The night was dark and the room was silent.

However, Xuanyuan Ye tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

From time to time, that smiling and expectant voice would ring in her ears. “I’ve found my daughter.”

How ironic. She’d been there all along, waiting for him to look back.

She suddenly thought of her mother, that gentle woman who spoke softly.

If she knew about this, she would definitely be even sadder than her.

Moreover, she was no longer her father’s only bloodline. Would her imperial uncle and grandmother dote on her like before?

Speaking of which, they cared about her father the most. Would they spoil his other daughter more because of their father’s biased love?

She could almost see the gloating gazes of her cousins.

Xuanyuan Ye regretted not listening to her mother and stubbornly coming to Great Xia. At the same time, she was glad that she had grasped the initiative.

Although they were on the mountain, the temperature in July was still very high. Xuanyuan Ye felt inexplicably cold. It was a coldness that came from her bones.

She curled up in a thin blanket. After an unknown period of time, she returned to the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

In the Prince Jing’an’s residence, guests were everywhere.

Not only did the upper echelons of the Xuanyuan Kingdom come, but even her imperial uncle personally presided over it. They were all smiling as they lined up to give her their coming-of-age gifts and blessings.

However, just as her emperor’s uncle got someone to read the imperial edict to confer her the t.i.tle of princess, his father walked in with a girl.

The scene changed. That girl was surrounded by stars, while she and her mother were abandoned in a corner of the residence.

The people she looked down on in the past came to mock her.

Look, she was just someone who occupied a magpie’s nest.

Why did they have to use the word “dove occupying a magpie’s nest”? She was also her father’s daughter!

“I didn’t…” Xuanyuan Ye suddenly sat up, her eyes wide as she took in deep breaths of fresh air.

The morning light shone through the window paper, allowing her to see her surroundings clearly.

“Princess, are you awake? Can I come in?”

Bai Zhi’s voice came from outside the door.

Xuanyuan Ye felt that her head was dizzy, as if she had not rested all night. She hammered her dull head.

It took her a long time to realize where she was and what Demon had reported before she fell asleep.

Xuanyuan Ye’s eyes darkened. “Come in.”

As soon as she spoke, she realized that her voice was hoa.r.s.e.

The door was pushed open with a creak. Bai Zhi came in with a basin of water. She placed the basin aside and walked to the bed as usual to help Xuanyuan Ye change.

Noticing Xuanyuan Ye’s pale face, she couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Princess, you didn’t sleep well last night. Do you want to sleep again?”

“No need. What time is it?” Xuanyuan Ye said indifferently.

“Just past five.” Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Bai Zhi didn’t dare to say anything else.

Xuanyuan Ye frowned. “Go get some water first. I want to take a shower.”

Her inner clothes were drenched in cold sweat and stuck to her body. It was especially uncomfortable.

After taking a shower, Xuanyuan Ye asked Bai Zhi to put on some makeup for her to cover her haggard face.

By the time she was done packing, the sky was already bright outside.

“Let’s go and pay our respects to Father.”

Bai Zhi opened her mouth, but in the end, she followed silently.

Ji Yunxi came to check on Xuanyuan Ce early in the morning.

She retracted her hand. “It seems that His Highness rested very well last night. As I said, don’t worry about overthinking.”

Xuanyuan Ce nodded. “I feel much better today. Thanks to the medicine you prescribed, I slept well.”

He looked at the s.p.a.ce between Ji Yunxi’s eyebrows and said casually, “I’ve been in Great Xia for a few days and have long heard of Miss Ji’s medical skills. I wonder who your master is?”

Ji Yunxi paused. “I’ve just been influenced by my mother since I was young.”

“Who’s your mother?” Xuanyuan Ce asked anxiously.

Ji Yunxi looked over strangely.

Xuanyuan Ce coughed and explained, “I just feel that someone who can teach someone like you must be even more extraordinary. If she’s famous, I might have heard of her before.”

Ji Yunxi nodded thoughtfully. Then, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry. My mother once instructed me not to tell anyone her name.”

Chu Feng had only followed Xuanyuan Ce after he left Phoenix City. He did not know what had happened back then, but Xuanyuan Ce had not avoided him during his conversation with the abbot, so he had more or less guessed something.
