Three days later, the weather turned cool and a torrential downpour began.
Xia Fengxue stood at the palace gate. His clothes were quite wet from the heavy rain, but he still braved the downpour to reach Princess Changning's palace because he was very worried.
Looking at the girl who was leaning against the window, staring blankly at the rain outside, Xia Fengxue asked the palace maid at the door, "Has the princess been in this daze for the past few days?"
The palace maid bowed her head and replied, "Your Highness, the princess has been in this condition for the past few days."
Xia Fengxue muttered to herself, "Could it be that Fengguang isn't fully recovered yet because he was hypnotized?"
The palace maid dared not answer that question.
He glanced coldly at the palace maid, "Take good care of the princess."
"yes."
Xia Fengxue glanced at the scenery one last time, then turned and left.
What was Feng Guang thinking at that moment? She stared blankly at the rain falling outside the window, wondering if what had happened in the past few days was really as her father had said, that it was just a dream, a dream used by others to kill her.
She couldn't help but recall the scene when she woke up three days ago. After the palace maid was overjoyed, she went to summon her father and mother. Leaving aside how long her mother held her and cried, just looking at the familiar scene around her, she felt like she was still dreaming.
After she lost consciousness in the desert, she ended up in a small town in southern China. In that town, after experiencing a headache, she returned to the palace... She began to wonder if she would end up in another place if she lost consciousness again.
Unfortunately, she has not shown any signs of falling into a coma in the past few days.
The Taoist priest Liao Liao, whom the eldest brother invited, told her that she had been hypnotized and trapped in a dream. In this dream, if her consciousness died, her body would also die. This was an extremely sophisticated method of killing. Whenever someone died under this method, it was difficult for others to discover, and in the end, they could only use sudden death as a cover-up.
People around Fengguang told her that she had been unconscious since the night the assassin appeared in the main hall, and shortly after the third day, she suddenly started to show signs of dehydration. No matter how much water they gave her, it didn't help. Fengguang knew that it was because she was in the desert.
Looking back now, everything makes sense.
She often enjoyed reading supernatural tales, and her elder brother collected many of them for her. There was one story in particular that she remembered vividly after reading it once. The story was about a town where everyone was a ghost. They lured innocent people to the town to become their substitutes.
In the story, the only one who retains his humanity is that little boy.
Even if she was hypnotized, it was still based on her consciousness, and things from her real world would be projected into her consciousness. That's why she went to a ghost town in this dream.
And the desert... the desert was meant to kill her. He once said that he would only take her away from the palace for three days. Now she understands that he meant he would only let her live in the dream for three days.
Si Jia is an assassin from Wuji Tower. No one knows his methods of killing. All that is known is that he is invincible and has never failed. And now, she is the only one who has survived.
She raised her hand and lifted her sleeve. Sure enough, there were no scars on her wrist. She was certain that what had happened in the past few days, starting from the memory of that night when he kidnapped her, was just a dream.
