"After Brother Heng abdicated, he was given the title of 'King of Qiong' and went to Mian Song Mountain to recuperate..." Duan Sheng paused, and I heard a pair of women walking into the clinic with their companions. The sorrowful suona music resounding through the sky outside couldn't drown out their whispered discussions.
"Oh! What a pity, King!"
"That's right! Oh, I never thought there would be romantic people in the deep palace!"
"Really? When I first heard my maid come out of the palace and tell me about this, I felt so sorry!"
"I just heard some rumors, can you tell me more details?"
"It's Prince Yu. Wasn't he the emperor before? On the day the Hua family rebelled, I heard that the Hua family's daughter rushed into the palace of the emperor's favorite concubine and set it on fire, perishing together with the concubine!"
"ah!"
"And then, you know what? The emperor rushed into the fire in front of everyone to save his favorite concubine! Later, I heard that she came down with a cough... Oh, I didn't expect she would pass away today..."
"Hey, people really disappear just like that..."
I felt my entire body go cold, my blood freezing at that moment. I turned and ran to the woman, practically hysterical: "What did you say?! What did you say?! The person outside is King Yu!? He's dead!?"
"Hey, what are you doing?" The woman was obviously frightened by me: "Is that so, you..."
I rushed out the door like a madman, but on the way out I tripped over the threshold and fell hard to the ground.

Someone came forward to help me, but I pushed him away and fell to the ground crying at the top of my lungs.
"Why……"
“Why am I so self-righteous…”
"Why!?"
I just felt sick all over, my stomach was churning and I was about to vomit.
Princess Ru Shuang ran out to help me, but I pushed her away with red eyes: "It's my fault, it's all my fault..."
"Sister Mu, you..."
"I thought he liked you! I thought you were together! It's all my fault! Why!!"
"Do you like my brother Heng..." Ru Shuang looked at me blankly.
"Yes! I like him!" I said, my voice almost hoarse, like a child thrown to the ground. "I like him! I like him so much! The only one I like from the beginning to the end is him, Song Heng!"
"It's just Song Heng..."
I lowered my head and stared at the gray ground with dull eyes. I felt like I was going to pass out in the next second amidst the paper money and suona music.
Suddenly, someone gently embraced my body, and a familiar scent of ambergris entered my nose.
My whole body froze.
I just felt a burst of hot breath hitting my ears, and my back was pressed tightly against someone's warm chest.
Then came that familiar and hoarse voice——
