That time accelerator, Yun Chunnuan thought she would never use it again in her lifetime!
How many three months does one have in life?!
She missed the days of living closely with her husband for no reason...
With a single-minded desire to help the people of Bianliao, she neglected those important to her around her.
"Didn’t you leave? How could you not know!" Lian Qiao wept uncontrollably, thinking she would never see the Little Princess again, and contemplated going to Great Xia to bring her back if the little one hadn’t returned by the time of her wedding with the General!
"I..." Yun Chunnuan opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain.
She looked at the tearful Qiao’er, Ye Danyang, and a few maidservants, and softly said, "You all go out first, I have something to say to Ah Qiao."
Qiao’er paused, instinctively looking at Lian Qiao, "Sister Ah Qiao, you... don’t let the Princess leave, no matter what, wait until the General returns..."
Lian Qiao repeatedly promised.
At this moment, she didn’t know that she would soon be persuaded by the Little Princess...
When the room returned to quiet, Yun Chunnuan held Lian Qiao’s hand with a serious face, "Ah Qiao, do you trust me?"
Lian Qiao nodded, then quickly shook her head, "I used to trust you, now I don’t! You little liar, you left for three whole months without a word! The General went to the battlefield, did you know? People from Chuqing Country are insidious and cunning, secretly infiltrating the towns where Bianliao people reside, slaughtering them overnight!
If it weren’t for such heinous acts, the General wouldn’t have left at all! He waits for you day and night in the mansion! How could you be so heartless? Didn’t you love him dearly? I don’t understand!"
"Ah Qiao, think carefully, given my husband’s nature, if he didn’t know I had a difficult situation, how could he patiently wait at home? He would have led his troops to Great Xia long ago! Would he obediently wait in the mansion?"
Yun Chunnuan knew that in order to leave under the noses of Qiao’er and the others, she could only do so through Lian Qiao.
Besides her husband, she wouldn’t let a third person know about her time travel and the Storage Ring Space.
It’s not about trust, but the matter is so bizarre and mysterious, if they mistakenly told it as gossip, she didn’t know what kind of disaster her life might face.
Not just her disaster, it might even affect her husband, or even the entire Bianliao.
But as for the Blood Beads before...
Her words left Lian Qiao stunned.
Lian Qiao blinked, carefully analyzing the Little Princess’s words, finding no fault.
For someone like the General, if the Little Princess left in a huff with him, how could he obediently stay at home and wait?
Completely unreasonable!
"So you... really went to do something decent? Does the General know?"
Yun Chunnuan nodded, "Whether it’s three months or even three years, my husband will patiently wait for me at home, but I’m sorry, Ah Qiao, I can’t tell you about this matter."
Lian Qiao was slightly taken aback, her eyes revealing disappointment, but still she said in a light tone, "Ha, what’s the big deal, everyone has their secrets, right? Since the General already knows, I’m relieved then!
But, are you leaving again?"
"Mm, I want to go to the border to find my husband! In the meantime, see if there’s anything I can help with..."
"Stop it! You have no idea how dangerous the border is! Besides, you’re a delicate Little Princess, what can you help with? Listen, wait patiently at home, those scum from Chuqing Country can’t stir up much trouble, and the General might not need too long before he... what are you doing!"
Lian Qiao was in the middle of speaking when she saw the Little Princess draw a knife across her hand, making a deep cut.
She was terrified, yet saw her walk to a bucket of water, dip her finger in, and when she pulled it out, the bloody gash was gone!
Lian Qiao looked at the bucket of water, shocked.
"Lian Qiao, that night, I went to your room to heal the scar on your face, you already knew, didn’t you?
So the day you brought the Blood Jade, it was to thank me for healing your scar?"
Since discovering the magical properties of the Blood Jade, Yun Chunnuan had been pondering this matter.
This was all interconnected, any flaw in the plan, Blood Jade could not have ended up in her hands.
That piece of Blood Jade, which Lian Qiao cherished so much, even refusing to yield to Yelyu Nalan, showed she knew it was precious.
Only after discovering the secret of the Blood Beads and knowing she helped heal her face, did Lian Qiao give the Blood Jade to her out of gratitude!
Lian Qiao’s expression of shock was mixed with complexity, "Mm... That night, I groggily saw you apply something to my face, but I didn’t know what it was, at first I thought you were going to harm me... Only later did I realize I judged you unfairly...
But since it was your secret, I didn’t reveal it to He Lang, so I had to pretend not to know."
"Then what about the Blood Jade? Why did you give it to me?"
Lian Qiao frowned, "If I said that someone long, long ago, before my Sha Hai Country fell, gave me this Blood Jade to give to a woman from the Central Plains who could save me from disaster, would you believe it?"
As expected, it was fated from the beginning.
"Was that person a woman? Very beautiful?"
Lian Qiao shook her head, "It was a handsome young man, beautiful as a fairy, deeply beloved by my father. Back then, to help my Mother vie for favor, I got close to that young man.
As for this Blood Jade, I didn’t care for it at all, didn’t even bring it during my escape, but somehow, it appeared.
At that time, I just happened to be sold into the military camp and met the General, so I thought it was this Blood Jade that brought me good luck, and treasured it immensely.
As for that handsome young man’s words, I had long forgotten, but the night you came, I suddenly dreamt of that young man again, so I gave the Blood Jade to you..."
