A young man in green clapped excitedly. “l just saw a golden light falling from the sky on this girl. This must be a blessing from the sky!’
“I saw it too! The golden light formed a halo behind her, just like the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the painting.”
“She must be a goddess who has descended to the mortal world and is protected by golden light. Therefore, those demons and monsters can’t approach her!’
“A goddess descending to the mortal world? Is it not to save all living beings?”
In this warm atmosphere, many people spoke without thinking. The more they spoke, the more exaggerated they became. As they spoke, they even believed themselves.
Gu Yanfei’s fingers, which were hidden in her sleeves, curled up for a moment. She felt her scalp tingle. She thought to herself, What is Xia Houqing doing!’
Even in the Bright Spirit Realm, when she was ordered to work in mortal towns by her master, she would at most be respectfully addressed as “fairy”.
Xia Houqing must be deliberately trying to disgust her!
Chu Yi placed his fist by his lips and smiled silently, his eyes gentle.
Even if he didn’t say anything, Gu Yanfei was sure that he had heard those exaggerated words just now.
Gu Yanfei pursed her red lips and looked away arrogantly. She was a little angry from embarrassment.
Xia Houqing was probably hiding somewhere and watching her make a fool of herself.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanfei secretly gritted her teeth and raised her head as if nothing had happened. The lines of her chin and neck were even more beautiful and slender, looking like a clear breeze and moon.
She looked up at Chu Yi and asked calmly, “Where’s the eldest princess?”
Chu Yi had seen all kinds of her. She was disheveled, cunning, confident, decisive, and smiling freely... but this was the first time he saw her like this. His gaze became gentler.
He didn’t want to make her angry, and his peaceful condition..
Chu Yi’s heart sank, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He raised his hand and silently made a gesture. A middle-aged eunuch behind him immediately understood. He bowed and accepted the order before hurriedly retreating.
The commoners were all looking forward to it, while the 20 or so bailiffs were sweating profusely. Their bodies were as wet as if they had been fished out of water, and their hearts were as cold as ice.
Before the eldest princess arrived, the magistrate rushed over.
Looking back and forth at the Emperor on the city tower, Chu Yi, Zhang Min, and the others below, the magistrate frowned and waited at the side with a solemn expression.
He quickly exchanged a look with a figure in the crowd and stood obediently with his hands by his side.
An eunuch immediately noticed the arrival of the capital magistrate and whispered into the Emperor’s ear.
The Emperor nodded. From the corner of his eye, he saw a wheelchair being slowly pushed over.
When the wooden wheels of the wheelchair rolled, they made clicking sounds.
The onlookers looked in the direction of the voice, wanting to see what kind of person this legendary eldest princess was.
70 to 80 feet away, a little girl in a purple cloak was sitting in a wheelchair. She was slowly pushed over by a white-faced and beardless eunuch.
The little girl, who wasn’t even 10 years old, was thin and weak. Her face was pale, and her pupils were black and white. Her cheeks were so thin that they were slightly sunken, as if a gust of wind would blow them away.
The palace maid at the side carefully held An Le’s shoulder, afraid that she would bump into something.
The citizens widened their eyes in shock and stared blankly at An Le in the wheelchair.
Originally, they had imagined that the eldest princess would be an arrogant and domineering girl who was lawless. In order to survive, she didn’t hesitate to exchange her life for the lives of her servants to abduct children in the capital.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess was so weak and pitiful. She was completely incompatible with the proud and arrogant lady in “Taming of the Princess”!
“Eldest Brother,” she called out to Chu Yi softly. She was still very weak, and her voice was weak. “Let Father help them find the children.”
“They’ve lost their children and must be anxious. They must be worried and terrified.”
“Eldest Imperial Brother, tell Father... not to be angry. If get lost, Father will also... be anxious.”
An Le’s voice was soft and gentle. It was intermittent because she was weak.
Such an innocent little girl was like a white and flawless piece of paper, or like a clear spring water that could be seen to the bottom. No one could believe that she was a vicious and evil person.
Just by looking at her, they couldn’t help but feel sympathy and pity.
The commoners who were closer heard An Le’s words and couldn’t help but tell the others at the back..
