"Mother Concubine, we didn't bring a single coin with us, no spare clothes, no servants followed us, and there's no carriage either. How are we going to survive?"
"Mother Concubine, I'm hungry."
"Zhen Niang, soothe Jingjing!"
"Mother Concubine, little sister has been unconscious all along, what should we do?"
"Father, it's getting dark, we should find a place to stay."
"Father…"
Who is blasting the TV so loudly in the middle of the night? So noisy…
"Could you please lower the volume?" Li Yuzhu covered her ears, trying her best not to listen to those sounds.
She was a doctor, working overtime until eleven at night before coming home. At this moment, she just wanted to have a good sleep because she had an important surgery in the morning!
"Yuzhu is talking nonsense again, Mother Concubine, Father, what should we do?" A young voice anxiously said, even gently nudging her shoulder.
Who?
How could there be someone in her room? She clearly lived in a single apartment…
Li Yuzhu was jolted fully awake, suddenly opening her eyes.
What's going on?
When she fell asleep, it was close to midnight, she just dozed off for a moment, how did it turn to daylight?
Moreover, why was she sleeping on grass in the wilderness?
And who are these people in ancient costumes, men and women, old and young?
"Third sister, finally you're awake, does your head still hurt?" The boy who spoke earlier was looking at her with a slight smile.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, looking quite handsome, even more so than those trainees.
But…
Why was he dressed like a beggar?
His hair was messy, and his off-white long gown hadn't been washed for at least half a month. The collar was smeared with dirt, with yellow and black patches on his clothing.
Li Yuzhu struggled to sit up, looking around blankly.
"There's no way even if your head hurts, where can we find a doctor now? This is a desolate wild area…" A middle-aged woman sitting on a stone in the front sighed while massaging her legs, "There's no money either…"
On the ground beside her sat two young girls, one about fifteen or sixteen, the other about thirteen or fourteen.
The older one tall and thin, the younger one plump and round.
Worry was written in both their eyes.
Additionally, standing nearby was a short, stout middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, talking with a young man who looked about eighteen or nineteen.
A young man in his twenties and a young woman of the same age were sitting side by side on a fallen tree trunk.
The young woman was holding a half-year-old baby girl in her arms, and standing next to her was a little boy of over two years.
The boy had tears all over his face, it's unclear what he had been crying about earlier.
All these people were as disheveled and dirty as the young boy.
This is…
Suddenly, Li Yuzhu's head buzzed, memories surged like a tide in her mind.
The sound she heard just now wasn't neighbors watching a costume drama on TV, but these people talking!
She had time-traveled!
Single and older female doctor Li Yuzhu, fell asleep and found herself in ancient times, becoming the Little Princess Li Yuzhu of the Lu Ling Royal Mansion in the Song Country.
Same name, only much younger in age.
This Princess Li Yuzhu was only twelve years old this year.
A very distinguished identity, a member of the Royal Family, related to the Emperor for five generations!
She was born with ten maids to serve her, with servants tending to her every need.
For some unknown reason, the Little Emperor suddenly took a disliking to the whole family.
He not only confiscated all of their properties but also exiled all eleven of them to this impoverished mountainous area for hard labor.
No house, no money, and unfamiliar with the place.
This was really a frustrating and wretched life!
Li Yuzhu was truly having a headache.
...
(By the way: Xue Family was a marriage bestowed by the late Emperor)
