While Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were immersed in this long-lost tenderness, in another corner of the capital, Prince Yun's Mansion.

"ah!"

"don't want!"

"don't want……"

On the bed, Qi Xingyun closed his eyes tightly and frowned.

In his sleep, he uttered painful murmurs, as if he was experiencing the most terrifying thing.

Outside the house, the maid who was keeping watch heard the sound and quickly entered the house.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

The maid just walked to the bedside and reached out her hand to push Qi Xingyun gently.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed before his eyes.

"ah!"

The maid screamed and fell to the ground.

A popping sound woke up Qi Xingyun on the bed.

He sat up suddenly and found that his whole body was wet with cold sweat again. He was holding a sword in his hand, and blood was still dripping from one end of the sword.

On the ground in front of the bed, a maid lay lying in a pool of blood.

Qi Xingyun came to his senses, quickly dropped the sword in his hand, jumped out of bed, and picked up the maid.

He probed under the maid's nose with his fingers, and there was still breath.

He quickly carried the maid to his bed and laid her down, then took the pills that he had spent a lot of money to get and stuffed them into the maid's mouth.

Then he tore off a corner of his obscene clothes and tied the maid's injured part tightly.

"Someone is coming!"

Outside the house, a guard quickly rushed in.

"Your Majesty..."

Just as the guard called out, he suddenly saw blood on the ground and the maid lying on the bed.

The guard's expression tightened, and he quickly pulled out the sword from his waist and came to Qi Xingyun to protect Qi Xingyun behind him.

"There are no assassins, people are injured by me."

Qi Xingyun pushed the guard away and said in a deep voice.

Under the light, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and his tone of voice revealed weakness and frustration.

The guard did not dare to ask more questions, but he was suspicious.

He has been with the prince for several years. The prince is the God of War in Da Qi. He is like a god in using soldiers and is even more heroic in killing enemies on the battlefield.

Privately, he is friendly to the soldiers at the bottom.

When he is outside, he is even more friendly to the people. He often does good deeds such as building bridges and paving roads.

He is a well-known virtuous king in Daqi. When it comes to his prince, everyone praises him and everyone disapproves of him.

In the palace, he also kept a clean mind. Not to mention that the position of the principal concubine and side concubine was always vacant, and the prince had not even touched the bed-warming maid sent by the empress.

Be diligent and friendly to others.

However, in recent times, for some reason, the prince has been acting a little strange.

Especially when sleeping, I always have nightmares.

When you wake up from a nightmare, you will feel depressed for a while.

Sometimes I would wake up with a headache. I was not allowed to call the imperial doctor when I was in pain, and I was not allowed to tell anyone about it. When the pain was the most unbearable, I would lock myself in the study and smash things crazily.

Tonight it was even worse. He actually wounded this maid with a sword in his sleep.

The maid has a low life, and the prince can kill as many as he wants. However, the guards are a little worried about the prince...

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask a doctor to come over and take a look?" the guard couldn't help but said.

"Your appearance makes this subordinate really worried..." he added.

Qi Xingyun raised his hand and interrupted the guard.

"It doesn't matter to me, I had a nightmare and accidentally hurt her," he said.

"Take her away and treat her injuries. Don't make any noise about what happened tonight." He warned.

The guard nodded: "I obey."

The guard walked over, picked up the maid, and was about to take her away when he was stopped by Qi Xingyun.

"Two days from tomorrow, I will accompany my father to the Xishan Hunting Ground for hunting. I don't want any news about what happened tonight to leak out and people with ulterior motives to make a fuss about it."

"This maid has been placed in a place for the past few days to allow her to recover. After the hunting is over, she will be released," Qi Xingyun said.

The guard is Qi Xingyun's confidant, he understands.

This hunt was an excellent opportunity for the prince to show off his talents in front of the emperor.

Although the East Palace already has an owner, as long as the person in the East Palace does not take that position for a day, everything will change.

My prince is so outstanding and well-known, he is truly the pride of heaven.

Thinking of this, the guard said with a serious face: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand. If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will go down first."

Qi Xingyun waved his hand.

The guard quickly left the house with the unconscious maid.

Qi Xingyun turned around, looked at the large pool of blood left at his feet, and frowned tightly again.

The previous dream resurfaced in his mind again.

The overwhelming red color and the pungent smell of blood lingering in the nose.

Qi Xingyun covered his chest and staggered back to the desk in the corner, then sat down on the chair almost exhausted.

"Why?"

"Why do you always have that dream since you were little?"

He murmured, racking his brains to recall the scene in his dream.

Every time, he seemed to be looking through a blurry screen.

I saw a blurry figure lying on the ground, with a lot of blood...

Although he couldn't see clearly who the person who fell to the ground was or what he looked like, his intuition told him that it was a woman.

It was a man who killed that woman.

Because in his dream, he also saw a pair of men's feet...

"ah!"

He let out a low roar of pain, and his head seemed to be splitting.

Every time he thought about this dream carefully and wanted to see the man's face clearly and the feet upwards, his head felt like it would explode in pain.

This dream will not happen for no reason, and he will have this dream for more than ten years.

Things were a little better in the past few years, but this year, for some reason, this dream has appeared frequently.

Every time he had this dream, his temperament would become violent, cruel, and even murderous.

In his sleep, he kills people.

He was very afraid of himself like this, which made him feel as if there was another person hiding in his body.

That person shared this body with him, so he couldn't fully control it.

This feeling of not being completely in control made him feel very insecure.

Qi Xingyun recalled that before he was ten years old, he lived in the palace and was raised by the empress of the palace.

It was the first time he had such a nightmare, and he was so frightened that he cried.

In front of his father during the day, the Queen Mother was so kind to him, but in that late night, when he longed for the warm embrace and touch of a mother,

She just looked at him coldly and gave him a warning look.

Then, he threw him to the nanny beside him.

After he was ten years old, he decisively went to the military camp and asked to start as a soldier.

It's not that he likes to suffer, but that he is afraid of loneliness and wants to have more people. The more people there are, and if everyone can talk and make trouble together, he will not have that kind of dream, and he will not be afraid.
