It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like only a moment had passed. When Xiao Yan heard the sound again, it was the neighing of a horse running wildly.

The linden trees in the forest were covered in white, the wind and rain were rustling, and a frightened mad horse carrying a person rushed towards them.

The girl on the horse was frightened and cried out "Brother". The voice, which was similar to the one in his dream, made Xiao Yan's expression change. He suddenly realized where he was and saw that the crazy horse was tripped by a broken log. The next moment, the person on the horse was thrown out.

The girl fell into a snowdrift and plummeted down the cliff.

"Tang Ning!"

Xiao Yan pounced on the fallen Tang Ning without hesitation. The hand holding the Buddhist beads grabbed Tang Ning who was rolling down. The Buddhist beads rubbed against Tang Ning's blood and their fluorescence became even brighter. However, Xiao Yan did not pay attention to it. He only found that he could touch Tang Ning but could not take him out.

He looked down at the bottomless cliff, quickly found a place where he could slow down his descent, and threw the girl, who was supposed to fall straight down, into a pile of weeds and rocks nearby.

Her calves were scratched by the rocks, and her cheeks and arms were scraped with long bloody marks. The girl who had just been knocked unconscious woke up from the pain.

Tang Ning grabbed the nearest rocks with all his strength, and his body slipped a little and hit the weeds. When he climbed up the crack of the rocks to steady himself, the red rope hanging around his neck fell outside his clothes.

The rocks rolled down. Xiao Yan looked at Tang Ning, who was on the verge of collapse and might faint at any moment. He saw her struggling hard to survive. While thinking about how to save her, he suddenly heard a voice coming from above his head.

"The sound just now seemed to be from this side. Hey, there's a horse here... Master, do you want to go take a look?"

"Seeing a dead person?"

"...Yes, if someone fell from such a high place, they would have died a long time ago..."

Xiao Yan suddenly looked up, Cang Lang? !

Tang Ning on the cliff seemed to have heard the voices from above. She grabbed the rocks in her hands and screamed desperately: "Is there anyone up there? Help! Help me!!"

There was a sudden silence above, and soon a head popped out.

"Oh, this guy is really lucky, he's still alive?"

…

After Xiao Yan knew about Tang Ning's existence, he ordered people to investigate. The day she fell off the cliff was the day he returned to Beijing from Mount Qi. However, he never knew that he was so close to Tang Ning, and he never thought that if he could look down one more time from the cliff, his little girl would not have to suffer so much.

He saw the little girl being brought to the top of the cliff by Canglang, saw her looking at the stranger in the carriage with horror in her eyes, saw "Xiao Yan" threatening the little girl with a vicious look, and then saw the dragon-patterned pendant slipping from her neck.

The wind was howling and the Buddhist beads on his wrist were hot. He looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and his body felt a little light-headed.

He knew that "Xiao Yan" would protect his treasures, but he was reluctant to leave.

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to grasp the Buddhist beads on his wrist and murmured, "I want to see her."

"Different worlds have different paths, and one cannot force it."

As the Buddhist chanting gradually rose in his ears, Xiao Yan's obsession grew stronger. He suddenly removed the Buddhist beads in his hand, and the chanting suddenly stopped. His eyes flashed, and when he looked up again, he found that he had changed places. Someone beside him said, "Your Majesty's Qi and blood are damaged, and your body is weak, but there is nothing else seriously wrong."

"Where's the heart lamp?"

"Master Xindeng is still unconscious."

Tang Ning waved his hand and asked the imperial physician to leave.

The night before yesterday, Xiao Yan suddenly left. When Tang Ning woke up and didn't see him, she realized that he had gone to look for the Heart Lamp. She remembered what she had said to Xiao Yan and hurried over, only to see two unconscious people in the quiet room.

She was startled by Xin Deng's old and withered appearance, and she was worried about Xiao Yan's coma.

The imperial physician from the palace rushed over but could not find out the cause. Tang Ning thought that if Xiao Yan did not wake up today, she would send someone to Shu to ask Madam Qin to come back, but she did not expect to meet Xiao Yan's gaze when she turned her head.
