Chapter 637: Don’t Cry, I’m Not Lying to You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Thinking of her previous nightmare, Yu Youyao’s eyes turned red again. “I-I had a nightmare.” She threw herself into her cousin’s arms again and cried until she was out of breath. “l dreamed that Grandmother brought me to the Duke Rongs Residence to attend the flower festival. An old woman dragged me into the crepe myrtle garden and forced me to meet the Third Prince.
Everyone scolded me and said that I shamelessly seduced the Third Prince. No matter how I explained, no one believed me.”
Thinking of the nightmare where the older Yao Yao couldn’t defend herself and was betrayed by everyone, Yu Youyao suddenly felt a sense of resentment.
Although it had only been a nightmare, she knew very well that without her cousin, she wouldn’t have ended up much better in reality than in her nightmare.
“Grandmother had a stroke, and her mouth was crooked. She couldn’t even speak properly. Yu Zongzheng was about to marry me to the Third Prince as his secondary consort. I was unwilling and wanted to die, but I couldn’t bear to part with Grandmother, so I planned to cut my wrist with a hairpin on the day of my marriage and let the Third Prince welcome a corpse into the residence. Everyone would know that it was the Third Prince who harmed me…”
She and the older Yao Yao were in different situations, but they would rather die than be dishonored.
Zhou Linghuai closed his eyes. In his mind, he seemed to be able to see the little girl crying helplessly and in despair. As she was used to enduring her grievances, she did not even dare to cry loudly in front of others. She had to find a place with no one around and whimper softly.
He seemed to be able to imagine that the little girl was sitting in the sedan chair. The blood on her wrist had also dyed the secondary consort’s red clothes bright and pure red.
Zhou Linghuai had a feeling that if he hadn’t interfered in the scheme of the Duke Rongs Residence, such a thing would very likely have happened.
For no reason, Zhou Linghuai felt a chill run down his spine.
He suddenly tightened his arms around the little girl in his arms. His big hand gently stroked her back. ‘Don’t cry. It was just a dream. It’s not real…”
Yu Youyao fell into her cousin’s arms and cried until her small body trembled. “Cousin didn’t have the spiritual dewdrop to nourish his body. In less than three years, he was already at the end of his life.. No one believed me. In order to protect me, Grandmother promised me to Song Mingzhao. Song Mingzhao wasn’t a good person. He locked me in the courtyard, took the blood from my heart, and gave it to Yu Jianjia. I was treated as a medicinal test subject. Chun Xiao died, and so did I. Song Mingzhao cut out my heart and used it as medicine…
Zhou Linghuai’s mind was constantly analyzing the possibility of her nightmare.
Without the spiritual dewdrop, his body would indeed be exhausted in three years at most. At that time, the arrangements in the capital would have been completed.
Next, the Great Zhou Dynasty would be in chaos.
He was living in the Yu Residence. He was about to die, and he could not die in the Yu Residence, Soon, he would return to Youzhou, and no one would be able to interfere in the Flower Festival in Duke Rongs Residence.
It was possible that Song Mingzhao did not care about Yu Youyao’s reputation. Just the medicinal test subject and using her heart as medicine parts were a little suspicious.
The little girl pouted and cried her heart out. Clearly, she was affected by the nightmare. Even reality and dreams were a little confusing to her.
“Don’t cry…” Zhou Linghuai’s heart ached. He had a glib tongue which was equivalent to a million soldiers. However, every time Yu Youyao cried, he was completely at his wit’s end.
His glib tongue was useless.
Buddhism had five senses, namely: eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
Due to the five senses, there were six consciousnesses, namely: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and intuition.
People with spirituality, kindness, and virtue were often more sensitive than others. There was a saying that went, “The heart moves the mind.” Therefore, this sixth consciousness was also known as a feeling.
Ordinary people only had five senses, and their sixth sense was often only their subconscious. They couldn’t even realize it.
A person with a strong subconscious had a very sharp “intuition” that could reap benefits from and avoid harm.
People with strong intuition often had “omens”, which were also knovm as “mind perception.” They received information beyond their five senses and could predict what was about to happen.
Such a capable person had been known since ancient times.
Most people only had a vague impression of their dreams after waking up. The only things they could remember clearly were often some fragments.
When Yu Youyao mentioned her nightmare, her logic was clear and matched reality very well.
In Zhou Linghuai’s opinion, as Yu Youyao was so deeply affected by this ridiculous dream. it was very likely not a simple dream. It might be an omen.
People who were clear-minded, intelligent, kind, and virtuous often had fewer distracting thoughts and stronger intuition. Yu Youyao was such a person.
Grandmaster Hui Neng, Mr. Xian Yun, and even Hui Ji had all said that Yu Youyao was fated with Buddha.
Previously, he had also felt that it made sense for Yu Youyao to be spiritual and fated with Buddha. However, from the looks of it, this “Buddhist fate” should be related to intuition.
Realistically speaking, this nightmare was just a big dream.
However, the omen made Yu Youyao experience those nightmares in her illusory dream. Therefore, after Yu Youyao woke up, she couldn’t differentiate between nightmare and reality.
It was both real and fake. It was difficult to tell if it was real or fake.
“Don’t cry.” Zhou Linghuai had no choice but to treat all of this as a ridiculous dream. “Look, the nightmare and reality are the opposite.” In the nightmare, her cousin’s life was already ending.
However, in reality, her cousin was still doing well!
In her nightmare, she had damaged her reputation.
However, in reality, the Duke Rongs Residence had been stripped of its title, Consort Xu and the Third Prince had been imprisoned, and Yang Shuwan had also been locked up in the Tranquil Heart Residence.
Her cousin was right. Her dream and reality were the opposite.
Yu Youyao cried badly and vented her emotions. However, she had cried too miserably just now. She had restrained her tears, but she was still sobbing, and her thin body was trembling.
However, Zhou Linghuai’s heart ached terribly. “1 said 1 would protect you for the rest of my life. I won’t go back on my word.”
Unexpectedly, when Yu Youyao heard this, the tears that she had just restrained rushed out of her eyes again. Her voice was hoarse from crying, and even her tone was broken. “You’re lying. It’s impossible for you to protect me for the rest of my life. You’re not Zhou Linghuai at all, nor are you my cousin. You’re Yin Huaixi, the heir of King Li of Zhou, and Yue Fei, who was personally conferred the title of King of the North by the emperor. It’s impossible for you to stay in the Yu Residence forever…”
Zhou Linghuai finally understood why his father always opened his mouth and said, “Only villains and women are difficult to raise…”
Damn it!
“You lied to me. Liar! Sooner or later, you’ll leave me behind and leave the capital.” As Yu Youyao cried, she punched him angrily. After hitting him a few times, even her hand hurt. She felt aggrieved. “You’re bullying me…”
“Don’t cry. I’m not lying to you.” Zhou Linghuai was worried that her hand would hurt, so he quickly held her wrist.
His thin wrist felt small in his hand.
Zhou Linghuai panicked and subconsciously exerted less strength. He was worried that he would accidentally break such a weak wrist and hurt it..
