Since that day, Lou Jingzhi has confined me in the palace. Only Cuiyun has been accompanying me as usual, but she seems even more worried than I am. I don't know who I can still trust, so I can only send messages to Mu Xiao.
He is the only person I have seen with my own eyes protecting the royal city with his body, I trust him. I live in the palace in a daze, not knowing the passage of time outside, the scenes of my past life always reappear in my dreams, making me even more restless. That night, I was awakened by the sound of a window opening.
The court lady standing guard next to me has all collapsed on the ground.
"Who!"
Before I could even shout, my mouth was covered by someone.
Familiar yet unfamiliar fragrance wafted over, and I unconsciously relaxed my emotions, which had tensed up in an instant. Bathed in the moonlight pouring into the sleeping quarters, I dimly made out the faces of the two people in front of me. If this is a dream, I hope to never wake up again.
In front of me is General Mu Xiao and my face.
I knew it a long time ago.
This person, Wei Ruyin, even if he becomes a nobody like Wei Sitang, he will never be content with the status quo.
Before I died in my past life, the intense hatred towards Wei Ruyin has now been diluted to almost nothing. I just feel wronged, both for her and for myself. Before I even spoke, my tears had already fallen.
Mu Xiao Vigilantly observing the movement outside the hall, she turned back to look at me with tenderness and helplessness, just like when I used to cry loudly every time I got into trouble as a child.
Wei Ruyin Smiling at me, she rarely showed obvious signs of smiling, only revealing a hint of joy when she talked about her vision of a peaceful world. And now, it is clear that her shadow is on my face.
She lightly patted my back and pulled me into her arms. I awkwardly avoided looking at her, but my body involuntarily leaned in. Her gentle yet firm voice gradually warmed my body in the quiet night.
"Atang, leave everything else to me."
I told Mu Xiao the signal for passing messages to Lou Qi.
After they left, I was too excited to fall asleep again.
For the first time in several months, I smiled. I paid no attention to the court lady lying on the ground in disarray, dressed in sleepwear, and threw on a cloak before pushing open the palace doors to sit in the courtyard. The night was cool like water, the stars fading, and I watched as the sky in the distance gradually turned white.
When I turned back to my room, two court ladies who were helping me get ready in the morning happened to turn the corner from the outer hall.
"Have you heard? The northern army is winning victory after victory. They have been at our gates for half a month now. Yesterday, a messenger came to report that King Nanzhao has passed away."
"That's not all. My lover is in the army, and I just received a letter from him yesterday. I thought he had committed suicide, but guess what? He was torn apart by five horses at the city gate! It was a gruesome sight..."
One of them saw me outside the hall, panicked and kept signaling to the other. Both of them knelt down, spilling the hot water from the basin in their hands all over the floor. "Your Majesty, please spare us! The servant was too talkative..."
I stared at them intently, wanting to say something to refute, but I felt that every word was difficult to express.
Wei Ruyin, do you know? She and Mu Xiao rushed through the night, fearing that they did not get this news at the first time, right?
Or, was the peace and dawn of last night another dream they wove for me?
I didn't say a word, changed my clothes, and went to find Lou Jingzhi.
I made a wrong step in my past life, and every step was wrong. I am now afraid of any sudden changes.
At any cost, even if I have to endure a thousand cuts, I will not let everything happen again.
"Let me go! I need to find Lou Jingzhi!"
The two court ladies desperately blocked my way. I chopped at the back of their necks, causing them to faint on the ground. However, as I tried to leave, I was stopped by the guards on the way.
I smiled at them and pointed to the intricately carved pillars in the hall behind me.
"The security in the royal palace is tight, I hasn't been foolish enough to try to escape. I only wants to see Lou Jingzhi. If anyone dares to stop me, I will crash my head into the hall and die!"
"At that time, you will die with I."
Several guards looked at each other, and I took two steps forward without anyone stopping me. Ha, I sneered in my heart. Lou Jingzhi, your subordinates are either cunning and shallow, or a bunch of useless idiots.
I met Mu Xiao on the road. More precisely, he brought me back to their temporary base.
"I want to see Wei Ruyin."
