Chapter 1352 - 1432: Going Out
Dong Huiying glanced at her, a hint of helplessness on her face: "Why do you look like a pitiful little creature bullied by others? I know you did all this for me. You don’t need to blame yourself, feel guilty, or feel bad. I don’t blame you."
"I..." Yun Ge choked, her throat blocked, as tears the size of beans poured out in a rush. She still couldn’t quite believe it and sniffed hard. Her eyes were red as she asked, "You really don’t blame me?" But that’s Ji Jiuhuang, the one Purple chervil once swore loyalty to. She didn’t know if, in Purple chervil’s heart, she or Ji Jiuhuang was more important. But perhaps they were equally important?
Even between women, when the bond reaches a certain depth, it can feel like a passionate romance. When one notices the other valuing someone else, it feels like jealousy, like one’s territory being invaded. This feeling is truly hard to explain. Friendship, it can be steadfast and noble as great love!
Dong Huiying gently laughed and rubbed her head, "You’re overthinking. How could I possibly blame you? So, ease your mind; we’re going to meet Ji Jiuhuang. I’m very curious about her blood. She is my lifeline, also a precedent. As long as I can understand the nature and origin of her blood, I think I can be saved."
Beside them, Prince Meng’s eyes flashed with concern. He was a bit worried that Dong Huiying might act against Ji Jiuhuang like Yun Ge did, although Dong Huiying’s eloquent words gave him some reassurance, he was still a bit uneasy. Well, let’s wait and see. If it really doesn’t work... at worst, they would face each other in battle. In any case, his ninth sister must be protected!
The Cold Palace’s real name is Ronghua Palace. It is rumored that there once lived a Noble Lady (akin to a noble concubine) who was not favored during her lifetime. The palace’s conspiracies and calculations made the Noble Lady weary of life, leading her to hang a white silk and commit suicide here. Places where people have died are inevitably avoided; each palace master finds it unlucky, and maids and servants avoid it as much as possible. Gradually, ghostly rumors spread, and the once-glorious Ronghua Palace became today’s Cold Palace, slowly declining.
The palace is very desolate, the flowers and grass uncared for. Moreover, it’s now the dead of winter, and the view is bleak. Furthermore, there are very few people around, keeping with the Cold Palace’s name as an abandoned, secluded place left to solitude.
Yun Ge supported Dong Huiying as they walked out from the house, with Hong Fei and Liu Yan standing outside with red eyes. They hadn’t had a chance to show themselves before, but they saw everything that happened inside and outside the house.
"General..." Hong Fei choked, her nature crude and straightforward, loyal only to Dong Huiying. Even if Dong Huiying ordered her to die, she wouldn’t hesitate.
The actions of Doctor Yun these days were all seen by Hong Fei and Liu Yan. Not stopping them was already a grave disrespect; but for those loyal, even knowing this disregard was wrong and pretending not to see was already a big mistake. However, they’d rather be punished later by the General and continue making the mistake knowingly.
Just so the General can live.
Dong Huiying smiled at the two of them, "Why are you both looking at me like this? Put those tears away—I’m not dead yet. Even if you really want to cry, wait until after I’ve taken my final breath to do so." She was merely joking to lighten the mood, but little did she know she’d end up making both cry even more.
Dong Huiying pressed her forehead painfully, "Let’s go, let’s go! First, let’s go meet the Ninth Princess."
