Chapter 8: Dreams

I had a long dream.

In my dream, I was dressed in silver armor, armed with a spear, and riding a horse through the border full of yellow sand and dust.

In that precipitous canyon, there were many barbarian soldiers in strange costumes, and among them was a man in an ink-robed robe.

That's Xiao Xuan, he looks younger than now, different from the brazenness that pestered me before, now he is full of anger and coldness.

I killed a few of the enemy soldiers around me, reached out to him, and pulled him onto his horse.

At sunset, the desert was overgrown with golden shrubs, and he leaned against my back, the smell of blood and the familiar smell of ambergris.

Then, in an intricately decorated wedding room, I sat on the edge of the bed in my bridal dress, waiting for my husband to return.

But when the lights fell and the sky was bright, Xiao Xuan didn't come.

I was told that he had spent the night with other women and that he might not be back for the next few days.

The pictures of the past kept flashing in my mind, I saw that I was sent to the prison, tortured, and my hands and feet were sore and pus, Xiao Xuan didn't even come to see me, and when I finally escaped and returned to the palace, what I saw was Xiao Xuan leading Lin Yueyan down from the carriage, and their children were still by his side.

Lin Yueyan doesn't like me, she is Xiao Sui's Bai Yueguang, and she once fell in love with Xiao Sui, but because of my appearance, the emperor gave her marriage, which made her dream come to naught.

So she hated me, and she didn't dare to hate me from the surface, so she could only call her sister and stand behind her and stab me.

It was a cold winter month, Xiao Xu fell into the pond, Lin Yueyan hugged the child with a high fever and cried, let Xiao Yu spare me, don't embarrass me.

Xiao Sui thought that I had done it, and he sent people to besiege my villa and shut me up in a small world.

I thought it was ridiculous at the time, I thought about his husband, I saved him, helped him, and made him from an unfavored prince to a prince who was in power and even competed with the prince, but he wanted to kill me, because there was no evidence for a word from others, so he wanted to divorce me.

I sat at the door of the annex, looking at the sycamores in the courtyard, and sat in the cold wind for three days and three nights.

Later, I had a miscarriage.

In the chaotic picture, it was the maid next to me who noticed the blood stains on the corner of my skirt, so she was so frightened that she cried and called the doctor.

The strange thing is that I didn't feel any pain myself, I only felt numbness, and perhaps, when a person's heart died, it wouldn't feel pain.

The doctor said that the children in my womb were twins, and it was two months old, because the stillbirth could not come out of the womb, and my situation was very dangerous.

It was at that time that I saw Xiao Xuan's panicked and frightened look, and he angrily issued an order to the imperial doctor, if they couldn't save me, they wouldn't want to live.

I don't understand, why does Xiao Sui care about me? He never liked me, and blamed me for sabotaging his marriage to Lin Yueyan.

From the first day of marriage, he refused to look at me squarely, and the reason why he still retained my status as a princess before was only because of the power of my mother's family.

Oh, I forgot to say it, my identity, the commander of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Ye Zhen.

My father was a well-known general in the DPRK, and my mother died when I was a child, and I followed my father to guard the border for more than ten years.

When I was eighteen years old, I met Xiao Xuan.

When I was twenty years old, I became Xiao Xuan's princess.

I 'died' at the age of twenty-three, forgetting everything about Ye Zhen, and now, the old man from the past appeared in front of me again.
