Chapter 774 Fiefdom
Gu Chan didn’t want to get entangled with Xuanyuan Long anymore.

Right now she had only one idea, which was to move her family out of Kyoto as soon as possible, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

So she said without hesitation, “Prince, since you have said this, I will not beat around the bush. I would like to ask you to grant me Zhongyuan City as my fiefdom. In the future, I will take my family to Zhongyuan City to live a good life. Unless there is something serious, I will never come to Kyoto to disturb you again.”

“Zhongyuan City is a wealthy place in Tiancang Kingdom. I am a little worried about giving it to you as a fiefdom!” Xuanyuan Long said in a deep voice.

You know, there is a Zhongyuan Camp in Zhongyuan City, with a garrison of 100,000 troops, guarding the Zhongyuan area. If Gu Chan wants to rebel at that time, he can lead an army of 100,000 and march straight into Kyoto. Naturally, he will be worried.

Gu Chan gritted her teeth and said, “How about this, Prince? Cancel the Central Plains Camp and move it directly to the foot of the Imperial City. Then you don’t have to worry anymore, right?”

“That’s great.” Xuanyuan Long said proudly.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Your Highness to draft an imperial edict personally, so that I can take it back to my three wives and ask them to choose an auspicious day to return to their fiefdoms. As for me, I still have to stay in Kyoto for a few more days.” Gu Chan said, clasping his fists and bowing.

Xuanyuan Long smiled triumphantly, immediately stood up and walked to the imperial desk, picked up the brush and quickly wrote an imperial edict to grant the land, and handed it to Gu Chan.

Gu Chan took the imperial edict and examined it carefully, making sure that there were no mistakes in every word written on it. Then she reached into the bag on her waist, took out the real imperial seal, and handed it to Xuanyuan Long.

“Hahaha……”

After Xuanyuan Long got the imperial seal, he couldn’t help but look up and laugh out loud.

At this moment, the heart that had been hanging in his chest finally settled down completely.

Gu Chan sneered and said, “Prince, don’t be too happy too soon. Although the real imperial seal is now in your hands, the old prince will not let it go. I advise you to be careful.”

“You’ve thought too much. Ever since the emperor’s uncle vomited blood because of you that night, he is now lying on the bed and is about to die. I have to thank you for helping me to make him angry to death!” Xuanyuan Long said with a laugh.

“What?” Gu Chan was dumbfounded.

She really didn’t expect that the old man was so careless!
Yan Li laughed and said, “Prince Chan, you probably don’t know! Although the old prince looks strong on the surface, he is actually weak inside. In addition, he is very old and suffers from a chronic disease. So after your anger, he has been in a worse situation. It will be difficult for him to get up again!”

“It seems like this is fate! You are destined to be the emperor, and there’s no way to stop it.” Gu Chan muttered helplessly.

During the time she had been in Kyoto, she had tried every possible means to prevent Xuanyuan Long from ascending the throne, but judging from the current situation, she was probably destined to ascend the throne, and as the new emperor of Tiancang Kingdom, she could not stop him no matter how hard she tried.

Helpless, Gu Chan could only smile bitterly and shook her head, saying, “Prince, if this is the case, then I still hope that you can be a wise ruler in the future and let the people of Tiancang live a good life.”

“Do you need to say more?” Xuanyuan Long said arrogantly.

Gu Chan sighed, bowed to him, and left silently.

On the way out of the palace, she said nothing, with a thousand thoughts in her mind. It was not until now that she realized that people cannot always be successful in their lives and will still experience failures.

It can be said that although she did not suffer much loss during her visit to Kyoto, she was ultimately a failure because she did not accomplish her goal at the beginning, which was to support the Ninth Prince Xuanyuan Qing to ascend the throne.

This was her failure, and it was also the fate and suffering that Xuanyuan Qing should experience!
“Sure enough, it’s really hard for people to fight against fate!”

Thinking of all this, Gu Chan could only sigh. In the evening, Gu Chan returned to Prince Chan’s Mansion with the imperial edict.

At this time, in the front yard lobby, the three ladies as well as Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua were all ready.

Gu Chan walked up to them, handed the imperial edict to Ouyang Wan’er and said, “I have already requested for the fiefdom. You should take the imperial edict and leave the city tonight and return to Zhongyuan City! I cannot go with you. Otherwise, if I leave, the Ninth Prince will surely die.”

“Husband, we have just been together and now we have to part again. I really can’t bear to leave you.” Ouyang Wan’er said crying.

Zi Yue and Zuo Xin also burst into tears.

Gu Chan smiled and said, “It’s not like we won’t see each other anymore, there’s no need to cry like this. When you go back to Zhongyuan City in the future, the three of you must work together to help each other and run the Prince Chan’s Mansion well in the fiefdom. I won’t be able to go back for at least half a year.”

“My child, you have suffered so much.”

“Yes! I am so young, but you have to endure so much. We are heartbroken to see you.”

Zhang Wanshan and Ding Meihua cried and complained.

Gu Chan reached out and grasped their aged hands, comforting them, “Grandpa and grandma, as long as you are all okay, I am not afraid of being tired. Now don’t say anything and leave quickly, otherwise I am afraid something will happen if it’s too late.”

“Then take care of yourself, we’re leaving.” Ouyang Wan’er nodded.

After saying this, they wiped away their tears, led hundreds of people from Prince Chan’s Palace, drove more than 20 carriages, and left the city overnight with their luggage.

In order to ensure their safety, Gu Chan specially asked the three pure-blooded spiritual beasts, the dragon, the black bear and the black unicorn, to go with them. With their protection along the way, she felt at ease.

After seeing her family off, Gu Chan returned to the empty lobby in the front yard of Prince Chan’s Mansion and sat down.

Cat Boss sat on the chair next to her and said, “When are you going to go to the Earth-Moon Country next?”

“Stay in Kyoto for another three days! I still have things to do.” Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

[So when you go to the Earth-Moon Country, do you plan to take me with you?] The cat boss asked.

Gu Chan put her hand on her chin and thought for a while before saying, “It’s good for you to follow me, but I have more important things for you to do, so you don’t have to follow me.”

[You are really brave. What? Are you really planning to go to the Earth-Moon Country alone?] The cat boss said with a wry smile.

It really didn’t expect that Gu Chan was so bold.

Gu Chan smiled but said nothing. She just reached into the bag on her waist, took out the mother sword of the Beast Taming Divine Sword that had been in it, and said, “Just take it with you.”

[In that case, I wish you a safe return.] Seeing this, the cat boss said nothing more. After replying to Gu Chan, he jumped off the chair and went back to the yard where he lived to take a nap.

Gu Chan put away the mother sword of the Beast Taming Sword, stood up and went back to the study to rest.
