She has fulfilled her long-cherished wish and is now about to leave.
Ah Lin's deep green pupils reflected Gong Ning's haggard and pale face, and his little brows furrowed with heartache.
Then, the little jade-like figure twirled in the air and said, "Your Highness, A-Lin is going to check the sea. Don't worry too much!"
Gong Ning nodded quickly, "Okay!"
Yan Jingzhou, standing to the side, watched as Gong Ning nodded obediently at an invisible mass of air, then pursed his lips and remained silent for a few moments.
His handsome, refined brows furrowed, and he suddenly reached out and touched the girl's forehead; she didn't have a fever.
On the contrary, the temperature was frighteningly cold.
The man's eyes darkened. "Let's go back to the car. You'll get sick if you keep blowing this!"
No sooner had Yan Jingzhou finished speaking than A-Lin, who had flown away, reappeared in front of Gong Ning. "Your Highness, please go back. A-Lin is here!"
Seeing the little green creature pouting and staring at her intently, as if it wouldn't move until she returned, and noticing the undisguised worry in the man's eyes beside her.
Gong Ning pursed her lips, suppressing the warmth that was about to well up in her eyes, and obediently turned to go to the car.
...
A-Lin found Luo Shuang's body in the dark seabed; her face was deathly pale.
It circled around her, its gaze lingering for a moment on her closed eyes with a complex expression, before suddenly flapping its limbs and standing on her forehead, taking away the last bit of Gong Shangyue's memories.
Then, in just a few moments, it flew out of the water.
Shaking its head and stretching its limbs to shake off the water, it suddenly flew to the cliff.
It rolled its eyes a few times, prepared its speech, thought carefully about how to phrase it, and flew to Gong Ning, just about to speak.
Then they heard someone shout from not far away, "Found it! Found it!"
Gong Ning jumped up abruptly, opened the car door and got out. Just as she ran over, she saw Luo Shuang lying on the stretcher with a pale, ashen face. Her face was covered in cold seawater, which gradually stiffened under the biting sea breeze.
Gong Ning had never seen anyone's lips so pale and lifeless. She stood there, stunned, her eyes dark and frightening.
Although A-Lin was very tired at this moment, he really wanted to sleep well in His Highness's palm.
Seeing Gong Ning's suddenly silent expression, he flew to her side with a worried look on his face, "Your Highness, you..."
"Ah Lin, this time, Chang'er is really gone, never to return. It's my fault, I lost her..."
"Your Highness, the Second Princess is not dead. She has simply returned to the Gu You Dynasty. Look, these are her memories. She is not dead!"
Gong Ning looked at the scene before her eyes, which showed her and Chang'er's time together in the Gu You Dynasty.
Suddenly, her nose stung with tears. "She didn't die? She just went back?"
"right!"
Ah Lin nodded solemnly, but gradually, the originally dazzling light around him dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A-Lin's heart skipped a beat. "Your Highness, don't worry, the Second Princess is fine, and I've cured Grandpa Ling's illness. He'll regain his memory soon. I've been flying for so long, I'm a little tired, I want to sleep~"
Gong Ning snapped back to reality and noticed the dim light surrounding A Lin. She immediately reached out her hand, her eyes filled with apology, "I'm sorry, A Lin, go to sleep. I'm not worried anymore. Get some rest!"
"Hmm~~"
Life is unpredictable, and fate can be cruel.
A divine jade that has recognized its master will suffer a backlash for deceiving its master, and each time it suffers a backlash, the lifespan of the jade spirit will be reduced.
But for the simple-minded A-Lin, as long as it makes its prince a little happier, even a small, insignificant lie is enough for it to risk the destruction of the Jade Spirit without hesitation.
It didn't know if keeping this from its master was right or wrong, it just wanted to give His Highness hope so that he wouldn't be completely disappointed.
Ah Lin only understood one thing: at this moment, Gong Ning could no longer bear any more separations of life and death.
There are many fools in the world, but even more are fools who are willing to be fools.
A pure-hearted divine jade, when it suddenly becomes foolish, will even risk its life.
At this moment, A-Lin was unaware of how tragic words like "separation in life and death" might be.
One day, Gong Ning will also grow up to be able to calmly face these things.
Face death directly, face the ever-changing world.
Ah Lin, with his simple mind, didn't understand, and neither did Gong Ning at this moment!
The night was exceptionally dark tonight; apart from the surrounding night vision lights, the sky was so dark that not a single star could be seen.
Gong Ning looked up at the gradually blurring image in the night, the last fragment of memory left by Chang'er...
It turns out that the real Luo Shuang committed suicide while in prison, and after waking up again, she became Gong Shangyue, who had traveled through time.
Chang'er came back, then went back again.
Gong Ning choked up, wondering if, had she been more perceptive and noticed the mercenary, Shang'er might still have had a chance to stay.
She missed Chang'er terribly and wanted to make up for everything she had missed in the past, to be a dutiful eldest princess...
It was destined to become a regret...
But no matter what, Chang'er is still alive...
It's okay, as long as you're alive, there might still be a chance...
Gong Ning exhaled and suddenly turned around, only to see Shen Yuchen standing not far away.
His gaze faltered slightly, then he lowered his eyes.
When I first learned that Luo Shuang was Chang'er, I even wondered when Luo Shuang had become Chang'er, until I realized that it might have been before she met Shen Yuchen.
For a moment, she regretted it, regretting why she had treated Luo Shuang that way before. What if that was Chang'er?
But after seeing the memories that Ah Lin showed her in the night sky, images belonging to Chang'er...
