After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 244 We won’t leave

Shiyue held the key in her hand, an expression of disbelief on her face, and asked in surprise: "Why? You went through so much trouble to catch us, but you let us go so easily?"

Eleven spread his hands helplessly, expressing his incomprehension, "There's nothing I can do. There are too many mouths to feed. I can't afford it."

Hearing this, Shiyue suddenly remembered that he and his brothers did eat a lot every day.

After staying here for a few days, every meal included both meat and vegetables, and was always hot. It was nothing like before when we had to eat leftovers.

After thinking for a moment, Shiyue looked back at the brothers standing behind him, then threw the key back to Shiyi and said, "We're not leaving."

Eleven was almost fainted from anger, and couldn't help but blame: "What do you mean by this? Are you still going to rely on us?"

Shiyue couldn't help but roll her eyes, her tone full of helplessness and anger: "You are the one who brought us here, but now you want to let us go. Aren't you letting us face that lunatic on our own?"

"That madman" was naturally what they called the Tenth Prince.

Eleven did not take the key, but threw it back, but he missed the target and the key fell into the well.

Eleven squatted, then said in a cold tone: "That's none of my business. Anyway, the word has been passed on, and it's none of my business."

Before he could finish his words, Eleven jumped off the wall and disappeared without a trace.

Shi Ri looked at the wet clothes in his hands and asked with a worried look on his face: "Brother, they are not really going to ignore us, are they?"

Shiyue pondered for a while and replied, "Probably not."

After observing for a period of time, he found that neither Youshi who delivered the meal, Chen Ying who was in charge of the guard, nor the young man who came and went without a trace, seemed to be evil people.

After thinking for a moment, Shiyue decided to clean up the messy yard first. After all, he might have to live here permanently in the future.

It snowed yesterday, and coupled with the chaos they had just caused, the yard was in a complete mess.

He picked up a broom and began to sweep the snow.

Seeing this, Shi Ri hurried to help fetch water and wipe the tables and chairs.

The others also found work to do.

Youshi still came to deliver food. It seemed that Shiyue’s guess was right. Those people would not just leave it alone.

In the middle of the night, when people were sleeping soundly, suddenly, a loud "boom" broke the peace of Kyoto.

In the second half of the night, it started snowing again, and Shiyue and the others were woken up and couldn't fall asleep again.

It was not until dawn that You came with a lantern.

Shi Ri quickly opened the door and let Youshi in.

The snow outside is already above the ankles.

As soon as Youshi entered the room, she put the key that Eleven had given her yesterday into Shiyue's hand, and then took out a heavy small cloth bag from her bag and put it in Shiyue's hand.

"You guys should leave quickly," said Youshi. "This money is enough for you to go far away. I can't help you with what happens next. You guys should take care of yourselves." After saying that, Youshi prepared to leave.

Shiyue called Youshi and asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"

Yu Shi paused for a moment as she opened the door. She looked at the heavy snow outside with a dazed look in her eyes, muttering to herself, "I wonder when this snow will stop falling."

After hearing this, Shiyue felt even more confused. He frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law?"

Yu came back to her senses and turned to look at Shiyue, with a trace of worry in her eyes. She said, "Did you hear the noise last night?"

Shi Ri nodded upon hearing this, with a look of fear on his face, "I heard it, sister-in-law. I was shocked. But what happened?"

Youshi sighed deeply and said in a heavy tone, "The bridge leading down the mountain from Shangguo Temple was blown up, and a lot of rocks fell last night."

As soon as Youshi finished speaking, everyone's faces turned serious. Everyone knew what the bombing of the bridge meant.

It was the middle of the night, and with such a loud noise, it was probably not just the bridge that was blown up.

The falling rocks may have a serious impact on the surrounding villages and even endanger the lives of the villagers.

This incident was most likely a conspiracy carefully planned by the Tenth Prince to eliminate Concubine Li and the newborn prince.

Thinking of this, Shiyue and others' faces became extremely ugly, and their hearts were filled with anger and disappointment.

They couldn't imagine that a person could be so cruel and unscrupulous as to achieve his goal. This behavior was simply outrageous.

Yu Shi sighed softly and said in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty is now bored in the palace and pretends not to hear anything about these things. Other officials are the same." Her eyes revealed helplessness and sadness.

"There's really no other way, sir, the young master has no choice but to ask us to help." Yu Shi continued, with a hint of bitterness in her voice.

After saying that, You turned to look at Shiyue, her eyes filled with deep concern and worry.

She said softly, "I may not have time to come and bring you food in the future. You should leave here as soon as possible while no one is paying attention to you."

Shiyue tightly grasped the keys and purse in his hands, feeling the weight they brought.

After Youshi left, Shiyue put the keys and purse on the table, then looked at the others quietly, "Make your own decision."

There was silence in the room, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people feel breathless.

Shixing was the first to break the silence. He quickly stepped forward, picked up the key, untied the chain on his feet, and then took out some silver from his purse.

After doing all this, he walked in front of Shiyue, half-knelt down, his eyes full of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Brother Shiyue." Shixing said in a low voice, his voice trembling.

Then, he stood up without hesitation, turned around and left the room, leaving the courtyard where he once lived a comfortable life.

With Shixing leading the way, the rest of the people followed suit.

In the end, there were only ten months and ten days left.

"Why don't you leave?" Shiyue asked puzzledly.

Shi Ri shook his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I won't leave. Wherever you go, I will go."

Shiyue smiled helplessly, reached out and gently touched Shiri's head, her heart full of emotion.

The two men used the key to open the chain, took the remaining money, packed up their things, and resolutely left the yard.

The world outside was covered in snow and the cold wind was so strong that it made their cheeks hurt.

Shiyue took her steps carefully, leaving deep footprints with every step.

After he went out, he looked around and finally locked his eyes on the door opposite. He took a deep breath and went forward to knock on the door.

The door slowly opened, revealing a strange face. Gu Ming looked at the two young men in front of him and asked curiously, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

Shiyue was stunned by the question and seemed a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and stammered, "Well... we... we look for..."

Gu Ming frowned and asked in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"
