But before their values and the moral good, it was sadly very difficult to keep just an inkling of pure love.

What this gentle person wanted, what she so desperately wanted, was something she would never get.

If she couldn't get it, she would abandon it.

Abandon it and never look back.

Escaping from Chu Beijie, escaping from the deep hatred for her country.

"Miss Bai, do whatever you want then." Zuiju's eyelashes were trembling as a teardrop of crystal fell from them. She raised her head to look up at Pingting, softening her voice. "It truly is amazing for one to make their own choice just once in their entire lifetime."

As if agreeing, the final layer of melting ice on the outside of the window broke off.

Pingting's gloomy expression wavered and suddenly knelt down, grabbing onto Zuiju.

Zuiju also tightly hugged her, biting her lip and stifling her sobs.

Do it, do it.

A person's lifetime needed love, hate, decision and reason to fight for it.

To chase that uncatchable wind of the skies.

"Don't be an intelligent person anymore." Zuiju choked as she whispered into her ear.

Be a normal woman, a happy mother who no longer talks about their fears, a dear woman who upholded values and protected the moral good.

Everyone has the right to happiness.

Don't worry about the fire of Dong Lin, the battles of Yun Chang. Go to somewhere far away and never look back.

Tell your healthy and beautiful child that people can make decisions for themselves.

That people, are capable of crying comfortably but are also capable of laughing loudly.

That people, are capable of being rational but are also capable of acting from feelings.

"Who was the one who swore to the other to always be together? You're right."

"A hurt heart is a hurt heart. Even if you say it's to uphold values and protect the moral good, will the wounds on it disappear?"

"No."

They couldn't.

On the day the Dong Lin army approached and the day He Xia departed from the capital, Bai Pingting and Zuiju held each other, bursting into loud tears.

This was the first time that they had cried unreservedly since coming to Yun Chang. They let out all of the tears from their hearts, freely venting all of them out.

The winter sun pushed away the clouds around it. It too sprinkled light unreservedly on the two. It understood that these two weak women desperately needed its power.

"We must get out of here."

"Yes, we must."

They nodded resolutely at each other, bathed in strong sunlight.

Pingting wiped away her tears and stood up once more. She seemed even more upright than before. Under the haze of the sun, she seemed to have a halo of many colours, resembling the glow unique to jade.

She had power and power was in her belly. There was a tiny life in there, and Bai Pingting could no longer afford to slack off.

She stood up straight, standing firmly onto the ground.

The servants outside the door called just at the right time.

"Princess Yaotian has arrived!"

Zuiju abruptly stood up and exchanged a look with Pingting.

"So fast."

Pingting sucked her lip and didn't say anything. Several moments later she replied, "It was simply a matter of time. Better go welcome her."

She then went out the door with Zuiju and saw that Yaotian's maids had already paved the way for her. They quickly moved aside and bowed.

Yaotian had decided and immediately asked for Pingting's location upon entering the Prince Consort Residence. She hadn't said a word as she hurried over towards the garden, seeing Pingting in a deep bow in the distance. Her heart froze. Her footsteps slowed, studying the figure in the distance as she approached it. She then came to a calm stop in front of Pingting.
