After the imperial physician left, Yu Jingchen called out, "Thank you for coming!"
Xinglai wondered what had happened, but when he came in, he heard Yu Jingchen say to him, "I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so the morning court session has been canceled. Unless it's something urgent, please don't bother me. If you really have something to report, just send your memorial."
Xinglai: "..." Your Majesty, you are truly amazing, but you weren't like this before...
Before Xinglai could even agree, Yu Jingchen said, "Keep a close eye on the movements in the palace these next few days, and then have someone keep an eye on Yu Jing'an. And... have someone keep an eye on Nansu as well." After Yu Jingchen said this, Xinglai's expression became more serious.
"Yes," Xinglai agreed.
Yu Jingchen didn't want to continue, so he waved his hand and dismissed the others.
After he left, he sat down next to Nan Zhiyun again and took her hand in his. "This is the last time. It's not because I don't trust you, but some things always need to be guarded against. If things continue along the same path, I will definitely find a way to change it. Yun'er, we will be alright from now on. We will be like we were in our past life. No matter what happens, you will always be my bottom line. So I hope you will trust me one more time. Don't hide from me, don't be afraid of me."
Nan Zhiyun is still asleep, so she can't respond, but Yu Jingchen keeps talking to himself. There are things he might not be able to say, but he's content with what he can do.
Yu Jingchen stayed by her side the whole time, waiting for Nan Zhiyun to wake up, without leaving her side for a moment.
?——?——?——?——?——?——?
Cixi Palace
When she heard these words, especially when she heard that Yu Jingchen had been watching over Nan Zhiyun ever since she was injured, and that he hadn't even gone to court this morning, she felt that something was amiss.
Actually, I had this feeling yesterday, but I was worried about Nan Zhiyun at the time, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But now it's different. Thinking about it carefully, many things seem strange. Has Yu Jingchen changed too much?
What exactly caused such a drastic change in his attitude? What exactly happened?
"Do you know what Gu Yin has been up to lately?" the Empress Dowager suddenly asked.
“I haven’t seen Lord Gu recently…” An Xin replied.
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. Some things had been really strange lately, and there were those images that flashed through her dreams...
She didn't know what these images meant, but she always felt uneasy, and the more she thought about it, the more terrified she became. The images were fragmented and never connected, but judging from what they conveyed, they seemed very cruel.
Not only that, but there are also many scenes about Gu Yin in the picture... It seems that there are many more stories between him and me, but I have no memory of them at all, and I am sure that I did not do them, so where did these scenes come from?
Surely it couldn't have happened for no reason? She felt a growing sense of unease, so all she wanted to do was find Gu Yin first.
(Dear everyone, please don't worry! Many people are wondering why the female lead hasn't been reborn yet, and why the progress is so slow. I'd like to explain a few things.)
Firstly, our current chapter has only just begun, so we need a short transition. Also, the male protagonist hasn't regained all his memories yet, and now is not the best time for the female protagonist to be reborn.
Many people want the female lead to be reborn, isn't that just so they can make her suffer? So if she's reborn now, it won't be enough to make her suffer, hehe. We need to choose the right time, haha.
I can give you a slight spoiler: the female lead's rebirth point is after Nan Su returns, and our male lead will also regain his second life memories—the memories of killing Nan Su with his own hands. The female lead's story also begins in this phase, so things will get quite interesting.
Secondly, after reading many readers' comments, they felt the earlier parts were too depressing and too heart-wrenching. They wanted to see scenes where the male lead dotes on the female lead, to see their interactions, and to have something a little sweeter, so this development was arranged.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the ending. I know many readers might be hoping for a happy ending, but we still need to consider the actual situation and see how the plot develops. While I can't completely guarantee it will be a tragic ending, it definitely won't be a happy one. Otherwise, what's the point of a second chance at life?
Moreover, this time the female lead has regained her memories of her second life, in which the male lead personally killed her father. This is unforgivable and absolutely unacceptable. Furthermore, since I've already arranged for her to be reborn, it's impossible for her to forget this. There can't be any amnesia trope or anything like that, so this aspect will definitely not be a happy ending. I hope everyone understands.
And just so you can be mentally prepared, the female lead's rebirth will be incredibly heart-wrenching. While I personally don't think it's a big deal, some readers who can't handle angst should be prepared. And... it won't all be about torturing the male lead.
I won't reveal the ending now, but I can say it won't be a completely happy ending. However, you can also give me some suggestions. I hope you can tell me how it develops.
I wrote two endings in the main text earlier. One was an ending that most people would likely accept, while the other was the ending I personally felt was the right one. So I wrote two endings. Of course, it might not satisfy everyone's wishes, but I've tried my best. Haha.
