Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 385 Xiu Yang’s Experience (4)

"What... what?"

"His Majesty decreed the family extermination of the Shangguan Hidden Clan. There is no longer a Shangguan Hidden Clan in this world." The slight red lips parted slightly, and her eyes watched closely for every minute expression on Feng Xuxu’s face.

After hearing this, Xiu Yang was completely in shock. The fury, hatred, and unwillingness from before all turned to ash in an instant, and soon after, she started laughing bitterly.

"Your father and your brother are very worried about you. Let’s leave the Imperial Palace together, and start a new life."

Since hearing about the extermination of the Shangguan Hidden Clan, Xiu Yang felt as if everything had become clear. She seemed to understand something and, shaking her head, she turned to Feng Xuxu, "Princess Mei, thank you for your kindness. I’ve taken it to heart, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to step out of this Imperial Palace again in this life. Even if I wanted to leave, His Majesty would not allow it."

"Don’t worry, His Majesty will listen to...,"

Upon hearing this Xiu Yang, clutching Feng Xuxu’s hand, shook her head, "No, Princess Mei, please don’t go. I already belong to him. Even if I am to die, I’ll die here in the palace." She paused, then continued, "Princess, could you please tell my brother and father that I am well and they need not worry."

Feng Xuxu looked into her eyes for a long time before nodding.

It took a while for Feng Xuxu to sigh deeply, "When you wish to leave the palace someday, just tell that nursemaid outside. I will come to escort you home."

Xiu Yang, clutching Feng Xuxu’s hand, nodded vigorously, moved, "If I had met you earlier, perhaps today’s picture would not be like this."

"It’s not too late."

At those words, she shook her head, and gazing at Xiaoxi who was still unconscious beside her, she struggled to kneel and beg Feng Xuxu, "Princess Mei, I implore you, take her out of here. I would be forever grateful."

Feng Xuxu stopped her from rising, and after hearing her request, looked towards the person beside her and nodded, "Alright, rest assured, I will arrange everything for her." She glanced at Xiaoxi, reassuring Xiu Yang.

"Princess, Prince Zhu Lengqing is here," announced Zhu Lengqing, who had just entered the room, speaking softly and looking up with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Princess Mei, please go, and don’t tell my brother about this. I’m afraid he... can’t take it." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Alright, you need to... take good care of yourself." Saying this, Feng Xuxu reached into her wide sleeve, and with a thought, pulled out a small vial containing Spiritual Spring water from her space. Pretending to take it out from her sleeve, she handed it to Xiu Yang, "This is for saving lives. As long as there is a breath left in you, just drink this and you’ll be able to survive. Remember, you must hide it well. If anything happens, let the nursemaid outside pass a message to me."

Xiu Yang, choking back tears, didn’t know what to say. Holding the exquisite vial, her lips formed a straight line as she nodded fiercely, indicating she understood.

"You two, take Xiaoxi with you. Let’s go." Standing up, she instructed the two maidservants beside her, before taking one last look and leaving the room.

Stepping outside, she saw a nursemaid kneeling on the ground and spoke coldly, "Nursemaid, I won’t pursue today’s matters. In the future, if Noble Consort has any messages for me, I hope you can help with that. I will greatly reward you. But if you act against my wishes even in the slightest, I’m afraid not just me, but even my maidservants will not let you off. Do you understand?"

Nursemaid Luo wiped the sweat from her forehead and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Princess, I have it noted down. Don’t worry about Noble Consort, I will keep her in my thoughts often."

"Hmm, what if His Majesty asks?"

"This servant knows nothing and has said nothing."

"Hmm, come to the Prince Residence later to receive your reward."
