章節 552: Remarriage

Sheng Li's body stiffened in the sleep because of the strange dream. His forehead was covered with sweat. His mother's last moments again came in front of his eyes where she was on her deathbed.

Ying Lili noticed it and called his name. "Sheng Li! Sheng Li!" Ying Lili called her name while patting his cheek.

Sheng Li could not awake from his nightmare. He saw the lifeless body of his mother and then the evil laugh of Yongzheng reverberated in the chamber. "Lili will die like your mother." The voice echoed in his ears. "You are meant to be alone, Sheng Li."

Suddenly, he heard the voice of Ying Lili, who was calling for him. The echoes of Yongzheng died down while Ying Lili's voice became prominent. "Lili," he murmured in his sleep and instantly opened his eyes. His breathing was heavy, and there were tears on the edges of his eyes.
