The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

"The herb that goes best with Jingtian is Xuejian! Right?"

Yun Shang was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

Yu Ruyi then said excitedly: "In addition to Jingtian, do we also need to pair Zixuan and Xu Changqing, as well as Chonglou and Longkui?"

"Princess, are you..."

Yun Shang nodded, "I am."

"If you have any questions, talk to me tomorrow."

After Yu Ruyi confirmed her guess, she left excitedly. She had so much to say, but she didn't know where to start. In addition, the princess looked very tired, so she left first.

In the bedroom, Zhao Qiyan held Yun Shang in his arms, and the two of them lay face to face on the bed to rest.

Zhao Qiyan asked, "That last question was to test Lin Zhiyi's identity? What did you find out?"

Yun Shang sighed softly, "It's confirmed, Lin Zhiyi is not a time traveler."

Zhao Qiyan hummed softly and smiled faintly, "Why is Rhodiola Rosea paired with Parviflora? What's the secret code behind this? The answer isn't in my collection of secret codes for time travelers."

Yun Shang smiled slightly, "In fact, not all time travelers can answer this question. After all, not everyone watches dramas."

It was late at night, everything was silent, and the moonlight fell like water in front of the window. Yun Shang slowly told the story of the exciting and fantastical sword that saved the world. The two of them slept together and gradually fell asleep.

In the dream, Yun Shang seemed to have become one of them. During the three hundred days on earth, she was carrying the lives of all the people of Yu Kingdom on her shoulders.

From that day on, Zhao Qiyan became extremely busy in the following few days.

Occasionally, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she would feel a cool breeze, and then she would vaguely feel someone gently crawling into the bed, gently hugging her from behind and falling asleep together.

But every time the first ray of sunlight shone into the room in the early morning, when Yun Shang slowly woke up, there was no one beside her. Zhao Qiyan had gotten up and left early to devote himself to the complicated affairs of the court.

Faced with the affairs of the court, Yun Shang knew that she was powerless and could not offer any advice or effective suggestions.

Although she was extremely anxious, she knew that these military and national affairs were not something she could interfere in.

So she shifted her attention to another thing - paying close attention to Lin Zhiyi's every move.

It's strange to say, but during this period of time, Lin Zhiyi suddenly became quiet, either because she had already realized the current situation or was secretly planning some conspiracy.

For several days in a row, Yun Shang searched everywhere in the mansion, but could not find Lin Zhiyi.

On the contrary, the woman named Yu Ruyi would come to visit Yun Shang almost every day.

Seeing Yu Ruyi dressed up to come to her again, Yun Shang sighed, "What do you want to say? Every day you come to tell me about your past with the prince, so what?"

"Bai Yueguang is back, do you want me to give up my seat?"

Yu Ruyi was stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips and walked to the chair next to her and sat down. "Actually, I don't like Zhao Qiyan."

After saying that, she felt something was wrong and added, "It's not that I don't like it at all, I just like it a little bit."

"I told you all that because I wanted you to help me analyze whether I've taken the wrong path."

Yun Shang was confused. "Wrong road? What road? Do you think now that you saved the wrong person when you saved Zhao Qiyan?"

Yu Ruyi lowered her head, looking somewhat depressed. "I used to think that Zhao Qiyan was the lucky child of this world. As long as I could conquer him and make him fall in love with me, I could escape from this world and return to my original world."

"Also, among the time travelers I've met, many say this is a game world, while others say it's a world from a book. In short, you can go home after completing the game."

"But when I found out that you were also a time traveler, and that you had won Zhao Qiyan's heart but didn't return home, I began to wonder if I had played the wrong game."

Yun Shang looked at Yu Ruyi's blank expression and murmured, "Game?"

"You treat everything here as a game, so the people of Yu Country are just dispensable NPCs, right?"

Yu Ruyi nodded, then shook her head, "It seems so, but not completely."

"Anyway, I think these supporting characters are all very vivid, and everyone should have their own story trajectory, so I won't interfere with their lives at will, let alone harm their lives."

Yun Shang squeezed her eyes shut tightly and took a deep breath, trying to suppress the images in her mind, but they kept flooding back like a tide. Behind her closed eyes, the tragic scene of Brother Liu's family in Beishan Village clearly emerged again.

She could still see Brother Liu's honest and simple smile, and his voice affectionately calling her name; the figure of her sister-in-law gently caring for the children, and the children's innocent laughter...

However, these once vivid and beautiful scenes have now been torn apart by cruel reality, replaced by blood all over the ground, broken bodies and desperate cries.

Yun Shang's body trembled involuntarily. She could never forget the fear deep in her heart when she hid under the bed.

The deep fear of an unknown fate haunted her like a shadow, and she still felt scared when she thought about it.

All of this was incredibly real and unforgettable, and it clearly told Yun Shang a fact: this was by no means a simple game, and the people of Yu Country were not virtual characters (NPCs) that could be manipulated and disposed of at will by others.

Finally, Yun Shang slowly opened her eyes, looked at Yu Ruyi with a determined gaze, and said softly, "I don't know why you think that as long as you complete this so-called game, you can return home safely, but I can tell you clearly that no one can leave here alive. Death is the only way out."

After hearing these words, Yu Ruyi, who was originally surprised, seemed to lose all her strength in an instant, and her expression became visibly lonely and depressed.

She murmured to herself, "So, I'll never have a chance to go home?"

"Bai has been trying to woo Zhao Qiyan for so long. Come to think of it, you're quite amazing. You've been able to hide your identity for so long." As she spoke, Yu Ruyi expressed her admiration for Yun Shang again.

Yun Shang had already told Yu Ruyi about her situation. When she heard Yu Ruyi praising her, she smiled and said, "I was just trying to save my life."

When the two of them finally told each other everything honestly, Yun Shang felt that the extremely heavy stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.
