Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Li Huoyue looked back at the Sixth Princess in the wheelchair. Without the lantern, her facial expression was not very clear in the darkness.

There was only a pair of eyes staring blankly forward, with a little light in them.

It seems like he is envious, but also seems like he is sad.

When the Sixth Princess noticed Li Huoyue looking back, she abruptly withdrew her gaze and continued to cough a few more times.

"What are you looking at! Cough cough cough, if you look again, I'll kill you! Cough cough, I'll throw you to feed the fish in my pond! Cough cough cough!"

Li Huoyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and at that moment, she understood why the Sixth Princess always liked to go to the Eldest Princess.

Perhaps, only the eldest princess is like an older sister.

And the prince, as her brother, would only break her legs.

Other brothers and sisters also wanted to kill her.

She couldn't imagine Li Huoyue being treated like a child by her brother like she was now, because it was a scene she had never seen before.

Li Huoyue didn't look at it any further. What happened to the Sixth Princess had little to do with her. Everyone has their own circumstances.

At least the Sixth Princess doesn't have to worry all day about being a time traveler.

After getting on the carriage, Li Huoyue sighed and did not go back into the carriage. Instead, he sat outside with the second brother and asked, "Is that Jiang the friend you mentioned the other day? If so, your vision is getting worse and worse. That kid never gets anything done well."

Without Jiang Yunshu, the second brother started driving on his own initiative. When he heard Li Huoyue calling Jiang Yunshu, he laughed out loud.

"You have really acted like an adult since you were little. You are younger than him, so why do you call him 'that kid'?"

The carriage slowly got back on the road, slightly changing direction and passing by the expressionless Sixth Princess in a wheelchair.

To Li Huoyue, these words were an implicit acknowledgement of her question.

"Where did he come from?" Li Huoyue asked after they had walked for a while, his tone calm and as if he was asking casually.

The second brother knew what Li Huoyue was asking, so he smiled and replied, "It's fine where it came from, just use it with confidence."

Li Huoyue did not ask any further questions. The dark sky began to drizzle again, and raindrops fell on her face.

"When did Second Brother become so tight-lipped?"

The second brother tightened his grip on the reins and the smile on his face began to fade.

He had always been correcting Li Huoyue's way of addressing him, but now when he actually heard her call him "Second Brother", he did not feel very happy in his heart, nor did he feel that they were closer. Instead, he felt a sense of being pushed away.

"Huo Huo..." The second brother opened his mouth and wanted to explain something. However, although he was always good at speaking, he didn't know what to say in this situation.

The two of them walked slowly in the night, with no expression on their faces, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Li Huoyue waited for a long time but got no result and just felt very tired.

Someone must have taken action just now. The change in the Sixth Princess' attitude is so obvious that it's hard not to notice it.

She instinctively felt that the second brother must know, but he said nothing now, leaving her confused.

Not just today, but during this period of time, this feeling of being in the fog always suddenly appears at many times, lingering like a shadow.

Sometimes she felt as if she had suddenly realized something, but when she thought about it carefully, she always felt like she was missing a lot of key points.

This feeling is not good at all.

Not only is it bad, it is also very dangerous. Under the current situation, you may lose your life at any time.

"I remember when the third child was still young, our family went to Waizhuang for an outing. That day was your tenth birthday, and I didn't want to go at first." Li Huoyue changed the subject and spoke softly, talking about the past.

The second brother knew that this sudden reminiscing was not that simple. He also liked to talk with some preparation, and rarely got straight to the point when talking about something. It was unknown who he learned this from.

Although he knew it, he was also happy to chat with Li Huoyue.

"I remember that you thought the third brother was too annoying and didn't want to go out with him." The second brother chuckled, and they recalled this incident together. The scene at that time was still vivid in their minds. They didn't expect that so many years had passed in a flash.

"Yeah, I disliked him then, and I still dislike him now." Li Huoyue had no sense of being a younger sister. She never held back when talking about her brother. "Of course, I didn't want to go in the first place. A large group of people would be too noisy, and I didn't really like it. Plus, the troublemaker Third Brother was there, so I didn't want to go even more..."

Moreover, Li Huoyue had only been there for a few years at that time and was not very familiar with the other people. He was uneasy about the change in environment and was also afraid of being exposed inadvertently.

For various reasons, Li Huoyue was unwilling to participate in this activity, but he did not dare to pretend to be sick for fear that his family would have to ask the imperial physician. So he simply said that he did not want to go out with the third brother and wanted to stay at home alone.

The second brother's expression became softer. He tilted his head to glance at Li Huoyue. His profile, which was so indifferent and expressionless, overlapped with the small profile of his childhood in his memory. Except for being enlarged in proportion, there was almost no change.

"Well, you didn't go, and the third child was beaten up as a result." The second child's voice was tinged with laughter. Thinking of the inexplicably sad face of the third child after being beaten, he laughed out loud, "It was the mother who did it, and the third child didn't even have a place to appeal."

"It was the fourth brother who started it first," Li Huoyue added. "The third brother went to complain, and then he was beaten up too."

The second brother didn't know about this. When he heard the news, the third brother had already been beaten.

The rain got a little heavier, and the wind didn't stop. The second brother's voice seemed a little vague in the air: "...Even though they have exactly the same face, the fourth brother is quite close to you."

"We weren't that close back then." Li Huoyue said honestly, "To be honest, I even thought that the fourth brother was a bit nosy at that time."

The second child pinched his brows in a headache and smiled helplessly, "Ah, Huo Huo, sometimes, I really wonder if you are the reincarnation of a monster. You are so calm and distant that you don't seem like a normal child at all."

Li Huoyue turned his head slightly and looked at the second brother. He did not respond immediately, but waited for two or three seconds before slowly saying, "What if I really am?"

Just like before, the second child said, "...How could it be?" He pinched his brows with a headache and smiled helplessly, "Ah, Huo Huo, sometimes, I really wonder if you are the reincarnation of a monster. You are so calm and distant that you don't seem like a normal child at all."

!!! Li Huoyue turned his head slightly and looked at the second brother. He did not respond immediately, but waited for two or three seconds before slowly saying, "What if I really am?"

Just like before, the second brother still said: "...How could it be?"

Li Huoyue turned his head slightly and looked at the second brother. He did not respond immediately, but waited for two or three seconds before slowly saying, "What if I really am?"

Just like before, the second brother still said: "...How could it be?"
