Chapter 756: Princess
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ah Yu knew that she had a birthmark behind her ear and Meatbail had also told her. As for her eyes, she rarely looked in the mirror and did not notice them. Her family had never mentioned it to her.
“There are golden pupil lines in your eyes. They’re also called phoenix eyes. They’re the legacy imprint unique to West Wind Nation’s royal family. They’re only passed down to the direct descendants and can’t be passed down to the branch families. Ever since the establishment of the West Wind Nation, there’s never been any exceptions.” When Shi Zhou mentioned this, he continued, “Have you realized that even at night, you can see more clearly than others? Others can’t see their fingers in front of them, but you can see what’s around you. Although it’s not as bright as during the day, it’s not as if you’re half-blind. Am 1 right?”
As he spoke, Shi Zhou waved his hand, and the palm wind blew out the few lanterns around him. In an instant, the room was pitch-black.
However, Ah Yu could instantly see the surrounding furnishings, including the tables, chairs, and even the dishes on the table.
Ah Yu had never seriously studied her eyes before. She rarely went out at night. Even if she did, her surroundings were still bright.
So she could see so clearly?
[Wow, kid, your eyes are so cool. They actually have these functions. 1 haven’t studied them before.] Meatball was a little excited. The golden threads hidden in her eyes were quite effective!
As expected of the child it valued. She was indeed different.
Shi Zhou did not intend to let Ah Yu completely believe him now. He only provided a bit of proof and continued.
Princess Ruan Ruan did not leave alone. She took away three guards and two palace maids. One of the palace maids was called Han Zhi. She was also someone who Princess Ruan Ruan had grown up with. The two of them had a very good relationship.
Han Zhi was very capable. She had originally helped Ruan Ruan manage all the assets in the princess’s hall. She was undoubtedly a first-grade palace maid, and her martial arts were outstanding, comparable to a guard.
“Han Zhi followed the princess and took care of her food and daily life, working hard without complaint. Later on, while the princess was traveling with that young man, she came to the Great Chang and encountered a lot of trouble there. At that time, Han Zhi and one of the guards married under the princess’s witness and later became pregnant.”
As he spoke, a clearly unpleasant expression appeared on Shi Zhou’s face, but he continued, “Around the same time, the Princess was also pregnant, and at that point, they were relentlessly pursued. They managed to escape to the region where Great Chang’s Wangbei County is located and encountered a fallen scholar who provided them with temporary shelter. Unfortunately, the guard who was with Han Zhi sacrificed his life to protect Princess Ruan Ruan, and due to the shock, she went into premature labor.”
At that time, the princess thought that her future was uncertain and was unwilling to let Han Zhi, who was also pregnant, follow her to death. She left most of her money to Han Zhi and gave the fallen scholar a sum of money. She hoped that he could help Han Zhi hide her identity and let her pretend to be the scholar’s aunt so that she could avoid being hunted down.
Ah Yu muttered, “That imperial scholar’s surname is Xie?”
“Yes,” Shi Zhou said. “The Xie Manor in Dongling County of Wangbei County is the home of that imperial scholar.”
The princess left the remaining money to the other personal palace maid. She hoped that the palace maid could live well with her child in the future.
However, this was only the princess’s wishful thinking. She did not know that the palace maid had long blamed her when the guard who was her husband died.
She had secretly poisoned the princess, causing her to give birth prematurely. The child she gave birth to was so weak that she was on the verge of death.
But even so, the princess still cared for her. She endured her grief and wanted to make proper arrangements for her..
