The Love Imagination System

Part 73: Saying Goodbye

“A-Chen, what are you thinking?”

Xiao Junjie occasionally looked at him while brewing tea. Baili Qingchen glanced at him for a moment before she shook her head. Xiao Junjie guessed that Baili Qingchen was thinking about what to do so that the Baili Wuyuan who was delivered to the palace could have the status and be recognized as a prince.

Actually, that's not what he thinks. Baili Qingchen was confident that her nephew could make the right decision for his eldest son. What makes him plunge into daydreams and long thoughts is about an overnight dream that is so strange yet seems real.

Medicine fields, high waterfalls, magic ponds, icebergs, peach gardens, as well as a very beautiful cottage it feels really real. It looks like a valley. Nothing on Bingyue, yet it seems to really exist. As hard as he thought about it, he found no answer where the place was.

“Enight, how do I get back?” ask Baili Qingchen.

“The Queen who carried you home. You are soaking wet and unconscious,” Xiao Junjie replied.

“The power is that big?”

“A-Chen, actually why are your clothes soaking wet and you're unconscious?”

“Oh, that, I accidentally fell into the lake. The Empress' daughter also fell because I hit her.”

Xiao Junjie nodded lightly. It was only fitting that last night they came home so late. His thoughts were drifting wildly everywhere.

Seeing his dearest person coming home, that night Xiao Junjie stayed up all night until Baili Qingchen came to her senses. He thought, it is better to ask after being conscious.

“The Queen is angry and punishes Cui Kong,” Xiao Junjie said again. This time, Cui Kong was also guilty of not picking Baili Qingchen and Qingyi home.

“Where is he now?”

“I don't know. I've never been curious about Princess Consort's activities.”

Baili Qingchen was somewhat jolted. The words were like an insinuation that hit his head from behind. Xiao Junjie had never said anything beyond the limits like this before.

Why is he getting so brave now? Was it because Baili Qingchen had already ignored him too often?

“How about the preparation of Zaochun Festival? The affairs in the palace were too complicated until I was forced to postpone it,” Baili Qingchen switched the conversation so that Xiao Junjie would not be too late in disappointment.

“Only just spread the invitation,” Xiao Junjie replied briefly.

Baili Qingchen gasped, never had she heard Xiao Junjie speak so succinctly to her. He thought, maybe Xiao Junjie was really angry.

“A-Jie, relax. I have business to do.”

After which, he left the eastern courtyard, leaving Xiao Junjie alone. Baili Qingchen ignored Xiao Junjie's gaze as if she was unwilling to leave.

His feet continued to step with a blank mind, and had unknowingly led him to the western courtyard. In front of the gate, he stopped. His head looked up at the writing board hanging above.

Usually, the owner of this yard is often seen relaxing in his lazy chair while enjoying the warm morning sunlight. However this time, even after Baili Qingchen went around, the owner of this courtyard did not appear anywhere.

It seems to be lost in the earth. There was no trace that Qingyi had stayed here in quite some time. Everything's neat. Exactly like a while ago.

A servant, who was appointed because he had to go to him. His master looked confused but he did not dare to speak. The maid then informed her that Princess Empress Changle had been gone since morning blind. He even missed his breakfast.

“Why don't you come?” ask Baili Qingchen. He had already said that the Empress Princess should not wander around on her own.

“Your Highness Princess said I was too noisy. So, he left me here, Your Majesty,” the servant replied in a resigned tone.

Since coming in here and being chosen, her daughter's employer has always been unattended and has always said that she is very noisy, even though she doesn't talk much.

Baili Qingchen then sent the servant back to his place. He himself decided to walk out of the mansion without being accompanied by Cui Kong. Poor thing, the bodyguard might still have to rest because Qingyi punished him last night. Wrapped in elegant light blue clothing, Baili Qingchen walked out casually.

Deep in Liu Wang's residence, everyone was busy packing things. Emperor Baili had officially impeached his prime minister and he was told to return home, and could not return to the imperial city without permission.

Emperor Baili told Liu Wang to leave the day after Liu Erniang entered the palace. Therefore, now everyone in his residence was made very busy.

Qingyi walked leisurely among the pile of crates of goods gathered in the garden. Because it was too busy, the servants just passed it by. Occasionally Qingyi touched the lid of the chest whose contents were definitely rare treasures.

He was sure, the wealth that Liu Wang had accumulated over the decades was definitely not small. Moreover, the old man was fond of profiting from cooperation with some high-class criminals like Wang Yiyuan.

Seeing the girl he hated so much coming, Liu Wang's face instantly became gloomy. He walked up to her, then with a stifled rage he asked, “What are you here for?”

Qingyi smiled for a while before the look on her face turned annoying.

“No need. I don't lack anything until you need to stop.”

Liu Wang was still very angry about yesterday's incident. The chaos at the banquet when Liu Erniang was about to receive the decree left Liu Wang with a headache and unable to sleep all night.

How not, the married couple from King Changle's mansion had messed up so big. They could have brought a child of the emperor's descendants the day his daughter entered the palace!

Liu Wang's face was slapped and his head was like being hit hard. The title of High Concubine was suspended, and now a prince appeared. His daughter's path forward there would definitely not be as smooth as before. He would not be able to help much as he himself would leave the imperial city today.

“Really? Too bad. In fact, I have prepared a good gift for you.”

Qingyi then called out to the servant from her mansion, carrying another chest. When he opened it, Liu Wang's eyes widened. Now it is not just a package of mourning clothes that come, but a stack of paper money that amounts to millions of taels.

Liu Wang looked at Qingyi, asking for an explanation of where this much money came from. King Changle couldn't possibly spend this much money on him.

“I'm afraid you ran out of money after leaving the imperial city. Since you rejected it, then I'll bring it back.”

Accompanied by a wave of his hand, his servant then closed the money chest and took it out. Liu Wang looked unwilling.

It was like you had caught a fish in a fishing rod, but it came off before you put it in the bucket. If he knew the reward Qingyi meant was that much money, Liu Wang would not rush to refuse.

“You must remember, your daughter's path in the palace will not be as easy as you imagine. My dear father, never regret the decision you have made,” Qingyi said. Liu Wang clenched his hand.

“Durgan son! If you don't screw it up, he won't be miserable! Liu Qingyi, you really don't know how to get lucky!” Liu Wang was emotionally stirred. This was precisely what Qingyi wanted. Seeing his enemy so angry that it was hard to breathe was an amazing sight.

“You alone pushed him to that bad spot. What's the harem life like, dad, you obviously know better than I do, don't you?”

Qingyi took a step forward, then looked at Liu Wang full of intimidation.

“You think I didn't know that your daughter coveted my husband and hoped to become Empress Changle?”

Liu Wang was stunned. Qingyi smirked. Liu Erniang liked Baili Qingchen, and that was why her hatred for Qingyi grew bigger when the marriage decree came to Qingyi, not to her.

By the time his younger brother had the criminal poison Xiao Junjie, Qingyi clearly heard that Liu Erniang was doing so because he wanted to get rid of Qingyi, in retaliation for having taken King Changle from him.

If you think back, it was pretty funny. How could the children of a prime minister surnamed Liu all take an interest in King Changle.

Liu Qingti admired him as the great War God Bingyue, Liu Erniang liked him and wished to be his wife, and Qingyi, who should not be here, became his empress.

However, after this incident, perhaps Liu Erniang turned to hate King Changle. It was also quite good, Qingyi thought. One Xiao Junjie had already made him emotional. If one added Liu Erniang, he could die of high blood. Qingyi instead wanted to see how high Liu Erniang would climb with his status as the current imperial concubine.

“You! She was Consort Xian, the concubine of His Majesty the Emperor! How dare you talk about it?”

“I am brave. Why why anyway? If you want, write a request and have the Emperor lower the decree to punish me!”

“You! Truly a brash kid!”

Liu Wang was about to slap Qingyi, but a hand then restrained him. When he looked up, he saw Baili Qingchen who seemed to be holding back his emotions. His cold face pierced him to the bone. Liu Wang became nervous and all his anger evaporated.

“You think you can hurt my Empress Princess just because you are her father? Master Liu, you don't even have the right to touch a strand of his hair!”

Baili Qingchen said with great emphasis. His tone was depressed and Qingyi could feel a great anger from the man. Watching the husband who usually only angered her defend her, she laughed inwardly. Baili Qingchen is really very good at words!

“Y-Your Highness..I.”.

“Hurting Princess Empress is a crime. You not only offended King Changle, but also the imperial family!” baili Qingchen.

“Aiya! Your Majesty, you scared my father. Look, his face is already very worrying. Come on, be kind to him,” sidelines Qingyi.

Baili Qingchen let go of Liu Wang's hand but her eyes still looked at him furiously. “Do not interfere. Let me say goodbye to my father this.”

Baili Qingchen took a few steps back, making room for Qingyi so that she could freely talk to Liu Wang. Qingyi then whispered, “The journey this time is long. Dad, you've offended people a lot. Careful, don't let you come back just stay name.”

Qingyi then turned around, pulling Baili Qingchen's hand.

“Hail his farewell has been said. Your Majesty, let's go home.”

Baili Qingchen is like a cat.
