In the blink of an eye, the snow fell more than a foot thick, and the cold wind cut the face. Qing'er had been kneeling in the snow for a long time, and as for how long, the numb legs that had long been unconscious were a strong proof of this.

The sky gradually darkened, if it weren't for the white expanse everywhere, the snow was dazzling, it is estimated that the sky would have darkened a long time ago.

Qing'er knelt in the snow, trembling all over, her pale lips spitting a weak breath.

I don't know how long it has been, and how long it will take to kneel.

In the East Palace, the prince sat on the couch, in a worried mood.

Suddenly, a pot of tea fell to the ground.

Father-in-law Su Shi trembled.

The prince said angrily, "You went out just now, did she say anything?" If she has a trace of remorse, even the slightest bit, I will forgive her, whether she has the intention of begging me. ”

Father-in-law Su Shi shook a little, and said timidly, "Miss Qing'er has been kneeling there and hasn't said anything, but the slave saw that her face was pale and bloodless, and she was shivering with cold, and it is estimated that Miss Qing'er won't last long." ”

The prince's face was angry, please enter the leak, as if a furious anger was about to explode.

Su Shi Gonggong was on the side, not daring to move, for fear that if he was not careful, he would cause something wrong.

The prince stood up frantically, and several cups fell to the ground with a clatter.

The prince staggered a few steps, like an angry lion, but he was so helpless.

"Why? Why? Would she rather kneel in the snow, punished, frozen, than be my concubine, and I would just make her look down on her? Why? ”

The prince turned to look at Father-in-law Su Shi beside him, with a painful and helpless look, "Why are you suing me?" Why, exactly? Isn't it cold in the snow, is it a great shame for her to be my concubine? ”

Father-in-law Su Shi trembled and said, "Prince, according to the slave, this is all a nail in the coffin, it is already iron, why should the prince be in a hurry." Let's wait for this Long Live Lord to approve it, this Long Live Lord's will is a holy will, are you afraid that she will not obey it when the time comes? Besides, isn't Qing'er just a cheap maid, there are many slaves like her, but the prince is the prince today, don't you want which one you want? ”

Father-in-law Su Shi tested the prince's eyes, observed his words and looks, and judged the situation and thought that when the prince was angry, he would not only please the prince, but also let himself fall into a trap.

If you don't have the ability to be a minion, you can't do it.

The crown prince sighed, "I just want her to be my concubine willingly, she is so, and so is she." Am I still a prince? What prince can be as as I am? ”

Father-in-law Su Shi said: "Prince, on such a cold day, it is estimated that Miss Qing'er has long regretted it." Later, the slave will go and take a look, maybe it will bring good news to the prince. Prince, forgive the slave for being too talkative, this Qing'er girl is just a slave, why do you spoil her like this. From the perspective of a slave, the prince is too good to her, and this little girl forgot the sky and the earth for a while, forgot her identity, and became arrogant. The prince can give her a punishment and let her know that she knows respect and etiquette. Isn't it, Prince? ”

"Cheap minion, shut up!"

The prince scolded, "What do you know, I just want her to be my concubine willingly." ”

In the imperial garden, the cold wind is howling and the snow is vast.

Qing'er felt so cold, her body gradually lost consciousness, and she could only hear a faint heartbeat.

The sky was getting darker.

Consciousness gradually weakened and faded away.

In a daze, Qing'er fell down and fell into the white snow.

Suddenly, a pair of strong arms gently hugged Qing'er.

It's him!

Li Chun, King of Guangling!

He carried her to Qing'er's courtyard.

What a stupid girl, it's just that he came too late.

In the East Palace, Father-in-law Su Shi came in from outside, holding a mink cloak in his hand.

The prince was afraid that Qing'er would kneel in the snow for a long time and his body would not be able to support it, so he specially asked Father-in-law Su Shi to bring his cherished mink cloak.

"How's it going? What did Qing'er say? ”

The prince hurried over, and because he was too eager to know Qing'er's reply, he forgot about humility for a while.

The prince looked at the father-in-law Su Shi who came back, and saw the mink cloak he took back in his hand, "Why did you get this mink cloak back, didn't this prince let you put it on Qing'er?" It's so cold in the snow, she won't be able to hold it up. You're taking my orders for the wind in your ears, aren't you? ”

Father-in-law Su Shi hurriedly explained, "Prince, don't be angry! It's just that the minions are late. Not the fault of the minions! When the slave went, Miss Qing'er was gone! ”

"What's missing?"

The prince grabbed Su Shi's father-in-law, "You'd better make it clear to this prince!" ”

Father-in-law Su Shi trembled, "Prince, the slave ordered a little eunuch to watch Miss Qing'er from a distance, in case Miss Qing'er made a mistake." It's just that on the way to the slave just now, the little eunuch hurriedly ran and said that the Qing'er girl had fainted in the snow and had been taken away by the king of Guangling. It's the slave who is late, please raise your noble hand! ”

The prince was immediately furious, "It's him again!" It seems that he is going to be right with this prince everywhere! ”

The rights and wrongs of the past linger in my mind.

Qing'er's courtyard.

Qing'er was lying on the bed, covered with several layers of quilts.

Li Chun, the king of Guangling, and the moon slave accompanied him by the bedside.

The Imperial Doctor took his pulse and looked at his eyes.

"Doctor, how is Sister Qing'er?"

The moon slave stepped forward worriedly.

"It's not a big deal, you'll wake up in a while. I'll prescribe some tonic here, you fry her, just feed her to take it! ”

The Imperial Physician said, handed over a prescription, and turned to leave.

The moon slave went to decoction.

Li Chun has been by Qing'er's side all the time, and he is very anxious.

Looking at her quietly, her face was pale, in this deep palace, she had suffered so much, and she was sometimes so powerless.

Now that the queen wants Qing'er to be the prince's concubine, it is estimated that it will be even more difficult for her to get Qing'er again.

Li Chun's deep eyes were full of sorrow.

"Ahem......"

Qing'er coughed weakly.

Li Chun hurriedly grabbed Qing'er's hand and stared at her with concern.

Seeing her eyes open weakly, her heart instantly relaxed a little.

"Are you awake?"

"Have I slept for a long time?"

Qing'er clenched Li Chun's hand nervously, for fear that he would disappear suddenly.

"No, it's only a moment. Just wake up! Don't be afraid, I'll always be there for you! What happened to you? Is it a nightmare? ”

"I just had a dream. It's so cold, there is white snow everywhere, there is no source, there is no end, everywhere is empty, there are no people, there is nothing, only cold snowflakes are falling, it is really cold. I was so scared that I looked for you everywhere, but I couldn't find you. ”

"With me, I will be by your side and will never leave you. Qing'er doesn't have to think about anything, okay? ”

Seeing her frightened like a fawn, Li Chun's heart ached faintly.

No matter what happens in the future, I will be by her side and protect her.

Qing'er nodded, unconsciously clasped Li Chun's hand, and looked at him silently.

For the first time, I had dependence, and I wanted him to accompany me, watch myself, and protect myself.

Qing'er suddenly thought of Qi Qi before falling asleep, and nervously grabbed Li Chun's hand, her eyes full of sadness, "You want to save me?" ”

Li Chun held Qing'er's cold hand in the palm of his hand with both hands and kissed it on the lips.

His eyes were dark, but his face was calm and calm.

From childhood to adulthood, in this palace, he has already experienced many hardships, whether he succeeds or fails, he can deal with it calmly, the big deal is that he is dead.

"Qing'er, I already know everything about you. Don't worry, I'll figure it out! You're going to reassure me, though, you know? Take care of your illness and don't think about anything! ”

After speaking, Li Chun got up, turned around and wanted to leave.

Qing'er's hand hurriedly grabbed the corner of Li Chun's clothes, her eyes were full of sadness, and she couldn't bear him to leave.

Li Chun turned to look at Qing'er, took her hand, and put it in the bed.

"Qing'er, I'll come back to see you! After a while, the moon slave will bring a decoction and take care of the disease, you know? ”

Qing'er nodded slightly, staring at him pitifully with affectionate and sad eyes.

Li Chun turned and left.

Heavy figure, feeling that he was carrying too much, too much.
