Ruan Zhen has not dreamed for a long time.

The unreal voices of Gu Huaizhi and Changfeng were heard in her ears, but their voices became increasingly hollow. Then, a strong suction pulled her into the dream.

*****Dream Lines

After Zhou Xu ascended the throne, the living standards of the people in the country he ruled greatly improved. Lin'an streets became even more prosperous.

Teahouses, bookstores, taverns, etc. line both sides of the street. Vendors are constantly shouting.

The surrounding tourists whispered to each other: "The wedding date of Tianjia and Taifu Qianjin has been set by the abbot of Fanshan Temple, and it will be in the beginning of the next spring."

A woman who praised the basket slapped her thigh: "Miss Liu in Taifu's house is also a person. In the past few years, Taifu Liu was worried. There are a lot of young talents in Lin'an, but she doesn't like them all."

No. Who would have thought that after the emperor ascended the throne, the two of them would fall in love."

Some people were sneaky and lowered their voices: "Now, the princess recognizes her ancestor and returns to the clan. This is a good thing, but it is really disappointing."

Princess?

Where did the princess come from?

After the death of Princess Jing, Prince Jing clearly did not marry again.

etc!

More than ten years ago, Princess Jing was pregnant with Liujia when she jumped off a cliff to avoid Emperor Hui, holding her five-year-old daughter in her hand.

That is Zhou Xu's biological sister.

Princess Jing died, and the one who survived was naturally not the fetus in her belly.

Before Ruan Zhen could think deeply, the scene changed. It turned into the general's mansion.

The woman serving beside the general's wife Jiang Yi had a worried look on her face. She stood walking back and forth in the yard, occasionally raising her eyes to look at Mu Hansheng who was kneeling outside the yard.

The maid standing next to her said anxiously: "Mommy, the young master has been kneeling all night, what will happen if this continues?"

Mammy sighed deeply: "When that incident broke out, my wife was in unbearable grief. She became seriously ill and almost died like this."

"I didn't drink medicine or talk when I woke up. When the general came over, my wife proposed to leave. The general was so scared that we didn't dare to come to this compound."

As she was speaking, she paused, turned around and asked, "Where is the general?"

The maid lowered her face and said, "I heard from the housekeeper that I am going to the Duke's Mansion."

Mammy looked desolately at Mu Hansheng, who was kneeling and moving outside. She left words that were almost indifferent.

"It's really fate that brings people together. Now I'm thinking of going to the Duke's Mansion. It's too late. No one is there."

"The general's heart is really cold!"

"So what if the young master has been feeling guilty for so many years? He should kneel down!"

"Let me tell you, how could Granny Ren, who was serving the girl, say goodbye so well?"

Grandma Ren?

Is it Granny Ren who Gu Huaizhi treated with respect and kindly cooked chicken soup for them?

Before getting married, Ruan Zhen still spent the night in her yard.

"Can this kind of thing be hidden? It has been hidden for so many years, and the father and son have managed to hide it from the sky! Plant a thorn, and the slightest touch of my wife will make her bleed. What do you want my wife to do? How to do it?"

"It's ridiculous, Madam has never seen the girl before! They are so separated from each other!"

Inside the house, Ruan Zhen saw the general's wife, who was sallow and without any energy at all, lying on the bed. She looked at the bed beam blankly, and there was no trace of the energy that she used to show off with a big sword.

Jiang Yi trembled slightly, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye, making it wet.

She bit the quilt tightly, tears rolling down her eyes.

There was a pause of talking outside, and soon, grandma came up. Seeing her, grandma knelt down in front of Jiang Yi's bed: "Madam, please cry."

Jiang Yi just shook her head. She opened her mouth, but couldn't pronounce a syllable.

Ruan Zhen looked at the shape of her mouth and tried to distinguish it.

What she said is.

——Jiao Jiao, my Jiao Jiao

Who is Jiao Jiao?

Ruan Zhen subconsciously concluded that that was the person Mu Hansheng was looking for.

But before she could continue reading, the scene changed again. It was the Moyuan she was familiar with.

Gu Huaizhi met Mu Youde. He was holding a tea cup in his hand. He looked like a young man, but he said words that were heart-wrenching.

"Taozhiyaoyao, whose leaves are Zhenzhen, is the best way to describe her. General Mu has never seen her, right?"

He smiled lowly, but his sadness was full of it: "That's right. After she passed away, very few people came to express condolences, and no one from the entire Mu family came. The faces of the Mu family and those in Lin'an are the same, obviously

You respect her with your face, but how much do you despise her behind your back?"

"The day she died in my arms, her body was cold. I couldn't cover up the heat."

When Mu Youde heard this, sadness flashed in his eyes.

"I'm sorry for her. If I knew she was still alive..."

Gu Huaizhi coldly interrupted Mu Youde's words.

"There is nothing to be sorry for. Her surname will be Ruan until her death."

The scene changes again.

The man wore a black robe and stood with his hands behind his back.

The arrogance and dignity that should have been on his eyebrows no longer existed. There were unreadable emotions rolling in his eyes.

Gu Huaizhi, who had never believed in Buddhism, had a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist. The beads were engraved with scriptures. As Ruan Zhen came closer, she could smell the faint sandalwood scent left on his body over the years.

He looked much older and more stable.

"Master, my wife has made some snacks with her own hands. You want to meet her."

Gu Huaizhi looked calm: "No."

Ruan Zhen was shocked. Sheng Wan came to Moyuan and was informed?

She was a little at a loss and curled up her palms. Such Gu Huaizhi was unfamiliar to him.

‘Her’ death was originally for liberation, but instead it bound the living people for life.

There are countless women who are better than her and braver than her. Why doesn't Gu Huaizhi forget about her who is so cowardly and incompetent that she doesn't even dare to live?

Ruan Zhen felt a dull pain in her heart and wanted to touch his face, but in vain.

Gu Huaizhi, forget me.

Don't be angry with your mother.

If I can leave you a child, I don't want him to marry such a rusty woman and end up with injuries and follow in your footsteps.

Lying at the man's feet was an elderly Xiao Hui.

Only when Gu Huaizhi lowered his head to look at it, a hint of tenderness would flash in his eyes.

As the sun rises and sets, the scene changes again and again.

Year after year passes.

Ruan Zhen followed Gu Huaizhi and saw him silent in the court hall.

After going down to the court, when facing Mu Hansheng who was limping towards him but hesitating to speak, he curled up the corner of his mouth, but his tone was cold.

"Everyone has returned to his or her place now."

"For the sake of justice, you are right, but as time goes by, my anger towards you has become deeper and deeper."

Mu Hansheng said: "That's why.

Gu Huaizhi did not look at him. He just whispered: "I resign to the emperor."

Mu Hansheng paused and his fingertips became stiff: "Gu Huaizhi, you..."

Gu Huaizhi did not look at him and walked out towards the palace gate. But he left a message to Mu Hansheng.

"I'm tired of days like this."

It was also that year that Xiao Hui couldn't stand the passage of time and died peacefully at Gu Huaizhi's feet.

Gu Huaizhi held a piece of snack in his hand, but before Xiao Hui could open his mouth, he obediently nuzzled his hand with the tip of his nose.

Time seemed to freeze, Gu Huaizhi maintained this posture, motionless.

After a long time, a sigh escaped from the man's lips and teeth.
