And those people who made people hate them and gnashed their teeth seemed to have become legends with their death and disappearance.
It happened less than a month ago, but so many of them are still suffering and facing death.
Why does it feel like it happened in my previous life?
They finally realized that it was because the glorious era of that generation had not completely passed with the ascension of the new Emperor Dajing. However, a new generation had indeed emerged.
Lan country.
Even though it is now one of the four major powers, it still lives a self-sufficient and almost closed-off life.
The neighboring countries outside Lan are currently in dire straits, but Lan is peaceful and tranquil with chickens chirping and birds singing.
Aunt Bai, Ling Duannian's biological mother, who was once arranged to live in a secret place in Dajing but whose freedom was actually restricted by Ling Duannian, has now been taken to Lan Country.
However, although she was taken to Lan Country, she still did not meet Ling Duannian. Ling Duannian directly arranged for her to stay in a mountain somewhere in Lan Country that was suitable for recuperation.
It is true that he is not that filial, and it is also true that he and Aunt Bai don't want to see each other again.
Ling Duannian once adopted the child Yuan'er, who was the one who was brought to Ling Sheng's birthday party and pretended to be Baili Feiyue's son.
He was also brought to Lan Country.
Ling Duannian gave him the name Ling Qingran.
He currently lives in the Lan Kingdom's palace, studying and practicing martial arts with Lan Kingdom's civil and military officials, and learning how to handle government affairs.
Ling Duannian did not live in the palace, but still lived in the ordinary courtyard where he and Baili Feiyue lived before.
At this moment, hearing the noise, Ling Duannian, who was walking out of the door, appeared in front of Baili Feiyue almost instantly.
Seeing Baili Feiyue's knees slightly bent due to hitting the corner of the table, the young man's heart ached, "Sister!"
Previously, she had suffered from a brief period of insomnia due to snow blindness in West Kunlun, but she knew at that time that it was only temporary and not a big deal.
So he even felt a little secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he could take care of her that way.
But now, she really couldn't see, and would never see again in her life, and he could only feel heartache.
He is in more pain than her!
"Where did everyone go?!"
Baili Feiyue smiled and said, "I was the one who told them not to follow me and to stay away from me so that I could be alone. My injuries have basically healed completely, and I can't lie in bed like a useless person all day."
"Besides, I've practiced in the past how to perceive everything around me in the dark without using my eyes, relying only on my other four senses."
She laughed at herself, "I was pretty good at that time. It's not like I haven't had to act in the dark before. It's just that I haven't used it for a long time or something. I'm actually getting worse. There's such an obvious table, and it's already been moved to the side, but I still bumped into it. I deserve it."
A hint of pain flashed in the boy's eyes, and he gently held her hand.
She forced herself to smile, "Sister, it's okay, just practice slowly. No matter how dark the place is, I will hold your hand. I will hold your hand and walk with you."
Baili Feiyue was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
"What's the matter, Xiaojiu? Are you afraid that I will hurt myself again?"
She said calmly, "No. I don't want these eyes. It's just that it doesn't make much difference whether I have them or not. I love myself very much, how could I bear to do this to myself."
After Ling Duannian put a robe on her and led her to sit under the grape trellis in the courtyard, she even took the initiative to speak, "The people you sent to Dajing to deliver gifts should have come back with news. How are the young master and the baby? Do you have any words for me?"
Ling Duannian shook his head, "No, there is no news yet."
"Ling Xiaojiu, you are lying."
She was a little happy, because even if the boy lied, it was flawless, but without these eyes, she became much sharper.
When she said that, the boy pursed his lips slightly, "Yes, I lied, sister. They send news back every day, and the latest news has been delivered today. I just left to read the news they sent back."
Baili Feiyue asked, "What did the news say? Why didn't you want to tell me?"
"Chang Sunqing has successfully ascended the throne and changed the reign title to Chengyuan. Empress Fengluan and King Xiyue are both present. Other countries and forces dare not act rashly, and the individual rebellious forces in Dajing do not dare to act recklessly."
Baili Feiyue hummed in silence, knowing that there was something else to come, and that something else should be the key.
"There's more."
The young man paused before saying, "Chang Sun Qing and Murong Jiu didn't say a word to you, sister."
Baili Feiyue was not very surprised.
She curled her lips in a mocking manner, "Changsun Wuji was right about one thing. He and I are the same people after all. We don't care that much about others, even our own children."
"Sister..." the boy called her.
Baili Feiyue shook her head and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I just suddenly realized it, and I'm just talking about the facts. I used to think that children were my biggest weakness and the existence I cared about most in this world. In fact, it's not true..."
She laughed even more sarcastically, "The one I love more, the one I love the most, has always been myself..."
Those two children were so sharp and smart, so after this dream, they understood it earlier than she did, and that’s why they didn’t say a word to her.
She laughed till tears came out.
If her eyes, bound with ribbons, could still shed tears.
"Sister!"
The boy seemed a little angry.
He was angry and hurt, "You are not like that at all! If you were like that, you wouldn't risk your life and be criticized and stabbed in the back by the whole world to try to save Murong Shuo!"
"If you were like this, you wouldn't have saved me, a sick ghost with obviously bad intentions and two feet on the verge of death, from the General's Mansion, where you had no good feelings in the first place! And you wouldn't have been unable to really hurt me after I made you angry time and time again!"
"Even for people like Ling Sheng and Dongfang Ye, you have never been truly cruel to them!"
"Not to mention Qian Yu Se and Dong Fang Qing!"
"As for children, sister, you obviously love children so much! You love other people's children so much, even those who have no blood relationship with you. How can you not care about your own children!"
"Sister, you were thrown into a mass grave outside the city and narrowly escaped death. What made you want to survive in such a hell? It was because of your child! You wanted your child to survive. You wanted to find a way for your child to live!"
"Later, you became Murong Shuo's apprentice. What force allowed you to endure the physical rehabilitation that was worse than death? What allowed you to learn skills that most people cannot learn in their entire lives in just two or three years? You were still a child!"
"Is it hatred towards the likes of Li's Ling Yanran?"
"No, it's the child! Your lost child! You want to find him, you want to find him quickly! Even if you wake up in the middle of the night, you still want to find the child quickly! You are worried that he is cold or hungry, you are worried that he will be hurt, you are worried about whether he is doing well..."
"Even though, even though it was Changsun Wuji, sister, you disliked him at first, but later, although you didn't dare to trust him, you liked him, and then... sister, you didn't do anything to feel sorry for him! He was wrong! He was so wrong!"
He spoke in a low voice, but with a lot of heartache, "Sister, you are not a fairy, not a god. None of us are. We all have our own limits, and we all have things we cannot do."
You are not an immortal or a god. There are always things you cannot predict, cannot do, and cannot control.
Who else did she seem to have said something similar to?
But the feelings she expressed at that time seemed completely different from what Xiaojiu told her.
"Sister," he looked at her, always looking at her silently for a long time, "Why do you blame yourself?"
