After entering the mansion, the third prince poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then listened to Zi Yang.
"Last night, I heard Your Highness say…"
"What's wrong with me?" Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, the third prince asked.
"Then I have said that Your Highness cannot punish me for this."
Seeing the Third Prince nod, Zi Yang then said, "Your Highness, it seems you called the princess's name last night, and said you didn't want it, and then you seemed to cry."
Zi Yang spoke more and more quietly. He could already feel the Third Prince's eyes like ice knives flying towards him.
But he was telling the truth, and his hearing was so sharp that he was sure he couldn't have heard it wrong.
I don’t know what kind of dream His Highness had, he actually cried.
Could it be that he was crying because he failed to express his feelings to the princess?
It doesn't seem impossible.
"The door is there," the third prince rubbed his eyebrows and raised his hand to point in the direction of the door.
Ziyang nodded tactfully, "I'll get out of here right now."
He considerately closed the door as he walked out.
The third prince was the only one left in the room. He stood up and walked to the window, thinking about the dreams he had had in the past two days.
He did dream of Mu Xue and the time-traveling girl that Luo'er mentioned.
What’s different from now is that in the dream he is the emperor instead of a prince, and the time-traveling girl is his concubine, and so is Mu Xue.
In the dream, he was like a bystander, watching everything Mu Xue did for him, since the first time they met as children.
Then there was the scene where she prayed for amulets for herself every year, and Luo'er also said that she prayed for amulets for herself and therefore she didn't even see her mother for the last time.
He stood beside little Mu Xue and watched her faint from crying because she was too sad.
Then the scene changed to when little Muxue became blind and was sent to the Valley of Divine Doctors. He still stayed by her side, watching her eyesight getting worse as she cried every day.
When the Third Prince thought of this, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if a pair of invisible hands were pulling at his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He squatted on the ground, holding his chest, and continued to recall everything in his dream in a self-deprecating manner.
Little Muxue's eyes gradually recovered under the treatment of the master of the Divine Doctor Valley.
Although her eyes were healed, she lost the right to be sad.
Before, she didn’t understand why Mu Xue’s personality was so different from when she was a child. It was only through these two nights of dreams that she realized that it was because her sad crying would affect her eyes that had originally recovered.
"Your Highness," Zi Yang knocked on the door and came in. He saw the third prince squatting on the ground with a heartbroken look. He was so scared that he hurried forward.
"What's wrong with you?"
The Third Prince withdrew his thoughts and stood up. "I'm fine, what's wrong?"
"I just want to ask you if you want to go to the Qin family to join in the fun."
The princess has such a good relationship with Miss Qin, so she will definitely go, and then your highness can see the princess when he goes there.
"Let's talk about it later." The third prince's voice was a little hoarse. After sending Zi Yang away, he decided to go back to his room and take a rest.
He lay down on the couch, and soon he felt sleepy and fell into a dream again.
"My lady, it's windy outside, please go back and rest!"
The third prince stood aside, and the scene before him was the familiar palace.
He followed the sound and saw Mu Xue sitting outside. The night wind blew her hair and skirt, and a guqin was placed in front of her.
The person who spoke was her personal maid. She took a cloak and put it on her shoulders, and her words were filled with heartache and complaint.
"Your Majesty, why do you have to worry about His Majesty? He has Concubine Mei by his side. Are you still worried that he can't sleep?"
Mu Xue raised her eyelids slightly and said calmly, "I heard that His Majesty has been suffering from insomnia recently. I hope this music can help him get a good night's sleep."
"But what's the point of your Majesty doing all this?" The maid pursed her lips. "Your Majesty knows nothing. You've done so much for His Majesty, but His Majesty doesn't even know who you are. You don't feel sorry for your own servant, but you do."
The Third Prince wanted to tell Mu Xue that he knew everything: the amulet she had prayed for him for more than ten years, her companionship in the palace after he grew up, her care when he was unconscious, and the music she played for him when he couldn't sleep.
He knew all this, but he couldn't say anything.
"For the last time," Mu Xue played the last note and slowly stood up.
Her voice was low and soon drifted away in the night wind, but the Third Prince still heard her words clearly.
"Your Majesty, you should have figured it out long ago," the maid smiled, put away her zither, and followed Mu Xue into the bedroom. "I'll go make some hot soup for you right now, so you don't catch a cold and hurt yourself."
The third prince followed the two into the bedroom. He slowly walked to Mu Xue's side and looked at her slightly red fingertips. His hand stretched out uncontrollably, but he could not touch the fingertips that were injured by the person in front of him playing the piano.
At this time, a group of people came in from the door, led by the time-traveling girl, Concubine Mei.
She had a smile on her lips and looked down at Mu Xue condescendingly.
"I came here to tell you that I'm pregnant. I'll also tell the emperor about your playing the piano to help him sleep, and ask him to come to your palace and sit with you."
Mu Xue seemed not to have heard her words, and said calmly, "No need, Concubine Mei appreciates your kindness."
"I have good intentions, so please don't appreciate it."
Watching Mei Fei leave, Mu Xue seemed to be talking to herself and said, "What's the point?"
She thought that as long as she could see the emperor from afar, or just stay by his side silently, it would be enough, but now she suddenly found that she could not bear it anymore.
She is tired after so many years and it is time to let herself go.
She has written down everything Yang Xin did, and someone will hand it to the emperor after she leaves.
