"There's one more person?"
Young Master Yi was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then shifted his gaze to Yi Shangyun's face and asked, "Who is the person you're talking about?"
Yi Shangyun didn't answer him directly. After a moment, she said, "Third Young Master, neither you nor the First Prince are here today. Zhu'er and I went out together..."
Before he could finish speaking, Young Master Yi was taken aback: "What? You went out?"
He silently thought to himself, "Oh no, could it be that she has already heard the news that King Xuanyuan Han of Qin is about to take another concubine..."
But looking at her reaction, expression and tone since she entered the room, it seemed that she had not shown the slightest fluctuation.
Two people who once loved each other so passionately and deeply, how can they simply stop loving each other now...?
Even if you no longer love someone, you shouldn't act so calmly!
So, is it true that her heart is no longer with King Xuanyuan Han of Qin?
Or is she still unaware of the great joy that is about to be held at the Prince of Qin's residence?
Seeing that he was staring at her face, lost in thought, Yi Shangyun called out to him several times, "Third Young Master, Third Young Master..."
"Hmm," she suddenly woke up.
Suppressing his nervousness, Young Master Yi tentatively asked, "Where did you go today?"
Clearly, Yi Shangyun was angry and extremely frustrated about the fruitless result of today's event.
So she turned around and plopped back down in the same spot, huffing and puffing, "I've been to almost every place I could have been today!"
Finally, Young Master Yi could no longer suppress his anxiety and exclaimed in surprise, "What? You've been out all day?"
She was just out for a walk with Zhu'er nearby, a very ordinary outing, and she didn't understand why Young Master Yi was so surprised and flustered.
Yi Shangyun was clearly puzzled and looked up to ask, "I was just walking around with Zhu'er, why are you so nervous, Third Young Master?"
"It turns out she was just walking around, thankfully she didn't go far by car..." Young Master Yi realized that he had almost given himself away in his nervousness.
At this moment, Young Master Yi couldn't help but feel secretly pleased and admit that, by sheer chance, Tuoba Ze had actually done something right this time.
This place is a sparsely populated area on the western outskirts of Xiqin City, not a bustling city with heavy traffic and crowds.
Finally relieved, she sat down beside Yi Shangyun and said, "I..."
Finally, a thought struck him, and he lied, saying, "This place is quite a distance from the capital, so the security isn't very good. You two are young ladies, and you're unfamiliar with the area, so I was just worried you might encounter danger!"
Yi Shangyun asked with a hint of disbelief, "That's all? Are you telling the truth?"
Young Master Yi forced a confident air and said, "Of course, that's all. When have I ever lied to you?"
At this point, Yi Shangyun finally stopped asking endless questions.
So I thought about how I went out today, originally intending to inquire about some information.
Unexpectedly, this was the suburbs, too far from the palace. Not only could they not inquire about news from the palace, they didn't even see many people.
So she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Young Master Yi, saying, "Young Master, are you free tomorrow?"
Young Master Yi, unsure of her intentions, paused mid-air with the teacup he had just received and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Yi Shangyun looked out the window towards the courtyard and said, "Although the First Prince's residence is not particularly large, it is quiet and elegant, which is excellent! It is indeed the most suitable place for me to recuperate, but it is too remote! I ran around all day today, but I came back empty-handed. Now I am much better. If you are free tomorrow, Third Young Master, could you take me to the city?"
Before she could finish speaking, without a second thought or a question, Young Master Yi slammed his teacup back onto the table in front of him and refused her: "No, you can't go to the city. You can't go anywhere but here!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun frowned instantly, scrutinized him closely, and pondered the matter carefully, as if only now did she understand.
It turned out that he had been sneaking out early this morning without saying a word and only returned at night, all to hitch a ride on Tuoba Ze's carriage to secretly gather information.
Upon returning, his reactions throughout were consistently unusual.
Suddenly, Yi Shangyun seemed to realize something and asked with utmost seriousness, "Third Young Master, is there something you're hiding from me?"
Seeing that his thoughts were about to be exposed, Young Master Yi still wanted to continue to hide it: "I...I didn't, what could I possibly be hiding from you?"
However, Yi Shangyun was quite certain of her premonition.
Besides the news about Dingxiang that she brought back, something else must have happened today, so she kept pressing her for details: "What exactly happened?"
The thought that news about the Qin Prince's Mansion welcoming a new princess to the family has been spreading throughout the city has made Yi Sanshao feel uneasy and anxious. Now, he feels even more overwhelmed with unease.
Until Yi Shangyun stared intently into his eyes, she once again uttered a pleading voice: "Third Young Master?"
Young Master Yi finally gritted his teeth and slowly spoke: "Girl, let me ask you, do you still have Qin Wang Xuanyuanhan in your heart?"
Sure enough, even now, when she hears Xuan Yuanhan's name, Yi Shangyun still can't bring herself to think of it as just three simple words, a person's name.
So she slowly looked away, turned her face away from him, and asked Young Master Yi, "Why are you asking this out of the blue?"
Seeing this, Young Master Yi gave a bitter smile to her back, already understanding in his heart: "Sure enough, even if you know that all of this is just a series of coincidences caused by the chaos of parallel universes, he still occupies a place in your heart."
Just as Yi Shangyun was wondering why he suddenly asked that question, and she herself clearly didn't know how to answer.
Suddenly, Young Master Yi blurted out, "In half a month, the Prince Qin's mansion will welcome a new princess!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun turned around and looked at Young Master Yi's face, letting out a startled exclamation: "What did you say?"
Young Master Yi remained silent, staring intently at her face, without saying another word.
But in Yi Shangyun's eyes, glistening tears instantly welled up.
Before it slipped, it quickly turned its head away again.
As soon as she turned around, hot tears streamed down her smooth, delicate face like beads from a broken string.
Yet, she silently asked herself, "What's wrong with me? The person I love isn't him, so why am I so heartbroken to hear that he's about to marry a new queen?"
After thinking it over, she finally concluded that: "No, this isn't my feeling. It must be the original owner's own feeling in this body I'm inhabiting. It must be, it must be..."
Complex and fluctuating emotions arise and fall.
"But how come I remember that before I took over this body, the original owner had been in a coma for almost a year? If that's the case, the original owner didn't even know Prince Qin, Xuan Yuanhan, at that time, so how could she have feelings for him?"
She was unwilling to admit it, yet seemed to have no choice but to.
"Could it be that this is, in essence, my own feelings?"
"I've actually fallen for someone else in this space besides Wei Mingxuan..."
"No……"
"This is impossible..."
"This is absolutely impossible..."
"Qin King Xuanyuan Han and Wei Mingxuan only look extremely similar, but they are two completely different people."
"I will never like anyone else except Wei Mingxuan..."
"Absolutely not..."
At this moment, I stood quietly to the side, watching her every move, every frown, and every relaxation.
Having long been aware of this, Young Master Yi finally spoke slowly: "Is it so hard to admit your own feelings?"
Yi Shangyun remained silent, and tried to pour tea again to hide her nervousness.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he accidentally burned himself on the stove.
"hiss……"
With a cry of pain, Yi San Shao looked nervously at Yi Shang Yun and pulled back his scalded hand.
He pulled the child in front of him and started blowing on it, saying, "How could you be so careless!"
Yi Shangyun withdrew her hand.
After a moment of silence, Yi Shangyun breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled as she asked, "May I ask which noble family the new princess is from?"
Young Master Yi answered cautiously, "She is Lu Tianjiao, the daughter of Lu Xian, the dean of Xiqin Academy."
Upon hearing this, Yi Shangyun actually forced a smile and exclaimed, "It's her! Miss Lu is indeed very good. She has a noble status and is the eldest daughter of Xiqin Academy. Her father is favored by the royal family, and her future is limitless! Miss Lu and His Highness Prince Qin are childhood sweethearts, and their innocent relationship has finally come true!"
He paused for a moment, then said, "They are indeed a good match."
Young Master Yi disliked hearing this and immediately became anxious: "Girl, why are you belittling yourself like this? If we're talking about background, have you forgotten that you are still the legitimate princess of the wealthy Dongning Kingdom? If it weren't for your insistence on refusing, you would undoubtedly be the only female emperor of the Lingkong Continent right now!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Yi Shangyun's smile vanished, and he sternly stopped Yi Sanshao.
"No!"
"Enough!"
"Third Young Master, do not speak recklessly!"
“I am not here.”
"I am nothing!"
"I am just me!"
"A stranger who doesn't belong to this world!"
"Perhaps when I wake up tomorrow, I will already be back in my own world."
"And that's the end of it all..."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Yi panicked completely: "No, girl, don't go, I won't let you leave. I know you're sad, just consider all your affection over the past few years wasted, let's start everything over, okay?"
Yi Shangyun lowered her head and murmured softly, "Start over?"
Seeing that Yi Shangyun seemed somewhat moved by what he had said, Young Master Yi continued, "Yes, let's start over! Didn't you want to go into the city? I'll take you there tomorrow. I have a way to get you into the palace. After we find out about Dingxiang, I'll take you away from here, and we'll start over, okay?"
Yi Shangyun looked into Yi Sanshao's eyes and listened to his plan, wondering what he was thinking.
Little did they know that Tuoba Ze had overheard their entire conversation inside the room.
"After searching high and low, it turns out she is the descendant of the legendary guardian who has been lost for many years..."
"How could it be her?"
"Take her away? Don't even think about it!"
