ending
Even though Shangguan Zeyu had prepared for the day when he learned that Jiang Yan was not Liu Ruyi and that Jiang Yan would one day leave him, he still couldn't accept it when it actually happened in front of him.
Jiang Yan left him just like that, forever and ever.
Shangguan Zeyu was heartbroken and cried until he had no more tears left. He still held "Jiang Yan" tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go even slightly, "Jiang Yan" would turn into a gust of wind.
Chen Run's wound has healed, and he is planning to visit Jiang Yan in the next few days. He originally intended to visit Jiang Yan the day after he was able to get out of bed, but his father and mother stopped him.
His father and mother were worried about his wounds and that he might anger Shangguan Zeyu again, thus bringing trouble upon himself.
Chen Run wasn't afraid of this outcome, but when he heard his father ask him sadly, "Don't your father and mother have a place in your heart?"
His mother, her eyes swollen from crying, asked him, "My child, if something were to happen to you again, how would your old mother bear it?" He couldn't bear to let them worry and grieve for him any longer, so he stayed.
Just as Chen Run was about to call his father and mother to visit Jiang Yan, Qingfeng ran in from outside with an unpleasant expression.
Although Chen Run had previously expelled Qingfeng from the mansion, his parents kept him and took him back to the Chen family ancestral home. It was thanks to Qingfeng that his parents were able to endure the days when Chen Run was under house arrest.
Chen Run was extremely grateful to Qingfeng, so he treated Qingfeng like his own younger brother.
"What's wrong, Qingfeng?" Chen Run hurriedly went up to ask.
Qingfeng felt extremely uncomfortable and awkward that Chen Run treated him like his own younger brother. So when Chen Run asked, he quickly lowered his eyes, unwilling to meet his gaze, and said, "The oriole from the Prince's Mansion came to deliver a letter, saying that the Princess Consort personally gave it to you." He handed him the letter he was holding in his right hand.
Upon hearing that it was a letter from Jiang Yan, Chen Run disregarded everything else, hurriedly took it, and quickly opened it to read.
Qingfeng glanced at him sadly and left.
When Chen Run first opened the letter, he was initially happy, but then he felt increasingly sad and sorrowful. He read the letter from beginning to end and then from end to beginning four times without missing a single word before finally stopping and looking into the distance with red eyes.
How could he not see through the clues?
He and Ruyi were of one mind; how could he not recognize her?
The summer wind, carrying dampness and stuffiness, made people feel increasingly uncomfortable and their eyes even more aching.
Xiao Yiqing suffered a severe shock at the restaurant that day. He was delirious, his eyes were vacant, and he kept calling out "Your Highness, Your Highness," "I love Your Highness, I love Your Highness," and other words related to Shangguan Zeyu. He couldn't say anything else.
The restaurant owner kindly sent her back to the Xiao residence. Although she was well taken care of with good food and drink every day, she would suddenly burst into tears, wailing like a child who had lost a beloved toy, and foolishly keep calling out "Your Highness, Your Highness".
The people in the manor sighed and did not make things difficult for her. But whether she suddenly understood or became increasingly depressed, she died on the day of the Autumn Equinox.
She was found by the maid who brought her breakfast on the morning of the Beginning of Autumn. She was already dead and looked like she had been in the water for a long time. So, everyone in the mansion said that she actually died the night before the Beginning of Autumn.
Some say she committed suicide, some say her father took her away out of pity, and others say she may have done too many bad things in the past and was murdered.
But whatever the reason, no one ever thought much of it; she always died so quietly.
Unable to accept Jiang Yan's sudden departure, Shangguan Zeyu took the "Jade Exquisite Ball" and went to find Liu Ruyi's father.
Perhaps one day he will find Liu Ruyi's biological father and learn the secret of the Jade Exquisite Ball's time travel from him. Or perhaps, although he finds Liu Ruyi's father, the Jade Exquisite Ball will no longer be able to travel through time. Or perhaps, he will never find Liu Ruyi's biological father in his lifetime.
