"If you don't want to watch him die, just sit here obediently!"

He almost gritted his teeth and said this sentence, and his cheeks were slightly distorted and deformed due to the forceful gritting of his teeth. I haven't seen him with a stern look like he was so harsh that he was shocked even though his heart was so painful that he was no longer conscious.

He looked down at me, his breath was heavy, and my breath was also very rapid.

The two of them seemed to be able to feel each other's heartbeat at such a close distance, and they were completely in chaos at this moment, but this seemed to be the first time that he and I were confused about the same thing and the same person.

After a long silence, he looked at my eyes that had finally calmed down, and then slowly let go of the armrests on both sides of the chair.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, I grabbed his sleeve.

His steps stumbled slightly.

He didn't look back, I just looked at his somewhat stiff shoulders, remained silent for a while, and said with a choking and slightly choked: "Thank you... Your Majesty..."

His breath became heavier.

After a while, he said, "What are you thanking me for?"

“…”

"Do you really think I'm going to save him?"

“…”

"Don't you think I wish he died?"

“…”

"Maybe, I just won't let you see him die with your own eyes!"

I don’t know why I said that at this time. Although he had no guarantee of anything, let alone what he was going to do to prevent Qinghan from dying, at this moment, I really believed him completely and handed Qinghan’s life to his hands.

I looked at him blankly, and after a long time, I slowly said, "If this is true...then it may be his life."

“…”

"Yes, my life."

“…”

I felt that at this moment, there must be a storm in his chest, but he didn't say a word, just pulled his sleeves over a little stiffly.

A gust of wind suddenly hit my face, and when my vision became clear again, his back had disappeared from the door.

From a distance, you can still hear the sound of the guards retreating in panic.

Then, the door was closed.

I sat in this ring chair blankly. Although he had left and had no power to imprison me, at this time, I didn't dare to leave. At this moment, it seemed that only the world in this small ring chair was safe. If I didn't leave here, I could get a brief peace.

And Qinghan... he won't have any trouble.

Although it was already summer and the sun was hot, there was a strange coldness in this room. I felt that the heat in my body was constantly exhausted, and my limbs and five bodies became colder, as if I was in a snowy and ice.

Only the heart, the deepest part, is a little hot.

It is also the hotness of this that allows me to hold on.

Both legs curled up, and my thin arms surrounded myself, as if I was waiting for the verdict of fate. At this time, I saw in a daze outside, there seemed to be someone shaking under the dazzling sunshine outside, but faintly, it seemed as if I heard the voice of Eunuch Yu-

"At this time, don't bother her."

...

Outside, it became quiet again.

Time passes by little by little.

Even though I counted my clear heartbeat, I could not tell how much time I had spent. I only watched the sunlight outside slowly darken, and the light and shadow slowly moved from one side to another. Finally, when the sky was completely dark and someone started hanging lanterns under speechlessness, I heard the voice of Eunuch Yu coming from a distance.

"Hurry, go and tell Miss Yan!"

I stood up from the chair at once, and a little eunuch rushed to the door. He was anxiously about to say something, but when he saw my face pale, he was about to fall down again after shaking, he rushed over and supported me: "Miss Yan, what's wrong with you!"

Probably, I had been sitting in a movement for too long. At this time, my whole body seemed to be out of consciousness, and my eyes were getting darker, but my mind looked down at him with a very clear head: "What's wrong?"

The little eunuch said, "Eunuch Yu asked me to pass on Miss Yan."

“…”

"The Emperor asked you to go there quickly!"

“…!”

When I heard this, I immediately pushed him away and ran outward.

I stumbled all the way, and when I went out, I staggered and almost fell to the ground. When I walked up the steps, I tripped onto the rock steps several times. Fortunately, the little eunuch protected me all the way, and Eunuch Yu stood at the door and hurriedly greeted me: "Ms. Yan."

"Qinghan him-how is he?"

"We don't know this either."

“…”

"But, the Emperor lets you in."

At this moment, I felt that the blood that had frozen into ice in my body began to flow, and I could no longer hear anything in my ears, but I seemed to hear the sudden surging sound again. The blood was rushing wildly. I controlled my heartbeat that was almost about to collapse from my chest, walked up slowly, and gently reached out to support the door frame.

The coolness in the twilight, before I could capture the heat of this place for a day, also made my cold fingers dyed with a hot temperature. I shook slightly and subconsciously pushed open the door.

There was not a single candle in the room.

From the daytime, Pei Yuanhao drove away everyone, leaving only him and Qinghan. For such a long time, no one dared to step into this room. At this moment, under the dim light, I could only vaguely see the pearl curtain in the middle of the room that was so quiet that there was no movement.

Through the bamboo curtain, I saw the bed.

There is also a smell of blood in the air.

Of course I am no stranger to this strong smell of blood, but under such dark light, it is particularly shocking, and even makes my steps unable to move. I can only stand stiffly on this side of the pearl curtain and look at that side silently.

My eyes slowly adapted to such dark light, and I finally saw the situation on the other side of the pearl curtain.

Pei Yuanhao was sitting by the bed, slowly turning his head to look at me.

His face was very pale, even like the ones when the cold poison was fired before, it was a pale pale blood loss. The dim light outside the window hit his face, making him look even more distinct in outlines and his cheekbones were towering high.

He was wearing a bright yellow robe, and at this time he lost his glory in the darkness.

But I clearly saw one of his hands hanging down, as if he was putting it on the bed powerlessly.

Behind that hand is Qinghan.

The thin body has almost merged with the darkness.
