Rain falls on banana leaves, and the sound of carriages and horses echoes.

The young man lay lazily on the beauty bed, his upturned eyes filled with an alluring peach color.

Just like the fragrant flowers falling to the ground outside the window.

Jixue is located in a relatively cold place, where no flowers or trees grow. But since some time ago, the capital city has been filled with peach blossoms, showing a thriving vitality.

The young man had his hair tied in a high ponytail with a red silk headband, and his eyebrows and eyes were elegant and charming.

He had the look of an emperor who was heartless.

"Princess Ning Zhao has arrived—"

The young man immediately jumped up from the couch, put on his coat and kicked the eunuch beside him, scolding, "My sister is returning to the palace, and you, a dog slave, didn't even know to inform her in advance--"

The young eunuch knelt on the polished floor, his thin body trembling.

Going up the jade steps is the majestic imperial city.

In the imperial city, there is her Aque.

After Pan Shu came out of the previous world, she did not directly enter the next mission world.

The system told her:

"Host, your scumbag assessment mission has come to an end. You can enter the world you once scumbaged and rewrite the ending."

Pan Shu didn't want to rewrite the ending.

Those were her choices.

She never regrets it.

It's just that there are some old friends she wants to see.

So, she came back, back to her former mission world.

However, the mission world has undergone subtle changes compared to when she was there. For example, peach blossoms are everywhere in the capital, the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain has been moved next to the princess's mansion, and... her Aque is still a carefree young emperor.

"Sister, sister, why did you suddenly come to the palace?"

The young man stepped forward and hugged Panshu tightly, his voice mixed with surprise and a bit of melancholy, "Sister, you don't know... I had a nightmare just now when I was lying on the couch. In the dream, my sister died in my arms. I held her body and kept shouting, shouting, but she wouldn't wake up..."

Pan Shu curled her red lips and gently wiped the cold sweat from the boy's forehead with a plain white handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms. "You said it was a nightmare, so why are you afraid of it?"

“…But I always feel it’s very real.”

Pan Shu turned around in front of the young man, her elaborate and gorgeous palace dress looking like a bright crabapple blossom. "I'm standing here perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Chen Que finally became happy again.

He took Banshu's hand and pulled her to the table. The candlelight flickered, and the dim light reflected the jade hairpin on the table. "Sister, do you think this hairpin is beautiful?"

The hairpin is made of smooth jade, and it glows faintly under the candlelight. It is obvious that it is made of extremely high-quality jade.

This is……

She smiled and nodded, "Aque's hands are really skillful."

"I always feel that if I don't do it for my sister now, it will be too late..." The boy's mood became depressed again, and his dark eyes flashed with some inexplicable sinister light. "My sister won't leave Aque, right?"

"Um."

"But Ah Que has to be obedient."

"A Que naturally listens to Sister the most."

It started to rain outside the window again, hitting the peach blossoms, making "patter" and "patter" sounds.

Panshu was a little dazed.

She subconsciously pressed her wrist, and the peach blossom mark that Shang Dai had planted on her before her death was still there.

Perhaps he was really haunted by a "nightmare". Chen Que pestered Pan Shu all day long and even wanted to give up the process of attending court. It was only when those old ministers complained with tears and snot that "rituals cannot be abolished" that Chen Que gave up.

Panshu came back to this world for Chen Que.

She never had any special feelings towards her targets.

But when she heard the three words "Lin Gunian" again, Pan Shu's heart still trembled slightly.

The young man in front of him was dressed in official uniform, tall and graceful, as gentle as a handsome young man in troubled times. He was standing in a peach blossom forest. At that moment, a peach petal fell into his palm. The young man smiled at Ban Shu:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Pan Shu was stunned.

Complex and dark emotions surged in Lin Gunian's eyes.

Nostalgia and deep love finally turn into heartbreaking pain.

"I'm sorry for hurting you so deeply. Now... I don't know what happened, but I'm glad you're back."

The curve of Panshu's lips remained unchanged.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise: "I don't understand what Prime Minister Lin is saying."

This palace.

Prime Minister Lin.

The two titles that are full of unfamiliarity already explain a lot of problems.

Ning Zhao once loved him deeply.

But that love was worn away by him bit by bit.

Now, Lin Gunian looked at this bright and lively girl with longing, and suddenly felt fortunate—

Fate has never been harsh on him.

At least, let him see her again after his death.

"Sister!"

As soon as the young emperor came out of court, he hurried to look for his elder sister. Unexpectedly, when he saw Lin Gunian, he stopped in his tracks and glared at him warily, "Why are you running to the peach blossom forest for no reason? Are you dressing so provocatively to seduce my elder sister?"

Lin Gunian was wearing the official uniform of a crane robe.

He's dressed the same as those old guys.

Flirtatious?

Lin Gunian: “…”

"Your Majesty." He was still very well-mannered.

The lively young man before him slowly began to resemble the young man in his previous life who had cried in vain while holding Ban Shu's corpse. He sighed, "I'm sorry."

I don’t have time to say this apology to the dead Chen Que, so I’ll say it to the present Chen Que.

Lin Gunian consciously decided not to disturb Chen Que and Ban Shu's time alone. Just before leaving, he suddenly said meaningfully, "Chu Sui and Chu Yun are looking for you. Oh, and Shang Dai too."

“…”
