The night was completely dark.
Cai 'er was lying on the bed, her breathing very shallow. The only thing left in the room was a candle that was about to burn out, flickering with a faint candlelight, as if it was struggling for its last breath.
Yu Feng appeared in her room, his indifferent aura bringing in the cold wind. He walked over to the bed gently. He was so careful to approach her, afraid that he would wake her up from her sleep.
It was impossible to see the emotions he wanted to express on his face. His deep eyes reflected Cai 'er's sleeping face, as if she was the only one left in his world.
Yu Feng sat down next to her and looked down at her exquisite face. She was familiar, but she couldn't be more familiar. How many days and nights in her dreams, he could calmly sit next to her and laugh.
However, here, she was clearly right in front of him, yet he did not dare to raise his hand to touch her. This kind of distance made his heart feel very uncomfortable. No one knew why he just could not?
"You fool!" Yu Feng said lightly with pity. His voice was very soft and lazy, but it touched the temptation.
Yes, she was just like a fool. Even though he pushed her far away, even though she would get hurt, and even though she would be sad, she would still run back and continue to smile at him. It was the same as always, because he firmly believed that she would come back. Until one day, he began to worry. If he pushed her away again and she really did not come back, what would he do then?
The selfish him wanted to keep her by his side, but he couldn't give her what she wanted, but that wasn't something he could give her.
In her sleep, she seemed to have dreamed of something. Her body moved and she pushed the blanket to the side.
Yu Feng looked at her, feeling nothing but helplessness towards her. He covered her with the blanket, tightly covering her, but at this moment, Cai 'er woke up with her eyes wide open. This was great, Yu Feng's hand that was covering her with the blanket immediately stiffened, not daring to move at all. His expression was also very shocked, shocked that she had suddenly woken up.
Cai 'er looked at him, her face clearly visible in front of her eyes. However, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, seemingly unreal, It feels so real!" As she spoke, she gently held his hand and interlocked her fingers tightly. His hand was neither warm nor cold, but hers was very hot. The warmth transmitted over warmed his hand and along with it, his heart was also warmed. That was why he forgot how to let go of her hand.
Perhaps the scene in front of her was unrealistic. She smiled bitterly.
Looking at her, Yu Feng couldn't help but smile. Only then did he know that she was just not fully awake and thought that she was dreaming.
"I seem to be getting closer to you. Can you stop pushing me away?”Cai 'er said," Just like this, how good!”There was a hint of grievance in her voice, as if she had hidden her emotions for a long time, but she had never revealed them.
He could not bear to push her away. He nodded and said," Okay!”
After getting his permission, she smiled again and looked at him for a long time. She did not dare to blink, afraid that he would disappear in front of her if she blinked. She seemed to be exhausted and she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
The warmth of their ten fingers intertwined, the hearts that could not be close to each other, such a distance was vague.
She didn't know and wouldn't know.
The night was so quiet that there was no sound of breathing…
Inside the palace, it was always so complicated that no one could imagine it. Countless schemes were hidden in the dark. No one knew who would die and who would kill them. The so-called power, greed, and ambition were all played out here. They stepped on corpses to climb to the top. In the end, ambition was often not enough. Under the gorgeous appearance of the human heart, it was always unreliable. The lack of loneliness and loneliness, as well as the pressure step by step, all became completely different.
Imperial Pharmacy.
It was filled with the thick smell of medicine, making it difficult for him to breathe. However, there was still a pure soul here.
A young girl in white, about eighteen or nineteen years old, was reading a medical book in the hall. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her eyes were like clear water. There was a hint of a scholarly air between her brows. She was Shi Yuzhi, the daughter of Shi Changqing's imperial physician. She had been staying in the palace since she was young and rarely left the imperial physician's room. Even so, she stayed behind her father obediently. Perhaps Shi Changqing protected her too well. Other than the people in the imperial physician's room, very few people knew who she was. He had always thought that she was just a helper in the royal doctor's office.
Seeing that her father had returned, Shi Yuzhi quickly put down the medical book in her hand and went over to welcome him." Father, what happened to your face? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
"It's fine. Father will be fine after resting for a while!”Shi Changqing said.
"Really? But what did father say to the emperor for so long?”Yu Zhi asked playfully.
"Have you forgotten? As a girl, don't ask too much about the matters of the imperial court.”Shi Changqing's displeased gaze swept over, and Yuzhi immediately shut her mouth obediently. However, there was still a hint of disdain." I don't want to know yet!"”
"It's already so late. Why aren't you resting?”
"Aren't I waiting for Father?"
"Tomorrow, Father might leave the palace!"
Upon hearing that, Yuzhi became excited. Her eyes lit up. I want it too!"
"Why did you leave the palace?" Shi Changqing looked like he had a headache.
"Of course I have to follow behind father to protect you!”Yuzhi's words made sense, but it made Shi Changqing's head hurt even more as he rubbed his temples." Stop fooling around! Father has something important to do this time."
Hearing her father's words, Yuzhi had never been willing to let go. She sat down on the chair beside her and said," I also have something important to do. It's winter now, and I just happen to want to go to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs. I only know that medicinal herbs in winter are very rare!”Without waiting for her father to say anything, Yuzhi grabbed her father's hand and said," Father, it's settled then. I'll go to bed first. Father also needs to rest early!”As she spoke, before Shi Changqing could reject her, Yuzhi had already disappeared without a trace!
He really did not know what to do with his daughter. He only hoped that she would not be hurt.
A few wisps of cigarette smoke floated in the dim light. A memorial tablet was quietly placed in the hall. Shi Changqing kowtowed to the person on the memorial tablet and stood up. He looked at the memorial tablet. The tablet was engraved with the tablet of his beloved wife, Duan Xiujin. It was his deceased wife.
" I should have discovered it two years ago, but I still neglected it. Compared to executing all nine generations, I'm more worried about the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is the future Emperor of our Southern Kingdom, but someone actually dared to attack the Crown Prince. It's obvious that someone wants to seize power and usurp the throne. Tomorrow, I'll go out of the palace to find Duan Deran and ask him to help find all the divine doctors in the world to cut off the Crown Prince's medicine. Xiujin, our daughter is growing bigger and bigger, and she looks more like you. After a few days, I want to send her out of the palace." After all, this is not a place for her to stay." He sighed lightly. At this moment, a black shadow quickly flew past the tightly closed door and window. Shi Changqing was shocked when he saw it. He ran over to open the door. A cold wind seeped in and blew on Mr. Shi's face. It hurt a little. The wind tonight was too strong.
"Who is it? Who's there?" Shi Changqing's vigilant gaze swept across every corner.
The corridor was empty and the air was cold. The only response was the meowing of the cats and the howling of the wind. The atmosphere was a little strange, as if something was about to explode.
There was nothing at all. Perhaps he was too suspicious and had hallucinated.
Shi Changqing stuck his head out and closed the door.
In the darkness, the cat's meowing was a little miserable, mixed with fear.
In the corridor, a black shadow flashed and appeared, stopping beside the pillar. The face of the person could not be seen clearly in the dark night, but from the figure, it could be seen that the person was a strong man with a knife at his waist. His murderous eyes were staring fiercely at Lord Shi's room, and then he disappeared again, like a ghost.
