The white mist dissipated, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the truth, but the next moment Rong Sheng was dumbfounded, because she appeared in a luxurious palace. Gu Beiyi, whom she had been searching for, was lying on a crystal coffin, his handsome face was extremely dejected, his face was covered with tears, and even his nose was running!
Gu Beiyi is a very clean person. Although he is not obsessive about cleanliness, he always takes good care of himself and would never let himself get into such a mess.
But this Gu Beiyi caused Rong Sheng a dull ache in her heart, as if someone had grabbed her heart and squeezed it tightly, making it so painful that she couldn't breathe and wished she could die!
"Sheng Sheng, I want to be with you! Please let me be with you! I don't want to be emperor, and I don't want to protect the empire, because without you, this empire is meaningless! Sheng Sheng, why are you so heartless, leaving me all alone? Didn't you think about how I feel? Do you know how much pain the one who survives will suffer? Sheng Sheng... my Sheng Sheng..."
Gu Beiyi remained lying on the crystal coffin, looking painfully at the person inside. The decadent aura emanating from him and his resolute determination to die caused Rong Sheng's tears to stream down her face like a waterfall, unstoppable!
"Gu Beiyi, a real man sheds blood, not tears. Why are you crying? Besides, I'm right here, what are you doing facing a coffin? It's so unlucky!"
"Gu Beiyi, did you hear me?" Rong Sheng was puzzled when Gu Beiyi ignored her. She walked towards Gu Beiyi and stood opposite him. "Gu Beiyi? Gu Beiyi?"
He can't see me? Didn't the system say to let her enter Gu Beiyi's dream and have a good talk with him? Why is the scene she sees different from the scene she imagined?
Rong Sheng's brows were so furrowed they could trap a bunch of mosquitoes. She stretched out her fair little hand and waved it in front of Gu Beiyi's eyes, but Gu Beiyi didn't react at all. It seemed that Gu Beiyi really couldn't see her!
"Sheng Sheng... slow down on your journey to the underworld, wait for me! You said we would be together for all eternity! You can't leave me alone again. Sheng Sheng, you are such a considerate girl, you wouldn't want to make me even more heartbroken, right? So wait for me! You must wait for me! Once I've settled things in the empire, I'll come find you!"
Rong Sheng: "..." What does that mean?
Seeing that Gu Beiyi was staring at the crystal coffin, Rong Sheng also went closer. However, the next moment, Rong Sheng's eyes widened in shock, as if her eyeballs were about to pop out!
"How could this be? I died in Gu Beiyi's dream?" Rong Sheng was so shocked that she took a step back, her soul almost flying out of her body.
Because the person in the crystal coffin looked exactly like her, and remembering what Gu Beiyi had said, Rong Sheng instantly understood that the person in the crystal coffin was herself!
"Sheng Sheng... Sheng Sheng..." Gu Beiyi was still gently calling his own name, his slender fingers still reaching into the crystal coffin, gently stroking himself inside.
"System! Are you there?" Rong Sheng shouted, "Tell me quickly, what's going on? Why am I dead in Gu Beiyi's dream? Why am I lying in a crystal coffin? What happened in Gu Beiyi's dream? Tell me quickly!"
However, the system did not respond, as if it did not exist.
"System!" No matter how Rong Sheng called out, the system did not respond, making Rong Sheng more and more anxious and confused.
The next time I see Gu Beiyi, I must ask him why his dream was so tragic. How could she have died?
Just as Rong Sheng was feeling confused and frustrated, the scene suddenly changed.
On the edge of a sheer cliff, Rong Sheng saw a woman who looked exactly like herself surrounded by a group of men in black, unable to escape. Her body was covered in sharp wounds, and blood stained her clothes red, but her face showed a resolute expression, showing no fear of these men in black, as if they were just a bunch of clowns in her eyes.
"Gu Chen, it's come to this, what are you hiding for? Come out! Anyway, I, Rong Sheng, am about to die at your hands!" Rong Sheng shouted sharply when she saw the woman who looked exactly like her.
Immediately, the men in black made way, and a cold-looking man in a purple robe appeared in Rong Sheng's eyes. The man held a scarlet sword in his hand, and the blood on the sword was dripping onto the ground, staining it red.
"Rong Sheng! It's been a long time!"
"It's been a long time. I never expected that when we meet again, you would try to kill me! I used to consider you a good friend!" Rong Sheng sneered.
Gu Chen sneered: "That's because you're stupid! But who gave you the right to work for Gu Beiyi? If you had obediently married me as my concubine back then, would I have treated you so cruelly?"
"Marry you? Bah! Dream on! I, Rong Sheng, am Gu Beiyi's person in life and in death! What are you, Gu Chen, to dare to covet me? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?" Rong Sheng said disdainfully.
Gu Chen's face turned cold: "Since you refuse to listen to reason, then don't blame me for being ruthless! Kill her!"
'Rong Sheng' immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the man in black!
Rong Sheng was stunned by what she saw. She had no martial arts skills, so she could clearly see that this "Rong Sheng" was very clumsy when fighting the man in black. Before long, she was covered in wounds, and blood spurted everywhere. The painful groans were like drumbeats that pounded on Rong Sheng's heart.
The image of Gu Beiyi lying on the crystal coffin flashed through my mind. Could it be that the Gu Beiyi in my dream died at the hands of this Gu Chen?
Who is Gu Chen?
Gu?
Could it be related to Gu Beiyi?
They both have the surname Gu, so they might actually be related!
Before Rong Sheng could think any further, she saw 'Rong Sheng' lying in a pool of blood, barely alive.
"If you had listened to me earlier, you wouldn't have suffered like this!" Gu Chen said smugly.
Rong Sheng sneered: "Gu Chen, I'm about to die, can you answer my question?"
“Death? You are indeed about to die. In that case, I will give you a chance. Tell me, what do you want to know?” Gu Chen said.
Rong Sheng asked, "Who is behind you?"
"You know that person!" Gu Chen sneered, "Gu Beiyi is indeed very powerful. He started building his own power from a young age and even received help from his maternal clan, thus successfully blocking the path of us princes and grandsons! But Gu Beiyi never imagined that everything he did was just a stepping stone for others!"
"Gu Beiyi's maternal clan?" Rong Sheng stared at Gu Chen: "Wasn't Gu Beiyi's maternal clan already dealt with by the late emperor..."
