"Everyone, get down!"
Then I heard the sound of scattered and messy footsteps walking out, and it was the sound of Lu Ping taking away the maid.
With a "squeak", the door was gently closed.
Zizhuo hid behind the screen, not daring to let out her breath. She originally just wanted to tease the two of them, but she didn't expect them to be so cautious. She felt annoyed for a moment and didn't know if she should continue to hide.
After pondering for a moment, she decided that it would be better to go out. However, just as she was about to pick up her feet and walk out, she heard the rustling of her clothes. She slightly probed her head and was shocked to find that Chu Xunmo was actually there. Take off your brocade robe.
ah,
Her breathing stagnated and she quickly retracted her head.
No way
They, both of them... .
Her face was red, and she was even more embarrassed and didn't know what to do
If they go out, the three of them will be in a lot of embarrassment, but if they don't go out, wouldn't they be here to spy on what others are doing
Now we can’t get out, and we can’t get out even if we don’t.
If you do it yourself, you will definitely not survive!
Just when I was feeling annoyed, I heard Lu Ping's voice.
"It's not like your Majesty doesn't know your body. You have to use needles at noon every day, and you still play outside the palace until dark before coming back. Your Majesty loves Zizhuo and is used to Zizhuo. These Green Pings know that, but they also have to have It’s not a matter of propriety.”
Use a needle? Zizhuo? Proportionate
Zizhuo, who was hiding behind the screen, was startled and didn't understand what Lu Ping meant by this.
But I was even more curious in my heart. I quickly held my breath, kept my ears open and continued to listen carefully. At the same time, I looked along the gap between the two screens.
Luping frowned, her face full of displeasure and helplessness.
Chu Xunmo looked back at her and smiled lowly, "I didn't come back safe and sound."
While he was talking, he had taken off his outer robe and was sitting cross-legged on a low couch. His upper body was naked, revealing his strong and well-structured chest.
"It's safe and sound! If you are still well, you will be brought back." Luping shook her head and opened a cloth bag. There were rows of long and thin silver needles on the bag. The dim light of the palace lanterns shone on it, giving it a cold and dazzling look. of cold light.
She took out one with her slender hands and inserted it gently and slowly on Chu Xunmo's back. She sighed deeply, "Lu Ping really doesn't understand that when you love someone, doesn't you first have to live well? Your Majesty once wanted to Zizhuo gave up the Dragon Ball that she relied on to save her life, and now she doesn't cherish herself so much. If there is something wrong with her, what else will your Majesty use to love her?"
Chu Xunmo remained motionless, his eyes slightly closed. Although he was wearing a mask, he could still see through the hole the slightly raised eyebrows when he heard these words. He finally pursed his lips without saying a word. .
Seeing him like this, Lu Ping stopped talking, bit her lip, and carefully inserted the silver needles into the acupuncture points on his back one by one, her expression gloomy.
Both of them stopped talking, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Zizhuo pressed against the screen tightly, her eyes open and motionless, her face full of shock.
All the conversation between the two fell into her ears, and she roughly understood four points.
Chu Xunmo was seriously ill.
She and he knew each other a long time ago.
He loved her very much.
He also gave up a life-saving bead for her.
But why
Why can't she remember anything
She closed her eyes and thought desperately, but she still felt nothing except a splitting headache.
In the midst of chaos, on the other side, Chu Xunmo suddenly spoke.
"Lu Ping, do you know? I had an illness outside the palace today, and it was not yet noon."
His tone was very light, without any ups and downs, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs.
But when Lu Ping heard this, her expression changed, her eyes full of horror and disbelief.
Have you started to get sick
how come? How could it be so fast
She held the silver needle in her hand tightly, but her wrist was still shaking, and she couldn't prick the acupuncture point for a long time.
But Chu Xunmo was still talking alone.
"I'm not afraid of death, I've never been afraid! But, Luping, do you know? Today, for the first time, I felt fear, the deep fear of death. That night, the moment I jumped off the cliff with Zizhuo , I just think about me living when she lives, and I will follow her when she dies, but now that she is alive, I can no longer accompany her."
"Your Majesty..."
Lu Ping bit her lip and endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't help crying.
Zizhuo, who was behind the screen, bit the back of his hand tightly to prevent the sobs in his throat from escaping.
what did he say
He said, when she lives, he lives; when she dies, he follows.
He said that while she was alive, he could no longer accompany her.
What's the meaning
What do you mean he can't accompany you anymore
How could he not accompany me
How could he leave her
Is his illness serious? Is it serious enough to cause death
The thing happened so suddenly that she felt like she was in a dream. She couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it.
Her heart was wilder than ever before, and she almost rushed out to ask him.
Chu Xunmo's deep voice suddenly came over again: "Lu Ping, how much time do I have?"
"Your Majesty..."
"It's okay!" Chu Xunmo slowly opened his eyes, a flash of extreme desolation flashed through his eyes, and soon, he smiled slowly, "Tell the truth, I still have a lot of things to arrange. "
"Arrangement?" Lu Ping smiled bitterly behind her, "Can you arrange it for Zizhuo?"
Chu Xunmo was stunned and said nothing.
But it's not that woman. After losing her memory, she is as simple as a blank sheet of paper, simple-minded, innocent and kind. What should she do
Looking at his appearance, Lu Ping felt heartbroken and angry. After a long silence, she said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Didn't Lu Ping's master say that the twenty-four-year-old is your calamity? Now, Your Majesty is only twenty-two years old, so nothing will happen to you."
"I used to think so," he raised the corners of his lips lightly, his voice revealing a hint of helplessness and vicissitudes of life that could not be concealed, "but things in this world can never be what one wishes..."
He knows his body well.
*********************
next day
imperial study room
Chu Xunmo was reviewing the memorial attentively.
The door was gently pushed open from the outside.
When he heard the sound, Chu Xunmo did not raise his head, but slightly curved the corners of his lips. He knew who it was without looking.
Zizhuo tiptoed in. He thought she would scare him as a prank, but unexpectedly, she just sat in front of him and looked at him seriously.
He felt a little uncomfortable when she was like this. He looked up from the memorial with a smile, "Do you want to go out to play again?"
But as soon as he saw her face, his expression changed, "Didn't you sleep well last night? There are such heavy dark circles under her eyes."
Zizhuo's heart ached as she looked into his eyes quietly.
His black pupils were sparkling, shining like stars.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears last night, she would never have believed that the man in front of her, who was as beautiful as an immortal, was so seriously ill.
She arched her eyebrows and said, "No, maybe I'm too tired from playing during the day, so I won't go out today."
As she spoke, she picked up the dragon head jade seal on the table and played with it in her hand.
Chu Xunmo didn't stop her. He just nodded with a smile and looked at the memorial in his hand. "Well, if you're too tired, you can go back and rest first. I'll come over to you after I finish reading these memorials!"
Zizhuo didn't speak or stand up. His slender fingers kept turning the jade seal in his hand.
"Is something wrong?"
Chu Xunmo felt something was wrong and raised his head to look at her again.
"What is this thing used for?"
She turned over the jade seal and looked at the intricately engraved words on it, as if she was trying to identify what words were flying and phoenixes flying on it.
Her answer was not what she asked, which made Chu Xunmo startled, but he quickly raised the corners of his lips and pointed to her hand, "This is the jade seal."
What should I say
After thinking for a while, he said succinctly: "It is my jade seal. It can represent me and is a very important thing."
His jade seal? Can you represent him
"Oh" Zizhuo nodded as if he understood, and quickly put the jade seal back to its original place. Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and raised his head and looked at him seriously, "Brother Chu, you said yesterday that you wanted me to be your only one." After, is it true?”
