When there were many people around, Su Xuening did not open Xuan Yuanzhan's letter. Instead, she waited until night, when everyone had gone back to sleep and only Xiao Bao was with her, before she opened the letter that Xuan Yuanzhan had given her.
“Ning’er, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that you had a difficult childbirth in the cold palace. You were covered in sweat, and you were all alone in the dark and dilapidated palace. No one helped you give birth, and no one took care of you. I saw you screaming in pain, with no strength left. My heart felt like it was being torn apart. I rushed over to hug you, but I couldn’t touch you.”
Seeing you in labor, I frantically called for the midwife, but there was no one in the Cold Palace. I rushed outside and called for the Imperial Guards and the palace servants, but they couldn't hear me or see me. So I ran back to the Cold Palace and saw you lying on the bed without moving at all. My heart was pounding with fear. I was so scared that you would have a difficult labor and that you would lose your life while giving birth to our child. Just when I was panicking and at a loss, Mu Lingchen woke me up and said I was dreaming.
Was that a dream? But the dream felt so real, so real that my heart trembles uncontrollably whenever I recall those images. Ignoring his attempts to stop me, I frantically tried to rush back to Kyoto. I needed to confirm that you were still safe and sound, to confirm that it was just a nightmare I had! But I hadn't gone far when I received a letter from my mother.
The moment I learned that you and your child were safe, I read that letter over and over again, making sure I knew exactly what it said. Only then did my heart finally settle down. At that moment, my entire back was soaked with sweat. Heaven knows that the nightmare combined with the sudden good news almost drove me crazy with the extreme highs and lows.
Ning'er, I'm so excited right now that I don't know what to say to you. All those words of comfort and concern seem so pale in the face of your extreme pain! Heaven knows how much I want to fly to your side right now. I have so much to say to you. I want to hug you, kiss you, and tell you in person how much you've suffered.
Ning'er, you've worked so hard! I miss you so much! And Mother, and the baby. I wonder if our child looks more like you or me. I hope he looks like you! You take good care of yourself in Xiliang after giving birth. I will finish my business in Dongchu as soon as possible and personally go to Xiliang to bring you all back. Wait for me..."
After reading the letter, Su Xuening found herself in tears. It was as if these words were not written on paper, but whispered in his ear as he held her close.
He said he missed her, and she missed him too!
She missed him terribly, especially when she was alone with Xiaobao. Whenever she saw Xiaobao's face, which looked exactly like his, it was as if she were seeing him!
He hoped that Xiao Bao would look like her, but Xiao Bao turned out to look like him.
I wonder how he will react when he sees Xiao Bao, who looks exactly like him.
As if she had thought of something amusing, Su Xuening instantly burst into laughter through her tears.
Su Xuening looked at the letter again, and when she saw the dream described in it, she couldn't help but frown.
Unexpectedly, Xuan Yuanzhan dreamed that she had a difficult childbirth in the Cold Palace. His dream was not wrong. She did have a difficult childbirth in the Cold Palace in her previous life. Because she was all alone in the Cold Palace, it was her first time giving birth. There was no midwife or anyone to take care of her. She did have a difficult childbirth. She used a lot of strength and suffered a lot. In the end, she gave birth to Xiao Bao by herself with all her might.
What was the meaning behind Xuanyuan Zhan's dream? Did he dream about his past life?
Unfortunately, he was woken up by his cousin in the end and did not see her give birth to the baby smoothly, nor did he see the baby being taken away by Su Feiling. If he could even dream of Su Feiling, then he could be sure that he was dreaming about his past life.
But that's probably unlikely. He wasn't reborn, so why would he dream about his past life for no reason?
Perhaps it was because he had been thinking about her during the day, worried about her situation in Kyoto, that he dreamed about her at night!
But the fact that he could dream of her giving birth in the cold palace is really a bit mystical!
When they meet again, she wants to ask him about that dream.
Su Xuening carefully read Xuan Yuanzhan's letter again before cautiously putting it away. Then she glanced down at the sleeping baby beside her, looking at his face that was exactly like Xuan Yuanzhan's, and couldn't help but steal a kiss on his little face.
If you can't kiss the older one, then kiss the younger one first to ease the pain of longing.
Because of Xuan Yuanzhan's letter, Su Xuening slept soundly with Xiaobao in her arms.
However, Duanmu Junyu next door slept particularly restlessly that night.
In her dream, Duanmu Junyu saw herself in her youth, dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe, sitting upright in the court, arguing with the ministers.
Twenty years ago, Eastern Chu and Western Liang went to war over border territorial issues. At that time, although she had been on the throne for eight years, she was only eighteen years old. Young and impetuous, she refused to yield an inch on the territorial issue and insisted on going to war with Eastern Chu. Her ministers advised her that the two countries should prioritize peace and try to negotiate first. If negotiations failed, then they could consider going to war.
However, she felt that territorial issues were inviolable and that Eastern Chu was going too far. She had no intention of negotiating with them and only wanted to resolve the issue by force.
She not only advocated for war, but also wanted to personally lead troops to the battlefield. When the courtiers heard her ideas, they tried to persuade her again with earnest words, but she had already made up her mind, and no amount of persuasion could change her mind.
She personally led her troops to the battlefield, bringing 300,000 soldiers to fight a major battle against Eastern Chu at Tianlang Mountain.
In the dream, she was dressed in golden armor, with a golden mask on her face, riding a black warhorse and holding a red-tasseled spear, while opposite her was Su Renzhong, dressed in black armor.
She was deeply impressed when she first saw Su Renzhong, not only because of his handsome face, but also because of his tall stature.
There are many handsome men in Xiliang, but there are also quite a few tall men, not to mention men as tall as Su Renzhong, who are nine feet tall.
However, at that time she was not afraid of Su Renzhong; on the contrary, she had a sense of curiosity.
Because of Su Renzhong's height, she even had an urge to drag him back to Xiliang!
So, in their first battle, she faced off against Su Renzhong.
She originally thought the other person was just tall and strong, but she didn't expect that his martial arts skills were also very good!
The men of Xiliang do not practice martial arts, but this man in front of her seems to have piqued her interest again.
However, although Su Renzhong's martial arts skills were not weak, she was not at a disadvantage either.
Although she ascended the throne at the age of ten, she had not missed any of the things she was supposed to learn, and she had studied and cultivated her martial arts diligently. Naturally, she could not be defeated in front of this man.
