My elder sister forced me to become a concubine; I was reborn and remarried into the emperor's

Wei Nanxun desperately wanted to open her eyes to see what was happening, but her eyelids were too heavy to open.

She could sense someone behind her, a huge body, slowly approaching her.

Until he completely embraced her.

She didn't know if the water was too hot or if she was just too hot, but she felt like she couldn't breathe.

At this moment, she was like a fish out of water, her throat parched.

Her hands were also limp and powerless, and the person behind her was like a wall. Her attempts to push him were like tickling him, having no effect whatsoever.

Instead, he let both of her hands fall into his palms.

He seemed to conjure a red ribbon out of thin air, and very easily tied it around her wrist, then knotted it, so she couldn't break free no matter what she did.

Her back was pressed against his chest, and there was no space between them.

Wei Nanxun felt those large hands gently caressing her waist.

She was already sensitive, and with her eyes closed, her other senses were amplified, making her acutely aware of every touch of those calloused fingers.

It's tingling and numb, with an indescribable stimulating sensation.

She was like a taut bowstring, biting her lower lip, not daring to let out a single sound.

Until those hands pried her chin up and bit her lips without any hesitation.

He forcefully parted her teeth, his tongue plunging deep inside, as if trying to absorb all her breath, sucking and licking her bit by bit, making her breathless.

Was it only one person who would kiss her like that? Was it him?

Tears welled up in Wei Nanxun's eyes as she tried to hold back her emotions, and she groggily opened her eyes a crack.

All I could see was a cloud of white mist; I couldn't make out anything.

Just when she thought she was still in a fog, the scene before her eyes changed, and she could see everything clearly.

The sky seemed to have a huge hole, and raindrops the size of beans kept falling down. This seemed to be a valley, even steeper than the one on White Horse Mountain, with cliffs on all sides.

The whole thing was shaped like a big bowl, and she was placed at the very bottom of it, surrounded by an eerily empty space.

Where is she? Who brought her to this place?

Just as she was losing her way, the ground seemed to shake, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves came from not far behind her.

Wei Nanxun looked in the direction of the sound and saw a long line of cavalry marching in formation toward the valley.

She couldn't see the person on horseback clearly, but from their clothing, she could tell that they were not soldiers of the Great Yan, or at least not the soldiers stationed in the capital that she had seen before.

Having finally spotted someone, she naturally wanted to ask for directions and help.

But strangely, she couldn't make a sound or move at all.

They seemed oblivious to her and continued advancing in her direction, leaving her helpless as the leader of the cavalry rode his horse over her.

Wei Nanxun closed her eyes resignedly, but the pain she had imagined did not come; the entire cavalry passed right through her.

She belatedly opened her eyes and looked back.

Just then, a deafening sound rang out, followed by countless boulders rolling down from the cliff tops on all four sides of the valley.

It hurtled straight down on the soldiers, throwing the once spirited troops into chaos. They were all flesh and blood; how could they withstand such a massive boulder?

The pitiful cries echoed in my ears, and all I could see was the color of blood.

no, do not want!

"Girl, girl, girl, what's wrong?"

Zhixia's anxious voice was right next to her ear, and Wei Nanxun suddenly woke up. Her consciousness was still immersed in the bloody scene, and she didn't react for a moment.

It wasn't until I looked around and realized I was still in the bathtub that I felt a sense of reality.

"I...I'm asleep?"

"Yes, I went to get some hot water and came back to add some water for you. I found you asleep leaning against the edge of the bathtub, and you kept muttering 'no,' which scared me to death."

Wei Nanxun was still stunned. So, what she had just sensed was all a dream?

Even the things that were done to her in the beginning, like hugging and kissing her—were all just dreams?!

Whether she admits it or not, she knows very well in her heart who the person who appeared in her dream and was so intimate with her is.

She not only had dreams, but also erotic dreams, and the person in her dreams was Pei Ji!

This was completely unacceptable to her; she felt both ashamed and shocked.

The water in the bucket had long since cooled from warm to slightly cool, and she plunged in again, wanting to use the cool water to thoroughly wash her dazed mind!

"Young lady, the water is already cold. You'll catch a cold if you soak in it any longer."

Waaah, it's best to catch a cold; if I'm sick, I won't have to face this shameful version of myself.

But Zhixia still managed to pull her out, wiped off the water droplets, and carefully wrung out her long hair little by little.

"What happened to you just now? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Should I go and call the doctor?"

Wei Heyu's foot hasn't fully healed, and the doctor lives in their West Garden, so it's convenient to call him in now.

Wei Nanxun, however, shook her head immediately, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "No need, I was just dreaming..."

"I was frightened."

Upon hearing this, Zhixia frowned and asked worriedly, "What kind of dream is so frightening? Are you having a nightmare?"

She had heard rumors that nightmares could be terrifying, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared, as she had almost caused a major disaster.

Wei Nanxun tried her best to ignore the previous dream. To be precise, she wasn't lying; the scene she dreamed about later was indeed terrifying.

“I dreamt that many soldiers were ambushed in the valley, their blood flowed like rivers, and their bodies were nowhere to be found.”

Yes, it was an ambush.

At first, she thought it was a ground fissure or a landslide, but recalling the details of her dream, she remembered that she had seen a dark shadow above the cliff. Someone had used flint to blast open the rocks, which caused so many soldiers to be attacked by boulders and none of them survived.

When Zhixia saw that Zhixia's expression was not quite right when she recounted the scene, she even felt cold sweat on her back.

He looked like he was still lost in a dream, which was really frightening.

He quickly and gently patted her back to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, girl, it's just a dream, it's all fake."

"We have the Regent Prince here. Now that he has secured the capital, there will be no internal strife within the Great Yan territory, and the borders are very stable, so there will be no war."

Upon hearing Pei Ji's name, Wei Nanxun unconsciously recalled the scene of their entanglement in her dream, and immediately forgot all her fear.

She also felt that what Zhixia said made sense. With Pei Ji in charge, no one would be foolish enough to seek their own death.

She dried her hair and went to bed. Zhixia lit some calming incense by the bedside, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

But I couldn't fall asleep no matter how much I tossed and turned, not for any other reason than that the last dream was too real, as if I were actually there.

She seemed to have never heard of such a thing in her previous life, until her death...

Wei Nanxun suddenly opened her eyes. No, it seems there was a past life.

Shortly before she was given the poison, Prince Su, Pei Ji, led his troops to aid the Crown Prince of the Northwest, but was ambushed halfway there, and all five thousand soldiers perished...
