C14 Lovers of childhood
With the support of the green cloud, Bei Yunyi finished her shower and changed into a set of clean clothes before walking out.
Qin Lianshuang, who was tall and slender, walked up to her and held her waist with one hand. She said gently, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you!"
Bei Yunyi subconsciously went to push Qin Lianshuang. Her delicate, boneless body also trembled slightly. Even after hearing Qin Lianshuang's words, her cold, dexterous eyes were still filled with fear.
Qin Lianshuang carried Bei Yunyi onto the bed and took the ginger tea from the stream to Bei Yunyi's mouth. She parted her rosy lips and said gently: "You're weak to begin with, drink this ginger soup quickly so you won't catch the cold."
Bei Yunyi's slender and thick eyelashes trembled a few times, and a shadow appeared on her eyelids. It was hard to see the expression in her eyes.
"Drink this ginger soup and This King will leave!" Qin Lianshuang seemed to have seen through Bei Yunyi's thoughts. She could not help but speak in a low voice.
Bei Yunyi's eyelashes trembled once more. Then, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Qin Lianshuang.
His long and narrow almond-shaped eyes were filled with gentleness. It was as if he had entered the peach forest in March, causing people to be unable to help but sink into his emotions.
However, her timid gaze landed on Qin Lianshuang, who wore a silver mask.
He had suffered an accident when he was five years old, and many imperial physicians were helpless at that time. Ever since, they had been wearing half a mask to show off their skills.
After so many years, no one knew what kind of face he had under his mask!
Bei Yunyi reached out her slender, jade-like hands to take the bowl of ginger soup from Qin Lianshuang's hands. However, Qin Lianshuang said: "Be careful not to heat it up. I'll feed it to you."
Saying so, she lowered her head and blew a few breaths of air into Bei Yunyi's mouth.
Bei Yunyi used his dual daggers once again, and looked at Qin Lianshuang with his clean and spotless eyes. It was hard to tell if his eyes were filled with fear or fear.
Qin Lianshuang only pursed her lips and smiled warmly at Bei Yunyi. She seemed to want to completely melt the fear in Bei Yunyi's eyes.
As for Bei Yunyi, she lowered her eyes as if she was evading, and an ice-cold light quickly flashed in the depths of her eyes.
Qin Lianshuang, it's useless. I have long developed immunity to your kindness and gentleness!
In the end, Bei Yunyi's body was still weak. In addition, she was already afraid of the water, and her wet body had been exposed to the cold wind for a long time. At night, she developed a high fever.
Qin Lianshuang sent for the imperial physician overnight.
Bei Yunyi's pure and delicate face was burning red, and her expression was filled with pain. Her cheeks had long since been drenched by tears, and under the orange candlelight, she looked miserable and helpless.
The two slender jade-like hands by her side were tightly clenched, unaware of the pain from the sharp nails digging into her skin.
At this moment, she was like the first delicate flower that had risen from the ground in early spring, allowing the raging storm to ravage her.
It actually caused people to feel some heartache and pity, wanting to take good care of her!
Qin Lianshuang stood by the bed with her back against his shoulder. From beginning to end, her eyes had been gloomy.
It seemed that the day she fell into the hunting grounds had truly given her a great shock and excitement. Perhaps now that she was unconscious, all she could think about was that night.
Qin Lianshuang couldn't help but hold onto Bei Yunyi's tightly clenched hand. Her hand was frighteningly hot, as if it could scald a big hole into his hand.
"Dad, dad …" Bei Yunyi, who had been tightly biting her lips, let out a weak and extremely sorrowful voice. At this moment, the tears in the corner of her eyes began to drip.
That made everyone's heart clench.
"Yun Yi, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Xiao Lianshuang softly hugged Bei Yun Yi in his arms as he consoled her with his words.
The unconscious Bei Yunyi seemed to have grasped onto a straw as her tightly clenched hand gripped Qin Lianshuang's big hand tightly. She spoke with a voice full of helplessness: "Father, Father, I'm really scared …"
The stream that had been waiting at the side couldn't help but raise its head to look at the unconscious Bei Yunyi, and slightly creased its tender eyebrows.
"Yun Yi, you don't have to be afraid. I won't hurt you anymore." Qin Lianshuang consoled her with a soft voice. It was as if she had seen her own self on Bei Yunyi's body all those years ago.
For countless days and nights, he had been waking up from a nightmare, hugging his body in a helpless and lonely embrace. He kept calling for his mufei, but his mufei would never come back.
"Don't, don't …" Bei Yunyi's breathing suddenly became hurried, and her originally blushing face also turned deathly white. It was as if something terrible had happened to her. Qin Lianshuang's hand was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and even her voice trembled.
Qin Lianshuang's long and narrow almond-shaped eyes were dark. Then, a layer of blood-red slowly spread out. He then turned around and shouted to the silent servant behind him, "Why haven't you sent this medicine over yet?"
"Your highness, you have to simmer this medicine slowly, or it will lose its potency!" "Prince, you still have to go to the morning assembly tomorrow, so you should go back and rest. This servant and the green cloud will be fine!"
Qin Lianshuang looked at the weak and helpless Bei Yunyi on the bed for a long time before she finally said: "No need!"
"Your highness, the court is still early. When Madam wakes up, your servant will say that Your highness was there for the night and had just gone to rest!"
He had been by Qin Lianshuang's side for so many years. Naturally, he understood her thoughts.
Qin Lianshuang frowned slightly as she glanced at Bei Yunyi on the bed with a knowing look. There was no need for him to delay the political affairs of the court for a woman. She said in a cold voice: "Take good care of Madam. If anything happens to her, I will throw all of you into the wolf trap and feed you to the wolf!"
These cold and vicious voices fell into the ears of the people kneeling on the ground, causing them to shiver, as if winter was approaching.
After that, Qin Lianshuang flicked her sleeves and left.
The flickering candlelight cast a thin layer of light on the little stream's face. A barely noticeable ray of light flashed across the depths of his black eyes.
Bei Yunyi's lips were burning red, but she still opened and closed as if she was speaking. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, making it hard for people to hear what she was saying.
The small stream moved forward and moved closer to Bei Yunyi's ear. The words' weak but bleeding 'could clearly be heard by the small stream.
"My child …"
Crown Prince's Palace
A gentle breeze blew into the room from a small window, gently blowing the white curtain away, leaving a few soft lines in the air. A tall and straight, picturesque figure walked to the open window and closed it.
The wind stopped, and the soft and elegant white curtain also fell down.
The person lying on the three screens bed filled with crabapple blossoms slightly opened his eyes. A faint smile formed on his face that was like a lotus after the rain. Facing the person who walked into the bed, he only said, "Why are you here again?"
Li Jun stood in front of the bed, her hands which were originally by her sides tightly clenched in a split-second. Her black eyes, which had always been downcast, were as black as obsidian, dazzling and extraordinary.
Her eyes were still as clear and cold as before her marriage, but they had long since lost their liveliness and vitality.
Every time he came, the light in her eyes dimmed, and before long, it would completely disappear from her clear and gentle eyes.
"You can go!" Before he could say anything, Chu Xinyan's soft and weak voice came out of his mouth.
"I won't leave!" Li Jun's figure was like a handsome green bamboo, straight and full of tenacity. Her low voice was especially firm, as if nothing in the world could shake him.
Chu Xinyan closed her eyes and shook her head. She struggled to get up from the bed.
Li Mi immediately reached out to support her, but just as she touched Chu Xinyan's soft, creamy hand, Chu Xinyan gently pulled it out. Her eyelashes flapped gently in front of her eyes like the wings of a butterfly, and her pale red lips parted, saying in a deep voice: "I am no longer your childhood sweetheart, I am now the Crown Princess of the Eastern Kingdom!"
His voice was very soft, but it was as if a sharp blade was viciously stabbing at Qian Duo's chest. This wasn't the first time he heard her say that, but his heart was still bleeding.
"Smoke …" Li Jun murmured these two words. It was so soft and tender, but it was so bitter and helpless.
They had been born on the same day of the same month, and they had grown up together.
But when she was born, she was deemed a "flower fairy" by the imperial supervision. Although she was smart and gentle, she was born with a peerless beauty, causing all the men in the State of South Zhao to fall in love with her.
However, the "flower fairy" could not be married off, as soon as it was married off, it would die prematurely!
For her, he ignored the persuasion of his royal father and his mother and never married.
As long as he could be with her, he would rather give up his supreme position and power. He would look at her like this for the rest of his life and be satisfied if he let her stay by his side!
However, all of this ended on the day that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Kingdom chose his wife.
For many years, they had been helping each other. There had never been any war between the two countries, and if one country had been attacked, the other country would definitely send out troops to assist them.
For the past hundred years, it had been a tradition for the kings of both countries to be chosen from their brothers!
That day, the crown prince of the Eastern Kingdom, Qin Lianxuan, had chosen his beloved woman with just a single glance.
This tradition had existed for over a hundred years, and no one could interfere with it.
The royal father ordered for him to be locked up in a small dark room and be strictly guarded. By the time his bloodied body rushed out, his heart had already been taken away by the Eastern Kingdom's crown prince!
