The original owner said hopefully: "Sister Xi, I'm leaving, don't forget what you promised me."
Shu Yao suddenly remembered what the original owner had said to her, hoping that she could be with her third brother, love him well and protect him.
Shu Yao's heart sank, come again?!
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, the original owner became a little anxious and said, "Sister Xi, I'm begging you as my sister."
"Not long after he returned to the palace, his position was still unstable. Every step he took was frightening, as if he was walking on thin ice. In that cold palace, there were dangers everywhere, and the emperor did not trust him. At this time, there was no one available around him.
Then isn't he alone and helpless? Sister, he needs you!"
"Besides, he loves you too, I can feel it." The original owner said firmly.
Shu Yao knew that she was a fake, so she corrected her: "No, she loves you."
"Sister Xi, don't deceive yourself, okay?" The original owner paused for a moment and then said: "I know you don't love him, but because I'm about to die, just treat it as me begging you, even if you don't love him.
Fall in love with him and give yourself a chance to stay by his side and protect him. Maybe you will discover his goodness and fall in love with him."
The original owner's words made Shu Yao feel uneasy. She was not stupid, so how could she not feel His Highness's heart? However, she didn't want to.
Love is mutual, it cannot be wishful thinking, nor can it be compromised, nor can it be used as a bargaining chip or as a way to repay a favor. What's more, she cannot be a substitute for others.
"Sister Xi, just think of it as me begging you. Even if you don't love him, for the sake of my master saving you, help me protect him. Otherwise, I will die in peace."
The original owner's voice was as weak as a thread, which made Shu Yao's heart skip a beat.
"My dear sister, although I cannot love him, I promise you that if he is in need or faces danger, I will protect him."
Although I am not satisfied with this result, perhaps, this is the best ending.
Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief, her breath so weak that it was almost inaudible, "Thank you sister, I hope we can be sisters again in the next life. Sister, please take care..."
The original owner's voice gradually disappeared, and finally turned into a wisp of white light and disappeared into the dream.
In desperation, Shu Yao stretched out her hands, trying to catch the stray ray of white light, and called urgently: "Sister Yao?"
"Sister Yao? Did you hear what I said?"
"My dear sister?" She just left with regret.
Shu Yao's tightly closed eyes could not stop the tears from flowing out of her eyes. No matter how she shouted, she could not get any response from the original owner. She just disappeared with her love and longing for His Highness, never to come back again.
Feng Chen was frightened, what happened? In his eyes, Shu Yao had always been strong and tolerant, so why did she suddenly lose control in such a short time?
He touched her shoulder and asked softly: "Boss, how is Shu Yao? Why are you crying? Tell me quickly."
Shu Yao suddenly sat up, and a series of tears flowed down her face. She cried so hard that the man outside the car was shocked.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and a black figure suddenly appeared and sat beside Shu Yao. The man's eyes were as deep as a pool, full of concern.
Immediately, a pair of big hands held up her little face, which was full of tears, and let the tears fall on his hands, making them wet.
"My dear sister, what happened? Why are you crying so sadly? Are you dreaming?"
Shuyao Yingying cried. When she saw the person coming, she remembered that the girl with tricks was gone. She could no longer control the sadness in her heart, and she suddenly got into the man's arms and cried bitterly.
The man's warm and strong arms embedded her in his arms, and her heart suddenly suffocated.
At this moment, Shu Yao felt that only in this way could the original owner, who disappeared with regret, get some comfort.
"Third brother..." She cried wantonly in the man's arms, her whole body trembling slightly, and her phoenix eyes as clear as blue water were filled with tears.
He raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, but the tears flowed onto his hand, scalding his heart.
The sound of "Third Brother" made Gong Yun'ao's strong emotions hit him like a mountain, as if his blood was about to solidify.
His heart was suffocating, as if a sharp knife was piercing his heart, and his internal organs were all broken!
His slender, thick black eyebrows furrowed lightly, and a gentle and low voice sounded above her head, "Yaoyao, be good, do you have something on your mind? Tell third brother?"
Shu Yao kept shaking her head and sobbing on his shoulder. After a long time, she lowered her eyes, and two lines of clear tears oozed out again, flowing to his neck and chest, "Third brother, I'm sorry, I can't
explain."
"Third Brother is here. If you want to tell Third Brother that Third Brother is always by your side. If you don't want to say it, then just cry! Cry and say it."
Gong Yun'ao's hard heart became extremely soft, just like his indestructible will, just because he didn't meet her.
Just like the little woman in front of him, her indestructibility is just a disguise for loneliness.
After a long time, Shu Yao finally got tired of crying. With slight sobs and slightly trembling shoulders, she fell into a deep sleep on the man's shoulder.
In her sleep, she vaguely saw Shu Yao waving to her and whispering in her ear, "Sister Xi, love third brother well, third brother can't live without you..."
"If there is an afterlife, we will be a pair of good sisters..."
The fading echo kept lingering in her ears, like an obsession or a spell that lingered for a long time.
When Feng Chen saw her like this, he knew in his heart that the original owner had completely disappeared.
Gong Yunao stroked her long hair distressedly, and whispered to Feng Chen: "Feng Chen, go back to Shu Mansion and take good care of my sister. She looks very sad. If she wants to talk, you can listen. If
If I don’t tell you, don’t force me to ask.”
"Okay." Feng Chen simply responded and thought to himself: I understand why she is so sad. A pretty girl just left like this. She can't redeem her. And she is the one who occupied the magpie's nest. There is nothing she can do.
.
Gong Yun'ao held her in his arms and slept all the way. However, the road always ends. He was greedy for the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, but he had to let go and give it to Feng Chen. He told him to take good care of her, and then reluctantly turned around and returned to the palace.
.
Shu Yao slept for three days, and the soul consciousness in her body was completely integrated. After adjusting her breath, Shu Yao woke up leisurely, which frightened Feng Chen sitting aside.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said worriedly: "Boss, if you don't wake up, I'm really afraid that you will fall into a vegetative state from now on."
Shu Yao rubbed her temples and asked confusedly: "How long have I been sleeping?"
"For three whole days, you couldn't sleep very well. She left, which was such a big blow to you! By the way, since you fell into coma, the Third Prince came to see you many times. He was extremely worried. If it weren't for the formality,
, I think he wants to live here!" Feng Chen counted her fingers and counted how long she would sleep.
"Third brother is here?" Shu Yao sat up from the bed, feeling more transparent and comfortable than ever before, as if she had been reborn, and her whole body was relaxed.
"I don't know why, but I fainted while crying." Maybe the disappearance of the original owner made her too sad, or maybe the complete integration of the soul was too energy-consuming.
Hearing this, Feng Chen asked in a low voice: "Has she completely disappeared?"
Shu Yao nodded, her long eyelashes twitching. She had long been accustomed to her in her body, but she didn't expect that she would disappear so quickly, "Yes, she just disappeared with regret."
As if she had not yet gotten over the bad news, she stood there in a daze, recalling the instructions she had given her before she disappeared, feeling extremely sad and helpless.
Feng Chen nodded and said sadly: "I know, we just need to help her take good care of her family, and it will make her regrets go away."
After speaking, he was silent for a moment and said: "Boss, you don't know what major events happened in Kyoto during the three days when you were sleeping?"
Feng Chen had a sad look on his face, and even his voice became dim and depressed.
Shu Yao got out of bed and walked to the dressing table. At this time, Zhuxi and Zhenzhu rushed over after hearing the sound. They looked worried and said with a thick nasal voice: "Miss, you are awake, you are worried to death."
It’s all slaves.”
With tears in her eyes, Pearl said: "Miss, you scared the slaves to death. Madam was so anxious that she called several doctors to diagnose you. They all said that you fell asleep because you were too tired. But, which one is normal?
People sleep for three days?"
Zhuxi couldn't help but interject: "By the way, the master has also visited you and told us to take good care of you! Miss, this time I came back from the autumn hunting, the master has changed a lot and he knows how to care about the miss."
Seeing that the two maids cared so much about her, Shu Yao smiled happily and asked, "By the way, where is mother?"
Pearl said: "Zhuju accompanied my wife to the temple to offer incense, saying that I wanted to pray for my lady."
The two girls were chattering endlessly, and Shu Yao couldn't bear to interrupt. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Feng Chen walking out of the room lonely. What's wrong with this kid? He's in such a low mood?
Seeing his disappearing figure, Shu Yao looked at Pearl with worried eyes and asked, "What's wrong with Feng Chen? Something's not right."
Hearing this, Zhenzhu glanced at Feng Chen who was walking out of the door. She looked ashamed and said in a daze, "I don't know, but he has been a little unhappy these days."
Seeing this, Zhuxi laughed softly, with some sympathy in his words, "Miss, a big event happened in Kyoto in the past few days while you were sleeping."
Shu Yao glanced at her and asked quickly: "What's the big deal?"
Zhuxi Bagua said: "Miss Ling was granted a marriage by the Emperor to Master Gu's legitimate son, Gu Yan."
The silver hairpin in Shu Yao's hand suddenly fell on the desk, and then she exclaimed: "What did you say?"
No wonder Feng Chen was sad. This boy had already had a soft spot for Miss Ling's family. The emperor pointed out Ling Hanjing to Gu Yan, and it was Yu Ci's marriage. How could Feng Chen bear this?
Zhuxi said: "Yes, miss, just yesterday, the emperor granted marriage in front of all the civil and military officials of the dynasty."
Shu Yao opened her eyes wide and asked, "The Ling family is willing?"
