His sight was filled with blood. He couldn’t stop it and could only watch the shocking red that dyed the yellow sand and his eyes red. He also couldn’t keep it and couldn’t grab it in the same way. He could only watch the thin and weak person in his arms like a withered flower rapidly withering away and scattered redness on the ground.

“No...... no...... no!” He hugged her tightly. Her torn wedding dress was stained red. Her cold and hot blood penetrated through.

“No......!” Whether in the dream or reality, Shen Zhonghua’s face was in pain. His cold facial features were tangled together painfully and his voice was thick and hoarse. His face was pale and his entire body was cold and sweaty as if he had fallen into the cold and chilly hell. His entire body was cold and bone-chilling and fell into endless despair.

He hugged the person in his arms tightly, wanting to integrate her into his bones. He seemed to want his body temperature to warm her, but everything was in vain.

During the moment when he squeezed her hard, his arms suddenly became light. He was startled and spread his hands in a panic but he saw nothing in his arms. He felt as if his heart had been gouged out of his chest.

“Qiqi...... Qiqi......” He fumbled and staggered in the endless darkness like he was crazy, calling out her name again and again.

“Qiqi...... Qiqi......” Shouting one after another from grief to heartbreak to shouting himself hoarse.

It was long, tedious despair and suffocating quietness.

Not knowing how long had passed, suddenly there was light.

It was a speck of flame. Before he could react, he was burned with the raging prairie fire, even the corner hem of his clothes was burned.

At that very moment, every bit of hope in Shen Zhonghua turned to dust. He had no more thought to live on. This world, this country, this incomparably supreme position above 10,000 people that he planned for so many years, and got everything through painstaking thought, suddenly it was meaningless.

The blazing flames, the scorching heat, the pain of being burned by the flames couldn’t compare to his heartache. Shen Zhonghua didn’t hide and didn’t avoid it. He thought, what about being burnt by the raging flames? Everything was his own fault.

He closed his eyes and thought it would be better if he died like this...... only hoping to catch up with Qiqi before she crossed the Bridge of Helplessness and drank Meng Po soup......

But what to say when he saw her? He was ashamed to face her and exhausted her. All his excuses and regrets appeared pale and weak before her.

All of a sudden, a sword twisted at his face. Shen Zhonghua’s brows wrinkled. Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed and his body was pulled by a fierce force. Shen Zhonghua opened his eyes. He saw the sword and a shadow between the flames. He looked at it as a dream and saw a familiar thin figure.

The figure pulling his hand tightly, handling a handful of mountains, enduring was common. She shot quickly and ruthlessly. The figure he yearned for day and night, the beautiful appearance he couldn’t reach when he dreamed back countless times at midnight.

“Qiqi...... Qiqi......” Yes, it was Qiqi. It was his Qiqi.

The dream was chaotic and the timeline was even more interlaced. Shen Zhonghua had no time to think about it whether it was a dream or reality, whether Qiqi was human or a ghost. As long as she was still by his side, no...... as long as he could see her.

“Be careful!” Suddenly there was a blade cleaving to Qiqi’s back, but she remained in front of everyone and trembled. She had no time to take care of it. Shen Zhonghua was filled with fear and rushed forward to ward off her. However, the dream couldn’t be changed just like the past that had already existed. Qiqi sensed it, made an effort to push back everyone in front of her, and quickly turned around to hug him.

“Ugh......” Shen Zhonghua heard Qiqi muffled groan and blood once again dyed his eyes red. He remembered...... This was in the green bamboo forest and the one who sent the assassins to kill him was his half-fourth older brother. He was poisoned which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of, and his Qiqi was also poisoned, but she cut her wrist and forced the poisoned blood out.

Then, it was Qiqi against ten enemies because he was seriously injured which delayed the time and only then did it attract Liu Yue and Leng Xing to come and rescue.

Shen Zhonghua remembered the terrible scars behind Qiqi. Including a ferocious scar that almost split her small body in half and that was how the wound came about.

She suffered so much, so many injuries, both physical and mental pain all because of him......

Shen Zhonghua hugged Qiqi tightly, wanting to squeeze her into his bones, but the nearly fainted Qiqi suddenly opened her eyes between his neck and asked in a very cold voice: “Your Majesty, are you happy killing your own child with your own hand?”

Shen Zhonghua was terrified as if he was struck by thunder!

Only by this did he notice that he didn’t know when there was a sword in his hand and it pierced through Qiqi’s belly.
