"In that case - there is trouble."

Mu Qiu looked at him, lightly twisted his sleeve twice with the hand hanging by his side, suddenly smiled in relief, and nodded slightly.

Only then did Liandong relax, and she talked more and more, she smiled and took his hand and said: "That's right. In my opinion, you should go out more - such a beautiful spring, if you are stuck on the couch all day It’s really bad for your health.”

Mu Qiu couldn't help laughing, but she also gently let him pull her, and said with a smile, "That's right, I'll follow what you said, go out and get some air... I wonder if you can give me a helping hand?"

"Of course, I can come back around this time every day, and tomorrow I will push you out to get some fresh air."

Liandong nodded again and again, with a smile on his face.Mu Qiu looked at the smiling eyes in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled and asked curiously: "By the way, I never asked - can you play chess?"

"I——should be able to..."

Liandong felt guilty when he saw him, subconsciously shifted his eyes and responded.Thinking that playing chess will not be the same as one person, he also secretly smiled and said that he was too careful, nodded and said: "Chess is okay, there are not many people who know Go, and they play wild moves... ...do you want to play chess?"

"Ye Luzi is fine, I'm stuck here and have nothing to do, would you like to play two games of chess with me?"

Mu Qiu nodded with a smile, but just said a word, suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth hastily, coughed several times, and covered his palm indiscriminately.Seeing his familiar movements, Liandong felt glaring, and raised her hand to stop him without any explanation, and when she turned over her palm, it was a dazzling bright red.

"It's been like this for a long time, and it doesn't really matter..."

Seeing his sad eyes, Mu Qiu pursed his lips, then smiled and explained warmly, then frowned slightly, closed his eyes and slowly adjusted his breath.Liandong clenched her mouth tightly, and carefully took the handkerchief to wipe off the blood on his palm: "Even if there is nothing wrong, vomiting blood like this is not a solution, but is there any diagnosis and treatment?"

Mu Qiu opened his eyes and looked at him. After a moment of silence, he smiled helplessly, and shook his head slightly: "It's not an injury, it's because my body is gradually weakening, so I have a natural reaction... I was originally pulled back from the soil. Yes, it is impossible to live alive and kicking like ordinary people, but it is just such a reluctant support."

Liandong's heart tightened suddenly, feeling dryness in his throat, forced a smile and said in a low voice: "It may not be like that—don't be so discouraged, what if there is a way to detoxify..."

"Yeah——Isn't it because of this method that I have worked so hard to live until now?"

Mu Qiu smiled faintly, showing a little carefreeness in his usual gentleness. He raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "I don't take it seriously. Although I know it in my heart, I don't feel that I am trapped by life and death. I was running around in vain, frowning all day long, and I couldn't help feeling a little apologetic..."

Before he finished speaking, Liandong stretched his brows quickly, forcing himself to laugh: "I won't frown anymore, don't worry, we are all fine. Isn't it just a few herbs? Just find it, you say right?"

"Correct."

Mu Qiu couldn't help but chuckled, and answered solemnly.After calming down for a while, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How about it, do you still want to play chess?"

"Play chess, of course you have to play—you wait, I'll bring the chessboard right away."

Liandong nodded vigorously, stood up and fetched the chessboard to lay it on, and then pushed the white piece to him: "Watch the white first, you go first, I can learn a little bit."

"Shall I go first..."

Mu Qiu couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly, and holding the chess piece without thinking, it landed on the Tianyuan star position, looked at him with a light smile, and said, "If I put it here, how would you learn it?"

"There is only one Tianyuan, but there are still many star positions, so there is nothing to learn."

Liandong responded casually, dropped the sunspot on the bottom right, touched his head and said with a smile: "I really don't know how to do it. It's not easy to know when to pick and how to lose. Don't you If you bother too much, just treat it as playing with me, don't bully too much, or I will run away halfway."

Mu Qiu couldn't help laughing, but also nodded patiently, and sure enough, he relaxed his posture a little more.Liandong heaved a sigh of relief, and finally played chess with him with confidence.

Although I didn't feel anything at the beginning, but after the two of them went back and forth for a while, Liandong felt more and more exhausted. Looking at the scattered sunspots on the chessboard, he finally couldn't help throwing his pieces to the chessboard in discouragement. Leaning back: "Forget it, forget it, and say you won't bully me, what's going on here..."

"Where did I bully you? It's not because you are not strong-minded and don't know what you are thinking."

Mu Qiu couldn't help laughing, but he also flicked the chess pieces casually, and leaned back relaxedly, with a faint cold sweat on his forehead.

When Liandong saw the sweat on his forehead, his heart tightened suddenly, and he wiped it off carefully, frowned slightly and said softly: "It's just for fun, why should I be so concerned? I don't care, if it takes too much effort, Can your body hold it up?"

"I didn't expend my energy, I just made a random move..."

Mu Qiu shook his head slightly, leaned on the soft pillow and smiled faintly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "It's just that my body refuses to live up to it... Usually as long as I sit for a long time, I will feel sore everywhere , it's getting warmer again these days, and the weather is a little damp..."

"Then lie down and rest, come, let me help you."

Liandong quickly removed the things on the couch, carefully helped him to lie down, then tentatively helped him to turn sideways, and gently pressed his back: "Is it uncomfortable here? Will it be better if I press it? "

It may be bearable when sitting, but once lying down, the pain seems to be more unbearable.Mu Qiu frowned slightly and nodded slightly, the heaving of his chest became faintly quicker.

Liandong gritted her teeth and sighed very softly.Carefully supporting him to lie on his side, patiently and slowly rubbing his back, feeling the tense body under his palms gradually relax, then he slowed down his voice and said softly: "Do you feel better this way?"

There was no response to the question, Liandong panicked, and quickly looked over, only to see that the man's eyes were slightly closed and his face was calm, he had fallen asleep at some point.

Only then was he slightly relieved, Liandong carefully supported him to lie down again, feeling really uneasy, carefully massaged his legs for him, and then lightly covered his quilt again.

I don't know if it's because of those memories, but when Mu Qiu fell asleep, she wasn't always peaceful. From time to time, she would frown and mutter something in a low voice, but it was difficult to hear clearly.Liandong guarded by the couch for a while, seeing that he was fast asleep, she also got up and left quietly, but just as she reached the door, a clear and low voice suddenly came from behind: "Your Highness—!"

The footsteps stopped suddenly, and Liandong turned around hastily, only to realize that the man was still talking in his sleep.Instinctively, he was about to step forward, but Mu Feng, who was standing at the door at some time, held down his shoulder.

"Uncle Feng, I—"

Liandong took a step forward anxiously, but before he could speak, Mu Feng threw a pill to him, and raised his hand to remove the human skin mask from his face: "Use your original appearance. I'm afraid he has already begun to doubt you." You have to let him know that you are not Lonicera."

"How come, obviously—"

Song Zichen's eyes were a bit stunned, he thought about the details in his memory, but couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

That person——was such a meticulous and sensitive person in the first place...

Mu Qiu was still moaning softly, not knowing what he had dreamed about.Song Zichen took the pill, drank a few more sips of water, walked quickly to the side of the couch, and carefully supported the man's shoulder: "Mu Qiu, Mu Qiu—what's wrong?"

He called several times in a row, and Mu Qiu finally opened his eyes, but the eyes were still dazed and scattered, obviously not fully awake yet.

As soon as he saw the person in front of him, his eyes lit up with a very faint light at first, but then suddenly dimmed, and he struggled to prop up his body and wanted to kneel on the ground.It's just that his current body is obviously unable to support such a movement. After struggling twice, he went back weakly. His throat was full of fishy sweetness, and the dark red blood was coughing out uncontrollably.

Song Zichen's heart ached, he hurriedly pulled him into his arms, and carefully wiped the blood from the corners of his lips with his sleeve: "Mu Qiu, Mu Qiu—don't worry, if you want something, tell me, don't worry .Be good, relax, relax..."

Mu Qiu looked at him in a trance, with a bit of confusion and fear in his eyes, but he really couldn't resist the deep involvement hidden in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Your Highness... are you not angry with me?"

Suddenly he understood which memory he was trapped in, Song Zichen gasped for breath twice, tears could not stop falling: "No, Mu Qiu——It was my mistake, it was my mistake, you Blame me...Mu Qiu, you can punish me however you want, it's my fault, it's all me..."

Before he finished speaking, that pale and cool hand suddenly reached out with difficulty, and carefully wiped away the tears on his face.

Facing those eyes full of guilt and remorse, Mu Qiu smiled slightly, her brows and eyes stretched into a gentle arc: "It's fine if your highness doesn't get angry, I blame your highness for what... well, take care of yourself." Why are you crying like this..."

In a trance, he seemed to return to those irretrievable years. He knelt beside Mu Qiu and begged for forgiveness, and he was forgiven and relieved by that person.Song Zichen suddenly couldn't bear the intense soreness and bitterness in his chest anymore, and carefully hugged the man into his arms, tears finally rolled down his face.

He had waited too long for this sentence, because of those irreparable mistakes, he was suffering all the time.Even with Mu Qiu's tolerance, she still couldn't help but guess what Mu Qiu's state of mind was at that time, whether she would forgive herself, whether she chose to indulge herself after her heart died.

Although such a selfish thought almost made him feel ashamed to say it—but when he finally waited for this sentence, it seemed that he had completely removed the last boulder in his heart, leaving only a vast expanse of plains.

He didn't want to think about anything else—he just hoped that there was a way to keep this man alive.
