Chapter 19: The Cup She Drank
It took Qin a quarter of an hour to pick the ice room lock from the inside.
Neither of them spoke.
She folded the yellow order and put it inside her robe, against her skin.
They left every other paper where it lay.
The drain was longer going out, and colder.
They came up through the grate behind the stone lion into a frozen garden, silver with sleet.
Qin led her through a gap in the wall to an old pavilion nobody used.
It had a roof and three walls and a broken lattice screen.
He stood at the open side with his back to her, looking at the sleet.
"Tell me what the paper means," he said.
She had thought she would be afraid.
She was only tired.
"It means the dream was not a dream," said Shuyao.
He did not turn.
"I died, Hanzhou. At twenty-four, in a gray yard, in front of Wei and my cousin."
"I drank a cup he handed me. I woke up in my own bed at fourteen."
