The room was so quiet that even the sound of tears falling on his knees could be heard clearly.
Le Zhi raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and then turned sideways to light the red candle on the table. She took a few deep breaths and said in a very calm tone, "Your Highness should not have come."
Huo Du didn't speak, not even the expression on his face changed. However, the hand holding the white jade crutch suddenly tightened, and then he slowly walked to the table and picked up one of the many papers...
"Shen Xiang still has to move this move, which is very beneficial to His Highness." Le Zhi saw which one he was holding, and then spoke softly about his plan, "And if you want to win over Shen Xiang, you must ask Shen Qingyan Let's start, Your Highness can go first...you!"
The complete piece of paper was torn to shreds in Huo Du's hands and fell to the ground, unable to see what was written on it. Le Zhi opened his eyes wide, sullen in his heart, and all the words he wanted to say were blocked for a while.
"Why didn't you say it?" Huo Du sat down and faced her face to face, his lacquer eyes always fixed on her. After waiting for a while, seeing that she was silent, he moved his gaze to the rest of the paper on the table and swept it lightly...
Huh, what is this? A suicide note
And just now, she seemed to have a tone of voice that seemed to explain the future.
Huo Du's eyes turned cold a little bit, and it was not until it condensed into ice that he continued to set his eyes on Le Zhi's cheeks.
"You are thoughtful." He hooked his lips, but there was no smile on his face, and his tone was full of sarcasm, "Unfortunately..."
Le Zhi stared at him blankly, puzzled.
"Tsk." Huo Du sneered softly, reached out and pressed her chapped lips with his fingertips, then lightly clasped the table with his long fingers, and continued to speak coldly: "Let me tell you, if you die, not only will I not I will cooperate with Shen Huai, and I will also help Huo Xu to ascend to the throne. As for your sister, I will not care. And your people will naturally be sent back to the slave farm... "
There was no warmth in his voice, and there was a hint of intimidation in his voice.
It was as if they were back to the way they were when they first met.
Cold and cruel.
But the panic and timidity in his eyes could not be hidden for a long time.
The tip of Lezhi's nose turned red, and the tears that accumulated in his eyes slid down his pale cheeks. She clearly wasn't afraid, but his panic drew out the fear in her heart.
"Why are you like this..." She finally couldn't help it, she clenched her fist and hit him on the shoulder, but she was already out of strength, and she stopped after only two hits, "First he killed me, now he Scare me. You're on purpose, and you're trying not to make me feel at ease..."
Huo Du looked at her, his eyes darkening.
Le Zhi was right, he was intentional. He couldn't reassure her, absolutely not. Once she was reassured, she would no longer have the will to survive.
He knew what was most important to her. It was the family, the responsibility, the people for whom she wrote her last words.
Without him, no
He knew too well that even if she had such a little affection for him, it was nothing but insignificant to her.
He couldn't keep her.
Huo Du lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of her fingertips trembling slightly, as if they were touching his heart. He took her hand, looked at the swollen finger, and held it with his mouth.
The itchy fingers were wrapped by the warm and soft tongue, causing Lezhi to break out in a cold sweat.
She was so frightened that she hurried to push him, but she didn't dare to pull her fingers out. She was afraid, afraid that the wound that had just healed was broken again. Will it be contagious to him
Why is he still mad at this time!
When Lezhi recovered, he was already held in Huo Du's arms. In response, she put her hand on his shoulder with red eyes and resisted, "What are you doing? Are you reluctant to bear me, or are you deliberately trying to get angry with me... "
If Huo Du was infected by her, it would really be over.
Her heart was trembling, and she was about to die of fright.
"Le Zhi, you are a liar."
Huo Du's voice came from his ears, Le Zhi clutched at the front of his shirt, and choked up and asked, "What did I lie to you again?"
"You said that we have a fate." Huo Du's voice was a little soft, his tone a little dull, "Do you want to leave now?"
- How can something so cheap
Hearing this, Le Zhi suddenly froze. As her thoughts drifted away, she remembered—
"I believe in what fate said. My Highness and I have been separated by thousands of miles and now we are husband and wife, isn't it because of fate?"
This was what she said that day when she was frank with him.
... It was indeed her nonsense at that time.
But hearing him say it at this moment made her heart sour. She was finally able to determine the reason for his madness. She rested her chin on his shoulder and asked softly, "Are you afraid?"
The hand on her waist visibly stiffened.
Is there anything she doesn't understand
"I'm not giving up, I'm just... just afraid of the pain." She endured crying, her voice getting hoarse, "I've read books, this disease is very torturous, I'm afraid... .”
"Let's make a bet." Huo Du interrupted her.
Feeling that the embrace was loosening, Le Zhi stepped back a little, opening the distance between the two. She followed his line of sight to the snow bone lotus on the table, and then listened to him: "Only ten days. Within ten days, I will definitely cure you."
The time for the snow bone lotus to be used as medicine is also within ten days.
Le Zhi looked sideways, fixed his profile, and his eyes moved slightly. She suddenly felt that Huo Du was right, she was a liar.
She asked him if he was reluctant, she asked if he was afraid. It was just to hide his panic.
Because she really misses him.
"Okay." She answered him.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Li Yao brought the boiled soup.
"From today onwards, Gu and the Crown Princess will not see outsiders, but will bring meals and soup to the bedroom."
Li Yao was stunned for a moment, then bowed in response, and then exited cautiously. She keenly sensed that the atmosphere in the room was unusual, and Jing Xin told her about the afternoon, and Dr. Jiang's strange reaction... She knew that the master's illness would not be as simple as a cold.
His heart was tightened, he closed the door of the house, and Li Yao bit his lip and walked towards his house.
After Lezhi drank the soup, he went into the bathroom to wash up.
After seeing her go in, Huo Du opened the door and called An Xuan, who was not far away, and handed him the letter in his sleeve, "Let the dark guard send it to Ning Country."
An Xuan replied in a deep voice, and then said, "Your Highness, Cangyan Mountain has..."
When Le Zhi walked out of the bathroom, he saw that Huo Du and the people outside the door were talking, and the voice should be An Xuan. It seems to be saying what is burning or not
Xu Shi heard her footsteps, Huo Du quickly said a few words and closed the door.
"What's the matter? Where did the water go?"
"No." Huo Du walked over and touched her uncooked crow's hair, "Go and dry it."
Le Zhi snorted softly, and then walked towards the bed.
Huo Du walked sideways to the bathroom, remembering Le Zhi's problem just now, his eyes turned cold -
She did hear it right.
He asked An Xuan to burn Cangyan Mountain.
No matter what hurts her, she can't stay.
When he came out after changing his bedclothes, he saw the collapsed man holding a cotton towel and looking at him aggrievedly, "I'm running out of strength... ."
Huo Du smiled, sat down on the slump, supported her shoulders and made her rest her head on her shoulders. He took the cotton towel from her hand and slowly brushed it through her hair. In winter, wet hair dries very slowly. He raised his hand and concentrated his inner strength to help her dry the wet hair.
Slowly, his hand touched her forehead, touching a piece of ice cold. He lowered his eyes and saw her frowning.
- She is holding back.
The scorching heat turns to cold, and it alternates repeatedly, which is the pain that must be experienced by people suffering from malaria.
Feeling that the hand on the hair stopped, Le Zhi stood up a little confusedly. Looking into his eyes, I remembered his gentle actions just now, and his cold and ruthless appearance when we first met...
There were so many different types of him circling in her mind, making her forget the unbearable pain in her body for a while, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled, and even her eyebrows and eyes became crooked.
Huo Du hugged her and lay down on the slump, wrapping her ice-like body with a quilt.
"What are you laughing at?" Huo Du asked with a frown.
It looks like this, but you can still laugh, is it stupid
"I'm thinking about what Your Highness looked like before." Le Zhi said weakly, "I can't seem to remember."
Huo Du didn't answer, just poked her in the head, then hooked a strand of her hair, wrapping it around her fingers.
"Let's play a game, shall we?"
With a long finger, Huo Du looked at Le Zhi's face doubtfully, and felt that she spoke a lot more tonight than usual.
"Play what?" he asked.
"Speak the truth." There was a brilliant smile in the fox's eyes, and Le Zhi said the rules of the game in a soft tone, "Just say what you want to say in reverse."
"Then I'll come first." She blinked and said, "His Royal Highness is really ugly."
"Well, you're so stupid."
Le Zhi giggled, but after a while, she stopped laughing and said, "Actually, I'm not afraid at all."
Huo Du's lacquer eyes deepened, and he replied, "I won't be with you all the time."
…
I don't know how long it took, until the two of them were tired, and the bedroom gradually became quiet, only the candle heart made some crackling sounds.
Sweat oozes from Le Zhi's forehead, but her body is shivering with cold. She quietly listened to the long breathing of the person beside her, not sure if he really fell asleep.
But her throat was so clogged, it seemed... as if she was about to lose her voice.
She doesn't know if she can really make it through, if she really can't make it through...
Her heart gradually sank, and she didn't know where the strength came from, she slowly approached Huo Du's ear, gently pressed her cherry lips to the tip of his ear, and said with the last bit of strength, "Meeting you makes me very unhappy... I don't miss you, I don't like you at all."
After speaking, her throat seemed to be really blocked with cotton, and she couldn't make a sound.
Before falling into the darkness, she clearly felt herself relieved.
The original feeling came out, is so good.
But the person who was lying beside her with his eyes closed, his eyelashes trembled because of her words.
