As I talked about New Year's Day, I unconsciously started using the tone of "I am not a person of this world".
"And there are airplanes, that's amazing. If you're in the north and I'm in the south, and I want to see you, a flight only takes three or four hours, which is about the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, to get to you. It's incredibly convenient."
"The most amazing thing is online shopping. I can just sit at home, use my phone to go online, and buy a whole bunch of things like food and clothes. I can also play games and chat with friends from other places."
As the woman spoke, her eyes shone with an extraordinary brilliance, as if stars had fallen from them.
At the same time, it's very far away.
It seemed as if if he didn't hold the string tightly, the woman would fly away like a kite.
The man finally spoke: "Do you like it there?"
Without a second thought, Yuan Dan replied, "Of course I like it. In that world, I'm..."
But I've lived here for over twenty years.
She still has family and friends in that world, so how could she not like it?
Xiao Changqi narrowed his eyes, the dark light in them sending chills down one's spine: "But what?"
"But... I don't know if I can ever go back." Deep down, Yuan Dan longed to go back.
She disliked the world's elaborate etiquette.
I don't like having to kneel down whenever I see royalty or nobles.
She dislikes having others interfere in her marriage arrangements.
Unbeknownst to Yuan Dan, as she spoke, the dull-colored bead on the little bird sleeping on the tatami mat in the study flickered.
Immediately afterwards, the invisible light quickly entered Yuan Dan's body.
"Your Highness, you will keep this a secret for me, right...?"
Before Yuandan could finish speaking, everything suddenly went black, and he swayed and fell to the ground.
Xiao Changqi stood up abruptly, strode over to help the woman up, his brows furrowed: "New Year's Day?"
The woman fell into a coma again, just like she had not long ago, and remained unresponsive.
Xiao Changqi shouted coldly to the outside, "Xuan Sun Jianchou!"
If something happened at the Prince's Mansion on New Year's Day, it's impossible for Xiao Changqi not to inform Yuan Qing.
Therefore, as soon as Sun Jianchou stepped into the room, Yuan Qing followed closely behind.
"Your Highness." Yuan Qing hurriedly bowed to Xiao Changqi before going to check on the woman on the bed.
Sun Jianchou sat on a small stool, placed a silk handkerchief on Yuandan's wrist, and then reached out to take his pulse.
Sun Jianchou: "!!"
Suspecting he had misdiagnosed the pulse, Sun Jianchou extended his index finger and probed Yuan Dan's nose.
The next moment, Sun Jianchou turned to look at the man with a gloomy face in surprise: "Your Highness, Miss Yuan... has passed away."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing was filled with disbelief: "What did you say?!"
Yuan Qing hurriedly stepped forward and, just like Sun Jianchou, placed his finger under the woman's nose.
"How could this be? Impossible... impossible..."
Unable to feel a breath, Yuan Qing staggered backward, his eyes bloodshot.
With a thud, Yuan Qing suddenly knelt down beside the bed, tightly grasping the woman's gradually cooling hands: "Yuan Yuan... Yuan Yuan, open your eyes and look at your brother."
Sun Jianchou stood helplessly to the side, finding the situation rather difficult.
When he and Luo Feng left the Prince's Mansion, Miss Yuan looked perfectly fine. How could she suddenly... be gone?
Sun Jianchou glanced at Xiao Changqi out of the corner of her eye and saw that the man was staring blankly out the window, seemingly lost in thought.
Finally calming down, Yuan Qing asked in a hoarse voice, "Dr. Sun, what happened to Yuan Yuan...?"
Sun Jianchou was also puzzled. Yuandan's pulse did not seem like poisoning; it seemed more like... he died from falling from somewhere.
