In the middle of the night, almost everyone had fallen asleep. However, candles were still lit in the main bedroom of Jicong Mansion. Beside the table in the room, a man who came back not long ago was sitting there. His eyes were elegant and calm. It seemed that this man was indifferent to everything. He was Senior General, Yun Zhi.
A middle-aged man was standing on his left. He looked strong and tall, and he was a thoughtful man. This man was the leader of the rebels, Li Yi, the former Senior General of the Kingdom of Xuan. Everyone thought he was dead. No one knew that Yun Zhi just fooled his soldiers and made Li Yi the butler of Jicong Mansion. Moreover, none of the rebels were killed. Li Yi brought them into Jicong Mansion in secret. These people mingled in King Yun’s men and lived in some special places of the mansion. This general mansion was neither too big nor too small, but so many people were hidden in it. A plot was developing.
A woman on the right of Yun Zhi was called Yue. She was the only woman in the room. She was dressed in black and wore a black veil. This woman looked burlier than normal women. People could only see her sharp and mature eyes with temperament different from her young age. She simply looked at the two men talking, without uttering a word. Yue was here to accept new arrangements.
"Ayue, you are going to be an ordinary servant girl of Princess Xi tomorrow. Your job is to protect her."
Yun Zhi said these words to Yue. However, Li Yi spoke before Yue answered him.
"No, prince. Ayue was the confidential guard the King assigned to you."
"Li Yi, I have made up my mind. No more words are needed." Yun Zhi had this idea when he saw Yun Xi alone in Xiyan Palace that day. Yue was the only woman among his confidential guards. Yun Zhi would be at ease only when his men could protect her. Yun Zhi was a powerful man but he still could not let go of his hatred. She was a poor orphan girl who had to live in her enemy's palace. What he could do for her was nothing. "Yue, take off the veil. From tomorrow on, you are not a confidential guard, but her palace maid. Keep her safe. From now on, you will only obey her order.”
"Yes," Yue uttered a simple word. It's difficult to know whether she was a man or woman from her indifferent voice. The face under the veil was delicate. Yue answered and then disappeared. No one noticed the sarcasm in her sharp eyes which soon disappeared.
"Princess Xi, I am your new palace maid, Yue." This was the first time Yue saw her, and she saw a beautiful jade doll princess.
Yun Xi glanced at her without a word. Yue did not care about it. She was just following the order to protect her. The most important thing was that she got the chance to live in the royal palace. From her eyes, people could see a touch of mature and sharp look which did not belong to an ordinary woman; however, it soon disappeared. This was the first time they met, and this was the beginning of a special relationship.
The cute little palace maid thought it interesting to have a person willing to come to this place even worse than the Cold Palace. She answered her for the princess, "You can stand up, Yue. The princess couldn't speak and she was always nonchalant. You were a novice. You could ask me if you have any questions but you must follow my orders, understand?"
Yuer said these words, and she looked like a senior sister. She wanted to walk forward to help Yue stand up. Yue dodged her without a word inadvertently. She then followed the jade doll princess and came to the phoenix tree in silence.
Yuer was so angry that she couldn't help stamping. She ran to catch hold of Yue who was studying Yun Xi. However, Yue was never a woman who a little palace maid is strong enough to grasp. She jumped away, and Yuer hit a tree. Now Yuer knew that Yue practiced martial arts. She was bringing contempt upon herself. Now the princess had a companion, so she didn't want to follow them. She was never a girl who wanted to be around a dull jade beauty every day.
This incident did not affect Yun Xi who had been meditating superficially, however, she was distracted for a moment. Almost few people could notice this, but Yue could. She did not say a word but kept staring at the girl.
It's the same phoenix tree. Yun Xi was still staring at the tree with empty eyes. They killed time in this way and soon it was afternoon. Yuer prepared the carriage voluntarily. This time, she did not dare to cause Yue any trouble. She talked to them but she didn't follow up. Yuer knew that the princess was going to the bamboo forest for more boring meditation. Yue was still not tired of being there, so she was happy to be the supervisor of the princess to make sure she was back timely. In this case, Yuer didn't have to be the “monitor”. She felt so happy to have a rest.
Along the way, Yue stayed with Yun Xi in silence. It was so quiet. Yue was not a talkative person so she was not as bored as Yuer. Instead, she was observing the girl in front of her carefully. Yue did not think out loud as Yuer did. Such quiet companionship made Yun Xi feel kind of comfortable.
After the carriage arrived, Yue led Yun Xi to the bamboo forest. Yun Zhi had been waiting here for a long time. He was very attentive when he saw the girl. Yun Xi ignored him. She found a place in which she could see the Kingdom of Shui and continued her meditation.
Yun Zhi walked to her and kept talking, saying words in her ear, such as "Xier, how are you today", "Xier, what do you like", "Xier, are you hungry", "Xier, let me take you shopping", "Xier, let's go to the lake together", "Xier, I will go to Xiyan Palace to visit you in my spare time", and so on. He kept chattering constantly like a fly. Maybe he would be a fly next life.
Yun Xi was still like a soulless decoration. She did not turn around and paid no attention to him.
However, Yue next to her could notice the girl’s boredom in her empty eyes. Yue’s eyes were mature and sharp. She felt it was interesting, and she showed a playful look which a woman barely revealed. Yue did not stop Yun Zhi and she did not say any words. She continued to stare at the eyes of this muzzy girl. Yun Zhi was still talking, which amused Yue and she couldn't help smiling.
Xiyan Palace was always cold and desolate. Under the phoenix tree in the courtyard, there was always a white figure which looked sad and lonely. The figure seemed to have no soul and pitiful.The girl was still staring at the phoenix tree with empty eyes as always. She walked toward the tree slowly. She suddenly stumbled, almost falling down. It's Yue who had been next to her that caught her and then held her in her arms.Yue's hugging was not gentle as ordinary women’s. Maybe because of her bosom, her hugging was also not as strong as a man’s. It was a different feeling, peaceful and warm.Ever since the little princess of the Kingdom of Shui, Shui Yinzhu became Yun Xi at the age of nine, no one had ever hugged her. She could only hug herself. It was the first time for her to be hugged in five years. The girl was touched, and she had never had such a feeling before. When she was a child, her loved ones hugged her. However, she was still
Yue's ears suddenly twitched. She heard a soft voice of footsteps approaching them slowly. Yue soon got closer to Yun Xi in secret. She held the girl in her arms in silence.At this moment, some people in black clothes suddenly appeared and tried to attack Yun Xi. Yue held the girl more tightly to protect her with her left hand. Her right hand grabbed the knife from a person in black swiftly. She killed the man in black with his own knife without hesitation. Now she had to kill her enemies ruthlessly if she wanted to protect Yun Xi.In the meantime, Yun Xi was so shocked by the spurting blood. After five years, the girl emitted a sound for the first time. She hadn't uttered a word for so many years and her voice was hoarse but tender. She was so pitiful and kept crying. Now Yun Xi’s eyes were no longer empty but filled with fear and helplessness.Yue noticed it and she felt so sorry for her. However, now she did not have time to comfort
"I have found out that she was a spy of the Kingdom of Wu. She drugged you and then asked the people of the Kingdom of Wu to kill the princess. Now she's been controlled by our people, and she said she wanted to cooperate with us." Li Yi reported to Yun Zhi respectfully."Kill her.""We have the same goal. We can use her.""Don't you understand my words? Anyone who dares to hurt her even a little has to die.""Prince, in fact, if Princess Xi is dead, the Kingdom of Yun will... ""Uncle Yi, how can you also believe in such nonsense? I am going to tell you one last time—don't hurt her.""But prince...""Li Yi, if you mention hurting her again, please don't blame me for breaking up our relationship. I will kill the vicious King Yun and then conquer the world.""Yes." Li Yi left and he felt helpless. His prince had feelings that he should not have.Now Yun Zhi felt
Not long after this incident, almost everything was back to normal. However, there was an interesting story in the bedroom of King Yun. It was actually the consequence of this incident. Since ancient times, beauties had been victims of political power.A beautiful female entertainer was sent to King Yun. In his bedroom, this female entertainer danced so charmingly that King Yun couldn't control himself.In the middle of the night, the female entertainer lay in the arms of King Yun. After having sex, she poured a glass of water for King Yun. Before long, King Yun was even hornier. He seemed to be tireless while the female entertainer seduced him by every means.King Yun was the king who had unified the world. That night, he almost died on a woman's body. He was not young anymore and almost died of enjoying excessive freedom. It was so lucky that imperial physicians saved him in time. Otherwise, dying in this way would be a great humiliati
Yun Su should be a distinguished and domineering Crown Prince, but he was actually a gentleman. He was a man who made people feel comfortable. At this moment, he was staring at Yun Zhi who was thinking about something.Yun Zhi has always been an indifferent person, and the only person he cared about was Yun Xi. Staring at the girl, his cold eyes were filled with surprise, confusion, and other complex emotions. They were just some subtle changes, but Crown Prince who had grown up in the imperial palace was clever enough to notice them."Brother, we shouldn't disturb Xier when she was trying to have a rest. Let's go to your palace." Yun Zhi realized Yun Xi did not welcome them, so he said these words to help her out."Okay. Sister Xi, we don't mean to interrupt you. We will come to visit you next time."He didn't call himself Crown Prince according to the royal etiquette. It's obvious that he was interested in this girl. Yun Z
Fifth Princess finished her words and court eunuchs and palace maids soon came forward to catch Yun Xi. Fifth Princess was a real princess. No one would betray her and pity Yun Xi who was pathetic and abandoned.What Yuer did was the most surprising. At this moment, she saw Princess Xi being taken away. Yuer was hiding in the yard. Instead of coming out to help, she was watching this drama. She even took pleasure in Princess Xi’s misfortune.Yuer always looked down on this sacrifice princess. She was actually the reason why Princess Xi was taken away by Fifth Princess. Yuer always remembered Yun Xi’s attitude towards her. Surrounded by Crown Prince and Senior General, the princess always did not want her by her side. She was nothing but a captive princess. How could she be so arrogant? Even Yue, who thinks highly of “her” own extraordinary martial arts, did not respect her. Yuer hoped that Yun Xi would never be back. Because she was overwhelmed by je
Fifth Princess dared not leave any scars on Princess Xi's body. She was the sacrifice of Yun so Fifth Princess was afraid that her father King Yun would blame her. Otherwise, Fifth Princess would have disfigured her pretty face. Fifth Princess hated her face the most. She was nothing but a cheap princess, however, Yun Xi’s pretty face and cool temperament made her more attractive than her, the most favored and noble princess.Fifth Princess couldn't disfigure Princess Xi, but she could torture her with cold well water constantly. It's a little cold in October. Maybe Princess Xi could survive, but she would still be sick on the bed for a few days. Fifth Princess wanted to keep doing this for one day and one night. She would not stop torturing her with cold water even after she had a high fever. she wanted Yun Xi to suffer the lingering effect of a chronic disease and never get well.Buckets of well water were poured down from several palace maids and
Crown Prince finished his words and looked at the wet girl in a white dress. Yun Su felt so worried and ignored his fifth sister. For him, now the most important person was Yun Xi in his arms.Holding the girl, Yun Su rushed to his palace. There was a natural medicine hot spring behind the mountain where his bedroom was. Yun Su made it a bathroom. Now only the natural medicine hot spring could cure this cold and wet girl.Yun Zhi and Yue also followed Yun Su anxiously. Before the three people arrived at the Crown Prince’s palace, a court eunuch came to meet Crown Prince, saying King Yun wanted to see him. Yun Su didn't want to leave, but he must go to see his father. He couldn't let his father notice his special feelings for Yun Xi because it would be bad for the girl. Yun Su was worried about Yun Xi’s situation. He could only ask Yun Zhi to take good care of her.Yun Zhi then held Yun Xi in his arms. He didn't stop rushing to the
