Originally, after hurting him like that, I no longer hoped to be able to reconcile with him in this life; and when I met in a different hall outside the city, he told me that the fire in his heart had been extinguished and would be forgotten with my past. Therefore, no matter how unwilling I was in my heart, I could not take my relationship with him further, or go back to the beginning, being able to smile at him like Jixian Hall, work closely in the tribute courtyard, talk in the snow, and get along like an ordinary friend, is already a great joy and redemption for me.

But now—

It was him who took this step!

According to his personality, he will not show kindness to a woman for no reason, nor will he act beyond the rules. Does he be willing to take this step mean that he and I still have a chance?

This opportunity is not to be given to us by others, nor is it a gift or permission from anyone, but he is willing to open his heart to me, and it is possible to return to the past with me?

The fire in his heart may have been extinguished, but there is still a little charcoal red, continuing something.

When I think of this, I feel that my whole body is burning, and I can almost hear my heartbeat in my ears.

"but--"

Just as my cheeks were so excited that my cheeks were flushed red, Shui Xiu hesitated and said, I looked at her: "What?"

Shui Xiu glanced at it, hesitated for a moment before saying, "But Mr. Liu told the Empress not to tell you that he had been here to visit you."

"…what?" I suddenly froze.

Shui Xiu said, "He said, I don't want you to know, and the Empress can only agree to him, and then he left."

“…”

"I happened to pass by the door, and I heard about it."

“…”

"But I don't know what's going on and whether it will affect you, sir, so I told you. sir, don't tell others, I told you, sir, so I won't be punished again."

“…”

"Girl, do you say Lord Liu is fine?"

“…”

My originally hot chest slowly became cold. I sat at the head of the bed and lost my reaction for a while.

He didn't want me to know... Actually, I was not surprised. He was not a person who was very emotional. Even when he was in the fishing village, he just knew how to do it and didn't know how to say it. Besides, in this situation between him and me, it was indeed not suitable for others to know.

I just suddenly thought, why did Chang Qing tell me just now that the emperor wanted to bring me into the harem again?

Is there anything wrong with these two?

Is this matter Pei Yuanhao instructed Chang Qing to ask, or is it Chang Qing asking me for other reasons?

If it is the latter, then—what is the reason?

My heart was completely confused at this moment. After ecstatic because of Qinghan's performance, more uneasy factors emerged. Even if I don't think about it, I know that there is a biggest obstacle in my life, not just for my relationship with Qinghan.

What exactly is he going to do?!

.

Once I had something to do, I couldn't calm down anymore. I almost wanted to get up and go to Jixian Palace to find him immediately, but Shui Xiu and Madam Wu tried to persuade me to get better after being injured. Moreover, the emperor also told me to rest for a few days without having to go to Jixian Palace to do things.

In this way, I can only stay in the palace.

In the next few days, I felt like I suddenly entered a confined space. No news came in, nor did I know what was born outside. I couldn't see Qinghan, and Chang Qing just sent someone to ask about my injuries every day, and even the emperor, even him, did not come again.

Although I didn't want to see him, I just knew his temperament. After experiencing the Yaowu Tower incident and after he said those words to me, he should continue to press forward step by step, but now he suddenly seems to have completely forgotten about this. This is not his usual style.

Such anomaly made me feel a sense of a storm that was about to come and wind filled the building.

It seems that something big is going to happen.

On that day, Madam Wu and Shui Xiu went out to do their own business. I stayed in the house alone. The imperial physician also repeatedly told me that I was injured by iron nails. If I didn’t take a good rest, I was afraid that my hand would be ruined in the future. So I have to rely on them for eating and washing my face these days. When they left, I stayed alone in the house and had nothing to do, which made me even more bored.

When I was free, I held my hand that was not conscious and carefully wanted to pick up a pen on the table, but my fingertips still didn't have much strength. I just wanted to hold the pen holder and I was sweating profusely.

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded outside.

When I heard this, I was shocked, afraid that Shui Xiu would see me like this and would nag again. She hurriedly reached out to wipe her sweat, and went to open the door with nothing to do.

But as soon as I opened the door and saw the person in front of me, I was stunned.

Standing outside the door, it turned out to be Mingzhu!

The personal palace maid around Shen Rou!

As soon as I saw her, I was stunned, and she seemed a little nervous. Her pretty face was pale and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. When I stood at the door, I looked back carefully, as if I had seen her.

"you--"

"Master Yue," she immediately made a not-so-looking smile when she saw me: "Are you okay?"

“…”

I frowned slightly - Mingzhu, she is the closest palace maid around Shen Rou. She was brought into the palace from the Shen family. She was the most trusted person of the imperial concubine. Why did she suddenly come to me? Although she has not been here before, she always has a big fanfare and arrogant attitude. There are also little girls from Jingren Palace who come to report the news. This time, it seems that she is looking for me privately.

And looking at her appearance, she seemed to be so scared. What are she afraid of?

I also smiled calmly: "Sister Mingzhu, it's expensive and cheap. I wonder what advice is there?"

Seeing me standing at the door, she seemed to not intend to let her in, and her face became even more embarrassing. After thinking about it, she forced her to smile at me and said, "Mr. Yue, I want to say something to Mr. Yue alone, so I can't let others hear it. Can we go in and speak?"

“…”
