A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 494 Shangguan Mansion Will Always Be Her Home

It was two days later that Luoying woke up. She didn't want to wake up again, thinking that her fate with Jiuyi was over in this life. Even if she woke up, she would have to continue to be trapped in the Han Palace as the Princess of Han, in a daze all day long. It would be better for her to fall asleep.

But later she dreamed of the battlefield again. The iron hoofs of the West Moon Army entered the Xuanmeng Kingdom and slaughtered, burned and looted everywhere. The capital was like a hell on earth. In the Shangguan Mansion, Jiuyi fell under the knife of the West Moon Army with blood all over his body, still holding the pair of black silk bracelets tightly in his hands. Luoying suddenly found a reason to live in grief. The ambition of the West Moon Kingdom is well known to everyone. Although she has avenged her personal vengeance, she still has the same national vengeance as Jiuyi. Since she can continue to stay in Shangjing City with the identity of Princess Han, why not take this opportunity to help Jiuyi.

"Princess, you're finally awake!" Xiaochun walked into the room carrying a basin of hot water. She was surprised to see Princess Han, who had been unconscious on the bed, sitting up on her own. She couldn't help but tear up.

Although Xiaochun is a maid, the princess has always treated her very well. Now she feels very sorry for the princess, who was already lonely and helpless at a young age. She lost the prince just after her wedding night and was branded as a humiliator. I'm afraid her days in the Han Palace will not be easy.

"Where is the prince? Where is the prince?" Seeing Xiaochun come in, Luoying continued to look heartbroken and cried to her. After learning that Yan Han's body had been placed in the mourning hall of the prince's mansion, she was about to break away from Xiaochun's dissuasion and go forward, but she saw an evil, vicissitudes of life, and grief-stricken old woman walking in, followed by the secret guard Leng Wu.

"Since you are so reluctant to leave my son, then go with him." Concubine Meng looked at Luoying in front of her calmly, and suddenly sneered, and the fire of hatred immediately ignited in her sad eyes.

It was really a face that brought disaster. If it wasn't for this woman, how could her son die peacefully on his wedding night? A few days ago, the mother and son finally reconciled their differences. She had hoped that her son would come to see her again after his happy wedding. Unexpectedly, what she was waiting for was the tragic news that he suddenly died. How could she not feel pain and hatred?

Shocked to see the old woman who looked somewhat like Yan Han, Luo Ying guessed that she was Yan Han's biological mother, Concubine Meng, and immediately knelt before her with tears in her eyes:

"mother…"

"Shut up! You have no right to call me mother! My good son died in your hands. You, a beauty who brings disaster to your husband, should die with him!"

Upon hearing that the woman who killed her son dared to call herself the Princess of Han, Concubine Meng could no longer hold back her anger and immediately turned around, drew the sword from Leng Wu's waist and stabbed straight at Luoying.

"Princess, be careful!" In a hurry, Xiaochun, who was kneeling beside her, rushed forward and stabbed her heart with the sharp sword.

"Xiaochun!" Luoying was shocked. She had always regarded Xiaochun as the eyes placed by Yan Han by her side. She didn't expect that today she would risk her life to protect her.

"You dog slave, what kind of master are you protecting?" Seeing that there were servants in Prince Han's Mansion protecting that woman so much, Concubine Meng was even more furious. She cursed while pulling back the sword fiercely.

"Xiaochun? Find a doctor! Go find a doctor quickly!" The sword was pulled out fiercely, and blood from Xiaochun's wound gushed out continuously. Luoying raised her hand to stop it but it seemed that she couldn't stop it. In panic, she angrily rushed towards Leng Wuming who was still watching coldly.

But Leng Wu turned a deaf ear to Luoying's orders, and he also blamed the sudden death of His Highness on Princess Han, so he invited Concubine Meng without authorization. Now seeing that Concubine Meng had killed someone by mistake, and other servants in the palace also came to dissuade her because of the commotion here, after all, Princess Han was the Queen's sister, so she couldn't let Concubine Meng kill her in public, so Leng Wu had to pull Concubine Meng out of the room with the palace housekeeper.

"Princess!" He Lian came to Luoying at this time, and looking at Xiaochun who was covered in blood and had died, she couldn't help crying.

"Helian, go find a doctor quickly, Xiaochun..."

"Princess, Xiaochun has gone!"

After hearing Helian's crying, Luoying realized that Xiaochun, whom she was holding in her arms, was indeed dead. She couldn't help but close her eyes and cry, blaming herself. Xiaochun was the most innocent person, but he lost his life in vain because of her.

When the news reached the palace, Yan Qiao was shocked and furious, but considering that Concubine Meng had lost her mind due to the grief of losing her son and drew her sword to kill people, and knowing that Princess Han was fine, he did not pursue the matter any further and just had Concubine Meng taken back to the cemetery. At the same time, he also ordered that the secret guard Leng Wu be exiled to the northern border immediately. The maid Xiaochun was rewarded for her loyalty in protecting her master and was given a grand funeral.

"Jiuyi, good news, Princess Luoying succeeded in her revenge, Yan Han is dead!"

At night, in the military camp outside the capital of Xuanmeng Kingdom, Qi Xuanlin happily broke into the tent and said to Shangguan Jiuyi.

"Where is Luoying?" It was indeed good news, but Shangguan Jiuyi was only concerned about Luoying's situation.

"Don't worry, Princess Luoying has not been exposed. There are two theories about Yan Han's death. One is the conclusion given by the imperial physician, which is that he died of an old illness on his wedding night. The other is a folk rumor that...it is said that King Han has always been extremely licentious and it must have happened on his wedding night..." Qi Xuanlin stopped talking when he saw his friend's gloomy face.

"No, even if she hasn't been exposed for the time being, she shouldn't continue to stay in Xiyue Country..." After a moment's silence, Shangguan Jiuyi suddenly stood up worriedly. Now that she has avenged her great hatred, he should go and pick her up.

"You want to go to Xiyue Kingdom to find her in person?" Qi Xuanlin's heart tightened when he saw Shangguan Jiuyi's reaction. He knew that he was going to be impulsive because of Princess Luoying again, so he continued, "She is now the wife of King Han of Xiyue Kingdom. King Han just died. Her every move is under the attention of the people of Xiyue Kingdom. And you, Shangguan Jiuyi, are the state teacher of Xuanmeng Kingdom. This time, because of the cavalry's victory over Beidi, you must have already attracted the attention of Xiyue Kingdom. You must not take risks at this critical juncture!"

"But Luoying..." Shangguan Jiuyi knew that what Qi Xuanlin said made sense, but he couldn't calm down when he thought of Luoying. He couldn't stop her from seeking revenge before, but now that she had fulfilled her promise to her relatives, he was afraid that she would lose hope of living again in confusion.

"Don't worry, I will ask someone to find a way to contact her." Qi Xuanlin hurriedly comforted him.

“If you have a chance to get close to her, tell her that Shangguan Mansion will always be her home, and Jiuyi will always wait for her to come back.” Ever since he heard the news of her wedding to Yan Han, he thought their fate was completely over. However, today, knowing that she was safe and sound and had avenged herself, he rekindled hope.

Qi Xuanlin just nodded without saying anything more, but he felt mixed emotions in his heart. As a good friend, he naturally hoped that this star-crossed pair could one day renew their relationship. However, Princess Luoying was now the well-known Princess Han, and was under the watchful eye of Xiyue Emperor Yan Qiao, a man whose scheming far surpassed Yan Han's. It would not be easy for her to escape and leave Xiyue Kingdom.
