The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

"Hmm, you usually seem so composed that we all forgot you're still a naive kid. You must have been terrified yesterday!"

After taking Wang Xiyue's pulse, Li Zhengji was a little puzzled.

"You're physically fine, you're just a little troubled. Why do you have so many worries at such a young age? Sigh!"

Li Zhengji truly didn't understand why a young girl's emotions were fluctuating so much; anyone who didn't know better would think she had experienced some great joy or sorrow.

"I'll prescribe some medicine for you, but it's just an aid. You need to relax and not overthink things like an adult. Pushing yourself to the limit isn't a good thing."

"Thank you, Uncle Li!"

Wang Xiyue had nightmares for most of the night and is now in poor spirits, so her answers are weak and listless.

The little girl in her dream seemed to be one with her. She watched the various hardships the little girl went through, seeing the little girl all alone, without fine clothes and food, without friends, without the love of family. She seemed to be an abandoned orphan, out of place with her surroundings, and she inexplicably empathized with that loneliness.

Wang Xiyue hasn't fully emerged from the dream yet, and she has a premonition that this dream might follow her for a very, very long time.

"Thank you, Brother Li!" Wang Boxing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a health problem for his daughter, it wasn't a big deal yet. He could also have more time to think about how to prevent such a thing from happening again.

"Thank you so much, brother. I'm really sorry to bother you so late at night!" Li Lingling then sincerely thanked and apologized.

Li Zhengji handed the prescription to Wang Boxing and carefully explained, "Alright, don't be so polite! It's good that Yueyue is alright. Here's the prescription. It's too late now, we can decoct the medicine tomorrow. Let the child get some sleep now!"

"Don't worry! The child is fine. I'm leaving now, you don't need to see me off."

Wang Boxing didn't stand on ceremony with Li Zhengji, and simply instructed the steward to escort him home, saying, "Uncle Wang, please escort Brother Li back for me. Be careful."

"Yes." Butler Wang Yi acknowledged the order and saw the person out.

"Yue'er, go to sleep! Mother will stay here with you. Husband, you go back to your room first. I'll come back when our daughter is asleep."

"Okay. Don't be afraid, Yue'er. Daddy's here for you." Wang Boxing comforted his daughter and then left the room.

Li Lingling carefully wiped the sweat off her daughter's face with a hot towel and, together with the maid, changed her daughter into a dry set of clothes.

"Go to sleep! Mother is watching over you." Li Lingling sat by the bed and gently held her daughter's hand.

"Mother, it's so good to have you!"

After all that commotion, Wang Xiyue was exhausted and fell asleep soon after.

"Qiuye, you stay here and watch over Miss. Xiayi, come out with me."

After giving her instructions, Li Lingling left with Xia Yi, wanting to know what had happened to her daughter last night.

Once the two returned to the main courtyard, Li Lingling couldn't wait to ask, "Xia Yi, tell me everything you know from beginning to end."

Xia Yi thought to herself that in all her years of life, this was the first time she had ever seen someone with such a miraculous thing on their body, possessing two special marks at the same time, one cold and one hot.

The young lady had a red flame mark on her forehead, and another one had a blue teardrop mark on her chest.

She thought of the extraordinary signs that appeared at her young lady's birth; perhaps her young lady was a fairy descended from heaven.

Miss is definitely the most unique person in the world!

"Miss slept quite soundly in the first half of the night. It wasn't until the second half of the night when I got up to check on her that I found she was sweating profusely. At first, there was only a very faint flame mark on her forehead, but soon after, the mark became as bright red as a real flame. When you came over, the color was at its darkest. Finally, when Miss woke up, the mark on her forehead began to fade, and it had completely disappeared when I left the room just now."

Li Lingling was puzzled. "So, the mark on Yue'er's forehead gets deeper and deeper with the nightmares, and then fades away completely when she wakes up?"

Wang Boxing thought of something he had forgotten for a long time, "Madam, I suddenly remembered something, perhaps the time has come."

Only after her husband reminded her did Li Lingling suddenly remember the prophecy of the Master of Guozhao Temple.

But as a mother, she certainly didn't want to be separated from her daughter so early, nor did she want to see her daughter suffer like this every day. She only hoped that her daughter would always be safe and healthy.

She was torn. "Master Zhishan once said that Yueyue should go to a temple to practice when she turns ten, but she's only nine now. How could she suddenly..."

Wang Boxing held his wife's hand and said, "Ling'er, our daughter has always been strong and independent. She will get through this."

He thought that his daughter must have been strongly stimulated by the matter of Dongfang Yu, which was why Master Zhishang's Buddhist beads could not suppress the evil energy in her body.

As the person involved, he was also greatly affected, while his wife did not witness it firsthand, so it is normal that she did not expect this reason.

However, Wang Boxing was unaware that his daughter had already given away the Buddhist beads; if he knew, he would be so angry he would suffer internal injuries.

"Xia Yi, go back and take good care of Miss. Report back to me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

After giving his instructions, Wang Boxing pulled his wife into the inner room to rest. Afraid that she would overthink things, he directly stated the facts: "Alright, don't overthink it. Didn't Brother Li just say that our daughter isn't sick? She just had a nightmare. It's a psychological issue. She'll be fine after taking her medicine when she wakes up tomorrow."

"I know, but we're about to take her to the temple, and I..."

The thought of being separated from her daughter made Li Lingling's heart ache.

"When children grow up, they will have to walk their own path."

“We can’t protect her forever. You have to have faith in our daughter. She’s so strong, she can definitely take care of herself. Guozhao Temple isn’t far away, so you can visit her anytime you miss her.”

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Go to sleep early, and we'll make more detailed plans tomorrow!"

Wang Boxing offered his wife heartfelt words of comfort, while also comforting himself. How could he not worry about his precious daughter whom he had raised with such care? But for now, he could only take it one step at a time.

Day two.

It was already bright daylight, but Wang Xiyue was still fast asleep, perhaps because she had a nightmare last night and didn't get enough sleep.

"Ling'er, have breakfast first, let Yueyue rest a little longer. There are still many things for you to do today." Seeing that his daughter wouldn't wake up for the time being, Wang Boxing could only urge his wife to eat early to conserve her energy.

"Husband, are we sending Yueyue to Guozhao Temple today?" Li Lingling was at a loss for what to do about the upcoming separation. She was not prepared at all. On the one hand, she was worried that her daughter was too young to be separated from her parents and that she would be afraid. On the other hand, she was worried that her daughter would be haunted by nightmares like she had last night.

"Yes. Ling'er, we must trust our daughter. Separation is not a bad thing; it's for her better protection. Besides, she will definitely grow into an even better person under Master Zhishang's tutelage."

More than the heartache of separation, Wang Boxing was worried about his daughter's uncontrollable nightmares, lest things get worse and something unexpected happen. That's why he decided to send his daughter to see Master Zhishang today.

"Sister Xia, you haven't slept all night, go and rest. I'm fine now." When Wang Xiyue woke up, she felt dizzy and her head felt stuffed with a lot of things. The dream she had last night was still vivid in her mind.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Xia Yi sitting wearily on the edge of the bed. Her obvious dark circles under her eyes clearly showed that she had barely slept last night and must have stayed up all night watching over her.

"Miss, you're finally awake! That's wonderful! Is anything bothering you? I'll go and inform Madam and Master right away."

"The master and madam came to see you earlier, but you haven't woken up yet, so they went to have their meal first."

"Miss, I'm not tired right now. Let me get you some water to wash up."

After Xia Yi finished speaking, she quickly went out to prepare toiletries.

Normally, they wouldn't need to watch over her all the time, but last night was different. So Xia Yi and Chun Jing decided to take turns looking after the young lady, one hour each, so that they could both keep up with her energy and keep an eye on her health.

She calculated that Chunjing should be arriving soon to take her place, so she wasn't in a hurry to go back and rest.

Wang Xiyue was somewhat listless, so she sat up and leaned against the headboard, thinking about last night's dream by herself.

The first half of the night was a lonely and helpless little girl, and the second half of the night was a wise and experienced old man.

Wang Xiyue didn't know how to help the little girl, and felt frustrated by her helplessness.

"Good child, remember, only by letting go of the past and moving forward can you find happiness. Don't be afraid!"

She still remembers the old man's words perfectly. Although she doesn't remember the specific events that happened, she remembers those words.

Why should I let go of the past? I have a loving mother, father, and brother, and I have no worries about food or clothing. Isn't this kind of life happy?

However, she thought of Dongfang Yu, who was certainly unhappy, and also of the powerful Ling family, which made her even more agitated.

There's nothing I can do right now, so thinking too much is pointless. Since I'm here, I'll just accept it and deal with whatever comes my way.

She took a deep breath, slowly relaxed her tense emotions, and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Miss, you can wash up now."

Xia Yi came in carrying hot water and a towel. Knowing that her mistress didn't like being waited on, she automatically stood aside and waited for instructions.

Xia Yi felt very lucky to have met such a kind and considerate master in her life.

Apart from being closer to the master, mistress, and young master, the young lady kept a certain distance from everyone else. After the age of six, she basically did not need maids to help her dress or wash herself.

The maids all felt that they must have been incredibly lucky in their past lives to be able to take care of their mistress.

"Put it on the shelf, and then get me another piece of clothing."

After washing up, Wang Xiyue went to the side hall.

"Mother, Father, Brother," Wang Xiyue greeted obediently.

"Yueyue, come here. Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Li Lingling lovingly reached out and pulled her daughter to sit down. She carefully looked her over and felt heartbroken seeing that her daughter's face was still pale.

Wang Xiyue was most afraid of her mother crying, so she quickly explained, "Mom, I'm fine. I just didn't sleep well last night, I'll be fine after a nap."

"Yueyue, Dad said you were sick last night, is that right? I didn't even know." Wang Xijie felt a little wronged, as no one had informed him.

"You brat, what good is it to wake you up in the middle of the night? You don't even know how to treat a doctor." Wang Boxing really wanted to kick his son.

"Brother, I'm fine. I just had a nightmare, and I felt completely better when I woke up this morning," Wang Xiyue replied with a smile.

Wang Xijie opened his mouth, ready to express his opinion and protest.

"Shut up, you brat! Don't bother Yueyue!" Wang Boxing yelled at his son, immediately interrupting his son who was about to launch into a long speech. He really had no sense of propriety at all; didn't he see that his daughter didn't want to talk?

"Yueyue, have breakfast first. After you finish eating, your father and mother will discuss something with you."

I got up too late. Now it's really important to eat. Only when I'm full will I have the energy to solve any problems.

Wang Xiyue nodded and silently and quickly ate the food her mother added to her bowl. She was not picky about food; as long as the taste was acceptable, she would eat any kind of food, whether it was meat or vegetables. Moreover, her mother was so meticulous that she always picked out her favorite dishes.

Perhaps due to excessive mental exertion, Wang Xiyue ate twice as much as usual. Her brother arrived a little later, and boys tend to eat more, so they both put down their chopsticks around the same time, a rare occurrence for them to finish eating at the same time.
