Day by day, everything seems to be the same, but everything seems to be completely different.

Liandong still came to visit Mu Qiu every day, but his expression seemed to be getting heavier, and his steps were imperceptibly hasty.The servants in the house were inexplicably more nervous than before, as if something had happened, but they carefully concealed it, for fear of disturbing the precarious calm on their faces.

Mu Qiu didn't seem to notice it at all, just chatting and laughing with Lonicera for a while every day as usual, and took the medicine that should be taken happily, never asking even half a word.But his attitude makes people feel more uneasy, and sometimes they can't help but test whether he knows something, but they always find nothing.

"You seem to be having a hard time these days."

Seeing the unconcealable fatigue in the man's eyes, Mu Qiu slightly lowered his eyes and spoke slowly, with a soft and patient tone, "If it's not something that must be done, why not let it go for a while and ask yourself to take a breath—you I have also said that if you push too hard, you might break someone..."

"It's something that must be done..."

Liandong gave a wry smile, rubbed his forehead and sat on the side of the couch, sighed very lightly: "I'm about to finish it, and a few times I feel that it's just a thin line, and I just need to work harder. But But there is always such a small gap, no matter what, it can't be crossed..."

"Don't worry, sometimes that trace cannot be compensated by manpower, but must rely on God's will."

Mu Qiu didn't ask what was the matter, but looked at him gently, smiled and said slowly: "You have always been a very decisive person, and you know the importance of choices. Now you are so impatient, but because the authorities are confused , is this matter very important to you?"

"It's more important than my life. If I can really make it happen, it doesn't matter if I take my life."

Liandong looked at him for a long time before finally speaking word by word.The hand hanging by his side was slowly clenched, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.

Mu Qiu seems to be weaker these days than before. Yesterday he suddenly vomited blood without warning, and now he is very pale. He originally wanted to take that person out to get some air, but he had to hold back, for fear of calling him again. The already fragile body was stimulated a little bit.

Song Zixuan has been driven to a dead end - the prince's assassination has nothing to do with him. Everyone watched the prince being slashed in the chest by a sword in front of everyone. Whether it is him or not is enough to stir up violent waves in the court.

The father's health is also deteriorating, and he may die on that day.The game between the two has reached the final stage, as long as he can completely drive that person to a dead end, there will be a way to get the last blind medicine, and also a way to get Song Zixuan's heart and soul.

There was only the last trace - but it was the last trace that he couldn't achieve no matter what.

He couldn't help being more and more anxious these days, and it was even inevitable that he would express it in words.How long Mu Qiu's body can last, he has no certainty in his heart, and he doesn't even dare to imagine that possibility.He could only think of ways more and more desperately, hoping to secure the winning ticket as soon as possible, so as to drag that person out of the desperate crisis.

Mu Qiu couldn't wait any longer...

"Don't worry, I can afford to wait."

Almost in response to his thoughts, Mu Qiu's gentle voice suddenly came from next to his ears, causing him to shudder subconsciously, and raised his head in astonishment: "What—what did you say?"

"I think...you should know who you need to convey this to."

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, lowered his eyes to stagger his gaze: "Even if I don't remember anything, it's not that I've lost my mind to think about it... I can see some things. The servants are getting more and more nervous Looking at me, there are a lot of strange guards around me for no reason, are these not orders from the Hou Mansion?"

"Sure enough... I shouldn't have delusional thinking that I can hide it from you."

Liandong was stunned for a while, then finally smiled helplessly, and shook his head very lightly: "Okay, I will convey it for you...Are you serious?"

His tone was as relaxed and casual as possible, but he still couldn't hide the slight trembling in his arms, and there was a nervous fear that was almost suffocating in his eyes.But Mu Qiu just lowered his eyes, quietly rubbed the piece of jade pendant in his hand, smiled and said slowly: "It's true, I can hold on. Although life is hard, it's not time to die yet."

Liandong's hands trembled, and some water color suddenly appeared in his eyes, he choked with sobs and forced a smile: "Okay - well said. I will definitely convey it for you - to him..."

Mu Qiu looked at him quietly, there seemed to be a sigh in his eyes, but all his eyes were suppressed, he just slightly lowered his eyes and said slowly: "For someone like me...is it worth it?"

"It's worth it. It's worth doing anything."

Liandong couldn't bear it any longer, she clenched her fists and answered word for word, then pressed her lips hard, and then said with a wry smile: "That man—that's what he said, and he also asked me to tell you , you must live well. You are alive, all this is meaningful, if you are not here..."

Suddenly he couldn't continue, he just turned around hastily, looked out of the window and stood still for a long time, then sighed very softly: "If you are not here, why should all these exist."

Mu Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, a little unbearable flashed across his eyes, but he suppressed them all, leaving only a peaceful and gentle look: "I will find a way, don't worry."

Immediately afterwards, as if he wanted to confirm something, he repeated again in a slightly hoarse voice: "Don't worry..."

The two of them rarely fell silent like this.

Lonicera stood in front of the window, her figure solidified into a firm and stubborn rock by the setting sun.Mu Qiu looked at him quietly, the complex emotions in his eyes flashed away, he sighed very lightly, closed his eyes slowly, and the hand hanging by his side trembled very lightly.

Cough came up again, he took two sips of tea and suppressed it with all his strength, but there was still an uncomfortable smell of sweet blood in his throat.

In the majestic palace, a heavy bell suddenly sounded.

The sound of the bell made the hearts of both of them tremble suddenly, and they couldn't help but have some extremely ominous premonitions.Suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside the door, Liandong turned around abruptly, a hidden guard had already pushed the door in and knelt down: "My lord, please enter the palace—something happened in the palace."

What he said was cryptic, but Liandong's eyes shrank suddenly, as if his chest had been punched hard, and the ups and downs became unstoppable and rapid.

He didn't even dare to speculate on that possibility—but he had to face the fact.

For affairs in the palace, there was not much need to ring the long-ringing bell, and there were not many people to rush over to report to him that "something happened".

He had known that this day would come—this was clearly his father's wish, but now it just came true.

He shouldn't have felt sad, but he couldn't breathe no matter what.

"Go...go and have a look."

Mu Qiu suddenly spoke softly, and looked at him gently, with some understanding and peaceful concern in his eyes.

Looking up at the still calm and gentle eyes, Liandong's chaotic mood gradually calmed down, and she took a few short breaths before finally feeling as if she had broken free from the suffocation that was almost drowning.

Mu Qiu nodded slightly, his eyes intertwined, as if the two of them had silently understood each other's thoughts.Liandong didn't hesitate anymore, and hurriedly followed the hidden guard out of the house.

Holding his breath and watching the man walk away, Mu Qiucai suddenly coughed uncontrollably.

He didn't cough urgently, but it was extremely deep, as if he wanted to cough up his internal organs every time.Every time he coughed, blood fell down, but he seemed strangely as if he didn't feel the slightest.

There was an inexplicable pain in my heart, as if I had suddenly lost a close and dear elder. I knew that I shouldn't be too obsessed with it, but I still couldn't let it go.

The blood overflowed from the corner of his lips, as if taking away the strength in his body.Mu Qiu lay helplessly by the side of the couch, weakly letting Yin Hong spill out, but strangely no one came in to inquire.

Mu Qiu panted a few times, her pale hands almost convulsively grabbed the clothes on her chest, forcing herself to swallow the surging blood.Barely propped up, he looked at the uninvited guest standing at the door.

His expression didn't seem to be very surprised, he just looked at him quietly, his eyes were calm and calm: "Something happened in the palace... Doesn't the Third Highness need to enter the palace?"

Song Zixuan closed the door behind his back, walked over slowly with a strange expression, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "I heard them say that you don't remember anything, so it's just a trick?"

"I just don't remember those past events that make people nostalgic, but I still remember clearly the painful, angry, and inescapable ones. I dream every night, for fear that I may forget any details."

Mu Qiu smiled faintly, propped himself up calmly and fell on the soft pillow, raised his eyes and looked at him: "It's like——I obviously don't remember most of the people and things, but I still remember you...brother."

"Should I be honored?"

Song Zixuan let out a chuckle, then walked over quickly, raised his chin almost frivolously, looked at his blood-stained lips and sneered, "You are in such a mess now, how dare you talk to me like this - you are not afraid that I will take it for you!" Is it your life?"

"Since you came here, you didn't want to kill me."

Mu Qiu spoke calmly, not seeming to be annoyed by the other party's behavior, but lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Let's be honest, what I remember is actually very limited, and now I'm trapped in this sick bed Above all, is there anything else in me worthy of your attention?"

"Of course there are, and there are many."

Song Zixuan smiled coldly, staring at him like a wolf, "I want you to do me a favor, as long as you help me, you can live..."
