"Hmm..."
Su Yan stayed on the ground for a while.
She muttered, "Hungry."
She laid on the carpet, not wanting to get back up and lie back on the bed.
After a while, she sat up slowly, her eyes moist and clear.
The sheets that had been wrapped around her tightly had been scattered by her series of actions.
Her slightly pinkish skin was exposed to the air.
Su Yan lowered her head, only to find that she was wearing nothing and was naked.
She blinked, and the memories from before she fell asleep flooded into her head.
She remembered that it was raining.
She was feeling irritable and a little out of control.
While thinking about it, she raised her hand and pulled the sheets to cover herself.
Suddenly, my eyes inadvertently glanced at the red raindrop crystal-embedded bracelet on her right hand.
She looked at the bracelet for a long time.
Xiaohua remarked, "Huh? This bracelet hasn't disappeared."
According to what happens after it was summoned several times, this bracelet will always appear every time the host mobilizes her body to fight.
But after the fight, the bracelet will disappear automatically.
But this time, the bracelet was still on her wrist, which surprised Xiaohua.
Xiaohua finished speaking and looked at its host, who made no reply and was still staring at the bracelet.
It couldn't suppress the urge to gossip in its heart, and asked, "Host, was this bracelet given to you by someone?"
Su Yan nodded, "Yes."
"Then, does this bracelet have an important meaning to the host?"
Su Yan thought for a while in silence.
"En, it's important."
Hearing her answer, Xiaohua had the urge to gossip even more.
"Host! Was it a man who gave it to you?"
"It was a child."
"Ah?"
Hearing this answer, Xiaohua felt a little frustrated. It turned out to be a little doll that gave it to her, and it had thought that there would be surprises.
Su Yan continued in a frank way.
"But he said that he was five thousand years old."
"What?!"
Xiaohua was stunned.
"Then, how old was the host at that time?"
"Thirteen years old."
Xiaohua heard, and asked with joy,
"Two little dolls? Green plums?"
A five-thousand-year-old child?
Xiaohua was dubious.
Maybe... that little doll just wanted to trick its family's simple host and said it casually.
After all, until now, it has not heard of anyone in the Nine Heavens who had lived for five thousand years but looked like a child.
Su Yan stared at the bracelet for a long time. She didn't tell Xiaohua that when it rained, Xuanyuan Yonghao's blood dripped on it, and it actually reacted with the bracelet.
The bracelet will not recognize the wrong person, so Xuanyuan Yonghao is that child.
But why is he here?
Did he come to practice in the planes?
These thoughts have obviously exceeded Su Yan's current brain capacity.
A headache came.
She didn't think about it anymore, and opened her eyes and got up from the ground.
It was dark outside now; it was already late at night.
Continue to sleep or eat?
After struggling with the two choices for a while, she still wrapped herself tightly and walked to the door.
She was too hungry to go back to sleep.
When she arrived at the door of the room, she heard voices from the other side of the door.
"Your Highness, seven days later, when the envoys visit the country, I'm afraid that the crown prince and second prince will fight for marriage with the princess."
Xuanyuan Yonghao's light voice sounded.
"Marriage?"
"Yes."
Then Xuanyuan Yonghao's voice containing a hint of a smile came.
"How can a dead princess marry?"
Nan Tang immediately replied, "This subordinate understands!"
"Beat the grass to startle the snake, don't worry."
"Yes."
Xuanyuan Yonghao pushed the door open and stepped into the room.
TL Notes: Green plum = childhood sweethearts
Beat the grass to startle the snake is a Chinese idiom... Also part of the Thirty-Six Stratagems. Basically do something unusual to stir up the suspicion of the enemy, and disrupt their thinking.
But you could also say it in another way... "Don't beat the grass to startle the snake," which means the opposite- don't do anything suspicious. But the former makes more sense here, b/c they're planning on killing a princess, after all.
