Li Yue Shu had been in the organization for as long as she could remember, familiar with everything about it.
But... why did the organization now look like nothing but ruins?
She saw many familiar faces, all heading in the same direction.
Yet, these people seemed not to see her, even passing right through her.
Li Yue Shu suddenly recalled Xiao Yu's plan she saw in her dream last time, a bad premonition rising in her heart.
She quickly followed the people, and indeed saw that familiar figure.
"Xiao Yu!"
Li Yue Shu was both surprised and delighted, rushing to the woman surrounded in the middle.
But no one could see her.
He Xiao Yu was covered in wounds, her pale face particularly noticeable in the darkness of night.
"Heh, you've all come," He Xiao Yu curved her lips. Despite her soft and cute face, she carried a hint of cold ferocity.
Having partnered with He Xiao Yu for so many years, Li Yue Shu instantly thought of the plan she had written, her heart skipping a beat.
"Xiao Yu, don't do anything foolish!"
Li Yue Shu wanted to grab her hand but passed right through her.
He Xiao Yu felt nothing, her gaze coldly sweeping over the surroundings. "Since you've all come, then be on your way!"
He Xiao Yu never procrastinated. Almost the moment her words fell, she pressed the remote control in her hand.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion sounded, and the behemoth that had once loomed over Li Yue Shu and He Xiao Yu instantly turned to ashes.
...
"No!"
Li Yue Shu jolted awake in bed, sweat drenching her clothes.
"A Shu, did you have a nightmare?" Qin Mo Yuan came over immediately, asking with concern.
Li Yue Shu instinctively grabbed his hand, "A Yuan, something happened to Xiao Yu, I saw something happen to Xiao Yu!"
Qin Mo Yuan instantly understood that "Xiao Yu" she mentioned was her best friend from modern times, and he comforted her, "It was just a dream, don't overthink it."
Li Yue Shu shook her head, then suddenly thought of something, "What time is it? Where is He Xiao Yu?"
Mentioning this, Qin Mo Yuan's expression changed, "The Mo family's wedding procession has already gone to the palace. He Xiao Yu... is dead."
"What?!" Li Yue Shu's face changed, "What happened? Wasn't she fine?"
Qin Mo Yuan's face tightened, his expression full of apology, "I just wanted you to rest for a while, but for some reason, after you fainted, you wouldn't wake up no matter how I called, as if you were trapped in a nightmare, constantly calling out Xiao Yu's name."
Li Yue Shu's face turned pale, and she quickly got out of bed, "I'll go and see He Xiao Yu."
Qin Mo Yuan grabbed her, "Ji Quan Si has already arranged for the funeral procession and is preparing to send her out of the city."
Li Yue Shu's heart ached, she never expected that after just one sleep, He Xiao Yu would be...
She took a deep breath, steadying her emotions, "I want to go and see, at least to see her off on her final journey."
Qin Mo Yuan understood her distress and took her to catch up with the funeral procession.
The procession hadn't gone far, and the two soon caught up.
Just as Li Yue Shu was about to step forward, she suddenly heard a sound of flutes and drums, like wedding music.
Li Yue Shu's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be... such a coincidence?
She subconsciously glanced at Qin Mo Yuan beside her; he clearly had the same thought.
"Let's go and see."
Qin Mo Yuan took her hand and turned to walk down another street. As expected, they saw a joyous wedding procession. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
When they saw the groom sitting at the front, both Li Yue Shu and Qin Mo Yuan's expressions changed.
Mo Yu Lin...
Mo Yu Lin also saw the two in the distance and gave them a warm smile, as if thanking them for their arrival.
Li Yue Shu forced a smile and stood rigidly, watching the wedding procession slowly pass by.
The two streets were separated by a row of tiled houses. One procession was going in for a wedding, and the other was going out for a funeral.
Mo Yu Lin, riding a tall horse, had an undisguised look of joy on his face.
In the gap between the two tiled houses, Mo Yu Lin's figure and the coffin covered in white cloth passed by each other.
At that moment, Mo Yu Lin seemed to sense something and instinctively looked back, only to see a white streak flash by.
Why did his heart feel like it had been pierced by something?
Mo Yu Lin's gaze suddenly fell upon the sedan chair behind him, and his previously chaotic thoughts suddenly settled.
He was finally marrying his elder sister, how wonderful!
...
Li Yue Shu watched the wedding procession leave, a heavy weight pressing down on her heart.
She turned away, no longer looking at the scene of red and white intertwined, her eyes moist.
Li Yue Shu went to see He Xiao Yu one last time.
The soft and cute person lay quietly in the coffin, her body ice-cold.
He Xiao Yu was truly dead...
According to her last wishes, she was to be buried before Mo Yu Lin came to see her.
She didn't want Mo Yu Lin to see her after she was dead.
After burying He Xiao Yu, Li Yue Shu and the others did not linger, quickly returning to the residence they had been staying in.
When Mo Yu Lin discovered something was wrong, he would definitely come looking for them.
But no one knew that as soon as they left, a figure carrying a shovel dug up He Xiao Yu's grave.
...
Returning to the residence, Li Yue Shu went directly into her space.
She wanted to know if, by returning to the very beginning, she could save He Xiao Yu's life.
Li Yue Shu immersed herself in research again. She didn't know when Mo Yu Lin arrived, nor what happened afterward.
It was only when she came out of her space that she learned Mo Yu Lin had already returned.
He Xiao Yu, before her death, had written a letter entrusting it to Qin Mo Yuan, saying it was something that would allow Mo Yu Lin to be the Eighth Prince Consort with peace of mind.
No one knew the contents of the letter, but after Mo Yu Lin read it, he returned to his mansion like a walking corpse.
He seemed to have truly become the Eighth Prince Consort with peace of mind, even accompanying the Eighth Princess back for the traditional visit after three days.
Qin Mo Yuan recounted the events of the past few days, looking at Li Yue Shu's pale face with heartache, "A Shu..."
Li Yue Shu turned to look at him, a bitter smile on her face, "A Yuan, I really couldn't save her."
Even with those seven or eight days, she couldn't save He Xiao Yu, let alone Xiao Yu.
If what she dreamed was true, then Xiao Yu was already dead, but she hadn't come to this world, and even He Xiao Yu, who looked exactly like her, was dead...
Even on Da Geng Mountain, she had never felt so powerless.
Qin Mo Yuan affectionately held Li Yue Shu in his arms, "A Shu, the birthday of the dragon and phoenix twins is approaching, let's go home."
Li Yue Shu didn't speak, burying her face in his chest.
Qin Mo Yuan felt the damp heat on his chest and felt a sharp pain in his heart, pulling her tighter.
And so, they embarked on the journey back to Chen Nan Kingdom, without bidding farewell to Mo Yu Lin.
He probably didn't want to see them now.
The day they left, Ji Quan Si did come to see them off and promised Li Yue Shu that he would grant her one request.
Li Yue Shu did not hesitate, "If one day, the Fourteenth Prince of Chen Nan Kingdom, Qin Yi, ascends the throne, I want Qing Yan Kingdom and Chen Nan Kingdom to sign a treaty of a hundred years of non-aggression."
Such rebellious words surprised even Ji Quan Si.
He glanced at Qin Mo Yuan, who stood calmly beside him, and raised an eyebrow, "Very well, I agree!"
