Mercenary Princess - Chapter 141
call……
With a sigh of relief, my heart sank into my stomach, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction washed over me. The emptiness in my chest was being filled with nameless emotions; for a moment, the world seemed to be filled with blooming flowers, fragrant and beautiful…
Thank goodness, he didn't lose her. Thank God, he was given a chance to make amends...
He tenderly cradled her peaceful face, his greedy gaze fixed on the woman who had haunted his dreams for years. His heart trembled uncontrollably, and his hands, touching her cheeks, quivered incessantly. The overwhelming emotions of having thought of her, longed for her, loved her, and suffered for her for so many years, thinking he had lost her forever, only to have her find unexpected joy and reunion, filled his heart with an indescribable thrill…
Seeing Dongfang Lie's unusually excited and joyful expression, Tuoba Jie knew she was safe and sound. His blood-red eyes remained gloomy, but a hint of struggle shone through the darkness. After a complex look at Rongyue, he resolutely turned and, taking advantage of the army's momentary lapse in concentration, stormed out of the palace…
...
Suddenly, everything became clear.
I stared at the purple crystal chandelier for a few seconds, then suddenly sat up as if startled, looking around at the floor-to-ceiling windows, the Simmons mattress, the air conditioner, the refrigerator, the LCD TV, and the leather sofa…
In that instant, the long-unseen modern furniture dazzled her eyes and stunned her.
What's going on?
Barefoot, she hurriedly ran to the mercury mirror, which was two meters high and one meter wide. Looking into the mirror, a little girl wearing Mickey Mouse pajamas and looking bewildered suddenly appeared in front of her!
She raised her hand in disbelief, touching the unfamiliar face. In the mirror, the 'she' making the same gesture told her a cruel truth—she had traveled back to the modern world, but into a completely unfamiliar body!
How could this be? Why did this happen? Can anyone tell her why she, who was in the Loulan Palace one moment, has suddenly appeared in the long-lost 21st century the next?
...
"What...what did you just call me?" Surprise mixed with confusion, Dongfang Lie gripped her shoulders, his face full of disbelief.
Not only Dongfang Lie, but Chu Xuyao also stared wide-eyed at the person who had just uttered those words as if he had seen a ghost.
"Cousin, what's wrong?" Looking at the two whose expressions had suddenly changed, she wondered to herself if she had said something wrong.
"Yue'er, you called me cousin! You actually called me cousin! Yue'er, say it again, say it again!"
In her eyes, Dongfang Lie's agitated and out-of-control expression was nothing short of a sign of anger.
Truly believing she had said the wrong thing, she trembled, her red lips bleeding and shaking uncontrollably: "Yue'er was wrong, Yue'er will never dare to do it again, please... please, Your Majesty, do not punish Yue'er..."
"Don't call me Emperor! Call me Cousin, Yue'er, call me Cousin!"
Not daring to disobey his command, she stammered, "Cousin...cousin..."
"Moon, my dear Moon!" He excitedly pulled her into his strong arms, and Dongfang Lie passionately pressed his lips to her delicate face, finding boundless satisfaction in her soft moans.
As she gradually came to her senses from the shock, she calmly considered her words and actions since waking up, and a deep sense of doubt filled her heart.
With a few strides, Chu Xuyao forcefully separated the two entangled individuals. His face was cold and icy, and with a swift grip, he lifted Rongyue up, saying, "What tricks are you playing now, woman!"
"Xu Yao!" Dongfang Lie pressed Xu Yao's hand down, his cold voice carrying a hidden threat.
Ignoring Dongfang Lie's warning gaze, Chu Xuyao's hawk-like sharp eyes were fixed on her, allowing her no room to flinch.
Who is this man? His eyes are so sharp...
She flinched, her pleading eyes turning to Dongfang Lie: "Cousin, save me..."
"Let go of Xu Yao! If you don't let go, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"
"Lie! Don't you think she's strange?!"
"The strange one is probably you! Xu Yao, you can't stand seeing Yue'er being nice to me, and you want to interfere. That's your real purpose, isn't it!"
"You!" Chu Xuyao was furious and turned his anger on the person in front of him: "Liu Rongyue! Tell me, what tricks are you playing!"
"Let me go! You're crazy, I don't even know you..."
"You don't recognize me?!"
"You don't know him?!"
Dongfang Lie and Chu Xuyao exclaimed in unison.
They exchanged a glance and realized that something was wrong.
"Do you know Tuoba Chen?" Staring into her eyes, Chu Xuyao didn't miss the slightest fluctuation, trying to find some clue.
He shook his head blankly.
"What about Dongfang Yao?"
"Huh? Isn't he... isn't he Prince Yao..." she said, while secretly glancing at Dongfang Lie, whose face looked unwell.
Do you know where you are now?
She looked around hurriedly, the unfamiliar environment making her feel a little scared: "Where...where is this? I clearly remember, I remember arguing with my father in his study..." As if realizing something, she suddenly stopped talking.
"Father? Study? Theory?!" Jie Jie's tone rose sharply, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
She glanced at him cautiously and said timidly, "It's about you changing Liu Ruxu to Empress, cousin..." At this point, she suddenly became resentful: "That Empress position was originally mine. I don't understand why you should take away what belongs to me for no reason. This is absolutely unfair to me!"
Shock, indescribable shock!!
The two men stood frozen in place, dumbfounded, staring at her slightly distorted face, unable to process what was happening for a long time.
She has amnesia; her memory is stuck on the period after he married her.
But after losing her memory, she became a stranger to them, as if some inexplicable sense of loss was permeating their lives.
