Ah Yin listened to the conversation between the master and servant. Although she couldn't understand it, she felt at ease.
In fact, since she came to Da Zhou, she hasn't had a single night of restful sleep, spending all her time thinking about opportunities.
Now she no longer had to think so much, and she could even get the antidote for her older sister and mother. Her heart immediately relaxed. Even though she would face the danger of being beheaded if she returned to Nanlin, her mother and older sister could live a normal life.
Her older sister was only two years older than her and had a long life ahead of her; she shouldn't end up like her.
She was grateful to Gu Xin for telling her that she could start a new life with her family. She wanted to, but she knew she couldn't.
She killed the princess, even though she was acting under someone else's orders.
But she feels relieved now.
She can stop thinking about anything.
And so, she slowly fell asleep.
Hearing her even breathing, Gu Xin also went to the soft couch to rest.
Gu Xin closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep, because A Yin would be woken up by the pain soon and she would have to remove the needle from A Yin.
For some reason, Gu Xin suddenly thought of Cheng Huaiyu.
In fact, after returning to the Great Zhou and burying Cheng Huaiyu's ashes, she rarely thought about it anymore; the deceased was gone.
However, when she was treating Ayin, she thought of Cheng Huaiyu.
She thought of Cheng Huaiyu helping them and dealing with Peng Mu. She thought of Cheng Huaiyu being discovered by Peng Mu, and then being taken by Peng Mu all the way through the north of Da Zhou, from Xing Nan Kingdom all the way to Lang Ge Kingdom. She thought of what Gu Yingxue said about Peng Mu's unpredictable temper towards Cheng Huaiyu.
She didn't experience what Huaiyu felt at the time, but she still felt sorry for her.
Actually, Ah Yin's situation was completely different from Cheng Huaiyu's, but she didn't know why, she just inexplicably thought of Cheng Huaiyu.
Perhaps, Cheng Huaiyu's death was also a hurdle that she found difficult to overcome.
She was the first friend in her life outside of her family, and she considered her a very important person. In fact, they had only known each other for a few months, and the total time they spent together was less than a year.
But in her heart, Cheng Huaiyu was very important.
The only thing she could think of that Ah Yin and Cheng Huaiyu had in common was that they treated their families, their beloved families, the same.
Cheng Huaiyu knew that Gu Yingxue was Gu Qingyuan and Peng Yizhu's adopted daughter, just like her, so she also treated Gu Yingxue as her younger sister. She was willing to give up her own chance of life for her sister, just like A Yin gave up her chance of life for her family.
It's equally heartbreaking.
Furthermore, Ah Yin's helplessness should be the same as Cheng Huaiyu's helplessness when he was in Lange Kingdom!
Gu Xin felt sorry for the girl.
She never discriminated based on people's status. Ayin was the personal maid of the second princess of Langge Kingdom, but she would not consider her inferior just because of that status.
She felt sorry for her.
Gu Xin decided to intervene in A Yin's affairs, at least to save her life and give her hope.
She felt she could still do it.
Apart from Cheng Huaijin, there are very few people who can remind her of Cheng Huaiyu.
Even after so long, she still remembers Cheng Huaiyu. She feels it's fate, so she decides to help Ayin.
As for how to help, we'll think about that later. Anyway, the Southern Lin delegation won't leave Great Zhou in just two or three days; it will take time for both sides to discuss matters.
