she was far away in Danjue.
Judging by the way he had replied with confidence, he must be well-prepared.
No matter how well Wanyan Jin laid out his plans, he would not have an easy time when his opponent was her brother.
When Long Yang noticed her sorrowful expression and could not help saying, “Sis, I’m getting married on the fifteenth day of August.”
Long Qingzhi gave him a surprised look when she heard this.
Even though she was quite a distance away in Danjue, she was aware of her brother’s situation with his imperial harem.
He was thirty this year but had yet to marry an Empress and had no children. He had, instead, appointed their Royal Brother’s son as Heir Apparent.
She had wanted to ask about this, but it was inconvenient due to the long journey.

She suppressed the questions in her mind and forced a smile on her face. “Which family’s daughter are you marrying?”
A slight smile appeared on Long Yang’s lips. “Second Miss Lu from the Grand Duke Family.”
Long Qingzhi frowned when she heard this, and the smile on her face disappeared.
She had heard something different about the ‘great antics’ of this famous Second Miss Lu.
The rumors had spread incessantly, from the Great Shang Kingdom to Danjue, and the original story had long been altered.
If it was before, she would have treated it as a joke, but this was someone who was now involved with her brother. It was a little difficult for her to accept this.
She patted the child in her arms gently as she said quietly, “The girl is quite young, isn’t she?”
“Yes, she’s fifteen this year.” Long Yang turned back to glance at her.
When he saw her indifferent expression, he knew what she was thinking and tried to pacify her. “Sis, don’t believe in any of those rumors. Second Miss Lu is a very good person. You’ll find out when you meet her. You’ll like her a lot too.”
