Chapter 792: Chapter 786: Lamenting the fleeting beauty with tears of yearning, unable to speak of the world’s sorrows where many heroes fall.She pitied her plight, treating her like an honored guest, yet to her surprise, she was the Crown Princess Consort who had recently caused such a stir in Beijing.
What terrified her even more was the thought that the Marquess would start a rebellion for her sake?
Fang Cuizhen’s maid was shocked, watching her own madam repeatedly slap herself until her face turned red.
She took Fang Cuizhen’s hand and pressed it down, crying, "Madam, what is this? If you are upset, take it out on me, don’t hit yourself!"
Fang Cuizhen turned her head blankly and collapsed onto her maid’s shoulder, crying her heart out.
Two days later, Fang Cuizhen found Xiao Qinqin and confessed the truth to her.
"I know you are the Crown Princess Consort whom everyone in Beijing has been
Xiao Qinqin, upon hearing Fang Cuizhen’s words, escaped to Qi Mountain with her help and, unexpectedly, made it there quite smoothly.
Tian Jizi took her in, on the condition that if the child in her belly were a boy, he must become Tian Jizi’s disciple.
By then, Xiao Qinqin had completely lost trust in Jin Moning, and was willing to agree to anything to protect her child.

This life had finally come to an end, sooner than she had imagined. If she felt any reluctance, it was there, because she had not yet seen Ayan grow up.
In the end, the woman sitting at her bedside asked if she had any regrets.
Regrets?
She said, "What does it matter if I regret it or not, the consequences of the decisions I made are mine to bear."
Her vision blurring, she then remembered something she had yet to do in this life.

"Who is he?" the woman asked.
Xiao Qinqin slowly closed her eyes and never opened them again.
Endless are the tears of lost love and the fleeting beauty of youth; countless are the heroes who perish in a world full of hardship.
This was her brief life. She regretted not being there to see her child grow up, she had not received his answer, and she no longer had the chance to repay his kindness.
