Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Lin Tinghe closed her tearful eyes, put on a smile and said:

"Your Majesty, I am ready. Please follow me into the inner hall."

Nan Tangdu was indeed very happy. He hurried forward, took Lin Tinghe's hand and comforted her softly:

"Don't worry, Tinghe, when I get the Xumi mustard seed, you will still be my queen. I will definitely make a new appearance for you and let you take the throne again."

Lin Tinghe exclaimed with a surprised expression: "Really? Is the emperor joking with me? Will he really let me be the queen?"

Nan Tangdu looked at Lin Tinghe lovingly and said tenderly:

"You must believe me. I have feelings for you. I did this just to get the Xumi mustard seed and build a bridge for you to connect with the fairyland. I am afraid that you, a woman, will be too tired and don't quite understand the requirements of the fairy. That's why I want to contact the fairy in person on your behalf. You must believe me. I really love you. You are still my queen, okay?"

Lin Tinghe smiled with tears in her eyes and said excitedly:

"I knew that the emperor would not be willing to treat me like that. The emperor must have his own reasons. Fortunately, Tinghe has waited for the emperor to change his mind. As long as it is for the emperor, it is just a mustard seed. Tinghe will give it to you, all of it, as long as the emperor still has me in his heart."

Nantang Du held Lin Tinghe in his arms with satisfaction, and once again made countless affectionate promises to her, which made Lin Tinghe smile from ear to ear.

Arriving at the inner hall, Lin Tinghe took off her shoes and socks and got on the bed first. She signaled Nan Tangdu to follow her with her eyes. Based on the martial arts novels she had read in her previous life, she assumed the posture of passing on martial arts skills to others and said with a gentle smile:

"Your Majesty, please come up quickly. I am ready to peel off the Sumeru mustard seed and give it to Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty cooperates with me, it will be transplanted to Your Majesty in a moment. By then, with the protection of the immortals and the power of the Sumeru mustard seed, Your Majesty will surely unify the world and make the Duan Dynasty famous in history."

Nan Tang Du was indeed in a good mood after hearing what Lin Tinghe said. He didn't care whether the palace servants were still there or not. He waved his hand to dismiss the people around him, then untied his robe and strode onto the bed. Under Lin Tinghe's hands-on guidance, he first drank the magic water handed to him by Lin Tinghe, and then sat down cross-legged in a proper manner, stretched out his hands and clasped them with Lin Tinghe, closed his eyes, and happily followed Lin Tinghe's steps.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Tinghe smiled sadly, took out a dagger from the space, and stabbed it into Nantang Du's chest with all his strength.

No matter how careful Nantang Du was, he only slightly turned sideways and did not have time to dodge the dagger, but was hit head-on.

The guards and maids outside heard the noise and rushed in immediately. More than a dozen long swords pierced Lin Tinghe directly. Before dying, Lin Tinghe showed a relieved smile and shouted:

“Hahahahaha, Nantang Du, don’t even think about taking away the Sumeru mustard seed. I, Lin Tinghe, would rather destroy it than give it to you. With your vicious and cruel appearance, you don’t deserve the favor of the immortals at all. Once I die, your so-called Sumeru mustard seed will disappear with me…”

Lin Tinghe once again tried to stab Nantang Du to death, but was stabbed through again by the guards' quick eyes and hands. She smiled miserably and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, then closed her eyes with a smile on her face and left this world forever.

Nan Tang Du covered his chest and shouted regretfully: "Save her, save her quickly. Don't let her die. Where is the imperial physician? Come quickly, imperial physician, save her, save her."

When the imperial physician arrived, Lin Tinghe's body had already turned cold, with the cold chains still tied to her ankles. The long and thick chains extended from the inner hall to the load-bearing pillars outside the hall, and were constantly swinging, which aroused an indescribable atmosphere of misery.

Nan Tang Du was very upset that he did not get the Sumeru mustard seed and angrily yelled:

"Lin Tinghe, you bitch, you bitch, why didn't you leave that sacred object for me? Ah~ You vicious bitch, you won't give it to me even if you die. I won't let you go. Come, skin her and take out her tendons, and send her body to the Huguo Temple. I will suppress her for the rest of her life and make sure she never reincarnates..."

The plot ends here. Lin Tinghe left this world in a suicide manner, just as quietly as she came.

At this moment, she is no longer the prisoner trapped in a cage, but the queen who has found herself again.

……

As for who made the wish, it all started when Lin Tinghe went to the city to open a gourmet food shop after his family split up. The little maid who was bullied and scolded by her family and was considered unlucky and sold for money was seen by Lin Tinghe who was passing by, and was bought for one or two taels of silver and became her personal maid.

From then on, the little girl had a name - Xing'er. With Xing'er serving her personally, Lin Tinghe's daily life could be considered complete. After so many years of getting along and caring for her, Xing'er had long regarded Lin Tinghe as the most important person in her life.

After Lin Tinghe was brought into the palace by Nantang Du and became the queen, Xing'er also took advantage of the opportunity and entered the palace as a dowry maid to serve Lin Tinghe. She knew everything that happened to Lin Tinghe afterwards. She accidentally saw the young lady disappear and reappear. In order to conceal this matter, she didn't even dare to promote any maid to serve her, and even had a bad reputation of being a servant bullying the master. However, Xing'er didn't care about those false reputations. Instead, she did her best to help Lin Tinghe conceal those strange and inexplicable things.

Xing'er believed that her young lady was a fairy who had come down to earth to transcend tribulation, so she concealed her specialness. Despite this, the secret guards sent by Nantang Du still found out something, which led to the scene where Lin Tinghe was forced to hand over the Sumeru mustard seed.

When Lin Tinghe was burned to death by the abbot of Huguo Temple, saying she was an unlucky person, Xing'er tried her best to explain that her queen was not a monster or an unlucky person but someone who could bring blessings to the Duan Dynasty. However, not only did the officials and the abbot not believe it, but even the emperor who slept in the same bed with the queen did not believe it.

There was no other way, Xing'er had to seek help from everyone who was old acquaintance of her master, but no one was willing to help her until Nantang Du needed someone to go to the dungeon to take care of Lin Tinghe. Only then did Xing'er disguise herself and sneak in to take care of Lin Tinghe. However, because of Nantang Du's imprisonment and chain control, Lin Tinghe could not hide in the space and lived a miserable life.

Xing'er advised Lin Tinghe to conserve her strength while trying to find a way to rescue her. However, Nantang Du was too cautious. After Lin Tinghe saw her parents and siblings with her own eyes, he executed Xing'er and forced Lin Tinghe to hand over the Sumeru mustard seed.
