Holding on to the tree, I stood there for a while before I managed to stand upright and stumbled back. As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I heard a familiar voice calling me in front of me: "Light!"

I looked up and saw Liu Saner running towards me in a hurry.

He walked up to me and said anxiously: "Where have you been? I went home and there was no one there. I asked my neighbors and they all said they didn't see you, which scared me. Where have you been?"

"..."

"You, why do you look so ugly?" He said, stretched out his hand to touch my forehead, and was immediately startled: "You are sweating so much! What's wrong with you?"

"..."

"Light?!"

I stared at him blankly, looking at his anxious look, but for some reason, all the tension and suffocation I felt before relaxed at this moment.

I smiled palely at him: "I'm fine, it's just that I'm bored at home, so I'll go out for a walk."

"You said it was okay, but you look so ugly!"

He said, holding my arm with one hand, and wrapping the other around my back to hold me in his arms: "Come home with me quickly! How can you come out and walk around before your body has recovered?"

What should I do if I faint?"

I was held in his arms and walked back step by step. I felt the hot hands on my arms, as if they were on fire. Although they were a little hot, at this moment all the coldness in my heart was gone.

and fear were all dispelled. I slowly raised my head, looking at him as if he was breaking out in a cold sweat, and the deep wrinkles between his brows, everything made him look so nervous.

But I couldn't help but laugh.

When I got home, I saw that he had brought Li'er back with him, but this girl probably had enough food and drinks at the elder sister's place in the town, and fell asleep again as soon as she got home.

I sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the child's defenseless and innocent sleeping face, and I felt so full of tenderness that it almost overflowed.

But at this time, a ball of warm stuff stuck to my face. I was stunned for a moment, and when I turned around, it was Liu Saner who was helping me with a handkerchief soaked in warm water.

Wiping his face, he looked into my somewhat dazed eyes and sighed softly and said: "You are so old and you are the mother of your children. Why are you still so incapable of taking care of yourself?"

"..."

"What if I didn't come to find you today, or if you fainted on the roadside?"

"..."

"She's still a mother."

"..."

It sounded like he was lecturing a child, but with a somewhat resentful tone. I don't know why, but I just looked at him softly. The tenderness in my chest that was already full was surging like a tide at this moment.

It struck my frozen heart, and I couldn’t even utter a word of rebuttal.

At the end of wiping, he poked my forehead hard with the towel: "Don't do this again in the future!"

"..."

"Did you hear that?"

"...I heard it."

I admitted my mistake like a child, and he couldn't help but laugh, shook his head gently, picked up the basin, stood up and walked out.

Just when he walked to the door, I suddenly couldn't help but call him: "San'er——"

He stopped and looked back at me: "Huh?"

At that moment, there were too many words tumbling in my heart.

I am the emperor's woman, I was once the emperor's woman, and our daughter is actually the royal princess.

Liu San'er, let's go together.

Let’s leave this man’s control and go live somewhere else!

Or, we go to Shu, and once we get there, he can no longer restrain me like this!

……

All these words were surging in my heart, but just when I was about to say them, I suddenly looked through the wooden door he pushed open and saw a figure in the distance outside our yard.

Flashed by.

It was only for a moment, but I saw it clearly.

That's Pei Yuanhao's entourage.

Suddenly, a basin of cold water poured down on me, covering me from head to toe.

I almost forgot that although I wanted to escape from him, we are now completely under his control. Every move we make, even our words and deeds are under the control of his eyes and ears. If I want to escape,

Maybe he had caught me before I escaped.

When I thought of this, I swallowed all the words.

Liu Saner stood there and was still talking to me, but saw my face suddenly darkened again, and said with some confusion: "Qingqing? What's wrong? What do you want to say?"

"..."

I glanced at him anxiously and nodded gently: "No, it's nothing."

He smiled and shook his head and said: "If you are tired, go and rest for a while. I will call you when Li'er wakes up."

"...Hmm."

"Go and have a rest."

I sat on the edge of the bed and watched blankly as he walked out and closed the door.

The sunshine seemed to be suddenly cut off from my world.

|

In the next few days, almost every day, Pei Yuanhao would send someone to pick me up at home.

Those people came at exactly the right time. Every time Liu Saner went to town to get medicine for me, they came. Of course I knew because they were always monitoring every move of Liu Saner and me.

As long as I move, I will be picked up at the best time every day and send me back at the most appropriate time.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

It’s just that I don’t understand, what on earth is he going to do?

If he hates me for pretending to be dead and hates me for marrying someone else, he will be furious and even execute Liu San'er and me. This is what he can do as the Nine-Five Supreme Being; snatch away Li'er, or kidnap Li'er away.

It's easy for me too.

But he didn't.

He didn't even show any signs of a showdown with Liu San'er. He just took me to his manor every day, where I would eat, drink, taste tea, and even listen to an opera troupe he invited to sing an excerpt.

But they never showed any intention to deal with us.

But the more this happens, the more scared I am, because I clearly remember how he crushed my hopes step by step when I was full of hope and wanted to leave the palace.

Thinking of this, my hand trembled. The cup was already warm, and some of the hot medicinal wine immediately spilled out and onto the back of my hand.

"Ah!"

I let out a low cry and hurriedly threw away the cup. The back of my hand was already burning with pain.

When he saw it sitting across the table, he immediately got up and came over, took my hand, saw a large red patch on it, immediately frowned and shouted: "Here comes someone!"

I subconsciously said: "No, I'm fine."

"No!"

He looked sternly, looked at my hands, his brows knitted into a knot, turned around and said, "Hurry up!"

The surrounding attendants had already seen it and came over immediately, hurriedly bringing cold water, wound ointment, and gauze. Pei Yuanhao grabbed my hand and put it into a copper basin filled with cold water. The water was ice cold.

In such a cold weather, the cold immediately made me shiver, but it made the burning pain on the back of my hand feel better.

And his hand, still holding mine tightly, was also soaked in the cold water.

The skin where he touched it was not burned by the hot wine, but it also became burning.

Today, he took me to his manor again. He said that someone had sent me a good medicinal wine. When I heated it and drank it, it could drive away the cold and relieve my cold in winter. Originally, I only wanted to drink it.

I planned to drink a few drinks to satisfy him, so that I could go home earlier, even if I vomited it out just like every time when I got home, but who would have thought——

The place he touched became hotter and hotter, and I became more and more uneasy, so I struggled subconsciously.

He immediately said: "Don't move!"

"..."

After a while, his hand turned white from the cold water, and then he picked up my hand. It was dripping with water, and the fingertips were already cold. He took the towel offered by the servant next to him and wiped it carefully with me.

Get the water off your hands.

Then apply medicine and bandage.

After doing all this, he raised his head and looked at me: "Does it still hurt?"

"..."
