Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"I don't know." Li Huoyue threw the question back.

The Saint waved his hand and said:

"Then leave it with the Sixth Princess. It just so happens that you have been good friends with her since childhood."

Li Huoyue's body stiffened. Was he doubting her? Or did he really not understand?

Who would be friends with the Sixth Princess?

That damn yandere!

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you remembered it wrongly. The person I have liked to be close to since I was a child is the eldest princess." Li Huoyue explained loudly, fearing that the old man didn't hear him.

As the emperor walked, he perfunctorily said, "Okay, okay, then let's lock Concubine Li up in the Princess's Wuxia Palace."

There is still half an hour before the lock is locked, but it will take a cup of tea to get there.

Li Huoyue couldn't leave in a hurry. She had to let the imperial concubine eat something first, otherwise the imperial concubine might have died when Li Huoyue came again tomorrow.

"My Lady Imperial Concubine." Li Huoyue squatted beside the Imperial Concubine and reached out to pull her over. "Open your mouth and drink the porridge first."

Li Huoyue easily met the imperial concubine and she breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was really a low-level prop.

Just now she was thinking that the imperial concubine could only stay in her own palace on weekdays. At most, she would go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, or run to the Wende Hall to bring snacks and tea to the emperor. Her range of activities was very limited.

Then there must be very few tasks she can do, and she is probably even less capable than her mother.

Without tasks and points, you can’t redeem any advanced items.

This is the reason why Li Huoyue dared to really accept the words handed over by the emperor.

After all, people with Li family blood are automatically immune to low-level items.

The restrictions of the props on the imperial concubine could not stop Li Huoyue at all. She was dragged by Li Huoyue to the place closest to the iron fence, and her mouth was pried open, trying to force a bowl of fragrant rice porridge into her mouth.

The porridge did enter her mouth, but the imperial concubine's mouth was like a transit station. The porridge flowed from the bowl into her mouth, and then slid from her mouth onto her clothes.

Not even a drop went in.

"Don't be ungrateful."

Li Huoyue's mouth watered as she smelled the porridge. She had spoken for so long and knelt so many times since she entered the Wende Hall. Not to mention that it was obvious that the porridge was carefully cooked with rich ingredients, she didn't even have a sip of tea.

"Why, Madam Concubine, are you expecting some hero to drop from the sky and feed you porridge mouth to mouth?"

After Li Huoyue finished speaking, he clearly noticed that the corner of the imperial concubine's mouth twitched.

"My Lady Concubine, if you want, it's not impossible." Li Huoyue put down the bowl, picked up the Concubine's own sleeve, and wiped her mouth. "Anyway, your props are just so-so. Even I can't defend against them. And you are so weak, then..."

The imperial concubine slowly lifted her eyelids, but she no longer had the strength to open her eyes completely. Even so, she still had the energy to scold Li Huoyue:

"You... a traitorous... vicious woman! We... are truly... related! What have you been doing every day... as a running... dog for that old Deng?"

Li Huoyue picked up the half bowl of porridge again, pointed it at the imperial concubine's mouth, and said, "Drink your porridge quickly. This is not your business."

"I... don't drink."

"It seems that you can't listen to what I just said."

"You...dog..."

"Yeah, but at least I'm still alive. If I died, I wouldn't even have the chance to become a human."

The imperial concubine opened her mouth and sighed faintly, "How come you...are not at all like my cousin?"

"If it's the same, why are you still calling me a dead kid? You might as well call me cousin."

"……Pooh!"

Seeing that the imperial concubine seemed to have a good impression of his mother, Li Huoyue said again: "Drink quickly. After all, I was taught and trained by my mother for so many years. I am asking you to eat and try to survive now. My mother would make the same choice if she came."

"She...wouldn't be as cold and icy as you...and want to fight..."

The imperial concubine sighed again. She did not directly refute Li Huoyue's behavior, but protested against Li Huoyue's attitude.

Li Huoyue felt that the imperial concubine was relieved, so he didn't waste any words and stuffed the porridge back into the imperial concubine's mouth.

This time, the imperial concubine drank the remaining half bowl of porridge reluctantly.

People who are weak have difficulty swallowing porridge. They have to swallow it slowly, taking a sip and then taking a break.

The time for locking the imperial concubine was getting closer and closer. If Li Huoyue wasn't afraid that the imperial concubine would choke to death, he really wanted to force the liquid into her mouth.

After finally feeding her the porridge, Li Huoyue quickly threw down the bowl and stood up. She had to hurry out.

"You... left?" The imperial concubine was still a little out of breath, but her voice was obviously much louder.

"If we don't leave, do we have to spend the night on the tree?" Li Huoyue took two Guifei cakes and stuffed them into Xue Rourou's hand, who had curled up again.

Xue Rourou hadn't seen such exquisite and well-prepared pastries for a long time. Although her body was numb, for some reason, her nose tip felt a little sour.

"Take it away. If I eat it, you will be scolded." Xue Rourou rejected Li Huoyue's kindness.

Li Huoyue looked at Xue Rourou who was curled up into a ball. She could barely protect herself, yet she was still worried about what others might do.

"It was the Imperial Concubine who asked me to give it to you. If you want to scold her, just scold her. What does it have to do with me?" Li Huoyue said and waved at the Imperial Concubine again, "Right, Madam?"

"……Yes."

Seeing that the imperial concubine took the blame, Li Huoyue almost ran away, seizing the opportunity to get out.

Xue Rourou originally wanted to say something, but in the blink of an eye, Li Huoyue’s back disappeared.

She stretched out the finger with half of the nail removed and carefully pinched a corner of the pastry, which was her favorite peach blossom pastry.

The pink petals are matched with goose yellow stamens in the center, which looks like real peach blossoms.

It’s so beautiful, like spring.

Xue Rourou sighed.

Because the peach blossom pastry was fragile, she slowly brought the pastry to her mouth and gently took a small piece with her dry and chapped lips.

It tastes sweet in the mouth, and the aroma of milk and peach blossoms quickly spreads in the mouth.

After the first bite, Xue Rourou was no longer reserved and wolfed down the remaining two pieces.

She knew that someone would come and cover her with a black velvet cloth soon, and she would return to the dark world again, unable to see the light and perceive the passage of time.

Like a fish from the deep sea.

"Do you... want some more?" The imperial concubine saw Xue Rourou eating so happily and thought that she really liked it, so she asked.

Without water, Xue Rourou's throat was already very dry, and it took her a long time to swallow the two pieces of cake in her throat.

Hearing the imperial concubine's words, she shook her head while trying to swallow.

"What did you do before?" The imperial concubine drank the porridge and slowly regained her strength. She had rarely seen other time travelers.

When Xue Rourou mentioned this, her throat suddenly tightened. The pastry was stuck in her throat, making her gag.

She was reluctant to waste it, so she covered her mouth with her hands, closed her eyes sadly, and continued to swallow the peach blossom pastry.
