Coming out of the cabin, the smell of burning filled my nose.
Although He Yanyan used acupuncture and internal force to control the toxins, she could no longer suppress the pain in her legs.
Every step she took felt like her knees were being torn out alive. She fell to the ground after just a few steps.
She recalled what her nanny had said, that if the prince's life or death was still uncertain within seven days, she would have to be buried with him, and she couldn't help but start to worry.
"last night……"
Is the person talking at my bedside really the king?
He Yanyan tried hard to recall what happened last night, but she couldn't remember anything except the pain of the flames.
"If it's really the king, I just need to find a way to make him show up again to save my life."
she said to herself.
But if not, today is already the fifth day, and if there is still no news from the king in two days, then wouldn’t he be risking his child’s life?
Tears welled up in her eyes. He Yanyan touched the jade pendant on her neck that her mother had given her before she got married, feeling secretly sad——
The day after she got married into the palace, she received a letter sent quickly by her mother.
Since the Qianglan Kingdom has no gender restrictions for those in power, the eldest sister conspired to seize the throne of the female emperor. After murdering the late emperor and paralyzing her, she left her mother alone on an isolated island to fend for herself. Although it was claimed that the late emperor suddenly suffered from a serious illness, the eldest daughter acted as proxy
Domestic affairs, but the outside world is very secretive about it.
This letter was sent by my mother before she went to the isolated island. I'm afraid her life or death is uncertain now.
Apart from the palace, He Yanyan had nowhere to go.
She thought about wandering, but if that was the case, she would never have the chance to avenge her mother and father.
Therefore, returning to the palace is the best choice.
She didn't know how long she had been unconscious on the ground, but her mother's voice and smile were all in her mind. When He Yanyan opened her eyes again, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Dragging his exhausted body up from the ground, half of his cheeks were burned, he no longer had an alluring appearance, and he was unable to use martial arts, even if he had medical skills at his disposal.
Picking up a branch and using it as a walking stick, she limped back to the palace.
After knocking on the door, a boy opened the door impatiently holding a bowl:
"ah--"
As soon as he saw He Yanyan's burned cheeks, he screamed, fell to the ground and crawled backwards in fright.
"What's wrong?" Ye Siying heard the sound and looked like a hostess. She even put on He Yanyan's clothes - she was not as tall as He Yanyan, and she looked like she was wearing a fence.
When he saw the woman whose face was disfigured by the fire at the door, she also screamed: "Ah! Where did you come from, a monster! Get out!"
He Yanyan ignored her and walked straight in. Ye Siying grabbed her tattered clothes:
"Where did this stinky beggar come from? Do you know where this place is?"
He Yanyan turned her head and looked at Ye Siying quietly. Although the latter could not recognize the woman in front of her, this look made her shudder:
"Ye Siying, what happens to me today will be you tomorrow. Whatever you and your mother do to me, I will repay you twice as much!"
Narrowing her eyes, Ye Siying squeezed her hand harder: "Are you... He Yanyan?"
As soon as she said these words, Ye Siying laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, how ridiculous! I didn't expect that the dignified fourth princess of the Qianglan Kingdom would actually look like this! Do you still want revenge? What a joke!"
The nanny heard the sound and rushed out. She was also shocked when she saw He Yanyan. She wanted to drive her out, but Ye Siying stopped her:
"I want to see what you are capable of? Since you dare to come back, I think you don't mind being buried in two days' time, He Yanyan?"
It seems that Ye Siying also heard about this incident.
He Yanyan met her provocative gaze: "If this princess is buried as a sacrifice, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."
After saying that, with a look from the wet nurse, He Yanyan was locked into the woodshed by her servants.
She didn't know why her daughter wanted to keep this woman, so the nanny asked with some worry: "Yingying, I'm afraid this woman won't live long, so it's better to throw her out as soon as possible, so as not to stain the palace's appearance."
Ye Siying disagreed: "Mom! This kind of woman must take advantage of her illness to kill her! Anyway, the prince will not come back, so why not bury her in seven days so that we can still have a good reputation!"
The wet nurse looked at her daughter's unabashed viciousness, but she murmured in her heart——
After all, He Yanyan's belly contains Bian Xiao's flesh and blood, and she is also the successor of his final bloodline...
Seeing her mother's sad face, Ye Siying nudged her with her elbow: "Mom, are you still worried about your child?"
The wet nurse was silent.
"I administered a lot of poison yesterday. The child would have died long ago, so don't worry!"
"..."
When Ye Siying returned to the woodshed again, although the conditions here were a little rough, it was still sheltered from the wind and rain.
She suffered a high fever in the middle of the night, and He Yanyan passed out on the ground. If a few men hadn't lifted her up from the ground, she probably wouldn't have had to lie there for how long.
"Get up, He Yanyan," when she opened her eyes again, Ye Siying was standing in front of her with her arms folded, "it's time to hit the road."
On the road?
He Yanyan frowned: "What do you mean?"
"You have been sleeping for a whole day and a whole night. It is already the night of the seventh day. At midnight on the eighth day, we will hold a secret marriage between you and the king at the house."
"..."
"You are born as the king's man, and you die as the king's ghost!"
