C126 The Princess Felt Guilty and Wanted to Ask for Help

"I know, but what does that have to do with you?"

"Of course it has to do with you. I have a medicine. It is specially used to treat injuries. When I saw the notice, I immediately went into the Palace. After informing the Emperor of the reason for his visit, the Emperor brought me to see the unconscious Lord Lee. I fed him the medicine. Under normal circumstances, he should have woken up today. But I didn't think that he would have woken up, but the physicians said that it was the last rays of light. When I got the news, Lord Lee was already a corpse. "

"He. . . He really died? Are you sure? "

"Yes, I also don't believe that he would die just like that. So I checked and found that his breathing was completely gone. His pulse and heart were no longer beating, and his pupils were enlarged. He was indeed dead. "

"How could it be like this? Why did he die? "

"I heard from the doctors that he died because of his five viscera failure. "

"Then why are you feeling guilty?"

"How can I not feel guilty? I was confident that I would cure him, but I didn't expect it to become like this. Besides, if it wasn't for me, they might have found someone stronger than me. Lord Lee might not have died. "

"Alright, Yuer. This might be the will of heaven. Don't blame yourself too much. Don't cry anymore. If I were to say what you said, wouldn't I be the one who caused his death? Alright, no one would want things to end up like this. I think that since the Emperor asked General Qu to send you back, he didn't have any intention of blaming you. "

"But I just can't bear it in my heart. "

"Haha, silly girl, just think it over. Don't cry anymore. Go to your sister's place tonight. Your sister will cook something delicious for you. "

"Okay. " Sima Yuer wiped her tears and nodded.

"Then we have a deal. Sister, don't cry. If you cry again, I won't do it for you. "

"Yes, I won't cry anymore. "

"Alright then. I'll be leaving then. Go back and prepare. Come and find elder sister tonight. Elder sister will prepare a table of our delicious food for you to taste. "

"Then I'll give it to you. "

"There's no need to send me off. You must be very tired these few days. Have a good rest. I'll come and find you when the time comes. " After saying that, he stood up and left. After returning to his room, Ting'er and Yaner also followed him in.

"Head Protector, how is it?"

"I did not tell her about this matter. "

"Why?"

"I heard her say that Lee Xiangyu was dead. "

"What!?! Are you for real?"

"I can't be sure right now either. Judging from her guilty look, it doesn't look like it's for real. However, we can't easily believe this. We have to investigate this in secret. It would be great if she really died. "

"Yeah, we just said we were going to kill him. I didn't expect him to die on his own. It saved us a lot of trouble. Once he died, we solved a huge problem in our hearts. But how should we investigate? Isn't he in the palace? We are now under surveillance again. That makes it even more inconvenient. "

" Yeah, this is indeed a difficult problem, but we have to investigate this matter clearly. There's no good way now, let's take it one step at a time. I think the Emperor will give Lee Xiangyu a grand burial. When the time comes, we will act according to the situation. "

"En, alright then. What about the letter?"

"I have already used the excuse of making good food for Sima Yuer to come find me at night. Wait for her to come before talking. You guys go and prepare immediately and show Sima Yuer your skills. "

"This subordinate obeys. " As he spoke, he turned around and went to prepare.

In the blink of an eye, night fell once again. Sima Yuer changed her clothes and came in front of Xiner. Xiner pulled her to sit at the dining table. The two maidservants began to serve the dishes and looked at the table full of dishes. The color and fragrance really made Sima Yuer's appetite increase. The two of them drank and ate while chatting. They talked about Nameless and the matter of the house arrest. At this moment, Xiner suddenly became serious.

"Yuer, big sister needs your help with something. I wonder if little sister is willing to help. "

"Why are you so serious? Is it a big deal? Sister, just say it. As long as it's something I can do, I'll do it. "

" Hehe, actually it's not a big deal. It's just that I have a letter that I want to send back and tell them that I'm safe. "

"A letter?! Then why did elder sister ask me for help? Can't you just send it back yourself? "

"Isn't it a very special period now? Elder sister also told you just now. The Emperor clearly said that he sent people to protect me, but in reality, he sent people to monitor my every move. If I used a pigeon to send a letter, they would definitely think that I was leaking information. At that time, Big Sister would be in trouble. Why would Big Sister cause such trouble for the sake of a letter to report her safety? "

"That's true, alright. Then sister, give me the letter and the carrier pigeon. I'll let them go when I get back. "

"Haha, thank you, Yuer. But you can release it tomorrow during the day. I'm afraid that you will attract their attention if you release it as soon as you leave. When that happens, it'll be bad if you get tired of it again. "

"It's just a small matter. Why are you being so polite to me? I'm still very thoughtful. Alright, I've already had my fill. It's time to leave. Thank you for your hospitality, sister. "

"Then aren't you sad?"

"Sigh! What's the use of being sad? He's already dead. Forget it, I'm leaving. Give me the pigeon. "

"Ting'er, go and bring the pigeon to Yuer. "

After Ting'er finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. In a short while, she returned and took out the pigeon from her bosom and handed it to Sima Yuer.

"Then I will be leaving. " As she spoke, she got up and took the pigeon, hid it in her arms and walked out. Xiner also followed and sent it out.

After sending Yuer away, the three of them looked at each other and nodded. Xiner quickly changed into her night clothes and jumped out from the back window. Nanzhou and Jinluan Kingdom were only separated by one wall. She went to a corner and climbed over the wall. She quietly went to the roof of Sima Yuer's bedroom and took off the tiles to look down.

At this time, Xiner had already returned. She sent someone to find a cage to place the pigeon in and then put it on the table. "Pigeon, pigeon. Tomorrow you will be going home. Tonight you will rest here for a night. I will send you back tomorrow. " After saying that, she turned around and went to bed to rest.

Xiner saw that she did not take the secret letter from the pigeon's leg to peek and went to sleep. Satisfied, she nodded and quietly covered the tile with the tile before returning to her own room.

"How is it, Head Protector? Is there any danger?"

"No, Sima Yuer did not peek and went to sleep. It seems that I made the right use of her. "

"That's good. Then I am relieved. "

"Alright, it is late. Go to sleep. " With that said, they walked to the side of the bed. The two maids also turned around and left the room. They closed the door and returned to their rooms.

After General Qu sent Sima Yuer off, he returned to the Imperial Palace. The Emperor had arranged a new matter for her, which was Lee Xiangyu's funeral. It was really as Xiner had said. The Emperor wanted to give Lee Xiangyu a grand burial, but it was not a burial but a cremation.
