When I woke up the next day, it was still dawn, and the cool morning breeze drove away the beautiful room, and the air was as gentle as water.

Gu Qimu seemed to be tired, sleeping beside Shen Ye, like a child full of worries, his eyebrows furrowed, but his expression was very relaxed, even a little innocent.

Shen Ye raised his arm, gently brushed his thick black eyebrows with his fingertips, and slowly descended, landing on his lips, gently sliding.

"If you really treat me as you said in the future, and spoil me like that, it will not be in vain for me to sell my flesh." Shen Ye looked at Gu Qimu's side face and said softly.

Even if it's just a quest, when it's done, you'll leave and go to the next place.

However, Shen Ye still wanted to get Gu Qimu's unique favor.

Even if he would disappear without warning after completing the task one day, he would never appear again, as if he had forcibly pulled a piece of meat from Gu Qimu's heart, and there was a kind of heart-wrenching despair.

But.....

"I still want your unique favor, even though it may not be fair to you."

As long as you get favored, then the hidden task of tearing the White Lotus will also be completed......

But why, my heart is a little uncomfortable.

I probably haven't woken up yet, my head hurts badly, my temples hurt every time, my waist seems to be broken, and I have no strength in my body.

After admiring the prosperous face of the man next to him, Shen Ye fell asleep again.

When Shen Ye fell asleep, Gu Qimu suddenly opened his eyes, and under his eyes was a vast ocean with no end in sight.

He looked at Shen Ye's exhausted sleeping face for a long time, and some unpredictable expressions crossed his face.

After a while, he moved his body and tiptoed out of bed, like a thief committing a crime, for fear of being discovered.

He quickly dressed himself, and he didn't need to be served at all.

Qiu Ci and the eunuchs who were waiting outside heard the movement in the house and immediately pushed the door in, Gu Qimu was tying his belt for himself, and when he saw the people who came in, he made a silent motion, and then waved his hand to signal them to go out.

After receiving Gu Qimu's order, the subordinates didn't dare to take a breath, and cautiously withdrew to close the door, for fear that the emperor would condemn the sleeping person who accidentally hit the bed.

After Gu Qimu was dressed neatly, he looked back at the person sleeping quietly on the bed, his bright eyes narrowed, and finally turned to leave.

The dilapidated palace, overgrown with weeds, has not been visited for a long time.

Shen Ye stood in the dilapidated palace, surrounded by furniture covered in dust and cobwebs, and there were snakes and centipedes and other reptiles on the ground.

Suddenly, there was a 'snap', and the sound of a chair falling to the ground came from behind him, and Shen Ye's consciousness began to be groggy.....

It was as if someone was choking his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe and starving his brain of oxygen.

At this time, the wind came from nowhere, howling and rolling the dead leaves in the courtyard and filling the entire palace.

Shen Ye slapped his neck with all his might, just as his consciousness was about to be swallowed up, and his heart was about to rush out of his throat and cough up blood.

A pair of hands grabbed him.....

"Queen Mother!"

"Queen Mother, wake up!"

The voice......

This voice is so familiar!

Shen Ye's heart returned to his chest in an instant, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and the dazzling light invaded his vision, and the person in front of him was Qiu Ci with a panicked face.

"Mother, did you have a nightmare just now?"

Shen Ye nodded, his head dizzy, and his thoughts were still stuck on the weird nightmare just now.

took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the position beside him, but was surprised to find that Gonggong Li was standing outside the screen with a anxious face.

And in his hand, he seems to be holding something......
