Chapter 114 The Desireless Emperor x The Beautiful and Frail Empress Dowager (16)



"Dongfang Xunyi?"

This time in the dream, Dongfang Xunyi had grown up a little. Li Xia saw that his delicate and pretty face had suddenly turned into a mature look. From the side of his face, she could see that he was pursing his thin lips. She was a little afraid to recognize him.

Li Xia was standing on the side of Dongfang Xunyi. In front of her was a thick willow tree, which covered half of her body.

This position allows her to clearly see Xunyi in the east.

Dongfang Xunyi had to turn around to see her.

This time he dreamed of a emerald green lake. Dongfang Xunyi was standing in front of the lake. The lake surface was sparkling, and beams of light were reflected on his face.

Dongfang Xunyi heard a familiar female voice.

His back suddenly stiffened, his waist straightened subconsciously, and his thick long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Dongfang Xunyi opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse: "Is it you?"

His heart suddenly tightened and his voice was filled with uncertainty.

The moment he opened his eyes, looking at the strange yet familiar environment in front of him, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Dongfang Xunyi knew that he was waiting for someone, but he didn't know who he was waiting for.

He was afraid that the person he was waiting for would not appear in his dreams.

"Yes, it's me. I'm here to keep my appointment."

Li Xia nodded slightly.

In the last dream, which was the tenth dream where she met Dongfang Xunyi.

Dongfang Xunyi may have felt that he was about to leave the dream, and at the last moment, he extended an invitation to Li Xia.

Although it was his dream, each of his dreams was controlled by the nightmare, and he himself could not decide the time and direction of each dream.

so.

Even though Dongfang Xunyi had invited her.

But he was not sure whether they could meet again in the next dream.

"Stop right there and don't move. I'll come find you."

Li Xia had just taken one step when Dongfang Xunyi's voice came out.

"Okay." Li Xia took a step back and returned to his original position.

Nightmares will only take the protagonist back to his childhood dreams.

During this period, they did not know each other.

The old emperor had not yet adopted Dongfang Xunyi into his name.

And in his dreams, he would not remember anything about growing up.

Li Xia doesn't need to worry, Dongfang Xunyi will recognize her on the spot.

But truth cannot be hidden.

When this dream is over, Dongfang Xunyi will remember everything in his dream.

When Li Xia chose to take this step, her identity had already become transparent to him.

Dongfang Xunyi took a deep breath, turned around and faced Li Xia.

In this new dream, he had some changes.

He wasn't sure if she had changed too?

"Your mask..."

When Dongfang Xunyi turned around, he saw the scene in front of him and his eyes widened.

His eyes were fixed on Li Xia's face.

She had a thin veil on her face, revealing her eyebrows and eyes. Dongfang Xunyi's eyes were attracted by the cinnabar teardrop mole at the corner of Li Xia's eyes, and he couldn't take his eyes away.

His brows furrowed slightly.

I don't know why.

He felt that her features were very familiar, but he just couldn't remember where they were.

Under Dongfang Xunyi's gaze, Li Xia subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face. "Can't you recognize me without the mask?" she asked deliberately.

Dongfang Xunyi shook his head and said affirmatively: "I recognize you."

Whether she wore a mask or not, he could tell her apart from the others even from her back.

"Dongfang Xunyi, there is something I have been wanting to tell you."

Li Xia followed Dongfang Xunyi for a few steps and then stopped.

If nothing unexpected happens, tonight will be the last time she enters his dream.

In the previous few dreams, Li Xia always looked for opportunities to find clues about Princess Hong.

God will not let down those who work hard.

She found some clues.

Dongfang Xunyi listened to Li Xia's serious tone. He stopped and turned to look down at her. "What's the matter?"

He asked puzzledly.

"Your mother..." Li Xia pursed her lips and paused. She raised her eyes and glanced at Dongfang Xunyi. "Your mother is very likely still alive."

She had been waiting for the right moment to tell him about it.

Dongfang Xunyi's body suddenly stiffened when he heard this. "You...what did you say?"

His pupils widened, his mouth opened blankly, and he took a step with his long legs, walked straight to Li Xia, and excitedly grabbed her arm, "Is my mother really still alive?"

Dongfang Xunyi looked down at Li Xia, his eyes full of hope.

"Dongfang Xunyi, you hurt me."

Li Xia frowned.

He was very ruthless and her arms were all red.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Dongfang Xunyi let go of her hand immediately when he heard Li Xia cry out in pain.

"I can swim. When I saw your mother drowning in the pond that day, I wanted to save her secretly. But when I swam to the bottom of the water, she was gone. I guessed that day that she must have been rescued by someone." Li Xia explained.

"Why didn't you tell me that day?"

Dongfang Xunyi asked in confusion.

Li Xia pursed her lips and said, "I was just guessing at the time. I was afraid that you would be disappointed, so I thought of investigating it secretly first."

Dongfang Xunyi's mother had nothing to do with her mission.

The General Administration does not provide any other detailed information except basic information on the mission objectives.

The system also tracked Dongfang Xunyi's many dreams, and Li Xia and it found some clues.

"So tell me now, have you found any conclusive evidence or clues?"

Dongfang Xunyi's eyes lit up.

The matter of his mother has always been a thorn in his heart.

Even if the whole world despises her, she is still the one who gave birth to him and raised him.

He couldn't form a united front with the people of the world.

Even though he didn't understand what his mother did.

Li Xia nodded. "That's about right. But before I tell you the answer, I want to tell you a story first."

"Story?" Dongfang Xunyi didn't know what Li Xia meant.

Li Xia did not explain too much to him. She opened her lips and said, "There was a little girl who grew up in a well-off family with strict rules. When she was eight or nine years old, her father adopted a son. Later, the little girl grew up into a graceful young lady. As they lived together day and night, she developed different feelings for her nominal brother.

When the girl realized her feelings for her brother, she tried to stop the loss in time, but her emotions were out of her control. The less she saw him, the more she felt for him. The girl didn't dare to tell her brother about her feelings, but she didn't know that the way she secretly looked at him had already betrayed herself.

Li Xia raised her head and looked at Dongfang Xunyi. "Do you think the girl's nominal brother is also interested in her?"

"Um."

Dongfang Xunyi nodded.

"How can you be so sure?" Li Xia raised her eyebrows slightly.
