Chapter 482(2): yet to use until now

King, our whereabouts have been discovered.

The man stood at the side as he quietly watched the woman lying on the bed. After interrogating her, she had trembled and pa.s.sed out once again. He tried pinching her, but there was no reaction.

Looks like shes really unconscious.

Well leave the capital early tomorrow morning. The man calmly said with his arms behind his back.

This subordinate will make preparations right away. The guard acknowledged the order and walked a few steps before turning to ask, King, is this woman really the imperial princess?

The Grand Empress Dowagers verbal edict was to bring the person with the jade pendant back to the Western Regions. We still have to investigate this womans ident.i.ty. The mans cold gaze landed on Tan Ge.

Empress Mother was someone from the Central Plains, and she possessed none of the typical characteristics of people from the Western Regions. My sisters facial features should resemble Empress Mothers, yet she doesnt look similar at all.

After repeatedly interrogating her, I couldnt find any loopholes in her answers. If thats the case, I might as well bring her back to the Western Regions first and secretly observe her.

If shes lying, Ill definitely not let her off. But if she is my sister, Ill give her everything an imperial princess deserves; she will enjoy unparalleled glory.

Meanwhile, Tan Ge was trapped in what seemed like her own endless nightmare after pa.s.sing out. She saw Xie Yun wickedly smiling at her as he called a group of men to forcefully take her on; her fists couldnt help but clench tightly as her brows furrowed.

She uncontrollably s.h.i.+vered in fear, and finally, she shrieked, Stop! Her eyes suddenly opened, her forehead breaking out in a cold sweat.

Thud!

A warm handkerchief landed on her hand. Her gaze was uncomprehending as she stared at it, a mans voice streaming into her ears.

Wipe it yourself.

Tan Ge stiffly reached out her hand and took the handkerchief, slowly wiping herself despite her still wildly beating heart.

Whats your name?

Tan Ge was taken aback for a moment.

I cant say my real name. I have to abandon my name, abandon everything I have.

You dont have a name even after living in Beimin for many years?

Tan Ge lifted her head, the corners of her eyes still wet. My parents are dead Her body shook before she continued. Wheres my jade pendant? Return it to me! Let me leave! I dont know you! I beg of you, please let me go.

She screamed with all her might until her voice became hoa.r.s.e.

Everything is a facade. Men will definitely be a little moved when faced with a deranged woman.

The man replied, I will bring you back to the Western Regions. Once I have verified your ident.i.ty, I will naturally return this pendant to you. However, only my biological sister is worthy of wearing it.

Your biological younger sister? Tan Ge pretended to reveal a puzzled and shocked expression before she fiercely shook her head. I dont understand. I only know that this jade pendant is mine! She stood up, prepared to pounce onto him.

The man stepped to the side, his gaze growing colder. My name is Du Ling, the King of the Western Regions. Since you have no name, Ill call you Nu-er[1] from now on.

Nu-er was the name for female slaves in the Western Regions. Du Ling was indirectly warning her,

If you are pretending, you will become a slave

the lowliest existence

in the future.

Tan Ge had read many books while she was studying the jade pendant, and naturally understood what Nu-er meant in the Western Regions. Her body trembled.

Theres no backing out; I must push forward. The Imperial Princess of Western Regions; thats who I will become!

Only if I grasp this opportunity can I become stronger and take revenge!

Nu-er, you cant deceive this Emperor. Your facial features dont look the least bit like Empress Mother. Du Ling bent down and inspected her with his eagle eyes.

I dont know what youre talking about. I have been bullied since I was young, and Im used to it. Dont harm me! Tan Ge cowered at the foot of the bed, feigning a fearful expression.

1. Nu means slave.
