The rain lasted for a long time before it finally stopped. As soon as the rain curtain fell over this area, it stirred up a layer of mist and fog on the ground. Light smoke floated in the distant forest, creating a hazy beauty that made the ground and the vast sky blend into one color.

Yu Qianqian slowly walked out of the bamboo pavilion, descended the cloud ladder step by step, and then walked along the path by the lonely cliff until she stopped at the end.

Standing upright at the very top of the cliff, gazing at the majestic city, she stood like a god on the vast land. The magnificent landscape before her was clearly visible. At this moment, everything in her sight was colorless and lightless, but suddenly her mind was shaken, and her clear and bright pupils shone with a faint light.

As she watched the floating clouds rise to the horizon and the sky gradually darken, her eyes seemed to darken as well. She lowered her head and turned her gaze to the side, then walked straight over without thinking.

She thought for a moment, her gaze fixed on the open space in front of her, and slowly bent down. With her bare hands, she dug deep into the muddy ground. Before long, her hands were covered in mud and her clothes were soaked. At this moment, a square cenotaph was dug.

With a gentle touch to the nameless tombstone, Yu Qianqian closed her eyes in deep sorrow and slowly said, "My child, please forgive me for being such an unworthy mother. I carried you, yet I never brought you into this world to see it. People say that the glory of the royal family far surpasses the brilliance of the sun and the moon, but only those deeply immersed in it know that while the royal family possesses unparalleled glory, there are also too many things beyond their control. My child, I hope that in your next life you will not enter the royal family, nor become an official, but only be a humble gentleman from a scholarly family, reading poetry and books every day, rising with the sun and resting with the sunset, living a peaceful life from then on."

Just as she finished speaking, a white shadow seemed to silently pass by the swirling clouds, while Yu Qianqian was in a daze and completely unaware of her surroundings.

After the memorial service for the child, she returned directly to the bamboo pavilion. Thereafter, she spent three days peacefully in this place, each day passing by calmly. Apart from eating and sleeping on time, she would occasionally wander around the neighborhood. Such solitude was quite carefree.

She even felt as if everything that had happened in the past was a dream, and the only unusual and strange thing was that every time she woke up, there would be a bunch of peach blossoms inexplicably in her room.

After much deliberation, Yu Qianqian decided to play along and decided not to sleep tonight. She would wait quietly for that person to appear, determined to stay up until dawn, even if it meant enduring the long wait until he came out.

Even as the night drew to a close, the room remained quiet, except for the rustling of the wind outside.

However, she wouldn't give up until she found her target. She stared wide-eyed at the window with her back to it, but her body remained completely still.

And so she lay on her side in bed and waited and waited. Finally, just as the night was about to end and dawn was breaking, there was a slight sound of the door being pushed open outside. The light footsteps swept along the walls and windows, and if you didn't listen carefully, you would think it was just a gentle breeze.

Then, taking advantage of the moment when the unknown object left, Yu Qianqian suddenly sprang from the bed, her figure flashing, and dashed off in a single stride, chasing after the elusive trail!

Two figures were running swiftly under the moonlight, only a few dozen meters apart. They then entered the forest, where the shadowy trees obscured the view of the person behind. The white figure suddenly leaped into the depths of the forest, about to disappear at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive.

Yu Qianqian, however, continued to relentlessly pursue him, using every trick in the book to catch up with him. In the blink of an eye, she suddenly leaped away at lightning speed, her target now within arm's reach!
