Nalan Shuo finally could not hold it in and hysterically shouted, ”Lunatic! You are a lunatic!”

He didn't want to argue with Nalan Shuo. He only wanted an answer, and that was, who was Zhen Shuang?

Nalan Shuo sat on the ground and muttered to himself. He suddenly raised his head and smiled: ”So, Seventh Brother, why did you come to question me?”

”About the heart.” She replied with determination.

”Chastity Heart... I do not know her, but I saw her once before on the journey to the Yellow Mountain. I heard later that she was a Holy Maiden, that's all. ” Nalan Shuo spoke the truth.

Su Chen frowned slightly. Zhen Yuxin was the Holy Maiden. When he was at the Yellow Mountain, he had no impression of these things. Perhaps it was because he was still very young at that time.

Su Qing smiled and asked, ”What should I do for you in exchange?”

”Let me leave the cold palace and give me my freedom. How about it?” Nalan Shuo's eyes shined like a mouse's eyes in the dark night.

After clearing his silence, he stood up, sighed, and said, ”Deal.”

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. Nalan Shuo, who was sitting on the ground, felt joy in his heart and asked, ”When?”

”As soon as possible.”

Nalan Shuo didn't ask any further and just sat down. His heart was filled with joy. He could finally leave this place and be free.

When he thought of today's small harvest, he really wanted to share it with Qiao Liangjin. He looked at the roof and smiled, feeling like he was a boy who had just started a relationship.

Qiao Lianjin, who was sitting far away at the Flower Lover Pavilion, felt a sense of unease and sadness. He sat by the table, holding his chin and did not tease the leopard, nor did he chase after Yu Sheng to curse him.

Yu Sheng did not seem to be used to it. He only wore a apron and stood in front of Qiao Liangjin. He said with a smile, ”Mistress, why aren't you scolding me today?”

Qiao Liangjin's heart suddenly hurt again. She waved her hand and said, ”Stop messing around. Big sister's heart isn't feeling well. I don't know why, but it's always been waves of pain.”

Noticing that Dai Di was ironing her skirt, she asked, ”The purple smoke drove her brother to school, but it didn't say when he would be back.”

Dai Di nodded and grumbled, ”That's right. It's fine to write a letter, but I don't know what she thinks.”

Hearing Qiao Lianjin and Dai Li's conversation, Yuesheng looked curiously at Qiao Liangjin. A golden glow suddenly appeared in her fox-like eyes before she disappeared the instant she lowered her head.

Qiao Liangjin sighed and said, ”Ah, the day when you are a little girl is the day you are married. If Lan Lan is also married, then I will be alone.”

Pang Dai blushed as she spat at Qiao Liangjin, ”Miss, you are speaking nonsense.”

Qiao Liangjin pointed at Bai and Kuan who were standing outside the door and laughed, ”Look, there are already two people in the yard. Bai is lively and Kuan is calm, but he likes you a lot. Muse, what are you going to do about it?”

Putting aside the chores in her hands, Muse held her cheeks and said angrily, ”Missy, do you want this servant to die of shame?”

Qiao Liangjin, who had been laughing and teasing her, felt as if she had been hit hard on the heart when she heard Pai Dai say the word ”die.” She suddenly couldn't laugh anymore and bit the corner of her lips as she forcibly said: ”It's really weird, why is my heart so uncomfortable today, I'll go lie down.”

Mimi quickly tidied up her clothes, put out a few candles and smiled, ”Miss, rest well. Tomorrow, I heard that General Shui's daughter is coming. There are still some famous sects that will be here to see you.”

Qiao Liangjin cried out in grief and covered her face with the blanket. She shook her head and said, ”I'm going to go see that top scholar tomorrow!”

Pai Di only pursed her lips and smiled. She hugged the leopard in one hand and left the room with Yusheng in the other.

Qiao Liangjin kept feeling a pressure on her heart. No matter how hard she breathed, it was not smooth. She kept tossing and turning, constantly adjusting the Qi in her body. After almost two hours, she finally stopped feeling depressed and fell asleep.

That night, Qiao Liangjin had a strange dream.

She dreamt that she was walking among the red flowers. She bent down to examine them and blurted out, ”So it's the Resurrection Lily.” The flowers seemed to understand her words, as they all swayed, as if they were nodding.

She looked at the other side of the river, and could not see anything clearly. She was so focused on looking at the other side of the river, that she forgot to look at her own foot, and was actually tripped on the ground. She cried out in surprise, only to see that there was a long wound on her palm.

Qiao Liangjin bandaged her wound and upon closer inspection, she realized that she had fallen onto a skeleton. His palm must have been pressed against the skeleton's ribs, which had punctured his palm.
