Chapter 22: Not in vain

"If I really want to say that I have any unfulfilled wishes, the only one is that I want to visit Dingshan Temple." After a pause, Dugu Lianyun emphasized, "This is an imperial edict and must not be disobeyed!"

Mu Ci stood upright, she didn't want to accept the order.

But other people waiting in front of the emperor knelt down to receive the order, and her opinion was ineffective.

When Dugu Liancheng heard the news and rushed over, Dugu Lianyun was already ready to go.

"Brother, you can't do it!" His opening remarks were exactly the same as Mu Ci's.

"Why are you acting like Ci'er? Liancheng, you are also going together. This is an imperial decree." Dugu Lianyun gave the order and took the lead in getting on the carriage.

Just as Mu Ci was about to follow, Dugu Liancheng shouted at her and asked, "Did you instigate this?!"

Knowing that the emperor's brother's dragon body was against the will and the end was approaching, Mu Ci dared to do such a treasonous and unethical thing?

Mu Ci didn't bother to explain, so he avoided Dugu Liancheng and got into the carriage.

"Vicious woman!" Dugu Liancheng scolded and got into another carriage.

On the way to Dingshan Temple, Dugu Lianyun was still sleeping and waking up. Mu Ci stayed with him the whole time, just because he was afraid that something might happen to Dugu Lianyun.

She could not remember many things in her previous life, and her memory of Dugu Lianyun's death was also very vague.

Today, Dugu Lianyun suddenly asked to go to Dingshan Temple. She suddenly recalled that Dugu Lianyun seemed to have died at Dingshan Temple in her previous life.

The only difference from this life was that when Dugu Lianyun passed away in her previous life, she and Dugu Liancheng were in the palace.

Is everything determined by fate and not up to anyone’s control?

She was reborn, but she couldn't change anyone's fate, other people's, including her own.

Thinking about this possibility, her heart felt heavy, as if a heavy burden had been placed on her.

What she fears most is that in the end, she will still become one of the three thousand in Dugu Liancheng's harem...

With stops and starts along the way, the journey originally took more than half a day, but ended up taking twice as long. By the time they arrived at Dingshan Temple, it would be Mao hour the next day.

Dugu Lianyun, who had been sleeping all night, finally woke up and seemed to be in good spirits.

Looking at Mu Ci, who had not closed his eyes all night, the corners of his eyes were black and blue, and he looked a little haggard, but he was still as beautiful as a flower.

It's just that her little face was tight, without a smile at all, and she looked extremely serious.

"Why do you have this expression when you're out for fun?" Dugu Lianyun joked.

Mu Ci lowered his eyelids and replied in a hoarse voice: "The emperor is too willful and does not care about his own body. I am unhappy."

Dugu Lianyun smiled: "I want to take you to see the real beauty of golden autumn. Let's go."

He took Mu Ci's hand and walked toward the ginkgo forest.

The rest of the people followed them quietly, including Dugu Liancheng.

Looking at the emperor and empress holding hands in front of him, his eyes were unpredictable. What he was doing here was just to serve as a foil. That woman was once his quasi-grandbrother and concubine, which was simply ridiculous!

Mu Ci didn't notice that Dugu Liancheng's eyes were on her, and she asked curiously: "Does the Emperor often come to Dingshan Temple?"

It looks like he is familiar with the road.

"I've been here a few times. I once thought that if I could bring you here once in my lifetime, it would be a life worth living." Dugu Lianyun looked at Mu Ci with gentle eyebrows.

Mu Ci's heart tightened and her steps became heavy.

This man must also know that his time is approaching and wants to fulfill his final wish, right?

"Why are you crying?" Dugu Lianyun immediately noticed that Mu Ci was in a strange mood.

Mu Ci raised his eyes to look at the sky, forcing back the tears in his eyes: "It's just that the wind and sand blurred his eyes."
