With another sigh, Jinse had no choice but to return to her room. There was nothing that could change Mel's current situation; even if she found the Old Man, it wouldn't matter because A Niu was already gone and would not return to take away his memories. This sentiment had already been left with Mel.
"You are really far away from me." On the bed, Fengyin lay unconscious, dressed in white with white hair. Hibiscus sat by the bed, only able to watch her without touching her body, always pushed away by an invisible force.
Such a short distance felt like an entire world apart.
"Fengyin, you have been asleep for three days. Aren't you going to wake up?"
"Benefactor, what happened to you?" A voice echoed in Hibiscus's heart; it was surprisingly Fengyin's voice. Yet she was right in front of him and did not speak. "Fengyin, is that you?"
"It’s me, Benefactor."
"You..."
"I don’t know either. It’s all white here, and I’m still looking for an exit. I’ve been awake and can hear you talking. I can even hear your thoughts, so I tried to talk to you. I’ve been talking to you, but you couldn’t hear me." Fengyin seemed a bit resentful. "These days I've passed golden mountains, forests, and marshes; now this white expanse is all fire—it's so hot."
Hibiscus looked up; there were already fine beads of sweat on Fengyin's forehead. "You could hear what I said? You heard my thoughts too? How could you talk to me now when you couldn't before?"
"Uh, I accidentally heard them. I couldn’t speak before, but later I just thought it in my heart, and you heard it." Fengyin's voice was a bit shy. "I heard you say you missed me."
Hibiscus's face stiffened slightly. She huffed lightly, "You haven't woken up yet; no one can move until you do. Hurry up and wake up."
"Oh..."
Hibiscus's handsome face showed signs of losing composure as she tapped Fengyin's forehead with her Jade Flute but was still pushed away by the invisible force.
"I took your medicine to Brother Mei."
"You bullied Young Master Mei again?" came the voice in her heart.
Hibiscus's expression darkened. "It's not my fault; it was the princess who hurt him."
"I actually have a question: when are you marrying the princess? You're not young anymore," Fengyin finally asked after thinking silently in her heart.
"Hmph, nonsense," Hibiscus coldly snorted.
"Brother Mei, you're hurt. Let me bandage it."
"Jin Zhi, I've been feeling heartache lately."
"What is the reason?"
"I don't know. It just hurts at night, all by itself."
"Do you still remember the past?"
Mel nodded, "I do, but it feels like someone else's story."
"You know everything; I don't understand it well either."
"I know I'm bound by obsession, but I don't want to let go of it all now. The past me is gone, so let it be gone."
"Then what about this heartache of yours?"
"I loved He Huan; it's nothing compared to the pain for her."
"Have you thought about the princess?"
Mel shook his head, "I have no time to consider that."
It turns out feelings can suddenly disappear without a trace.
"Not good, Spiritual Incense has left a note and run away." Jinse was holding a piece of paper, knocking on Xuan Li's door.
"Nonsense."
Xuan Li opened the door with a grim expression.
"Feeling down, let's go for a walk."
This was straightforward, leaving no clues behind.
Xuan Li entered Mel's room, pressing a folding fan against Mel's throat. "If anything happens to the princess, I will be the first to kill you."
Mel furrowed her brow and remained silent, her expression extremely obscure.
"Hey, handsome, what are you doing here?" He Huan yawned as she stepped through the door.
"I'll kill her first," Xuan Li said, his eyes blazing as he looked at He Huan outside the door. Without hesitation, he struck with ruthless intent. Hibiscus shook her head slightly and stood by, watching.
Jinse covered her face with her small hands as a wave of bloodiness filled the air; He Huan collapsed into a pool of blood just like that.
When he decided to kill, he showed no mercy. Xuan Li's ruthlessness was evident in an instant, making Jinse tremble in fear.
He Huan was gone just like that, completing her mission of being a bystander in this ancient world. Who said that traveling through time had to be grand? Being a mere bystander was also a good choice.
Mel's expression was sorrowful as she carried He Huan's body out the door and did not return even by dusk.
"Is Mel not coming back?" Jinse cautiously asked Xuan Li.
"I want to be alone for a while," Xuan Li replied, glancing at her fearful expression, reminding him that they were not from the same world.
She had been protected too well by Song Yun since childhood; she was too innocent and too good.
"I know you're worried about Spiritual Incense," Jinse bit her lip but ultimately couldn't say it out loud. "She went out."
"I need to return to the capital to dispatch people to search for Spiritual Incense; I can't accompany you to Elegant Mountain Villa."
"Okay," Jinse replied softly before closing the door and leaving.
Xuan Li closed his eyes; this feeling of helplessness truly stirred his anger. As a ruler, he could have any woman he wanted, yet she was from the Song Family, the niece of his Mother Empress. The head of the Song Family was unwilling to let her enter the palace, and he couldn't shamelessly ask Zhong Cheng for his daughter.
Love, how could an emperor have love? Perhaps he should never have left the imperial city. Now, could he still let her go so easily?
Why wouldn't she fight for him?
The next day, Xuan Li was set to return to the capital alone. Jinse did not appear; she was curled up under the blankets with red eyes. She thought she would be able to see him every day for a while, but who knew that just a few days after stepping out, this would all come to an end? She hated herself. If only she hadn't meddled and saved that He Huan, none of this would have happened. Fengyin was in a coma, Mel had changed her heart, Spiritual Incense had left, and now Mel was gone too. Xuan Li had to return to the capital.
Why was no one blaming her? She felt guilty and miserable.
Jinse went to Fengyin's room. "Wuwu Yin Yin, please wake up. I... I don’t want to look for my father anymore. After all, I’ve never had a father. I want to go back to the capital for the Consort Selection."
Jinse wiped her tears. "Ah, I don't want a father anymore. I want to go back. Xuan Li is going to wuwu... be with another woman."
"Jinse? Uh, I didn't hear anything." Hibiscus stood awkwardly at the door, having entered at some point.
Jinse stopped crying, feeling embarrassed.
"I truly didn’t hear anything," Hibiscus shook his head and smiled politely.
"Has the emperor returned to the capital?" Jinse asked softly, lowering her head.
Did he really not hear anything?! Is that true?! Is he lying to her?!
