Chapter 10, The Pigeon Messenger

Unclear about the reason, a large number of people from various countries are now rushing here. What should the princess do?" Lan Yi looked at Princess Yu Xuan

Ah? Xiao Hanyu lowered her face in disappointment

Alright! Alright! I understand, I am just a child, I will not concern myself with your matters, do as you please!" Xiao Hanyu pouted. Uncle Lan is so nice! Why can't my mother understand that!

Uncle Lan went to fetch ?

Yuer! You child! Always teasing your mother!" Princess Yuxuan blushed and shot a glance at Xiao Hanyu, how could such a small child understand everything?

Hehe... Is mother shy? Uncle Lan is indeed very nice! It is only natural for you to like Uncle Lan, mother.

How many people are left in the Blue Garden now? Princess Yuxuan pondered and said

"Who said that? I am not afraid at all!" Xiao Hanyu twisted her neck, for she was a new woman from the twenty-first century, and she would never allow her country to lose face.

Princess Yuxuan understood his meaning, turned her head to look at Xiao Hanyu, who was nervously watching her. She also wanted to know what had happened, looking at her mother with anticipation, hoping that she would not be driven away

It seems that we cannot leave now. Princess Yuxuan slowly sat down; she had known for years that this day would come, but she did not expect it to arrive so soon

It is too late; the five nations have blocked all the roads in every direction, leaving only the Tianqian Cliff. However..." Lan Yi fell silent at this point.

"Hehe... Mother knows that my Yuer is not afraid." Princess Yuxuan smiled affectionately and reached out to pat Xiao Hanyu's little head

"It is not that it cannot be done, but it is simply not with mother at the moment." Princess Yuxuan said, looking at the hopeful little face of Xiao Hanyu, unable to bear it.

Yuer! What are you thinking? Are you scared?" Princess Yuxuan smiled as she looked at the little one's ever-changing face.

Come in! Princess Yuxuan glanced at Xiao Hanyu, then turned her head to look outside the door and called out softly

"It is!" Lan glanced at Princess Yuxuan, pressed his lips together and said: "Lanyuan has been exposed."

"Uncle Lan is different from others." Princess Yuxuan's eyes flickered with a few warm hues as she smiled at Xiao Hanyu and spoke softly.

She could see that Lan Ziyun truly loved her mother, but it was her mother who could not move on. Xiao Hanyu thought that her mother did have feelings for Lan Ziyun; otherwise, the occasional glance she cast towards him would not carry a hint of regret, for only those who have feelings would feel regret.

"Everyone must leave through the secret passage, and do so immediately; those who can leave, should leave." Yu Xuan decisively issued the command

Xiao Hanyu was feeling extremely depressed! She had always been a person who was relatively content with the status quo, and her greatest aspiration was to lead a peaceful life. Now, her beautiful dream has been shattered

She has come to understand that over four years of familial affection has triumphed over her meager selfishness. She wants to stay, knowing that her mother will not leave, so she too will not depart. They will live together or die together, even though she is aware that the hope for life is slim.

Mother! What about that book in your hand? Let me take a look." Xiao Hanyu suddenly remembered the book "The Book of No Words"; she was extremely curious about it and wanted to see if it was indeed something from that world.

However, imagination is always beautiful; she always feels that something is missing between them. Yes, it is the absence of that tender feeling, more like that of siblings.

She frowned as she looked at Princess Yuxuan, wondering how such a good mother could possibly provoke that wretched book, causing her to be confined in this miserable garden since birth

"Yuer! You are still too young; you do not understand," Princess Yuxuan sighed

Mother! I am not a child. Xiao Hanyu glared, for what child could endure such persecution from you?

"Hmm! Is it okay, Mother?" Xiao Hanyu looked at Princess Yuxuan with an expectant expression on her small face

"Princess?" Lan Yi called softly, waiting for the princess to give her command

In recent years, apart from teaching her studies, the young lady has spent her days playing the guqin with Lan Ziyun, admiring flowers, playing chess, and savoring tea. The worries that once clouded her brow have gradually diminished, and she has become much more cheerful.

"Mother! There is nothing that is or isn't suitable; as long as you like it, that is enough." Xiao Hanyu comforted Princess Yuxuan, as the views of ancient people were indeed too outdated, and her mother, who was unparalleled in talent, was no exception

"Does Yuer want to read that book?" Princess Yuxuan was taken aback

Sometimes, Xiao Hanyu even feels that she and Lan Ziyun are truly a perfect match. Lan Ziyun is calm and elegant, a young gentleman in white with a graceful demeanor, while her mother is stunningly beautiful, possessing both charm and talent. They play music together in perfect harmony, resembling a pair of immortal lovers

What happened? Princess Yuxuan was startled and stood up. Xiao Hanyu also looked at Lan Yi with concern.

Xiao Hanyu let out a couple of awkward chuckles, her small face flushed slightly. Not afraid? It would be strange if she were not afraid

Princess! As soon as Xiao Hanyu's words fell, a man's voice came from outside the door, sounding quite anxious.

The door was pushed open, and a person rushed in from outside. Xiao Hanyu recognized that the visitor was Lan Yi, the dark guard from Lanyuan, who seemed to be the messenger responsible for delivering information about his mother.

"Is it still possible to make it if we leave now?" Princess Yuxuan's face was pale as she looked at Lan.

Princess Yuxuan's complexion turned pale once again, and Xiao Hanyu's small face had also gone deathly white. Tianqian Cliff, that is a bottomless abyss!

Hmm

Mother, do you trust Uncle Lan so much? Doesn't Uncle Lan want that book? Wasn't it said that everyone in the world is vying for it?" Xiao Hanyu looked at Princess Yuxuan

Seeing the grave expression on the newcomer, Xiao Hanyu felt a jolt in her heart, wondering if the saying 'fear brings what one fears' was coming true. She turned to glance at Princess Yuxuan, who merely changed her expression slightly before sitting still and watching the entering Lan Yi.

"It’s alright, go ahead and speak!" Princess Yuxuan, seeing that Xiao Hanyu was unwilling to leave, did not insist and turned to look at Lan Yi.

She lowered her head to look at herself, her small arms, small legs, and tiny body; wasn't she just waiting to be at the mercy of others

There are approximately four hundred people

"No! Mother, I don't want to. I want to be with you." Xiao Hanyu suddenly jumped down from the chair and grabbed Princess Yuxuan's arm.

Oh... Uncle Lan is different from others..." Xiao Hanyu elongated her tone, looking warmly at Princess Yuxuan

Ah! Your Uncle Lan is indeed very good, but Mother is not worthy of him! The expression of Princess Yuxuan darkened.

However, the heart of the young mother has not yet completely died; she has not truly let go of everything. She thinks that Lan Ziyun might have noticed this as well. He cleverly transformed his approach, striving to interact with the young mother in a natural manner. Xiao Hanyu believes that if no unforeseen circumstances arise, Lan Ziyun will eventually achieve his desires.

"Yuer, do not be disappointed. Your mother has already sent Uncle Lan to fetch you. I believe he will return in a couple of days." Princess Yuxuan looked at the little one and smiled gently.

However, one's life is quite important! What should be done? Should she quietly leave to live her peaceful life? Or should she stay by her mother's side? Xiao Hanyu is engaged in a tug-of-war within her own contradictions

Alas! Why couldn't she have been born into an ordinary family? Why couldn't she have come from the womb of an ordinary woman? ... She thought ... ... Uh. ... ... This line of thinking seems a bit heartless; her little mother has been so good to her, to the point of being cherished as if she were afraid of melting in her mouth

Princess Yuxuan was taken aback, turning to look at Xiao Hanyu beside her, her eyes narrowing: "You must take Yuer away now."

"Yes! I will arrange it right away." Lan nodded slightly, and then seeing that Princess Yuxuan remained seated and unmoving, he anxiously said, "Princess, what about you and the young master?"

"You are four years old, what else could you be if not a child?" Princess Yuxuan glared at Xiao Hanyu with a hint of reproach.

"Princess! A message has arrived by carrier pigeon!" Lan Yi glanced at Xiao Hanyu, who was sitting motionless beside Princess Yuxuan, and paused for a moment before bowing to Princess Yuxuan.

What is it? Princess Yuxuan asked calmly

Uh... Lan Yi glanced at Xiao Hanyu once more, hesitatingly turning to look at Princess Yuxuan
