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 almost 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 stands in your way. You are born with..."

"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.

She had a feeling that this woman wouldn't care what she asked.

No matter how you ask, you will definitely get back to the current topic in the end.

Due to the prince’s delay, it’s getting late now, and the imperial concubine is barely alive.

It's time to go, the palace gates are almost locked.

"I know your mother is very capable." Even if there was no other topic, the imperial concubine was still able to speak, "But don't rely too much on your mother. Your mother is not some..."

Li Huoyue laughed out loud.

What the imperial concubine wanted to say was interrupted by the sudden laughter.

"What are you laughing at? You...don't believe it?"

"So?" Li Huoyue asked with a smile, "I have lived with my family for so many years, but because of you, a cheap aunt who showed up halfway, I have fallen into doubt about family affection, right?"

Li Huoyue's words were very different from what the imperial concubine expected. The imperial concubine couldn't believe that Li Huoyue would react like this. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of magic potion her cousin had given to this child.

The two were silent for a moment, and Li Huoyue walked out the door without any reluctance.

Behind me, the imperial concubine seemed to be talking to herself:

"I didn't tell a lie..."

Li Huoyue did not stop, as if he did not hear anything.

The palace is strange.

Li Huoyue was walking on the way out of the palace. There were still no palace servants around. She felt like she was walking in another dimension, lonely and without any response.

A normal palace shouldn't be like this, and normal conversations with royal family members shouldn't be like this. Everything is not as it should be.

But what should it have been like?

Li Huoyue was stunned for a moment. He... seemed to have never been to a real palace.

It wasn't raining, but the air was so stuffy it made one feel breathless.

Li Huoyue quickened his pace and walked alone in the dark.

Once again I came to Jingxuan Bridge. Just like last time, there was still a familiar carriage waiting there, and in the carriage was still a young man who was extremely curious about the bustling street market.

The boy turned around and saw Li Huoyue approaching. He waved his arms happily, and the smile on his face looked even more energetic against the backdrop of the bustling lights behind him.

It was also here that she revealed that she was capable of killing people.

She thought that what the imperial concubine said was not a big problem.

Li Huoyue sighed.

But what can we do? If we don’t move forward, we will die.

If it's really like in time-travel novels, everyone would be so hostile to the time traveler.

"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.
