This hand was very cold. When I held my wrist, it was like I was touched by a piece of ice. Because it was stained with blood, I couldn't see the color of my fingers, but I could also feel the paleness of dehumidification through the blood. There was only a little warmth at the center of my palm, which made me believe that it was a living hand.

This hand is - who?!

As soon as I realized this, my heartbeat was beating fast. I raised my head and saw a pair of dark eyes flashing by behind the door that was covered with only a crack.

Then, the hand on the wrist used a little more strength.

What is this, implying me?

However, without waiting for me to think about anything or ask anything, the people behind me came faster. Ye Yunshuang was particularly anxious and was about to walk behind me. I took a deep breath, then turned around and leaned against the door, and said to them, "You can't go in."

Ye Yunshuang's brows immediately frowned: "Why?"

"You promised us!"

"Yes, why?" The concubines following her were anxious, rushed up to surround me, and said in a lingering manner: "We just want to see the emperor!"

"Now the imperial concubine is gone, we want to serve the emperor!"

"Miss Yan, you can't go back on your word like this!"

Listening to their anxious words, I was still a little hesitant and didn't think about how to deal with it. Ye Yunshuang was already blushing with anxiety. She looked at me and even the corners of her eyes turned red, and said, "Big... Miss Yan, after all, we are the emperor's concubines!"

I was stunned by her statement.

This time, the other concubines also came to their senses, and a few immediately said, "Yes, we are the ones who are qualified to be with the emperor, why should we let others point fingers!"

"Empress will not stop him."

I stood there suddenly with a little stiffness.

Indeed, because the incident happened suddenly, I was pointing fingers here and didn't think about the primary and secondary issues, but in fact, I really had no identity, and no one in front of me could do anything to instruct me.

Just when the situation was a little awkward, Wen Sisi, who was standing in the crowd, walked up. She was still quite polite to me and said earnestly: "Miss Yan, I also know that you are in charge of the overall situation, but we just want to see the emperor - it won't affect you anything."

I frowned.

And just as I hesitated, I heard a heavy breathing between a door behind me.

He seemed to have a lot of effort.

But in front of me, the concerned and anxious eyes of these concubines made me unable to say heavier words.

At this moment, a voice sounded from the other end of the corridor—

"Are you guys really short-sighted?"

As soon as the familiar voice sounded, I was excited. When I looked up, I saw Yang Jinqiao slowly coming from there. She just walked to the center of the corridor and stopped, looking at the concubines surrounding me with a cold look.

When Wen Sisi and the others saw her, they immediately became quiet and no one spoke again.

I subconsciously said happily: "Empress Ning."

She only looked at me and didn't say anything to me. She just said coldly to the concubines: "When is it now? The rebels outside have surrounded Jixian Hall, surrounded by powerful enemies. Maybe the sword will be cut on us in the next moment, and you will still be caring about the love between children here?"

The concubines were scolded by her and their faces were dull. Even Wen Sisi lowered her head awkwardly. Although Ye Yunshuang was still forcibly looking behind me, her face turned somewhat guilty and red.

Wen Sisi said softly: "Sister Ning Fei..."

Yang Jinqiao said coldly without mercy: "Don't let me go, don't cause trouble for Miss Yan here."

“…”

"The only one who can save you is her!"

“…”

The concubines were so angry that they didn't dare to take a breath when she scolded them. Especially when she heard the last sentence, she looked at me in surprise. I didn't say anything, but just stood there calmly, looking at Yang Jinqiao.

After a while, Wen Sisi took the lead and walked towards the other side of the corridor.

When she left, the others couldn't hold it in, and they all walked away silently. Ye Yunshuang was the last one to leave. She looked back at the door behind me, as if she was still reluctant to leave, but she couldn't say anything. I waited until they all left, and then I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yang Jinqiao.

This scene reminds me a little bit of the time when she first came to help me in Shangyang Palace. I didn’t expect that so many years have passed, and it was her who could help me.

I said softly: "Thank you."

She didn't say anything, but just looked at me silently, then looked behind me, and turned around and left.

As she left, I almost felt like I was about to lose my energy, and I staggered and fell one step back.

The back immediately hit the door.

Before I could react, I heard a clang behind me, and the door was suddenly knocked open by me. I yelled softly, thinking that I was about to fall, but I found myself falling into a chest.

Warm, wide and thick, and it is still rising and falling.

I looked back and met those deep, dark eyes.

There were even some dry blood around the corners of his eyes, which stained his eyebrows and eyelashes, making his eyes look a little more bloody.

My heart leaped suddenly—

Pei Yuanhao!

Just as I was almost letting out a low voice, he wrapped one hand around my waist, reached out with the other hand, and closed the door with a touch!

The sound of closing the door was like thunder, and it completely woke me up. I realized that I was still leaning in his arms. I hurriedly stood up and turned to look at him: "You - you -"

He stood in front of me, looking at me, without saying anything.

Only then did I see clearly that he was wearing a white long dress he had put on before, soft and loose. The collar was slightly blown by the wind that had just closed the door. His long hair was scattered on his shoulders, and some were entangled on his pale cheeks. The dark and deep eyes were like a bottomless deep pool, and nothing could be seen except that I reflected my figure.

His whole person was trembling slightly.

At first, I didn't notice it, but when he staggered forward and walked in front of me, I realized that he was trembling violently, as if he was about to fall to the point at any time.

And the next moment, he really fell to me, and he pressed towards me like a mountain of jade.

"ah!"

I exclaimed, and before I could even hurry up, he pressed on me. I was pressed by his heavy body and fell back, but my entire back hit the door, and there was another clang.

The back of my head was hit with a dull pain.

He pressed against me, and his warm body was trembling violently, and his chin was knocking against my shoulders, and his breathing was heard in his ears, which were also rapid and tense. As soon as I lowered my head, I saw the cold sweat on his forehead gathering one by one, dripping along the outline of his cheeks, flowing onto my shoulders.

My emotions have almost not calmed down, and my heart is beating like thunder, and I whispered: "You - are you awake?"

He didn't say anything, as if all his strength had been put into standing and movement just now. Even if he was just breathing at this moment, he had no time to take care of himself.

I subconsciously stretched out my hand, held his arms that were hanging on both sides, and said softly: "You, stand up first."

He didn't say anything or move, but his hot breath blew hard in my ears.

My ears were also slightly red by the temperature, and I wanted to push him away, but my heavy body was unable to shake me. I could only turn my head and look at his cheeks soaked in sweat, saying, "You're the end--"

At this moment, he finally spoke and said almost silently: "Don't let people know, I'm awake!"

My heart beat: "Why?"

"Now, don't ask," he said this sentence almost gritted his teeth, and then he became even more exhausted and almost collapsed. I could only reach out and hug his waist hard to barely support him to stand. He leaned almost all over his body against me, his cheeks against my shoulders, and gasped for a few more rapid sounds, then said, "Help me and go back."

“…”

At this time, I almost subconsciously wanted to ask someone to help. After all, such a big man was already the heaviest burden on me. But when I heard what he had just said and remembered the way he had just reached out to grab me, I knew that he was not going to let anyone except me know about his waking up.

So I clenched my teeth, wrapped one of his hands behind my neck, and helped him up.

He had almost no strength at all. After I moved a step, he dragged his feet forward, and even walked out every step, the cold sweat on his face dripped down his chin, and a flower bloomed on the ground.

It was a short distance of several meters, but it seemed like a journey of tens of millions of miles.

At the end, I almost used all my strength. Seeing that the bed was right in front of me, I grabbed his wrist and wanted him to turn over and lie down, but he suddenly slid down from my shoulders and pulled me with the flow. I was pulled down by him, and I fell heavily on the couch.

"Um!"

Before I could come back to my senses, a heavy thing behind me had already pressed up.

This made my eyes pop up, and I panted and raised my head, only to see that most of his body was pressing on my back, and one hand was still wrapped around my neck.

The two of them were so close to each other, and he looked at me and I looked at him.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his pale face.
