"Good granddaughter, come quickly, great-aunt just steamed some buns today, come and taste them."
This is my grandmother's sister, also my great-aunt.
I have been living in my ancestral home in the countryside for two months. Everyone has been very welcoming to me, especially my great-aunt. She comes to bring me food every day and takes care of me in every possible way, treating me almost like her own granddaughter.
Whenever people in the village ask about the child's father, I sadly reply, "He's in trouble."
Days pass by peacefully, and I always think of Gu Changxiao, wondering if he is doing well now.
If it weren't for this child, perhaps I could console myself that it was just a very long dream. But the strong fetal heartbeat tells me that all of this is not a dream. Gu Changxiao is real, he is the father of the child in my belly.
Every night before I go to sleep, I pray that I will dream of going back into the book, but I fail every time.
I've already flipped through the script countless times, and some of the words have become blurry, but I still strive to find any trace that could lead me back into the book.
"Thank you, great-aunt, I love eating the steamed buns you make the most."
"Oh, you're still wearing this bracelet."
"Yes, it's the wish my grandmother left me."
"I don't have another one, this bangle is a pair."
"Is that so? My grandmother never told me about it."
"Wait for me to go home and bring it to show you. There are also words engraved on it."
great-aunt is right, the inner circle of this bangle does have inscriptions, but only on the left half. It turns out that this bangle has another half, no wonder I couldn't understand the words on it.
Sure enough, the bangle in great-aunt's house is exactly the same as mine in appearance, with inscriptions on the inner circle, only on the right half.
I held two bangles together: "My wife Xiao Ling, double rings for protection, always in my thoughts."
Gu Changxiao, this must be the message he left for me. No one else knows this name except for him.
This must be the message he left for me!
I found him, I finally found him!
"Great-aunt, can I borrow your bangle to wear for a few days?"
"No problem, you can take it to wear if you like. I can't wear it while doing chores anyway."
After returning home, I will wear the pair of rings on my left and right hands, and take advantage of the fullest moon, repeatedly chanting Gu Changxiao's name in my heart.
Finally!
That white light finally appeared!

When I opened my eyes again, I was sitting in a carriage wearing anklets and bracelets, rushing to the border with Gu Changxiao's army.
Gu Changxiao Although he rode a tall horse at the forefront of the procession, he was surrounded by the emperor's guards. Each of them held a long spear pointed at him, treating him no differently than a criminal.
【Changxiao!Gu Changxiao!】
I called out to him several times, but he didn't respond to me.
Xue Mei pulled back the carriage door curtain and whispered, "Miss, you're awake."
"Xue Mei, I'm pregnant, I'm really pregnant this time. Hurry, go tell the prince that I'm pregnant."
"Miss, His Royal Highness is no longer the Crown Prince."
"Well... never mind that for now. Hurry and go tell the Crown Prince that I'm pregnant."
【Bold witch, who dares to make a scene here!】 The guards around shouted, scaring Xue Mei into quickly kneeling down: 【Report to the lord, our young lady is expecting. Please unlock the chains and allow her to be more comfortable.】
"Having conceived a demon, she still has the nerve to speak. The fact that the emperor didn't take her life is already a mercy."
"Alright, Xue Mei, don't say anything more. I'm fine."
"Miss being insulted is because the servant is incompetent. The servant must make sure to tell the master the good news of your pregnancy."
"Xue Mei! Xue Mei don't go!"
【Be careful!】
Xue Mei had just jumped off the carriage when the guard behind her stabbed at her thigh with a sword.
Xue Mei!
"For the young lady, for the young lady and the child of the master, Xue Mei will go."
【Xue Mei Don't go any further! Don't go!】
Another arrow fiercely pierced Xue Mei's body, and fresh blood flowed from her clothes onto the ground, drop by drop...
"Adults! Miss is pregnant!"
Xue Mei shouted with all her might, and her voice echoed throughout the entire valley.
Gu Changxiao finally turned around, and Xue Mei finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Countless arrows flew towards them from behind, and each one viciously pierced Xue Mei's body.
Why do you have to treat her like this! What did she do wrong!
She only has my best interests at heart...
She's only 17 years old!
The heavy iron chains on her body make it impossible for me to move, I can't do anything except cry out loud.
Xue Mei has completely collapsed and will never be able to stand up and call me "Miss" again.
