Chapter 64: Somnambulism

  Only remembered having a dream, wanting to go to the front hall to find something.

  This is probably the crux of the problem, Mei Yu was caught in the front hall, and An Mingzhu also had a dream of going to the front hall, but Xue Qiufeng burned the doll possessed by the ghost baby, so those little ghosts lost their support, and An Mingzhu didn't take action.

  "But why would the ghost infant want to lead people to the front hall? Is their corpse hidden in the front hall? That's impossible, right?" Xue Qiufeng asked curiously.

  Xuanyuan didn't know the answer either. However, all ghosts have unfulfilled wishes related to their cause of death. Perhaps the front hall is related to their deaths?

  That night, I heard someone constantly calling out my name.

  "Plum Lingxue, Plum Lingxue..." Not far or near, it seemed to be right beside me. I wanted to open my eyes, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't. There was a voice in my heart reminding myself that I was having a nightmare, not to tense up, not to be afraid, and that it would be over soon.

  But the sound continued, and later Xuan Yuan Mu woke me up. I was startled to see someone standing in front of my bed, and just as I was about to speak, Xuan Yuan Mu covered my mouth.

  My emotions gradually stabilized, and the person in front of me was staring at me tightly, surprisingly it was Princess Yo Qing.

  Xuanyuan motioned for me to be quiet.

  Obviously, Princess Qing had sleepwalked and she actually came into our room, softly murmuring my name.

  Xuanyuan put on his shoes and then handed me my coat. The two of us slowly walked out, walking very slowly, occasionally turning our heads to look back at the people behind us, with Princess Yoqing following closely behind me.

  She wore a long dress without a waistband, her hair hanging down, her eyes half-closed, and if you didn't look carefully, she really looked like a female ghost.

  We led her to our room, Xuan Yuan pointed at the bed and told me to get on it. After I got on the bed, Princess Ru Qing also got on the bed.

  "Mei Lingxue, Mei Lingxue..." She was still whispering softly.

  Xuanyuan Mo looked at me and I nodded slightly before answering: "I'm here!"

  Ruò Qíng gōng zhǔ shēn shǒu bào zhù wǒ, chén chén de shuì zhe le, bàn yǎng de yǎn jīng yě bì shàng le.

  Translation:

  Princess Ruò Qíng stretched out her hand to hold me and fell asleep soundly, even her half-open eyes closed.

  I returned to my room and curiously asked Xuan Yuan Wu: "What's the point of bringing her back just to talk?"

  "When a sleepwalker discovers they are sleepwalking, they may be frightened by themselves. In dreams, people's defensive abilities are at their lowest. So we'll take her back and let her sleep in bed before answering her questions. Even if she wakes up, it won't matter." Xuan Yuan Mu replied.

  "Hmm! But why did she look for me?"

  Xuanyuan also had a look of doubt: "Maybe it's just that I, this princess, have too little sense of security. She calls your name, you answer her, and she doesn't say anything else, then falls asleep!"

  After daybreak, I went to see Princess Wang Zhaojun. She was very happy and gave me many delicious things to eat. She had already forgotten about the sleepwalking incident last night.

  The matter passed like this, I didn't take it seriously, but later on she almost lost her own life because of sleepwalking.

  Xuanyuan was very busy with work, and strange things kept happening in the palace one after another. For my safety, he let me live outside the palace for two days.

  We bought gifts and arrived at Wang San Niang's tailor shop.

  "Sister, I've missed you so much. I even made a dress for you, take a look..." Feng Chun'er said as she took out her work and tried it on me.

  "Master, why don't you stay too? It's lively at home." Wang San Niang asked happily as she looked at Xuan Yuan Mu.

  "No, I have something else to attend to!"

  Seeing a hint of sweetness flash across Xuan Yuan's face, I really want to keep him here too, and spend our little days together.

  "Madam, you can rest assured while staying here, my daughter and I will definitely take good care of her."

  "Hmm!" Xuan Yuan nodded and smiled as he watched me change clothes: "She caught a bit of a cold a few days ago, these past few days, don't let her go out at night..."

  Xuanyuan was still worried about the ghost infant, even though he was outside the palace, he couldn't put his mind at ease, after all I am a Jiu Yin fate, the favorite destiny of the ghost infant.

  "Yes! Young master, I will definitely take good care of her!" Wang San Niang replied happily.

  Xuanyuan took out a gold ingot and placed it on the table: "This is for you mother and daughter, you must take good care of my wife, I will come to pick her up in a few days!"

  "Yes, yes..."

  Xuanyuan left, Chun'er pulled me to look at the fabric, just then, a man in brocade clothes walked in from the door, it was actually An Douye.

  "Sir, would you like some fabric or a custom-made garment?" Chun'er suddenly rushed forward, beating Wang San Niang to greet the customer.

  Andou slightly frowned and dodged Chun'er's approach, walking towards me instead.

  I was startled and took several steps back. What did he want to do? How did he know I was here? Was he following me again?

  Thinking of how he almost kidnapped me last time, I felt increasingly anxious: "Y...you want to do what?"

  An Duo'er looked at me, carefully looking at me, just wanting to say something, when Wang San Niang rushed up and blocked my way: "This young master, you... cannot overstep, this lady is already married!"

  An Du's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and a dagger appeared in his hand, pointing directly at Wang San Niang's neck. Wang San Niang was so frightened that her legs went soft, almost falling to the ground.

  "What are you doing?" I pulled Wang San Niang behind me and gave him a cold stare.

  "I want to talk to you!" Ando finally spoke up, putting away his dagger, his face expressionless.

  I had no right to refuse and was taken by Ando to a nearby restaurant, the second floor window seat was very quiet, he chose there.

  After contacting him twice, I found that Ando is a relatively cold person, not talkative and decisive in his actions! Just like last time when he kidnapped me, he didn't say a word and took action directly, today was the same!

  "What's wrong, speak up?" Seeing him not saying a word for half a day, just staring at me, I had to break the silence.

  "You are the reincarnation of Blue Snow!" Ando said a mysterious sentence.

  I was stunned when I heard this: "Impossible, I'm probably only a few years older than her? How could she be my reincarnation?"

  "She is seven years older than you. You two are the same in everything except for the year of birth, zodiac sign and name!" Ando said stubbornly.

  I let out a sigh: "I am who I am, I'm not someone else!" After finishing speaking, I stood up: "If Prince An doesn't have any other matters, I'd like to take my leave first!"

  "You're still unmarried, right? I want to marry you!" Ando suddenly grabbed my hand.

  I heard this and my ears are buzzing, is he crazy?

  I pulled back my hand "I'm already married!"

  "Xuanyuan, don't deceive yourself! His crown princess isn't you. I can give you everything: status, wealth, and myself..."
