The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned

"The biggest dream of human beings in life is to lie down after eating." Meng Xuanhe rested his head on his hands and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"Indeed." Xie Lin smiled when he heard that. It seemed that up to now, Meng Xuanhe had no signs of leaving.

"Why is the princess so nice to Xiao Qi?" Xie Lin was perceptive and noticed that she was a little different today.

"Uh..." She was of course frightened by Yan Qing, and hurried to improve her favorability and curry favor with him. Although Xie Lin would not let her go in the future, at least now, she could still avoid Yan Qing.

"I've always been like this." Meng Xuanhe said with a smile.

"Well, the princess has always been very good to Xiao Qi." Xie Lin nodded with a very sincere look.

"Well, Xiaoqi, let me ask you, if someone wants to kill me one day, what will you do?" Meng Xuanhe hooked his fingers, feeling uneasy.

"Then Xiaoqi, let that person disappear first." Xie Lin raised a kind and friendly smile, as bright and warm as the spring breeze melting snow.

"What if that person is very important to Xiaoqi, far more important than me." Meng Xuanhe was naturally talking about Yan Qing. With Yan Qing's indifference, if he knew that the princess had imprisoned Xie Lin for a whole year and tortured her day and night, he would have skinned her alive.

"There is no such person." Xie Lin murmured, well, no one can be more important than the princess.

She was happy for a while, then sad for a while. She couldn't really tell what she felt, it was so complicated and changeable.

So Meng Xuanhe changed the topic in time, played with him again, and told him a few stories when he was tired.

The whole day passed like this. At night, Li Qing came to the West Pavilion with a medicine box. When he saw Meng Xuan and Zai Shi, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Your Highness, Princess?" Li Qing asked hesitantly. The princess had ordered him to check Xie Lin's pulse and take care of his body every day. Xie Lin's skin injuries from the princess' torture were all healed, but he was still a little weak and needed more care.

Li Qing is 100% sure that he can restore Xie Lin to health, but the prerequisite is that the princess will not torture Xie Lin again.

So when he saw the princess in the West Pavilion again, he cast a vigilant look at her. He silently blocked Xie Lin behind him, as if he didn't want Meng Xuanhe to get close to Xie Lin.

This protective look made Meng Xuanhe really embarrassed.

"The imperial physician is here to check Xiao Qi's pulse, right? Then I will go back first."

Just as Meng Xuanhe was about to step out of the room, Xie Lin suddenly hugged her from behind with his arms around her waist.

Xie Lin was two heads taller than her. Meng Xuanhe leaned on his chest and felt his warm heartbeat. He suddenly reached out and stroked Meng Xuanhe's head, twisting her hair with his fingertips.

The soft black hair tangled in his hands, and he suddenly leaned forward and buried his head in the crook of her neck. The delicate fragrance of the woman beside him came, which was similar to the smell in his dreams every time at midnight, making him feel at ease and indulged.

Meng Xuanhe was held tightly in his arms. She looked petite and delicate in Xie Lin's broad chest. Feeling his steady and strong heartbeat, the little deer in her heart also kept up with the rhythm.

"Don't go." Xie Lin whispered in her ear, as if bewitching her, stirring Meng Xuanhe's heartstrings.

Li Qing:?

I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have come here from the beginning. If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have seen them. If I hadn't seen them, I wouldn't have fallen to such a sad state.

"Stop making trouble, let Doctor Li take a look." Meng Xuanhe struggled in his arms and broke free from his restraints.

Li Qing was standing aside with his head down, not intending to watch their flirting.

"I won't leave. I'll come back after it's over." Meng Xuanhe felt that she was just like a parent sending her child to kindergarten. After coaxing him in, she would slip away.

Xie Lin obviously didn't believe it and refused to let her go.

Meng Xuanhe had no choice but to stay and sit aside.

"Judging from the pulse, there is no big problem, but stomach disease cannot be cured. As for the princess's previously damaged throat, it is gradually healing." Xie Lin has been cooperating with the treatment, and the effect of the treatment has been very good.

Li Qing prescribed a lot of mild medicines based on Xie Lin's actual condition. His throat was much better than before, and he no longer felt the knife-like pain when eating.

But what the princess did was too cruel. The damage to Xie Lin's throat will never be fully healed in this lifetime. All he can do is try to recuperate and reduce the pain.

Meng Xuanhe felt very distressed, but she was powerless. The only thing she could do was to accompany Xie Lin during this period.

After sending Doctor Li away, Xie Lin came up to her again, hugging her soft waist tightly and rubbing against her, like a well-behaved little puppy.

"That's great, Princess. Xiaoqi's body is recovering and she will be able to see the light soon." Xie Lin was delighted.

He hoped that he could be of some use to the princess, and perhaps in this way, the princess would stay with him forever.

"Well, the mountains are high and the waters are vast, the rivers are clear and the seas are peaceful, Xiaoqi can also see the outside world." Meng Xuanhe smiled and was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

"But Xiaoqi doesn't want to see the outside world. Xiaoqi only has the princess in his eyes." Xie Lin said aggrievedly. Will the princess chase him away after his eyesight recover?

A boundless sense of fear came over Xie Lin. When he thought about leaving the princess, he felt as if he was in the vast ocean, drifting aimlessly in eternal darkness with no end in sight.

"Princess, please don't abandon Xiaoqi. If you want to drive Xiaoqi away after I regain my sight, I would rather never see again." A fierce expression flashed across Xie Lin's face, and he grasped the white cloth in front of him, ready to tear it off.

Meng Xuanhe widened his eyes. This kid has such divergent thinking?

"Xiao Qi, I don't mean to abandon you." Meng Xuanhe held his hand and said soothingly.

"I'm happy for you. You can finally see the light." She smiled softly and adjusted the position of the white cloth that Xie Lin had twisted.

"Yeah." Xie Lin responded softly and stopped moving.

Light? Actually, the princess is my light, my moon.

The two of them had their own thoughts in their hearts. Meng Xuanhe was thinking at this time that he must pull Xie Lin back on track and pursue his career and plot. Only when he knew that he was living an inhuman life would he not be so obedient to the princess.

After his eyesight was completely restored, she took him to Bianjing City to see how normal people lived.

"Princess, can you stay tonight?" Xie Lin asked cautiously.

Meng Xuanhe thought about it and shook his head.

"Why didn't the princess wake up Xiaoqi when she came last night?" Xie Lin sighed, a look of disappointment on his face.

Meng Xuanhe was slightly surprised that she left before dawn. He was fast asleep when she came and when she left, so how did Xie Lin find out that she had been there?

Meng Xuan and herself didn't know how thoroughly Xie Lin understood her. He could sense her every move, every frown and every smile.

"Forget it, let's stay here tonight." Meng Xuanhe looked at his lost expression and suddenly couldn't bear to do it.

Xie Lin was instantly overwhelmed with joy. Today he did not go to bed, but slept directly on the chaise longue, looking very happy.

This kid is really pushing his luck.

He had closed his eyes, calm and peaceful, but his frown still revealed his nervousness. Meng Xuanhe just found it funny to see Xie Lin's nervous look.

"You don't want to sleep in the bed? Then I will go."

Meng Xuanhe naturally would not sleep in the same bed with him, so he went straight to the couch.

Xie Lin opened his eyes and bit his lip. It seemed that he was not what he imagined. Meng Xuanhe didn't care about him. She didn't sleep well last night, so she took a nap. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.

Xiao Qi naturally refused, but he did not act rashly. After staying on the chaise longue for a while and making sure Meng Xuanhe was asleep, he sneaked onto the bed.

The bed was wide, more than enough to accommodate two people. However, he seemed not satisfied with sleeping on the same bed, and with his big hand he pulled Meng Xuanhe into his arms.

The girl seemed to have had a sweet dream, with a cute smile on her lips. Xie Lin couldn't see it, but he could feel her joy.

"Good night, Princess." Xie Lin leaned over and kissed Meng Xuanhe on the forehead. His cold lips lingered, without a trace of lust, only infinite piety. After a long time, he reluctantly left.

Outside the window, there was a bright moon, perfect and round. The light seeped through the white cloth covering Xie Lin's eyes.
