"Has Leng Ning not come out yet?"
"No," Jiao'er shook her head.
A vague sense of unease crept into my heart. Could Leng Ning have left? With Feng Su?
But I've never heard of Feng Su and Leng Ning being together.
I pressed a special mechanism inside the room, and Qingyuan's servants quickly entered the room.
"Gentlemen, is there anything I can do for you?"
"I'd like to ask someone, why hasn't Leng Ning made an appearance yet?"
The waiter looked up at me. "It's a rule of Qingyuan that this must not be revealed to outsiders."
"I know, but I want to see Leng Ning." With that, I placed the Abyss's unique card on the table.
This card was given to me by You. No matter where I go, showing this card will let people know that I am not simple, and the value inside is immeasurable.
The waiter glanced at the card on the table, a slight look of surprise on his face, but he still firmly refused me, "This is Qingyuan's rule, esteemed guest, I cannot say."
"OK."
I looked into the waiter's eyes, then looked away. Oh well, since it's Qingyuan's rule, I won't break it. I guess I really am not destined to be with Feng Su.
"Jiao'er, shall we go?"
"Let's go, I've seen enough."
After leaving Qingyuan, Jiao'er and I strolled around the streets, chatting casually.
"Jiao'er, when you go back this time, you must mention this matter to Yuejiao."
"good."
"Don't just agree. Do you remember what I said before?"
"Of course I remember! How could I forget something so important to me?!"
"That's good. After you and Yuejiao have discussed it, remember to come to the palace to see me."
"Okay." Jiao'er nodded.
After I finished telling Jiao'er about this, I said goodbye to her, and she went home.
I stood in Sun and Moon City, truly not knowing where to go. You told me to go find Jiao'er and Hao to play first, and that he would come back to find me after he finished his work, but I never saw You.
Should I go back to the palace or go check on Hao in the miasma first?
I wandered around Sun and Moon City alone for ages, and I never imagined that I was actually a little afraid to see Hao.
Ever since I lost my child, Hao has been acting a little strange towards me.
Perhaps Hao felt guilty towards me, always thinking that if he and Feng Su hadn't let me go out that day, maybe my child wouldn't have been lost.
At first, I genuinely didn't blame Hao, but Hao always seemed very awkward around me, which reminded me of my child whenever I saw him.
After so long, I couldn't help but feel uneasy, so I became a little afraid to see Hao.
Sigh, forget it, I'll just go back to the palace. I'll just stay in my own palace and lie down to sleep, that'll be fine too.
I don't dare to go to You, mainly because You is probably with Lan Qi now. If I meet Lan Qi, I don't know what Lan Qi will think, but I will definitely feel very awkward, and You won't be happy either.
Therefore, I will definitely not bother You; I will just wait patiently for You to come to me.
With that in mind, I went back to the palace first. My phone was out of battery; if it had been charged, I could have played on it.
I was alone in the empty room, and soon fell asleep.
I took a nap and woke up again, but You still hadn't come to find me. Why did You and Lan Qi take so long?!
I really can't stand being alone anymore. Logically speaking, I'm with You every day, and it's rare for me to have a period of time where I can be away from You. I should be happy and carefree, but instead, I'm so bored.
I strolled out of the palace and randomly asked a palace servant, "Do you know where You is now?"
"The Sun and Moon Lord is discussing matters with the Emperor of Fengdu in the main hall."
"Still talking?!" Good heavens, how long have You and Lan Qi been talking?! Do they have that much to say?!
"Um."
"Go to the main hall and pass on a message for me, but tell it quietly so that the Emperor of Fengdu won't hear it."
"good."
"Ask You when he's coming back. I miss him." I said the last sentence with a little shyness.
The palace servant remained unfazed and said, "Alright."
"I remember, quietly." I quickly reminded the palace maid again, and watching her departing figure, I hurriedly called out to her, "Wait, wait."
"Madam, what's wrong?" the palace maid hurriedly turned back to ask.
"You should wait a bit." I left the palace servants behind and then searched for paper and pen in the palace.
After finding paper and pen, I wrote down my message to You, stroke by stroke. It was only four words: I miss you.
After I finished writing, I folded the paper and handed it to the palace maid, saying, "You can give this to You."
"Yes, Madam." The palace servant accepted the gift and left.
I walked around the hall several times by myself. It was so boring being alone in this empty room.
After wandering around for a while, I decided to go back to bed and sleep.
I had just fallen asleep when I was shaken awake. When I opened my eyes, I saw it was the palace servant I had just instructed.
"What's wrong?"
"Reporting to Lady Jun, Lord Riyue sent me to tell you to wait for him and that you will not have to wait long."
"What did You tell you?" I sat up abruptly and asked the palace servants to tell me everything that had just happened.
“After I handed the letter to Riyue-kun, he opened it and read it. After reading it, he spoke directly to me.”
"So, is he talking to Lan Qi?"
"Yes." The palace servant nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
After the palace servants left, I lay down and fell asleep again.
This time, I dreamed of that stunningly beautiful woman again.
However, there was another person with the woman now, and not only that, the woman's expression was also different from last time.
Last time, the woman was like a giant, soulless sculpture—beautiful, yes, but lifeless.
But this time, the woman seemed to come alive, lifelike. The people around her even resembled Liu Lieyu in some ways, looking like the young Liu Lieyu, without the gloom and cruelty of today, but with more sunshine and domineering presence.
Could this be Nv Xin and Liu Lieyu? Why would I dream about the two of them?
I know this is a dream, but I have no control over it and can only watch helplessly as things unfold.
I watched the two of them cultivating together in a cave, along with the even younger and more handsome You. You would occasionally come to visit them and then leave again.
I could see the undisguised admiration for Nv Xin on You's face.
I forced myself to wake up from my dream. I had no interest in the past lives of the three of them, so why did I dream about this?
I remembered that I had dreamt about Nvxin once before. I tried to struggle to wake up from the dream, but the scene became more and more vivid in my mind.
I watched helplessly as Liu Lieyu forced himself on Nv Xin, I watched helplessly as the light in Nv Xin's eyes faded, I watched them turn against each other, and I watched an exceptionally bloody battle unfold.
How could this be? A growing sense of panic crept into my heart. No way...
