I looked up at the sun. Stood up and whistled. The red horses galloped over. I stroked it between its eyebrows and said, "Red dates. Let's drive the flock back. Otherwise, my sister-in-law will be worried for a while."

I got on horseback. Waving a horsewhip in his hand. Drive the sheep back in the sunset.

Yes. I'm shepherding sheep. I finally left the Qing court. Leaving those strife. Left the whirlpool of intrigue. Although only temporarily.

The herdsman I went to with the fourth master. Brother Chao Getu and sister-in-law Kikige took me in. Nothing was asked, nothing was said. Only when I arrived. They accepted me like their family. Tied me a new one next to their felt bag.

In the blink of an eye. I have been living freely under this blue sky and white clouds for almost a year. I changed my name. Speak 'Mongolian' every day. I pretend I don't have those that I used to be. Pretend to be really reborn. I learned to help Sister-in-law Kikige take care of the newborn lamb. Learn to deliver ewes. Learn to make wine from mare's milk. Every day. I live with peace and freedom. I'm no longer afraid of who's going to drug me. Borzigit's 'jade' ice has become a cloud of smoke in the past. But the fourth master is still deeply imprinted in my heart. Every day, every minute, every second. I miss him all the time......

A year of time. Now I am wearing a plain 'Mongolian' robe. Long hair braided into a braid. Hooded on his head. Blushed face on a summer prairie. Who would have thought that I was Gege, who once favored the Qing Palace. I'm just an ordinary sheep herding girl on this grassland.

My current name. It's called Jiya.' 'Meng' means fate. Sister-in-law Qiqige said. I met them by fate. Now come to the steppe and meet them again. This is the best fate ever.

Walk on the way back. I sat on horseback. Looking at the grassland in front of me dyed with a layer of golden 'color' by the setting sun. I can't help but think of the moment I opened my eyes..

I opened my eyes. The vision gradually became less blurry. I saw the Wind Shadow, the Cloud Shadow, the Butterfly Shadow, the Willow Shadow, the Butterfly Seventeen, the Cloud Three, the Willow Smoke, and the Quack Doctor all standing by my side. I smiled. But I felt like even such an expression was going to exhaust all my strength.

Butterfly Seventeen called out with tears in her eyes: "Master."

"You're awake." The four of them said in unison.

Yun San smiled with tears on his face. Liu Yan's face resembles mine. It's a relief I've never seen before.

The quack doctor still looks out of tune. Teased and said, "Beauty. You don't wake up again. They're probably going to cut me up and boil the 'medicine' for you to drink."

I want to sit up. I struggled hard for a long time but still couldn't get up. Willow Shadow and Willow Smoke helped me sit up. Let me lean against the head of the bed. I asked, "Why are you all here?"

But I didn't hear anything. I opened my mouth again and said, "What's wrong with me."

I still haven't heard anything.

I can't hear myself. I'm a little flustered. Gesture ......

Liu Ying asked the quack doctor, "Master, what's wrong?"

The quack probed my pulse. Then say, "You open your mouth wide. I'll see."

I opened my mouth wide. He looked at it and said, "I'm silent for a while."

Lost his voice. What's going on. I want to talk but I can't say anything. Kazekage sees this. Brought me a pen and paper. My hands trembled. Write down ugly words that I've never seen before.." What's going on".

"You idiot. There is something wrong with the 'medicine' you drink. You can't see it in a silver bowl. But when you were in a coma, the 'medicine' that the imperial doctor gave you happened to form a poisonous 'medicine' in your body. The poison didn't flow all over the body. Not dead now. It's just that losing your voice is your fate."

The quack's voice sounded dissatisfied. I know he's worried about himself. Laughing and writing, "Thank you."

They all looked at me with smiles. I wrote: "These days. What's going on?"

Kazekage spoke, "Today is the second day of the first month. The master has been in a coma for three days. Isn't it a break first. And then again."

I shook my head. They are helpless. Kazekage continued, "Something happened to you. The fourth, thirteenth, and fourteenth masters are all sad."

Hear here. I thought to myself. The fourth master doesn't know what's going on. I. Miss him a lot. Thirteenth brother. What happened to the fourteenth brother. I'm sorry for them.

"The Queen Mother insists on burying you with the gift of Princess Gulun. At the insistence of the fourth, thirteenth and fourteenth masters. You are buried in the mausoleum of the fourth master. Twenty-eighth of the lunar month. After your burial. The fourth and thirteenth masters locked themselves in the study for two whole days without eating or drinking. Not a word. To the thirtieth day of the lunar month. They were all persuaded by the child to leave the house." Kazekage said. I felt both uncomfortable and relieved. The children can persuade them to get out of the room and prove that the children are okay. And they. Also cheered up.

I heard the wind shadow also say: "On the banquet of the Taihe Hall on New Year's Day. The emperor gave the fourth master a marriage. It's Nian Qianyao's younger sister. Scheduled to get married in February. The fourteenth master went to find the fourth master for this. It seems that the Fourteenth Master has defected. I plan to help the fourth master seek to seize the throne." The Fourteenth Master defected. I don't understand. Is it because of my death? This was unexpected. Marriage. The emperor took the initiative. Here's why.

"The crown prince and the eighth master are both complacent about your death. The Ninth Master also seems to be suspicious of your death. The emperor did not make any clear statement. The Queen Mother is very sad." I think of the Queen Mother's care and care for me over the years. The guilt in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.

I sighed. wrote: "My previous intentions. It seems to have all been reached."

Liu Ying was a little angry and said, "Yes. The master is calculating. The master is wise."

I see he's angry. Hurriedly tugged at his sleeve. Innocently looking at him. And on the paper he wrote: "I'll be fine. Don't be angry. Is it good?"

Liu Ying looked at me. After a while, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Master. You...... Hey."

I know he's out of breath. Settle down. And he asked, "The new dark lord."

"The emperor is still considering candidates. It's not settled yet." Cloud Shadow said.

I nodded. Thinking about these calculations, plans. That's pretty much it for now. The rest. Still have to take one step at a time. I wrote again: "My throat. When will it be good."

The quack glared at me and said, "I don't know. Three to five days at the earliest. It's possible to be slow down for three or five months."

I pouted. looked at the quack doctor with a look of 'desire' and crying. He stared at me viciously and said, "Look at what you see. It doesn't work. Be careful I don't care about you. Keeps you dumb all the time."

My eyes began to fill with tears. The quack stared at me. He said hatefully, "Three or five days. Three to five days. Alright, alright. You. Don't look at me like that."

I wiped the corners of my eyes. Smiled. I don't know anything again.
