at night.

Huangfu Liyue was lying on the hospital bed, not feeling sleepy.

She turned sideways, staring out the window blankly.

The window in the ward was half open, occasionally a few wisps of cool wind would blow in, and outside the window was darkness.

She looked out the window, worried.

It's so late, and I don't know what's going on with my mother.

Will mother be very hungry and scared?

Thinking of this, she was disturbed and couldn't fall asleep even more.

She sat up, leaned against the bed, picked up the mirror on the bedside table, and looked at the wound on her face.

The fair skin that could be broken by blows is now a little scary.

She lifted the gauze, and she felt a little creepy.

Out of sight, she simply put the mirror back.

Looking up at the clock on the wall, it was past one o'clock at night.

She knew that she was hurt now and needed to rest.

So she lay down again, closed her eyes, and forced herself to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally fell asleep and had that familiar dream.

In the dream, the mother was still in the dark.

But this time, the mother did not ask her for help, but looked at her with love on her face, with deep reluctance in her eyes.

She wants to get close to her mother, but there is an invisible wall in front of her that separates her from her mother. They can only look at each other, but cannot touch.

After looking at each other, she clearly saw tears seeping from her mother's eyes.

"Liyue, don't worry about your mother, you and your father will live a good life."

These words seemed to be the last farewell, which made Huangfu Liyue feel inexplicable fear, and also made her very afraid.

Through the invisible wall in front of her, she hurriedly shouted to her mother: "Mom, don't be afraid, I will definitely rescue you!"

But the mother just wept silently and kept shaking her head, as if there was something unspeakable.

Huangfu Liyue panicked at her mother's reaction.

The desire in her heart to rescue her mother was even stronger.

So, she frantically slapped the transparent wall in front of her that separated her from her mother, trying to rush in to rescue her mother.

But the transparent wall was not damaged, but the mother behind the wall gradually disappeared.

"Mother!"

She yelled at her mother, but to no avail, she could only watch her mother disappear in front of her.

"Mother……"

She squatted on the ground in despair, feeling like a needle pricking her heart.

At the same time, she heard a familiar and gentle voice.

"Liyue, wake up."

When she heard this voice, she suddenly opened her eyes, and finally realized that the scene just now was just a dream.

However, this dream was too real, as if everything had really happened in front of her.

Even after waking up from the dream, she still had panic in her heart.

After staring at the ceiling for a few seconds, she realized that there was a man sitting beside her bed, looking at her tenderly.

When she saw the man sitting by the bed, she sat up with support regardless of the pain in her body, and threw herself directly into his arms.

Mu Jingchen also skillfully opened his arms and embraced her.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The words that came out of his lips calmed down her restless heart.

Leaning in his arms, her eyes turned red inexplicably.

She was not so vulnerable before.

Maybe it was because someone doted on her, and she gradually became less strong.

"Where did you go, why did you come back now?"

Mu Jingchen stroked her back gently, with his chin pressed against her forehead, and said in a low voice: "Before you called me today, I was still dealing with some matters in country E. When I learned that you were injured, I rushed back immediately." gone."

When he said this, he let go, and Huangfu Liyue got up from his arms.

He raised his hand, wanting to touch the wound on her face.

But when he first touched her, he was afraid of hurting her, so he slowly withdrew his hand.

He raised his hand and rubbed her soft long hair, with a slightly hoarse voice, he blamed himself: "I hurt you again."

Huangfu Liyue shook her head, held his hand,

"It has nothing to do with you. The situation at that time was more urgent. I didn't expect it myself. This injury was just an accident."

Mu Jingchen stared at the gauze on her face and the bandage on her arm, frowning.

Even though he was good at hiding his emotions, there was still a bit of distress in his eyes.

Every time he saw her hurt, he would feel extremely guilty.

But he couldn't be by her side all the time.

For example, this time, they were so far apart by a country, and when he heard the news of her injury, he couldn't come to her immediately.

"Liyue, after these things are over, let's go back to Jiangcheng."

In this place where power is paramount, fighting openly and secretly is impossible to guard against, and if you are not careful, your life will be in danger.

He didn't want to live this life every day in the future.

Accustomed to seeing life and death, he tended to be calmer.

Huangfu Liyue nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, when we find our mother, we will go back to Jiangcheng!"

He leaned forward and took her into his arms again.

"It's late, you're injured and you need to rest now."

She shook her head.

"I couldn't sleep thinking that my mother might still be starving and freezing."

"The queen still refuses to reveal the mechanism of the underground palace's secret passage?"

"Of course she refuses, she would rather die with my mother."

Mu Jingchen lowered his head slightly and asked, "Where's the design of the underground palace?"

Speaking of this, Huangfu Liyue got up from his arms, opened the cabinet next to him, and took out the roll of parchment from it.

"This is the design drawing of the underground palace, but most of it has been worn out, and the original appearance cannot be seen at all."

Mu Jingchen took it and took a look, and sure enough, as she said, the blueprint could no longer be seen from its true colors.

After roughly glancing at it, he suddenly felt that the above picture was somewhat familiar, which actually gave him a feeling of déjà vu.

Seeing him staring at the parchment, Huangfu Liyue asked, "Did you see anything?"

"No, we still have to study it."

As he said that, he looked at her and ordered: "Okay, let's not talk about this, lie down, and I will watch you sleep."

It made him worry, so she had to lie down obediently.

The moment she closed her eyes, she suddenly remembered the purpose of calling him back.

She stared at him blankly with her beautiful eyes, and asked curiously: "Jing Chen, how did you mobilize the army of Country E?"

Mu Jingchen pondered for two seconds, and did not intend to hide anything from her.

So, he took off the dragon pattern wrench on his thumb and brought it to her.

She took it in doubt and examined the finger wrench.

After not seeing any clues, he asked again: "What do you mean?"

Mu Jingchen motioned her to look at the finger puller.

"Do you think the pattern inside this finger is very familiar?"

She raised the finger and carefully examined the pattern inside.

In addition to the fine dragon patterns engraved inside, there are also some strange patterns.

It looks a bit like a logo, or a totem.

Looking at the pattern as a whole, it was indeed somewhat familiar, but she still didn't see any clues.
