Mammy Cao led them out and added, "Ladies, it would be fortunate for you to return home. Staying here may not bring you blessings."
The three of them didn't understand. How could it not be a blessing to become queens of a prosperous nation?
Inside the palace, the chosen woman blushed and coyly lowered her head.
"My lord, I am called Lian'er."
"No, you shall be called Yue'er," Xuanyuan Cang raised his gaze.
"Xuanyuan Qingyue."
Lian'er was taken aback. "Isn't that the princess's name?"
She was still the lord's own aunt. How could he bestow this life upon her?
However, in the next moment, Xuanyuan Cang recited an incantation and gently touched the spirit pearl. The shimmering starlight burst forth from the pearl.
Lian'er widened her eyes, watching as the radiant light approached her. She screamed in fear.
She wanted to escape, but the doors and windows were sealed shut.
There was nowhere to run!
