Chapter 38 The Past (Part 2)

Xunxue was mixed with feelings at this time, and she didn't expect that she was the granddaughter of Emperor Yan.

She looked around the women in the courtyard and suddenly fell to the ground, saying sincerely: "Sisters, you have suffered because of my mother. Now my mother's life and death are uncertain. Xunxue apologizes to you for her!"

The women hurriedly surrounded Xunxue and helped Xunxue up, saying, "Princess Xunxue, what are you doing? How can you afford it? Although our situation is related to your mother, it is ultimately the will of the Emperor of Heaven."

For more than twenty years, these women have missed their masters, so they mistakenly thought Xunxue for her mother Zong Xiang. Xunxue was the daughter of the Demon Lord after Emperor Yan and the daughter of the Demon Lord. It is not inappropriate for these women to call her a princess.

Xun Xue is no longer tired of the word "princess". "My mother is a princess, and I am also a princess. Has God arranged this long ago?" Xun Xue was puzzled. Thinking that his mother's whereabouts are unknown, tears kept rolling in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, wiped the tears in her eyes with her sleeve, and said slowly: "Sisters, my mother left the Demon Kingdom fifteen years ago. I really miss her for so many years." When Xunxue said this, tears in her eyes surged out like a tide. She did not tell the reason why her mother left without saying goodbye, so as not to feel sad again in the presence of the women present.

The women all looked at Xunxue, looking forward to her continuing to talk.

When Hie saw this scene, a burst of soreness flashed in his heart, and he felt deeply distressed about Xunxue's experience. He took a long time in his chest, and finally found Xunxue's white silk handkerchief and hurriedly handed it over.

Xunxue did not take the handkerchief as usual, but instead leaned her entire head into Yuxi's arms.

Hie was a little shocked and looked at the women in the courtyard. His face felt slightly hot. He said in a panic: "Sister Xunxue, don't be too sad. I will be with you whether in the sky or on the ground. Now my uncle is just missing. We must have a way to find her."

Xun Xue knew that this was the words to comfort him, but she raised her head and looked at his eyes. Her beautiful face slightly pointed down and said in a soft voice: "Brother Xi, I believe in you. You are the only man I like. If you don't even believe it, life will be meaningless."

Seeing this, the women looked at each other and finally smiled. After they learned about Xunxue's true identity, they were inconvenient to care about the two couples, and then they retreated back to Fengling Tower with great tact.

As he gently stroked Xunxue's long hair, he felt a fragrance coming to his face. He suddenly felt a little thoughtful in his heart, and he thought, "Qi Xi, aren't you just an ordinary boy? Why are you so lucky to make Emperor Yan's granddaughter fall in love with me? Although he is imprisoned with Xunxue, he finally has a lover to meet again, and my wish in this life has finally come true."

After half a stick of incense, Xunxue's mood finally calmed down. At this time, a sound of conversation sounded at the door of Fengling Tower.

"Is there anyone still visiting Fengling Tower so late?" Zhixi and Xunxue didn't know what was going to happen outside, so they quickly flew into Fengling Tower.

The two of them climbed the five-story building in one breath, but they did not see the women they had before downstairs.

When he arrived upstairs, Yuxi poked his head out of the window. After a while, he didn't see anyone pushing the door in. He looked at the quiet sky outside the Fengling Tower, and a feeling of melancholy rose from his chest.

"Feng Linglou is so strange, so lifeless. I am a teenager who usually yearns for a free life. Now I am locked in such a place. If Xunxue is not around, I would have to kill myself before the wind can send me to the Soul Burning Cliff."

When I looked around the building, I saw that the display inside was very simple, with only forty or fifty stools surrounding several wooden tables. The layout here is similar to the world, not like a illusion like a crystal palace.

In Fengling Building, there are more than ten portraits hanging on each floor, which depicts the daughter of Emperor Yan, Zong Xiang. She sometimes rode on a horse and ran, sometimes set off a bow and shot from afar, sometimes played the piano and played the song, sometimes got up and danced...

Although Laixi was nervous about being in prison, he still pointed to one of the paintings and said to Xunxue: "No wonder those women mistakenly thought you were my aunt. You really look too similar. Even if it were me, they might not be able to tell who was who."

Xun Xue was already sitting on the stool, staring at him fiercely, and said in a slight angrily: "Brother Xi, you are not serious. If you are so confused again, the little girl will ignore you."

Hie laughed and said, "Sister Xunxue, I'm joking with you. You are a cute princess, how dare I make you angry." He paused for a moment and said, "If we don't say some jokes and funny in the long warden night, then we would be suffocated to death."

Xun Xue smiled slightly and said softly, "You are afraid of being bored, we are not afraid." Lin Xi turned his head, nodded heavily, and laughed, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot. Your mother's maids have lived here for more than 20 years, and I really want to know how they came."

"If it weren't for the portrait of the princess, we would have lived to be today long ago." A woman dressed in beautiful clothes and elegant hair accessories said, holding the railing. Behind her were forty-eight women, with no decadent faces on her face.

Xunxue hurriedly called them downstairs. The women stood neatly and walked down the stairs in an orderly manner.

After everyone sat down on the stool, Xunxue asked, "Sisters, what are your names?" The leading woman's face turned dark and she said softly, "We are the maids of Princess Zongxiang, where can we enjoy the name?"

After hearing this, I felt strange, and then I thought about it and felt relieved again.

During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors thousands of years ago, names were precious. Only noble men and women could have names, and ordinary people were distinguished by appearance. Those women who were noble slaves naturally had no names or surnames.

Xunxue didn't understand this truth and said angrily: "It's so outrageous! We are both women. I have a nice name, and you should have a name too." The women didn't say anything after hearing this, and seemed to have not cared about their names in their hearts.
