away from the heart

Chapter 3
"Princess! Princess!"

Is it Tao Yao's voice?Chuyue suddenly opened her eyes, and Tao Yao was standing in front of herself with a book and a teapot in her hand.She hastily stretched out her hand to touch her chest, but there was no injury, and she was still alone; she touched her forehead again, and her forehead was dripping with cold sweat.It's okay, it's just a dream.

Wait, dreaming?
Chuyue stood up suddenly, picked up the scissors on the table, cut off the bound hair with a click, and said in a low voice: "There are assassins coming, we have to run for our lives first!"

Tao Yao was puzzled: "Assassin? What is the princess talking about in her sleep?"

"It's just a dream! I was dreaming just now. You know that as long as I fall asleep and dream during the taboo hour, the dream will come true!"

"But..." Tao Yao hesitated and refused to leave, "Did we escape in your dream? If we escape now, does it count as changing the dream? The national teacher said, if you change your dream against the sky, you will be bitten by the birthstone of……"

Chuyue tugged at Taoyao: "Now I don't care if it retaliates or not, the person who died in this dream is myself!"

Tao Yao was finally willing to move after hearing this: "Where shall we escape first?"

"According to the time in the dream, at this time, I'm afraid the assassins have already ambushed near the Canary Palace, and they are about to come. I guess they have cleaned up the surrounding area, and I'm afraid it's going to be ineffective." Chuyue hurriedly said. Thinking carefully, "Well, let's run away separately. You go east to Fengluan Palace, and I run west to Wangxi Pavilion. Don't be afraid, the assassins in the dream are all coming for me. If you are discovered, They must have come to chase me. There are many guards patrolling in the east, if you see someone, let them come to rescue me immediately."

"Then... that princess, you must be careful."

Chuyue shook Tao Yao's hand: "Don't worry. I'll go out first, if you don't hear anything, just go out after me." After speaking, she turned around and went out lightly.

Tao Yao watched her back disappear into the night, and sniffled.What kind of evil is this, the princess is really suffering.

The princess wasn't originally a princess.The princess is not the daughter of the emperor, but the blood of the deceased great master.When the Great Master was alive, he had quite magical powers and was extremely relied on by the emperor.Later, the great master passed away, leaving only a young daughter.The emperor thought of the great master who had devoted himself to the country, so he adopted her as a righteous daughter, named her a princess, and took her into the palace to raise her.

But after all, he was not his own flesh and blood, and the emperor treated the princess well, so he bestowed a servant girl, and let the princess grow up in this remote Canary Palace.The women in the palace, especially Concubine Su Gui, have been making things difficult for the princess ever since she entered the palace.Fortunately, Concubine Jing was kind before, and seeing the princess was lonely, protecting her like her own daughter was better than treating her own son, Prince Shun.Later, Concubine Jing also left, and the princess and Prince Shun depended on each other for life, and at least they grew up without any danger.

The princess had a strange problem since she was a child, she didn't sleep at night.The current national teacher, that is, the apprentice of the former great national teacher, said that it was because the princess entered the Zhaixing Pavilion by mistake when she was a child, and there was something called the birthstone in her body.With this thing, as long as the princess sleeps at night, she will dream about the disaster that will happen.The princess is kind-hearted, she never sees other people suffering, and she must do something to make this disaster disappear.Naturally, it is impossible to change one's fate against the sky.Once the princess changes her dream, she will be backlashed by the birthstone and become... into something strange, so she simply doesn't sleep at night, relying on the daylight to catch up on sleep after the sun comes out.

The national teacher said that the birthstone was a rare treasure, but according to Taoyao, it was nothing more than a treasure.Although the princess is good-looking, her nose is sharper than ordinary people, and there is nothing special about it. On the contrary, she still has such a big problem that she has to live a life of day and night upside down.Also because he doesn't sleep at night and often wanders outside, it has been rumored that he is possessed by dirty things.
