Sister, you traveled through time too?

"Have you heard? What's being said outside."

"I heard about it, but that's not our business."

"Have you forgotten how angry the emperor is? If you don't want to die, shut up now."

"But sister, I always feel that there is going to be chaos outside. Do you think it is your highness's..."

Before the girl could finish her words, another girl covered her mouth.

"Be more careful, if these words get out we will be the first to die."

"We are just maids. These are not things we should worry about. It is enough to serve the princess well. Life and death are determined by fate."

Xiao Yun'er lay on the bed pretending to be asleep. She could clearly hear the conversation of the two maids who were guarding the room.

Rumor? Chaos?

Could it be that the news has spread out of the imperial city and reinforcements have arrived?

Is it Xia Jie or Mei Shuo? Or are they both here?

Xiao Yun'er's mind moved slightly, knowing that she might not be far from being rescued.

But if that's the case, when will I be able to see the little fish again?

She must meet Xiaoyu before then, otherwise her secret will never be revealed to her.

When the imperial city is in chaos, I'm afraid I'll be separated from her, so I must let her know about the strategy in advance.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun'er's mind became active.

She stretched and looked at the two maids not far away with a dazed look.

But she still remembered the maid who expressed her concern at a glance.

If I remember correctly, this girl's name is Lotus.

Lotus is the girl who just mentioned that there might be chaos outside.

I think she is not blindly loyal, but a girl with her own considerations, otherwise she would not have said those words.

"Princess, you are awake. I will help you up."

Seeing this, the maid beside Hehua immediately stepped forward and helped Xiao Yuner up.

"Brother, haven't you come to see me yet?"

Xiao Yun'er curled her lips and pretended to be disappointed.

The maid hurriedly comforted and coaxed Xiao Yun'er for a long time before she calmed down.

Xiao Yun'er then smiled happily and sent the maid away to get her some bird's nest and osmanthus cake.

"Watch the imperial kitchen cook the bird's nest. The temperature is always wrong."

"You are careful, please help me take a closer look."

Xiao Yuner said so.

The maid felt that she was trusted, her smile became brighter, she agreed immediately and went downstairs in a hurry.

Suddenly, only Xiao Yun'er and He Hua were left in the room.

"Lotus, come here."

Xiao Yun'er called to the maid with a smile.

He Hua hurried over and respectfully asked Xiao Yun'er for instructions.

Xiao Yun'er just stared at her with those bewitching eyes, but said nothing.

After all, Hehua was just a little girl and could not stand such consideration. She knelt down in fear, looking terrified.

Xiao Yun'er just smiled and said nonchalantly: "I don't think you act or speak like a coward, so why is my son so scared now?"

When He Hua heard this, she became even more frightened and kowtowed repeatedly begging for mercy.

"Princess! Please spare my life. I just said something careless and gossiped. Please forgive me."

Lotus looked flustered and pitiful.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuner just smiled faintly, waved her hand and said:

"Alright, alright, stop pretending. We are all thousand-year-old foxes. Why are you playing Liao Zhai with me?"

"The fact that you can say something like that proves that you are not stupid, and you are not timid either."

"You are a smart man. There will indeed be chaos outside. Hu Che, who is in an illegitimate position, will soon be ruined."

"You are a smart person. You should know how to live and live well."

"I just need you to do something that couldn't be simpler."

"And this is a piece of cake for you."

......

However, Xia Jie and Mei Shuo's attack was much faster than anyone expected.

The little fish was shaken awake from his sleep.

Hu Che had just gotten angry in the afternoon, and Xiaoyu originally thought that no matter what, Xia Jie and the others would make some plans before attacking.

The news that came out last night caused a lot of commotion during the day, and now they are attacking tonight?

They were obviously anxious, probably because they were too worried about themselves.

He was also too worried about Hu Che's reinforcements and forces.

However, Xiaoyu had no idea how many cards Hu Che had up his sleeve, and his heart tightened and he couldn't help but worry.

"Your Highness, it's a mess outside, please follow me!"

The girl who woke Xiaoyu up spoke quickly.

Xiaoyu was stunned as if she was in another world. This little girl actually called her "Your Highness".

I think this must be a loyal child, but Xiaoyu doesn't want to reveal that he has not lost his memory.

It is better to be safe than sorry. She was also afraid that this was Hu Che's temptation to start a war.

"What's going on? Where's my husband? What's happening outside?"

"I'm scared. I want to go find my husband."

Xiaoyu pretended to say this, fearing that she would be exposed.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you. Follow me, trust me."

The maid said so.

Xiaoyu could hear the urgency and sincerity in her words, and wondered if this person was one of hers.

Soon, Xiaoyu was taken to a hidden corner by the maid. It seemed to be a storage room. Perhaps no one had been here for a long time, so it was covered with thick dust.

What is this place?

Xiaoyu thought to herself, staring at the maid in front of her in silence.

"What is this place? Can you take me to find my husband? I'm scared."

"Are you a bad person?"

Xiaoyu pretended to be panicked and said this with tears in her eyes.

The maid quickly covered Xiaoyu's mouth and signaled Xiaoyu not to speak.

"Your Highness, please don't make a sound. Don't make a sound."

"Otherwise, if I'm discovered, I'll die."

After the maid said this, she paced back and forth anxiously at the door.

This time, Xiaoyu really couldn't guess what she intended to do.

But after a few seconds, footsteps were heard outside the door, which made Xiaoyu immediately alert.

Sure enough, the footsteps stopped at the door.

Xiaoyu quietly pulled out the hairpin from her head, but the moment the person outside pushed open the door, Xiaoyu was stunned.

It turned out to be Xiao Yuner.

"Cherish the treasure."

Xiaoyu came back to his senses from his daze and called out in disbelief.

Xiao Yun'er was dressed in brocade white clothes and wrapped in an extremely thick cloak, her eyes remained the same.

"Little fish."

She stood outside the door and called softly.

But her eyes were filled with tears, mostly of sadness.

"Why are you here?"

Xiaoyu felt as if in a dream, with thousands of thoughts running through his mind, but he could not figure it out.

Xiao Yun'er threw herself into her arms and couldn't help but shed tears.

The maidservant was very tactful and retreated to guard outside the door, and suddenly there were only the two of them left in the room.

Silence, so silent that only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

"I knew you didn't lose your memory."

"You suffered, you suffered."

Xiao Yun'er's eyes were full of heartache. She held Xiaoyu's hand and felt the warmth of Xiaoyu.

She knew it, she knew it, Xiaoyu would be fine.

She looked at the familiar progress bar above Xiaoyu's head and tears welled up in her eyes.

Ninety-one percent.

Just a little bit closer.
