    Chapter 53 Dream Speculation Birthday – Beautiful flowers, most suitable for you…

    The first battle was successful. Xiao Lingyi and his soldiers won, but her body became weaker and she kept coughing up blood.

    Until the third battle, there were many foreign enemies, and the battle was carried out on wheels, which seemed endless.

    “King Xian, you lose. Surrender. The Khan can spare your life.” The Khan on the opposite side had dark red blood on his armor and was sitting astride a horse, looking majestic.

    Xiao Lingyi held on to the sword in her hand, not wanting to lose the country’s face in front of foreign enemies. She took a breath, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and sneered, the laughter full of irony.

    “What do you mean?!” The Khan on the opposite side was immediately enraged and pointed the tip of his knife straight at Xiao Lingyi.

    “What do you mean by this? I see that you are stupid and I am really worried about your position.” Xiao Lingyi replied sarcastically.

    “You!” The veins on Khan’s forehead bulged out, like dead vines entangled on an old tree, very ferocious, and the bulge was filled with uncontrollable anger.

    “Ben Khan, spare your life, but you actually laughed at me! You are looking for death.” His voice suddenly rose to a pitch that was unpleasant to hear.

    He slapped the horse’s back hard and rushed towards Xiao Lingyi.

    The corners of Xiao Lingyi’s lips curved, and she stood up and looked straight at Khan, who was getting closer and closer, with one hand behind her back.

    As he approached, she threw the object from her back and swung her sword.

    The man was frightened and fled in panic. The horse was caught off guard and he fell off the horse.

    Taking this opportunity, Xiao Lingyi quickly stepped forward, flipped her wrist, and stabbed him in the chest.

    The man reacted quickly and turned to avoid it.

    Xiao Lingyi changed her hand and stabbed him again.

    “Hiss-” He roared angrily, picked up a sword from the ground, and fought with Xiao Lingyi with his backhand.

    After several rounds, Xiao Lingyi’s martial arts skills were indeed inferior to his, and his physical strength was exhausted, so he stabbed him in the chest.

    Blood bloomed from his chest, like a bright flower, staining her red clothes.

    With a “boom”, Xiao Lingyi’s body fell to the ground and fell into a piece of blood-stained snow.

    Khan laughed loudly and looked down at her, “If you want to kill me, it’s early!”

    Xiao Lingyi’s eyes were calm and he looked at her quietly. Suddenly, she smiled and her eyes fell on the arm she had scratched.

    Her voice was full of laughter, “Are you sure?”

    Khan looked at her fearless face and was shocked. He followed her gaze to his slashed right arm and said angrily: “What have you done?!”

    Seeing his frightened face, Xiao Lingyi felt even more satisfied. She smiled wildly and blood gradually flowed from the corners of her lips.

    The thin bones of the body were shaken up and down, like a piece of paper as thin as a cicada’s wings, breaking at the touch.

    “You are lucky to die with me.” She stopped looking at him and turned her head to look in the direction of the capital.

    “You poisoned me?!” Khan finally came to his senses and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

    Xiao Lingyi ignored her, and the blood from the corners of her lips kept overflowing, quickly dyeing the white snow next to her face red.

    Khan gritted his teeth and felt a burning sensation in his abdomen, as if a fire was surging, and the pain was obvious.

    He felt a taste of rust in his throat, and his strong body collapsed. Fortunately, he was holding on with his sword, which prevented him from falling directly to the snow.

    When Xiao Lingyi heard the sound, a satisfied smile appeared in the corners of his eyes.

    At the moment of death, the vision gradually becomes blurry, and the pain dissipates and is no longer felt.

    The shouts in my ears seemed to be separated by a thick layer of snow, getting farther and farther away.

    She slowly closed her eyes, and the snowflakes from the sky fell on her body. They melted at first, and then became cold and stiff with her body.

    In the sky, only her red dress stood out, like the last trace of the sun that was so red that it dripped blood.

    Since then, a generation of King Jingxian has fallen, but as she wished, her glory has been left in the history books.

    “Stuck–” Director Cheng waved his hand, but Wen Mian still didn’t get up. He was still lying in the snow, looking particularly weak.

    Director Cheng immediately understood that he was too deep into the drama and could not get out of it.

    She also understood it very well. After all, the role she performed for the first time had such a magnificent ending, which was really heartbreaking. She was about to speak to Gu Man.

    They saw Gu Man running over and half-kneeling in front of Wen Mian, but to the shock of Director Cheng and the crew, she did not open her mouth to comfort her, but stretched out her right hand and stroked her quietly and gently.

    With warm palms, she touched her hair all the way to the strands, and then patted her back gently.

    Wen Mian still had his eyes closed, but tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes, mixed with the bright red blood on his cheeks, and flowed onto the snow.

    Gu Man’s eyes were filled with heartache and pity, and the movements of his hands were extremely gentle, “Wen Wen, I’m here, I’m here.”

    Wen Mian suddenly shrank into her arms, her fingertips clenching the corners of Gu Man’s clothes so tightly that her joints turned white. She bit her lower lip tightly, suppressing her cries, and rubbed Gu Man’s waist with a choked sob: “Manman, I…”

    Gu Man hugged her back gently and kept repeating in a low voice: “I’m here, I’m here.”

    After crying for an unknown amount of time, Wen Mian came to his senses, embarrassedly loosened his grip on Gu Man’s clothes, lowered his eyelashes, and said in a hoarse voice, “Manman, I can do it.”

    Gu Man looked down at her and saw her eyes that were red and swollen from crying. Her heart ached. She patted Wen Mian’s butterfly back again and agreed slowly: “Okay, I’ll give this to you to cover it up.”

    With that said, she took off the sunglasses hanging from the collar of her shirt and handed them to Wen Mian.

    The tips of Wen Mian’s ears were slightly red, and he nodded sheepishly, took the sunglasses and put them on, and then said in a hoarse voice: “Let’s go back.”

    Gu Man hummed, stood up, and reached out to pull her up.

    Walking to Director Cheng’s side with his head lowered, Wen Mian said with some embarrassment: “I’m fine, Director Cheng, I wasted your time.”

    Director Cheng waved his hand and replied nonchalantly: “It’s okay, this is all normal. It just so happens that you don’t have a part in the scene anymore. Go back and rest first. I’ll hold a closing banquet for you tomorrow.”

    Wen Mian moved his head up and down and replied in a low voice: “Thank you, Director Cheng.”

    Director Cheng shook his head and glanced at Gu Man, telling her to take good care of Wen Mian.

    Gu Man naturally agreed and left with Wen Mian, while Director Cheng filmed other people’s scenes and made arrangements for tomorrow’s rebellion.

    All the way back to the car, Gu Man took some bonuses for Wang Fei and asked her to leave, while he took the initiative to drive.

    Wen Mian was sitting in the passenger seat. She took off her sunglasses and glanced in the rearview mirror. Her cheeks were covered with tear stains, one on top of another, the tip of her nose was red, and her eyes were swollen like dead fish bubbles.

    “So ugly!” Wen Mian complained as he touched his swollen eyes with his fingertips.

    Gu Man couldn’t help but raise the corners of his eyes. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye and didn’t dare to speak.

    Seeing that she didn’t reply, Wen Mian immediately turned to look at her, with a hint of threat in his voice, “Gu Man, you didn’t see that, did you?”

    Gu Man quickly looked away and replied, “No.”

    Wen Mian smiled with satisfaction, and then felt a slight pain in her eyes. She immediately stopped smiling and pursed her lips in grievance.

    After sending Wen Mian home, Gu Man smiled and watched her leave. He didn’t leave until she could no longer see her back.

    Covering her eyes tightly, Wen Mian carefully returned to the room, and then sent a message to Director Cheng to reassure her.

    After everything was arranged, Wen Mian felt his swollen and painful eyes and put on his sunglasses and went downstairs.

    Humming an unknown tune secretly, Wen Mian opened the refrigerator door and was about to get ice when he heard a voice from behind.

    “Little miss, do you want to eat?” Aunt Li looked at her back and asked quickly.

    Wen Mian paused, then shook his head and said guiltily: “No… no, I just want to get some ice.”

    Hearing Wen Mian’s hoarse voice, Aunt Li was a little worried and blurted out: “Young lady has a cold?”

    “Huh?” Wen Mian was stunned for a moment, then quickly dug out ice cubes, turned around, glanced at Aunt Li, and ran away, leaving only one sentence: “No, I went upstairs beforehand.”

    Aunt Li turned her head and looked at her fast back in confusion.

    I couldn’t figure it out, but Aunt Li really thought she was in a hurry. She smiled kindly, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes widened, and muttered: “She’s still a child.”

    She continued to lower her head to choose vegetables, while Wen Mian upstairs was holding ice cubes to apply to her eyes. She didn’t put down her hands until she felt the pain was gone.

    Wen Mian looked in the mirror and felt that he couldn’t see it anymore, so Wen Mian went downstairs.

    After dinner with his family, Wen Mian played with his phone for a while and fell into sleep.

    .

    The face in the dream seemed to have become a little clearer, and a pair of narrow red phoenix eyes were faintly revealed. They were slightly raised, and the small moles at the corners of the eyes were shining brightly.

    The person opposite was smiling at him. Wen Mian felt a warmth in his heart and couldn’t help but smile.

    This time the dream did not have a tragic ending. It stopped halfway, and Wen Mian woke up with a smile on his lips.

    She recalled the eyes in her dream, and at some point, they gradually overlapped with Gu Man’s red and phoenix eyes.

    Gu Man?!Wen Mian was shocked and quickly realized, if the person opposite was really Gu Man, then where was the other person in the dream?Still the original owner?

    So… the original owner made a mistake?

    Wen Mian suddenly thought of that photo and Pei Ting, who looked disgusted when she saw the photo. Although she had already had a premonition in her heart, her heart still beat violently at this moment.

    She didn’t want to believe it, so she tried her best to recall the novel she read in her previous life, but found that her memory of her previous life had become hazy at some point, and the novel could no longer remember the plot.

    Wen Mian’s fingers clenched the corners of the quilt tightly, her joints turning white from the exertion, but she could not recall that memory.

    Thinking of the familiar feelings she had when she first came to this world, the familiar sadness in her dreams, the shocking idea in Wen Mian’s heart became clearer and clearer.

    That person in the dream…is me?!

    When Wen Mian moved her hand, her nails dug into her flesh, and she felt a faint pain, which calmed down her panicked look.

    It’s normal. I can wear books myself, so why can’t this body be my own?

    But… Wen Mian turned around and glanced at the door, thinking something in her mind.

    .

    After dinner, she and Gu Man came to the set. She accompanied Gu Man to put on makeup, and then quietly watched her acting.

    Yan An’s fifteen years in the army and two years as regent were certainly not in vain. They won the hearts of the people of the world and the hearts of officials who had some ambitions but could not realize them because of the eunuchs.

    On the day of the “rebellion”, corpses were everywhere. Yan An fought his way into the palace and finally came to an end after killing countless people.

    Then came the purge of Chao Gang, which lasted for several days.

    The dim shadow of the candlelight in the evening shone on Yan An’s resolute face. She frowned tightly and looked down at the memorial, her anger gradually rising.

    After finishing reviewing all the memorials, Yan An stood up, looked up at the moonlight outside the window, and thought quietly: I wonder how she is doing there?

    “Your Majesty…” A bent-over woman suddenly walked into the Yangxin Hall. She came closer and half-knelt on the ground.

    “What’s the matter?” Yan An turned around and asked solemnly.

    “A woman asked to see her and said -” As she spoke, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Gu Man’s expression.

    “Speak directly.” Yan An felt helpless and waved his hand, indicating for her to continue.

    “She said she was King Jingxian’s subordinate.” The man said quickly.

    Yan Anxin jumped suddenly and stared straight at her, “She said she was a subordinate of King Jingxian?”

    The kneeling person nodded and said, “That’s what she said.”

    “Bring her in.” Yan An suppressed the worry in his heart and spoke slowly.

    “Yes!” The man stood up, turned around and walked out the door.

    Shi Qi came in quickly. She did not kneel down to salute, and she did not want to salute Yan An. Even though she was the emperor, in Shi Qi’s heart, the master was the only one worthy of her kneeling.

    Shi Qi bowed his hands and said in a firm voice, “Your Majesty.”

    Yan An didn’t care, and leaned forward, with a worried look in his eyes, “How is she?”

    Thinking of the news she heard along the way, the tail of Shiqi’s eyes suddenly turned red, and she replied in a low voice: “The master has left. She asked her subordinates to follow His Majesty.”

    “Go… gone?” Yan An staggered and slowly sat back on the dragon chair. Her eyes suddenly felt sore. She waved her hands, not even noticing that her voice had become hoarse: “I understand, you need to rest first and come back tomorrow.”

    Seventeen bowed again and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

    She left, and the night swallowed her back. She hid in the night and left quietly.

    Yan An sat on the dragon chair, his fingers trembling slightly and his expression complex.

    After a long time, she whispered: “Finally, you got what you wanted.”

    In the days that followed, Yan An suppressed the Qing Dynasty and worked hard to cultivate the next generation.

    She grew up like an emperor, and seemed to have no emotions. Only those close to her knew that she had emotions, but they were dedicated to the person on the tombstone.

    After the filming was completed, Director Cheng was extremely satisfied, as he had lived up to her staying up late to revise the script.

    Director Cheng laughed loudly and was in a particularly cheerful mood. He came to Wen Mian’s side and said, “Okay, we’ll continue filming tomorrow afternoon. I’ll hold a closing banquet for you tonight!”

    Wen Mian glanced at Gu Man from the corner of his eye and kept nodding his head: “Okay, I was looking forward to it yesterday.”

    Director Cheng was speechless. She felt full even though she hadn’t eaten. She turned and left, leaving only one sentence: “You and Gu Man will come over after you finish packing.”

    Wen Mian hummed, just as Gu Man came over. She smiled softly at Gu Man and said, “What a good performance.”

    Gu Man was accustomed to her compliments. He stretched out his hand to rub her hair and said quickly: “I have a wish and I need your cooperation. Are you willing to do it Wenwen?”

    Wen Mian raised his eyes to look at her doubtfully. Although he was confused, he still agreed: “Of course I am willing. How do you want me to cooperate, little Queen Gu?”

    Gu Man took her wrist and said, “Come in with me.”

    Entering the dressing room, she let go, turned to look at Wen Mian, and said, “Try it.”

    Beside her legs was an ornately wrapped box.

    Wen Mian hummed in confusion and knelt down to open the box. Inside was a neatly stacked skirt. The skirt had a pinkish sheen and was particularly conspicuous.

    “Send it to me?” Wen Mian immediately guessed Gu Man’s intention and asked.

    “Well, this is a final gift for little Princess Wenwen.” Gu Man nodded, his voice gentle.

    Wen Mian’s fox eyes immediately opened into a surprise smile, like dots of stars in the sky, with shallow pear swirls, containing the sweetest honey in the world.

    “Wait for me!” She hugged her skirt and ran into the changing room.

    Gu Man’s eyebrows were soft and he waited quietly.

    The dressing room door was quickly opened, and Wen Mian walked out.

    She was wearing a pink and blue gradient tube top dress, revealing her delicate clavicle. The skirt had a faint sheen, and her waist was exposed with a thin triangular waist, which was outlined with a gold waist chain.

    The skirt was layered, like a beautiful jellyfish in the sea, fluffy and flexible, and made her skin fair and delicate.

    It looked like the little princess in the picture book walked out of the book, and in fact it was the same. She was indeed a princess. Not only Gu Man thought so, but everyone thought so in the future.

    Gu Man looked at her admiringly, with undisguised pride in his eyes. His eyes fell on Wen Mian’s empty wrist. Gu Man paused and took out another box from it.

    “Put it on.” She whispered.

    Wen Mian opened it and took a look. A three-layered fine diamond bracelet, a beaded necklace with dark silver luster, and a pair of lily of the valley style earrings were very similar to the ones she gave to Gu Man.

    “Put it on for me!” Wen Mian picked up the beaded necklace in the box and waved it in front of Gu Man’s eyes.

    Gu Man’s eyes were soft and he hummed in a low voice, “Okay.”

    She took the necklace hanging from Wen Mian’s fingertips, and when her fingertips touched, she felt the warm jade jade.

    Wen Mian turned his back to her and slowly moved his hair to the front, exposing his slender white neck.

    Gu Man lowered his head and came closer, his breath spraying on the back of her neck, and the small pink glands gradually turned red.

    Gu Man’s lips curled up slightly, his fingers passed through her front, and then he slowly fastened the necklace clasp.

    “Okay.” Gu Man took a step back and looked at the back of Wen Mian’s neck with satisfaction.

    Wen Mian turned her head, and the corners of her eyes were stained with the color of agate. She hummed in a low voice and looked at the lily of the valley earrings from the corner of her eye.

    Gu Man gently picked up the earrings with his fingertips, approached Wen Mian’s face again, suppressed the hand that wanted to tremble, and slowly put the earrings on her.

    Their faces were very close to each other. Wen Mian lowered his head, his eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

    After putting on one side, Gu Man gained a little experience and speeded up to put on the earrings on the other side.

    “Look in the mirror.” Gu Man whispered.

    The tips of Wen Mian’s ears were slightly red, and she nodded. She raised her eyes and looked in the mirror. Her facial features were gorgeous and delicate. Even without makeup, she looked particularly bright and attractive.

    She quickly put the bracelet on her wrist, and the cold white arm made the bracelet even clearer.

    Gu Man lowered his head and tapped his phone. There was a knock on the door, “Sister Gu, Mianmian, can you come in?”

    Wen Mian was confused and said “hmm” in confusion.

    “Make-up artist.” Gu Man explained, walked over and opened the door.

    Gu Man personally found the makeup artist half a month ago and is internationally renowned. He agreed this time because she was sincere.

    However, seeing Wen Mian’s face with her own eyes, the makeup artist was suddenly extremely satisfied. She quickly arranged the things and turned around to arrange Wen Mian’s makeup: “I’ll do your makeup.”

    Wen Mian was not a fool. From the first day she entered the entertainment industry, she looked at all kinds of famous people and naturally knew the makeup artist in front of her.

    Glancing at Gu Man from the corner of her eye, she hummed and agreed, “Okay.”

    The makeup artist was really good, and she quickly gave Wen Mian a delicate make-up, which did not lose her own temperament and made her look extra princess-like.

    Wen Mian looked at herself in the mirror again and again, and thanked her: “That’s great, thank you sister.”

    The makeup artist smiled and said, “Don’t thank me, thank her.” After the assist was completed, she left with satisfaction.

    Wen Mian stood up, turned to look at Gu Man, stared at her quietly for a moment, and then smiled brightly: “Little Queen Gu is the best!”

    Gu Man slightly raised his eyes, bent slightly and stretched out his hand: “Are you leaving?”

    Wen Mian proudly put his hand on hers and went to the wedding banquet with her.

    .

    For this final banquet, Gu Man specially reserved the Hongding Restaurant on the top floor. The top of the restaurant is a glass semicircle, which allows you to directly see the night sky. Standing in front of the floor fan, you can overlook the entire city.

    Wen Mian’s hand was held by Gu Man, and the two of them came to the top together.

    The door opened automatically, and a series of people popped out, “Surprise! Happy birthday, happy ending!”

    Wen Mian was stunned. She knew it, but was it still her birthday today?

    She lowered her head and opened her phone and looked at the time – August 8th, exactly one cycle away from Gu Man’s birthday, and also the date of birth in her previous life.

    Wen Mian immediately broke into a smile, his brows filled with joy: “Thank you everyone, I even forgot about it.”

    “Oh, what’s this!”

    “That’s it, as long as Mianmian is happy!”

    “Happy birthday!”

    They hugged Wen Mian and came to the middle of the restaurant. Inside, there was a three-layered white petal cake, as white as snow. The top layer was written by Gu Man himself – Happy 21st birthday to the little princess Wenwen!

    Wen Mian’s eyes couldn’t help but feel sore. She tried not to cry, cut the cake, and played around with everyone.

    Considering that there was a birthday celebration at home, Wen Mian went back very early to say goodbye to each other.

    Gu Man drove her home, looking at her pink eyebrows from the corner of his eye, and said slowly: “Wen Wen…”

    Wen Mian looked over in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

    Gu Man slightly curled his lips: “There were too many people just now, so I didn’t find a chance. I just want to say a happy birthday to you.”

    Wen Mian smiled at her and said in a cheerful tone: “Of course, you too, you have to be happy.”

    The car quickly arrived at the villa area. Gu Man stopped, walked out of the car, then turned around and walked to the passenger seat, reaching out to help Wen Mian cover the roof of the car.

    Wen Mian came out. Instead of leaving directly, she turned around and stared at Gu Man.

    Gu Man smiled softly, took her wrist, and came to the back of the car. The back cover slowly opened, and it was covered with all kinds of flowers.

    Wen Mian covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes suddenly turned red, her voice was slightly choked, and she asked in a low voice: “You gave it to me?”

    Gu Man hummed, lowered his head and looked at her seriously, and said word by word: “The flowers are beautiful, most suitable for you, and, there is this.”

    Note
