Chapter 1355 - 1435: Bewildered
Tilting her head slightly, she looked at her in puzzlement.
She was very, very afraid of this person, a fear that came instinctively from her body. Yet, this person was different from the others.
There were people who took care of her, people who called her "Your Highness," and their gazes were peculiar. At first, many of them had tears in their eyes, as if just a glance at her would make them cry. Later, they stopped crying but began to sigh, as though seeing her reminded them of something bad, always seeming regretful.
She couldn’t understand such emotions, nor could she grasp those complex feelings.
But she knew the person called the Eighth Princess was bad. Every time she came to see her, she’d always say strange things and even hit her.
She also learned of someone who claimed to be her Sixth Sister. Sixth Sister often visited her but would lament peculiar things. For instance, "If you were normal, I would definitely be much less burdened. If you weren’t insane, and were always lucid, I wouldn’t be so tired. If, if..." The words this person said were beyond her comprehension.
Another person was very bad, the white-haired one-eyed witch who had only recently appeared. She always used a small knife to cut her arm.
She disliked these people, disliked them very much, but sometimes her memory was very blurry. However, this person, the one before her eyes, was special. She didn’t look at her with strange eyes, nor did she speak strange words to her. She would smile and apply medicine to her gently. Although her instinct told her to flee, there was another emotion within her that made her want to come closer.
Ji Jiuhuang tried hard to suppress the urge to run away, blinking dazedly. The person before her grasped her wrist, pressing on the blood vessel on the inside of her wrist. What was she doing?
Ji Jiuhuang seemed utterly baffled.
"Will you come with me?"
Without much thought, she nodded blankly. But after nodding, she regretted a little, glancing timidly at Dong Huiying, wondering if this person would eat her. She didn’t want to be eaten; she was still a bit afraid.
"Baowei!" she babbled, calling out this name. This name was her guardian spirit. In fact, she didn’t know who the person was; sometimes they said peculiar things, strange images appeared in her mind. However, whenever she felt anxious, sad, like crying, uneasy, as long as she called out this name, she felt much more at ease.
Her mind was hazy, and suddenly images appeared in her mind, making her giggle. "Baowei, look, this is our kingdom!"
"Baowei, I want to eat lotus seeds, freshly picked lotus seeds!"
"Baowei!"
This was how she was, sometimes clear-minded, sometimes muddled, but even when clear-minded, she appeared bewildered.
Dong Huiying watched her with a smile, and then Ji Jiuhuang shouted Baowei from her mouth and then cheerfully ran outside, seeming to forget what had happened before, enjoying herself independently.
Dong Huiying showed a contemplative expression.
Yun Ge cautiously glanced at Dong Huiying, as if wanting to ask something but kept her mouth shut.
"Her blood is very special. Previously, I heard Prince Meng say that she regains her lucidity after intervals, and this lucidity should be her returning to her normal self. It’s also because of her blood; otherwise, she might become even more insane."
"Her blood indirectly weakens the effect of the Gu."
