The Empress Dowager leaned against her chest, her heart filled with endless emotions, her mind filled with the scene of Gu Yin leaving in her previous life, when she thought she would never see him again...
"I will be here, always will be. As long as you need me, I will never leave." Gu Yin patted Nan Zhiyun's head and told her.
"I'm sorry..." The Empress Dowager was apologizing to him, but what was the reason for this debt of guilt? And where did it come from?
"No, I'm sorry, Yin'er... I'm very lucky." He was born after his mother carried him for thirteen months, so he was treated as an outsider from birth. Later, because of his birth, misfortunes befell those around him one after another, so he was abandoned by his parents.
It wasn't until he met Nan Yin and Nan Xiaoming that things slowly changed. At that moment, he felt his existence was solely for Nan Yin…
What others don't know is that from birth, he could see many things that ordinary people couldn't. He was different from ordinary infants, and he didn't know why he was like this. Many people said he was the child of Heaven, but... it seems that the child of Heaven is not treated kindly by Heaven.
"Gu Yin... I regret it. Let's be good to each other from now on, okay? Forgive me. This time, I want to go to Jiangcheng. Will you take me there?" The Empress Dowager looked at Gu Yin.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Gu Yin looked at her with affection. At this moment, Gu Yin was gentle and refined, dressed in white. He had said that he would never grow old.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but even so, Nan Yin seems to be a perfect match for him, and time has been kind to her.
The two people in Cixi Palace looked at each other, as if everything could be salvaged now.

He'an Hall
Nan Zhiyun woke up from a nightmare; she had just dreamt of the moment she died in her past life.
Nan Zhiyun sat up, panting heavily. Everything in her dream seemed to have just happened, and she was still in shock.
"Your Highness, are you having another nightmare?" Qianxia came in after hearing the noise.
Nan Zhiyun shook her head. She had been having nightmares every day for the past few days. Everything in her dreams was about what happened last time, especially the last scene.
Yu Jingchen also entered from outside. As soon as he came in, he saw Nan Zhiyun sitting on the bed, looking restless. He knew what Nan Zhiyun's recent state was like, but he didn't say anything because Nan Zhiyun didn't like it.
His appearance drew everyone's attention. Yu Jingchen walked over and sat down on the edge of her bed.
"Did you have a nightmare?" he asked gently, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
Nan Zhiyun dodged to the side, and Yu Jingchen's hand froze in mid-air before he clenched it and withdrew it. There was a moment of silence in the air, but Yu Jingchen still managed a forced smile.
“You’ve been cooped up in He’an Palace these past few days, not going out at all. The weather’s nice today, shall I take you out for a walk?” Yu Jingchen asked her.
Nan Zhiyun remained silent.
"The weather is nice today. Why don't you go out and soak up some sun? Or would you like to leave the palace? How about I take you out for a look?" Yu Jingchen added.
Nan Zhiyun remained silent, showing no intention of paying any attention to Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen was ignored twice, which everyone around him felt was going too far, and the atmosphere in the room became tense. However, the outcome they expected did not occur; Yu Jingchen did not get angry.
“There’s nothing I can do if you don’t talk. You have to go out today. You’ve been cooped up inside for so long. You can’t go out for a walk. It won’t make you feel better.” As Yu Jingchen spoke, he took out her shoes and other items, preparing to help her put them on.
"I'm not going out," Nan Zhiyun said, her gaze towards Yu Jingchen indifferent.
Yu Jingchen acted as if he hadn't heard anything, helped Nan Zhiyun put on her shoes, and then picked her up from the bed.
"So you're asking me what the point is? Isn't it just that you decide what to do?" Nan Zhiyun didn't resist, but only said this sentence, which made Yu Jingchen pause.
"Going out for a walk is good for your health," Yu Jingchen said.
“But I’m not in a good mood,” Nan Zhiyun said.
“I can take you out of the palace for a stroll. You can tell me what you want to do.” Yu Jingchen was not annoyed.
“You said you didn’t want me to leave the palace, so I’ve been staying here every day. Also, you’ve set up so many guards outside He’an Palace because you don’t want me to leave, and you don’t want anyone to enter He’an Palace. So I’ve been locking myself in this little room every day and not going anywhere else. Are you satisfied now?” Nan Zhiyun asked him.
“I feel like a prisoner, being watched no matter what I do. I have to get your permission for everything I do, and I have to listen to whatever you say. I’m just a puppet, a puppet that has to do whatever you want,” Nan Zhiyun continued. Yu Jingchen didn’t like hearing her talk like this.
"This is for your safety. If you really want to go out and do what you want to do, you can tell me. I didn't say I definitely wouldn't allow it. Also, if you really want to do what you want to do, then you should take good care of your health. With your current condition, what do you think you can do?" Yu Jingchen asked her in return.
"You said it yourself, I need your permission, but I am a person, a person with thoughts. Why do I have to get your approval for everything I do? So you want to control me. You never consider what I want; you only think about what you want me to do, and I can only do that. You say you're thinking about my health, but I am the way I am now because of you." Nan Zhiyun spoke without any mercy.
