226 Ch. 226 'Let It Go'

Xiao Yue was even more confused when her mother moved towards her to hug her tightly. She also noticed the crown prince Yang Shuo was in her room.

When her eyes met the mesmerizing golden eyes, Niken suddenly stopped thinking about the black-haired man.

Even though she no longer thought about the man, it didn't mean that her heart had completely forgotten about the mysterious man. And as she looked at Yang Shuo with a probing gaze, for the first time, she did not feel an unfamiliar pleasant trembling in her chest.

She felt he no longer had any interest in this golden-eyed man. She no longer felt a magnet pulling her towards this man.

Xiao Yue decided to glance at her father and brother, who were standing on the other side of her bed. At this time, her mother held her tightly while sobbing as if the grim reaper almost took her soul.

She would not be able to ask her mother other than to pat her back with both hands gently. Xiao Yue decided to ask her father.

"What happened? Why are you all here?"

Xiao Yue's pair of eyes were on her brother, and all eyes were on her so that no one could tell that the radiance of Yang Shuo's golden eyes became darker and turned crimson red like blood.

"Yue'er, are you okay? How are you feeling now?"

Xiao Yue tilted her head in confusion when she heard the question from her brother.

"I am fine. What happened to me?"

"What happened to you? You're still asking what happened to you?!"

Xiao Yue gasped when she heard her brother's high tone. Xiao Yang may have annoyed her a lot, but her brother never once raised his voice towards her.

"Yue'er, do you know what time it is?" came the soft voice from the previous king.

Xiao Yue looked at the window leading to her room's balcony and just realized that the sun had risen high, causing her eyes widened wide.

"It's past lunchtime? I just woke up now?"

Xiao Yang pressed his forehead in frustration seeing his little sister not even aware that she was sick.

Wait a minute… then what about his sister's temperature?

Everyone was shocked by the king's action, who immediately climbed onto Xiao Yue's bed and cupped the girl's face with his big hands.

"Brother?"

Xiao Yang sighed in relief when he felt his sister's skin temperature was no longer hot.

It's weird. A while ago,  his sister's body temperature was still boiling, but now it has become normal in an instant?

"What happened to my sister?" without answering his younger sibling's curiosity, the king asked the healer directly.

"There is something internal battle going on in the princess's body, my lord. This battle will still happen if the princess doesn't end it."

"Internal battle? What battle? "

"There is a foreign object that entered the princess's astral without her knowing. My lady needs to remove the foreign object, and she will be fine. "

"Foreign object? What kind of foreign object?" Xiao Yue couldn't hold back her curiosity anymore, and this time she was the one asking directly.

"It could be foreign energy or spirit. Whatever it is,  it tries to control the princess's mind,  and if it is left untouched, princess Xiao Yue will no longer be Princess Xiao Yue."

"What do you mean by that?" demanded the previous king with full of authority vibe.

"This something is trying to influence the princess's personality and spirit so that the princess will be another person. I'm sure the past few days, princess Xiao Yue has started to show a difference. She would often daydream and sometimes act out of her usual. That something must be removed immediately before the princess becomes a completely different person."

"Can you get rid of it?"

The healer shook his head sadly while answering Xiao Yang's question. "Sorry, but the princess is currently trying to defend it. Only the princess herself can throw it away."

Xiao Yue's forehead frowned at this. What does he mean? She was sure she did not defend anything, not to mention the unknown essence that penetrates her astral soul. Why in the world did she keep it?

She didn't want anyone to control her nor manipulate her brain. Xiao Yue will feel happily throwing away the foreign object. She didn't understand why the healer assumed she maintained a foreign object that damaged her character's nature?

"Yue'er, why are you keeping it? You better let go and let that something removed."

"But, I don't know what 'something' looks like. Besides, I didn't know that I was defending it. What happens if I keep it up without my knowledge?"

"There is a possibility that your body will become burning again when you go back to sleep. If your body temperature is too hot, I'm afraid you won't be able to wake up the next day."

"How can I take it off? I don't even know the shape of the foreign object that got into me."

"You just don't have to fight back, my lady."

You don't need to retain your memories that we buried—corrected Yang Shuo inwardly.

"When the foreign object is about to leave and disappear, you don't have to look for it and defend it."

Xiao Yue still didn't understand what the healer was talking about.

"Is it possible this is all because of the dream you saw?"

Xiao Yue gasped when she heard her brother's guess and realized something.

Could it be that the foreign object that was endangering her life was a mysterious dream she had yesterday?

If what the healer said was true, did that mean she didn't need to recall the dream when she almost forgot it?

But, she still didn't want to forget that mysterious man. She didn't want to die and make her family members sad either.

What should I do? Xiao Yue questioned herself in desperate.
