Chapter 886 Rediscovering Lost Hearts

• Returning to the kitchen, she brought out breakfast and retrieved a book of ancient poems. She had a fondness for Li Qingzhao and Li Yu, finding their poems to portray a unique beauty that was both vivid and expressive, capable of conveying deep emotions.
• "The fragrance of red lotus lingers on the jade mat in autumn, gently removing the silk dress, alone on the orchid boat. Who sent the brocade letter in the clouds? When the wild geese return, the moon is full in the west tower. Flowers drift, water flows. One kind of lovesickness, two places of idle sorrow. This feeling cannot be erased, lingering just below the brow, but above the heart." She read the verses attentively, her eyes slightly misty.

Without the convenience of modern communication methods like mobile phones or frequent letters, the waiting was agonizing, culminating in the news of Darling's death in battle.
