"Shentang."
"Mother!"
Following Dongfang Hong's order, the guards tied stones around the bamboo cage that held the woman.
Dongfang Xunyi struggled to break free from Dongfang Hong's hand, and with all his strength, he ran towards the woman who was sinking into the water.
However, he was young, and his short legs could not run as fast as the bamboo cage sinking.
Li Xia knew very well that she had no way to change what had happened.
But she still wanted to try her best.
Although this is just a dream of Dongfang Xunyi.
If I can help him to dream back to his childhood and have fewer regrets, then everything I have done will be worth it.
"Host, please be careful." The system reminded.
"Um."
Li Xia quietly moved to the other side of the pond, raised her head and swallowed the breath-holding pill given to her by the system.
The crowd gathered on the shore and no one paid attention to where she was going.
After half a cup of tea.
“Huh~”
Li Xia swam a little further away and poked his head out of the water.
"System, there is no one underwater."
She dived into the water and found the bamboo cage empty. The princess tied inside suddenly disappeared.
Li Xia naturally didn't believe in ghosts and gods.
She had a bold guess.
perhaps.
The protagonist's mother is not dead, she is very likely still alive.
The system saw Li Xia's expression and said, "Host, what you mean is..."
The system paused.
However, it knew exactly what Li Xia was thinking.
"Well, I think Princess Hong is still alive."
Li Xia told the system her guess.
After she dived to the bottom of the water, she carefully looked at the bamboo cage that sank there.
When Princess Hong was thrown into the pond, her hands and feet were tied.
Especially her hands.
He was tied up behind his back.
In this position, still in the water, there was no way she could save herself.
That's the biggest possibility.
Someone saved her.
As for who this person is, Li Xia has no idea yet.
But she was able to find this clue in Dongfang Xunyi's dream, which proved that as long as she was careful enough, she could follow the clues to find the cause.
Wait until someone is found to save Princess Hong.
Finding the princess is just around the corner.
"Host, it seems that you insisted on going into the water this time and got some unexpected gains." The system praised.
If the host hadn't suggested that she give it a try.
The moment everyone saw the hero's mother sinking into the pond, they all thought she would die in the water.
Of course it includes this.
Li Xia climbed out of the water, her clothes were soaked and dripping with water.
She asked the system uncomfortably: "System, can you control me to get out of the dream of the hero of the world first? My clothes are all wet and sticky, which is a bit uncomfortable."
Besides being uncomfortable.
She still had to go meet Dongfang Xunyi, and she looked soaking wet, so it wasn't suitable for her to meet anyone.
"Host, there's no need to be so troublesome."
"Just do it?"
Lixia blinked.
The system only took her a word to say that her clothes, which were dripping with water just now, were now the same as before she went into the water.
Dongfang Hong witnessed the bamboo cage sinking into the water and then left the scene.
The people who were watching the excitement gradually dispersed.
Only Dongfang Xunyi stared at the water surface which had returned to calm with a dull look.
Just a little bit.
Almost...
"Prince, it's time for you to return home." The guard stood behind Dongfang Xunyi.
Dongfang Xunyi didn't even raise his eyelids and turned a deaf ear to what the guards said.
"System, do you have a way to lure those two guards away?"
Li Xia was in a secluded corner. She saw the two guards following closely behind Dongfang Xunyi and she felt that they were both in the way and an eyesore.
"No problem, host, don't worry." The system is very confident.
Li Xia nodded, "Yeah."
After a while.
The guard disappeared right under Li Xia's nose.
Li Xia was stunned.
But when she thought about it, she realized that the system could even do something as incredible as entering a dream.
Then it can bring people back to life in dreams.
It is probably not a difficult task for the system.
Li Xia approached Dongfang Xunyi, who was like a stone sculpture, without any movement.
She raised her hand and gently patted Dongfang Xunyi's shoulder, "Dongfang Xunyi."
Li Xia called out his name, just like the first time she met him in a dream.
When Dongfang Xunyi heard a familiar voice coming from behind him, his small body stiffened and he turned his head mechanically.
"You..." He saw the metal mask on Li Xia's face, "You are here."
Dongfang Xunyi's pretended strength collapsed the moment he saw Li Xia.
His shoulders were shaking and his little head was drooping low.
"I don't have a mother anymore..."
Dongfang Xunyi showed his vulnerability in front of Li Xia.
He was born the son of a prince, the heir apparent of the royal palace.
When he was still a toddler, Dongfang Hong arranged for someone to teach Dongfang Xunyi the rules of being a crown prince.
As a royal relative.
The first rule is that you cannot show your joy on your face.
Li Xia squatted down, opened her arms, and gently held Dongfang Xunyi in her arms, "Don't be sad, I will be with you."
She did not tell the male protagonist of the world about her guess.
Li Xia wanted to wait until he was sure before telling Dongfang Xunyi.
She patted his back gently, like a mother coaxing her child.
Dongfang Xunyi fell into a soft embrace.
