I asked him, “Do you ever remember things from the past?”
His body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed. He asked me, “Why the sudden question?”
“I was chatting with Hu Heng that day, and she mentioned that lately she often dreams of people and things from the past.”
He fell silent for a while. I could not tell whether it was because he had heard Hu Heng’s name or because of my dreams. After a long pause, he asked, “What did you dream about?”
“A lot.”
“I dreamed of the first time I met you, the Three Princes’ Rebellion during the Qinglong reign, the grand selection the year after you ascended the throne, Lu Yi, An Bi, Xie Yun, and Qin Shen. I dreamed of everyone who had already left, and everything that had already passed.”
