"Qing Ying... Qing Ying..."

He shouted my name almost obsessively, and suppressed it with an attitude that was no longer repressive. But, at this moment, his body suddenly stiffened, and he froze there.

The pair of eyes that were close at hand widened and looked at me in astonishment.

Two hands were pressed against his chest.

He frowned and looked into my eyes again. Although my hands were shaking because of the pain, they were fiercely determined, and my eyes were calm without any ripples. I just looked at him like this.

Then, with little force, push him away little by little.

Anger immediately appeared on his face, as if overwhelming, and he pressed down hard. Suddenly, my injured hand felt a tearing pain, and cold sweat dripped out. But I

Gritting his teeth, he refused to give in at all, still pushing him away.

Suddenly, his expression was shaken, and he looked down at my arm. There was a sound like flesh and blood bursting. The pink bandage was dyed red in an instant, and blood surged out, flowing down the arm and dripping on my arm.

on the face.

There was blood in his sight.

"Qingying!"

His voice sounded in my ears again, but it seemed to be very far away all of a sudden. I couldn't bear the severe pain as if my arm was broken. When the blood spread in front of my eyes, I slowly lost consciousness.

So cold...

In such a winter, snow falls one after another and fills the surrounding area, freezing people's breath.

I stood in the white falling snow, still a little dazed. When I turned around, I saw the red palace walls all around, still surrounding me like that. And among the white snow and red walls, a thin figure stood in front of me.

In the distance, she was wearing a white windbreaker and seemed to be walking slowly into the distance.

As soon as I saw him, I immediately shouted: "Qinghan!"

The figure stopped and slowly turned his head to look at me.

In the white snow, I saw that familiar face, but it was completely unfamiliar eyes. The once clear pupils became cold and desolate at this moment. He only turned half of his face to the side, with sharp edges and corners.

The profile of his face seemed to be carved out of ice and snow, exuding a cold air.

I was stunned for a moment, but still called him: "Qinghan, Qinghan!"

The snow fell harder and harder, slowly covering my ankles, and the coldness rose from the soles of my feet to my heart. I was eager to catch up. As soon as I stretched out my hand, I heard a click, and a red mark appeared on the snow.

Yes, blood stains.

As soon as I lowered my head, I saw that the wound on my arm was still open. The blood slowly flowed down with the warmth of my body and dripped on the snow. But because the blood flowed through the fingertips, there was a strange feeling.

Warmth.

What's going on?

I looked at my hands, then looked up at him. Snowflakes were falling in droves, gradually filling the surroundings. He was almost invisible, but I still stretched out my hands stubbornly. My whole body was frozen by the ice and snow.

The hand that reaches out to him seems to feel the body temperature of his body when it touches his figure.

So warm...

I moved my fingertips slightly, but I felt that my hand seemed to be wrapped by something. It felt slightly rough, but the temperature made me feel very comfortable. Even the snow in the dream was not that cold.

.

Wrapped in such a temperature, I don’t know how long it took before I slowly opened my eyes.

At one glance, I saw a pair of gentle eyes, looking down at me with concern. As soon as I opened my eyes, they immediately bent up and said, "You're awake."

"..."

"Are you feeling better?"

"..."

I was still stuck in a dream, and looked at her blankly for a long time before I suddenly woke up and said, "Queen!"

I hurriedly struggled to get up, but as soon as I moved, a sharp pain suddenly hit my arm. I almost fainted from the pain again, and fell back awkwardly. She hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold my shoulder: "You are injured, please don't

It's moving."

I nodded and lay back obediently. When I looked up, I realized that I was lying on the bed in my room. The room was very quiet, with only the intertwined breathing of two people. Chang Qing was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at me.

And the temperature I felt on my hands - I looked at my hands subconsciously. Her somewhat pale hands were gently held in her hands, and there was a steady stream of warmth coming from the soft skin.

, penetrated into my heart.

No wonder, it was so warm in the dream, it turned out to be her, holding my hand all the time.

My heart suddenly warmed up: "Queen, thank you, Queen."

She just smiled and did not answer my words. She looked down into my eyes and said softly: "Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah."

"You scared me."

What?

I thought about it for a moment, and then I remembered that on Pei Yuanhao's golden car, I refused him regardless of my wounds. The pain made me faint, but now? How did I get back here?

of?

As if she knew what I was thinking, Chang Qing held my hand and said softly: "It's the emperor, carrying you back."

What?!

My breath was suffocated, and my chest seemed to still have the residual pain from before, which made me shiver.

He came back with me in his arms?

How many people were watching along the way?

I bit my lower lip so hard that it hurt. I raised my head and looked at Chang Qing. Her face was still as calm as ever, but there was a little more warmth in her eyes. I wanted to get up impatiently, but it immediately hurt.

Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I felt like I had no strength left in my arms.

I couldn't move it, and I couldn't move my teeth. Chang Qing saw that my face was white with pain, and said softly: "Don't move around, your injury is very deep, and you can see the bones. The doctor told you not to touch it again. This paragraph

You can’t do anything with your time, otherwise it will be wasted, you know?”

I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

I didn't expect that I would burst open the wound and be injured like this. But looking back on the scene at that time, although the pain was like the torture I had suffered in the past, if it happened again, I would still do it without hesitation.

However, looking at my useless arms, I was in no mood to speak and lowered my eyelids.

Chang Qing looked at me and was silent for a while, then solemnly said: "Qingying, thank you."

"..."

I raised my head and looked at her. It seemed to be getting late at this time. There was only a weak candle swaying on the table behind her. The faint candle light revealed a little orange, which melted the indifference in her eyes.

A lot more, and a bit more warmth. Being looked at by such eyes, I felt a little warm in my heart, and said softly: "Queen, don't say that."

She smiled slightly: "Then, I won't talk about this."

I also smiled slightly.

This is the room I live in. It is simple and shabby. There is no hot earth dragon, nor the warm incense in the emperor's golden car. But I am lying on the simple wooden bed, with my hand in her palm, but there is something like

The feeling of being in the spring breeze suddenly makes me feel very comfortable, but also very tired. I don’t want to pay attention to anything outside, even if it goes on like this.

I'm really, really tired...

Chang Qing seemed to feel the weariness in my heart, and she kept guarding me, but I saw her eyes flickering with the candlelight, as if she wanted to say something, and she said softly: "The Queen has something to say.

Tell me?"

"..." She glanced at me and nodded.

"Queen, please speak."

I also somewhat understand what she is going to say. Even if the person in her heart is not the person beside her, her identity is different from other women in the harem. She must take every move of the emperor into consideration, and today Pei Yuan

Even if she didn't see what Hao did to me, it didn't mean that no one told her, and she was bound to find out.

However, when she opened her mouth, she said something I didn't expect at all——

"Qingying, what is your relationship with Mr. Liu Qinghan?"

I was stunned and looked at her with wide eyes in astonishment. She asked me what my relationship was with Qinghan?

Why did she ask this suddenly?

I was at a loss and looked at her blankly for a while, then hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, the Queen, why do you ask this?"

She looked into my eyes solemnly: "You tell me."

I couldn't react at all for a moment and looked at her dumbfounded, unable to say a word. Chang Qing looked at the expression on my pale face and seemed to understand everything. She was silent for a while and sighed deeply: "I

Got it."

"..."

"Actually, I should have guessed it a long time ago."

"..."

"At that time, when I come to ask you about his character, you can feel it."

"..."

"You have never said that to a person."

"..." I became increasingly speechless and just lowered my head.

She looked at me, and after a long time, she said softly: "You - why are you so confused...?"

After listening to her words, I also smiled bitterly in my heart. I am indeed confused. Half a lifetime of love has brought me to this point. I have nothing and scars, but I still can’t see the end of this road. How can I not be confused?<

/p>

But, I chose this path soberly.

I looked up at her and suddenly said softly: "Has the Queen ever gone to the studio to paint portraits?"

She was stunned, as if she didn't know why I suddenly asked such a question. She paused and then said: "No."

"..."

"I listened to your advice and did not draw on paper."

I smiled, looked into her eyes, and said, "Me too..."

Her hand holding my finger trembled, and there was a look of shock in her eyes. After a while, she lowered her head as if she was laughing or choking, rubbed my slender fingertips, and said softly:

"Why are you so stupid?"

I also laughed, but my smile was full of sourness and helplessness.

The injury on my arm no longer hurts, but I still remember how desperate and determined I was at that time; I may have to suffer greater pain to get rid of it next time, but I don’t know what kind of situation it will be.

.

At this time, I looked up at Chang Qing. There were still some tired bloodshot eyes in her eyes. I wonder if she has been watching over me, just to ask about the relationship between me and Qinghan? I was a little confused, so I asked

: "Empress, do you have anything else to say to me?"

She looked at me and nodded silently.

"You said."

"Qingying..."

She opened her mouth, but hesitated, as if something was struggling in her heart. I just looked at her. After a while, she finally used some strength to hold my hand.

Said: "What if I say that the emperor will re-admit you into the harem?"

"...!"

I just felt a burst of thunder explode above my head, and a loud bang made me stunned.
