Chapter 12 Where's the Princess?

Fifth Princess finished her words and court eunuchs and palace maids soon came forward to catch Yun Xi. Fifth Princess was a real princess. No one would betray her and pity Yun Xi who was pathetic and abandoned. What Yuer did was the most surprising. At this moment, she saw Princess Xi being taken away. Yuer was hiding in the yard. Instead of coming out to help, she was watching this drama. She even took pleasure in Princess Xi’s misfortune. Yuer always looked down on this sacrifice princess. She was actually the reason why Princess Xi was taken away by Fifth Princess. Yuer always remembered Yun Xi’s attitude towards her. Surrounded by Crown Prince and Senior General, the princess always did not want her by her side. She was nothing but a captive princess. How could she be so arrogant? Even Yue, who thinks highly of “her” own extraordinary martial arts, did not respect her. Yuer hoped that Yun Xi would never be back. Because she was overwhelmed by jealousy, and she didn’t realize that if something bad happened to Princess Xi, she would also die. Yuer was still not mature enough. Princess Xi had disappeared for a whole day, but she was still acting as if nothing had happened. When Yue was back, he asked her where the princess was. She was unwilling to tell him. Yuer was arrogant and asked Yue to find her by himself in a satirical tone Yue was a man who never hurt a woman. However, he was being so angry that he seized her by the neck to force her to look at him. He had tried his best to suppress his anger. Otherwise, he might choke her accidentally. No matter what, now she was the only one who knew where Princess Xi was. "Yuer, you’d better be honest and tell me the truth. Where is the princess?" Yue was very anxious now. Yun Xi had never disappeared before. A kind of bad feeling was tormenting him. "You are a bi*ch! Just strangle me if you can! Strangle me, and you will never find the princess. You guys always look down on me. Now if you beg me... if you kneel, maybe I will tell you her whereabouts." "I beg you. Please tell me where the princess is. The princess is not loved, but she is the sacrifice of Yun. If something bad happens to her, you will also die." Yue finally let go of Yuer's neck. When Yuer could breathe freely, she looked at him more arrogantly. He was a strong man, but now he knelt to beg Yuer. He didn't care about how Yuer humiliated him. However, he felt hurt when saying Yun Xi was a sacrifice. He had to frighten Yuer because a bad feeling was still haunting him. As expected, Yuer was bad but she still didn't want to die. Now she also couldn't calm down. Yue saw her reaction and stood up with a frown, "What happened to the princess?" Yuer was on pins and needles now and pulled the sleeves of Yue. Now she did not know what to do, "Yue, I didn’t do it on purpose... I did not do anything... I only saw the princess taken away by Fifth Princess. They have been away for almost one day... What should we do? If the princess had an accident, we also couldn't survive. Yue clenched his fists unconsciously. Now he wanted to kill the girl in front of him, but he couldn't do so. After all, this was not her fault. However, if something bad happened to Yun Xi, he would make Yuer a sacrifice. Now he was very worried, but he still had to calm down. He asked Yuer to tell the prince what had happened as soon as possible. Yue ignored everything and rushed to Fifth Princess’s palace desperately. He knew that Fifth Princess had a crush on Yun Zhi. He was also aware of the fact that Yun Zhi liked Yun Xi. However, it never occurred to him that Fifth Princess would cause Yun Xi any trouble. Yue prayed in his mind over and over again. He hoped God could be merciful and wouldn't hurt the poor girl once again. Yue now did not care whether his special identity would be exposed. At this moment, he only cared about her, and he only wanted to save her in time. Yuer rushed to the palace of Crown Prince Yun Su. Now she finally noticed how serious this incident was. However, she was stopped outside the prince's bedroom. She was like a cat on hot bricks. When she did not know what to do, she saw Yun Zhi who came to discuss something with Yun Su. She cried and begged Senior General Yun Zhi— "General Yun, please take me to meet Crown Prince. Our princess was taken away by Fifth Princess. She has been there for one day. I beg you to take me to see Crown Prince. I am afraid the princess is now in danger." Yun Zhi recognized Yuer. When he heard her words, he felt so helpless. He soon asked someone to take Yuer to meet Yun Su. Indeed, the only one who could discipline Fifth Princess and help Princess Xi was Crown Prince. However, now he didn't care about such a fact. He was worried that the girl he liked was in danger, so he rushed to the Fifth Princess’s place first. The light from the outside was slowly getting dim and couldn't enter a small room in the courtyard of the Fifth Princess’s palace. The sun went down, but no candles were lit in the room. In the light about to disappear, a beautiful and pure girl in a white dress could be seen. Now both of her hands were tied up as a straight line on a wooden frame. Golden yellow light dyed the girl’s empty eyes with a mysterious color. The girl closed her eyes. There were drops of water on her eyelashes. The girl's pink lips seemed to drain of color. Only the faint breathing could prove that she was still alive. Yun Xi's face, hair, and white clothes were all wet, dripping with water. The water from the well was colder than normal water. Some court eunuchs and palace maids were standing near her. They were pouring buckets of well water on this thin girl in white. Wet clothes clung to the skin. Well water was biting cold. Her whole body was frozen. Wet clothes could flatter her perfect figure but it's a shame that no one could appreciate it at this moment. Yun Xi was like a drenched chicken. She was still attractive but she looked much paler. Her face did not have the redness of the skin and was so pale that it looked a little scary. She was lovely but desperate, which made people feel so pitiful. Palace maids, court eunuchs, or guards mighty also felt sorry for her. However, no one had the nerve to pity her. After all, Fifth Princess was never a nice lady. No one wanted to get into trouble. In front of Princess Xi, near the door, a charming and elegant girl was sitting there. She was the one behind this incident, Fifth Princess. She was now in a good mood. Yun Xi was frozen and went faint, but she was awakened by ice water again and again. This girl had a pretty and pitiful face. She had been as cold as an iceberg, and now she became a real icy beauty. Fifth Princess was so happy to witness this.
