Under the interference of the Upper Realms, it was unknown when the Emperor had been disturbed by the nightmare. In his dreams, he saw either Ling Chaofeng taking his life, or the Xiaowan taking revenge, or the old officials he had dealt with come to seek justice.

He would often wake up in the middle of the night covered in cold sweat, unable to calm down.

The empress was very worried. She asked the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription and even asked him to kowtow and worship her until the end of the month, with little success. The Emperor's spirit was declining, and his body was losing weight.

When the Xiaowan came to the Culture Hall today and saw what the Empress was sewing under the window, she knew that the Empress's red face had always been nimble and agile.

The empress stuffed handfuls of tea leaves into a cloth bag, gradually turning into a pillow. When she saw her, she said, ”I heard from the imperial physician that using tea leaves as pillows can calm one's breathing.”

”Is the emperor still not able to sleep well?” The Xiaowan asked, ”Even after eating so much medicine, it still won't work?”

”He didn't sleep well before for the government, but at least he didn't have nightmares.” Siyan was extremely worried. ”But now, Yeye has been woken up by his nightmares. Whenhe sat up, she broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that he has gotten thinner, Empress Dowager was also very worried. If I were to make the old lady worry later on, I will really be guilty of a great sin if I can't even take care of the young ones. ”

The Xiaowan felt that it was strange. The emperor's body would collapse if things continued like this, but the husband clearly said that he was in charge of protecting the emperor and the destiny of Daqi. The emperor should not suffer.

At night, Master came to see her. Xiaowan asked Ling Chaofeng kindheartedly, ”Is it because you always come to accompany me at night and have no one to protect the emperor? That's why you're working so hard, your majesty?”

Ling Chaofeng understood clearly in his heart that the reason for the Emperor's nightmare was because of the help of the people above. Since he was not a demon, he could not interfere, but if he were to tell the Xiaowan about it, she would definitely be hurt.

In fact, to Ling Chaofeng's surprise, the emperor endured the nightmarish torture time and time again, but he never followed the dream to expel the Xiaowan.

He didn't even tell the empress what he had dreamed of. He promised the empress not to expel the Xiaowan, and that was to use all his power to fulfill his promise.

This shocked Ling Chaofeng, and made him helpless, if the emperor was unable to recover from his sickness, then who would blame him?

It was also the eighth of the same year. Other than the southernmost area, all of the people within the Daqi realm were covered in ice and snow.

Early in the morning, the door of the inn rang. Aunt Zhang, wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, opened the door and saw him standing in the snow with her things.

In the middle of the autumn, he took a boat home with a bunch of things for children, and excitedly went to the tavern to see his daughter and grandson. In the end, he was informed that Ling Chaofeng was no more, and his children were also gone as well.

Master Mu sat in front of the door for a long time before he regained his senses and asked Uncle Biao if he would return. After finding out that he was coming back, Master Mu would come over from time to time to ask if his daughter was back yet.

In Aunt Zhang's letter to Xiaowan, she mentioned this matter. Xiaowan had asked them to prepare some gold, silver, and other things to help Father survive the winter, but Master Mu was unwilling to accept them. He said that he came only to see if his daughter had returned.

”Drink a bowl of porridge to warm your body.” The Aunt Zhang said, ”A few days ago, Xiaowan sent a letter saying that everything was well for her and even greeted you. She has someone taking care of her from the capital, and our Ershan is currently a teacher in charge of Ministry Of Justice, so no one will bully her. ”

Master Mu listened attentively. After knowing that his daughter was well, he felt more at ease and prepared to leave without eating any rice porridge. He also said that if Xiaowan came back, I would have to trouble you to tell him.

Watching his elder brother leave, the Aunt Zhang sighed to the Uncle Biao, ”If only he could discipline his wife in the past and not make her mistreat Xiaowan. If that time you didn't make it there, and the Xiaowan really jumped off the cliff, it would be too late. Humans, ah, are just people that we shouldn't cherish in the past. There will be no time for us to cherish in the future. ”

However, Uncle Biao said to his wife, ”If Xiaowan is truly disheartened and wants to reunite with Chao Feng, we can't stop him. But if she is still willing to live, then we cannot be her burden. No matter what, we must be fine. ”

Aunt Zhang said tearfully: ”The previous two years were quite lively. Even if Madam Xu were to make a ruckus every time, at least a whole family would be around. ”Why did it turn out like this? Those two children were so kind and did so many good things. Is the heavens blind?”

It was because the heavens could not control everything that so many deities came to assist them. The more deities there were, the more restricted they would be by the Heavenly Law Scripture, and once they had it would be up to someone to take control.

The ones in charge had great responsibilities, and they did not have the seven emotions and six desires. It could not even be said that they were unyielding and cold, because there was only right and wrong.

As for Kangti, he was troubled by nightmares. He could not sleep at night and was getting worse and worse. It was the eighth day of the Japanese New Year. From the beginning of the dynasty to the end of the Longevity Palace, they served the Empress Dowager together with the royalty. Just as everyone was rejoicing, the emperor fainted due to lack of strength, scaring everyone.

When he woke up from his stupor, he still had the fear of a nightmare. Even if he didn't have a nightmare now, he would still feel fear and fear to close his eyes. He was relieved to find that there were no nightmares to disturb his slumber.

”Your majesty.” Siyan gently called out to him with tears in her eyes, ”Has the emperor woken up?”

”This Emperor slept soundly and felt very comfortable.” Xiang Run forced out a smile, ”Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just tired.”

Siyan shook her head: ”How could it be fine, just something is wrong, don't try to be brave, okay?”
