Chapter 333 The Goddess Enters the Dream
Chiu Chiu sat on the bed with messy, bird's-egg-like hair. Her eyes were glazed over, and it took her a long time to come to her senses.
"mother?"
She nudged the woman lying quietly on the bed, playfully pinched her nose with her hand, and then shrugged it into a little pig nose. "Hehe, Mom!"
But there is still no response...
After two attempts, Qiuqiu realized something was wrong. She pushed Yun Jinglan's body forcefully and cried out anxiously in her little voice, "Mother? Mother!"
The whimpering, tearful voice finally alerted the servants waiting outside.
Chunxiang pushed open the door and came in carrying a basin. At first glance, she saw that Qiuqiu was crying with tears and snot streaming down her face, looking even worse than yesterday.
Seeing Chunxiang, Qiuqiu seemed to have found her pillar of support, her eyes brimming with tears: "Auntie, Mother, she's not awake."
Not awake?
Chunxiang's hand trembled, and the copper basin fell to the ground. "What happened?" Chunxiang called out a few times, but Yun Jinglan did not react at all.
Seeing this, Chunxiang dared not delay and immediately called for someone to find a doctor.
The Su family Confucian scholar, who was supposed to attend court, asked for leave and stayed at home. They had no time to pay attention to any rumors or gossip circulating in the court.
Both Physician Wang and Wang Xinyu came, but neither the grandmother nor the granddaughter could see anything wrong with her.
"Madam's pulse is steady, and she has no illness. She has been taking good care of herself these past two years, and is even stronger than usual. As for her coma..." Physician Wang shook his head, "I think Madam is more likely to be asleep."
"Asleep?"
Su Junyao didn't believe it: "If you fall asleep, you'll always wake up. How can you not react at all?"
Wang Xinyu stopped Su Junyao, who was excitedly trying to pull away from Physician Wang, and coldly looked at this man who seemed to be on the verge of going crazy at any moment. "Aunt Yun is not acting strangely, nor is she suffering from any Gu poison. Is it due to fatigue today, or perhaps from some kind of shock?"
Just as she was being comforted, Qiuqiu's eyes reddened again. She opened her mouth to cry, but Su Yunyi quickly covered her mouth and whispered to comfort her, "It has nothing to do with Qiuqiu. Mommy loves Qiuqiu the most and won't be angry with her."
Chirp pounded her chest in anger, 【It's all Chirp's fault! Chirp is bad!】
“Chirp chirp, it’s not chirp’s fault.”
Chiu Chiu was consumed by self-blame and looked completely dejected. All she could think about was how to save her mother.
She finally understands what it means to be a useless guide for warriors. When the elders taught them the rules of survival, she only remembered how to find fish food and completely forgot about saving lives.
[I'd be willing to let Qiuqiu study for the rest of her life just if Mother could wake up!]
Su Yunyi: "..."
Chen He hurried in. "My lord, Yan Jiamu is outside. He says he has a way to save the lady."
Yan Jiamu's current position is awkward, meaning that Emperor Jingming doesn't have time to deal with him yet. So as long as he hides well in the Wenyang Marquis's residence, he will be safe for the time being.
He's very sensible and never goes out much, so his appearance today is quite surprising. But there's no time to worry about that now.
Su Junyao: "Let him in quickly! Chen He, tell him that as long as he can save Madam, I'll guarantee his life!"
Yan Jiamu hurried in, glanced at Qiuqiu, and then bowed to Su Junyao, "Lord Marquis."
Su Junyao reached out and helped him up. "No need for formalities. You say you can save my wife? How? What exactly happened to my wife?"
Yan Jiamu, with his long, silvery-white hair draped over his shoulders, looked tense. Instead of answering Su Junyao's question, he asked Su Junyao in return, "Is Madam merely unconscious and showing no other unusual symptoms?"
Su Junyao glanced at the woman sleeping peacefully on the bed and nodded silently.
Yan Jiamu: "May I speak with the Marquis alone?"
Su Junyao was already annoyed, and Yan Jiamu was still not getting to the point. He became impatient and waved for everyone to leave.
After everyone left, he patiently asked Yan Jiamu, "Can I speak now?"
Yan Jiamu: "Madam is just having a nightmare. My mother was like that back then. They thought she was dead."
Su Junyao was taken aback, never expecting that the news of the princess's death back then would have spread in this way.
Naga Canglan died an ignominious death. After the current Khan ascended the throne, Princess Fufeng was humiliated and committed suicide. After sleeping for seven days, she was thrown into the desert to be fed to wolves by the order of the Queyu clan.
Surprisingly, surrounded by wolves but with no one to share the food, the man who had been "dead" for fifteen days came back to life.
Princess Fufeng was no more, and the Turkic royal court gained another slave to be bullied by everyone.
Yan Jiamu is proof of her shame, but when she is lucid, she will show some maternal love and talk to Yan Jiamu about her past.
Among them are her memories of when she was asleep in the desert.
“She said she didn’t die, but met the goddess Aga in her dream. She had a nightmare in which everything came true, but if she could find the divine carp, she could change everything. She promised the goddess to help her find the divine carp. She knew she could not return to the Great Zhou, so she hoped I could find the divine carp for her.”
Upon mentioning the divine carp, Su Junyao immediately thought of Qiuqiu. Was Qiuqiu the one who untangled the knot?
Just as he was about to go out and bring Qiuqiu in, he heard Yan Jiamu say, "There is a mysterious red koi in the moat of the capital. Why don't you give it a try, Lord Marquis?"
Su Junyao was no stranger to the red koi in the river. His father and Qiuqiu often went there to catch that koi, which was said to be very intelligent, unlike ordinary fish. In addition, Gu Qinghuai once said that when he was ambushed, the koi in the pond saved him.
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became, so he led his men to the moat to catch koi carp.
After everyone left, Yan Jiamu brought Qiuqiu in, saying, "You stay here and keep watch."
Chirp: "Can it be saved?"
Yan Jiamu bent down and stared at Qiuqiu, his eyes filled with a rare tenderness: "Yes, Madam is a good person, she will definitely be safe and sound."
What Yan Jiamu didn't mention was that the goddess his mother spoke of had mentioned "Chiu Chiu," but that was thirteen years ago, and Chiu Chiu was less than two years old at the time...
The matter was too bizarre for him to speak of. He was already considered an oddity because of his naturally white hair, and he didn't want Qiuqiu to become an oddity as well.
The goddess's child only needs to protect those she wants to protect.
For some reason, Qiuqiu trusted Yan Jiamu a lot; his affability felt strangely familiar to her. After listening to Yan Jiamu's words, Qiuqiu sat cross-legged beside Yun Jinglan, quietly watching over her.
Yun Jinglan's mind was clear, but her body was beyond her control. She seemed to have entered another world, watching another version of herself experience a lifetime of misery.
Another version of herself experienced the exact same thing as what Chiu Chiu had in her heart!
She watched as her loved ones died one by one before her eyes, and as the Great Zhou Dynasty fell completely into the hands of the Turks, plunging the world into chaos and causing immense suffering to the people.
But there was no child named Chuchu in that world...
"Yun Jinglan, have you truly seen your original destiny?"
The sudden sound startled Yun Jinglan. She looked around but didn't see anyone. "Who are you? Where are you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a strangely dressed woman appeared in front of her. "You've been looking for me."
"Who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am. I entered your dream just to tell you the truth."
“Chiu Chiu has come for you, Yun Jinglan. Now your entire family’s fate will be completely changed. At that time, I will take her away.”
Yun Jinglan panicked, "Where are you taking my daughter?"
What terrified her was that this woman gave her the feeling that she could take Qiuqiu away at any time!
"This is not something you should know. Now, it's time for you to wake up."
We'll have to part ways sooner or later, so why bother knowing so much?
