Wen Yuan's eyes were sunken and her face was sallow. She didn't show any happiness of becoming a mother, but rather looked like a terminally ill person.

"Sister-in-law, why have you lost so much weight?" The worry on Li Heng's face was genuine. He had never seen Wen Yuan like this before.

There was no light in her eyes.

When Wen Yuan looked at him before, her eyes were filled with fondness, the love a sister-in-law has for her brother. Later, her eyes were filled with hatred, a desire to tear his skin off. But now, her eyes were empty of sadness or joy. She looked at him as if he were a wooden stake, unable to stir up any emotion.

Why is this happening? Li Heng is puzzled.

Li Heng looked at her belly. Since she was still young and it was winter, she was wearing thick clothes, so she didn't look pregnant at all.

Wen Yuan let him look at her, leaning lazily on the chaise longue, staring out the window in a daze.

"What are you here for?"

"I'm here to say goodbye."

"Oh, where do you want to go?" Wen Yuan didn't care where he was going, he just asked casually.

"frontier."

"Wish you a safe journey."

After a long time, Wen Yuan was tired of looking out the window. After she became pregnant, her waist always ached after staying in the same position for a long time.

When she turned around, she found that Li Heng had not left yet.

Wen Yuan wanted to pretend that he didn't see it and was about to ask someone to help him up.

Unexpectedly, Li Heng suddenly knelt down in front of her.

"Prince Ruiping, what do you mean?"

Li Heng knelt straight, "Sister-in-law, the cause of Xingyao's death has been found."

"Yeah." Wen Yuan's voice was light, without the previous aggressiveness and anger.

She lowered her eyes and accidentally caught a glimpse of the double-moon and star-shaped jade pendant on Li Heng's waist.

Ji Xingyao's name contains the character "星", so Li Heng specially asked a craftsman to make this jade pendant with a double moon and a ring of stars.

I still remember the surprise in Ji Xingyao's eyes when he first saw the jade pendant.

She said, "Ayuan, Li Heng is so good to me. He must be my soulmate."

Wen Yuan tapped Ji Xingyao, whose eyes were filled with love, and ruthlessly reminded him, "It's just a way for the young master of aristocratic family to win people's hearts. After traveling through time for so long, you still haven't seen through it?"

"So what? He's willing to put in the effort for me, and I'm willing to buy into it. It's a two-way game. A-Yuan, you're just too rational. It's not bad to occasionally fall in love and experience the joy of dopamine."

Was it good? Wen Yuan was puzzled at the time.

Now it seems that the happiness brought by dopamine is a short-lived bubble. When the bubble is popped, it is replaced by heartbreaking pain. This happiness is better left alone.

I haven't seen Li Heng wearing the Double Moon and Ring Star jade pendant for many years. I don't know why he wore it today.

Wen Yuan had no interest in this.

This month, compared to the stagnant Yonghe Palace, the Ruiping Palace is a little too lively.

Li Zhao promised Wen Yuan that he would find out the cause of Ji Xingyao's death, and he kept his promise.

The prefect submitted a case investigation memorial every day. After Li Zhao read it, Eunuch Zhou sent it to Yonghe Palace.

In addition, the system occasionally reveals Su Jinyun's current situation, so Wen Yuan knows everything about Ruiping Palace.

After the dream weaving started, Su Jinyun had nightmares every night.

At first, she didn't take it seriously, thinking she was hallucinating from being exhausted from sitting vigil for so many days. But coming from a family of doctors, she was well versed in medicine and prescribed a sleeping pill for herself.

Unexpectedly, the medicine that was supposed to work quickly suddenly lost its effect. Not only did it not work, but it also made her fall into a coma and trapped in a nightmare.

Gradually, she became sensitive and suspicious, always feeling that Ji Xingyao was standing behind her.

"Nurse, hurry, hurry and drive her away, ah, ah, hurry and drive her away." Su Jinyun hid in the quilt in fear, revealing two big eyes like copper bells, with dark circles on her face that did not go away for a long time.

"Miss, there's no one here." The wet nurse was exhausted both physically and mentally by the neurotic Su Jinyun.

In the past half month, the wet nurse had to sleep with Su Jinyun at night. She was either woken up by her pinching or yelling in the middle of the night. The dark circles under their eyes were getting bigger and bigger.

"Nurse, why don't you believe me? She is really there. Why can't you see her? Why?" Su Jinyun shouted desperately and threw the things at hand at the nurse.

The nurse had a large bump on her forehead from the teacup she had been hit with yesterday. She felt so miserable she could only bite the bullet and offer comfort, "Miss, we've looked everywhere, and there's really nothing there. If you don't believe me, just look for yourself."
