"Older Sister, I am Ji 'er. Can you see me? My body is in so much pain. The water in this water prison is so cold and I cannot find a place to climb up. There is an endless stream of water coming in, ah! I am going to fall down! Older Sister, come and save me — — "
"Older Sister, I am falling down. So much water is flowing over my head, blocking my nose and mouth, filling up my throat and body. So uncomfortable, so uncomfortable, I am unable to breathe! I feel that my skin is being soaked and my soul is leaving my body. I am swelling, swelling, swelling, I am going to burst! "
"Older Sister, I am not in pain anymore because I am dead … Why did you not come and save me, why did you not come and save me, why did you not come and save me …"
Ning Shu abruptly woke up from this terrifying dream. Her back was completely soaked in cold sweat and even her teeth were chattering. She forcefully pinched her palms until her flesh turned red. Only then did she force herself out of that heart-wrenching nightmare.
How long had it been? How long had it been since she last dreamt of that life? She had not dreamt of that water prison. She had not dreamt of Ji 'er's swollen body soaked in the water. She had not dreamt of those eyes that refused to close even in death. They had been soaked in the water until they had turned gray, but they had stubbornly looked at her, as if questioning why she had not protected him well.
Pain, pain, pain, pain.
It was so painful that she was about to split apart.
She had clearly made a vow with her soul in this life that if she had the chance to start over, she would definitely escape from that life's prison and not let her loved ones suffer any more harm, but she still went back on her words.
Her little Ji 'er was only five and a half years old. He was obviously a little older but he had already learned to worry for her, saying that his older sister was the best in the world and no one wanted to marry her. When he grew up, he would marry her. But now, her little Ji 'er was lost.
Ning Shu closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening the bamboo curtain, "Stop the carriage and take off the horse harness."
The servant who replied was Fu Ling, Baishao's good sister. Since she saw Baishao's corpse, her tears stopped and her eyes turned red. She used her sleeve to press on her red eyes and asked, "Young Miss, where are we going? Aren't you going back? "
Ning Shu turned her head and looked at the highest point of this ancient and majestic city. There was a dazzling golden light. "No, I want to enter the palace."
Zi Gui, who had rushed back to Ning Shu's side as soon as he heard the news, widened his eyes in worry when he sensed her intentions. He grabbed her sleeve and shook it hard. He anxiously gestured with his hands and tried his best to stop her. No! Young Miss, did you forget what you said to Shizi? He absolutely won't let his emotions get the better of him. Taking the initiative to enter the palace to see Empress Cao now is tantamount to walking right into a trap! Not only will you not be able to save the Young Master, but you will also lose your life!
Ning Shu had already made up her mind. She held Zi Gui's hands and said, "I know I promised him, but this time I have to go back on my words. Since Cao Hou had gone through so much trouble to take Ji 'er away, he definitely wouldn't let the matter rest so easily. I had no choice but to face her. Zi Gui, please forgive me. Don't worry, since I've decided to meet her, I'll definitely think of a way to escape. Your family's Young Miss is a nine-tailed fox that has been stamped by the Jianghu's All-Knowing Scholar. I have nine lives and will not die. "
"Following me for so many years, it was always you who took care of me. Even for me, even yourself … Zi Gui, thank you."
She smiled and held Zi Gui's hands to gently hug her. She then resolutely took off the horse harness and mounted the horse. Smiling at Zi Gui, she said, "Now that Baishao is gone, I must bring Ji 'er and Forsythia back safe and sound. Jia! "
