Xia Dongchun from Legend of Zhen Huan: I want to live till the last episode

New concubines entering the palace were not allowed to sleep with the queen for the first three days. They had to pay their respects to the queen on the second day and also meet the concubines from other palaces.

Xia Dongchun couldn't sleep at night. She kept thinking about her past life. Tomorrow she would go to pay respects to the Queen. Then she would meet Concubine Hua and Zhen Huan and the others...

In this life, she has never done anything out of line, nor has she said anything to offend Concubine Hua, so as long as she doesn't stop An Lingrong after paying her respects tomorrow, she should be safe, right?

"My lady, are you still awake?" Yun Ling was on duty tonight. When she heard Xia Dongchun turning over, she asked her in a low voice.

Xia Dongchun simply sat up and said, "I can't sleep."

"My lady, are you worried about tomorrow's events?" Yun Ling was actually a little worried. Tomorrow was the time when Xia Dongchun's fate in the previous life would take a turning point, and she couldn't help but feel afraid.

Although her mistress had behaved very appropriately today and had restrained her temper much more than before, the closer it got to tomorrow, the more uneasy she felt.

"Tomorrow I will pay my respects to the Queen Mother and also to all the sisters in the palace. I am very nervous." Xia Dongchun said whatever she could.

Although Yun Ling was also very confused, she still comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady. We will greet each other properly tomorrow and then come back. As long as we don't say too much or do too much, everything will be fine."

Yun Ling's words made Xia Dongchun once again doubt whether she was also reborn.

After thinking it over, she decided to ask. If it wasn't the case, she would just say it was a dream. If it was... Xia Dongchun didn't dare to think about what would happen if Yun Ling was really reborn like her.

"Yunling, come here, I have something to ask you." Xia Dongchun made up his mind.

Yun Ling was originally sleeping on the couch at the side. When she heard Xia Dongchun calling her, she quickly turned over, put on her shoes, and walked quickly to the bed.

"My lady, do you have any instructions?" Yun Ling asked in a low voice.

Xia Dongchun asked tentatively: "Have you ever heard of people being reborn again after death?"

Yun Ling originally thought that her young mistress couldn't sleep and wanted to talk to her, but she didn't expect her to ask this suddenly, and she froze abruptly.

Even Xia Dongchun could see the unnatural expression on Yun Ling's face, but she couldn't see clearly through the bed curtains. She became more and more anxious and simply pulled the curtains aside.

"You've heard about it, right?!" Xia Dongchun's voice unconsciously rose a little.

Yun Ling was too surprised to care about it anymore, and quickly said, "Young Master, please keep your voice down. It's late at night, don't disturb others."

Xia Dongchun also reacted at this time and covered his mouth in fear.

Yun Ling then lowered her voice and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask this, young master?"

Xia Dongchun was testing her, and she was also testing Xia Dongchun. After all, if something as far-fetched as rebirth went wrong, people would think she was crazy.

Xia Dongchun couldn't wait any longer, she told Yun Ling about the beating directly. The worst that could happen was that Yun Ling would think she was crazy, but Yun Ling would never betray her anyway: "I am actually a person who was reborn once. In my previous life, I entered the palace as I wished, but after paying my respects to the Queen tomorrow, Concubine Hua gave me a beating of the same length!"

Yun Ling was horrified and stunned for a long time. Just when Xia Dongchun couldn't help wondering if Yun Ling was frightened by him, Yun Ling fell to her knees with a plop.

“My lady!” Yun Ling’s eyes suddenly turned red, and she couldn’t help but burst into tears. “I feel the same way!”

“What?!” Xia Dongchun had originally wondered if Yun Ling was also reborn, but when he really heard it, he was still shocked. After reacting, he quickly pulled Yun Ling up and sat on the bed together, “Tell me what’s going on?”

If it were an ordinary day, Yun Ling would never dare to sit on the bed with Xia Dongchun, but she couldn't care less at the moment.

"My lady, in your last life, you... you were given a slap on the wrist by Concubine Hua, and then you were moved to the cold palace. Then I was sent to the Ministry of Punishment. Two years later, I went to the laundry department. Three years later, I was assigned to Concubine An's place. However, I only did odd jobs. It was not my turn to serve her closely."

As she spoke, Yun Ling couldn't help crying again. After finally stopping, she continued, "Then one day, I heard something I shouldn't have heard, and Concubine An found an excuse to beat me to death. But when I opened my eyes, I was back to the time before the young lady entered the palace."

"Princess An?" Xia Dongchun died early in her previous life and knew nothing about what happened in the palace later.

"Yes, that is the current An Da Ying." Yun Ling said.

"Her?" Xia Dongchun felt sorry for Yunling but was still shocked. However, she quickly pulled her thoughts back to her senses. "Yunling, you said she ordered someone to beat you to death?"

"Yes, but I don't regret it. If I hadn't been beaten to death, how could I have the honor of seeing you again?" Yun Ling wiped her tears, "I can live again this time, and I will never let you follow the same path as in the past life!"

"Yun Ling..." Xia Dongchun was very moved. The master and servant sat together and cried bitterly. About an incense stick of time had passed, Yun Ling suddenly reacted and immediately pushed Xia Dongchun away.

"My lady, let's wait until we pay our respects to the Empress tomorrow before discussing anything else," Yun Ling said anxiously. "If we cry like this today and our eyes become swollen, how can we pay our respects to the Empress tomorrow?"

"Yes!" Xia Dongchun was reminded by Yun Ling and quickly wiped away her tears, "Yun Ling, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to avenge you!"

Yun Ling hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. Although she really wanted to say that as long as Xia Dongchun was alive and well, she would have someone to rely on, she couldn't say it out loud when she saw Xia Dongchun with red eyes trying to promise her.

Forget it, what's the harm in making my mistress happy? After all, it won't hurt to talk about it.

"Okay, my lady, go to sleep quickly. I will have someone bring eggs for you to apply to your eyes tomorrow morning." Yun Ling let Xia Dongchun lie down, covered her with a quilt, and lowered the bed curtains before returning to her own couch.

But the two of them are destined to sleep uneasily tonight...

Yun Ling's excitement and emotion were all shattered when she saw Xia Dongchun sleeping on his back early the next morning.

"My lady, wake up quickly. We have to pack up and pay our respects to the Queen." Yun Ling watched for a while and couldn't understand why her mistress had clearly raised her lady according to the standards of a lady from a noble family, but her lady was still raised like this.

Unable to figure it out, Yun Ling decided to stop thinking about it and wake Xia Dongchun up first, otherwise it would be bad if she missed the time to pay her respects to the Queen.
