Chapter 2256: The Past Life 181

She stroked her chest gently as her heart throbbed with pain.

“Ninth Emperor…”

The door to the room was pushed open, and the young man anxiously entered the room, instantly reaching the bed, and pulling the Ninth Emperor into his arms.

The Ninth Emperor’s body stiffened. She slowly closed her eyes…

As soon as she thought of the scene of Nan Changfeng falling in a pool of blood, she found it painfully hard to breathe. She clutched his sleeve tightly.

“What happened to you just now? I was next to you and heard your voice…”

The young man’s voice was gentle, and he looked down at the Ninth Emperor in his arms.

The Ninth Emperor did not push him away…

It seemed that she woke up after being awakened by a nightmare.

“Don’t worry. I just had a nightmare…”

It was just that the dream was too real. So real that… It was a little difficult for her to forget.

“Nan Changfeng…” She raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her. “In the future, no matter what happens, you can’t leave Cloud Mountain.”

That scene in her memory was not within Cloud Mountain.

It was in some other place.

That place was also vaguely familiar, but she could not seem to recall it…

The young man nodded thoughtfully. “Alright.”

Hearing this, the Ninth Emperor was relieved. As long as Nan Changfeng did not leave Cloud Mountain, then her dream would not come true.

No matter what, she could not let anything happen to Nan Changfeng!

This young man had long been a part of Cloud Mountain. He was also a… A very important person in her life.

“Ninth Emperor, what dream did you have?” Nan Changfeng frowned and asked.

The Ninth Emperor shook her head and laughed. “It’s nothing. It was just a dream. The dreams are all opposite of what will happen.”

It was not known whether she was saying this to Nan Changfeng, or she was comforting herself.

Even after saying these words, she had still not regained her composure, and the scene of Nan Changfeng falling in a pool of blood was still in her mind.

“Are you sure?”

The young man was a bit suspicious, feeling as if the Ninth Emperor was hiding something he did not know from him.

The Ninth Emperor smiled and said, “It’s true. If there is nothing else, you can go back to rest first. Ask Dongfang Yu to see me.”

The young man raised his hand and caressed the Ninth Emperor’s head, smiling gently.

The Ninth Emperor thought this young man’s smile was like sunshine and could easily warm her heart.

So, she did not dare to imagine that he might no longer be there someday…

After seeing that the Ninth Emperor was fine, the young man sighed in relief and left.

Half a minute later, Dongfang Yu came and asked respectfully, “Ninth Emperor, are you looking for me?”

“Mhm…”

The Ninth Emperor picked up a brush and a piece of paper from the side and drew a jade pendant on the paper.

She handed this paper to Dongfang Yu. “Go and investigate this jade pendant. Find out who in this mainland owns this jade pendant.”

She had no way to recall that person in her dream. But the only thing she saw clearly was this jade pendant.

This jade pendant was somewhat unique as it had a dragon head on it. The material was also costly and worth a lot of money.

Not many people could own it.

She must first find out the owner, and then from it, she could find the person in the dream.

Initially, this was just a dream, so she did not need to care too much. However, she did not know why she was particularly concerned about this dream. She somehow felt that the dream would come true…

Therefore, she had to find out the person in the dream.

Dongfang Yu hesitated, but she did not ask anything more. “Yes, Ninth Emperor.”
