He just stood there in a daze. The white horse let out a long neigh and then lowered its head. It seemed as if it sensed something and stopped talking. It just lowered its head quietly, exhaling from its mouth from time to time.
Their bodies were stiff and their hands holding the reins were shaking.
No...I won't...
The door of Huaixiang Pavilion was open, and the sound of crying could be heard from inside, which was very sad.
After calming himself down, Lin Song dismounted from his horse.
Seeing this scene, he was afraid to go in for a moment.
I was really looking forward to meeting An Yi, but now I can't move my feet anymore.
Impossible...
impossible……
He even pulled up a terrifying smile, and without caring about anything else, he ran in with the imperial edict, waving pieces of paper money with his big strides.
The white paper money seemed to be telling something silently, floating up slowly and then falling to the ground.
As the paper money fell, Lin Song arrived at the door of Huaixiang Pavilion.
The huge coffin was facing the door, and everyone in Huaixiang Pavilion was lying on the coffin, their eyes were swollen from crying.
They slowly raised their heads. Unexpectedly, they did not seem surprised by Lin Song's arrival. They just looked at him slowly. There was something unknown flowing in the air.
Lin Song's smile was uglier than crying. He stared at the coffin and slowly raised the imperial edict in his hand.
"Everyone... I have found a way to save you... This is the imperial decree that will save you from exile..."
Slowly walking into the room, his hand brushed against the coffin intentionally or unintentionally, and placed the imperial edict in the hands of Xi Niang, who was in the lead.
"And I have good news to tell you. I am free now. The Imperial Master really rescued me..."
"I can be with Anyi now. If father still doesn't agree, I will break off relations with him..."
"It's okay... It's okay... I will definitely be with her well..."
As he spoke, Lin Song seemed to have lost his soul. He started walking around the coffin, looking at everyone, not knowing what he was looking at.
His eyes were so empty that if anyone looked at him, one would feel a chill in their heart.
After looking at everyone below, Lin Song slowly turned around and went back to the second floor.
"Where's Anyi... Where's Anyi? Why can't I see her..."
He muttered to himself, making Xi Niangzi and the others cry even more deeply. They just watched Lin Song walk up the stairs, missing his steps countless times, his body shaky, his eyes fixed on the second floor.
"Ah, she must be in the room. I know she must be angry with me."
"It's okay, it doesn't matter... She always..."
When she was about to step onto the last step, Lady Xi finally couldn't help herself and cried out
"You understand it better than anyone else, right? You must understand it better than anyone else."
"Everyone needs to understand."
Touching the coffin with her fingers, Xi Niangzi's eyes were filled with sorrow but deep longing.
"An Yi, An Yi has gone very far away. She really had a very hard life."
"Mr. Lin, she is just a fragile woman. You will never know what she has endured."
"She suffered so much, she really suffered so much..."
As she spoke, Xi Niangzi's nasal tone became heavier. One girl couldn't help crying on the coffin and yelled at Lin Song in pain.
"That's An Yi in there! Why didn't you come here earlier? If you had come earlier, An Yi wouldn't be like this!"
"She's dead! She's dead! When a person dies, there's nothing left! Lin Song!"
“Lin Song!!!”
The last sound shocked Lin Song, who didn't even look back, so much that his body froze. Then his legs went weak and he rolled down the long stairs.
He hit his head on the sharp edges of the newly polished stairs and it was bleeding. Blood kept flowing down from his head and finally dripped into his eyes and then down his cheeks to his chin.
A lot of the clothes on his body were torn, and the exposed skin was blue and purple.
Lin Song seemed to feel nothing at all, and stood up from the ground like a zombie. At this moment, tears suddenly flowed from his eyes, and he limped to the side of the coffin.
"You are lying... You are lying..."
"I clearly told her to wait for me... How could she... How could she..."
He had no strength left in his body, and the huge blow to his head made him unable to hear any sounds from the outside world.
Because his legs were soft, his head hit the corner of the coffin, and blood stained the coffin. He whimpered slowly, and then tears as big as beans rolled down his eyes one by one.
Using his last bit of strength, he climbed onto the coffin and leaned his entire body against it, with veins bulging on his neck.
"An Yi...An Yi!"
"Why! Why didn't you wait for me?"
The sunny day only lasted for a short while in the night, and then it started to rain.
I don’t know whose miserable cries mixed in with the rain.
Heartbroken.
…
"What shall we do now? What shall we do now?"
Chu Zhiyao paced back and forth in the room, looking very impatient.
"Every time we're about to accomplish something, Xu Qingyi always comes to ruin our plans. But the Empress Dowager and the Emperor trust him so much that we have no way to change him."
Lin Qingshan sat aside with a gloomy face, watching Chu Zhiyao walking around like this, his eyes were almost blurry, and he rubbed his brows.
"Can't you just calm down for a while? It's been so long, and this matter is a foregone conclusion. There's no way to undo it. Now that things have come to this, we can only think of other solutions."
"What other solutions are there?"
Neither Lin Qingshan's calmness and gloominess nor Chu Zhiyao's irritability caught Gu Yinghuai's attention.
He still looked nonchalant, staring blankly at the candlelight in the distance.
After a while, he smiled and spoke.
"He's just a loser who uses his little brain on women."
"There are no such things as rotating stars. Lin Song is using all his brainpower just to escape his engagement with Gu Miao. He is truly stupid."
"You mean..."
Hearing something was wrong in his words, Lin Qingshan frowned and asked
"Your Highness, are you saying that everything that happened tonight was actually a setup?!"
"The stars are spinning in the sky. Is it Xu Qingyi and Lin Song who are causing trouble?"
"I'll tell you!"
Chu Zhiyao immediately slapped his thigh and sat down
"How could it be such a coincidence! The stars in the sky started moving just when Gu Miao got engaged?"
"How could such a thing happen in this world? Are you two crazy? It's really interesting."
After hearing what Gu Yinghuai said, both of them looked a little embarrassed.
Lin Qingshan touched his nose
"It's really hard to say. After all, it was Xu Qingyi who said that. Who would have thought he would set up such a trap?"
"But since Your Highness knew this was a setup, why didn't you point it out right away?"
