The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Your Highness: "Nanfeng won't leave. Nanfeng's life can be saved. Wherever Your Highness is, Nanfeng will be there too. Why don't we go find the Third Prince? Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope."

Nangong Yu shook his head after hearing Nanfeng's words: "No, what right do I, someone stuck in this quagmire, have to ask for help from others? My mother wants to harm his mother, what reason does he have to help me, the son of his enemy? If it were me, I would kill anyone who harms my family. Why would I help him?"

My life was destined to be a tragedy from the moment I was born, but thankfully it's about to end. I have no more attachment to this world!

Even if you live, you're just a walking corpse. But you're different. You still have Nanxue. With this money, you can take Nanxue and live a comfortable and wealthy life!

You'll never have to worry again, never have to work for anyone again. This is the life you should be living in this world. You and Nanxue represent all the years I've lived. Thank you for being with me all these years.”

If it weren't for you and Nanxue, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on. I hope you can live well and live well together, taking my place!

After this incident, don't even think about collecting my body! Let them do whatever they want with it! When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Given what that old man did, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to grind us to dust!

Anyway, I don't want to be reincarnated again. This world is too bitter; I don't want to come back in the next life! I have nothing left to hold me in this world, and my only wish, I'm afraid, can't be fulfilled!

Nanfeng was heartbroken upon hearing Nangong Yu's words: "Your Highness, what is your wish? I will risk my life to fulfill it for you!"

Nangong Yu shook his head: "No need. Why force it when you know it's impossible? You can go now. Take Nanxue and leave first thing tomorrow morning!"

Don't let her know about these things. Just tell her that I'm sending you on a mission to another region, and you're worried about leaving her alone in the palace, so you're taking her with you!

"Your Highness!"

"Let's go, I need to be alone!"

Helpless, Nanfeng had no choice but to take the silver given to him by Nangong Yu and leave the study. Unexpectedly, he saw a woman at the corner of the study.

Just as Nanfeng was about to speak, the woman shook her head.

Nangong Li and Ji Yunduo had already seen the woman; this must be the Nan Xue that Nangong Yu had mentioned.

At this moment, Nan Xue was already in tears, presumably having heard Nangong Yu's explanation.

Li Liuyun gave Nangong Li a wink: You stay here and keep an eye on Nangong Yu, I'll go and find out what those two siblings are planning!

Nangong Li nodded, and Li Liuyun left with Nanfeng and Nanxue.

Watching Nanfeng's departing figure, Nangong Yu murmured to herself, "Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday. I really want to eat the pastries my mother makes again. It's a pity that I no longer have my third brother!"

After Nangong Yu finished speaking, he took out a jar of wine from under the table, went to the corner of the wall, sat down slowly against the wall, opened the jar, and took a big gulp of wine! When he looked up again, he closed his eyes, and tears slid down his face!

Nangong Li had entered the house when Nanfeng left, and seeing Nangong Yu's current appearance, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache!

If Consort De hadn't rebelled, even if the Emperor had known about his true parentage, he wouldn't have executed him out of consideration for Consort De's life-saving grace!

But Consort De, in league with outsiders, not only rebelled but also tried to take her mother hostage! Only today did she learn that her younger brother, who appeared to be a carefree and leisurely prince, had actually lost his childhood after learning about her origins and become a puppet, a marionette!

Tomorrow is his birthday, but even the thought of eating his mother's desserts has become a luxury! No one remembers his birthday, and no one celebrates it for him. Presumably, his birthday brings him no joy, but rather the beginning of tragedy! In despair, he would think of taking Consort De and the others down with him, dragging them to hell with him even in death!

Just as Nangong Li was pondering, the door opened and Li Liuyun walked in.

Nangong Yu glanced at the door and asked, "Who is it?"

Seeing that no one answered, he stopped asking and continued drinking.

Li Liuyun and Nangong Li returned to their space and went back to the living room of the villa. The two sat down on the sofa, and Li Liuyun noticed that Nangong Li's expression was not very good.

"What did Nangong Yu say or do after they left? Why do you look like that? It's like someone owes you money. Or is he planning something bad for tomorrow?"

Nangong Li hugged Li Liuyun tightly, buried his head in Li Liuyun's neck and shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Tomorrow is the fifth prince's birthday! After you left, he muttered to himself that he wanted to eat the pastries made by Mother Consort, and that it was a pity that he would never have the chance again! I guess no one will remember his birthday."

From childhood to adulthood, it's always been either my birthday or Nangong Chun's birthday; Consort De has never mentioned holding a birthday banquet for him. And tomorrow, he's probably planning to die together with Consort De. A perfectly healthy person, unless truly desperate, why would he want to die?

Looking back over the years, although he tried to sow discord between me and Nangong Chun, he doesn't seem to have done anything that truly hurt me.

Instead, he was poisoned with a mother-child Gu venom by his own mother while trying to find an antidote for me. Thinking about this makes me feel guilty towards him! Seventeen, I want to save his life; he's only 16!

In modern times, he's just a middle school student. The events in Southern Xinjiang are actually none of his concern. If he doesn't harm the Queen Mother or the hostages tomorrow, shall we save his life?

Li Liuyun thought for a moment and said, "I can remove the Gu from his body, but look at him now. He seems to have lost all hope for life, as if he has nothing left to hold him in this world! Even if Father Emperor spares his life, he will probably just be a walking corpse!"

"Let me think. Is there anyone that Fifth Brother cares about? By the way, what did you say to that brother and sister you were with? Are they planning to leave?"

Li Liuyun shook his head: "You know, if Nangong Yu knew that besides Consort De, there were other people in this world who cared about him, such as your cheap third brother, and those brother and sister!"

Initially, Nanfeng planned to knock Nangong Yu unconscious the next day, then disguise himself as Nangong Yu, and have Nanxue take him away so that he could live in anonymity for the rest of his life.

Furthermore, I can tell that Nan Xue likes Nangong Yu, and her brother Nan Feng knows it too. Nan Xue rejected Nan Feng's advances, saying that although she likes Nangong Yu, she doesn't want to trade her brother's life for her own happiness!

She also said that Nangong Yu's heart was dead, and he had no more attachments to this world. She respected Nangong Yu's choice and didn't want him to know that she had loved him for a long time. She added that as long as Nangong Yu lived, she would stay with him; if he died, she would be buried with him!
