No news had come back from Nancheng, yet a major "happy event" occurred in the Capital: Princess Lingzhao was to be married.
Su Mingyu stood before the gates of the Empress's Qifeng Palace, watching as Princess Lingzhao brushed past her. The Princess had come to bid the Empress farewell. In three days, Princess Lingzhao would be married off to the Canglang State, sent to wed the Third Prince.
A few months ago, the First Prince of Canglang had attempted to assassinate Emperor Chen within Daxia. The Third Prince had silently betrayed both the First and Second Princes, re-establishing an alliance with Daxia. In exchange, Emperor Chen had personally sent men to escort the Canglang princes home, promising that if the Third Prince secured the succession, Princess Lingzhao would be given to him in marriage.
