Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan stood in front of the imperial desk and sneered.

After Zuo Wangfeng disappeared outside the imperial study, she stared at Xuanyuan Long and said, "Prince, if I remember correctly, the Kowloon Star Chasing Day will be in two days. I hope you can deal with the commotion tonight as soon as possible, so as not to affect your smooth ascension to the throne!"

"You don't need to remind me, I know what's going on." Xuanyuan Long growled with gritted teeth.

"Yes, Your Highness. I will take my leave now." Gu Chan said, clasping his fists and bowing.

After saying that, she chuckled and turned away with a gloating look on her face.

"boom!"

As soon as she walked out of the imperial study, she heard a deafening bang behind her.

Xuanyuan Longqi punched the table, smashing the sturdy imperial desk into pieces. This shows how deep his hatred for Gu Chan is.

After midnight.

The riots in Kyoto finally subsided completely.

The fierce battle between the Imperial Master and King Chen ended with King Chen being defeated by the Imperial Master and dying.

That night, Master Tiancan led the people from the patrol office to count and report the losses caused by Prince Chen one by one. The next morning, Prince Chen's mansion was ransacked, and the money obtained from the confiscated property was used to compensate the civilians who were injured or killed in the battle.

At noon, everything was dealt with, and Prince Chen's family disappeared in Kyoto. Of the original four kings of Kyoto, only Prince Cheng, Prince Qin, and Prince Chan were left.

Because of this battle, Gu Chan began to become famous in Kyoto, because everyone knew that the reason why King Chen was doomed was because he provoked Gu Chan due to a momentary thought.

This caused many forces in Kyoto to begin to pay great attention to Gu Chan and no longer dared to provoke her easily.

On the other hand, Gu Chan was not in the mood to care about these things at the moment. Instead, with a complicated expression, she sent Zuo Wangfeng and his family to the east gate of Kyoto.

"Woooooooo..."

Zuo Xin threw herself into her mother Ji's arms and cried inconsolably.

Ji was also crying. She patted her daughter's back and said sobbingly, "My daughter! After we leave, you must take good care of yourself. Don't be as impulsive as before. Otherwise, if you cause trouble again and kill Gu Chan, you won't have a good life."

"Mom, I understand. You have to live well after you return to your hometown, otherwise I won't be at ease." Zuo Xin said crying.

After saying this, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, feeling very sad.

Gu Chan sighed and walked up to Zuo Wangfeng and said, "Father-in-law, why are you doing this? Now that King Chen is dead, if you don't resign and stay, your position as the general of Kyoto will be unchallengeable. Why do you have to resign just to save your temper?"

"You are still young, and there are many things you cannot understand. Kyoto today is like a big dye vat. If you are not careful, you will fall into it and get stained with dirt. Even if you jump into the river, you can't wash yourself clean. I might as well take my wife and children back to my hometown, live a peaceful life of my own, and never worry about worldly affairs again." Zuo Wangfeng said with a wry smile.

Gu Chan nodded and stopped persuading her.

Zuo Wangfeng looked at Zuo Yun who was standing aside and said, "Now that you are the current imperial consort, it will not be easy for you to escape. After we leave, you can sell the mansion for money. Then you can take Yuan Jie to live in the princess's mansion. With the help of the Thirteenth Princess, you two can at least live in peace and save your lives for the time being."

"Dad, don't worry! Gu Chan and I will protect myself and everyone else." Zuo Yun said with a faint smile.

Zuo Wangfeng nodded in satisfaction and shouted at Ji, "Stop crying, get on the carriage and leave."

"Daughter, son, take care of yourselves and remember to come back home when you have time." Ji said while wiping away her tears.

Then she let go of Zuo Xin, got on the carriage crying, and together with Zuo Wangfeng, dozens of people including maids, servants, guards and others from the general's mansion, left Kyoto in a grand carriage.

Gu Chan and Zuo Yun, brother and sister, stood at the city gate and watched the convoy go away before they got into the carriage and returned to the city.

On the way back to the Chan Palace, Gu Chan sat in the carriage and asked, "How come your family is leaving, but you don't seem sad at all, but happy instead?"

"Nonsense, when they were around, I was restricted in everything I did. Now that they are gone, can't I just show my skills? Besides, if they go back to their hometown, that is my father's territory, who would dare to touch it? Wouldn't I have nothing to worry about?" Zuo Yun said with a grin.

Zuo Xin rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. She wasn't in the mood to argue with him. She just tilted her head and looked out the window, feeling sad alone.

Gu Chan didn't bother her, but just smiled and said, "That's true. In the past, your father was supporting you, and you were lazy all day long. Now that he is gone, it's a good thing that he can train you."

"After that, I will live in your Prince Chan's Mansion for a while until I sell the old mansion." Zuo Yun said.

Gu Chan nodded in agreement, and then the two of them calmed down and rushed back to Prince Chan's Mansion.

However, to their surprise, as soon as they returned to Prince Chan's Mansion, they found Princess Thirteen and Yuan Jie standing on the left and right in the front yard, confronting each other.

Zuo Yun was stunned and yelled, "What are you going to do?"

"What? A duel of course. Didn't we agree to duel in seven days?" Princess Thirteen said with a stiff face.

Zuo Yun was about to step forward to stop them, but Gu Chan quickly reached out and pulled him back, saying, "If they want to fight, let them fight. Why are you so anxious?"

"Oh! Women are such trouble. Such a big thing has just happened, and they are still fighting here. It really makes me mad." Zuo Yun said angrily.

Zuo Xin said coldly, "I think you are a coward. They are obviously your women, and you can't control them. Not only can you let them duel here, but you still have the nerve to be angry!"

"What does it have to do with me? They wanted to duel on their own. Are you blaming me?" Zuo Yun said with his hands spread out.

"Okay, stop arguing, both of you. Be quiet and watch carefully. The three of us can serve as witnesses for them. After this duel, it will be clear who will be your wife in the future." Gu Chan interrupted.

After hearing this, the brother and sister stopped arguing and stood there watching quietly.

Gu Chan walked to stand between the Thirteenth Princess and Yuan Jie, and said with a sly smile, "Thirteenth Princess, you insisted on having this duel. No matter whether you win or lose, you can't regret it, otherwise it will damage your reputation as the Thirteenth Princess of Tiancang Kingdom!"

"Don't worry, I will never lose to her. I will definitely win this duel today." Princess Thirteen said confidently.

"Well, now I declare that your duel begins." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

After saying this, she retreated to the side of Zuo Yun and his sister, stood with her hands behind her back, and watched quietly.

The Thirteenth Princess and Yuan Jie were both glaring at each other, as if they were ready to fight to the death.
