Chapter 652: Violent Proton + Crazy Princess 18
Chunhua Qiushi stared at the heavy yellow gold in his hands, his heart full of doubts and confusion.
Chunhua couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, this..." The words came to her lips but she swallowed them back. She actually wanted to ask where all the gold came from.
The two gold ingots sparkled brightly, exuding alluring charm.
However, Chunhua and Qiushi's hearts were filled with worry and anxiety.
Although the wealth before them was tempting, they were well aware of the complexity and dangers of the palace and were worried that the two gold bars would bring them trouble.
Yun Youran smiled slightly, as if seeing through the concerns in the two people's hearts.
Her eyes were gentle and firm, and she said softly, "Don't worry, just accept it. This is the gold and silver that my mother secretly left for me."
Hearing this, Chunhua and Qiushi looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Chunhua frowned and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, you had such a hard time before, why didn't you take it out earlier to improve your life?"
Yun Youran sighed softly and slowly explained, "Given my powerless situation and weak temperament, if I take out this gold, can I keep it?
I am afraid that before I can enjoy it, it will be taken away by others. Money can really tempt people!"
Qiu Shi nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and then raised another question: "Your Highness, you are obviously very capable, why didn't you fight back before, but instead let the princesses and princes bully you?"
Yun Youran raised her hand slightly and waved gently. Seeing this, Chunhua Qiushi hurriedly walked forward and approached her cautiously.
Yun Youran leaned forward, got close to Chunhua and Qiushi's ears, and said in a deliberately low voice:
"Do you know why my grandfather's family was brutally executed?"
As she said this, there was an unspeakable sadness and helplessness in her eyes.
After hearing this, Chunhua and Qiushi looked at each other and imitated Yun Youran, also lowering their voices and saying:
"Your Highness, I heard that it was because General Xiao betrayed his country! This matter was widely circulated at the time, and almost everyone in the capital knew about it."
However, Yun Youran shook his head firmly and said slowly: "This is pure nonsense! This is just a false accusation that my father forced upon the Xiao family.
In fact, the real reason is that my father is afraid of the divine power that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Xiao family, and he is afraid that one day the Xiao family will use this power to seize his throne. "
When Chunhua and Qiushi heard this, they were stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
They never imagined that there was such a shocking truth hidden behind it.
It took a long time for the two to come back to their senses.
Yun Youran looked at their shocked expressions and continued, "So, think about it carefully. If I hadn't deliberately pretended to be weak and incompetent, and had not been patient and yielded everywhere, would I have been able to live safely until now?"
After hearing this, Chunhua and Qiushi shook their heads involuntarily, their eyes reddened as they said, "Your Highness, you are really suffering too much..."
His words were filled with heartache and pity for Yun Youran.
At the beginning, the two of them had lamented more than once that Her Highness was obviously a princess of noble status, but she could only be slaughtered like a fish on a chopping board, and allowed to be bullied, insulted, and manipulated at will by those with ulterior motives.
It turned out that it wasn't that she was weak and unable to be independent, but that she simply couldn't resist.
The many frustrations and hardships forced her to swallow her anger and silently endure all the injustice and humiliation.
If she had been a little tougher, her life would have been in danger long ago.
Looking at the two people in front of him with expressions of pity, Yun Youran's expression was not disturbed at all, and he said calmly:
"As long as I can survive, what does it matter if I suffer a little injustice? It's better than losing my life.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge! "
Although she is a woman, the same principle applies.
At this time, Chunhua spoke again: "Your Highness, since you have been patient in the past, why do you suddenly decide to rise up and resist now, and no longer continue to endure and lie dormant?"
Yun Youran only uttered a few words slowly: "Because the time is ripe..." He stopped talking before he finished.
Seeing this, Chunhua and Qiushi also understood the situation and tacitly did not ask any further questions.
Your Highness is a far-sighted person and has a careful plan in mind.
As slaves, why should they talk too much? Your Highness will naturally tell them what they should know at the appropriate time.
Yun Youran was very satisfied with the two people's performance, which showed them how to be sensible and know when to stop.
At this time, Chunhua asked: "Your Highness, are you going to use these two ingots of gold to improve our current living conditions?"
Yun Youran shook her head, "No."
The corners of her mouth curled up into a graceful arc, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Then he continued in a voice as gentle as the breeze blowing across the lake:
"This is for both of you. I wanted to give it to you in the past, but I was powerless at that time and was worried that you wouldn't be able to keep it, so I kept putting it off until now."
When Chunhua Qiushi heard Yun Youran say that the two gold bars were for them, they were so excited that they almost jumped up.
The smile on his face was so bright that the corners of his mouth seemed to be reaching the back of his head.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"
Chunhua and Qiushi were extremely excited, but they didn't dare to make too much noise, so they hugged each other tightly, unable to suppress their inner joy, and jumped gently to express their inner happiness.
An hour later, Yun Youran withdrew his supernatural power, and Xiao Zhan slowly woke up.
He opened his eyes and looked above his head. After a moment, he sat up suddenly in shock.
Looking at the strange room, which was surrounded by silence, he threw back the covers and put on his boots.
He was clearly in the imperial study, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to help his cousin escape, but before he could do anything, he was picked up by his cousin and thrown out of the imperial study.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan became extremely worried. He quickly tidied his clothes, picked up his sword, opened the door, and walked out.
After walking out of the room, I saw a girl sitting in the yard basking in the sun.
Looking at the girl with her eyes closed and a look of enjoyment on her face, his eyes suddenly became misty and he felt a bitter feeling in his heart.
But for the safety of his cousin, he had no intention of going forward to recognize her.
At this moment, Yun Youran suddenly opened her eyes, looked at him, then waved her hand, motioning him to come closer.
Xiao Zhan quickly calmed down and walked towards her without any hesitation, "Meet Princess Anle."
"No need to be polite." Yun Youran nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "What's your name?"
Seeing him like that, she knew he had no intention of recognizing her, so Yun Youran just let him be.
"Your Highness, my name is Ji Xiao."
Yun Youran stood up and looked him up and down. "I am short of a guard. Are you willing to be my personal guard?"
