Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 168 Give Him a Proper Burial

Little Ya seemed not to hear, numbly and mechanically repeating the action of digging in the soil.

Seeing this, Feng Siyue could only forcibly pull her back and bring her to Xuan Li's side, "A Li, keep an eye on her."

Their clothes were soaked.

Xuan Li grasped the little girl's wrist with one hand and nodded, "Okay!"

Why would Xiaoya walk away?

She struggled frantically, pleading, "Miss Ruan, let me go! I want to bury my grandfather myself!"

If you were powerless to do something while you were alive, does that mean you can't do it yourself even after you're dead?

Xuan Li held onto the little girl's wrist tightly, refusing to let go. "With your own hands?"

"You don't want your hand anymore? Doesn't your grandpa feel bad about it?!"

She couldn't understand Yu Xiaoya's way of thinking. Wouldn't it be better if someone helped her?

Why insist on digging with your own hands? Are you playing around?

Is this form of self-harm punishing oneself or punishing others?

Feng Siyue walked to the side, picked up Yu Wang's body and walked towards the main road, sighing, "Little girl, let's get a coffin and give your grandfather a proper burial."

"Take good care of him and see him off."

At this point, Yu Xiaoya stopped struggling.

grandfather......

I no longer have a grandfather.

Overwhelming sadness enveloped the little girl's heart, making her panic and tremble.

Overwhelmed with grief, she finally closed her eyes and fainted.

The small body fell backward.

Xuan Li quickly caught her, "Yu Xiaoya!?"

Hearing the noise, Feng Siyue quickly carried the old woman over, took her pulse, and then said...

"It's nothing serious, I just fainted."

"Let's find a place to shelter from the rain first."

"it is good."

Xuan Li reached under her knees with one hand to pick her up, but then realized that the sensation was a little off.

Why do my knees feel so soft and pliable, and also feel strangely prickly to the touch?

"Feng Siyue, quickly check her knees!"

"what?"

Feng Siyue then reached up to her knees.

This probing caused her pupils to shrink sharply!

Feng Siyue stared in disbelief at the little girl's pale face. "Her knees are shattered..."

how come?

"Crushed?"

"She can still stand up even after being crushed, doesn't she feel pain?"

"How did you do it?"

Xuan Li was very surprised; she had never heard of someone being able to stand up after their kneecaps were shattered!

Feng Siyue remained silent for a moment.

"Let's go find a place to treat her wounds."

Little girl, how did you manage to drag Old Yu's body back here from the city?

.........

The news of what happened in the southern suburbs of Qianshui City spread very quickly; almost half a quarter of an hour after it had dissipated, the news had already reached the hands of the royal family of Qinghe Luozhou.

The green leaves fall on the imperial city.

The center of power, the Azure Palace.

Inside the luxurious and imposing palace, a young man dressed in a golden dragon robe looked at the brief message presented to him and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The Bai family?"

The old eunuch beside him bowed slightly and said in a high-pitched voice, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Elder of the Bai family has appeared in person, his identity is beyond doubt."

The man closed the bamboo scroll. "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the people of Zhongzhou have always been ambitious but lacking in ability. They only have one goal. Their presence here certainly isn't for training, and these two women are from the Bai family..."

"This servant thinks that either some rare and precious treasure has appeared, or that he is just naturally playful."

The man pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Chai Huan, should I say you're clever or that you're wise in disguise?"

"Boom!"

The old eunuch immediately knelt down in fear, his knees hitting the ground with a loud thud. "Your Majesty, please forgive me! This servant dared not deceive Your Majesty!"

The man put down the jade slip and said nonchalantly, "Chai Huan, I like intelligent people, so there will be no next time."

Chai Huan hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

The man stood up, looked at the sky outside the hall with a half-smile, and said, "The stars are vying for supremacy; it's an inevitable trend."

"Let me see what these so-called prodigies will ultimately achieve."

Behind him, the old eunuch bowed his head and asked, "Your Majesty, should we prepare a generous gift to send to Hanxi Auction House?"

The young emperor spoke up, "What do you think?"

The old eunuch wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. "Given the Bai family's status, the Qingluo Dynasty is not valued by them, so there is a high probability that we will not see Bai Qing."

"But the imperial dignity requires proper etiquette."

Proper etiquette is essential to avoid criticism.

The young emperor gave a soft hum, his expression unreadable. "Chai Huan, of my three sons and two princesses, who do you think can lead the Qingluo Dynasty to a higher position?"

"If Your Majesty is in good health, and your power remains for thousands of years to come, then Your Majesty will naturally be the one to rule."

"Chai Huan, you're being stupid."

Chai Huan was terrified and hurriedly knelt down. "Your Majesty, please forgive this servant for being so disrespectful. Although the two princesses are quite talented, there has never been a precedent in the history of the dynasty for a woman to inherit the throne!"

"The Fourth Prince is playful by nature and has absolutely no interest in cultivation!"

"Both the Second Prince and the Crown Prince are exceptionally talented, but one is troubled by love, and the other feigns being a playboy. They are far less powerful than Your Majesty!"

The old eunuch said that none of them seem to work.

But His Majesty knew that what they saw was only the surface.

"Humans have seven emotions and six desires, all of which are bound by countless worldly constraints, but this is not a reason to deny them."

“Chai Huan, if a person has nothing to care about, then he has no weaknesses.”
