The princess is killing like crazy again

Xiao Yurong took Yi Yan as a prisoner and locked him up. He would keep him in a cage when he was walking around, as if he was holding some ferocious beast.

Although no one made things difficult for Yi Yan because of Xiao Yurong's order, Yi Yan was still bored every day.

"Your Highness, you have been left alone for long enough, do you want to go and see him?" Li Yaozhi asked.

Li Yaozhi went to see Yi Yan on behalf of Xiao Yurong, but did not say a word to him. He only ordered the guards not to let anyone escape or die.

This made Yi Yan even more depressed. He was so bored all day that he almost grew mushrooms.

Xiao Yurong was reading the letter in his hand without looking up.

Li Yaozhi asked: "Your Highness, are you reading the letters from the capital?"

"...I'm reading your letter." Xiao Yurong said.

Written in the letter.

Your Highness, I am honored to receive your letter.

Show your letter and feel relieved.

After living here for a long time, I saw that Your Highness was depressed, and Shao Yan felt guilty and could not relieve it. Shao Yan prayed to God on Your Highness' behalf, hoping that Your Highness would be free from worries and live a happy life.

Now your Highness's whereabouts are unknown. We have not known about your recent situation for several days. Everyone in the army, the palace and the government is worried about you, and Shao Yan is the same.

It is difficult to write this letter, and I am filled with many emotions.

In the past, the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage between Your Highness and Shao Yan, but it was later abandoned. Rumor has it that the Li family is ambitious and only wants to marry daughters from aristocratic families.

But in fact, the clan's character is mostly proud. Your Highness once asked Shao Yan whether he thought so about this matter. Shao Yan avoided answering, which annoyed Your Highness.

Your Highness has great ambitions and is on the road to success, so naturally he does not want to enter the Li family, which is a place of trouble.

The relationship between ruler and subject starts from emotion and ends with propriety.

Shao Yan has been with Your Highness for more than ten years, sharing weal and woe, so he should stick with you through thick and thin.

The weather has been changing recently, and I sincerely hope Your Highness takes care of himself and stays healthy and happy.

I haven't seen you for a long time, and rumors are spreading. If Your Highness is in danger, Shao Yan will take the lead and I will follow.

If Your Highness returns, I will leave this letter to apologize.

Shao Yan's last work.

"This letter...ah, Your Highness, please forgive me for making a fool of myself." Li Yaozhi's eyes fell on Xiao Yurong's hand, "I should have dealt with it, but I was busy with military affairs and forgot about it for a while."

His eyes were gentle, as always, as if the life and death together mentioned in the letter were trivial matters not worth mentioning.

Li Yaozhi always spoke nicely, but Xiao Yurong rarely heard him speak from the heart.

As he himself said, he was a complete fake, just a statue of god worshipped by his family with gold and jade sculptures.

The letter contained his sincere words, written under great restraint before the moment of life and death.

Seeing that Li Yaozhi also said in the letter that he wanted to accompany her, Xiao Yurong thought of her previous life.

Based on the strange words Yi Yan said, it was proved that what happened was not just a dream, but also something that happened after her death in her previous life.

After her death, Li Yaozhi really burned himself to death while holding her.

He clearly has a family responsibility that he cannot abandon, and he clearly is adding fuel to the fire, so why does he still act like that?

Xiao Yurong raised his eyes and looked at Li Yaozhi, "You wrote this because you think you can't find me?"

"Although I think that His Highness is a lucky person, but as time goes by, everyone is anxious and I am also worried." Li Yaozhi said in a gentle voice, "If His Highness cannot be found, I will think..."

"Are you thinking of sacrificing your life for me?" Xiao Yurong asked, with tears in his eyes.

Li Yaozhi lowered his eyes, "I... just thought that if His Highness is really gone, it would be too lonely to be alone, and I would always be there for him."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if I were still alive?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Li Yaozhi raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yurong in a daze, with a tear falling from the corner of his eye.

Almost subconsciously, he reached out to wipe Xiao Yurong's tears.

He often used the back of his fingers to wipe Xiao Yurong's tears.

The status between the monarch and his subject was different. He was afraid of offending someone, and also afraid that his more sensitive fingertips would touch Xiao Yurong's temperature.

When Xiao Yurong's tears burned his fingertips, he would cry before Xiao Yurong.

Li Yaozhi is repressed and restrained, he never expresses himself, or perhaps he only expresses himself in a self-abuse way.

"If your Highness is safe..." His eyelashes fluttered, revealing a moment of confusion, "I left a letter for your Highness, not leaving without saying goodbye. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince will definitely not give up looking for your Highness."

Xiao Yurong looked at him, and he wiped away her tears. She smiled sadly, "My dear Shao Yan, you really have planned everything."

"Your Highness." Li Yaozhi gently held Xiao Yurong's hand, "I have no interest in the empire."

"Yes, you have no interest in the world." The moment Xiao Yurong lowered her eyes, tears fell.

She said: "You have no interest in the world, you got into this situation because of me."

*

On the way back to Beijing, Xiao Yurong ignored Yi Yan for a few days before going to see him.

Yi Yan was very excited to see Xiao Yurong, "You finally came to see me! You haven't come in the past few days, are you playing a captivity game with me?"

"What?" Xiao Yurong frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about? I've been busy replying to letters from my relatives and friends in Beijing these days. How can I have the time to care about a prisoner like you?"

"Okay." Yi Yan leaned over the bars of the cage, "My dear little princess, why did you come to see me today?"

Xiao Yurong looked at him, "What did you mean by those words you said before?"

"Oh, those." Yi Yan said frankly, "I don't know if you can understand what I mean. In short, I am a time traveler, that is, I came here from the future."

"In the future?" Xiao Yurong confirmed his guess. "When?"

Yi Yan was so frank that he didn't hide anything, "A long, long time later, probably thousands of years later."

"So, everything about the Chule Dynasty has become history. And you also know the ending of all of us?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Yi Yan nodded, "Yes, how can you be so sure that Chu Le no longer exists?"

Xiao Yurong said calmly: "The rule of any dynasty will end, whether it's ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, there will always be a time point. I just want the history books to remember me and Chu Le, no matter what kind of reputation it is."

"You are so enlightened, Your Highness." Yi Yan smiled, "But why don't you ask me about your own ending?"

"Because I know my own ending." Xiao Yurong said.

Yi Yan suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with shock.

Then he burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! I see, so that's how it is! I was wondering why it was different. It turns out I'm not the only one with this butterfly!"

"How interesting! It turns out that you were reborn, little princess." Yi Yan's eyes were burning. "But why are you telling me this?"

Xiao Yurong smiled and said, "You are honest, and I will tell you the truth. I opened my heart to you and told you my true feelings. Aren't you grateful to me with tears in your eyes?"

Yi Yan waved his hand, "Eh? Can't you just tell me you want to recruit me? Why are you beating around the bush with me?"

"So what do you think?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Yi Yan replied: "I originally wanted to be the lord myself, because King Wen will die sooner or later. Now I have changed my mind. It is more interesting to follow you."

Xiao Yurong raised an eyebrow, "Oh? So you are willing to be loyal to me?"

“No, no, no.” Yi Yan shook his finger. “I am just willing to follow you. I can help you, but I won’t be your slave. Whether you can subdue me depends on your own ability.”

He grinned, "Of course, if you are dissatisfied, you can just kill me. We will each rely on our own abilities."

"It all depends on one's own ability." Xiao Yurong smiled.

Yi Yan asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

Xiao Yurong said: "I have always liked to raise ferocious beasts."

"Deal then." Yi Yan stretched out a hand from the cage.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Yi Yan snorted, "At that time, we were making deals and expressing friendship, so we had to shake hands."

"I almost forgot. Never mind." He was about to take his hand back.

He took half of it, but it was held by Xiao Yurong again. He was stunned.

Holding Yi Yan's hand, Xiao Yurong said, "Deal."

"Great, great." Yi Yan asked expectantly, "In that case, should you let me out?"

Xiao Yurong said, "There's no rush. I can let you out to get some fresh air, but you still have to stay in the cage until we get to Yujing."

Under Yi Yan's suspicious eyes, Xiao Yurong smiled: "I will report to my father and show my generosity, and then I will ask you to come over."

Yi Yan's face fell immediately, "Really? Miss, you are planning to use me as a stepping stone to recruit talented people and spread your reputation of being eager to recruit talented people?"

"Or else?" Xiao Yurong remained calm, not feeling guilty at all, "I allow you to go out for two hours every day. I already trust you very much."

"Okay, okay, two hours is two hours. No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat." Yi Yan muttered softly.

Xiao Yurong reminded: "But I remind you, don't wander around. Although I have ordered you, there are many people in the army who hate you, and many of them want to take your head."

"I know, especially the young General Cui next to you. His eyes are so scary, as if he wants to swallow me." Yi Yan shrugged.

He pinched his chin, "It seems that if I say one more word, or wave it in front of his eyes one more time, he will really kill me."

"You are so bold." Xiao Yurong raised his eyebrows. "Mingyang is a general who really fought his way out of a pile of dead bodies. He hates you to the core."

Yi Yan nodded, "I can see that, but you don't know what I did before, right? I was a spy for an underground organization, um... in other words, I'm quite similar to your Fuyang Guard. So, I kill people, too."

Xiao Yurong sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, the Cui family of Yinzhou and the Fuyang Guard are two different things."

"It doesn't matter. In the end, the world will belong to the Liu family and the Dugu family, with the north and the south competing against each other." Yi Yan said lazily.

"Dugu?!" Xiao Yurong suddenly raised his head.

She took a step forward and moved closer. "You just said that in the end the Liu family and the Dugu family divided the world into two?"

"Yes." Yi Yan was shocked by her intense reaction.

Xiao Yurong stared at him closely, "Go on."

Yi Yan said: "In the future, there will be a man who will make a full-scale advance in the north and eventually divide the world into two. From then on, Chule will be divided into two, with southerners and northerners, and the Jing River will be clearly divided."

He fell into thought, "He burned the shops and hated the Chu Lenan people, especially those high-ranking aristocratic families."

"What you mean is..." Xiao Yurong took a step back in a trance.

"All the luxurious houses and embroidered wheels have been destroyed, and not even half of the mansions and gates are left. The inner treasury has been burned to ashes, and the bones of the nobles have been trampled on the streets. The streets are full of murders, and from now on the power of the nobles is gone." Yi Yan said.

He pronounced his words clearly: "All the noble families can be killed."

Xiao Yurong looked at Yi Yan, "He is..."

"His name is Dugu Ying." Yi Yan said.

"Dugu Ying..." Xiao Yurong murmured.

Dugu Ying... Who is Dugu Ying? Why is there no such person in her memory?

In her previous life, she died too early and didn’t even see Liu Pinjue become emperor, let alone what happened afterwards.

Who is this Dugu Ying who can share the world with someone like Liu Pinjue?

There are more unknown constants, and Yi Yan, as a latecomer, has no idea of ​​so many details, which means that she will have to devote a lot of her attention to dealing with Dugu Ying in the future.

Which of the forty-nine tribes in the North has such a character?

Dugu clan...does they have this department?

Xiao Yurong frowned and thought for a moment, "Is this person from the north?"

"Of course I hate you so much." Yi Yan smiled, "How come you don't know about this?"

Xiao Yurong glanced at him coldly, "You clearly know that I died early, and you don't know anything about what happened afterwards."

"Oh——" Yi Yan stretched out the tone.

That's interesting, which means that Xiao Yurong is completely unaware of the complicated emotions of the people around him.

"Alright." Xiao Yurong was in no mood to argue with him anymore and threw a key to him. "Here is the key to the cage. You are allowed to go out for a walk every two hours."

The most urgent task is to solve what she knows, after all, Dugu Ying only appeared later.

In order to fight against foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the domestic situation. She had to solve the problem in the rear first and then look to the front.

So, let’s put this Dugu Ying aside for now.

Yi Yan took the key and smiled happily.

Xiao Yurong warned: "Don't run around, and don't exceed the time limit. I will let the Fuyang Guards keep an eye on you."

"Okay." Yi Yan stopped laughing immediately.

Xiao Yurong turned and left. Less than ten minutes after she left, Yi Yan opened the door of the cage and ran out to wander around.

Xiao Yurong soon regretted her decision. Why did she let Yi Yan, this evil creature, out to wander around so quickly?

It's been less than three days and already something bad has happened.

It is impossible to be easily bored and keep to one's lot.

On the third day after getting the key, Yi Yan went out for a walk and walked in front of Cui Ci Ning and was caught.

Yi Yan, who was whistling and wandering around, was stopped by Cui Qining with a sword, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Yi, Yan!" Cui Ci Ning said the name in hatred, "Why are you here?"

He pointed a knife at Yi Yan, "How did you escape? Did you kill the guards?"

"Don't accuse a good person!" Yi Yan immediately denied, "I came out openly. Your princess gave the order, do you understand? She allowed it!"

Cui Ci Ning gritted his teeth, "How could she let you go?"

Yi Yan crossed his arms, "She didn't let me go, she just accepted me into her fold."

"Take you in?" Cui Ci Ning's face turned even uglier. He looked Yi Yan up and down, and finally fixed his gaze on his face. "She likes this face of yours?"

"Although I know I'm handsome, maybe she likes my talent more?" Yi Yan said.
