Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"Based on your own conditions, you should know best whether what I said makes sense or not."

The imperial concubine continued to speak, and Li Huoyue glared at her with annoyance, but she didn't care.

"Including your brothers, all of them."

The imperial concubine chuckled twice again, just as clear and weak as the first time she was heard yesterday.

"Your eldest brother is in the court, your second brother is in business, your third brother..." The imperial concubine paused here and went on to talk about the next person, "Your fourth brother specializes in intelligence gathering, and your fifth brother happens to have a great talent and interest in medicine."

The imperial concubine helped Li Huoyue count the items one by one.

"Oh, and you, you know everything, including your martial arts that allow you to walk alone at night. But you are not bound by modern thinking. You kill anyone who gets in your way. You..."

"That's enough." Li Huoyue interrupted the Imperial Concubine. "I don't need you to explain my situation to me. Please pay more attention to yourself, Imperial Concubine. When the Emperor suddenly comes to his senses one day, you may only be able to stay with the big cauldron over there."

The imperial concubine was not afraid of this threat at all. She giggled freely and lively.

More like a mother.

Li Huoyue originally wanted to ask the imperial concubine if he could choose the body himself, but given the current situation, Li Huoyue no longer wanted to say anything more.

But she really couldn't guess why this happened.

When walking towards the prince, one could clearly see the prince's nervousness, as if the person walking towards him was not Li Huoyue, but someone else who made his brain give up thinking.

who is it?

Someone who looks like her...

Li Huoyue screened a group of candidates.

If it's because she looks like her mother...

Why didn't this effect happen at the beginning? She didn't change her face from Wuxia Palace to Changqiu Palace.

Just as he was thinking about it, the prince took a deep breath and somehow found his courage again.

He actually went straight up and pinched Li Huoyue's chin with his fingers, forcing her to raise her head.

Li Huoyue's jaw was controlled in the prince's hand, and the observation angle was adjusted as his hand moved.

After looking around repeatedly, the prince finally stopped shaking Li Huoyue's head and asked in confusion, "Strange, I thought it looked very similar just now... Come to think of it, how did you get out of Wende Hall safely yesterday with such a face?"

I actually feel like she is my mother.

Li Huoyue was surprised and pondered the prince's words. It seemed that it was only for a moment or a short period of time just now that he felt the similarity, but what did she do just now to give him such an illusion?

It’s definitely not just because of the face.

Li Huoyue looked downward. She had not looked at the prince since she knelt down. She was thinking seriously.

I think it was the period from when I was about to leave until I knelt down.

What's the difference?

"Speak!" The prince pinched Li Huoyue's jaw and cheeks hard.

Li Huoyue felt pain and his body instinctively wanted to hide such emotions, but suddenly he remembered something.

Both the mother and the prince seemed to think that nothing good would happen if Li Huoyue went to meet the emperor.

But in fact, Li Huoyue came out safely.

The only difference is——

It's emotion.

It was the "robot" performance that was created with great effort after Mrs. Jin's suggestion.

So, did Mrs. Jin consider this point at that time?

In order to verify his guess, when the prince roared at Li Huoyue, Li Huoyue did not hide his pain and emotions, but clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

Then he looked upwards with a sidelong look, a slightly angry and disdainful expression that he did not hide at all, and it caught the prince's eyes straight.

When their eyes met, the prince's hand seemed to be suddenly scalded. He threw away Li Huoyue's face, and the color on his face quickly faded. He leaned his body back abruptly to distance himself from Li Huoyue.

"You, you you you——" The prince was frightened, "Who are you?!"

really.

But why is the prince so afraid of his mother?

"Your Highness, I am Li Huoyue."

After completing the experiment, Li Huoyue did not continue, but started to perform with lowered eyebrows and pleasant looks again, as if everything just now was an illusion.

The prince was still in shock and remained stiff for a while before he slowly found his voice: "You, you..."

Li Huoyue looked at the prince again, his innocent eyes silently asking what was wrong with the prince.

The prince still sat on his throne, but he couldn't help wanting to escape.

He looked at Li Huoyue again. She seemed to have returned to her original state, but he was still unable to recover.

Before bringing Li Huoyue here, he had never thought that this person would be so difficult to deal with, which made him a little overwhelmed now.

Although this is the teacher's child, he only recognizes the teacher as a person and will not give preferential treatment to anyone because of his/her family relationship or other relationship with the teacher.

What's going on with Li Huoyue?

They look very similar, so why didn’t I feel that she looked so much like the teacher at first?

At this moment, I suddenly felt like I was possessed. It was really weird.

It seems that the teacher doesn't love her child.

The prince rubbed his temple, looked at Li Huoyue who was kneeling obediently on the ground with disdain, and sighed.

Said: "In the future, if you...ah, remember to visit that dog emperor less often in the future."

Li Huoyue: “???” Why did you suddenly talk about this?

"Let's go." The prince looked very tired and waved at Li Huoyue impatiently, asking her to leave.

Li Huoyue stood up tentatively, and seeing that the prince indeed had no other reaction, he took his leave once again.

After leaving Changqiu Palace, Li Huoyue didn't think any more about the damn prince and walked quickly on the way to Wuxia Palace.

It was already dark, and Li Huoyue felt a dull pain in his abdomen, but thinking of his adoptive aunt, he still tried to rush to Wuxia Palace.

The strange thing was that along the way, he did not encounter any palace servants or guards patrolling. It was like a secluded and wide road that had been specially cleared for Li Huoyue to run forward.

After a while, Li Huoyue came to the gate of Wuxia Palace again and finally saw a palace maid who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

When the person guarding the palace gate saw that it was her, he led Li Huoyue into the inner hall without saying a word.

Such a huge palace has no scenery decoration, it looks clean and rigid.

The palace maid led the way for Li Huoyue without saying a word, causing the atmosphere in the entire Wuxia Palace to be even more solemn than that in the Wende Palace, and there was a sense of desolation in the solemnity.

After Li Huoyue arrived at the entrance of the inner hall, the palace maid bowed and stepped back, and Li Huoyue pushed the door open and entered by himself.

The door is heavy and requires a bit of force to open.

This was not a difficult task for Li Huoyue. He supported himself on the door with one hand and easily pushed open the wooden door which was about two meters high.

When the door was opened, what came into view was the cage holding the imperial concubine placed in the center of the inner hall. In the dim light, it looked even more terrifying and lonely.

The big tripod was placed next to it.
