"This time, you seem to have made a mistake."

When I heard this sentence that he almost said lightly, I felt a numbness on my back, and suddenly a feeling of indescribable surges into my heart, suffocating my breath.

I looked into his eyes: "What do you say about Your Highness?"

“…”

But he didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly and lowered his head. I finally got my breath back, but at this time I felt my mind sinking again. The coldness that might contain in his words made me feel a little breathless. After a long time, I said softly: "No matter what, your Highness, your body is yours."

“…”

"Even if it's for the purpose of punishing yourself, you shouldn't use this method."

“…”

"What's more, no one can punish you. No matter what happens, I understand very well, it's not that you did it wrong."

“…”

When I said this, I finally saw his ice-like eyes melting. I sighed slightly and said, "Your Highness, you must be very tired."

This sentence is like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I heard him sigh deeply, as if there was really an invisible burden pressing on his shoulders, making his bones break. At this moment, he finally couldn't hold on and his whole body collapsed a little. I hurriedly winked at the maids serving behind them. They immediately came forward to help him up and slowly walked to the place where the side palace rested.

This is specially used for rest for the guards, and tonight, other people naturally dare not come here, so in such a large side hall, there are only a few of us. I asked the maids to go down and prepare some hot soup rice, and slowly walked to the chair next to him to sit down.

Neither of them spoke immediately, but just listened to the monks in front of them chanting scriptures in a low voice. The side hall was a bit strangely quiet.

After a while, he slowly raised his head and looked at me, saying, "Why didn't Miss Yan ask me?"

I also turned to look at him and said, "Your Highness must be very sad now."

“…”

"I think at this time, everyone needs some time to accept this fact and endure this grief."

“…”

"Let's talk until your highness wants to say it."

The cold breath of his body slowly dissipated, as if even the ice in his eyes had melted. At this moment, a little ripples appeared. He sighed and said softly: "It seems that I was wrong just now. Miss Yan is still the most understanding person."

I didn't answer this, just looked at him.

He was quiet for a while before saying, "Miss Yan still remembers that when I came to you that day, she told you that my mother was not willing to mention the past, especially when I asked her why she was separated from me, she was unwilling to mention it."

I nodded.

He said, "But later, I also heard Miss Yan's words. In fact, those are things from the past. Being able to meet her again and recognize her again is God's favor. I really shouldn't ask too much. So, after I went back, I didn't ask about those things anymore, just stayed with her."

"This is very good."

"But her emotions were dripping, and she was depressed every moment."

“…”

"Later, she wasn't even willing to see anyone, so she locked herself in the room."

"oh……?"

"I thought at first that she felt uncomfortable because she remembered something before, and I didn't bother her, but later, I found something was wrong. When I entered her room again, I realized that she was almost out of reach."

“…”

When I heard this, my mood became heavier.

When I woke up early, I suddenly heard the news that Concubine Zhao was sick from Kou'er. It was enough to surprise me. What I didn't expect was that when I got there, Chang Qing had already come out to announce Concubine Bintian. All this happened too quickly and I couldn't react at all. Until now, when I heard Pei Ningyuan say this, I knew the reason for the matter.

I didn't expect that the truth was like this.

No wonder Pei Ningyuan was so painful just now. Anyone had already experienced the reunion with his mother and thought he could be happy from now on, but suddenly he had to face his mother's death. This gap from heaven to earth is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

He can hold on until now, and it will be difficult to win.

My throat was slightly quarrel, and after a while, I said softly: "Your Highness, over the years, I have watched the concubine reach this point today. In fact, she has really endured too many misfortunes in her life. If anyone had been, I was afraid she would not have been to this day, but she persisted until she recognized you."

“…”

"I think it's already the limit to perseverance until now."

“…”

"As a mother, she has done her best."

Tears flashed in Pei Ningyuan's eyes. After a while, he choked and said, "I know."

“…”

"I know she has experienced a lot of hardships, some things I know, and some things she refuses to say. I know she must have a lot of things in her heart and didn't have time to say them."

“…”

"I just-I am her last relative in this world. She should believe me. If there is something, she should tell me and let me face it with her."

“…”

"But she never said that."

“…”

"She didn't say until she died."

I didn't see with my own eyes how Concubine Zhao took her last breath, but looking at Pei Ningyuan now, I could almost imagine how heartbreaking that scene was. Perhaps that was the case, which made Pei Ningyuan, a determined and self-restrained person, so heartbreaking.

I sighed. At this moment, the maids brought food. I asked them to put it on the small table beside Pei Ningyuan and advised him to eat a little, but he shook his head and refused to move.

And when I looked at his flashing gaze, it seemed that something was still pressing on his heart.

Thinking of this, I waved my hand and asked the maids to retreat, then turned to look at him, and said, "Can Concubine Zhao really left a word, and just left?"

His eyes flashed suddenly.

I immediately realized something, and Pei Ningyuan frowned and remained silent for a long time, his hands and fingers crossed tightly, and said, "She, when she was unconscious, she only said one sentence."

I suddenly felt my heart beating a little fast, but I still tried my best to suppress my throbbing heart and said in a deep voice: "Then, what did the concubine say."

Pei Ningyuan seemed to think about it for a while before slowly saying: "She, she finally said four words to me."

“…”
