In a room in the backyard of the[Guanghan Palace], a woman in a white Liuli dress was standing beside a table, placing a brocade box on it.
Wasn't that brocade box the very same one Lin Yi had gotten before?
Lin Yi stared at this scene in shock, suddenly feeling a shameful sense of being caught red‑handed.
But very soon, Lin Yi was drawn in by what the woman did next.
He watched as, after setting the brocade box on the table, the woman took a strip of White Silk lying beside the table and looped it over the beam above her head.
Lin Yi already foresaw what was about to happen, and his face changed dramatically:
"No, don't!"
Yet Lin Yi quickly realized that everything before his eyes was only an illusion.
He tried to rush forward to stop her, but his hands closed on empty air.
The woman calmly tied the White Silk hanging from the beam into a noose and murmured:
"My lord, I'm coming to find you. Wait for me."
