Meng Qi asked in surprise, "Have you seen it, Your Majesty?"
Song Chengze sensed his own loss of composure. How could it be possible? How had Meng Qi ever seen the small statue that his mother treasured? Even he had only learned about it last year. How could she have known about it? Could it be a dream? Was it fate that arranged for him to marry her?
Song Chengze looked at Meng Qi, without a trace of emotion in his eyes. He just looked at her like that, as if he could see through her.
Meng Qilue clutched the quilt anxiously, "Prince, you, you..."
"What did you dream about?"
Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he believed her, even if not completely. But he was not like last time, when he turned pale and said she was talking nonsense as soon as she said something.
"Two years later, the prince won the world."
Song Chengze breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. The crown prince was the legitimate heir, and it was popular among the people that he sat on that position. No matter how much trouble the other royal brothers made, they could not surpass the crown prince.
"A few years later, you took that position."
Song Chengze opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"I don't know why, but my memory was blank during that time in the dream. When I looked back, you were already sitting in that seat."
"Impossible." Song Chengze said firmly.
"It's true. It seems like you were forced into it. The new emperor, the crown prince, doesn't trust you as much as before and has done several things you can't tolerate. But I didn't describe the specifics of how you did it in my dream."
Song Chengze sat there blankly. The two of them were wearing bright red pajamas, sitting on bright red wedding quilts, and were enveloped by bright red bed curtains, which gave off a weird feeling.
The air instantly froze, and only the breathing of the two people could be heard. Outside, the sound of the night watch, one slow and three fast, came. It was already the hour of the rat.
After a long while, Song Chengze finally asked, "Who knows about your dream?"
"No one knows. I haven't told anyone because it was too real, too horrifying. It was also because of this dream that I carefully considered what to do after marrying you, and it's why I said those words to you in Qionghua Palace that day, which you might think were disrespectful."
Song Chengze walked around Meng Qi, lifted the bed curtain and got off the bed. Meng Qi heard the sound of him drinking water and it took him a long time to return to the kang.
She turned her head and saw Song Chengze holding a cup of tea and handing it to her, "Moisten it."
Meng Qi's eyes suddenly became moist. Song Chengze was definitely a qualified husband. Even if they had no feelings for each other in their previous life and had caused so many troubles, he could still let her have a good ending.
In this life, her wishes are not high, and he will definitely help her realize them.
The two of them lay down again, and for a moment the tent had a kind of quiet beauty.
"Do you think the dream is your past life?"
Meng Qi hummed, "That should be the case, because what I did there is something only I can do."
Song Chengze heard the helplessness in Meng Qi's words, "Is it because of that dream that you said those things to me that day?"
"Yes, I was so stupid in my dream. For someone who was nothing and unworthy, I hurt my loved ones. I cannot forgive myself. I am grateful to the immortal for enlightening me. If what she showed me was really my past life, then I will never do that again in this life."
"Did the immortal tell you all this?"
After hearing this, Meng Qi knew that Song Chengze at least believed in her a little bit.
"She didn't tell me, she guided me to see it. I was like an outsider, piecing together the pieces one by one. It was fragmentary, but not difficult to understand. In the end, the immortal told me what she believed I would do."
Meng Qi turned her head to look at Song Chengze. "After she said that, I never had that dream again, and my health started to improve. Then I heard that my third sister, the concubine's daughter of my second uncle, had been arranged to marry by my third uncle. My second sister analyzed the cause and effect with me, and every incident involved the shadow of the third house and the Hong family. At this point, if I didn't understand it anymore, that dream would have been in vain, and I would be sorry for the immortal's advice."
"what would you like?"
"Your Highness is actually skeptical about what I said, isn't he?"
"That was just a dream of yours, and as you said, the content was too horrifying. Do you think I would believe it just because of a few words from you?"
"Yes, Your Highness is right to worry. That's why I said that day in Qionghua Palace that I would show you. It has nothing to do with the truth of the dream. I just want you to know that I'm not a difficult potato that you have to take over. I can also help you, whether your target is the second one in my dream or not."
Song Chengze hummed and turned back to stare at the ceiling. After a long moment, he said quietly, "I know. On the wedding night of Prince Rui and Princess Rui, the princess called out Third Master Hong's name, and Prince Rui went to the west room in anger. What do you think?"
Meng Qi laughed heartily, "I understand. The prince still needs a 'strawberry' princess at this time."
