She had another dream.
But it was not the same dream as before. freewebnoveℓ.com
The weather was clear, and she found herself in a small courtyard filled with lilies, with a cluster of green bamboo in one corner.
A gentle breeze brushed past, and the bamboo leaves danced with the lilies.
She recognized it – this was the courtyard she had visited in the afternoon.
Why had she returned?
Where was the Duke?
Just as the thought crossed her mind, she saw the door of the main house open, and someone step out – but it wasn’t the Duke; it was a pregnant woman.
Dressed in a purple battle dress and silver armor, with a long bow in hand, she looked ready to depart for battle.
The young Duke emerged, gazing deeply at her, his eyes gradually reddening.
She smiled and said, "Take good care of Yinyin, I’ll be back soon."
But you never returned—
This sentence suddenly flashed through Gu Jiao’s mind.
She watched the silhouette of the woman as she walked away from the courtyard.
Don’t go.
You will die on the battlefield.
Gu Jiao wanted to stop her.
But no sound could come from her throat.
She tried several times.
Suddenly, a little girl tumbled out of the house, her young voice piercing the sky, "Mother—"
Gu Jiao’s body shuddered, and she opened her eyes.
There were remnants of a sound in her ears, unsure if it was her own or from the dream.
"You’re awake."
