"Empress…"
"Yue Ying…"
Two anxious voices came from behind.
The soft chirping of birds could be heard, and it sounded very crisp and pleasant.
He could smell a refreshing fragrance that naturally flowed into his heart and lungs.
Lin Yueying's pink lips curled up slightly before she opened her eyes.
At this moment, she felt as if she was surrounded by birds and flowers. She had never experienced such a beautiful feeling since she entered the palace.
"Yue Ying…Yue Ying, you're awake.”Bai Ze whispered in her ear.
" Mm…" Lin Yueying was immersed in the beautiful scene and was reluctant to open her eyes. She was afraid that everything only existed in her dreams. If she opened her eyes, the beautiful scene would disappear. She had not seen enough, heard enough, and smelled enough.
"Yue Ying, wake up. Be good. You should take your medicine.”
Lin Yueying shook her head and grumbled unhappily,""Don't argue. If you continue to argue, there won't be any more."
"Yue Ying, be good, listen to me. You've already slept for ten hours. If you don't wake up soon, the sun will rise soon, and the medicine will be cold soon.”
Lin Yueying's heart skipped a beat. She opened her eyes abruptly."What…I've slept for ten hours?”
She still remembered that when Chu Huaijin left, he only gave her twenty hours. Now that she had slept for ten hours, she did not know how long she had been delayed after she fainted.
"What…what time is it now?”
She opened her eyes wide and anxiously searched the room for the missing moment.
"At the end of Si Shi." A hint of doubt appeared on Bai Ze's fair face.
In the beginning, she refused to open her eyes no matter how much she called out. Why did she open her eyes so impatiently after hearing that she had slept for twelve hours?
" This is bad, this is bad…" Lin Yueying was so anxious that she didn't even put on her clothes. She got up and ran down the bed. She didn't even have time to put on her shoes as she rummaged around the room.
The time Chu Huaijin had given her was only four hours left.
She believed that if she couldn't make it back in time, Chu Huaijin would definitely dig up the Lin family's ancestral grave.
Bai Ze was so scared that he quickly hugged her when he saw her wandering around, casually putting on a plain shirt, opening the door and going out.
"Yue Ying, calm down. Don't move.”
The two of them stuck close to each other at the door of the small wooden house.
Lin Yueying struggled to move her body."Bai Ze…let go of me."
"No…you can't let it go. Look outside. If you go out like this, you'll fall.”Bai Ze hugged her tightly and moved to the door to take a look.
Lin Yueying tilted her body and saw that there was a cliff outside the door. There were only white clouds floating in the air. The cold wind blew and hit her face, causing her to feel pain.
She was so frightened that she felt as if she had fallen from the clouds and bounced up again. Her heart was tightly held, and she could not help but hold her chest. It was difficult for her to breathe, and her entire person unconsciously lay in Bai Ze's arms and hugged him tightly. She did not dare to move at all.
"This…this house is…suspended in the air?”
She held the door frame tightly with both hands and looked sideways again. Only then did she realize that only half of the small wooden house was on the cliff, and the other half extended beyond the cliff. Once the door opened, if she had stepped out just now, she would not be able to return.
Thinking about this feeling…
It was refreshing to die, but wouldn't Chu Huaijin dig up the Lin family's ancestral grave?
She was already unfilial. She could not let the Lin family's ancestors follow her and be restless.
Bai Ze enjoyed the feeling of holding her in his arms as he looked up and asked softly.
"Do you still remember this place?"
"Where is this place?" Lin Yueying shook her head in confusion.”
"The Valley of the Medicine Masters in the suburbs, where we met when we were young.”
Although the two of them grew up in the capital, this was the place where they first met.
Lin Yueying followed her mother to the countryside to take care of the countryside, while Bai Ze was picking herbs in the Valley of the Medicine Masters.
Just like that, fate had brought the two children together.
On that summer day, they went into the mountains together to look for medicinal herbs, played in the river together, rolled around in the flowers together, and made noise together. Their days were extremely comfortable.
When Bai Ze thought of all this, it was as if it had happened yesterday. However, looking at Lin Yueying's expression, she could not remember it clearly.
"After I couldn't find you in the capital, I went to the Valley of the Medicine Masters and made this wooden house myself. Standing here, I could see the flower field we stepped on when we were young, and I could also see the flowing stream…I always thought that maybe one day you would want to come here, so I stood where I was waiting for you to come back. No matter what you became, I was still the Bai Ze who cared about you.”
Bai Ze held the girl in his arms tightly and confessed his love to her as he faced the white clouds that flew past him.
The words that he had hidden in his heart for more than ten years, he had an impulse to say them all today.
"Seeing that you are not doing well in the palace, my heart is very sad. Yue Ying, don't leave. Just stay here and sit idly in front of the court to watch the clouds roll and spread with me, alright?”
His voice was low and magnetic, and his lips were close to her ear. She could feel his breath on the side of her face, layer by layer. Lin Yueying's face slowly turned red, and her cheeks burned as if they were on fire.
Her heart softened like a small stream, and an uncontrollable warmth filled her entire heart along with his voice.
She couldn't help but lean against his lean but not weak shoulder. That place was so warm that she couldn't bear to move.
" Bai Ze…" Tears suddenly fell, and her heart fell to the ground.
She had never known that Bai Ze was so affectionate to her.
She couldn't bear to reject him because as someone who had once loved deeply, she understood too well how it felt to be hurt and rejected by the person she loved with all her heart.
She couldn't accept it in the past, and she didn't want to see Bai Ze feel it now.
He was such a wonderful person. He deserved to be treated gently.
But…
However, she only had four hours left. Perhaps it was already less than four hours.
She had to return to the palace.
" Yue Ying…" Bai Ze pressed against her ear and slowly moved down. His lips were nailed to her soft earlobe. It was fragrant and soft. Their bodies could not help but tremble when they touched it.
Lin Yueying's breathing quickened, and her body went limp.
Bai Ze bent down slightly, picked up the woman in his arms, and placed her back on the wooden bed.
He let her lie down and stood by the side, holding her hands tightly, afraid that she would disappear if he let go.
"Don't go, Yue Ying."
Ever since this small wooden house was built, he had fantasized countless times that his Yue Ying would appear here. She would just sit at the head of the bed and smile at him. He only felt that this life was enough.
Lin Yueying's heart felt like it was being choked. Her cheeks were flushed red, but she still could not say anything to reject him.
"I want to drink a glass of water." Looking at the teacup on the mahogany table, her pink lips moved slightly.
Bai Ze quickly poured it and tested the water temperature with his lips before handing it to her.
"I want to pour water for you for the rest of my life.”He had once thought of giving up. If she lived well in the palace, that would be the life she wanted. He would not pester her. However, he could not imagine bringing her back from her mother's grave. She was covered in wounds and her body was getting weaker and weaker. All of this made him unable to let go.
He knew that with Chu Huaijin's schemes, it would be difficult for Yue Ying to leave alive.
Chu Huaijin is a living demon…#
