Chunyin became very sure that his Xiang-er was out of the water prison when he took a closer look at An Jia Li's wrist, which was still blue, not only that her palms were even pale and the skin on her fingers had already created scars to indicate she had had enough. been in the water for a long time. Even though it was only for an hour, Chunyin really didn't know what made his Xiang-er have to enter the water prison.
Chunyin was about to move An Jia Li onto the bed, but when he saw the mattress was still wet and cold as before, he became even more emotional. I don't know what happened, but for sure Chunyin began to feel doubtful and strange whether the current Feng emperor was really her other self?, because his past self would never let go of her control over his Xiang-er.
In the past he could only keep an eye on his Xiang-er secretly, and even now he became even more unable to do anything. Chunyin felt like a failure. He was angry with himself for being like useless trash.
Instead of drowning in his feelings, Chunyin racked his brains and took he robes to give to An Jia Li to warm up, after which she was silent for a while to think again.
In the first place, what Chunyin was doing right now was to follow her turbulent desires. While he was angry with himself, Chunyin decided to go see another 'himself'. He wanted to confirm whether his other self was the form of his past who loved his Xiang-er or not.
At a time like this, in the past. Chunyin had a habit of always getting out of he blankets and going quietly into the courtyard to pick the flowers he planted to give to his Xiang-er while she was asleep because they were very good as air purifiers, even their scent was great for making one's sleep sound. Not only that, even his Xiang-er always likes the flower to be placed in the water so that it has a longer period of time after being pulled from the roots.
Chunyin sneaked off to the Da Huo pavilion, and for the first time she was very grateful that the guard around Da Huo's pavilion was not as strict as he had previously ordered so there wouldn't be a lot of soldiers guarding his palace especially near his room. Chunyin likes silence. And because of this silence, Chunyin became more comfortable in moving.
Once there, Chunyin found that his other self was exactly the same as before. His other self was in the yard but the difference was that he didn't pick flowers and just sat quietly looking at something in his hand.
"Isn't that… that, really is a moon jade pendant!" Chunyin thought after realizing the pendant that glowed in the moonlight.
Chunyin's heart whispered, "No. Forget about that for now… take a look. He's not the other you. He doesn't think about Xiang-er at all.! He doesn't pick flowers and-"
"All the flowers are dead" Chunyin mumbled continuing hia whisper as soon as he realized the flowers he planted were not well cared for. Chunyin grew suspicious that being reborn into this world as Li Xi was a strange thing. There was something he had to solve to find out the many things that were bothering him.
After the other self entered, Chunyin tried to get closer to eavesdrop and watch for a moment who this other self really was?, Is there something wrong with him and everything that happened to him?. and from there Chunyin realized and knew that her other self was not her but Jiang Yi. Instantly Chunyin went limp.
"Jiang Yi... Jiang Yi's brother?!" Chunyin thought.
Chunyin's mind immediately drifted off when news of the accident that killed Jiang Yi and An Jia Li reached her. Because of the news, Chunyin became desperate and decided to commit suicide, until he opened his eyes and fate made he go back to his current life.
"Is Xiang-er too…" Chunyin wondered if he current Xiang Lian was also his lover who had reincarnated into An Jia Li in his previous life. The later Chunyin thought about it, the more he head throbbed. He knew from the start that there was something strange about him being reborn in the current world even though he still didn't know what was making things weird. The current Chunyin could only think that maybe if her guess was right, his Xiang-er also still didn't have his old memories.
Because his mind was getting more and more confused, Chunyin got out of there as soon as possible before he made a mistake because his head was spinning so fast that Chunyin couldn't think. He should rest and go to a quiet place to think without anyone.
Chunyin decided to return to Li Yin palace first. At least he should be in a calm state if he thinks. Before he came back, Chunyin went to see his Xiang-er again who was still asleep. Chunyin got rid of the wet mattress and replaced the base with the existing blanket after which he moved his Xiang-er onto the bed so she wouldn't sleep on the cold floor.
After that, Chunyin put the flowers that she had taken in the remaining yard into the water container and left.
"Xiang-er, I'll be back to see you tomorrow" Chunyin whispered. He went to the starting point where he opened the teleportation array.
Some time after Chunyin left, An Jia Li woke up. Actually her had been awake since Chunyin made her bed, only that An Jia Li didn't have any good words and she heart was too noisy, so she could only pretend to sleep until Chunyin left.
An Jia Li looked at the ceramic container containing several blue and white flowers with a light blue color in the center. Then she also saw Chunyin's black cloak covering her. An Jia Li's face blushed involuntarily as she could smell that distinctive warm and fresh scent, like the scent of trees and some fruits in the forest in spring.
An Jia Li walked slightly towards the table and picked up a flower that was floating on the water in the container. An Jia Li thought that the flower she was holding right now was almost similar to a camomille flower, only that the middle was blue instead of yellow.
"Xiang-er…" An Jia Li muttered in a slightly low voice. She could hear the whispers of Chunyin's voice before leaving calling her by that name, but unfortunately An Jia Li still had no memories of her past so she was a little sad because she thought that the woman that Emperor Li Xi loved was not her, but the servant girl in the novel. This one named Xiang Lian.
"Too bad, only his body is called Xiang Lian while she soul is An Jia Li" muttered An Jia Li, and her finally admitted that he really had fallen in love with Emperor Li's character so An Jia Li became a little jealous when her clearly knew that emperor Feng and even emperor Li, they loved Xiang Lian's figure, not her.
"May I love you, Your Majesty Li Xi?"
An Jia Li was silent pensive. Her selfish feelings spoke, "even though you are only a fictional character, even if this world is only a dream world. Can you be a part of my story?, can I turn this story into mine?"
***
Weiheng, who did not know that Chunyin had returned to Li Yin's palace, had a disagreement so Weiheng still returned to Feng Long's palace to give Chunyin what he asked earlier to get some poison flowers that only grow in his yard in Li Yin palace.
Chunyin previously planned to use the poisonous plant to test life in the jade lake which would even have a certain effect on the 'other' inhabitants in the water because this flower plant has the property of attracting negative energy and can show how much positive energy is in the water.
Once he arrived and looked for Chunyin. Unfortunately, his actions were in vain as Weiheng couldn't find his master.
"Where did Your Majesty go?. Has he been to the jade lake?, but no way... these plants don't react at night"
Because Weiheng didn't know much about Feng Long's palace area and was afraid of making mistakes because of the very tight security system, Weiheng could only look elsewhere in a quiet, less guarded corner. Even Weiheng didn't expect that the corner of the palace that wasn't so tightly guarded was Emperor Feng's main residence.
"How can this place have so few guards?"
"Ah. That demon emperor must be very arrogant and thinks he doesn't need to have guards because he's enough on his own!" Dumal Weiheng. Just as Chunyin disliked the people of the Li empire, so the people of the Li Yi palace disliked the people of Feng.
Since it was almost morning, Weiheng decided to just go back. But who would have thought that once he turned himself into a silly person who slipped on moss from the rocks so that he fell into the pool.
Hearing a slight noise, Jiang Yi went outside and saw someone in his wet clothes coming out of the pool. Jiang Yi also became wary, but when he saw the flowers Weiheng had brought for some reason his alertness had diminished. He put his sword back in and stupidly called out to Weiheng.
"Who is there?"
"Come here to admit your mistake and you won't get a severe punishment" said Jiang Yi.
Weiheng was obviously shocked, moreover he realized whose voice it was and again, "It's terrible. My face cover is off!" Weiheng thought as he realized his face covering had fallen into the pool. So he could only walk backwards slowly, being careful not to fall again and reveal his face.
"Who are you?"
When Jiang Yi asked that, he actually got a pile of flowers attacking his face which Weiheng offered to make Jiang Yi lose his sight temporarily, and that's when Weiheng took the opportunity to run away.
"W-what is this?. is he some kind of secret fan of the emperor?" Jiang Yi thought innocently. He then took back stem after stalk of the lily-like flower and smiled as a memory he didn't realize flashed through, where he had experienced a situation quite similar to what had just happened and received a withered flower from a thief.
