Ye Siming didn’t even raise his head. He saw that Gu Nuo’er only frowned and didn’t seem to be waking up.

He freed one hand and slowly waved it, indicating for the maidservant to turn around and leave, not to talk too much.

The maidservant originally wanted to remind him to sleep on the bed in the outer room. Seeing Ye Siming like this, she didn’t dare to say anything and slowly left.

That night, when Gu Nuo’er turned over, Ye Siming looked up.

Her breathing slowed down and he used his hand to test her breathing again.

Gu Nuo’er mumbled in her sleep, but Ye Siming didn’t forget to listen.

It wasn’t until dawn that he confirmed that the child was really fine and wouldn’t die just like that.

Only then did Ye Siming take her hand away that was grabbing onto him weakly with a feeling of relief.

However, just as he removed her hand, the warm and soft touch disappeared.

Ye Siming frowned slightly as if he didn’t like the feeling of having something but not being able to hold onto it.

Therefore, he lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before stuffing his index finger into the child’s palm again.

Gu Nuo’er subconsciously pinched it. Ye Siming lay on the edge of the bed and smelled the child’s milky fragrance for a while. At some point, he also fell asleep.

For Madam Bai, tonight was a night with a dream filled with tears.

She dreamed of having gone back to that night with the lanterns three years ago.

The streets were filled with commoners running in panic. There were lanterns everywhere that had been stepped on and stained with mud.

Madam Bai shouted in panic, “Rongrong, where are you?!”

At this moment, a small hand grabbed her tightly from behind.

“Mother! It’s very dangerous here! Come with me quickly!”

Madam Bai turned around. Her two-year-old daughter grabbed her and ran forward.

They followed the fleeing crowd and hid in the monastery.

Her daughter trembled beside her, but her small hand still held onto her tightly.

“Mother, can you not leave? Rongrong is scared.”

Madam Bai looked at her daughter’s innocent and pitiful face and felt as if a piece of her heart was missing.

She had a feeling that Rongrong shouldn’t appear here, but she couldn’t think of a reason.

At this moment, Madam Bai suddenly saw a shocking blood color on Rongrong’s collar.

She quickly hugged her daughter and turned her around.

There was a bone-deep knife wound under Rongrong’s neck near her shoulder!

It was just that Madam Bai didn’t discover it because the wound was covered by Rongrong’s draping black hair.

Only then did Madam Bai notice that Rongrong’s face was extremely pale!

She suddenly remembered.

Her daughter, Rongrong, had already passed away from an injury when they encountered bandits during the Lantern Festival!

At this moment, facing her daughter in her dream, Madam Bai was stunned for a moment before choosing to hug her tightly.

“My daughter!” Madam Bai sobbed, her hands covered in Rongrong’s blood. “Mother will bring you to the doctor now. I’ll get your father to enter the palace to call for an imperial physician!”

Rongrong suddenly pressed her down with her small hand, her black eyes carrying a faint smile.

“Mother, don’t trouble yourself. Initially, I wanted you to save me in your dream and eliminate your regrets and worries. However, I didn’t expect Mother to still remember.”

She stuck out her tongue playfully. “I heard Sister Nuo’er’s words. Mother, I’ve always wanted to tell you that I don’t blame you for not having protected me well. I’m very happy to be your daughter for two years. You and Father are the number one heroes in my heart.

“I’m leaving now. In the future, you and Father won’t have my protection anymore and you’ll have to take good care of yourself. Mother, goodbye! The mountains are high and the rivers are long. Take care!”
