Lian Youyou looked at Concubine Jing's expression, and a smile appeared on her lips. She then looked at the people who were looking for answers: "I explained to everyone before that a time closed loop has been formed here..."
Concubine Jing turned her head and looked at Lian Youyou in confusion again after hearing what Lian Youyou said. She couldn't understand what Lian Youyou was saying, nor did she understand what was going on in front of her. However, she still sat quietly in her original position, watching and listening quietly.
Lian Youyou pointed around: "So, this is not a demon formation. You will witness a brand new power. This power does not belong to the world you live in, but comes from the distant abyss of the universe. This is an ancient energy from the beginning of the world."
Everyone was shocked by Lian Youyou's words. Gu Changqing stood there in a daze. Gods and Buddhas were incomprehensible to him, let alone ancient energy.
"The world is made up of time and space. Space is where we are, and time, you don't need me to explain it in detail. The power that causes the time cycle of this palace is time energy." Lian Youyou pointed inside, "Ancient energy has spirituality, it can feel the strong will of its owner, so driven by Gu Changqing's idea, it created this time loop and sealed off this palace, so that time can go back to when Concubine Jing was still alive..."
Concubine Jing opened her eyes wide in surprise. She immediately looked at Gu Changqing and wanted to ask, but she held back her words because of the presence of others. She maintained the strict etiquette of a concubine.
"But unfortunately, Gu Changqing didn't expect that this is a time loop. They can never leave this closed half day. During this half day, Concubine Jing will indeed be alive all the time, but when this half day is over, Concubine Jing will still disappear, because Concubine Jing's fate will end on this day. This is her ending, her history. No one can change history or change a person's fate." Lian Youyou said, and looked at Concubine Jing, "Concubine Jing, you have actually spent more than two hundred half days here."
Concubine Jing stared at Lian Youyou in a daze. Lian Youyou made way and pointed to the room behind her that was bound by the power of time: "Concubine Jing, don't you want to see Gu Changqing's true ending?"
Gu Changqing's eyes trembled violently. He didn't dare to look at Concubine Jing who stood up quietly, he didn't dare to look at Concubine Jing who walked slowly past him, he didn't dare to face Concubine Jing who was about to know the truth...
Concubine Jing stood in shock before the thin red layer of air that was as cold as ice, looking at Gu Changqing who was lying on the piano table, as if he was sleeping quietly.
"After you died, Gu Changqing must have committed suicide for love..." Lian Youyou stood beside Concubine Jing and sighed softly, "So this is Gu Changqing who died at the moment after you died. At this moment, Gu Changqing was indeed dead. But time has brought you back to this morning, and at that time, Gu Changqing was alive."
"I understand!" Duanmu Qingchen shouted excitedly, pointing at Gu Changqing in the room, "So the time in that room was frozen at the moment of Gu Changqing's death, right?!" Duanmu Qingchen looked at Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou nodded and raised her eyebrows to look at Duanmu Qingchen: "Ah~~ Your ability to understand interesting anecdotes is much better than your ability to handle government affairs."
"Of course~~" Duanmu Qingchen shook her long hair complacently, with her little finger raised.
Fu Mingrui suddenly felt that he was a bit effeminate when he saw him like that. It had only been a short time since he was castrated, but the effect was so strong
"Can it be opened, Youyou?" Fu Mingrui looked at Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou turned to look at Gu Changqing: "It takes the person who tied the bell to untie it, so Gu Changqing must be willing to let it go."
Everyone looked at Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing still stood in the corner, with his head lowered, not daring to look at anyone, let alone Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing slowly turned around and looked at Gu Changqing: "Master Gu..."
Gu Changqing slowly raised his face, his eyes filled with deep regret and pain: "Princess Jing... I'm sorry..."
Concubine Jing's expression gradually calmed down, and she walked slowly towards Gu Changqing: "Although... I still don't quite understand what happened, but Master Gu..." Concubine Jing stood in front of Gu Changqing and lowered her eyelids, "Thank you..."
Gu Changqing stared at Concubine Jing in a daze, his lips trembling slightly, and tears fell from his eyes like short strings of pearls.
Concubine Jing looked at him tearfully, raised her hand to gently wipe away his tears, with a relieved smile on her lips: "You are so silly..." These four words were full of the love and sympathy that needed no words.
"Perhaps this is what it means..." Lin Lu sighed softly.
"Gu Changqing, are you ready?" Lian Youyou looked at Gu Changqing.
Concubine Jing slowly took Gu Changqing's hand and smiled with tears in her eyes: "I wish to hold your hand, day and night, Changqing, we will see each other in the next life..."
Gu Changqing nodded silently, tears rolling down his eyes, but a smile appeared on his lips. His expression became calm, and when he raised his head to look at Lian Youyou, his eyes were calm.
He nodded to Lian Youyou, he was ready.
Lian Youyou turned around and looked at Lin Tingjun, then at He Shiqi. The two of them stood in front of the red door, frowning slightly. Gu Changqing and Concubine Jing might not be able to meet again in the next life after this separation.
"Cen—" Suddenly, the sound of a zither sounded, and Gu Changqing looked anxious: "Miss Lian!"
Lian Youyou raised her hand: "Don't be impatient, it's not the time yet. My friend needs to restart." Lian Youyou looked at Duanmu Qingchen with a smile.
Fu Mingrui didn't know what expression to make towards Duanmu Qingchen. He wanted to laugh but was a little angry.
Duanmu Qingchen's face turned red immediately.
Lian Youyou looked at Concubine Jing and Gu Changqing: "You still have time to say goodbye."
Concubine Jing nodded to Lian Youyou, bowed gratefully, turned around and gazed deeply at Gu Changqing: "Changqing, you did nothing wrong. As long as I am with you, whether it is only for this moment, or day after day, I will not regret it..."
Gu Changqing's tears moistened his eyes again, and he held Concubine Jing's hand tightly: "I would like to use my next life to exchange for you never suffering again..."
The sound of the piano began to become clearer and more rapid, and Concubine Jing's expression became frozen in front of Gu Changqing. The frozen time fixed the expression on Concubine Jing's face in the touching affection between Gu Changqing and her.
Gu Changqing and Concubine Jing held each other's hands and looked into each other's eyes, like a pair of affectionate statues standing by the long river of time. They gazed at each other forever, and no force could separate them.
Patriarch Zhang and the others also held each other's hands, smiled at each other, and then became accustomed to the sound of the piano, being frozen in time.
"It's starting now? I..." Duanmu Qingchen hadn't finished speaking when he was already stuck in the sound of the piano. (To be continued)
