Ling Jingyu nodded, then whispered: "This matter cannot be rushed, it must be planned before acting. It looks like an accident, and you are completely unrelated. When the time comes, even if Li suspects you, he won't be able to implicate you."

  Just like Ling Xiao's "accident" back then.

  Ling Feng nodded in agreement, acknowledging the divine assembly's decision.

  The two of them again discussed some details and methods for future contact in a low voice, until after the third watch, Ling Feng left.

  Ling Jingxian gently exhaled a breath, and all expressions on her face disappeared.

  A young life will soon fall. The one who took action was Ling Feng, but the real mastermind was her... In front of Ling Feng, she remained calm and composed without revealing any emotions. But in her heart, she was trembling with fear.

  As soon as she thought of Ling Xiao and Bai Yu, who were innocent and murdered in their past lives, and the cruel Li Shi, the hesitation and confusion in Ling Jingxuan's heart immediately disappeared.

  Li's family had no hesitation when they laid hands on Ling Xiao at the age of eight. Later, when they poisoned sixteen-year-old Ling Xiao, did they ever hesitate?

  Bai Yu was tortured and humiliated to death after marrying into the Li family, which must have been done at the instigation of the Li clan.

  An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

  The gentle and weak Ling Jingyu is already dead, the reborn her must avenge, it's necessary to be ruthless. First set up chess pieces to deal with Li's mother and son, in the future she will kill Lu's family, and also deal with Princess Changping...

  Even if I have to stain my hands with blood and go to hell after death, it's worth it.

  ......

  "Miss, why does your face look so terrible?" Bai Yu's voice broke into Ling Jingxu's thoughts.

  Under the soft candlelight, Ling Jingxuan's face was solemn and her complexion was pale, looking at her made one's heart skip a beat.

  Ling Jingxu snapped back to reality, tugging at the corner of her mouth: "Nothing. I just thought of some things and my heart doesn't feel very comfortable." After a pause, she lowered her voice and muttered to herself: "Bai Yu, I'm a little scared."

  Bai Yu was taken aback and hastily came over to ask: "Miss, what are you afraid of?"

  She is secretly afraid of her own change! She is afraid that she will become unscrupulous for revenge, becoming a completely different person, becoming despicable...

  All the words surged to the tip of his tongue, almost bursting out. But when he saw Bai Yu's anxious face, they automatically swallowed back in.

  It's enough for her to bear this darkness alone. Why let Bai Yu know and also be worried and uneasy?

  "I've grown up to this age and have never been on a long trip." Ling Jingxu quickly found a dignified reason: "Thinking that I'll be setting out early tomorrow, my heart is always a bit uneasy."

  Bai Yu was indeed clever and sharp, and she had already picked up on Ling Jingxian's evasiveness and insincerity. However, since Ling Jingxian didn't want to say anything more, she wouldn't press the issue either. Following Ling Jingxian's tone, she said: "Yes, thinking about going to such a faraway place makes me feel uneasy too! Fortunately, I'll be following Master and his family to the dock to take an official boat, so there will be people taking care of us along the way, and we don't have to worry too much."

  She paused and smiled: "It's already late at night, miss. You should get some rest early! Tomorrow is another early start!"

  Ling Jing nodded slightly.

  After changing into her nightclothes, Bai Yu carefully blew out one of the candles and moved the other to a corner. The faint light drove away the darkness in the room, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in Ling Jingxuan's heart.

  After closing his eyes for a long time, he finally felt a slight drowsiness.

  In her dream, she dreamed of that night again when she was dying.

  ......

  "This is the three zhang of white silk bestowed by the imperial palace." Ling's eyes gleamed with malicious delight as she leaned down, looking at her kneeling on the ground: "You're also considered to be blessed. This is a secret decree personally issued by Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, and the white silk was personally bestowed by her."

  Lu An stood beside Ling Shi, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

  It's just that this is a secret order personally given by Empress Xu, wanting Ling Jingxian's life. Even if he has the audacity to be reckless, he wouldn't dare leave Ling Jingxian behind again.

  Her face was deathly pale, her heart full of resentment, her eyes full of hatred and unwillingness: "What did I do wrong? Why treat me like this?"

  "You're wrong because you are Ah Huo's original wife. Ling Shi sneered: 'Think about the noble status of Changping Princess, she wants to recruit Ah Huo as her husband, it's Ah Huo's good fortune for several lifetimes. As a princess, she naturally can't bear the reputation of stealing someone's husband, so she can only wait until you "die suddenly" and then Ah Huo can become her husband.'"

  "Ling Jingxu, you'd better resign yourself to your fate!"

  No, she doesn't recognize this fate.

  Several old women held her down, she struggled with all her might. Ling Shi couldn't wait any longer, so he took the white silk and wrapped it around her neck, using brute force to strangle her to death...

  Ling Jingxuan woke up from a nightmare, trying to calm down her irregular heartbeat and breathing, turning her body inward, forcing herself to continue sleeping.

  In her daze, she fell into another dream.

  "A'xiao, A'xiao wake up." The eight-year-old girl sat beside the bed, staring at her pale and unconscious brother Ling Xiao, tears falling like broken pearls.

  No matter how she shouted, the young Ling Xiao still lay motionless on the bed.

  The scene changed rapidly, and Ling Xiao's head and eyes were wrapped in thick layers of white gauze. The doctor carefully removed the gauze layer by layer, and Ling Xiao's beautiful eyes were shrouded in a mist that couldn't be dispersed, saying vaguely: "Ah Shu, I can't see... what should I do from now on?"

  The desolate and melancholic voice kept echoing nonstop.

  "Ah Xiang, I won't be able to read books again from now on."

  "Ah-shu, my elder brothers all call me blind behind my back."

  "Ah Shu, I can't do anything, just like a useless person..."

  No, Ah Xiao, you're not useless.

  In my heart, you are the most excellent and best young man under the sky. I didn't even have a chance to see you for the last time before we parted forever. It was all Li's fault that harmed you...

  ......

  "Miss, miss." A familiar hand wiped away her tears, his voice full of heartache and concern.

  Ling Jingxian opened her eyes to see Bai Yu's familiar face: "Miss, did you have another nightmare? Your face is covered in tears and I heard you mumbling a few words."

  "What did I just mumble?"

  Bai Yu hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "I only heard you keep calling out Young Master Xiao's name and saying you want to avenge him."

  Ling Jing's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said: "I had a nightmare, I dreamed that someone hurt Ah Xiao."

  This explanation makes perfect sense.

  Bai Yuwei imperceptibly let out a sigh of relief, smiling and comforting her: "It was just a dream, don't take it to heart. The sky will be light soon, Miss, you'd better get up early. Later, we still need to bid farewell to Old Master, Old Madam, and Eldest Young Master Xiao."

  Ling Jingyu's eyes were fixed on him, and she responded with a soft "en".

  After getting dressed, Ling Xiao also came with a happy face. As soon as he entered the door, he eagerly shouted: "Ah Jiu, have you had breakfast? Hurry up and eat, we're going to bid farewell to Grandma."

  Laughing cheerfully, "I've grown up so big, I've never been on a long trip or taken an official boat! Don't know if I'll get seasick."

  The smile on her face was more radiant than the sunshine, driving away all the darkness in Ling Jingxuan's heart.

  Ling Jingxu also smiled: "Dabo must have prepared seasickness medicine, let's take the medicine first and then get on the boat."

  Ling Xiao nodded enthusiastically and responded, but then sighed regretfully: "Unfortunately, my eyes can't see anymore, so I won't be able to appreciate the scenery along the way."

  Ling Jing's heart was secretly aching, but she smiled and comforted him: "I'll tell you everything. When your eyes are healed later on, you can look at whatever you want."

  Will he really have another day to see the light again?

  Ling Xiao Guang thought so and began to get excited. The anticipation for the trip to Beijing was almost written all over his face.

  Ling Jingyu gazed at Ling Xiao, and the last bit of gloom in her heart was swept away.

  I hope that Wei Taiyi's medical skills are really that impressive, and can cure Ah Xiao's eyes. As long as Ah Xiao can recover normally, she will be willing to do whatever it takes.

  Let her bear all the darkness and guilt!
