"Go to hell!" He heard the eldest princess's cold and vicious voice.
Then, He Anping held a sharp sword and stabbed Su Wanti...
Su Wanti was seriously injured and staggered away. Her face was as pale as paper. She covered the wound with her skinny hands, but blood still flowed out from between her fingers.
His heart was broken, but he could do nothing about it.
"Brother Cang, where are you? Come and save Wanmei!"
"Brother Cang, come and save me!"
In the dream, Su Wanti ran desperately, stumbling and bumping, her body bruised and covered in blood.
She kept calling his name and asking him for help, but he was like a person standing outside a mirror, unable to touch her or save her. He could only watch her fall into a burning fire, be engulfed by the raging flames, and finally burn to ashes.
"This is a dream, this is a dream! Fortunately, it is just a nightmare!"
Dugu Cang patted his chest and came back to his senses.
"Wanmei! Where is Wanmei? I want to find Wanmei!"
The door opened with a creak, and Tingfeng walked in with some tranquilizers.
"Your Highness, you're awake," he said.
Dugu Cang saw him and hurriedly said, "Tingfeng, where is Miss Su? Go find Miss Su quickly."
Hearing this, Tingfeng's lips moved, he sighed almost inaudibly, and said nothing.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Dugu Cang didn't rush. After a moment of thought, his eyes lit up.
"I was so scared of myself. This is my yard, not hers. She should be resting well in her yard. Yes! Wanmei is still waiting for me in her yard. I'm going to see her now."
Dugu Cang's thick long hair was not tied up, but was loose, wet with sweat.
He was only wearing pajamas, without even a coat, and ran out in a hurry barefoot.
Ting Feng stopped him, "Your Majesty, don't you remember?"
"Remember what?"
"Miss Su... Miss Su is no longer with us." A look of sadness flashed in Tingfeng's eyes.
Dugu Cang was stunned for a moment, "My sister is no longer in the palace, so which palace did she go to?"
He thought of his dream and froze, mumbling:
"The He Mansion is very dangerous. The He family is plotting to harm her and must kill her. And there's also the eldest princess... I can't let my younger sister meet the eldest princess."
"I have to go to the He Mansion to find her. Tingfeng, go and prepare the carriage. No, the carriage is still too slow. I'll go on horseback... I have to take Wanmei away from the He Mansion immediately."
Whenever he thought of the miserable appearance of Su Wanti in his dream, he felt extremely heartbroken.
It was he who failed to protect Wanmei, and he kept blaming and resenting himself in his dreams.
Why did he let her go back to the He Mansion even though he knew that the He family had bad intentions towards her?
Why didn't he go back to the He Mansion with her and force He's parents to sign the divorce agreement on behalf of He Anping?
Why did he send Wanmei back to that dangerous place, letting those cold-blooded beasts of the He family murder her?
At the end of the dream, Wanmei was engulfed in flames, but he didn't even have the ability to stop it. He could only watch her turn into ashes. At that moment, he would rather be the one to die.
Fortunately, he has woken up. Those terrible scenes were just a nightmare, and he will not let the horrible and tragic things in the dream happen.
"Tingfeng, why are you looking at me?" Dugu Cang turned around and saw Tingfeng's face full of indescribable expression.
"Your Highness, please wake up. Miss Su has committed suicide." Tingfeng's voice was hoarse.
At this time, he realized that the prince was not in a good state and he could not accept the fact that Miss Su had passed away.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Cang's expression changed instantly, becoming extremely gloomy.
"Tingfeng, Shenyan, you know how important Miss Su is to me, how could you curse her!"
Tingfeng couldn't help himself, his voice tinged with tears, "Your Highness, Miss Su returned to the He Mansion last night. This morning, Miss Su set herself on fire and died in the He Mansion. Most of the He Mansion was also burned down, and the people of the capital saw it all."
He lowered his head, hiding the tears in his eyes.
He felt sorry for the prince and also felt sorry for Miss Su.
Dugu Cang's eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly became cold and vicious. He seemed to be suddenly filled with a dark and murderous aura, with extremely strong and terrifying pressure.
"No, you lied to me! Wanmei couldn't possibly commit suicide! You were lying! Why did you lie to me, Tingfeng? You've been with me for so many years, why did you lie to me? You knew how important Wanmei was to me, why did you lie to me about her life or death!"
Dugu Cang glared, gritted his teeth, and showed his anger.
Seeing that he was still not awake, Tingfeng had no choice but to recount the scene they had witnessed.
"Your Highness, you saw it with your own eyes this morning! Miss Su was standing on the roof of the small building in the He Mansion. She set off a spark, which ignited her clothes. Then a huge fireball burned on her body. Later, she fell to the ground, burning..."
"It's autumn now, the weather is dry and fire is flammable. Miss Su set fire to the dry grass and trees in the He Mansion's courtyard and the small building. The fire was huge and spread very quickly, making it impossible to put out the fire.
"By the time the firefighters arrived, the fire had already been burning for a quarter of an hour. They mobilized many people to put out the fire and rescue people. It took them a full two hours to put out the fire in He's mansion. By then, most of the courtyard in He's mansion had burned down."
"I've checked, but Miss Su's body is nowhere to be found. It was burned to ashes along with the small building."
"Oh--"
Tingfeng heard Dugu Cang's sneer, looked up, and saw that he had a calm face. However, this calmness was obviously not real calmness, but the calmness before the storm.
Dugu Cang narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, and looked terrifyingly gloomy and calm.
For a long while, his lips trembled and his eyes were filled with endless sorrow.
He remembered that Su Wanti had died, right in front of his eyes, in the most tragic way, without leaving any trace in the world.
"Why! Why did Wanmei leave me? Why is she so depressed? I finally got her to come back to me. She said yesterday that she wanted to be with me forever. She lied to me, she lied to me all the time!"
"Wanmei chose to burn herself...burned cleanly. She has no attachment to this world. Doesn't she have any attachment to me either?"
Dugu Cang sneered a few times and then spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The bright red, salty blood stained his head, face and body.
Under the dim light, Dugu Cang looked like a severely injured beast, full of wounds. He fell straight to the ground with a bang and fainted.
