Crown Prince Chu Chengli has been trapped in a nightmare and unable to extricate himself. The scenes in the dream make him feel extremely painful and terrified.
In his dream, he saw an unfamiliar world, a place filled with darkness and blood. There, he saw the tragic scene of himself and Shu Shu being killed in the explosion, and Luo Lingyue standing triumphantly beside them, bomb in hand, a cruel smile on her face. All of this shocked and angered him, and at the same time, filled him with worry and anxiety about the future.
Suddenly, he found that the world he was in seemed a little different. He began to wonder if he had traveled to another time and space, or if it was just a terrible nightmare. As time went by, his memory gradually returned, and he realized that this world might really be the one he traveled to.
However, when he thought of what he had done to Shu Shu, his heart sank again. He recalled how he had treated her and even kicked the fetus out of her belly.
He was filled with deep remorse and regret, thinking he was a complete bastard. Now, Shu Shu was injured again while protecting him, and her life or death was uncertain, which made him feel extremely guilty and heartbroken.
At this moment, Chu Chengli finally understood what was most important. He vowed to make up for his past mistakes, take good care of Shu Shu, and make her happy. No matter what happened in the future, he would stick to this promise and never leave her.
The Queen saw that Crown Prince Chu Chengli was frowning and looking pained. She pulled her son's hand with a heartbroken look and said, "Chengli! Wake up quickly! Your Majesty will tear the person who hurt you into pieces!"
Cheng Li struggled in his dream. He saw Luo Lingyue with a cold face. She said she loved him so much, but she couldn't even tolerate Shu Shu. She was also reluctant to give him gold, silver and treasures!
If she had given him enough money, how could he and Shu Shu have poisoned her? It was all her fault! Why couldn't she just let them have their way?
Cheng Li suddenly screamed and woke up from his dream!
When the queen heard the voice, she quickly leaned forward and asked, "Chengli? Are you feeling unwell?"
Cheng Li slowly opened his eyes and saw the Queen's face. He murmured to himself, "Where am I..."
The queen hugged her son distressedly and said with a sob, "Chengli, you finally woke up! You scared me to death!"
Cheng Li's eyes gradually regained clarity as he remembered what had happened. He said weakly, "Mother, I'm fine. It was just a nightmare."
The Queen held Cheng Li's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face. She said, "Cheng Li, no matter who harmed you, I will make him pay for it!"
Cheng Li nodded, his heart filled with resentment towards Luo Lingyue. He knew that here he would not only have to contend with Luo Lingyue, but also with the other princes who were eyeing the position of crown prince.
Seeing Chu Chengli's gloomy face, Empress Li Qianwan hurriedly asked, "My son, are you feeling any worse for wear? Don't worry! I've already asked your father-in-law to investigate those assassins! I will definitely avenge you and Jingshu!"
Chu Chengli replied with a worried look on his face, "I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you, mother! But where is Jingshu? Is her life in danger?"
Li Qianwan frowned, sighed, and said, "Alas... Fortunately, Luo Liu treated her, and her life was saved! But her injuries were too severe, and she has been unconscious. I am really worried!"
Chu Chengli was extremely anxious when he heard this. He said anxiously, "I want to go see her!"
Li Qianwan quickly grabbed Chu Chengli's hand and comforted him, "Jingshu is still in a coma, so it's useless for you to go. Besides, you just got scared and need to rest well. Wait until she wakes up, then go see her."
Chu Chengli frowned tightly and said firmly, "Jingshu suffered such hardships because of me. I will never abandon her!"
Li Qianwan was a little angry and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Now you have forgotten Jingshu's kindness? You were bewitched by those two vixen and did such a cruel thing to Jingshu! Do you know that he is your eldest son? If the East Palace has an heir, it will be more beneficial to the stability of your position as Crown Prince! You... It's really a pity!"
After hearing this, Chu Chengli knelt on the ground without saying a word, tears streaming down his face. He admitted his fault in a choked voice: "It's all my fault! I have failed Jingshu!"
Li Qianwan glanced at Chu Chengli and said calmly, "It's not impossible to save the situation. As long as those two vixens give birth to a child, we can get rid of them and leave the child to Jingshu to raise!"
Chu Chengli hesitated when he heard this. After all, those two concubines were gentle and lovely, and they were also his beloved ones.
Li Qianwan saw this, her eyebrows raised, and she asked angrily, "Why? Are you still reluctant to let go?"
Chu Chengli quickly lowered his head and replied, "I will obey your mother's arrangements in everything!"
Li Xuelan was standing outside the window, startled and shaking uncontrollably. She tried to turn around and leave in panic, but accidentally kicked the flower pot by the corridor to the ground.
Chu Chengli, who was inside the room, immediately became alert to something unusual and shouted, "Who's outside? Get out!"
Li Xuelan's face turned pale in an instant, and she clearly heard the footsteps of Chu Chengli walking out of the room.
Fear gripped her, knowing she might not be able to escape this crisis. Chu Chengli's brutal and ruthless nature meant he would never let anyone who knew the secret go. Thinking of this, Li Xuelan felt despair, convinced her fate was sealed.
However, just when she was about to give up, a warm big hand suddenly grasped her slender waist and quickly brought her to the corner of the palace roof.
When Chu Chengli walked out of the room, he saw a white cat squatting next to an overturned flowerpot.
At this moment, the guards arrived to inquire about the situation. Chu Chengli's face was terribly gloomy. He kicked the white cat mercilessly and said to the guards fiercely, "Take it out and kill it! From now on, if there is another cat in the East Palace, you will lose your heads!"
The guards were terrified, trembling all over, picked up the white cat and hurriedly fled the scene...
Li Xuelan's heart was pounding so hard she felt like she was about to faint. She looked up at the man in black who was still holding her waist. She had never seen this man before. Why did he want to save her? Was he also here to eavesdrop on the conversation between the Crown Prince and the Queen?
The man in black saw fear in Li Xuelan's eyes and whispered to her, "Miss Li, don't be afraid! I'm from Dark Moon Fairy! My name is Sword Soul!"
Li Xuelan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Dark Moon Fairy's name. Her face flushed and she said softly, "Brother Sword Spirit! I'm fine!"
