Shen Miao nodded.
“Do you feel any pain?” Xie Jingxing asked, “Should I get Gao Yang to take a look at you?”
He usually looked lazy and indifferent to everything, but now, he looked anxious. Shen Miao said, “No need. I’m fine.” Then, she asked, “How is Mr. Pei?” Xie Jingxing’s face immediately darkened.
When Shen Miao saw his expression change, she was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization. She did not know how to explain. Was Pei Lang hateful? Of course he was. In her previous life, he took the blood from her fingertip and gave it to Consort Mei. Although she did not know if Consort Mei’s “borrowing her fate” was true, he helped the evil doer nonetheless.
Shen Miao’s feelings for Pei Lang were very complicated. She could forgive Pei Lang for what he did to her, but not what he did to Fu Ming. However, in the end, Pei Lang used his life to give her a chance to start over.
Shen Miao couldn’t quite describe her feelings. She didn’t want to own Pei Lang anything, nor did she want Pei Lang to owe her anything. It was time to let go of what happened in her previous life. She remembered very clearly that when the child-like assassin pounced on her, it was Pei Lang who took the blow for her. If Pei Lang died because of her, she would never be able to say goodbye to her previous life.
However, looking at Xie Jingxing’s expression, Shen Miao knew that he had misunderstood.
She quickly stroked his face and explained, “He saved my life. He’s my savior after all. If he’s dead because of me, I’ll be tormented by guilt.”
Only then did Xie Jingxing’s expression soften. He said, “Gao Yang has checked him. He woke up once last night. He’s lucky that he’s fine.” He glanced at Shen Miao. “On the other hand, you’ve been unconscious for a long time. If you still won’t wake up, I think I’ll go and cut off that Daoist priest’s head.”
“Daoist priest?” Shen Miao was stunned. “Are you talking about Daoist Priest
Chi Yan?”
Xie Jingxing said disdainfully, “He’s just a charlatan.” The so-called “Daoist priest” left Prince Rui’s mansion early this morning. Before he left, he even took the top-grade antique vase in the hall as a reward.
After hearing from Xie Jingxing that the Daoist priest had taken a vase away,
Shen Miao was a little puzzled. That long dream solved many of her questions. As a matter of fact, the dream might not necessarily be true, but for some reason, Shen Miao felt that everything that happened in the dream was the complete story of her previous life.
She had indeed met that Daoist priest on the way back to Ming Qi from the
State of Qin. She thought that he was a refugee who had disguised himself as a Daoist priest to beg for a living. She was kind and gave him water and food, but she did not expect him to be involved in so many things.
If she had really listened to that Daoist priest in her previous life and did not set foot on the road back to the capital, she probably would not have had to go through all that pain. However, if she had to do it all over again, even if she knew that it was a path to hell, she would still do the same, because her children were both in the palace..
