Nan Yin was speechless; it was a scene from her second life...
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager..." An Xin stood to the side, somewhat worried.
"I know I was wrong, I'm sorry..." Nan Yin said softly.
"Your Majesty may not know, but there is actually a wedding dress always kept in Miaoyin Pavilion. The Pavilion Master always stares at that wedding dress in a daze. He often asks his subordinates, 'What would Your Majesty look like if you wore this wedding dress?'" After he finished speaking, Nanyin looked over.
When the maids of Miaoyinge brought over the so-called wedding dress, Nanyin suddenly felt as if her feet weighed a ton, and she couldn't step on it no matter what.
Looking at the wedding attire in front of him, Nan Yin stretched out his hand. He had prepared the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe.
"In the storeroom of Miaoyin Pavilion are the betrothal gifts prepared by the Pavilion Master for the Empress Dowager. He said that the Empress Dowager is of noble birth, while he is just a lowly person who has been abandoned. If one day the Empress Dowager is willing to be with him, he will not be too poor." The attendant continued, and Nanyin touched the wedding dress, tears streaming down her face.
"I'll wear it... I'll wear it for him to see... I'll marry him." Nan Yin's voice was choked with sobs.
"Actually, before the Pavilion Master left, he instructed his subordinates to burn this wedding dress, because he did not want to bind you with this wedding dress. He said you are free, and you can always be Nanyin, and will never be anyone's possession again. Nanyin will always be Nanyin. If a free bird is tired, it can return to its nest here. If it does not wish to... then fly away," the attendant continued.
"No... I'm tired of flying... My wings are injured, I can't fly anymore. I want to find a place to rest, to stay with the people I love forever..." Nan Yin smiled. She was so tired, she could never fly again.
An Xin felt sorry for Nan Yin seeing her like this. She had never known that there were so many stories behind this. All she knew was that the Imperial Advisor had always had special feelings for the Empress Dowager. From the time he arrived at the General's Mansion, there had only been one person in the Imperial Advisor's eyes, and that was the Empress Dowager...
As the Empress Dowager gazed at the images, Miao Yinge… Suddenly, something seemed to dawn on her: “There was no Miao Yinge in the previous two lives…”
"The Pavilion Master knows he can't stay with the Empress Dowager forever. This Miaoyin Pavilion was created specifically for her. He said it's a paradise he's built for you, a home you can leave the palace for in the future. This is the intelligence hub of the entire Yuan Kingdom, and the people here are the number one assassin organization in Yuan Kingdom. You won't be disturbed by outsiders here, and you can be protected for your entire life. Even if he's not here, there will be people to continue protecting you." Gu Yin can always be considerate towards Nan Yin.
“He is the Imperial Advisor, he knows everything under the heavens, he has connections everywhere, so he will be fine… He sealed his memories here because he was afraid he would forget them, so he will actually come back, right?” Nan Yin suddenly lost control. She was unwilling to accept the fact that Gu Yin had left. Gu Yin was so powerful, how could he just leave like this?
If he really left, how could he leave behind any memories? So... he's still here, he just forgot himself.
Gu Yin… “Gu Yin… Gu Yin!” Nan Yin began to lose control. She shouted at her surroundings. He must still be watching her secretly. He must be there, just like when she was a child. She just couldn’t see him anymore, but he hadn’t disappeared.
"Gu Yin! Gu Yin! You're here, aren't you?" Nan Yin looked around as if Gu Yin really was there.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!" An Xin tried to stop the out-of-control Nan Yin, but Nan Yin ignored her and kept shouting Gu Yin's name. Gu Yin must still be there.
Nan Yin screamed hoarsely as she collapsed to the ground: "Gu Yin... come out, I'm hurt... come out... Gu Yin." Nan Yin was in a daze.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager..." An Xin helped Nan Yin up.
“Anxin…he must be angry. He’s angry at my self-righteousness, he’s angry that I didn’t listen to his advice…what should I do? He’s angry. He’s never been angry with me before. How should I coax him?” Nanyin grabbed Anxin’s hand.
"Your Majesty, Lord Gu has passed away." An Xin felt a sharp pang of sorrow in her heart.
"You're lying! Gu Yin said he won't disappear, it's just that I can't see him anymore. He'll always be here, he would never lie to me." Nan Yin said emotionally.
“Oh right, Jiangcheng… He said that’s his hometown, his birthplace, so he must be waiting for me there. I need to go find him.” Nan Yin was in a daze.
"Gu Yin, wait for me. I'm going to Jiangcheng right away. I'll come find you after we get married." Nan Yin stood up with An Xin's help.
Looking at the wedding attire here, she said, "Help me and Gu Yin prepare for our wedding. I'm going to marry him. He's angry, and I need to coax him. I don't know how. Do you think he'll calm down if I marry him?" Nan Yin asked.
Before An Xin and the others could answer, she interjected, "It's okay. Even if he's still angry, I'll still marry him. After we're married, I'll coax him slowly." Nan Yin smiled, wiping away her tears. "Don't cry. A bride doesn't look pretty when she cries. He's angry now and won't wipe my tears, so I can't cry... Hurry, you all go quickly! Hurry up and start preparing for the wedding. If we're late, I won't be able to coax him back." Nan Yin urged. Although An Xin was worried, what could she do right now?
Everyone at Miaoyinge was busy, because the Pavilion Master and his wife were about to get married... Nanyin said that after she and Gu Yin got married, she would go to Jiangcheng to find him. Gu Yin said that he wanted to go to Jiangcheng to see him himself. Now... she was going to see him.
On the way to Jiangcheng, Nanyin kept wondering if he would get impatient waiting for her. Would he think she wasn't coming back?
Just as Nan Yin was urging the driver to hurry up, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Madam, a child has fallen over there..."
Nan Yin lifted the curtain of the carriage... In the middle of the road, several servants were hitting a child with sticks. Nan Yin was probably thinking of the time when she first met Gu Yin. She was about to speak up to stop them. Was that person... him?
Before she could even speak, a man appeared, dressed in white as snow. He had his back to Nan Yin and stopped the people from beating the child.
Nan Yin couldn't make a sound. She slowly walked over to the person below, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
He heard the child ask, "Big brother, are you waiting for someone here too?"
"Hmm... I'm waiting for an old friend..." the man in white said softly.
“Old friend…Young master, am I the old friend you’ve been waiting for?” Nan Yin asked.
The man in white turned his head when he heard the voice...
Their eyes met, and they remained silent.
