Chapter 1138 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and sixty-one)
The cremation flame was about to be lit when Guo Youbai suddenly shouted to stop it.
Everyone was dressed in mourning, looking at her with sorrowful faces and confusion in their eyes.
"Princess, why is this happening? The auspicious time is approaching. If we miss the time, it might be bad for the princess' reincarnation." Someone couldn't help but speak.
Guo Youbai didn't care about everyone's surprise and suddenly carried Zhao Xuan down from the pile of firewood. Cold sweat was already breaking out on her back - she suddenly remembered the fake death medicine given by Song Qingli.
Back then, Song Qingli had personally handed the medicine to Zhao Xuan, saying it could simulate death by poisoning. He had also specifically instructed her to arrange for a response and not to let her actually die. If Zhao Xuan had taken the medicine to fake her own death, and now was being burned alive... that would be a catastrophic tragedy.
Guo Youbai slapped her forehead in frustration. She was so grief-stricken that she had forgotten about the incident. She looked up at everyone and said, "Quickly, find a doctor. The princess may not be dead."
The princess is not dead?
So their mission...didn't fail?
A light suddenly lit up in everyone's eyes, and they hurried to find a reliable doctor.
But the results were disheartening—three doctors took turns examining him, each shaking their head and sighing, "The body is completely cold, stiff and visibly stiff. There's no chance of recovery."
"But what if he took a drug that caused him to fake his death?" Guo Youbai asked.
The doctors were interested, but their faces were full of disbelief: "The formula of the fake death drug has long been lost. Even if there is a recipe, there are not many doctors in the world who can make it. I wonder who gave the medicine to the princess? Is the efficacy really reliable? If there is any mistake, the princess will really be beyond help." "You don't need to ask more questions." Guo Youbai said in a firm tone.
Although the three doctors all declared Zhao Xuan dead, Guo Youbai, considering Song Qingli's character and ability, gritted his teeth and said, "Wait two more days."
Although everyone felt it was absurd, they all held onto a glimmer of hope and didn't mention cremation immediately. Besides, they had already planned to assassinate Meng Dan, and this required careful planning. If they failed, there would be no chance again. Postponing the cremation wouldn't hinder their subsequent actions.
On the third day after Zhao Xuan's "death", everyone discovered that not only was there no corpse spots on her body, there was not even a trace of fishy odor. Their hearts gradually wavered: Princess Yongning might really still be alive.
Inside the house, when Zhao Xuan opened her eyes, Guo Youbai was standing by her side.
"Xuanmei, you really are alive! Qingli didn't lie to you!"
Zhao Xuan slowly sat up. There was only one person in the room in front of her: Sister Guo! Master!
Seeing an acquaintance she hadn't seen for several years, what was there to not understand? The master must have come to save her!
She was reborn, and without caring about her manners, she just laughed out loud:
"I won the bet! God is protecting me, Zhao Xuan, after all! If someone stabs me, if wolves eat me, or if you bury me, I will never wake up again."
Guo Youbai felt a little embarrassed. If she hadn't reacted, Zhao Xuan would have almost... turned into ashes...
After a long separation, Guo Youbai saw that although Zhao Xuan looked haggard, she had gained a bit of resilience. He felt a lump in his throat and couldn't help but hold her in his arms. "It's all over. I'll arrange for someone to take you back to Dazhao."
"how about you?"
Guo Youbai sneered, "Of course, I'll kill that bastard Khan. He's dispatching troops to the border to attack Dazhao. If I kill him, I'll throw the Mongols into chaos. Your Majesty finally agreed to send me here. Even if it means death, I'll complete the mission and show the world that women can also make a name for themselves." Zhao Xuan shook her head, "I'm not leaving. I've endured his humiliation for years. I've endured enough of him and that woman's humiliation. I even lost my child. How can I just let it go like this?"
"This is too dangerous." Guo Youbai frowned.
"If I go back like this, I will never forgive myself!" Zhao Xuan's eyes were surprisingly bright. "I have pretended to be a coward over the years and learned a lot about the Mongolian country."
Zhao Xuan used to be a gentle rabbit, but now she has turned into a carnivorous plant. If she is not ruthless, she will not be able to stand firm. She is sharpening her knife to attack the Mongols.
She had to do something practical and make some achievements. Otherwise, even if she returned to Dazhao in the second half of her life, she would just be an ordinary princess. It was better to give it a try. Even if she died in Mongolia, she would accept it.
Every day she lives longer is a blessing to her.
