Xia Taoyuan had a nightmare. She dreamed that Chu Xingluo was stabbed in the chest with a sword, but she couldn't see who stabbed him. Blood was all over the floor. Chu Xingluo's face was pale and his eyes were closed. She hugged Chu Xingluo and shouted for help to the people around her, but the people around her didn't seem to hear her and no one noticed. She was extremely desperate. She put Chu Xingluo down and tried to grab a passerby, but as soon as she reached out to touch the person, the person suddenly turned into thousands of pieces and disappeared without a trace.

She was unwilling to give up, so she went to pull another person. Similarly, as soon as she touched that person, he suddenly turned into countless pieces and disappeared without a trace.

Xia Taoyuan was stunned. At this moment, fear spread all over her body. She couldn't believe the scene in front of her. She quickly returned to Chu Xingluo and just as she hugged Chu Xingluo in her arms, she found that Chu Xingluo also turned into thousands of pieces and disappeared in front of her eyes like the two pedestrians in front of her.

Xia Taoyuan couldn't accept what was happening in front of her. She cried and called Chu Xingluo, searching like crazy, until she was hoarse. Suddenly, it seemed as if she stepped on empty air, and her body fell rapidly downwards. There was endless darkness and dead silence all around her. Just when she was extremely anxious and panicked, the scene suddenly changed.

With the weak light, Xia Taoyuan turned her head and saw Chu Xingluo sleeping in front of her. Listening to his even breathing, Xia Taoyuan realized that she had a nightmare. Looking at Chu Xingluo's handsome face, Xia Taoyuan felt a sense of surprise as if she had regained what she had lost.

But the scene in her dream really made her break out in a cold sweat. She comforted herself that it was just a dream, but she couldn't fall asleep.

Xia Taoyuan leaned towards Chu Xingluo and accidentally touched Chu Xingluo's head with her face.

"Are you dreaming?" Chu Xingluo woke up. He was a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest noise.

Xia Taoyuan tried hard to force a smile: "Yeah, I dreamed about you."

Chu Xingluo held her in his arms: "Are you having a nightmare?" Then he reached out and touched her forehead.

Xia Taoyuan was stunned and asked, "How do you know?"

"You're so scared that you're sweating. What kind of dream did you have? Was it scary?" Chu Xingluo was a little worried. He immediately stood up and got a sweat towel to wipe the sweat from her forehead and neck. Only then did he feel relieved.

Xia Taoyuan hugged Chu Xingluo's arm and said, "I often have messy dreams, all about strange things, nothing special." She didn't tell the truth. She didn't want to talk about what she dreamed of. She was afraid that if she said it, it would become true.

After all this trouble, Xia Taoyuan was tired and fell asleep in Chu Xingluo's arms.

Early in the morning on the second day of the New Year, Xia Taoyuan and Chu Xingluo returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After meeting Prime Minister Wei and Madam Wei, Xia Taoyuan, Wei Jing and Lu Qing'er chatted for a long time until Madam Wei urged Wei Jinghe to take Qing'er back to the general's mansion.

Chu Xingluo went to the study with Prime Minister Wei.

Mrs. Wei took Xia Taoyuan's hand and said, "Before the Lantern Festival, I want to go see Ying'er."

Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "I'll go with my mother."

"I want to stay longer this time, so you don't have to go." Mrs. Wei patted her hands.

After Mrs. Wei said this, Xia Taoyuan did not insist any more.

She asked Mrs. Wei tentatively: "Mother, have you told Qing'er about me and Sister Zhiying?"

Madam Wei shook her head and said, "Jinghe and I have discussed this and will tell Qing'er the truth before we go to see Zhiying this time."

Xia Taoyuan nodded and said, "This matter really shouldn't be hidden from Qing'er."

After having dinner with Prime Minister Wei and his wife at the Prime Minister's residence, Chu Xingluo took Xia Taoyuan back home.

On the way, Xia Taoyuan asked, "I wonder how my uncle and aunt are doing in the suburbs?"

Chu Xingluo smiled lightly: "They are very good."

"That's good. Next, I just hope that the emperor will agree to the marriage between Lao Wu and Qing'er. If the emperor agrees, uncle will have nothing else to ask for." Xia Taoyuan said, looking at Chu Xingluo.

Chu Xingluo's eyes flickered slightly, he didn't respond, and then seemed to fall into deep thought.

Xia Taoyuan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't reply directly. Did his behavior mean that Xiao Feng still had unfulfilled wishes? Kill Empress Wei? Or force Chu Xingluo to seize the position of crown prince?

Recalling the dream he had, Xia Taoyuan's heart began to pound and he became anxious.

"Stop the car!" Xia Taoyuan suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xingluo asked after he had recovered from his shock.

"Let Long Yan change his route to Guanyin Temple." Xia Taoyuan was a little anxious.

"Okay!" Chu Xingluo stood up, lifted the curtain and informed Long Yan to go to the Guanyin Temple.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Chu Xingluo sat back next to Xia Taoyuan and asked with concern.

"Well, I feel a little uneasy. Let me ask for a talisman." Xia Taoyuan said.

Chu Xingluo took Xia Taoyuan into his arms and said softly, "You probably had a dream last night and didn't sleep well. Sleep in my arms for a while. I'll call you when it's time."

Xia Taoyuan closed her eyes obediently.

When they arrived at the Guanyin Temple, Chu Xingluo woke up Xia Taoyuan.

The two got out of the car and walked towards the temple. Although it was New Year, there were many people coming to burn incense and worship Buddha. When they arrived at the temple, Xia Taoyuan asked Long Yan to donate some money for incense, and they bowed to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas when they saw them, asking them to bless Chu Xingluo with safety and health.

When they arrived at a side hall, there was a monk holding a few amulets. Xia Taoyuan walked up to him, clasped his hands together, and bowed, asking for a amulet.

The monk looked her over and said, "Good, good, you are a donor with boundless blessings and are blessed by the Bodhisattva. You do not need a peace amulet to add to your happiness."

Upon hearing this, Xia Taoyuan recalled that when she first arrived in Beiyue Kingdom, she and Wei Qing and her daughter came to the Guanyin Temple to pray for amulets. The old monk also said that she had the blessing of the guardian mantra.

"I'm begging for my husband." Xia Taoyuan pulled Chu Xingluo over.

Seeing this, the monk took out a talisman, folded it, burned some incense, and handed it to Chu Xingluo. Chu Xingluo took it and looked at Xia Taoyuan.

"Keep it safe and don't lose it." Xia Taoyuan said.

Chu Xingluo took it in his arms as he was told, and he looked at Xia Taoyuan.

"Do you want to know why I can't ask for a peace amulet myself? I don't know. But I guess it may be related to Wei Zhiying. She was the daughter of the prime minister and should have lived a peaceful and wealthy life. But because she prayed to Guanyin Bodhisattva to be with Xia Boqing, I came here to replace her. Maybe some of her good luck has come to me." Xia Taoyuan said.

She added: "This is all just my guess."

Chu Xingluo didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them returned to the palace in a carriage.

When they arrived at Yunjun City, it was already dark, but the noisy voices made Xia Taoyuan curious and lifted the curtain to look out. She was delighted to see that it was a lantern festival, with all kinds of strangely shaped lanterns, which were particularly beautiful. There were people dressed in bright clothes and looking happy, and there were also small vendors selling all kinds of food and toys.

"Do you like it? If you like, let's get off the car and take a look?" Chu Xingluo asked gently.

"I like it." Xia Taoyuan was very happy.

"It happens every year, starting from the night of the first day of the new year and lasting until after the Lantern Festival." Chu Xingluo said patiently.

The two got off the carriage and walked and looked around, and were shocked by the lights of various shapes. They were colorful and beautiful. The ancients had a rich imagination. Xia Taoyuan felt a little regretful that he didn't have a mobile phone camera. Such a beautiful scene should really be recorded.

"Lolo, look at this lantern, does it look like a little fat pig?" Xia Taoyuan saw a chubby lantern that looked like a little pig, so cute that it made people laugh. She wanted Chu Xingluo to take a look, but when she turned around, he was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Taoyuan was a little panicked. She looked around but couldn't find any trace of the man. Just as she was getting anxious, she turned around and saw the man standing in front of her with a string of candied haws in his hand and a smile on his face.

Xia Taoyuan was stunned. This scene was like a dream, and it was very appropriate for Xin Qiji's poem "Qingyu'an Lantern Festival". I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, but when I turned around, he was standing in the dim light.

Xia Taoyuan was moved by the scene, and walked over to hug Chu Xingluo's waist, looking up and saying: "It's great to have you here."

Chu Xingluo's smile was as bright as the stars. He held Xia Taoyuan in one hand and handed her the candied haws with the other hand, saying, "Eat while you enjoy the lanterns."

Xia Taoyuan took it with a smile and walked forward with Chu Xingluo.
