He didn't know what happened after that.
But why my legs grew back is a mystery. I suppose my dad knows something about it.
Ji Ruchen has woken up, and I have learned what I wanted to know. Given my current status, there is no reason for me to stay in the Crown Prince's residence any longer.
I should hurry back to see my dad. He must be worried sick about what happened to me. I should go back and find out what's going on before making any plans.
"Now that you're awake, I'll head back. Thank you for saving me. I'll find a way to repay this favor. Have Mu Bai see me off."
Upon waking from this dream, I seemed to remember something, yet also seemed to remember nothing at all. A strange sense of desolation washed over me, and I felt an urge to weep.
Ji Ruchen disagreed with letting me go. He wanted to reconcile with me, but if what he said was true, it was probably impossible for us to be together in this lifetime.
Even if I love someone deeply, I still have to consider my own life. Besides, he is already married. How can I stay here and live like a caged bird? That should not be my fate, Luo Qingyi.
As evening fell, Luo Qingyun finally arrived, along with her father and the emperor's edict.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Luo Qingyi, daughter of the head of Luo Fengtang, has bewitched the Crown Prince, causing discord between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. She shall be imprisoned in the death row for three days and beheaded. So be it."
When Grandpa Gao uttered those words in his shrill voice, my memories began to slowly resurface.
That day, Ji Ruchen's wedding dress almost blinded me. I watched helplessly as the man I loved married another woman.
The man who had been with me for four years suddenly married another woman one day.
On the eve of our wedding, we had a very unpleasant argument, and he imprisoned me in order to marry her.
I disrupted his wedding, and he cut off both my legs and crippled my martial arts. As for how my legs were able to regenerate, I simply can't remember.
I never imagined that after I lost my memory, I would travel thousands of miles to come back to you. How foolish of me.
"This humble subject receives the imperial decree and expresses his gratitude."
I imagine it must have taken a lot of effort for Ji Ruchen to send me back to Minchuan. After all, I disrupted the wedding of a crown prince, challenged the imperial authority, and insulted all the officials. My death was the only way to appease public anger.
"Let go of my sister! I won't let you touch her! You bunch of bad guys, I'll fight you to the death!"
Qingling's small body stood between me and the guards who were arresting me, and she screamed her heart out.
My father looked at me with a helpless expression, and suddenly looked much older.
Luo Qingyun is fearless. Although we usually don't like each other, he's always the one standing behind me when it matters.
Just like now, he didn't say anything, but silently stood behind me, ready to fight at any time.
"Eunuch Gao, you must have forgotten. Wasn't Luo Qingyi the one you mentioned who had her legs chopped off and thrown into a mass grave half a year ago for causing a scene at my wedding?"
This is my newly acquired concubine, named Pianpian. I don't know where you heard this rumor, but you actually think that a dead person can still bewitch me. My father and mother must be confused."
Ji Ruchen's eyes slowly turned bloodshot again as he questioned Eunuch Gao with a sinister look.
The eunuch was startled by his behavior and kept repeating "this...this..." until the guard next to him reminded him that he had acted improperly, and only then did he realize his mistake.
He dared not confront Ji Ruchen again, and instead came over to question me.
"Since you are not Luo Qingyi, why are you accepting the imperial decree?"
