When I returned to Nanshan Pavilion, I saw Li Zhenrui sitting in a gazebo drinking tea. In front of the pavilion was the unique sparkling lake in Nanshan Pavilion.

Sitting next to Li Zhenrui was Shangguan Wenya, the two were talking and laughing.

"Xi'er is back?" He looked up and saw me, his eyes lit up.

I nodded to him, "Can the emperor and Lord Xiling swim across the lake? I asked Dieyi to arrange it for you."

Shangguan Wenya was a little surprised.

Li Zhenrui stopped Dieyi, "No need, it's not too late to swim another day."

"it is good."

Seeing Shangguan Wenya's right hand clutching Li Zhenrui's little finger, Li Zhenrui held his hand back and whispered something in Shangguan Wenya's ear, and Shangguan Wenya blushed slightly.

I took a step back and felt a complete silence all over me.

The distance between them is very close, and the intimacy is not fake. If there was a trace of deliberation in the banquet that day, it is a genuine affection now, which makes it difficult for me to ignore it.

I know that Li Zhenrui doesn't like getting too close to people.

When Shangguan Wenya entered the palace, he took care of him a lot, but never made any physical contact. Now he not only calls him "Ya'er", but also almost sticks to him. Moreover, this is not for me to see, but for me. is their daily life.

It's not that I'm supercilious, but that their relationship has changed before I knew it.

My expression is still calm, but I can't hide the bitterness in my heart.

Shangguan Wenya smiled at me, turned around and said to Li Zhenrui, "Since Mr. Nanshan is here, I would like to ask you to leave first. Cousin's health is getting worse, I want to go and see him."

"Okay, let's go." Li Zhenrui waved to him, and Shangguan Wenya bowed and left.

There was a layer of ripples on the surface of the lake, and I gathered my clothes. I didn't expect that the warm spring would make me feel cold.

Li Zhenrui put a cloak on me, and hugged me lightly, "Is it still cold?"

I bowed my head in silence.

Li Zhenrui rested his chin on my shoulder and said with a smile, "The Nanshan Pavilion has not been newly built, and there are still many gaps. If Xi'er wants anything, you can tell me, huh?"

Warm breath wrapped around my neck, I turned slightly sideways and said, "The imperial doctor told me to go out for a walk more."

"Well, I know." Li Zhenrui smiled, "I heard that you went to Mr. Beichen just now, so please don't get sick."

I shook my head and cast my eyes on the residual lotus on the lake, "I want to go to other places in the palace, but I'm tired of seeing the places I often go to."

"Okay." Li Zhenrui smiled pleasantly, "Xi'er can go anywhere she wants, and it's better to come to the Palace of Longevity."

"I'm afraid it will disturb the dream of mandarin ducks between the emperor and Lord Xiling." I said lightly.

Li Zhenrui stopped laughing, a little embarrassed and aggrieved, "I also need it sometimes..." He said it cryptically, but I still felt so stuffy that I couldn't breathe.

I broke away from his hand, "Your Majesty, please go back earlier, it's time for me to rest."

"Xie'er angry?" Li Zhenrui took my hand and refused to let go, teasingly said, "I like you the most."

I like it the most, but it's just like it.

I stroked my forehead tiredly, "Weichen is a little tired."

Seeing that I was already chasing a guest, Li Zhenrui had no choice but to leave slowly with a sigh.

And I tossed and turned on the couch, but couldn't fall asleep.

There are too many thoughts in my head, which makes me a little bored.

Li Zhenrui's past is a past that I will never be able to get involved in. It is too difficult to break through that heavy shackle.

But now there are Shangguan Wenya and those young men from Liyuan, Li Zhenrui and I are no longer just me and him.

If I accept him, will history repeat itself?

If I stay away from him, can I really let go?

Going one step further to smash one's body to pieces, taking a step back to cut off one's righteousness, one is at a loss as to how to advance or retreat.

It's really cutting constantly, and the rationale is still messed up.

I don't know when, I woke up in a haze, and when I looked outside, it was already dark.

Dieyi was still in front of my room. Seeing that the light in the room was on, she asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

"Are you still asleep?" I put on my clothes and called her in.

"Your Majesty doesn't even have dinner, you will definitely be hungry at night, so the slaves are preparing." Dieyi laughed.

Then she went out to give another order, and after a while, the servants filed in and arranged the dishes one by one.

I asked them all to go back to rest, and only Dieyi stayed with me for dinner.

Since I came back in the afternoon and slept until midnight, my stomach was indeed growling. I ate the dishes in front of me in twos and twos, and was surprised to find that my appetite was surprisingly good.

Dieyi tidied up in relief, and wanted to help me wash up.

I waved my hand, "I just woke up, why not go for a walk to digest food."

Dieyi nodded, then hesitated and said, "It's just that it's late at night, your majesty should wear more."

"it is good."

Dieyi put on a fleece windbreaker for me, and asked two guards to follow me, so I was relieved to go out.

In fact, I was only here because of my excitement, but under the moonlight like today, my heart is much more peaceful than before.

I originally planned to take a stroll in the pavilion, but at night the pavilion was pitch dark and there was water, so it was not safe, so I had to leave Nanshan Pavilion and walk on the secluded palace road.

Passing by Shangguan's elegant bedroom, the inner hall is brightly lit, but no one is on duty.

By coincidence, I ordered the guards to stay outside the door, opened the door and walked in.

If I knew what happened in it, I would rather never set foot in it in my life.

The hall was very quiet, and there was a slight strange sound from a distance, which made me suspicious.

My heart beat a little faster, I don't know if it was inexplicable curiosity or faint anxiety.

I hastened a few steps and arrived outside Shangguan Wenya's bedroom.

I walked a few steps forward, the door was not closed, it could even be said to be wide open, but the scene inside made my mind go blank.

Li Zhenrui was pressing on Shangguan Wenya's body, the two of them were stripped of their clothes, their bodies were intertwined, sweating profusely, they had already forgotten everything around them.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined it.

Leaning helplessly against the big tree in front of the door, I closed my eyes in pain.

The air around me seemed to be sucked out, making it hard for me to breathe.

The last thing I wanted to see happened, and it happened in such a sudden and unexpected way.

My hands and feet were cold, and the blood in my whole body seemed to flow to my brain, and I had a headache.

Coughing again and again could not be suppressed.

Dieyi patted me on the back anxiously, as if talking about something, followed by the sound of messy footsteps, and there seemed to be many people standing in front of me.

But I coughed so hard that I didn't have the strength to look up. Every cough felt like a stab in my heart, painful and desperate.

"Xi'er, how are you?" Li Zhenrui's voice seemed to be heard.

But as soon as his hand touched my shoulder, I shook it off in disgust, "Don't touch me."

The sharpness of the voice startled me myself, Li Zhenrui froze in place, and Shangguan Wenya was bewildered in his clothes.

"Don't touch me." I softened my tone, but exhausted all my strength, "Li Zhenrui, we are really doomed."

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I coughed again, and a large red flower was already infected on my chest.

I looked at the blood on the front, and my heart felt cold.

I am only in my early twenties this year, and I have already vomited blood many times. This is a sign of premature death, which is very ominous.

"Xi'er..." Li Zhenrui panicked, wanted to help me but stopped quickly, and asked cautiously, "You have to take care of yourself... If you don't like it, I just won't come in the future."

Li Zhenrui's almost pleading tone didn't make me feel better, but the angina got worse.

The huge mood swings tonight triggered my heart palpitations. I had a big belly, but I bent over involuntarily, my legs trembled, and I could no longer stand.

Li Zhenrui couldn't help but picked me up, and while calling for the imperial physician, he quickly carried me away from Shangguan's gentle bedroom.

The physical torture finally left me no time to be sad, and I passed out in fits of angina pectoris.
