After a brief moment of shock, Yao Jinse sternly shouted, "Don't come over here! My people are downstairs. As long as I shout, they will rush up to rescue me!"
Xia Miaoyuan stood up straight and said calmly, "Don't misunderstand me. My second brother and I are not here to arrest you. We want to have a talk with you."
Seeing this, the Second Prince also echoed: "If we wanted to capture you, we would not meet you in this way."
"We really just wanted to talk to you."
Yao Jinse stared at the two of them warily and asked coldly, "Why should I trust you?!"
Xia Miaoyuan said seriously: "Our target was Liang Chaozong."
"Now Liang Chaozong has abandoned you. You are no longer of any value to Liang Chaozong. What's the point of us capturing you?"
The second prince was a little surprised after hearing what his sister said. He didn't expect that his sister would directly reveal the true side of her heart when facing Yao Jinse today, instead of trying her best to pretend to be a child as usual.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yao Jinse's face, and she said in a deep voice, "Okay, we can talk, but you have to know that my people are down there. If you dare to act rashly, they'll hear the noise and come up immediately. I guarantee you won't gain any advantage."
Xia Miaoyuan smiled and said, "Okay."
Then, Xia Miaoyuan turned to the Second Prince and said, "Second brother, please go outside and guard and have someone hold Jiang back."
As he said that, he lifted his short legs and walked towards Yao Jinse's box.
The Second Prince was startled and quickly grabbed his sister's sleeve. "You want to talk to her alone?"
Xia Miaoyuan smiled and nodded, "It's okay, don't worry."
The second prince read his sister's confidence from her calm eyes, and probably understood that his sister wanted to talk about something special with Yao Jinse, so he let go.
"Sister, the secret guards and I will be guarding outside, don't worry!"
Xia Miaoyuan responded and walked swiftly to Yao Jinse's room.
The second prince also came to guard outside the door as promised.
Yao Jinse stared at Xia Miaoyuan in amazement, suppressing her emotions and saying, "I've always suspected that you were a unique child."
"Seeing you again, I'm convinced now that you're a weird kid!"
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Yao Jinse indifferently and laughed heartily.
This look, this laughter, has nothing of the childishness of a child, but instead carries a sense of maturity and superiority.
Yao Jinse felt goose bumps all over her body.
She stared intently into Xia Miaoyuan's eyes and demanded, "Xia Miaoyuan! Since I have the opportunity to speak to you alone today, I might as well ask you directly: do you not belong to this world?"
Xia Miaoyuan nodded straightforwardly, without any evasive look in his eyes.
Yao Jinse took a deep breath and asked, "Are you from the same place as me?"
Yao Jinse originally wanted to ask whether it was from the "modern world", but before she could utter the most crucial words, she heard a loud "beep" sound in her ears.
Xia Miaoyuan and Yao Jinse both covered their ears subconsciously.
Could it be that this is a secret of heaven, something that cannot be spoken out loud in this small world? Xia Miaoyuan rubbed his ears, which were shaken uncomfortably, and pondered in his heart.
Yao Jinse frowned and glanced around, but didn't find anything unusual.
Soon, she guessed the reason.
Xia Miaoyuan was silent for a moment, but wanted to give it another try, so he said, "Now that things have come to this, I'm just going to tell you. Actually, I'm wearing..."
Xia Miaoyuan wanted to say "I came from a book", but before he could say the word "I came from a book", a sharp "beep" sounded in the room again.
Now, she was completely certain that the secret of traveling through a book was not allowed to be revealed in this small world.
Yao Jinse shuddered and murmured, "Why is this happening..."
Although Xia Miaoyuan was small, she seemed much calmer than Yao Jinse at the moment. She smiled and said, "Perhaps, every world has its own rules. Since we are in this world, we just need to abide by its rules."
At this moment, although she did not hear Xia Miaoyuan say in person that she had traveled through time from modern society, Yao Jinse was already convinced that the little guy in front of her was a time traveler just like herself.
Moreover, the soul residing in her body is a mature one, far from that of a four-year-old child.
"Hahaha, it's true." Yao Jinse laughed.
"It seems that my mother and I were right."
Having said that, Yao Jinse looked at Xia Miaoyuan with hostility in her eyes.
"However, I really can't understand why fate is so unfair to us since we are the same kind?"
"When you were born, you were the eldest princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, a precious and honorable person. You grew up like the moon surrounded by stars. But I was stuck in the mud from the beginning."
"I've worked so hard and endured so much pain, finally meeting my soulmate and accompanying him on his quest for the throne. But now, I find myself in such a miserable state."
"Why? Why? God, you are blind!" Yao Jinse's tone was a little crazy.
Xia Miaoyuan looked at her indifferently, sighed and said, "You've spent nearly 20 years in this world, haven't you woken up yet?"
"The reason you are in this situation now is not fate, but your own choice."
When Yao Jinse heard this, she bit her lip silently, as if she was touched.
Xia Miaoyuan continued, "It's the most foolish thing for a woman to spend the rest of her life relying on a man!"
"Is this the only education you received that teaches you to behave like this?"
Yao Jinse understood that the education Xia Miaoyuan was talking about was the education she received in modern society.
Hearing this, she felt guilty.
After she traveled through time, she was sold to a poor family and raised as a skinny horse in Yangzhou. It seemed as if the thoughts in her mind had been assimilated.
Like those skinny horses, she was thinking about her future among the men who came to see her one after another, considering which man could bring her a more stable life.
This is indeed contrary to the independent thinking of modern women.
She should find a way to escape and gain freedom.
However, she really had no choice in that environment.
Since she couldn't run away, she could only submit to the rules there.
Thinking of this, Yao Jinse sneered and said, "That's easy for you to say. You're not me. You haven't experienced those things, so how can you understand my pain?"
"I had no choice in that situation. Liang Chaozong was my best destination. He was my salvation."
