Chapter 403 The Real Princess Has a Gossip System (11)
The army of the Great Yu Kingdom marched south and soon arrived at the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom.
The strongest forces of the Great Xia Dynasty are all concentrated here at this moment.
Hey little melon, let me see if I can find any useful melons.
[Host, these are the juicy details I've gathered over this period, all related to the Great Xia Kingdom.]
Wangyou quickly found a breakthrough by reading ten lines at a glance.
Then, Wangyou strolled over to the tent where Nangong Sheng was and began to look at the melons.
The general defending the city was named Yuwen Chengdu. The reason he fought to the death was because the emperor had saved the Yuwen family's life. However, he did not know that the emperor was not the one who saved their life. On the contrary, the emperor was the culprit who killed their savior.
It turns out that all those who could testify back then were killed by that scoundrel emperor. However, there is still one witness: Abbess Liaoyuan, who lives in a nunnery thirty miles away. Finding her might reveal the truth to the world, and perhaps then we could take over the Xia capital without firing a single shot.
After making sure Nangong Sheng and the others had heard clearly, Wangyou pretended to have eaten a few unimportant pieces of gossip before running off to play.
Nangong Sheng naturally rushed to send people. Yuwen Chengdu was willing to repay a life-saving debt, but if he knew that his real savior had been killed long ago, he would definitely turn against him.
As Wangyou had predicted, the man Nangong Sheng sent out quickly found Master Liaoyuan. The man was quite persuasive and managed to convince Master Liaoyuan to testify, and even provided some evidence that Wangyou had not mentioned.
The result was quite obvious. After obtaining the evidence and receiving some assurances from Nangong Sheng, Yuwen Chengdu opened the city gates directly.
Thus, the Great Xia Dynasty perished, but seeing that his troops had not suffered many losses, Nangong Sheng's warlike heart could not be contained.
Then a letter was sent to Nangong Zhizhan. After receiving the letter, Nangong Zhizhan summoned officials from the Ministry of Revenue to audit the national treasury assets and annual taxes. The result was that there was no problem in continuing the war.
Nangong Sheng was delighted and led his army on another eastern expedition, while Wangyou, no longer wanting to watch the war, went straight back.
Nangong Sheng didn't force her to stay; he hadn't wanted her to come out in the first place. Knowing that Wangyou wanted to go back, he immediately had someone escort her back to the capital. As for the Great Xia side, Nangong Zhizhan decided on the officials to be stationed there.
After returning home, Wangyou's life didn't change much. She raised tigers and dogs, ate melons and watched the excitement. She unexpectedly found a lot of talented people, but also exposed a lot of scum and degenerates.
Two years later, Nangong Sheng returned to the capital in triumph, and it was time for Nangong Zhizhan's marriage to be put on the agenda. However, Nangong Zhizhan took a liking to a woman who worked in the Ministry of Works, and Nangong Sheng immediately agreed after learning that the girl was fine.
As for Wangyou, Nangong Sheng wanted to find her a husband to accompany her, but Wangyou refused no matter what. She felt more comfortable being alone, so Nangong Sheng let her be.
Aside from her external qualities, Wangyou herself is very attractive, so she never lacks suitors. However, Wangyou doesn't see them as suitors because a normal girl would blush and feel shy, but she doesn't.
Forget-Me-Not is the kind of person who, after being teased until they blush, will still gently touch the other person's face to find out why they're blushing. Over time, some people persist in this, while others follow their family's arrangements to get married and have children.
The one who persisted the longest was a junior general. Wangyou was his savior. Later, based on his military achievements, he rose to the rank of a second-grade official. What remained unchanged was that he always followed in Wangyou's footsteps.
Nangong Sheng and Nangong Zhizhan thought highly of Xiao Zhan, but unfortunately, their blockhead son just wouldn't understand.
Xiao Zhan would bring her food, which she accepted without hesitation. But when he brought her rare treasures, she would refuse them. In Wangyou's eyes, even the most beautiful and precious jewels were probably not as valuable as a plate of braised pork. Moreover, as a princess doted on by the emperor and the crown prince, she would never lack such things.
Xiao Zhan went to great lengths to pursue her, even developing an exceptional skill. With this unique skill, Wangyou finally became willing to look at him seriously.
Nangong Sheng and Nangong Zhizhan were relieved; their little cabbage had finally come to its senses.
They soon realized they were too optimistic. Wangyou was indeed looking at Xiao Zhan with respect, but that didn't mean she had figured things out. She was still treating Xiao Zhan like a cook, diligently paying him wages every month.
She had calculated everything perfectly, and Xiao Zhan hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
Moreover, because Nangong Sheng and Nangong Zhizhan deliberately created conditions, Xiao Zhan had many opportunities to come into contact with Wangyou, but Xiao Zhan could clearly see one fact each time.
Those were the eyes of a carefree woman; no matter who she looked at, they were always the same: calm, indifferent, and gentle, as if nothing could stir any emotion within her.
[Host, how can you be so clueless? Can't you see he wants to date you?]
Little Gua was so disappointed in him.
Why bother with dating? It's not like you can eat or drink.
Xiao Gua: [You're destined to be single and lonely your whole life. Calling you a "straightforward, tough girl" is giving you too much credit; you're just heartless.]
You go do your own thing.
Wangyou stopped paying attention to Xiaogua and continued her lazy, carefree life.
Wangyou thought Xiao Zhan wouldn't be able to hold on, but no one expected that he would actually persevere for a lifetime.
While prolonged companionship won't make Wangyou realize the truth, it will make her regard Xiao Zhan as a friend, and a very trusting one at that.
In this life, Wangyou lived to be eighty-eight years old. Before she died, her elder brother's son had already been on the throne for many years, and the Great Yu Dynasty had achieved the goal of receiving congratulations from all nations.
Back in her space, Wangyou felt that she had left something behind when she left last time, otherwise she wouldn't have been so clueless.
After examining her soul, it was discovered that she had left behind her half-dead love root. This love root now truly only has roots and no stems or leaves. Who knows when it will sprout again.
Whose love will diminish with each cultivation? Of course, Wangyou didn't forget the suddenly appearing gossip-eating system, and gave it to Duobao for company.
Only then did the gossip system realize that Wangyou knew from the second day after she was bound to her that others could hear her thoughts, which explained why her thoughts were so calm.
However, the gossip system didn't dare to do anything, after all, Duobao, a person with connections to the unified realm, was there.
Wangyou ran up to the Pangu statue and talked to him for a long time. Whether Pangu could hear her or not, Wangyou didn't know, but she was happy!
Meanwhile, Pangu, who was resting in an unknown place, listened to the incessant chatter with a smile on his lips, a doting smile playing on his face.
After resting enough, Wangyou grabbed another small world and went inside.
……
"Wangyou, something's happened to your grandpa, hurry home!"
The little girl who was catching fish on the ridge of the field took off running home.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Wake up!" Wangyou cried out anxiously upon seeing the old man lying on the door.
