Hot Search Alert! The Princess Goes Viral Worldwide-Chapter 130

Yin Xiangyuan flushed red, knowing Gu Nanyan was teasing her for being impatient and hot-tempered.

She had indeed been too hasty earlier—she shouldn’t have questioned her like that.

“I’m sorry,” Yin Xiangyuan lowered her head in apology.

“It’s fine. Have some pomelo—it really helps cool the temper.” Gu Nanyan didn’t mind; she was always lenient with younger generations.

Yin Xiangyuan was a descendant of the little crybaby, so naturally, she was also her junior.

Yin Xiangyuan pinched the pomelo and took small bites.

Whether it was psychological or the fruit truly had a calming effect, by the time she finished a segment, she had completely cooled down.

She had been in the wrong earlier—she shouldn’t have questioned her so impatiently.

“Not anymore.” Gu Nanyan blinked at her. “This is a socialist society now, isn’t it? Princesses and emperors are relics of feudalism—outdated.”

Yin Xiangyuan froze.

She caught the implication in Gu Nanyan’s words—"not anymore" meant she once had been!

Her heart pounded uncontrollably as she abruptly stood up. “You are the Grand Princess! freewebnøvel.com

Tell me—on what date in the third year of Great Qi’s Xuanzong era did you meet Yin Jingjie?

When our ancestor Yin Jingjie cried from hunger, what food did you give him?

…”

Yin Xiangyuan fired off several questions, but Gu Nanyan answered none. She only replied mildly, “I’m not the Grand Princess. I don’t know the answers to your questions.”

Yin Xiangyuan nearly stomped her foot in frustration. What was wrong with this woman? Why wouldn’t she answer? Did she not know, or was she pretending?

“Why won’t you answer? Do you know? Our ancestor searched for you his entire life—even in his final moments, he was still thinking of finding you. He made his descendants swear to keep looking.”

Hearing this, Gu Nanyan sighed softly. “What a fool.”

She hadn’t planned to reveal her identity, but seeing the Yin family bound by this promise for generations, her heart softened. “Did the little crybaby leave no other questions?”

Yin Xiangyuan shook her head.

Gu Nanyan spread her hands, feigning innocence. “Then there’s no way to verify. I truly don’t remember the answers to your questions.”

At the words "don’t remember," Yin Xiangyuan’s eyes reddened, her heart struck like a gong.

Unable to hold back, she trembled as she spoke: “Th-that’s the right answer.”

The answer was that she didn’t remember!

Those encounters, those kindnesses… they had only mattered to Yin Jingjie.

Back then, he was just an insignificant beggar. How could the Grand Princess, busy with affairs of state, have remembered?

She had helped countless beggars, encountered countless gifted children—her heart belonged to the people.

She was the sun, shining on all things, nurturing all life.

Yin Jingjie never sought her favor—he only wished to follow her.

The Grand Princess dreamed of a world without war, a prosperous era without hunger, a people without suffering.

Yin Jingjie lacked such grand power, but he did what he could—healing as many as possible.

Tears streaked Yin Xiangyuan’s face, her nose and eyes red, her cheeks wet.

Gu Nanyan handed her a tissue. “What did the little crybaby want from me? To confirm I was alive? I’ve lived well—tell him not to worry.”

Yin Xiangyuan looked up with red-rimmed eyes. “Ancestor wanted me to tell you—”

“What?” Gu Nanyan listened intently.

Yin Xiangyuan spoke word by word: “Ancestor said he became a great physician. He saved countless lives, wrote medical texts and life-saving prescriptions, passed them to future generations. He didn’t fail your expectations.”

“Good.” Gu Nanyan nodded. “I see. He did better than I ever imagined.”

Hearing this millennia-late praise, Yin Xiangyuan choked up.

If only her ancestor could have heard this in person—he had waited so long.

But at last, the wait was over.

Yin Xiangyuan wiped her tears. Before, she hadn’t understood why Gu Nanyan livestreamed the Heaven-Connecting Health Exercises.

Now, she finally understood.

Because she was the Grand Princess—the selfless, benevolent Grand Princess who cared for her people!

In that moment, Yin Xiangyuan grasped her ancestor’s devotion.

Who wouldn’t want to follow such a Grand Princess?

Sniffling, she suddenly wanted to sit at Gu Nanyan’s feet and boast of how many patients she’d saved, how skilled she was.

Like a child, tilting her head up, begging for praise.

But her face was a mess—swollen eyes, red nose. She couldn’t bear to face Gu Nanyan like this, so she washed up in the bathroom before returning.

She knelt obediently beside Gu Nanyan, looking up. “Grand Princess, will you come back to the Yin family? We’ve searched for you so long. If they knew you were alive, they’d be overjoyed.”

“I’m not the Grand Princess anymore,” Gu Nanyan said mildly.

Yin Xiangyuan blinked, confused.

What did she mean? Was she refusing to return?

Panicked, Yin Xiangyuan pressed, “Grand Princess, are you abandoning the Yin family?”

Gu Nanyan shook her head. “Not abandoning. You don’t belong to me—you belong to yourselves. If you wish to live in seclusion, do so. If you see me as a burden, a chain around your necks, cast me off. Be who you want to be.

You are free.”

Yin Xiangyuan was at a loss.

Gu Nanyan patted her head. “Child, from you onward, the Yin family has no ancestral oath. You needn’t search for me, nor do anything for me.

All I ever wanted was my people’s happiness and freedom.

If my existence bound you, it would betray my very wish.”

Yin Xiangyuan’s heart trembled.

Though the Yin family had sought the Grand Princess for generations, they hadn’t truly understood her.

If they had, they wouldn’t have shackled themselves for so long.

No wonder—no wonder the Grand Princess earned such devotion, why her ancestor followed her all his life.

She deserved it.

Yin Xiangyuan stood and nodded. “I understand.”

She turned to leave, but Gu Nanyan called her back.

Puzzled, Yin Xiangyuan looked at her.

Gu Nanyan smiled. “Silly girl, I was the one who summoned you. Aren’t you curious why?”

Yin Xiangyuan blurted, “Wasn’t it to confirm your identity?”

Then she realized her mistake.

No—Gu Nanyan hadn’t planned to admit she was the Grand Princess.

So why had she called her here?

Curious, she waited.

“Here.” Gu Nanyan handed her several sheets of paper.

Yin Xiangyuan scanned them—lost medical prescriptions.

Great Qi had fallen over a thousand years ago, and many imperial remedies had vanished. Historians and pharmacologists had tried to reconstruct them, to no avail.

Yet here they were.

Stunned, Yin Xiangyuan gaped at Gu Nanyan. “Wh-what is this?”

“A gift for you.”

Gu Nanyan’s tone was light.

When meeting a junior, of course she had to bring a present.
