"Lily, go and cut all the strings of those kites!"
Since there is no use keeping them and you are already imprisoned, let these kites be free!

April 26th, violent storm, lightning and thunder
But Mo Shuang can no longer feel these, because her consciousness has begun to become chaotic, sometimes falling asleep, sometimes waking up, and even when she is awake, she is hazy and weak in consciousness.
She no longer said a word. No matter she was unconscious or awake, she lay there so quietly, like a broken leaf that could be blown away by the wind at any time, with almost no sense of existence.
With red eyes, Lily put the soup in the porcelain spoon into her mouth, but every time she took a spoonful, half of it would flow out from the corner of her lips.
So, I fed her, wiped her, and fed her. The soup was cold, but I didn't even get half a bowl of it.
Lily finally threw the bowl to the ground angrily, lay down on the quilt and cried loudly, but even with such movement, the woman on the bed still closed her eyes slightly and showed no reaction.
After crying for an unknown amount of time, Lily finally raised her head from the quilt, suddenly thought of something, got up, and ran out like crazy.

Yumoxuan
Leng Qisu held white in one hand and black in the other, playing chess with himself.
"Ye Feng, where do you think my king should put this white seed?" The slender fingers of his right hand twisted a white seed and rubbed it. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the guard standing next to Commander Ye Feng.
Ye Feng looked troubled. He came in to report that Lily, the maid from Youmei Garden, was kneeling in front of Yumoxuan's door. She couldn't persuade her to leave. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. She was afraid that something would happen if she was soaked like this.
Unexpectedly, this man seemed not to have heard and instead asked him about chess.
From being a guard to being the commander of the guards, from being responsible for the security of the palace to going to the battlefield with Leng Qisu, he has been following this man for many years, but for some reason, he feels that he still doesn't understand him.
"My lord, my subordinate is a rough man and doesn't know how to play chess, but... looking at the chessboard like this, there are so many black stones, all surrounding the white ones. I'm afraid that if the white stone lands anywhere, it will be a failure."
"Yes, defeated chess!" Leng Qisu nodded, his expression dimmed, and his eyes suddenly narrowed, "What if it falls here?" He pointed to the center of a group of sunspots on the chessboard.
"Isn't that throwing yourself into a trap and putting your flesh on the chopping block?" Ye Feng was stunned. He was surrounded by black stones and sent white stones in. Even if he didn't understand chess skills, he knew that he would die.
"No! Sometimes taking the initiative and throwing yourself into a trap can have unexpected effects!" A touching smile bloomed on his thin lips, and he dropped the white piece in his hand heavily.
Night Breeze was still stunned to respond to his words, but he suddenly stood up, held up the butter umbrella by the door, and walked straight into the rain.
"Your Majesty, it's raining so hard, where are you going?" Under the eaves, Linglong looked worried.
"Enter the palace!"
