It was the afternoon of the next day that Ji Yuqi regained consciousness.
The weather is bad.
Even though it didn't rain.
But the dark clouds in the distant sky were thick and heavy. If the wall clock had not reminded him that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Yuqi would have thought it was evening.
Ji Yuqi lay on the bed without moving for a long time.
She had just woken up from a nightmare and was a little overwhelmed.
His heart felt like it was being pressed down by something heavy, and Ji Yuqi found it difficult to breathe.
She stared blankly at the ceiling.
She rarely dreams of Lu Yanjing anymore.
But every time she dreamed of him, she felt as if her chest was torn apart again, and she was suffocating with pain.
There is a saying in the capital: Dreaming of the dead is because the dead cannot let go of you.
So, did she make Lu Yanjing worried again? !
It was just like what those socialites in the wealthy circle of Country M said when they sneered at her: "Ji Yuqi, you are a jinx. Whoever you are with will be unlucky. Whoever is with you will be unlucky for the rest of their lives."
Even though Lu Yanjing was dead, she still made him uneasy.
Ji Yuqi really wanted to tell Lu Yanjing: Don’t worry about me anymore, I’m living a good life.
But……
But she didn't dare to tell lies to him.
After all, Lu Yanjing is the only one who is willing to make the whole world his enemy for her.
No matter how bad or miserable she is, in Lu Yanjing's eyes, she is still the best and the treasure that no one can touch.
Ji Yuqi wanted to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, but the tears that kept rolling down his face could not be wiped away.
Lu Yanjing is the thorn stuck in her heart, which can never be removed in this lifetime.
The Imperial Mansion, a mansion covering such a vast area, was silent at this moment, without even a sound.
Ji Yuqi was lying on the bed, the deathly silence made her anxiety suddenly reach its peak.
Ji Yuqi lifted the black quilt and wanted to leave the room.
But the moment his legs touched the ground, he couldn't exert any strength at all.
I don’t know if it was because he was too sick, too weak, or for some other reason, but Ji Yuqi almost fell down. Fortunately, he continued to hold on to the bedside table and managed to stabilize his body.
Finally, she fell back onto the bed and sat up.
It took her a long time to calm down.
When Ji Yuqi walked out of the room, it was quiet outside.
She had been to the Imperial Mansion several times and had stayed there for two days. Although the main house was the quietest place in the entire mansion, there were many guards responsible for security patrols on weekdays, and there were servants coming in and out all the time except after curfew.
But today, why is the whole house so quiet?
She didn't even see anyone outside the window.
Ji Yuqi became increasingly panicked.
As she took anxious steps and looked around for someone, she heard a noise coming from the direction of the kitchen.
It was the maid's unhappy complaint.
"According to Pei family rules, the three days before the sacrificial day, the recusation ceremony must be performed. Why did she let our eldest young master break the century-old family rule and let us stay to serve her?! I really don't understand. If the eldest young master clearly hates her so much, why would he keep her in the mansion? Logically, he should have taken advantage of her illness to send her away directly."
"Keep your voice down. No matter what, Ji Yuqi is now the mistress of the Pei family. It is taboo to talk about the mistress in the Pei family."
"Mistress?! What kind of mistress is she?! Have you ever seen a mistress sleeping in the guest room on the first floor?!"
"But she's the one on the eldest young master's marriage certificate."
