The next day, as dawn broke, Zhao Shu woke up. Just as she turned over, Sun Yun was also startled awake. She seemed to be having a nightmare, suddenly opening her eyes, waving her hands, and saying, "Go to hell! Go to hell!"
Zhao Shu hurriedly grabbed her hand, calling out, "Ayun, Ayun."
She was incredibly strong, and Zhao Shu couldn't even catch her. Hearing the commotion, Ban Shu and Sheng Xia, who had rushed in, were startled. Ban Shu even cried out, "Miss, what's wrong, Miss?" She rushed to the bedside, her face pale, fearing that something was wrong with Sun Yun.
Sun Yun danced a couple of times, but she had already woken up. She stopped, turned her head, and looked at Zhao Shu with a wronged expression. "A-Jun," she said, and then burst into tears. "I dreamed that I died, A-Jun."
Zhao Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly reassured her, "It's okay, it's okay. Dreams are often the opposite of reality. If you dream of dying, it means you're alive and well."
"Really?" She stopped sobbing, wiped away her tears, and asked, "I dreamt that I died horribly, my face was blue, so blue..."
"Really, everyone dies, but you'll die a natural death, don't worry." Zhao Shu gave her a big hug and patted her back. "It was just a dream. See, you're perfectly fine, aren't you?"
Sun Yun, still looking shaken, poured her a cup of tea and said, "Miss, have some water."
She took the teacup, gulped it down, and then suddenly said to Zhao Shu, "Ah Jun, do you think people get a next life after they die?"
Hearing her words, Zhao Shuxin's heart sank, but then she thought that most people who asked this question were just uneasy. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. Even if there is such a thing, it is another life and has nothing to do with the past life. So what is the point of questions about past and present lives?"
These words were meant to comfort Sun Yun, but she also felt a bit self-deprecating. If she had lived a good life in her past life, she would have taken revenge for all the wrongs and repaid all the debts of gratitude. Why would she be entangled in questions about past and present lives? Therefore, it is clear how important it is to live in the present.
Ultimately, people should look forward. If we live well in the present, we won't constantly look back. Those who are obsessed with the past are either extremely good or extremely bad. Those who were extremely good can never be surpassed, while those who were extremely bad are simply filled with resentment.
After speaking, he carefully observed Sun Yun's expression and saw that she was very panicked, her body was trembling slightly, she was terrified.
For a moment, Zhao Shu wondered if Sun Yun was also reborn like her, but she dismissed that possibility. Sun Yun's eyes showed only fear, not hatred. Her previous life had ended badly, and if she were reborn, she would not be able to hide the hatred in her eyes in front of someone who had also been reborn. Especially at the time of her rebirth, it would have been impossible for her to suppress all her emotions so quickly.
"But that dream was so real, so real that I felt like I had died, like in a past life." She grabbed Zhao Shu's arm, trying to find a sliver of security from her.
Zhao Shu turned her hand over and grasped hers, looked directly into her eyes, and smiled, "Are you afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid." She answered honestly. She quickly found a cloak and draped it over her shoulders. She pulled it close, sniffed, and said, "I'm afraid that if I die, my mother will be bullied by others." After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and stopped talking. Instead, she changed the subject, "Ah Jun, I... I want to ask..." She hesitated, unsure how to get the words out.
Zhao Shuwen tied the cloak belt for her, already guessing what Sun Yun wanted to ask. When she went to see Hao Jie and his son, she didn't hide it from anyone. It wasn't a secret that Hao Jie and his son were on the estate. Since she went to see Hao Jie and his son, they had never appeared again. The Crown Prince was seriously injured. Such a big thing, yet the Crown Prince's maternal uncle and grandfather did not appear.
If a noblewoman like Sun Yun were determined, she would always find out something, especially when her life was threatened. She would definitely send her secret assassins to investigate.
She smiled, lifted the blanket, and let Shengxia help her change her clothes. "Ask me if you want. I won't lie to you."
This is a promise, a promise to treat Sun Yun as a good friend. I'm not lying to you.
Sun Yun stared blankly at Zhao Shu, recalling that dream. In the dream, there was blood everywhere, everywhere she went, blood everywhere, as if it had filled the whole world. She kept running and running, walking in pools of blood. She was so tired from running, but she couldn't stop. Someone was chasing her from behind, trying to kill her.
Later, she couldn't run anymore and resigned herself to her fate. Suddenly, a corpse appeared in front of her, a corpse hanging on a rope. It was a female corpse, wearing her favorite riding outfit with azure cloud and pearl patterns and peacock patterns, as well as a pair of high boots inlaid with South Sea pearls and embroidered with clouds. The female corpse's eyes bulged out, as if her eyes were mocking her. She walked closer and saw that the female corpse's face was actually her own.
She saw herself hanging from the rope, and tried to escape, but her feet seemed rooted to the spot. She couldn't move no matter how hard she tried. Beside her was a child, a child lying in a pool of blood, grinning foolishly at her, his hands and face covered in blood. The child reached out his hand, wanting her to hug him. For some reason, she wanted to hug the blood-covered child, but she was terrified, feeling as if her heart was about to burst. At the same time, she was heartbroken, experiencing a pain she had never felt before, a pain so intense it made her numb.
Suddenly, the person behind her caught up and tried to strangle her with a rope. The female corpse who looked exactly like her suddenly laughed. The laughter was so desolate that her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.
"I want to ask if the culprit who terrified me yesterday is dead yet. I want to finish him off." She finished speaking with a mischievous smile and got out of bed. She could have slept for another hour before getting up. It was only slightly dawn, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she would see those scenes full of blood.
Zhao Shu was surprised that Sun Yun had changed his tune. She smiled, called Chu Chun and the others in to serve her, washed her face, and then replied, "One is dead, and the other is not, but it's no different from being dead."
