"Did you guys find out anything? Who was that uncouth girl?”Princess Zhen glared at the servant girl in front of her in anger.
The servant maids fearfully scanned the room that was ravaged by Zhen Gege, and all of them were on tenterhooks.
One of the servant girls boldly walked in front of Princess Zhen and stammered," Ge Ge…I've already asked…Little Blessing who's beside Baylor Yun. He said…he said…"
Before she could finish her words, the furious Zhen Gege had already slapped the servant girl's face." You're stuttering. How can I understand?!"”She sat on the chair angrily and kicked away the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
The servant girl held back her tears and did not dare to cry out loud. She swallowed hard and choked,"That girl's name is Xian Xian…I heard that she's the savior of Baylor Yun, so I brought her back.”She quickly finished speaking in one breath. She, who was almost scared out of her wits, quickly retreated to the back, afraid that she would be implicated again.
" She's his savior?" Ge Ge frowned and pondered. Humph! Just because she was the savior of the Defender General?”
"Little Blessing said it herself." The servant girl hid behind him and answered.
Lady Zhen narrowed her eyes, her willow-moon-like eyebrows curved provocatively." In my opinion, things are definitely not that simple.”She suddenly turned around and glared at the servant girl behind her." Go and ask around again!"”
The servant girl looked at Zhen Gege in a panic,"Gege, I don't think we will be able to find any clues even if we go any further. This is because when everyone in the Prince Wei's residence saw our appearance, it was as if they had all become mute.”
Gege's expression changed drastically as she slammed the table angrily." How dare they treat my people like this!”
"No…Ge Ge, please calm down. I'm guessing that they're afraid of offending Ge Ge, so they're wary.”The servant girl's face was filled with fear.
"Afraid of offending me?" Lady Zhen sneered in disdain.
Another servant girl approached Zhen Gege and gently massaged her shoulders." Gege, since the Cloud Prince has returned, the wedding is bound to happen. There's no need for you to worry."”
"I'm not worried about this at all. I don't think the Wei Estate would dare to openly defy the decree. However, I'm just unhappy with the concern that Baylor Yun has for that stinky girl.”Princess Zhen shouted shamelessly.
"This point is a bit too much for Yun Baylor. No matter what, the emperor has already bestowed you to Yun Baylor. In other words, you are Yun Baylor's wife, he should also care more about you.”The servant girl was afraid of angering Zhen Gege again, so she went along with her wishes.
"That's true. As soon as I heard that he was back, I couldn't wait to see him, but he put on a sour face for me to see. You even said that even if you marry me, you won't give me any feelings. Tell me, is this what a husband should say?”Gege Zhen complained.
The servant girl immediately fell silent. In fact, they knew better than anyone else that with Zhen Gege's unreasonable personality, not to mention Yun Beile ignoring her, even they wanted to avoid her.
After a long while, seeing that no one responded, Princess Zhen slammed the table angrily again." What's wrong with all of you? Have they all become mute?"
"No, we're just thinking about how to help Ge Ge so that you can calm down.”The servant girl hurriedly said.
It was said that accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger. Staying by this Gege's side would sooner or later be tortured to death by her.
A malicious look suddenly flashed across Princess Zhen's eyes." I have it. According to the rules, the Cloud Prince will definitely enter the palace to meet the Emperor tomorrow. You guys will personally go to the Wei Prince's residence tomorrow and bring that stinky girl here."”
" What?!" The servant girls couldn't help but be stunned. They wanted them to barge into the Prince Wei's residence to arrest people?
"Ge Ge, isn't this inappropriate? If we anger Yun Baylor, we will suffer.”The servant girls didn't expect that Zhen Gege would come up with such an idea.
Princess Zhen glanced at them gloomily." You're afraid of the Cloud Prince, but aren't you afraid of me? If you don't do a good job tomorrow and don't bring him here, the dry well in the courtyard will be waiting for you to fill it up!”
The maidservants were so frightened that their faces turned pale on the spot, and their bodies could not help but tremble.
The next day at midnight.
Xian Xian got up and helped Wei Yun comb his hair and put on layers of thick official robes.
"Is it always so early to meet the Emperor?" She was rather surprised.
Wei Yun smiled slightly, and the coldness in his eyes faded a little. It was replaced by a gaze filled with deep affection." This is the rule set by our ancestor. No one can break the rule."”
"Uhh." Xian Xian replied dejectedly.
Wei Yun held her face reluctantly." I'll come back to accompany you as soon as possible."”
"Yes." Xian Xian smiled happily." You look…so handsome in your official uniform!”
"Really?" Wei Yun burst into laughter and pulled her into his arms. His heart began to beat wildly again, and he stared longingly at the beautiful face in his arms." Xianxian, promise me that when I'm not at home, you must protect yourself well and not let any harm come to you."”
Xian Xian couldn't help but burst into laughter." Look at you. You're saying it as if you're going to die with me. Don't worry! When you return, I will still be as good as new.”
"I hope so. You have to remember the oath between us…to live and die together.”Wei Yun reminded her.
"I will remember." She smiled and looked back at the sky outside." It's getting late. Go back quickly. I'll wait for you."”
No matter how much Wei Yun was reluctant to part with her, he could not avoid meeting the Emperor. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek, gently protecting her. "It's still early. Let's go back and sleep."
Xianxian broke free from his embrace." If you continue to dawdle like this, you might not even be out by dawn.”
Wei Yun found it funny. He didn't know when he had become so wishy-washy." I'll be right back."”
"I understand." Xian Xian forcefully pushed him out of the room.
Wei Yun stood in front of the door and laughed. He turned around and walked through the garden.
After confirming that Wei Yun had left, Xian Xian sat on the edge of the bed with a lonely expression. Her gaze swept across the blanket on the bed, and the scene of love appeared in front of her eyes, making her blush.
Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable shudder in her heart. She pressed her hand on her chest in shock." What's going on?”
Xian Xian looked up at the mirror on the dressing table and suddenly remembered that she had brought a bronze mirror with her. Ever since she saw Wei Yun's love and care for her in the bronze mirror, she had never glanced at it again.
In the past, she had doubted the authenticity of the dream in the mirror, but after experiencing it for herself, she believed in its magic. She did not know why this mirror had such magic.
She really wanted to see if she was in Wei Yun's dream, so she couldn't wait to take out the bronze mirror, hoping to see the dream she wanted to see.
"Copper mirror, oh copper mirror, can you let me see Wei Yun's dream last night?”
Xian Xian smiled as she looked at the blurry scene gradually appearing in the bronze mirror…
In the bronze mirror, Wei Yun's tearful figure appeared, holding her motionless in his arms as if she was already dead.
When the image became clearer, her eyes widened in horror." No! Impossible…" The bronze mirror in her hand fell to the ground with a clang. She hugged her head tightly in horror." How did it become like this?"”Her shocked eyes were filled with confusion.
Xianxian sat on the ground in a daze. If Chun 'er hadn't come in with some water to wash her face, who knew how long she would have sat there like a fool.
Chun 'er held Xian Xian up in a panic." Miss, what's wrong?”
Xian Xian immediately woke up from her daze." Oh, I'm fine.”She was still feeling uneasy about the scene in the bronze mirror.
Chun 'er touched Xianxian's forehead worriedly." Miss, do you need me to call a doctor for you?"”
Xianxian looked gratefully at the worried Chun 'er and said," I'm fine. There's no need for a doctor. Thank you."”
Chun 'er then picked up a comb to help Xianxian comb her hair." Miss, your hair is the most beautiful I've ever seen. It's bright and smooth.”
"Is that so?" Her thoughts were still in a mess.
Chun 'er put down her comb and was about to take the towel from the basin when she suddenly noticed a shiny bronze mirror on the ground." Eh, why is there such a beautiful bronze mirror here?”Chun 'er bent down to pick up the bronze mirror.
Copper mirror?
"I accidentally dropped the bronze mirror on the ground," Xian Xian explained with a flustered expression.”
Chun 'er wiped the dust off the bronze mirror with her sleeve and handed it to Xian Xian with a smile." You'd better keep such a beautiful thing."”
Xian Xian held the bronze mirror in her hand, her emotions so chaotic that she didn't know what to do. Should she believe what she saw in the mirror?
"The Fujin has arrived…" A shout suddenly sounded from outside.
"Miss, the Fujin is here." Chun 'er hurriedly called out to Xianxian.”
Xian Xian hurriedly stuffed the bronze mirror under her pillow and rushed to the door to welcome the Fujin.
The Fujin, supported by a servant girl, walked elegantly towards Xian Xian.
After Wei Yun's teaching yesterday, Xianxian already knew how to greet him. She knelt down on one knee and said," Fujin, it's auspicious."”
The Fujin held Xianxian's hand with a smile." Are you used to it?”
"Habit." Xian Xian lowered her head shyly.
The Fujin carefully looked at her beautiful face again. She exuded a noble and elegant temperament, not like a layman from the forest at all. She could not help but admire her son's taste. If it were not for the Emperor's betrothal, she would definitely agree to Wei Yun and Xian Xian's marriage.
"Xianxian, do you have time to accompany me for a walk in the garden?”The Fujin asked gently.
"Alright." Xian Xian agreed happily.
The Fujin immediately turned around and moved to the garden. Xian Xian followed closely behind him. She carefully observed the grass and trees here. It was not difficult to see the meticulous design of the master gardener. Yesterday, because she had just arrived, she only had a quick glance at all the beautiful scenery. Today, she could appreciate everything here with her heart.
The Fujin held Xian Xian's hand and came to the pond. Staring at the fish in the pond, he muttered,""Xianxian, tell me the truth. Do you really like Yun 'er?”
Xian Xian was stunned for a moment before she recalled what Wei Yun had said before. "Yes, we love each other.”
The Fujin raised his head and stared at Xian Xian." What if I ask you to leave Yun 'er?”
"That's impossible! We have an oath between us, and that is…to go through life and death together, so I can't betray Wei Yun.”Xian Xian's attitude was firm and determined.
The Fujin shook his head helplessly." Xianxian, perhaps you don't know yet, but Yun 'er already has an engagement.”
"I know! She was the one who slapped me in public yesterday.”She was already mentally prepared.
"Since you know, why do you have to get involved in this mess?”The Fujin sighed.
Xian Xian walked up to the Fujin and said," Fujin, it's not that I'm being tactful or insensible today. Wei Yun and I really love each other deeply. We can't live without each other in this life."”His tone was mixed with fear, anger, and excitement.
The Fujin looked at Xianxian with a grave expression." If it weren't for Princess Zhen today, His Highness and I would have happily accepted you. Perhaps you still don't know what kind of person Zhen Gege is. His highness and I are worried about your safety, so we advised you to leave Yun 'er.”
Xian Xian replied righteously,""Fujin, don't say that I won't leave Wei Yun easily. Even if I leave Wei Yun, I'm afraid that both of us won't be able to survive.”
" You..." The Fujin could not help but get angry when he saw Xian Xian's stubbornness." You'd better not threaten me with your death again. When the Emperor sent Yun 'er to defend the border, I was already mentally prepared for Yun' er's death."”
Suddenly, a tense atmosphere pervaded between them.
"Fujin, I'm very sorry. If I offended you in any way, please forgive me.”She was the first to break the deadlock.
The Fujin couldn't help but laugh bitterly." Many things don't always go as you wish. Xianxian, you can only blame the heavens for fooling you.”
" Fujin…" Xian Xian called out in a trembling voice.
"Not good! Fujin, bad news!" Xiaofu shouted all the way out of breath.
The Fujin turned around unhappily and scolded Xiaofu,"What happened? Look at how flustered you are."
Little Blessing's face was red from running and she panted,""Princess Zhen, Princess Zhen…she sent someone to invite Miss Xianxian over for a chat.”
"Oh no!" The Fujin hit his left palm with his right hand and ordered in panic,"Chun 'er, quickly take Miss Xian Xian back to her room to hide.”
Xian Xian still didn't know the reason, but she knew that the situation was serious.
Chun 'er pulled Xian Xian anxiously." Miss, come with me quickly.”
In the blink of an eye, Zhen Gege's four maids had already approached the garden.
"Wait…"
Chun 'er and Xian Xian stopped in their tracks.
The Fujin pretended to be calm as he stood in front of the four maids.
"The Fujin is auspicious." The four maids greeted him in unison.
The Fujin made a gesture." Kaka."
"Fujin Xie, we sisters are here under the orders of Princess Zhen to invite Miss Xianxian over for a chat.”One of the maids explained the reason.
The Fujin welcomed them with a smile." Please reply to Princess Zhen. Just say that Miss Xian Xian is grateful for her kindness. When His Highness and the Cloud Prince return to the residence, he will definitely bring Miss Xian Xian to visit Princess Zhen."”
The maidservant looked at the Fujin with a troubled expression." Fujin, please be magnanimous and don't make things difficult for us sisters. If we can't invite Miss Xianxian to the residence today, I'm afraid that the four of us will die."”They begged the Fujin bitterly.
The Fujin smiled coldly." It can't be that serious, right? As far as I know, the four of you are Zhen Gege's personal maidservants. How can Zhen Gege bear to take your lives!”
The four servant girls suddenly knelt down in front of the Fujin." It's true. Lady Zhen threatened us that if we can't invite Miss Xianxian over personally today, she will make us commit suicide by throwing ourselves into the well. Fujin, please be magnanimous and let us invite Miss Xianxian over!”
When they reached the heartbreaking part, the four of them looked dejected and their eyes were filled with tears.
Xian Xian felt sorry for the four of them and sighed." I'll go with you.”
"Really?" The four maidservants looked at Xian Xian gratefully." Thank you for your great kindness, Miss Xian Xian.”
" Xianxian…" The Fujin called out to her anxiously and hurriedly pulled Xianxian aside." You mustn't go. I don't know what kind of evil deeds Princess Zhen will do to you."”
Xian Xian sighed and looked at the Fujin who was concerned about her." Fujin, thank you for your concern for me. As the saying goes, it's a blessing, not a curse, and a curse can't be avoided.”
"Xianxian!" The Fujin sighed in fear.
Xian Xian immediately turned around and faced the four maidservants with a cold expression." I'll go with you to see Princess Zhen now."”
The four maidservants immediately cleared the way for Xian Xian and led her out of the Prince Wei's estate.
"Little Fu, go and inform His Highness and Yun Baylor." The Fujin called out in horror.”Yun 'er was the only one who could save Xian Xian now. He hoped that he could save Xian Xian in time and safely.
The Fujin put his palms together and begged the heavens with a sorrowful expression." God, please bless Xianxian and let her be safe and sound.”
Xian Xian was invited into the West Warm Pavilion by the four servant girls of Princess Zhen.
Xian Xian knew that this was not a friendly invitation, but she still accepted the unknown challenge with the attitude of taking things as they came.
"Gege, good luck." The four servant girls fearfully went to greet the ever-changing and suspicious Princess Zhen.
Princess Zhen's beautiful face had a spoiled arrogance." Get up!”He looked at Xian Xian, who was standing stiffly on the spot, with contempt." Don't you know the rules? Humph!"
Xianxian understood and quickly knelt down to pay her respects." Gege, good luck."”
" Your name is Xianxian?" asked Princess Zhen, deliberately ignoring her greetings and refusing to wake her up.”There was a domineering air in her coquettish voice that could not be ignored.
"Yes." Xian Xian raised her head and stared at her without blinking.
Ge Ge glared at Xian Xian with eyes filled with fury. She grabbed the cup on the table and threw it on the ground beside Xian Xian. The cup immediately shattered with a crisp sound, and Xian Xian could not help but be shocked.
"How dare you look me in the eye. Someone come! Drag him out and give him ten strokes." Princess Zhen ordered sternly.
Xian Xian was dumbfounded. Just because he looked at her directly, he was going to get ten slaps?
The four maidservants were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. One of them rushed to Zhen Gege and begged for mercy on behalf of Xianxian." Ge Ge, you must not punish Miss Xianxian. What if Yun Baylor finds out…"
Princess Zhen was filled with anger and was worried that she had nowhere to vent her anger. She slapped the servant girl's face." You dare to use the Cloud Prince to suppress me? Even if he knows, what can he do to me?”
The servant girl retreated to the side in fear, not daring to speak up for Xianxian again.
"Men! Drag him out and beat him up!" Zhen Gege ordered angrily.
Left with no other choice, the guards could only carry Xian Xian out of the room as they were ordered. Immediately after, waves of wails and screams rang out, and the shrill screams caused one's heart to palpitate.
However, a proud and satisfied smile appeared on Lady Zhen's face. In the end, Xian Xian was dragged back to Lady Zhen by the guards. Blood vessels could still be clearly seen seeping out of the fabric of her buttocks. It was a tragic sight.
Lady Zhen sneered in disdain." If you have the guts, look up and glare at me again. Next time, it won't just be ten strokes of the cane. I'll gouge out your eyeballs."”
Xian Xian lowered her head in pain.
"Let me ask you, what is your relationship with Yun Baylor?”Ge Ge asked.
Xianxian scoffed coldly." I wonder if Ge Ge wants to hear the truth or lies?”
" I advise you to tell the truth!" Princess Zhen squatted down in exasperation and pinched Xianxian's chin fiercely.”
Xian Xian moved her head away from her hands angrily." I'm just afraid that you won't be able to take it if I tell you the truth.”
"You…say it!" Gege Zhen gritted her teeth in anger.
"Wei Yun and I love each other." Xian Xian said frankly.
"What is it? You love each other? Impossible! That was impossible! You lied to me on purpose." " You're lying!" Lady Zhen roared madly and grabbed Xianxian's clothes." No woman in this world can love Wei Yun except me."”
Xian Xian let her grab her weakly and sneered sarcastically." It's a pity that all of this is true. Not only do we love each other deeply, but we even made a vow to never leave each other and to live and die together.”
Gege Zhen was so angry that her face turned white." No! Not allowed! What right do you have? You're not qualified at all. A vulgar village girl dares to snatch my man? You're really tired of living!”
One palm after another landed on Xian Xian's face. Xian Xian bit her lower lip tightly and swore not to beg for mercy. The burning pain almost exploded her cheeks, and salty, sticky blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth.
Seeing that the situation wasn't right, the servant girl at the side quickly pulled the crazy Zhen Gege forward." Gege, you can't hit her anymore."”
Lady Zhen flung Xian Xian away angrily and stood up abruptly to glare at the battered Xian Xian who was lying on the ground. "I won't let you off so easily. You vixen, who wouldn't steal someone? How dare you steal my man!”She was so angry that she kicked Xianxian's stomach again.
Xian Xian couldn't help but cry out in pain as she curled up into a ball. She suddenly recalled the scene she had seen in the bronze mirror this morning and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The temperature of her entire body plummeted, and then she couldn't help but tear up. Could it be that she was destined to be unable to escape today's calamity?
However, not being able to see Wei Yun for the last time broke her heart.
She silently recited his name in her heart. Clouds, clouds, clouds…
Even if she really couldn't see him for the last time, she wanted his name to accompany her.#
