Li Ji froze.
Like a heartless marionette, he slowly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes turning to Mu Qing.
"What did you say?"
Mu Qing: "The Princess Consort asked me to tell you, she will come back!"
When the Princess Consort had asked her to pass on this message, she hadn't understood what it meant.
Only now did she understand. The Princess Consort must have known she wasn't going to make it, so she had deliberately left these last words for Prince Zhao.
Li Ji heard Mu Qing's thoughts and knew she wasn't lying.
Manman really had left this message for him before she died.
Manman said she would come back.
In a world that had been filled with despair, a glimmer of hope now appeared.
It was like an oasis suddenly appearing in a barren desert.
Even if the oasis was far away, looking more like a mirage, he could at least see that it was there.
'What if the oasis is real? What if the hope is real, too?'
