C604 Yuners concerns (1/2)

”Go back? ”Why?” Her phoenix eyes landed on Yun Er, who had a face full of lingering fear. ”Princess, no one can guarantee that we won't catch this disease in the future. If we continue to head south, who knows what might happen to us. Yun'er fell silent. She didn't finish her sentence.

In such a dangerous situation, is the prince really still alive?

Yun'er really wanted to ask.

”Yun'er, you think this disease is scary, but in my eyes, the capital is the scariest. Now that the Prince is missing, the people in the royal family are all ready to make a move. The people who had enmity with me from the past couldn't stand the people from the Seventh Prince's residence and hated those from Phoenix Seep. None of them would let me go.

If I stay in the capital, I'll be a target, a target that will make them vent their anger.

It may be dangerous outside, but at least it's what I want. Rather than being in a palace and having to do the things that you don't want to do the most, you have to wait and be afraid every day. ”

Mu Ru Yue said sincerely.

Yun'er fell silent.

Looking at her own princess consort, she understood all of this, but … There was no path of retreat. If that was the case, she would rather return to the King's Manor.

At the very least, he wouldn't have to die so tragically outside.

Besides, he didn't need to see those brutal realities.

”Yun'er, life and death are intertwined. The path is yours. Although you're my servant girl, if you want to go back to the capital, I won't stop you.” Mu Ru Yue looked at Yun'er as she opened her mouth.

Yun'er's expression changed drastically when she heard this. ”Royal Concubine, this servant didn't mean it. This servant was just a little worried about you. Please don't kick this servant out.” As she spoke, Yun'er dropped to her knees in front of her.

”What are you doing?” Mu Ru Yue took a step back to help him up and said helplessly, ”I know you're innocent, but I also know that you're loyal. I am only giving you a choice, why would you do this? ”

Yun'er shook her head, close to tears. ”Esteemed wangfei, this servant doesn't want to leave.”

”Forget about it. I'm not here to chase you away. Quickly, don't cry.” Mu Ru Yue asked gently. Only then did Yun'er let it go, and she kept her mouth shut when she heard that they were going back.

”It's getting late, let's go back and rest.” The day after tomorrow, we will probably leave the stronghold. At that time, there won't be so many strange things happening. ”

Mu Ru Yue consoled Yun'er.

Yun'er nodded, her eyes filled with determination. He seemed to have made some sort of decision.

After sending Yun'er off, Mu Ru Yue finally heaved a sigh of relief. She lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.

The night was dark.

Outside the building, there was no one else.

Within her cousin's room, Black Aunt could only kneel in front of the memorial tablets with no expression on her face. A scar stretched across his face, looking somewhat sinister.

The elder stood beside her and spoke earnestly, ”Black Lady, this is the memorial tablet for all the Holy Maiden and the Elders. Our clansmen were born with sinful deeds, so they are not fit to live in peace. Therefore, they were all buried under this ancestral hall. Let them be buried here forever. ”

The Great Elder's words made the originally quiet Black Martial Aunt jump up in surprise, ”Do we have to be like this in the future? ”Why?” Black Aunt asked in disbelief.

The Great Elder had a complicated expression. Why?

He really wanted to ask, but the Holy Maiden who had raised him up only smiled and did not say anything. He would never forget how sorrowful that person's smile was.

”I don't know either. Every generation of Holy Maiden was raised by the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder was also raised by the previous generation of Holy Maiden. That is the only way to ensure that our tribe can continue to be passed down to us.

Back then, the Holy Maiden taught me, but now … I teach you. However … Perhaps this old man is too ridiculous, my education is far from qualified. He didn't even mention what he should have told you from the beginning.

When I saw you back then, I had the feeling that this child should live better and live well with a smile on his face. For this reason, I have always tried my best to let you have a better time in coming into contact with the matters of this village. But now … I don't have much time left. I can't continue to protect you anymore.

”Black Auntie, the only way to get out of this ridiculous circle is to finish what people want to do before them.”

The Grand Elder laughed bitterly, even mockingly.
