Chapter 1814: Chapter 579: Panlong Palace, First Encounter with Xiahou Xuan (3)

Several generals nearby also spoke up to request orders, but this matter was always best handled sooner rather than later. Cheng He directly waved off the others, took Xiahou Yong and Jiang Yiqing to prepare, then ordered someone to keep watch outside before leaping into the water and diving towards the lake bottom.

"Father once told me that the Panlong Palace was discovered only after he defeated Chi Yuan in the thirty-fifth year of Great Xia. Relying on the batch of gold in the palace, our Great Xia experienced a rapid development, the camp’s strength surged, and as a result, we quickly widened the gap with the Four Vassals along the Moao River. I have now led him to find this place twenty years earlier, thus Great Xia’s development trajectory will be completely altered..."

At the inn in Qinghe Town, a woman dressed in white sat by the window, holding a wine glass and watching the bustling street with a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Great Xia can rise early, and the first meeting between Father and Mother has been disrupted by me, changing the future entirely. Now all that’s left is to wait for an event node that can overturn destiny; Xia Yulong, this person, should cease to exist. I should take this last bit of time to properly see my fief..."

Xia Yulong’s face took on a tint of sorrow, but when she turned to see the bustling crowd on the street outside the inn, determination rose in her eyes.

"Without me, Father would not have given Wei Bo a chance to breathe; Wei Bo would not harbor illusions about Father; Mother would not be burdened with the reputation of a jealous woman, and as for Mother... ultimately, Wei Bo collapsed. To plant a heart demon within Father, she was able to publicly reveal my origins in front of all the Xia people and then took her own life, proving that she never loved Father. They only inadvertently came together to give birth to me, held no affection towards me, and never loved me as their biological daughter. Since that is the case, why should I bother coming into this world!

Being fortunate enough to live once as a Xia person and receiving such deep affection from Father and Mother, also honored with the title Princess Yufan Tianlong, it naturally follows to have the resolve to sacrifice everything for Great Xia. If I can reduce the flames of war in Great Xia at the cost of my own life, it would be well worth it..."

Xia Yulong, after pondering for a while, finally firmed her resolve. Her face revealed a look of determination as she stood up, intending to step onto the street and properly view what Great Xia was like more than a century ago.

Just as she stood up, she noticed a child, about seven or eight years old, standing at the stairway entrance, staring at her in a daze.

The clothes this child wore appeared quite shabby to her, but given this was over a hundred years ago in Great Xia and looking at the attire of other children on the street, she immediately realized this child must not come from a low status.

"Gazing at a princess without permission, according to future Xia Li regulations, is a crime punishable by death..."

Xia Yulong humorously mused to herself, then felt a mischievous whim rise in her heart, she began to slowly approach the child.

The child’s dazed expression immediately disappeared. Seeing Xia Yulong walking towards him, his breathing became rapid, evidently anxious.

"Little one, do you know me?"

Seeing Xia Yulong close up, the child’s breathing instantly stalled, his expression froze again for a few seconds, then quickly reacted, blushing and stammering:

"No, no... I don’t know you, I... I am... Xiahou Xuan!"

Xiahou Xuan!

Hearing these three words, Xia Yulong was instantly stunned.

She seemed to realize something, her body suddenly froze, looking down at Xiahou Xuan, her eyes slowly began to fill with tears.
