The proprietress looked at Zhiyun, hesitated, and did not express her opinion.
"I did what I said. I took one last look at him and then I left."
"Really?" The proprietress seemed hesitant, but she was not sure yet.
"It's true. I hope you can take me there, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow." Zhiyun's voice was firm, and her expression expressed her determination and resolve.
Seeing and hearing this, the proprietress half-closed her eyes and smiled, fanning the wind with the fan in her hand up and down, "Why don't you ask Louis to take you there?"
"Because I know he won't take me." Louis had already taken her there once.
There won't be a second time.
She knew very well that no matter what she promised in front of Louis, Louis would no longer agree to it.
So, Zhiyun set her sights on the proprietress.
If the proprietress had not appeared yesterday, Zhiyun would have had no idea that the proprietress could enter and leave the cold and eerie palace at will.
"Little girl, you know I won't do business at a loss. I'm very greedy." The proprietress reminded her, her smile conveying so much meaning.
"Money, I can give you any amount, just ask."
Just like the boss lady said, she is greedy for money and she has money.
In fact, greed for money is better than anything else. At least there is something to be greedy for. If she is not greedy for anything, then she really has no chance.
"Okay." The proprietress folded the fan in her hand and said to Zhiyun, "Then I will take you there one more time, for the last time. After this final meeting, go back to where you should be, live a good life, and forget him."
Zhiyun agreed: "Okay."
The appointment with the boss lady is the day after tomorrow.
After Zhiyun returned to the villa, she did not reveal anything to Louis.
She was afraid that Louis would become a stumbling block in her plan, so she didn't say a word.
But during the meal, Louis would still ask her: “Ali, what are your plans for the future?”
"What do you think about continuing your career, expanding your ambitions, and becoming the richest man in the world?" Zhiyun said calmly.
"Is that all?"
Zhiyun's answer surprised Louis a little. He thought that after she had experienced the fact that Han Qingrang had left her, she would be devastated and decadent.
"How about waiting another three years and then I'll fight for the throne of Smantu? Maybe if I try hard enough, I can be crowned the queen again."
Zhiyun pretended to speak in a relaxed tone.
"Of course you can, even now," Louis leaned forward slightly. "Ali, you are the queen, the only queen in the history of Smantu. You are the first, and you can be the second, to break your own rules and take the position that rightfully belongs to you."
"What do you mean?" Zhiyun didn't understand what he meant.
Look at him.
Louis said, "I'll put you back there again if you want."
"You mean, send me back to my place as queen, right?"
"Yes, that's the position that should belong to you." Louis' voice was so loud and clear.
Zhiyun understood what he meant. As long as she agreed, she wanted to, or she was willing, he could help her regain the position that originally belonged to her.
Let her be queen again.
The second queen.
Zhiyun smiled but didn't refuse outright: "I'll think about it. After all, being a queen and being a businesswoman are two completely different concepts. Besides, I have no memory of my first life. I am now my second life. Those things about power supremacy are very unfamiliar to me."
"Strangeness is only temporary. The supremacy of power has already been etched into your soul."
Power is supreme. She is Queen Usuda, the most noble daughter of the Usuda family, Riori. She was born to be a queen and to be worshipped by all the people.
However, to Zhiyun, who now has no memory of her past life, these sound like other people's stories. Having experienced too many mysterious things, she no longer regards many things as important.
She is now the second generation.
"I'm going to see the boss lady tomorrow. I hope you won't follow me."
"Ali, it's time for you to leave." Louis reminded her.
"I know, I should leave," Zhiyun put down the chopsticks in her hand, "So, after tomorrow, I will leave Teng Mansion and leave this water city."
"good."
Louis was of course very happy to hear Zhiyun agree to leave.
He now hopes that Zhiyun will leave this water city with him as soon as possible, leave the European Teng Mansion, and go anywhere, but not come here again.
Because this place is full of her sad memories, and that person's departure was too much of a blow to her.
*
This day has come.
As Zhiyun wished, Lewis did not follow her when she went out.
She breathed a sigh of relief and went to the proprietress's hotel, where she was already waiting for her.
"Here I am."
The proprietress was wearing a fox fur coat, and if Zhiyun guessed correctly, she was wearing a cheongsam with a waistline underneath. The proprietress loved to dress like this and was very fond of cheongsams.
Without waiting for Zhiyun to speak, the proprietress looked at Zhiyun and asked, "You didn't bring anything, did you?"
Zhiyun looked down at herself. She had nothing in her hands.
Or, should she bring anything?
That shouldn't be necessary. She just needs to take herself with her.
"Then, let's go."
When they came out, there was already a pumpkin carriage waiting for them outside.
*
In the huge and empty room, the white ice coffin was still there.
Forgetting that the proprietress was behind her, Zhiyun almost ran to the ice coffin.
Looking at the huge ice coffin and the person lying inside, Zhiyun smiled, and her eyes turned red as she smiled.
She lay with her upper body on the ice coffin, her hand stroking the lid: "Doctor Han, I'm here again. It's only been two days since we last met. Do you miss me? With your personality, you feel like you've missed me so much after not seeing me for just one day. You must be missing me."
Finally, she gently put her face close to the lid of the icy coffin and whispered, "I miss you, too."
Her voice was very soft. She was speaking quietly to the person in the ice coffin, so she didn't need to speak so loudly. He would definitely hear it.
Zhiyun learned how Louis opened the ice coffin lid that day, and soon opened it smoothly.
The mask was put on, and Zhiyun reached out and took it off his face. "You didn't look thinner that day, but you look thinner today."
In the huge, empty room, only her voice could be heard.
The proprietress in the distance stood quietly behind him, watching this scene.
"Doctor Han," Zhiyun's fingertips touched his face, sliding across it bit by bit, "You hope that I will get better, so let me tell you, I won't save myself, nor will I be indifferent to sadness or joy. I will accept all the unfairness in this world, but I may not be as gentle as you."
