I seem to have reintegrated into the life of the former Nine Princesses, even if the third brother did not announce my return to the courtiers and the common people.

A faint ache in my heart continued, and I slept in my temple all day, except for the occasional waking hour.

Dreaming non-stop. The nightmares of all kinds were like uninvited guests, taking turns to visit, competing to stimulate me and humiliate me with the most bizarre language, which made me have a splitting headache.

I dreamed that Shi Guanyin's face floated from the cold water of the Lechuan River, smiling coquettishly and unscrupulously, and suddenly twisted it viciously, turning into thousands of scarlet fish, and dyeing the yellow spring water into a blood-red hula. I dreamed that the starry sky outside the window of the sky turned into one shining golden Soul Snatcher arrow, whirling and whistling, and stabbing straight into my chest. I also saw a heavy jade box in the arms of the Demon Venerable, which contained my fresh heart, densely packed with silver needles, like a blood-red hedgehog. He carefully withdrew each silver needle, and the blood immediately soaked half of the jade box, and with a flick of his hand, the scar the size of the needle's eye on it disappeared in an instant, and everything returned to its original state.

I can't think normally. At one point, I thought I would never wake up from a nightmare again.

And every time I finally escaped from the deep dream, I would see the Demon Venerable Star Lord's wide eyes, hanging bloodily on the high stone wall, his gaze was extremely calm and meaningful. I went to look at the other wall, and those eyes moved to that wall. I turned my gaze to look at the dark corner, and those eyes twinkled in the corner. I simply cast my eyes on the sky outside the window, and those eyes floated on the ethereal clouds, slowly swaying.

Then, those eyes became Master's compassionate eyes.

He always looked at me silently and insistently.

If it snows heavily, his eyes keep brushing over my window like snowflakes. If the snow is clear and the night falls, the stars in the sky are his eyes, watching me all the time. I reached out to grab him, but my hand passed through those eyes, and he was unconscious. I had to close my eyes again, go back into deeper sleep, and fight the nightmare again until I was exhausted.

Time seems to be slowing down.

About five or six days later, the palace envoy suddenly came to the outside of the palace to convey the edict. I was a little unaccustomed to accepting the third brother's edict, so I had to change into a dress and kneel in front of the palace envoy, but what I heard was the news: The new king succeeded to the throne and wanted to rebuild the Hanyuan Palace.

"But," I asked hesitantly, "where shall I stay while the temple is being repaired?" ”

The palace envoy said: "Your Majesty has given you the residence in the Guan Ju Palace. ”

As soon as I heard the words "Guan Ju Palace", my heart suddenly shrank violently, and a certain hidden pain quietly rose.

Guanju Palace is the residence of the queens of the past dynasties, and it is also the most glorious and secret place in the entire Xiliang harem. In the past, there lived there the queen mother, and then it was taken by the national witch Zhenlan as his own, but now, why would the third brother let me live there?

"Did my father-in-law declare the wrong will?"

The palace envoy smiled flatteringly: "How dare you be a little one, this is indeed Your Majesty's idea." ”

I stood there dumbfounded, not knowing whether to answer the commandment or not. Suddenly, the whole hall fell silent, and several palace envoys and maids knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to the person who came.

The third brother's cyan robe bulged, as if a dark flower had bloomed in the dark night, he slowly came to my side, stopped, and whispered to me, "Gu should have come out to pick you up earlier." ”

He changed his name to "Lonely" again. I smiled slightly, and inexplicable fear crept up in my chest.

"Amo."

I looked up in response, only to see him slowly step forward and stretch out a hand at me, "You go to the new palace with Gu, and Gu will take you to see someone." ”

Shingu. See a person. I didn't move.

"Amo, come here." He quietly strengthened his tone, still holding out his expectant hand to me.

I shook that hand. So he took me firmly in his hands, and no longer answered the others, but walked along the long corridor.

"Who does the third brother want to take me to?"

He looked down at me and smiled, "It's the person you want to meet." ”

Is the person I want to meet Master? No, Third Brother, he didn't know that I had ascended into another world.

When I stepped into the palace of Guan Ju Palace, I was already sensitive to the strange eyes of the palace people peeping at me.

Guan Ju Palace has been empty for many years, and the grass in the depths has grown waist-high. A faint unknown fragrance struck, as if the elves of strange flowers and plants in the north were still circling. The third brother let go of my hand and stood there quietly, as if he was remembering something, and as if he was listening to the sound of the wind on the grass. And I sat under the eaves of the porch, silently observing this familiar and strange brother.

After a while, a palace maid came over and cautiously asked me if I wanted to change my clothes.

I raised an eyebrow. The wound of the heart-burning needle on his left arm had not yet healed, and some blood had come out of his shirt, which had been covered with a cloak, but he was still seen by a sharp-eyed and ignorant little palace maid.
