"No need, let's go. Let these collections stay in this underground palace. It is already a great honor for me to see them."
"Your Majesty, I will convey your words to His Majesty." Qin Sishou looked at her approvingly.
After leading her out, Mi Shan thanked him for his hard work.
"It is my pleasure to serve Your Majesty."
He bowed deeply.
Mi Shan smiled slightly and left wearily.
When I went outside to take a look, I realized it was already getting late.
As the sun began to set, the thin clouds were tinged with a faint golden hue.
Mi Shan frowned and urged the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to quicken their pace.
The maidservants followed him, chatting idly.
"Your Majesty, have you seen the treasure vault? Isn't it beautiful?"
Mi Shan had no intention of agreeing; she only wanted to return to the palace to see if Mi Xiuyan and the other person had come back.
But the palace was deserted and empty, with no sign of anyone coming.
"They haven't come back yet?" Mi Shan asked Xiao Mingzi.
"Your Majesty, not yet."
"So much time has passed. Mi Xiuyan and the Empress have never had any interaction. What could they possibly be talking about that would take so long?"
Mi Shan frowned and whispered.
She had assumed that the Empress summoned Mi Xiuyan to ask him a question or give him a warning.
After all, if you don't like her, her parents will also be targeted; that's standard practice.
But it's been so long...
Mi Shan began to realize that something was amiss.
"Should I ask the young man what they're talking about? But it's getting late, they're probably still busy serving right now."
"No rush. As long as you have a way to find out, I can wait a little longer."
Just then,
Footsteps came from outside the door.
Mi Shan thought it was Mi Xiuyan and his wife who had returned, but to her surprise, it was Bai Lingyu who came.
Why are you here?
"Can't I come? Do I need to pick a time to visit my sisters?" Bai Lingyu casually found a seat and sat down, acting as if she were already familiar with them.
Mi Shanxin was exhausted: "I don't have time to talk to you right now. If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, go back."
"Mi Shan, you are the first person in the harem to dare to drive me away. If it weren't for the fact that you saved my life several times..."
"What?" Mi Shan raised an eyebrow. "Are you planning to repay kindness with enmity again?"
"How could that be?" Bai Lingyu smiled, walked to her side, and coquettishly took her arm. "You are my good sister. I have already decided on you. You are good to me, and I will be good to you too. From now on, we will stick together and keep warm in this cold harem."
"You really don't know, this place is not for humans, even demons can't stay here."
Bai Lingyu looked around to make sure no one was there, then grabbed her arm and started shaking it.
Mi Shan: "...I think you're really quite boring."
"No, they came to see you because they have important business to discuss."
Tell me about it.
"Actually, not long ago, I did something bad to you."
Bai Lingyu felt guilty, and while speaking, she stole a glance at her.
Mi Shan remained silent, wanting to see what she was up to. "But now I've repented, and I've decided to make up for my past mistakes by showing you these two dreams."
"What is that?" Mi Shan was taken aback.
A dream? And it's still viewable?
“This is what I stole from you before. We foxes have the ability to infiltrate and access dreams, but we cannot change the course of your human dreams.”
"However, this ability is not unique to our fox clan, so you don't need to be so surprised. Are you prepared?"
Mi Shan has not yet responded.
Bai Lingyu suddenly straightened her shoulders, extended her slender fingers, and gently touched the center of Mi Shan's forehead.
The two stood by the window, where the flowers were in full bloom. A breeze blew, carrying their fragrance as they swayed gracefully.
At sunset.
The girl opened her clear eyes in astonishment, her fair and serene face paling slightly.
Looking at the woman in front of him with her white hair almost reaching the ground, he seemed slightly dazed for a moment. He was still standing, but his eyes seemed to be unfocused.
In the unfocused pupils,
It reflects scenes from my dream.
The mountains and fields were covered in red maple leaves.
A girl swaying on the swing set, her clear, melodious laughter ringing out.
The boy behind her reached out and affectionately patted her head.
Finally, I carried her down the mountain.
"Xie Ling? Xie Ling?"
"who is he?"
"And who is that little girl?"
Why did I have this dream?
"You don't know?" Bai Lingyu was taken aback, then raised her hand and waved it in front of her. "Wake up."
Mi Shan gradually regained consciousness and looked at her in confusion: "Why are you showing me this? What does this have to do with me?"
"Mi Shan, are you out of your mind? This is a dream you had. You can't even recognize your own dream? That little girl, isn't that you?"
"Should she be me? I don't recall ever being in a forest of red maple trees like that. Besides, I don't know anyone named Xie Ling."
At this point, Mi Shan murmured the name twice.
It felt strangely familiar, but...
She had absolutely no recollection of the two children in her dream.
“Dreams are all sorts of strange things, they might not necessarily have anything to do with me. Besides, the boy and girl in the dream looked to be five or six years old. I’ve always had a good memory, and I remember the life I had with my mother when we were just over a year old, fleeing and running around.”
"My mother says I have a good memory and that I'm exceptionally gifted."
"But this part is completely absent from my memories of when I was five or six years old."
Mi Shan nodded firmly at this point, "This is definitely not my memory."
"Are you kidding me? Do you know how surprised I was when I saw this dream? And now you're telling me you have nothing to do with it?"
Bai Lingyu clicked her tongue, then grabbed her shoulders.
"Think about it carefully again, you'll definitely remember!"
"Why are you so agitated?" Mi Shan pulled her hands away and looked at her with a slight frown.
“I… I’m definitely excited! Do you know who this man named Xie Ling is?” Bai Lingyu said.
