Yuchi Xi didn't care about his abnormal behavior anymore. She quickly stood up and grabbed his arm to check. As soon as her hand was grasped, he stretched out his hand and broke free, "I'm fine!"
Yuchi Xi was stunned for a moment. He seemed to realize that his tone was not right, and quickly said softly, "It's just an injury from before, a minor injury. It's healed now. There's no need to worry, my sister."
"Okay." Yuchi Xi withdrew her hand and pursed her lips. "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I won't disturb Eighth Prince today. I'll go back to my own courtyard first."
"Okay." The eighth prince responded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuchi Xi walked away, the maid following behind her. After they were out of the courtyard and some distance away, she lowered her voice and said, "His Highness the Eighth Prince is very strange."
"If it were in the past, he would have come to see you right after returning. If you could check his wound, he would have been happy. But from what I saw just now, he seemed very flustered."
"And when you said you wanted to go back, he didn't even try to stop you!"
This is too weird!
Not at all like His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince.
Yuchi Xi lowered her eyes. Yes, she also felt it was strange. The eighth prince would not treat her like this.
His next action made Yuchi Xi even more certain of this. The eighth prince actually went to ask his father for permission to get married. He said that he wanted to get married and move out of the palace.
Yuchi Xi: ...
This made her feel as if the person was avoiding her.
Yuchi Xi had no choice but to send someone to investigate secretly, and found that the eighth prince's habits were completely different from before, and he was still pretending when he was in the palace.
After leaving the palace, she stopped pretending at all, and the food she ate was completely different from what she ate normally.
My preferences have changed...
Yuchi Xi had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to go.
Without giving her a chance to think too much, the other royal brothers were sent out one by one. Her brother also went. It was said that something happened at the border. She waited and waited, thinking that with the strength of her brothers, they would be able to come back soon.
But they didn't come back.
Not one came back.
My father also went, and my mother and Concubine Liang also followed.
The Queen Mother could control people with the sound of her music, so Concubine Liang brought a lot of silver and money with her.
Yuchi Xi looked at the desolate palace. For some reason, she vaguely guessed the end of the Yuan Dynasty. She thought, she should do something.
She took the Empress Dowager out of the palace, rented a courtyard for her in a remote place, arranged for the Royal Guards to protect her, gave her enough money to live on for the rest of her life, and then left.
She went all the way to the border, that's where she was going.
Even if what she saw in the end were their corpses, she should go. If she didn't go, who would take them home?
Yuchi Xi met many people along the way. When she was dizzy from hunger, a man selling sugar paintings handed her a three-dimensional phoenix. Yuchi Xi refused, saying, "I don't have any money right now."
"No money."
The man smiled innocently, "I see you seem to be unable to hold on any longer, and I'm out of food. I only have this little bit of candy left, just enough to draw a phoenix. I see you're not an ordinary person, so I'll give you this phoenix. I hope you don't despise it."
As he spoke, his tone was filled with regret, "I have lived in Yuan Kingdom for so many years, and I always thought that Yuan Kingdom would continue to prosper. I didn't expect..."
"Oh! That's all!"
Yuchi Xi took it and said, "Thank you. The Yuan Kingdom is in trouble now. You should find another country as soon as possible and go there!"
The man shook his head slightly. "My ancestors have all been Yuan people. Even if I die, I will die in Yuan."
Yuchi Xi lowered his eyes, "No, you have to leave, you have to live, only by living can there be hope."
She secretly stuffed the last gold ring on her body into his bag and said, "If there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you with this candy!"
"If there's an afterlife, please come back to me and buy sugar paintings!" The man smiled. "I will definitely learn this skill in my next life."
"It's a pity. I only recently learned how to paint with sugar, and I won't have the chance to show it off in the future..."
“There will be…”
Yuchi Xi said nothing more and walked away while biting the candy painting.
Along the way, she met many people who were willing to help her, got acquainted with a man who was said to be immortal, and even met the boy whom she had only caught a glimpse of when she was young.
The boy asked her if she wanted her family to come back.
She said she hoped so.
The boy said he could help her.
She asked, what if I want to resurrect all the people of the Yuan Dynasty?
The young man was stunned for a moment, "It's not impossible, but you may not be able to be resurrected."
"That's all right." Yuchi Xi smiled softly. "My brothers, father, and mother will protect these people until their death."
She is naturally the same.
As the princess of Yuan Kingdom, she needs to protect the people of Yuan Kingdom.
Jing Huaian told her, "I still need to prepare some things. Let's go to the border. The formation needs to be activated there."
"good."
Yuchi Xi traveled with him and encountered many things along the way. He taught her how to draw puppet talismans and how to use swords. She learned very hard and never complained even though she was covered in wounds.
Their relationship became better and better, and later on, she called him "Brother Jing".
When she arrived at the border, she realized how tragic the situation was. Dead bodies were everywhere, and the painful groans kept drilling into her eardrums. Yuchi Xi shed tears.
“Why is this happening?”
Jing Huaian raised his hand and touched her head, "Let's control the situation first."
She used the puppetry he taught her to control the situation, but that was all she did.
She had no way to help those suffering people, and at that moment, she hated her own incompetence.
