Just like the first night she entered the book, the dream was about life from the perspective of "Ning Xihua", but her dream was very different from the plot of the original book that Ning Xihua had read.

In the dream, "Ning Xihua" loved the third prince Su Xu purely and passionately, and finally got help from her father and obtained a marriage arrangement from the emperor.

Three years after the marriage, the former crown prince died. Su Xu won the support of King Ning because of his engagement with her.

Less than a year later, under the protection of Prince Ning, Su Xu was made the crown prince.

She was not happy for long, but was exposed in public that she had an affair with Su Xu's bodyguard. She cried and clarified to Su Xu that she did not do it, but Su Xu just walked away in disgust.

Before "Ning Xihua" had time to go home to ask King Ning for help, Lin Mengli appeared.

She fed her the poison herself and watched her writhe on the ground in pain.

At the end of the pain, she heard Lin Mengli whispering in her ear: "Do you think Su Xu doesn't know that you are wronged? Have you ever thought about why that guard insisted on having an affair with you?"

She trembled with pain, wondering if she had heard wrongly: "... was it you?"

Lin Mengli chuckled proudly, "Yes, it's us. Su Xu has been appointed as the crown prince, and the Emperor has also removed most of the 300,000 troops from Prince Ning because of your marriage. You have lost your usefulness."

Ning Xihua pinched her palm in pain, but still grasped the key point: "What military power?"

Lin Mengli looked at her sarcastically: "You are such a naive little princess who grew up in a greenhouse! Why do you think the emperor agreed to your father's marriage request so easily? That was what your father exchanged for 200,000 soldiers."

She sneered: "As for the remaining 100,000, most of them are probably under Su Xu's control now."

"Ning Xihua" was filled with hatred and regret, but she was in so much pain that she couldn't utter a complete sentence. She could only grab her chest and breathe with difficulty.

Lin Mengli looked at her painful expression and laughed heartily, her pretty face distorted by her laughter.

"Su Xu loves me, you shouldn't be a stumbling block between us! So what if you are a princess? Aren't you struggling under my feet now?"

"Ning Xihua" closed her eyes for the last time and saw the huge Dongzhu adorning Lin Mengli's elegant steps.

She was like that oriental pearl, bright and radiant throughout her life, but in the end she only became an ornament on Lin Mengli's road to the top.

After the "Ning Xihua" in the dream died, she then saw what happened next from a third perspective.

Lin Mengli and Su Xu pretended that the scene was that "Ning Xihua" committed suicide by taking poison, and announced to the outside world that because they wanted to take Lin Mengli as their concubine, "Ning Xihua" was unable to accept it for a while, and because she could not get the love she wanted, she committed suicide.

This statement seemed to preserve the reputation of "Ning Xihua", but the fact that the adulterer was caught that day had already been spread.

Everyone just thought that Ning Xihua committed suicide by taking poison because she was embarrassed to live, and they also thought that the prince was kind-hearted and saved Ning Xihua's face before his death.

When Prince Ning learned that his only daughter had committed suicide, he was filled with grief and anger, and directed his rage at Su Xu.

At that time, Su Xu had already gained power over the government and the country. Prince Ning asked the emperor to uphold justice but failed, so he rose up in rebellion and vowed to kill Su Xu.

Unfortunately, he could not do it alone. Three months later, Su Xu, who had taken this opportunity to completely seize military power, killed King Ning in the name of rebelling against the enemy.

The Ning family was sentenced to beheading for treason, and no one was spared, young or old, male or female.

Su Xu made great contributions in the case of Prince Ning's rebellion, which further consolidated his power in the court. In the end, he successfully ascended the throne, and Lin Mengli became the legitimate queen.

Ning Xihua woke up in a cold sweat. She covered her chest and gasped for breath.

The pain and hatred of "Ning Xihua" in the dream were so strong that when she put herself into it, she also felt heartbroken.

This dream was so real that she had to believe it. This was the truth behind her original death.

It was not suicide, but poisoning.

After Su Xu becomes the crown prince, she will be poisoned by Su Xu and Lin Mengli, causing the Ning Palace to fall apart.

That's why Ning Xihua stood on Su Bi's side, eagerly hoping that Su Bi could firmly sit on his position as the crown prince.

She was afraid of pain, death, and repeating the same mistake.

Su Bi was like a life-saving straw in the puzzle. When he extended an olive branch, she grabbed it tightly and dared not let go.

But Su Bi was so good to her, so good that she even felt it was a little unreal.

She did not forget how cruel and ruthless Su Bi was when she first met him.

But ever since they met in Tingfeng Tower, Su Bi never showed this side of him in front of her again.

He is always gentle, tolerant, and considerate of everything about her.

She is just an ordinary girl. It is hard not to be moved when facing a beautiful woman who takes care of her in every possible way all day long.

But she was very conflicted by this kind of meticulous care.

It was clearly just a relationship of mutual benefit, but Su Bi's kindness made her unable to tell whether it was true or false.

Sometimes she didn't know whether his kindness was genuine or just out of cooperation.

Until this time, Su Bi killed someone in front of her.

She suddenly realized that this was Su Bi!

He had never changed. It was true that he was ruthless and cruel, and it was also true that he was very tolerant of her. He never bothered to deceive her.

It seemed that all her previous troubles were caused by herself.

………

On this day, the agreed five-day period had arrived. She was preparing to go to Linhua Palace as usual, but she received a message from Huai Liu.

She said that Su Bi was busy today and told her not to go this time.

This was the first time Su Bi missed an appointment. She felt something was wrong and recalled the last time they parted.

No way, the boss is not angry with her because she ran away last time. This is a bit too petty.

Being rejected, Ning Xihua felt a sense of loss in her heart that she was not even aware of.

She could only comfort herself. Never mind. She would be magnanimous and not bother with Su Bi. She would try to coax him next time they met.

While Ning Xihua was still thinking about how to appease Su Bi, He Louche's invitation was delivered to her.

Ning Xihua had promised to accompany him to tour the capital last time at Linhua Palace, and she would not go back on her word, so she happily accepted the invitation.

The next day, He Louche and Ning Xihua were walking on the streets of Jiqingfang.

"I first saw you on this street, and I didn't even know what you looked like at that time."

He Louche looked at the wide street and recalled the scene at that time.

"I felt at the time that this woman had a very good eye. She knew at first glance that I was being wronged."

He laughed out loud, praising himself jokingly.

Ning Xihua also laughed, "Well, you looked so pitiful at the time, it was hard not to believe it."

He Louche turned to look at her, his eyes serious and passionate.

"You may not believe it, but I probably fell in love with you the first time I saw you. Even though I didn't know your name or what you looked like at that time."

Ning Xihua was stared at with such sincerity that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Ning Xihua was silent, He Louche changed his tone and asked cheerfully, "What about you? How did you feel when you first saw me?"
