"No, it is Ziyan who should thank Your Highness. Your Highness's music has taken Yan'er into a wonderful world, where Ziyan's heart has been calmed down. It is Ziyan who should thank Your Highness."
Nangong Ziyan slowly walked towards Baili Jun'ao.
Baili Jun'ao looked at her and suddenly thought of the night he broke into her room injured. Her eyes at this moment were just like those night. He knew in his heart that many people were not as happy as they seemed on the outside. Every night, when all was quiet, that was when their true selves were revealed.
"That is truly my honor, Yan'er, please have a seat."
"Is Your Highness also unable to sleep, which is why you came to this bamboo grove to play the zither?"
Nangong Ziyan did not refuse and sat down opposite Baili Jun'ao. She wanted to find someone to chat with.
"Sometimes when I'm feeling tired, depressed, or confused, I play a piece of music for myself. This helps me to change my environment, breathe, and think differently."
Actually, he was waiting for her here with a glimmer of hope, but he never expected that she would actually appear.
"It is truly remarkable that Your Highness has found such a method of healing. Time is always an observer; we must bear all the processes and outcomes ourselves. In truth, none of us are as strong as we imagine; we simply cannot find a place for our weakness to rest."
After Nangong Ziyan finished speaking calmly, she picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and felt an indescribable pain that was hard to calm down. Some wounds cannot be healed by time.
"Yan'er's words really touched my heart. The loneliest and most helpless time is when you are surrounded by a crowd of people and no one can understand you."
"Only when the mind is calm can one hear its own voice; only when the mind is clear can one see the true nature of all things. Your Highness can calmly observe the changing world, quietly appreciate the blooming flowers, and remain undisturbed. It must be said that Your Highness's understanding of survival has reached its pinnacle."
Nangong Ziyan knew that one day he would definitely be able to sit on the dragon throne of the Qihe Dynasty, because his magnanimity would make him the eternal success he had achieved.
"Yan'er flatters me. As Yan'er said, only by having some understanding of life can one avoid making things difficult for oneself. How to survive depends on your attitude towards life."
No matter what Baili Jun'ao said, he would never mention anything about Bei Ming Haotian. He knew in his heart that what she needed was not comfort or sympathy, but someone to talk to... The two chatted like this, taking turns to talk, and they had common topics about their views on life...
Bei Ming Haotian, distraught, burst open the door to Tian Nanxing's room.
Inside, Nangong Yuze, Sima Jiaorong, Nangong Ruichen, Tian Haoze, and Tian Nanxing were discussing Bei Ming Haotian's matter.
Hua Nongying went out to look for Nangong Jingqi.
Upon seeing Bei Ming Haotian's sudden intrusion, the entire Nangong family glared at him angrily.
"Haotian, why aren't you with your Chan'er? What are you doing here?"
When Tian Haoze saw Bei Minghaotian, his mood worsened. Yan'er's pained expression was still vivid in his mind. After dinner, he had intended to take him to explain things to Yan'er, but Bei Minghaotian was determined to go find Baili Yuechan.
"I just overheard their conversation. They've cast a love spell on me."
Bei Ming Haotian didn't explain, and simply said...
"Mandarin Duck Gu?"
Tian Nanxing suddenly jumped up from the chair, looking at Bei Minghaotian in surprise.
"No wonder you can't recognize Yan'er anymore. This Mandarin Duck Gu is a love Gu that lasts until death. As long as the person who casts the Gu activates the female Gu, the person who is afflicted by the male Gu will be bewitched. However, the person who cast the Gu must be Baili Yuechan. Tian'er, you are now devoted to Baili Yuechan, so the female Gu must be inside Baili Yuechan's body."
"That damned Baili Yuechan, I knew it was her doing. But there should be a good show tonight, because there's a traitor in the Netherworld Palace."
Tian Haoze narrowed his eyes. "Luan Ying, I refuse to believe I can't find something on you."
"Traitor?" Bei Ming Haotian's narrowed eyes exuded a dangerous aura; he would not allow any traitors to appear in the Netherworld Palace.
"Haotian, even if you're under the influence of the curse, you can't forget Yan'er so quickly!"
Sima Jiaorong found it hard to believe; how could one forget someone in an instant?
"Jiaorong, you've misunderstood. This Mandarin Duck Gu is very powerful. Once someone is afflicted by it, they will immediately forget the person they love and fall in love with the person who cast the Gu. Tian'er has a strong will. He has only forgotten about Yan'er, but he won't forget anything else. If someone had a weaker will, they would have already become attached to the woman who cast the Gu."
Tian Nanxing shook his head helplessly, wondering what would happen after tomorrow.
"Venerable Nanxing, is there any way to kill the Mandarin Duck Gu in Haotian's body?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ruichen felt much relieved.
"There's no way. Unless the person who cast the Gu is killed, Haotian can still have his own thoughts today, but after tonight, it's uncertain. As long as the person who cast the Gu activates the female Gu and has a strong longing for the other person, tomorrow Haotian's heart will be completely on the person who cast the Gu, and he will forget the person he loved before."
"If we do that, it would be too cruel to Yan'er."
Nangong Yuze couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Godfather, now that we know Haotian is afflicted with the Gu poison, you must quickly find a way to help him!"
Tian Haoze said hurriedly.
"What can be done? Even killing Baili Yuechan wouldn't help. As long as the female Gu is alive, the male Gu won't survive a single day..."
