"He is indeed an exception - he broke through the eight passes I set up and entered the Xianle Palace in just one day."
"What does this have to do with me?" My eyes flickered.
"He came for you."
"Come for me?"
"I can see that he likes you very much and feels that you hold the happiness of his life in your hands. For this, he is willing to give his life to you."
"But he, he made this damn contract for me without asking any questions!"
"The contract was made to save your life. He doesn't want to see you die!"
"Huh?" Gong Yueyue's eyes widened in shock.
"He knows very well what kind of powerful enemy he will face, so he sets up precautions everywhere to protect the person he wants to protect the most, which is you."
Gong Yueyue was silent for a long time.
She absolutely believed that Han Jingliang was unable to protect her.
"But, it won't take ten years, right?"
"Because we have a contract with Xianle Palace for at least ten years."
"Are everyone else here like this?"
"No." The woman shook her head slowly: "You are the only exception. Everyone else stayed voluntarily."
"Voluntarily stay?"
"Yes, do you think it is more comfortable for these weak women to be here, or to wander around?"
"Of course it is."
"Yes." The woman sighed slightly: "Many years ago, I also came to Xianle Island with this wish. I wanted to build a warm and peaceful home for the displaced women in the world. I don't want to see them again.
Any insult or harm..."
"Palace Master?" Gong Yueyue was slightly surprised.
"Perhaps, in your opinion, you feel that I have imprisoned them all their lives and destroyed their hopes, but you don't know that they are just like the flowers in this garden, they are the ones that cannot withstand the wind and rain."
"Palace Master...but..." Thinking of everything she encountered when she first arrived on the island, she became hesitant again: "Aunt Zhang..."
"You mean, Shiyuan, right?"
"right."
"There are hidden secrets about Shiyuan and many places on this island. You don't need to ask any more. Just remember one thing. If you want to protect yourself, it's best to stay on the island and stay safe so that you can live a long life.
,Understand?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Gong Yueyue responded quietly.
The palace owner nodded with satisfaction, turned and left. She stayed in the room, not knowing what she was feeling.
In fact, Gong Yueyue knew that what the Master of Xianle Palace said was indeed very reasonable. If she was willing to stay here obediently, she would not have to worry about anything.
Then, that's it, just rest and recuperate, quietly waiting for the next impact of fate.
The days became boring, and the bloodshed, swords, swords, and halberds seemed to have left her. All she had to do was dress up every day, sit on the porch and enjoy the breeze, or find a secluded place to continue practicing.
Even she herself didn't notice that her energy seemed to be getting stronger day by day, especially her mentality, which gradually returned to calm.
"Yueyue." That day she was leaning on the railing, quietly looking at the lotus flowers in the water, when Cailing suddenly rushed over.
"What's wrong with you?" Gong Yueyue looked at her strangely: "Why are you crying?"
"They, they said, wanted to send me to Tiancan Island - I heard that there are no people there, no houses, no food, nothing."
"How is this possible?" Gong Yueyue frowned: "The little palace master clearly promised me to take good care of you."
"I don't know either." Cailing held her hand tightly: "Yueyue, you said you would take care of me, you said so."
Gong Yueyue frowned slightly, a little impatient - even though it had been a long time, she still hadn't learned to rely on herself.
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
"They said, my belly..." Cailing continued to choke, but her eyes slowly moved downward. Gong Yueyue looked down at her lower abdomen and found that it was indeed bulging.
No wonder they want to send her away. After all, most of the people living here are girls, especially the personality of the palace owner, who must hate men. How can they accommodate Cai Ling?
"Let's do this." Gong Yueyue bit her lip: "I'll tell the palace mistress and ask her to send us both away together. What do you think?"
"This -" the panic in Cai Ling's eyes disappeared, replaced by a trace of guilt: "Is this okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." Gong Yueyue patted the back of her hand gently: "You don't have to think too much, I will arrange everything and take care of you."
"Yueyue!" Cailing suddenly bent her legs, knelt in front of Gong Yueyue, and kowtowed heavily to her: "Thank you, thank God for allowing me to meet you, otherwise my child and I would never survive.
today."
"Don't say such things." Gong Yueyue comforted her softly, then reached out to help her up and wiped away the tears on her face: "Without you, how could I leave Yehuo Island safely? So, you
He is my savior, you don’t have to feel guilty towards me.”
Cailing choked for a while and then stood up. Gong Yueyue comforted her for a while, then sent her back to find the little palace master - here, she could be said to be unfamiliar with the place and completely out of her reach.
In terms of connections, only the little palace master would trust her.
Walking through the flower-filled courtyard, Gong Yueyue came to the Snow Crystal Palace where the little palace master lived.
The entire Snow Crystal Palace is made of huge crystals, just like a fairyland. Without the personal consent of the little palace master, even the palace master is not allowed to enter at will.
Gong Yueyue didn't dare to make any mistakes, so she walked to the steps and stood still, bowing to the two maids guarding the door: "My dear sister, Gong Yueyue asks to see the young palace master."
"The little palace master is still asleep now. Please come back later."
"But." Gong Yueyue looked hesitant.
"It's nothing, but it's okay." The other party's brows raised, looking very impatient: "Didn't you hear clearly? I want you to leave quickly."
"I..." There was some hesitation in Gong Yueyue's eyes - to be honest, she naturally wanted to see the young palace master now so that she could plead with her, but judging from the intentions of the two maids, she did not intend to let her go.
With no choice but to take a few deep breaths, Gong Yueyue turned around and walked away, wandering around outside the Snow Crystal Palace.
"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, a cold and stern voice came.
Gong Yueyue was suddenly startled. She stopped and looked intently, but she saw the aunt in charge standing in front of her at some point.
"Auntie in charge." She quickly saluted: "I'm here to ask for a meeting with the little palace master. I want to thank the little palace master for saving my friend."
"No need." The aunt in charge's eyes were cold: "Gong Yueyue, I'm warning you again. If nothing happens, don't run around. Otherwise, the little palace master can save you once, but can't save you the second time.
Second-rate!"
Gong Yueyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. To be honest, she really hated people talking to her like this, but thinking of Cai Ling, she had to swallow her breath and said "yes" bravely.
"Then what are you doing here? Why don't you go back to the house quickly?"
"……yes."
The aunt in charge had been standing there, watching her go away, then turned around and walked towards the Snow Crystal Palace. Judging from her expression and appearance, it seemed that she was also going to see the little palace master.
Strange - she couldn't help but have some doubts on her face. What would happen if she went to see the little palace master?
But now is obviously not the time to be curious. The most important thing is to quickly get the palace master's permission and be "exiled" to Tianhuang Island with Cai Ling.
Thinking of this, Gong Yueyue quickened her pace and walked towards Cailing's house.
The moment she stepped into the door, Gong Yueyue was completely shocked - the room was empty and extremely messy. Tables and chairs were scattered on the ground, and even the rouge on the dressing table was knocked over.
Seeing this situation, Gong Yueyue couldn't help but be surprised - could it be that they had taken Cailing away by force?
She hated feeling like this, the feeling of being teased, the feeling of despair, but she couldn't change it.
What should I do? What should I do? Gong Yueyue turned around and looked around. Her eyes finally fell on the straw piled in the corner, and her eyes lit up - if she lit a fire here, she would definitely attract the prison guards.
Thinking of this, Gong Yueyue immediately started to touch her whole body, and finally found a firewood in her sleeve, took it out and lit the pile of firewood. She placed the lit firewood in the center of the room, and then added the rest of the firewood little by little.
The smoke in the cell was getting thicker and thicker.
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, the cell door opened, and a woman walked in with a cold look on her face.
"I want to see the palace master!" Gong Yueyue stood up with a flash in her eyes.
"Meeting the palace master?" The other party looked very impatient: "Meeting what palace master? Believe it or not, I can kill you right away!"
"Then let me die!" Gong Yueyue looked like she was risking her life and didn't take it seriously at all: "It would be strange if you didn't let me die!"
"You -" The other party was obviously surprised by her fierce reaction. He raised his arm and there was already a whip between his fingers. He slapped her hard with a "swish" sound. Gong Yueyue fell to the ground in pain and twitched all over.
, couldn't help but scream.
"Aunt Feng." A cold voice came from behind: "What are you doing?"
"It's Mr. Xu." The woman in blue turned her head and glanced, her face softened immediately: "This girl set a fire in the cell, she clearly had evil intentions."
"Set fire?" Manager Xu turned his head and looked at her strangely.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Gong Yueyue immediately rushed to the window and shouted to Manager Lai: "Don't get me wrong, Manager, I just want to see the palace master."
"You want to see the palace master?" Manager Xu was slightly surprised: "Why?"
"Because, I want to go to Tiancan Island!" Gong Yueyue said without hesitation.
"Tiancan Island?" Manager Xu was even more surprised: "Do you know where that place is?"
"I don't care where it is, I want to go there, and I have to go there!"
"You don't regret it?"
"No regrets."
"Okay, Aunt Feng, just open the door and send her to Tiancan Island."
"This -" Aunt Feng was surprised: "But she was sent in by the palace master. Isn't it bad?" (To be continued)
