"Your Highness, the Prince Consort has arrived!" Do these men in black recognize me?
Xie Yuancheng shielded me behind him, asking, "What are you doing here?"
"I'll take you down with me."
Now he has no one by his side, and he will be too lonely on the road to the underworld. Li Ruowei is better now, and she will help take care of Yu'er.
"Haha." Lin Yu laughed as he rode over. "That's good. I don't need to go to the palace to kill you."
"Idiot." I cursed. Lin Yu's hearing is really good; he could actually hear me.
He dismounted, holding his sword, and came over: "Prince Consort, you really won't give up until you're on your deathbed."
"How could that be? I just think you're stupid. You went with a prince who sleeps with a woman, insults her mother, and is also good at opera to beat a woman who is pregnant with your child. It's truly pathetic and pitiful."
The crown prince's expression changed. He raised his bow and shot an arrow, which was cut in half by Xie Yuancheng.
"Yuancheng, how are you?"
"You two?" Lin Yu's eyes widened.
"You've never seen us being all lovey-dovey together before? You're making a fuss over nothing."
"Ying'er".
Xie Yuancheng felt a bit cold, and his face was covered in cold sweat. I had to tell him to leave quickly.
“Your Majesty, those two are rabbits. I have decided to keep the prince consort here and see what makes him so special that he can make Marquis Anle linger here so much.”
Lin Yu laughed: "I see. Le'er and I don't need to see each other through him anymore."
"Pah, shameless! Two rabble, one a cuckold, helping the man who wants to get rid of his child."
"You're talking nonsense!" The crown prince retorted angrily.
"How could I be talking nonsense? If you have any problems, come to my Yuan Cheng. If you don't, just kill him to silence him."
"I understand now. The prince consort is only concerned with his own beloved and is starting to smear me."
"What do you mean? The Crown Prince is always good at disguising himself. He doesn't dare to admit what he did. Who was it that put the medicine in Heqing Palace back then?"
If Lin Yu cares about Li Zhaole even a little, he should stay away from the Crown Prince, otherwise they won't even know how they died in the future.
"Men, capture them both alive!"
Lin Chao flew over from the other side, holding two swords in his hands to protect us.
“Since three have arrived, let’s arrest them all at once.” The crown prince’s eyes were sinister. If Dazhao fell into his hands, it would be doomed sooner or later.
Lin Yu gripped the hilt of his sword: "Your Highness."
"Your Majesty, those who undertake great tasks should not be swayed by womanly sentimentality."
When I saw that he had a dart in his hand, I quickly pushed Xie Yuancheng behind Lin Chao. The dart he threw hit me squarely in the chest, and I immediately vomited blood.
"Ying'er!" Xie Yuancheng's hand, which was supporting me, was trembling. His face was bloodless, but he was still trying to hold on.
"Master, take Yuancheng away quickly, and remember to raise Yu'er."
I'm very close to the cliff. If the two of them use the trees above as cover to escape, they might succeed. My martial arts skills are not high, and I would only be a burden to them.
"Let's go."
I turned around and jumped off the cliff, hoping it wasn't a pile of rocks below, because a gruesome death would make it hard to be reincarnated.
The wind was howling in my ears. In my last moments, I hoped they were all safe and that they could take Yu'er to Linyang or live in seclusion. It would be better than staying in the capital.
I dreamt of Yu'er when she was just born, tiny and wrinkled, with thin lips when she smiled.
I also dreamt that when Xie Yuancheng was three years old, he was happily playing in the courtyard when a group of people destroyed the Ninth Prince's mansion. My father took him back to the Ji family mansion. I was less than a year old then, lying in my swaddling clothes, laughing while holding his index finger with both hands. He, who had been crying, also laughed, like a little fool.
When I was fourteen or fifteen, I saw him and Meng Anshi on the streets of the capital. We looked at each other in the crowd, and he saw me.
All I could hear was the sound of water. I thought I was going to be drowned, so I quickly opened my eyes.
If I can open my eyes, then I'm not dead.
"I'm still alive."
This is a cave, and I am lying on a large patch of medicinal herbs.
"Ying'er~" Is that Xie Yuancheng?
"Are you a human or a ghost?" I touched his face; it was bouncy, so I pinched it a couple more times.
"You're still handsome even if I pinch you. Let me see if your bones have healed properly."
"What bone?"
Xie Yuancheng was clearly displeased: "If I told you to jump off a cliff, and Lin Chao and I couldn't even handle that group of people, would we even be worthy of being your men?"
He was so proud: "You were pale at the time. There were too many of you bullying too few. There were only two of you, so of course I had to prioritize your safety."
Xie Yuancheng hugged me and said, "The teacher was almost there. When you jumped down, I didn't care about anything else and jumped with you."
"So we're at the bottom of a cliff now?"
"No, it was Master who saved us. I don't even know where we are."
"Master, is he the pawnshop owner?"
"Yes." A strong male voice came in: "I told you two in advance to watch yourselves and not to linger too long. You should leave when it's time to leave. But you two, you just walked right into my door."
"Shopkeeper, you saved us. We are so grateful."
"Hmph, if it weren't for you saving Ji Shuang back then and sparing me from blame, and you didn't even ask for my wish, I would have been stuck in this time and space for several years."
The shopkeeper was very proud, even more so than Xie Yuancheng.
“Yuancheng, let’s go back quickly. My sister was poisoned by snake venom. I gave her a pill of the medicine the shopkeeper gave me. I don’t know how she is now.”
"If it's a small bottle of medicine, there won't be any problems. After taking it for a few hours, the person will return to normal, just like before the injury," the shopkeeper said from the side. He was very shrewd and knew that something would happen later, so he gave the medicine in advance.
"Shopkeeper, you are a very good person."
Xie Yuancheng, sitting next to me, glared at me and said, "Ying'er, he is your master."
"Oh, whatever, it's just a name, I don't care."
"Shopkeeper, you are Yuancheng's master, so you must be able to cure his old ailment?"
The shopkeeper's smile froze instantly: "If I could cure him, I would have cured him when he was eighteen."
I was discouraged; it meant he would have to live with the torment of his old illness for the rest of his life.
"Ying'er~ I'm in good health, you know that."
"Don't try to comfort me if you're suffering from a chronic illness."
"Ying'er, you're already complaining about me as soon as you wake up."
No way.
The shopkeeper twirled a walnut in his hand: "But my wife is good. She's the one who healed you when you broke your bone."
Hope rekindled in my heart: "How can I help cure the illness?"
The shopkeeper pulled up a stool and said, "Ten days ago you jumped off the cliff. I have secretly helped you move your family and friends to a safe place. You will have to sacrifice three days to come with me to 2020 to do some things."
"It's 2020 again!"
"Ying'er, what is 2020?" I told him about my soul's journey to the Ji Shuang era from beginning to end.
