Chapter 22 - Hui Orchard

"Yanyu, forget him already, he'll never love you as much as I do." I wonder why someone is telling me those foreign words, and who is that person he's talking about? Even though I can hear his voice, I can't see his face, and it's in a big void.

He suddenly holds my hand and lifts some of my hair, and I was shocked to know that my hair turned to gold. He then kissed it and held my hand tightly.

"Yanyu!" Suddenly, someone came out of nowhere.

I also can't see his face, but why does there have to be water flowing from my eyes, and why does my chest hurt so much?

I retrieved my hand from the person earlier and tried to go near the person who called my name, but before I could, there was another sound that came out of nowhere.

"My lady," when I open my eyes, I saw Min er with very worried eyes, and she looks like she's on the verge of crying, then I noticed the water droplets that are flowing from my eyes.

Why? There's nothing sad, but why am I crying? Is it related to my dream, but what did I dream about again?

"My lady, I'm so worried you're whimpering in your sleep. I thought you were having a nightmare." I just stood up and comforted her. These days, she's not being herself. I always make her worry.

Ah! That's right, I attended the birthday banquet of the Jin Wangye. How come I'm here? The last thing I remember is I'm waiting for Min er, then someone came, and then… did I pass out?

"Min er what happened? Why am I in my room already?" She looks worried.

"There's nothing wrong, my lady, you just immediately doze off inside the carriage while waiting for me." I hint at something different from her eyes; it feels like she's hiding something. Is there finally a reason for me to worry about her?

"My… my lady, do you want to have a stroll in the palace?" I just look at her for a second, then nod. I also want to have a look inside this castle, especially since the owner of this place is not here, yet I still have my freedom.

While strolling, I have found a very lovely place, a forest full of trees in their lively colors with a small pond, how refreshing. I really love nature; it doesn't look at people by their status but by their capabilities. I admire this kind of intoxicating place. I wonder when I will ever get the freedom that I have wanted all this time.

"My lady, do you like this Hui Orchard?" Min er asked, and I gave her a very warm smile, which I think surprised her.

I tried to get near the pond, and there I found a very lively KOI fish swimming, and I tried to sit down to look at them carefully.

"I wonder who entered the emperor's favorite place, it turns out to be you bitch, from the small country of SU." I didn't get a chance to get a hold of one of the KOI because of the voice from behind, and when I looked at Min er, she looked alarmed.

Who is it?
