When asked why, he said that someone in the court was colluding with the King of Anguo to seize the throne of Yiguo. They had already attacked Xuancheng, and most of the country had fallen into enemy hands.
The people on the street thought he was a madman and ignored him. Unexpectedly, a short while later, the government issued a notice announcing that the current prime minister, Gu Zian, had betrayed the country and colluded with the enemy, and would be beheaded and displayed to the public soon.
A little while later, the Ministry of War posted a notice announcing that fighting had broken out at the front and that soldiers were urgently needed to be recruited. At the same time, soldiers were recruited from the four cities with the largest populations in the southeast, northwest and south.
The saying "three men can make a tiger" proved true, and now everyone had no choice but to believe it. They scattered like birds and beasts, each going about their own business.
Before long, we arrived at the Crown Prince's residence. The Crown Prince's residence, which is usually heavily guarded, was now completely deserted. I was extremely panicked.
Even though there is no possibility of us being together again in this life, even though he cut off my legs and left me to die in the freezing snow, I still can't bear to see him suffer even the slightest harm.
I searched the entire Crown Prince's residence but couldn't find a single person. My heart sank. I kept telling myself that he was alright, that he would be alright, that he would definitely be alright.
It's said that good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. He's supposed to live for a thousand years, so he won't be in trouble easily.
"Are you looking for His Highness the Crown Prince?" Princess Anguo's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Where are you? What did you do to him?" I asked anxiously, grabbing her sleeve, afraid she would leave.
"Big sister, don't you know? His Highness the Crown Prince is plotting to seize the throne and has been imprisoned. I'm about to go to the palace to plead for His Highness. Why don't you come with me?"
I…
"Miss, please don't go. Let's leave here first. Xiao Qing has a way to let you see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Qing disagreed with my decision to enter the palace. I hesitated, and just as I was about to refuse Princess Anguo, a group of young men carrying curved swords entered. They were dressed in foreign clothing and were clearly not from Yi Kingdom. They must have been Princess Anguo's private guards.
"Take them down!" Princess Anguo took a step back and ordered the guards to seize us. Xiao Qing took a blow from a curved blade while protecting me.
In my current state, I'll only be a burden.
"Release Xiao Qing, and I will stay." I stepped in front of Xiao Qing, letting the guards attack me, and tried to negotiate with Princess Anguo.
The princess agreed and stopped her men's attack.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, elder sister. Once I see His Highness the Crown Prince, I'll definitely find a way to let you two be together forever."
Princess Anguo parted her lips slightly, then smiled and said to Xiaoqing:
"Please help me tell Brother Yun that I will take good care of him and that he should not worry. Once everything is over, I will definitely give him back a complete and healthy older sister."
Xiao Qing stared at me fiercely, completely ignoring what the princess had said.
But she said to me, "You're going to abandon me again, Luo Qingyi. Do you even remember what you promised me?"
She questioned me, but how could this be considered abandonment? I didn't abandon her; I just didn't want to drag her down with me. Clearly, this princess's target was only me; she was just an afterthought.
Besides, even if she leaves, she can call for reinforcements to save me, although that's unlikely. Why is this girl so stubborn?
"I remember, you go back first, settle my family, and then come back to me. I'm waiting for you to come and save me. Remember, I only want you to save me."
