Chapter 735 Dream

The emperor and empress in the palace were extremely anxious, but at this time Xingxing had a dream.

Xingxing dreamed of crows all over the sky. In a narrow valley, behind a cliff among rugged rocks, there was a very hidden cave.

There were drops of blood at the entrance of the cave.

Following the blood, I saw a thin young man leaning against the stone wall in the narrow cave.

The young man's face was shrouded in mist and could not be seen clearly in the dream, but Xingxing had an extremely mysterious feeling and recognized at a glance that the young man was Wei Shiyan whom she had not seen for two years.

Moreover, the young man had a string of Buddhist beads wrapped around his left wrist. Xingxing recognized it immediately. It was the Buddhist beads that the wandering monk gave her when she was a child. Before she left the capital, she gave the beads to Wei Shiyan.

Xingxing's consciousness tried to float forward, trying to get closer to Wei Shiyan.

After all, she saw that Wei Shiyan seemed to be injured on his chest, and there were some deep marks on his black clothes.

But when Xingxing wanted to get closer, the thin young man seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at her.

In her dream, Xingxing met those cold yet sharp eyes.

Xing Xing was about to say something, but her dream turned into a ball of swirling flying catkins, throwing her consciousness out.

Xing Xing suddenly sat up from the bed, still a little dazed.

She had never had such a dream before.

Zhaoying was a little worried, so he poured a cup of warm water and walked forward: "...Princess, did you have a nightmare?"

Xingxing took the warm water and moistened her throat slightly.

She was still somewhat immersed in the dream she had just had, and didn't know how to tell Zhaoying, so she just shook her head.

At this moment, a maid's urgent voice came from outside: "...Princess, there is an imperial decree from the palace saying that the Empress is not feeling well. Please enter the palace."

Xing Xing's heart sank slightly.

She had an inexplicable premonition that the Empress's body was related to her dream.

Xingxing entered the palace with the medicine box.

The atmosphere inside Zhaoyang Palace was very solemn.

Queen Nie is still in a coma.

Many doctors were discussing Empress Nie's health in a low voice in the front hall, saying that her health was mainly caused by excessive worry and grief.

There seemed to be a snowstorm between Emperor Jiazheng's brows, and he disliked the doctors for being too noisy.

Xingxing entered the palace, and before she finished the ceremony, Emperor Jiazheng waved his hand and said, "Don't bother with all the formalities. Xingxing, come here. The Queen has always liked you. With you by her side, she will be more relaxed."

Xingxing agreed and walked to the side of Queen Nie's bed.

The maid beside Queen Nie helped Xing Xing move an embroidered cushion with red eyes.

Xingxing sat on the embroidered cushion and took the pulse of Empress Nie who was still unconscious.

Xingxing agrees with the doctors' conclusion.

Empress Nie had not been in good health to begin with, and she had just recovered somewhat. But now, no one knew what had happened, and her emotions fluctuated so much that she fell into a coma.

However, Xing Xing had been in charge of Empress Nie's pulse case before and was very familiar with her situation.

She took out a pill and asked the palace maid to feed it to Queen Nie with some water.

Xing Xing explained to Emperor Jia Zheng: "The problem with the Empress's health lies in her blood and qi. This pill has a mild nature and is just right for the Empress's body."

Emperor Jiazheng nodded: "I believe in your medical skills."

With the joint efforts of Xing Xing and the doctors, Empress Nie woke up near dusk.

However, when Empress Nie woke up, she was very excited. She even managed to sit up and grabbed the sleeve of Emperor Jiazheng, who was lying on the edge of the bed: "Ayan, Your Majesty, Ayan——"

Hearing the name "Ayan", Xingxing's heart sank a little and she remembered her dream.

Queen Nie’s face was pale as a bloodless cloud, and she was shaking violently: “Your Majesty, I dreamed of our A Yan, he, he…”

Queen Nie could not continue speaking and sobbed.

Emperor Jiazheng was extremely heartbroken. He hugged Empress Nie and said, "... Empress, it's okay. I have already sent a team to search all the way south. Our Ah Yan will be fine."

Empress Nie's eyes suddenly fell on Xingxing who was standing at the side of the palace. She became even more excited. She stretched out her hand to Xingxing in Emperor Jiazheng's arms and said in a hoarse voice, "Xingxing, come here!"

Xingxing followed the instructions and went forward. Empress Nie managed to sit up straight from Emperor Jiazheng's arms, grabbed Xingxing's hand, and said incoherently: "...Xingxing, I, I dreamed of Ayan. Ayan was captured by those barbarians and was severely tortured...Xingxing, you, you are Ayan's noble lady, please tell me quickly, my dream is fake, it's fake..."

Empress Nie was actually desperate and was trying all sorts of methods to cure her illness.

But Xing Xing held Empress Nie's hand instead.

Xingxing's hand was small, warm and soft. Queen Nie suddenly felt like crying when she was held by such a small hand.

Xing Xing whispered, "The Queen is worried about Brother Yan? ... May I ask what happened?"

Emperor Jiazheng gave a look and the waiting doctors, as well as the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving him, all went down.

For a moment, only Emperor Jiazheng, Empress Nie and Xingxing were left in the palace.

Queen Nie held Xingxing's hand and choked up as she told her the contents of the letter written by Grand Minister Qin.

"...He just chased after her alone." The more Empress Nie thought about it, the more heartbroken she became. "He still has more than half a month to live before he turns eighteen."

Queen Nie burst into tears.

Xing Xing thought for a moment and decided to tell Queen Nie about her dream as well: "Queen, I'm not lying to you. I also dreamed of Brother Yan before I came here. Brother Yan hasn't been captured yet. He is in a cave. Although he is injured, his life is not in danger. As for the bad luck that Brother Yan has, you don't have to worry, Queen. Before I left, I gave Brother Yan a string of Buddhist beads that I have worn for many years. Brother Yan has been wearing it all the time. It won't be a problem if he goes down the mountain for a while."

Queen Nie was suddenly agitated: "Really?"

Xing Xing nodded emphatically: "I dare not deceive the Queen."

Empress Nie was so happy that she cried. She couldn't help but turned her head and said to Emperor Jiazheng: "Your Majesty, did you hear what Xingxing said? Ayan is fine, he is fine--"

Emperor Jiazheng didn't want to lose his composure in front of a little girl like Xingxing, so he tried to maintain his dignity: "I heard it!"

When Queen Nie heard the good news, her complexion improved a lot.

Xing Xing suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Queen, I just heard that Your Majesty sent a team to search all the way south. In my dream, I clearly saw where Brother Yan was. I beg you to let me follow the team all the way south to look for Brother Yan."

Emperor Jiazheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Xingxing steadily: "Really? Do you know that this journey is difficult and dangerous with the Nanman watching closely?"

Queen Nie also looked at Xing Xing with tears in her eyes.

Xingxing was her Ah Yan's destined lover, so she was very willing to let Xingxing go. But she also knew that the journey was very dangerous, and she -

Xing Xing just bowed and said: "I am willing to go, please approve it, Your Majesty."
