Wanyao Youyun

Chapter 26 Mourning

On this day, Wushuang was finally released by the Queen.

As soon as Wushuang went out, he ran straight out of the palace without looking back, "Xiaoju, bring my horse here."

"Yes, princess!"

……

When we arrived at the Central Square, it had returned to its former bustle, with people setting up stalls and playing here, as if the bloody incident of that day had never happened.

Xiaoju followed behind him, whispering what had happened in the past few days, including the killing of King Zhongding, the capture of the four marquises by the high priest, and the almost complete annihilation of the palace's secret guards.

"How are my brother Feng and sister Pianpian?" Wushuang asked when he saw Xiaoju was hesitant in speaking.

"I heard that all the city guards who went after them died, and none of them came back. Later, the high priest personally went to the barren mountains outside the city to search a large area, and found several large battlefields. He only brought back some corpses of the city guards. On the edge of a cliff, he found traces of horses running. According to the high priest's speculation..."

"What's the guess?"

"It is speculated that the two of them must have fallen off the cliff."

"Ah... Impossible... Impossible!"

"I don't believe it. Take me to see it."

"Princess, I don't know where that place is! And it's very dangerous in the mountains, you'd better not go there."

"I must go. Go find more people, and ask the city guards who went there that day to take me there."

"Okay!" Although Xiaoju was reluctant, she still went to make arrangements.

……

About half a day later, under the leadership of a city guard commander, Wushuang and others arrived at the edge of a cliff.

"Princess, this is it. There will be no trace of them after you get here."

Wushuang couldn't wait to get off his horse and walked towards the edge of the cliff step by step through the crowd.

"Princess, don't get too close, it's dangerous!" Xiaoju was a little worried, so she reminded him from the side. At the same time, she winked at the commander.

Wushuang ignored Xiaoju and kept walking until he would fall off the cliff if he took one more step forward.

All you can see below the cliff is a thick fog. You don’t know how deep it is, let alone what’s below!

"Have you sent anyone down to search?"

"Princess, the high priest sent dozens of people to slide down the cliff with ropes tied around their waists. The deepest person slid down about fifty feet. Everyone reported that the place they went to was full of fog and they couldn't see clearly below, and had no idea how deep the cliff was. One of the brothers didn't know what happened and didn't come back. So, the high priest didn't send anyone down anymore."

"Moreover, this place is like a huge pit. We walked left and right along the edge of the cliff, but we still couldn't reach the end after spending half a day." Without waiting for Wushuang to ask any more questions, the commander reported the results of their investigation.

"Everyone, step back. I want to be alone here for a while!" Wushuang said after a long silence.

"This……"

"Princess, you can't stay here alone. It's too dangerous. At least let me stay with you!" Xiaoju said quickly when she saw the commander winking at her.

Wushuang didn't say anything else, but slowly sat down on the edge of the cliff.

"Brother Feng, Sister Pianpian, are you really down there? Are you really going to abandon me like this?"

"Brother Feng, why are you so cruel...why?"

Wushuang burst into tears and screamed loudly at the endless fog below the cliff. He raised his head and pointed to the sky, "Damn God, why do you do this to us? Please give Brother Feng back to me!"

Until the voice became hoarse, but the sky did not respond, and the fog was still floating at the bottom of the cliff. They seemed to be laughing at Wushuang's weakness and ignorance!

An hour later, Wushuang, who had not eaten for several days, had become a little dazed. In her daze, she seemed to see her brother Feng and sister Pianpian waving at her in front.

"Brother Feng..."

Wushuang took a step forward and was about to follow.

"Princess! Don't!" Xiaoju screamed.

Just as Wushuang took a step forward and most of her body had already leaned down, a lasso was accurately wrapped around her waist and pulled her back to the cliff.

The shrewd commander held Wushuang in one hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the other. Fortunately, he had seen Wushuang's situation and had quietly slipped back to the side to make preparations. Otherwise, his family would be doomed.

"Princess, Princess, wake up!" Xiaoju supported Wushuang, who had fainted, and kept calling softly.

At this time, the accompanying imperial physician came over and took out a medicine bottle, opened the stopper and put it under Wushuang's nose.

"Cough...cough..."

Wushuang opened his eyes, looked at the tearful Xiaoju, then looked at the other people around him, "Where's my brother Feng? I just saw him!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, he looked at Xiaoju again, and two lines of tears flowed down Wushuang's tear-stained face again.

"It's all fake, fake!"

Wushuang grew up in the palace, and apart from his mother, there were few people he could talk to. Although Xiaoju was considerate, she did not dare to overstep the line.

It was not until she was five years old that she met Brother Feng, who was born on the same day as her, and who was eccentric and didn't care about her identity as a princess, and later met Pianpian, that her life began to become colorful.

Over the years, the two of them have been at the forefront of Wushuang's heart. However, at this age, she cannot accurately tell what kind of feelings she has for Feng Huan. Although she keeps talking about an engagement, she actually doesn't understand what that means!
