Chapter 1041: One Year VI

“Gu Yiyi, you are late this time.”

***

Gu Yiyi raised her eyes only to see Young Princess You Lan running up to her.

The young princess’s eyes were glistening with light. They were even more dazzling than the stars sparkling in the sky.

Nevertheless, Gu Yiyi loved Feng Ruqing’s deep eyes.

The young princess smiled radiantly, two little dimples could be seen plastered on her fair and delicate face. She looked irresistibly lovely.

Still, Gu Yiyi loved Feng Ruqing’s eyes that curved into crescent moons when she smiled.

The young princess was full of life, she was so delicate, just like a tiny little flower.

However, Gu Yiyi loved Feng Ruqing’s formidable and domineering demeanor.

Both You Lan and Feng Ruqing were princesses, but they were so different.

‘When will I leave this annoying place? I want to bury my head in Xiao Qing’s warm embrace…’ Gu Yiyi felt a sudden urge to cry and heaved a soft sigh.

“I truly have no idea when I will leave this place.”

‘The people here are crazy, they have lost their minds!’

Here, the spirit beasts were no different than sitting ducks. The people here had made the spirit beasts a living target and shot arrows at them just for fun.

Startled, You Lan went pale and stared dazedly at Gu Yiyi. She hesitated for a while, but soon she took Gu Yiyi’s hand and pulled her aside.

The servants were quite far from Gu Yiyi and You Lan. Hence, no one had heard Gu Yiyi’s words.

“Do you really want to leave?” You Lan raised her head and stared solemnly at Gu Yiyi.

The eldest prince had always been vicious. You Lan was more afraid of the eldest prince than the emperor.

Gu Yiyi was brought into the palace by the eldest prince. It just so happened that You Lan had met Gu Yiyi in the eldest prince’s chamber and they had hit it off right from the first time they met. However, if You Lan helped Gu Yiyi leave the palace, the eldest prince would surely kill You Lan.

“I am not here on my own will. I was seized and brought into this place. This place is like a prison. I can hardly breathe. Moreover, I can’t see Xiao Qing.”

Gu Yiyi had escaped a few times, but all in vain. Although that person did not punish her, she was being monitored even more closely now. She was not even allowed to step out of the back garden. Gu Yiyi simply had no idea if she could see Feng Ruqing for the rest of her life.

“You Lan, please don’t tell your brother that I want to leave. Although he knows this, whenever I grab the chance, I will leave. I don’t belong here.”

“I will help you.” You Lan bit her lower lip.

Stunned, Gu Yiyi smiled wryly and shook her head.

Whenever Guyiyi thought of Feng Ruqing, she could not help grumbling. She had never thought of getting any help from the people of Tianyue Kingdom.

After all, this kingdom belonged to the eldest prince.

“There is no need. If my father and Xiao Qing know this, they will come to my rescue. I am waiting for them.”

You Lan held onto Gu Yiyi’s hand tightly.

“No, if you don’t want to marry him, you must leave as soon as possible. Yesterday, I heard my eldest brother told my father that he wants to make you his consort and my father has agreed!”

“Are you sure?” Hearing this, Gu Yiyi’s heart trembled and her voice quivered.

“Yes!” You Lan said resolutely.

Gu Yiyi burst into tears like a dull booby.

“No way! I want to marry Xiao Qing. If worse comes to worst, I would rather be Xiao Qing’s second aunt than marrying this bastard!”

“I know how painful it is to marry someone you don’t love.” You Lan shook her head with a wry smile.

“Even if you haven’t told me this, I am going to tell you something. My mother was my father’s dearest consort. However, my mother did not love my father. She was forced to leave the man she loved to be married to my father. My mother… ended up collapsing into a dreary depression before she eventually died. It is so heartbreaking to get married to someone you don’t love. Gu Yiyi, I want to help you!”
