"Fei Fei, you are so awesome! Lian Yi wants to stay with Fei Fei forever! We live next door to each other now, and we will also live next door to each other after we get married!" The little girl hugged her waist with bright eyes and said solemnly.

……

"Ling Junfei, don't get married, wow wow, why are you looking for a man so soon? Isn't having me enough?"

The little girl had red eyes and a pout on her face as Hulu held onto the girl in her bright red wedding dress and refused to let go.

Ling Junfei chuckled when she recalled this, but her eyes were drooping, as if there were tears in her eyes.

"Fei Fei, I rescued a man a few days ago. He's as beautiful as a vixen!"

……

"Fei Fei, I think I must have been bewitched by a vixen, otherwise why does my heart never stop beating when I see him!"

Ling Junfei rolled her eyes, "Even if you didn't see him, your heart wouldn't stop."

……

"He said he would repay you with his life-saving grace! Feifei, I want to go back to the capital with him."

"Why don't you just let that pretty boy marry into your family? Why go to Kyoto? We are not with you anymore."

"He will miss his family too! Okay, okay, Ling Junfei, are you jealous?"

……

"Fei Fei, it turns out he is a prince. I'm a little scared."

Ling Junfei hugged her gently, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyi. If you're not happy staying there, I'll take you home."

……

23 letters

Ling Junfei put them all neatly in her dowry box. When she took it out again, it turned out... thirty years had passed.

—I've noticed it gets colder here quicker than at home, and night falls faster too. It's so bustling here, with all the gorgeous jewelry and clothes. If only Feifei were here, I'd dress her up to make Lu Shizhang swoon. I'm sure he's not arguing with you now! I'll scold him to death when I get back!

——It’s so boring here! Li Shaoan is so busy every day, and I can’t go out because it would cause him trouble. It’s so boring!!!

I don't like Kyoto. I don't like the ladies I have to deal with every day. They all want to get close to Li Shaoan! Do you really think I'm blind? They and they look really pretentious. Fortunately, Li Shaoan comes home every night and joins me in scolding them. Humph, then forgive that kid.

—I’m having a baby! Feifei, did you know! I’m going to be a mother! I never thought I’d be a mother! I never thought I’d get pregnant before you. We agreed that after your baby is born, we’ll have a baby marriage! Oh, what should I do? I’m so nervous. I haven’t told Li Shaoan yet, and you see, the first thing I did was write to you. How loyal! Oh, I’m not going to write anymore. I’m going to go find Li Shaoan!

—Feifei, he brought a girl back, saying he wanted to take her as a concubine. He said… he wanted to fight for her. For the first time, I realized that my wife was of no use to him. He was still so gentle, assuring me that I would remain his only wife here. He was about to sleep with someone else, marry someone else, and they would have children together. What is an only wife? Feifei, I'm tired. I want to go home.

Ling Junfei stroked the letter paper and felt the handwriting on it. Her fingers were still trembling. She brought her back, but her child was gone.

From that day on, the little girl who loved to laugh never smiled at her again.

Later, Li Shaoan came to pick her up, and she left that night without saying goodbye to any of us.

She must hate her to death, otherwise why would she leave with someone she also hates so much.

Qiu Lianyi will also send her the subsequent envelopes. Maybe it’s too boring, so I can only write to her.

——The weather is very good today, and the sun is shining. Your Highness and I rarely have the opportunity to take a walk together. I don’t know what to say, and I don’t know why I feel depressed.

That woman is pregnant, and I'm pregnant too. The doctor said the baby should be born next spring. I don't like the winter here; it's too cold.

I still remember that she immediately sent someone to rush to deliver her thick winter clothes, but I didn't receive a reply to the letter for a long time.

She felt something was wrong at the time, but she comforted herself by saying that she should just live her own life.

Later, when Lu Shizhang accompanied her to sneak into the palace, they found out that Li Shaoan had really ascended the throne...but her Lianyi was not living in Fengyi Palace.

When she saw her again, she was haggard and looked very bad. She was wearing plain clothes. She used to... obviously love gorgeous and fancy clothes the most.

She wanted to take her away, but she refused.

The girl she had protected since she was a child, the girl who chattered with her every day, spoke to her.

"Ling Junfei, let's not see each other again. I don't want to lose my child again."

Ling Junfei had never felt so ridiculous. She turned around and left the capital with Lu Shizhang.

Later, the royal family encircled and suppressed them, saying that the imperial power was the destiny of the world, and that those who were dissatisfied in the local areas were all rebels.

What a rebel! Their so-called Mandate of Heaven was only saved by the rebels they mentioned.

In today's world, each place has its own powerful forces, including the old generation of families, organizations representing the rise of the humble, and major underworld associations...

And they were the first battle for the emperor to establish his authority.

……

The noble families who were unwilling to surrender were expelled and massacred. During that time, Ling Junfei had no time to care about Qiu Lianyi and fled everywhere with Lu Shizhang.

The next time they saw her, it was when several major forces united for the first time and took advantage of the chaos to encircle and suppress the imperial city. Blood and gas were flying in front of them, and flames shot up into the sky in the Fengyi Palace in the harem.

Lu Shizhang stood in front of her and fought. He could see that she was uneasy. The two of them had been together for a long time, and they could know each other's thoughts with just a glance.

Sharp arrows whizzed past my ears, swords clashed, screams rang out, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Ling Junfei clenched her fists and ran towards the harem. There was a raging war ahead. People in the harem were running away and there was no one to put out the fire.

She saw the only maidservant constantly pulling people to the fire, and then she was pushed to the ground. Ling Junfei didn't know what was going on, looking at the raging flames, she felt uneasy from the beginning.

She ran forward, helped the maid up, and hurriedly asked her which lady she was.

She cried and grabbed her sleeve, saying it was Empress Qiu, and begged her to save her Empress.

Ling Junfei ran towards the smoldering flames the moment she heard the word "Qiu". Clearly... wasn't she living in Fengyi Palace? Why, why was she the one inside...

When she saw Qiu Lianyi in red sitting there quietly and being engulfed by the fire, she could no longer remain calm.

"Get up and follow me."

She pulled them up and walked towards the door. The corners of their clothes were licked by the flames, and the thick smell of smoke in the air made them cough violently.

Ling Junfei held her shoulders and pushed her down, covering her mouth and nose with his other hand. Qiu Lianyi looked at her, her face red from the flames. Even though she kept coughing, she didn't let go of her hand. Qiu Lianyi turned her head to the side, not knowing whether it was the fire or the smoke that choked her, but she kept crying.

When they reached the door, Qiu Lianyi stopped there, and Ling Junfei shouted at her, "Stop making trouble at this time."

Qiu Lianyi had tears in her eyes, but she was smiling happily, just like the little girl who always acted coquettishly towards her.

"Fei Fei, my child is in my Yihua Palace. Please help me take him out to Qin Ruhai, my junior fellow apprentice."

There were so many words to say but they were all stuck in her throat. Seeing that the wooden eaves above her head was about to fall on the two of them, Qiu Lianyi used all her strength to push the man out.

Ling Junfei fell outside and lay on the ground. The last thing she saw was the wooden eaves that was many times bigger than her, which knocked her down. The little girl who was obviously so afraid of pain still smiled at her with her face tilted up.

"Fei Fei, I'm sorry."

She wanted to get up, but someone rushed in before her. His eyes were red, and he didn't care whether there was a fire on the wooden eaves. He pulled up his sleeves, and the fire burned his bare arms red.

"Senior Sister, hold on!"

The burnt wooden eaves were finally moved away by Qin Ruhai. Qin Ruhai held Qiu Lianyi in his arms, and his crying voice rang in Qiu Lianyi's ears.

"Senior Sister, Xiao Hai will take you home."

Qiu Lianyi half closed her eyelids. She had no strength left, and the only thing she felt was the tearing sensation on her back, which was holding her consciousness back.

"Xiao Hai, it was my senior sister who let you down before. You are a...good boy...If possible, please help me take care of...my child. Take her...out..." Don't come back.

Qiu Lianyi closed her eyes completely and lay peacefully in Qin Ruhai's arms.

"Senior sister, senior sister! Senior sister!" Qin Ruhai frantically shook the person in his arms. The wooden eaves in front collapsed one by one, blocking their way. Thick smoke billowed, and Qin Ruhai had just choked on a lot of thick smoke and kept coughing.

Just as he was hugging Qiu Lianyi and planning to die here with her, in the dense black smoke, the man stepped on the collapsing flames, with the tongues of fire chasing him from behind.

Qin Ruhai was rescued by Lu Shizhang, but Qiu Lianyi had to leave her aside because Li Shaoan and his men arrived. One was holding a child, and the other was carrying a wounded person.

The story recalls this point, and Ling Junfei put all the letters neatly back into the dressing box that came with her dowry.

No matter what, she can't ignore her child.
