C6 Separation Is Imminent(2)

At that time, Chen Xiang did not know that the princess of Wei could not marry.

Tao Er would snort in disdain every time he heard this: "If he really is so happy that he faints, then I'll laugh my teeth out."

The two of them were still playing around, but in order to avoid being discovered by their master, they switched to underground work, often doing cat meowing. Then we'll go out and play.

Who would have thought that such an innocent and innocent life was coming to an end?

In the past, Chen Xiang and Tao Yu were always chatting, Tao Zi was experienced and knowledgeable, and the story he told was both vivid and interesting.

But ever since they parted ways, Chen Xiang talked about Yi Chen the most. For this reason, she even secretly went to the courtyard to look for him, only to discover that no one had lived there for a long time.

As Chen Xiang sat on the steps full of dead leaves, she imagined herself as a wife waiting for her husband to return home.

Perhaps, one day, he would be able to wait here for him.

Chen Xiang used a small branch to draw circles on the ground. Obviously, it was such a boring day, but when she thought of Yi Chen, it seemed to become meaningful.

Tao said that this was a typical sign of losing her mind, but Chen Xiang scoffed: "You don't understand. When you fall in love with someone, you'll know what it's like. " These words seemed to prick Tao Er's weak spot, when he retorted, he lost his confidence: "Who said I don't understand."

She looked like a big girl. Chen Xiang glanced at him. "Do you have anyone you like? Where is she, and what does she look like? " As if expecting him to not say anything, Chen Xiang patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "No need to force yourself, I won't laugh at you."

Tao Xuan slapped Chen Xiang's hand away and stood up. His eyes stared at Chen Xiang, and his face turned red. "The person I like, she's far away from the world …"

Chen Xiang looked at him as if he wanted to continue talking, and innocently blinked her eyes as she waited for him to finish.

This was the first time she had seen Tao. She was worried. Her eyes seemed to hide a lot of thoughts. Looking at her expression made it hard for people to understand what she was thinking. The two of them were in a deadlock for a moment, before Tao lost in the end. He sighed and sat down dejectedly. He said with a bit of regret, "Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Chen Xiang felt that he was trying to find an excuse for her. As a friend, she was considerate enough to not laugh at him again.

However, in the next second, Tao Er said in a muffled voice: "Chen Xiang, if I also left, would you miss me like you missed Yi Chen?"

"Of course not." Chen Xiang replied very quickly.

Tao looked up, a wounded look in his eyes.

Chen Xiang rarely saw him being so serious, so she laughed: "You're not Yi Chen, and you don't have any money, where can you go?" With that, he put his arm on Tao Er's shoulder and boldly said: "Don't worry, when I return to the palace, I'll have royal father bring you in to be my follower. "When that time comes, you will be able to soar to greatness, and will no longer have to inherit your parents' mantle and cultivate your land in the fields."

Tao Xuan almost choked to death with his saliva. He waved his hand with a disdainful look on his face: "Big sister, the followers of the princess are all eunuchs."

"What is a eunuch?" Chen Xiang wondered why Tao knew more about people of the same age than she did.

Tao Xuan stammered, "That …"

"I knew you didn't know."

"I know."

"Then tell me."

Facing Chen Xiang's confused face, Tao sighed: "Forget it, I don't know."

After that trip, Tao Xuan hadn't come to find Chen Xiang for a long time. Chen Xiang didn't care at first, but after the autumn was over and there was still no sign of Tao Wen, she started to worry.

She wanted to go to Tao, but only then did she realize that she had no idea where Tao lived or who his parents were.

This was the second major event that happened at the age of eleven — Tao's departure.

In this year, she had lost both the person she liked and her playmate since she was young.

At that time, she finally understood one thing. There is no such thing as an eternal banquet. What you think will never change has actually long quietly changed.

In the years after Tao's departure, Chen Xiang became more and more philosophical. Before, one could only see the surface of a problem, but now, one could always see through the essence of the matter.

For example, she was a so-called princess, a pitiful person whose life was limited by legend.

To put it bluntly, she seemed to be a noble and cold person who was being pursued by the world. She was nothing more than a victim of politics. That absurd dream was most likely used to bewitch the hearts of the people. Many times, the power of superstition was great, and it was also the easiest way to win people's hearts when it was the least troublesome.

That's why, when a person wants to overthrow an old dynasty, he says that he is the descendant of a dragon.

If it was paired with all these strange sights, it would prove that he was indeed extraordinary. Thus, the crowd was in full support of him, vowing to follow him by his side to the death.

The so-called gods and monsters were mostly intelligent people that created public opinion to deceive the less intelligent.

But so what if he could understand it? Sometimes, fated things couldn't be moved by anyone. For example, the destiny of Wei, or her life.

A princess who was associated with the survival of the country was destined to be the first target when the wall was pushed.

And at that time, Chen Xiang was no more than fourteen years old. She had thoroughly understood life, but not fate.

That summer was a rainy season.

There were floods all over Wei, and countless people drowned. The flood had receded, but because too many people had died, it had become a plague. The epidemic spread so fast and without any special medicines that in just a few months, a third of the citizens of the country of Wei had died.

Even the warriors who had previously rebelled were gone. Everyone seemed to not even have the strength to shout "Help". They could only open their mouths wide and breathe before they died. However, his breathing became weaker as well. Eventually, it became dead silent.

No one wanted to overthrow this dynasty anymore, and no one was active in the preparations for the rebellion.

This country was like a tomb.
