"After all... with my madness at that ti, the more grateful I was, the more love faded, becoming harder to control. With the passage of ti, there will inevitably co a day when I will completely lose my mind."
"Her kindness to is beyond what the words ’kindness’ can encompass. She occupies a particularly important place in my life, and her weight in my heart has long surpassed the majority of people, even beyond myself!"
The Ninth Princess finished these words, then sighed again.
"So be it then!"
"When the world becos stable. Let her live the life she wishes for then!"
The Ninth Princess’s eyes were slightly red. She whispered softly in a voice barely audible: "In the end, it’s I who rely on her too much... ’waiting’ for this world to be stable, ’waiting’ for this world to be stable... after all, the essence lies in the word ’waiting’."
She knew that although internal discord had mostly been resolved, the external threat was still an enormous problem that could not be ignored. With her strength alone, she had no confidence to achieve victory.
She ultimately still had to rely on Baowei’s strength!
But who would know? How hard it was for her in her heart?
Her distress wasn’t because of the power Dong Huiying wielded, nor because she feared her lifelong friend, once like a sister, would overshadow her. But because she truly, really never wanted to see that person suffer even the slightest harm again...
She had already endured too much for her. She had been covered in scars before, knife wounds, sword wounds, whip scars, flesh wounds... every scar etched on her body and also branded in her heart.
"A caged bird, it’s ti to fly..." the Ninth Princess murmured softly, then gazed into the long sky, silent for a long ti...
.........
"My goodness!"
In Nanling City.
Shujun opened the envelope, unfolded the letter, and couldn’t help but exclaim after just reading the beginning.
"Hmm... what’s going on?"
Dong Huiying was napping and, upon hearing the exclamation, sleepily opened her weary dark eyes.
Shujun pressed his pounding little heart, quickly lowered his voice, shook his head desperately, and said, "Nothing, nothing, it’s nothing! Did I wake you up? From the look of you, you haven’t slept enough. Co, lie in my arms, and I’ll lull you back to sleep!"
His expression flickered, but Dong Huiying was now fully awake.
She knew him too well, surely there was sothing fishy!
"What’s the matter, really?" Dong Huiying propped herself up, leaned over, and glanced at the letter in his hand.
Shujun shrank his neck, then stuck out his tongue and shrugged before handing over the letter. "See for yourself, this ti elder brother really pulled off sothing big."
"Is it related to Zhi Chen?" She tilted her head to look at Shujun, then took the letter and quickly read the words on the page.
After a long while...
Dong Huiying opened her mouth wide in shock, murmuring: "He actually wiped out the Eighth Princess’s stronghold??"
Shujun smiled until his eyes were like crescent moons: "In fact, I had a hunch long ago. Back when Yixuan rushed over from the Capital, but elder brother chose to stay, I knew he must be planning sothing big! But I never expected, elder brother would make moves this significant!"
Dong Huiying couldn’t help imitating Shujun’s gesture, pressing her chest to calm her racing heart. "I think, if this keeps going, it won’t be long before I get a heart attack!"
