Lu Ye smiled and said, “Our Great Empress is in the car.”

Zeng Sanshui was confused again. “What is a car?”

Zeng Sanshui had heard of bicycle, tricycle, horse carriage, but he had never heard of a car.

Lu Ye’s gaze landed on the black car that Bai Wutong was in. He said to Zeng Sanshui, “You’ll know soon.”

Ever since the research institute developed cars, automobile manufacturing had developed rapidly.

The Great Empress’ residence had already gathered several cars of different colors. Yu Suisheng led the team to continuously uncover the technology provided by the research institute and gradually built car engines.

In a few days, they would be able to put the sale of cars on the agenda.

As for the small number of trucks and cars produced by the Imperial Court, most of them were supplied to the army, the munitions factories, and the people from Carefree Kingdom who had contributed a lot.

Whoever had a car delivered to them certainly had a high status in the Carefree Kingdom.

The huge monster in Zeng Sanshui’s eyes also stopped when the gong and drum stopped.

Through the front window, he could see that there seemed to be someone inside.

Suddenly, the door was opened by Qingfeng, who had jumped off the horse. A young, beautiful, and extraordinary woman walked out of the steel monster.

Zeng Sanshui had seen many beauties, and there were a few who were comparable to the woman in front of him. However, she had a unique temperament that was as dazzling as the moon in the sky, making one unable to look away.

Just as Zeng Sanshui was praising this woman’s astonishing appearance, he was stunned in the next second.

This was because on the other side of the steel monster, Chu Tianbao had come down!

This guy had made countless contributions since he was 16 years old. His reputation at the age of 20 had completely covered him and he had become the young general that everyone admired.

If he appeared with this woman, didn’t that mean that this young and beautiful woman was the Southern frontier Great Empress?

Was this because she was good at maintaining her looks, or was the Southern frontier Great Empress like this to begin with?

Zeng Sanshui had thought that the Great Empress of the southern frontier would definitely be a fierce and smart woman who could easily suppress Chu Tianbao in bed. In the end, it seemed that Chu Tianbao had not lost out at all!

He heard that he was the only husband of the Southern frontier Great Empress. Moreover, she had given birth to a pair of children for him.

As soon as Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao appeared, the atmosphere immediately reached an unprecedented climax.

The commoners cheered excitedly. “Greetings to the Great Empress and King!”

Bai Wutong waved at them, but the cheers of the commoners became louder. It could be seen that Bai Wutong was loved and respected by the local people from the bottom of their hearts.

Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao dazzled in the crowd. When Qu Yuanxian thought of his gaze on this trip, the smile on his face faded.

What reason did he have to convince such a good country to submit to Emperor Ling Hui?

Qu Yuanxian thought of his relatives in the distant Ling Kingdom’s Imperial City and was extremely conflicted.

Perhaps if he could not persuade Bai Wutong to submit, he could ask Chu Tianbao to write a letter to Emperor Ling Hui. If Emperor Ling Hui was appeased, he would not punish his wife and children.

When Bai Shining learned from Chu Mingxuan that the Southern frontier Great Empress was his daughter, he did not believe it at all.

Even now, when he saw the appearance of the Southern frontier Great Empress, he was still in a daze.

Could he have recognized the wrong person?

There was no lack of people in this world who looked extremely similar.

Moreover, how could the noble aura of the southern frontier Great Empress be like his timid eldest daughter?

Jia Yuqin and Bai Xinshui were even more shocked than him.

It was true. Bai Wutong was really still alive. Moreover, she had become the respected Great Empress of the southern frontier.

The man standing intimately with her was extraordinarily handsome, like an immortal. The biological son of Emperor Ling Hui and Noble Consort Ling, the real Eldest Prince, was 80% like Emperor Ling Hui. No one would believe that he was not his biological son.

Bai Xinshui bit her lip and trembled. Bai Wutong probably already knew the truth about falling off the cliff back then. She was also jealous that she had such a great fortune after falling off the cliff.

On the other hand, although she was the Eldest Prince’s secondary consort, she was living worse than a servant.

Before Chu Tianbao became the Eldest Prince, he was still the Young General of the Gu family that the commoners praised!

Bai Wutong was inferior to her in every aspect. How could she have such a great fortune!

But now, they had no choice but to recognize the situation and let Bai Wutong and Bai Shining acknowledge each other.

Otherwise, be it Chu Mingxuan or Emperor Ling Hui’s anger, they would not be able to withstand it.

The moment Bai Shining reached out to shout at Bai Wutong, the soldiers who were already on guard quickly sealed his mouth, preventing him from saying a word.

When Bai Xinshui saw that Bai Shining’s mouth was covered, she was afraid that she would be brought into the cell. She hurriedly looked at Qu Yuanxian for help.

Their seats were behind, and Qu Yuanxian was facing them again.

Qu Yuanxian did not see it at all. Even if he did, he could not interfere with Bai Wutong’s decision to deal with them.

There was a commotion. Bai Wutong walked towards the team, but Bai Shining’s family was detained in the prison.

Qu Yuanxian took the lead and bowed to Bai Wutong.

The team also bowed to Bai Wutong in unison. “Greetings, Great Empress of the southern frontier.”

The Ling Kingdom’s envoy took the initiative to bow to their Great Empress. The citizens of Carefree City immediately felt a strong sense of pride and became even more welcoming of Qu Yuanxian and the others’ visit.

Zeng Sanshui greeted Chu Tianbao as if they were close friends. “Young General.” Then he asked, “Where’s Marshal Gu?”

The news of Gu Chilie’s rebellion was suppressed by Emperor Ling Hui.

Zeng Sanshui had always thought that Gu Chilie was enjoying life in the southern frontier.

As soon as he said this, the originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly froze.

Qu Yuanxian immediately glanced meaningfully at Zeng Sanshui not to ask further.

So be it. He couldn’t be bothered to ask.

After all, they were here as envoys. Bai Wutong had prepared a grand welcoming banquet for them.

As they ate the delicacies, they could also admire the local dance songs.

Looking at the sumptuous food on the dining table, Zeng Sanshui touched his stomach and laughed at Bai Wutong. “There are many delicacies in the southern frontier. I’ve gained much weight here.”

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “If General Zeng is satisfied with the food, your trip to the southern frontier will not be in vain.”

“Dong dong dong—”

The bell in the tower suddenly sounded. Everyone looked up in the direction of the bell.

“Bang bang bang—”

The fireworks that suddenly rose were dazzling and colorful. The night scenery of the entire Carefree City was like an ancient castle that only existed in the legends.

The corners of everyone’s mouths curled up unconsciously as they admired the fireworks.

Zeng Sanshui drank a lot of good wine at the dining table and was carried back to the detached villa specially arranged for them by his subordinates.

Qu Yuanxian came to Yang Quanzi.

Yang Quanzi looked at him. Although he was happy, he still had to ask what he should ask. “Why did Emperor Ling Hui send you to our Carefree Kingdom?”

He said, ‘Our Carefree Kingdom’, as if excluding him.

Qu Yuanxian’s eyes could not help but flash with disappointment. “Emperor Ling Hui asked me to persuade the Great Empress to submit to the Ling Kingdom and asked Chu Tianbao to bring the children back to the Ling Kingdom.”

Yang Quanzi suddenly frowned and his tone was filled with anger. “He wants our princess and prince to stay in the Ling Kingdom as hostages?”

Qu Yuanxian quickly shook his head. “No, Emperor Ling Hui is their biological grandfather. It’s impossible for him to harm them..”
