It's just that I don't want to wake up. Now that I'm awake. The so-called illness is just a pretext. She changed into a pink and white bedgown. Long hair parted over two shoulders. It looks a little lazy. The night wind is blowing. A chill hit. The disturbed heart gradually calmed down.

She didn't go back to the dormitory. Instead, I went to the courtyard. Pear tree in the courtyard. The pear blossoms have already fallen. There are little pears hanging on the pear tree. A windward blow. All shaking their heads and swinging their heads. People walk underneath. A burst of fragrance. Light and refreshing. And the wind of the night. It's refreshing.

He strode in through the door. Punctual as usual. She still didn't want to pay attention. She can't be soft-hearted. That's not good. Her love can't be given to him in its entirety. Then she would lose herself. She's afraid. He has three thousand fans in his harem. Someday. He is on his own. I don't love it anymore. Not spoiled anymore. Then. If all love is given to him; What does she take to love herself. What can you do to protect the people around you?

Her heart is entangled. He had quietly walked behind her at some point: "Xin'er. You see how well these pears grow. Wait until the end of summer when it's ripe. Pick it off to make pear paste. Sydney meatballs. It's good."

These days. He's been talking to her all the time. Such silence between them scared him.

"Okay. When the time comes, the emperor will send someone to pick it up." The cold voice is as cold as the night breeze. It makes people tremble slightly.

He took her into his arms from behind. He buried his head in her neck again. That skin-to-skin feeling. Let him be inexplicably at ease. She didn't resist. Let him hold him.

"Xin'er. I know you blame me. But don't you be so cold......" His warm breath fluttered on her cheeks. Her mind froze slightly. She was silent. What can she blame. Everything, everything. The initiative is in his hands, isn't it. She's just a small character in the play he leads.

"I've been thinking about it. Why are we the way we are today......" She doesn't speak. He just kept saying and kept talking.

"Xin'er. I'm sorry about the matter. It's not what I thought ......."

Scold. Not what you think. But you caused it, didn't you? You're so smart. Know the Queen's intentions. But you're still messing around with her. Humiliate me in public together. Is that your apology?

"Qimo has gone. I'll be kind to her family. Let's not go on like this. Is it good?"

"Didn't you think so?" The smile on her lips was so bitter.

"Xin'er. No. I'm just angry. Angry that you pushed me to someone else. Angry you don't come to me. You don't care when you see me making out with others. Why are you so stubborn? Nothing to fight for. I think a lot. Hold the best things in the world in front of you. But you don't want any. Don't even look at it......"

But. Isn't it this no-contest and no-demand. Is that his favorite Xin'er? He himself is contradictory. Isn't it.

She felt him tremble slightly. But she didn't know what to say. I want her to flatter and compete for favor with those women. She couldn't. Then she would look down on herself.

"That's all the rift between us...... she sighed. to his thoughts. Maybe as early as the moment when he listened to Concubine Yuan framing him in Yikun Palace. It's faded a lot.

"Xin'er. You trust me. Concubine Yuan said Nan Ruochen and how are you when you are. I don't believe it......" He turned around her. Will face her to herself. Let her see the sincerity in her eyes.

"But you still believed it, didn't you? Before Concubine Yuan framed me. already knew that Nan Ruochen was a staff member of the Yuan Mansion. You let Concubine Yuan frame me. Just trying to test my reaction. If it weren't for Lord Yuan arriving in time. You even want to take the opportunity to kill Nan Ruochen. Am I right?"

She took a step back. His hand on her shoulder slid down the silky bedclothes.

All the details. He knew it all. But he didn't believe her.

"Xin'er. You...... I didn't." His eyes rippled. Anxious to want to argue about something. Something to redeem.

"Your Majesty. It's all come to this point. Why do we have to be so disguised between us?"

That day in Yikun Palace. She saw that his attitude had suddenly changed so much. She had already guessed everything. So she doesn't say a word. Indisputable. Let him and Concubine Yuan act in front of her.

He shook his head. How did he not think of it. As smart as she is. Naturally, I have long figured it out.

"Speaking of which. Qinghe's death has nothing to do with you......" A hint of pain flashed in her eyes. Too many people have already died because of her. Isn't it.

"An ungrateful minion. Not worthy of pity." His words were so cold in the night wind. He was so cold to her.

"yes. It's really not worth it. But there is no one who deserves mercy. Now that you've found it out. Then you already knew. Who is the person who wants to kill Shen Zhaoyi and her child? But the man was not only unharmed. Now he is still in charge of the Middle Palace. Even pregnant with your child. What is the truth about Qimo's death. I think you know that too. But you let Qi Mo die with the crime on his back. The person who hurt her is still fine. Is this what you should do as an emperor?"

She knows. He is now the emperor. She shouldn't have spoken to him like that. But she didn't know. Why are these words clearly questioning him? But let his face be cold. She keeps it all in her heart. Try to make the relationship between two people not become so complicated. But the rift has already appeared. It's hypocritical to pretend again. Isn't it.

Looking at her with tears on her face. He was at a loss. didn't even have the courage to wipe it for her: "Xin'er. I have my bitterness and helplessness...... "He is the emperor. The King of a Nation. He has his thoughts and considerations.

She smiled coldly: "Bitter. Can you hurt me and the people around me again and again if you have a hard time? If you don't believe me, don't you. But I don't want my Qimo to die. But he still has to bear the charge of murdering the emperor's heir."

He was speechless. She closed her eyes and sighed. Turn around and leave.

Walk to the door of the temple. She stopped again. But he didn't turn around. Only left him with a thin back. Said: "Nan Ruochen is my savior. And he saved you. I don't want anything to happen to him. If you don't like him. You can be sent out of the palace. This house is not for him. Only the unfettered rivers and lakes. It's the best place for him."

Looking at her way. His heart was desolate. He thought they weren't a step apart. As long as he takes that step. They can go back to the way things were. But at this point. He just knew. They have long been far apart. He doesn't know. Will he be able to walk this distance.
