The night breeze blows and the shadows of the trees dance.
Jin Zhao's whole body was covered with wounds, and it hurt even if he touched it, let alone lying down to sleep. He had to take advantage of the night to copy the map in his hand. Even if he felt sleepy for a moment, the smell of medicinal herbs was blown to his face by the wind, and soon he would be gone.
It still made people sober up. Even Ye Fengxuan was surprised when he came in and saw Jin Zhao looking at paintings.
"Sixth Master, you are here." Jin Zhao saw Ye Fengxuan appear, raised his eyebrows and said softly.
Ye Fengxuan's face was buried in the shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly, "You know I will come?"
"Well." Jin Zhao said, folding the parchment in his hand and handing it out together with the map he drew, "Master Liu, I have found the map. Please rescue my sister as soon as possible."
Ye Fengxuan walked to the table, picked up the map and looked at it, "How did you find it?"
"It's in the study. I just looked for it with the mentality of giving it a try. If it's not in the study, it must be in the bedroom. With Ye Yunsheng's character, the more important things are, the more casually he will put them.
He reads in the study all day long. I think that many times, it should be more than just reading, so I carefully flipped through the books he usually read. He really put them in them like bookmarks." Jin Zhao said solemnly.
He said, "The parchment is on the desk, on page 25 of the third book on the left. I will ask Mr. Liu to put it back for you."
Ye Fengxuan responded, not expecting that she would go to the study to steal the map at this time, nor did he expect that after experiencing something like that, she could still remain calm and sober as always. Ye Fengxuan put the map into his sleeve and moved toward
Jin Zhao walked over.
In the night, when he was standing far away just now, he only felt that her face was a little paler, but now he was closer, looking at the scars on her neck, hands, and even the bruises and swelling on her face, he felt...
But there was a dull pain, "I'm sorry, I couldn't come to save you."
Jin Zhao was startled when he heard Ye Fengxuan's apology, and then shook his head.
She knew very well that the only one who could leave the table just now was probably Nan Shuibi, who Ye Yunsheng couldn't deal with.
so--
"Sixth Master, there is no need to blame yourself. This is Prince Yun's Mansion. Ye Yunsheng will naturally keep a close eye on you. If you come to save me, I will blame you. I am fine, and Sixth Master does not need to worry about me. The overall situation is more important.
Jin Zhao shrugged indifferently and comforted him, as if what just happened was just an insignificant thing.
Ye Fengxuan listened to her comfort but was not happy at all. She was just a woman, a woman who was always hurt. However, he did not want to see her so strong, carrying everything on her own and taking it to her stomach.
Swallow. He would rather she make a fuss and cry than she is now. Her sobriety was beyond his expectation, which made him feel a deeper sense of self-blame and powerlessness.
Ye Fengxuan is a very controlling person.
However, Jin Zhao made him feel that he was losing control over her time and time again. He didn't like this feeling of losing control. He was even a little afraid.
He was afraid that after he fell in love with her, one day, she would leave him uncontrollably.
Because he doesn't want to lose her anymore.
"In the future, you don't have to be so forceful. I hate people who are hypocritical." However, even though he was feeling extremely uncomfortable, Ye Fengxuan's face still looked carefree and lazy.
Seeing him acting as usual, Jin Zhao was inexplicably relieved, "There won't be a next time."
"That's best." Ye Fengxuan said, turning his head away, hiding his inner turmoil.
When he saw the bottle beside the bed, he asked again, "Have you taken all the medicine?"
"I've been there."
"Have a good rest." Ye Fengxuan looked at her pale face and couldn't bear the thought that she had been waiting for him to show up and refused to rest. He tapped her sleeping point and laid her flat on the bed.
Only in this way could he care about her as usual. Otherwise, if he couldn't hold it back for a moment and said something he shouldn't have said, with her intelligence, if she guessed that he liked her, I'm afraid it would be more difficult in the future.
I can't keep her anymore.
Watching her close her eyes, Ye Fengxuan carefully opened her sleeves and collar and took a look. When the shocking scars came into view, the anger in Ye Fengxuan's heart was gradually ignited.
With her fierce temper, it didn't take a second thought to know that Emperor Jingcang would be angered. How could he not know what kind of virtue his father was? I'm afraid, if Nan Shuibi hadn't saved him in time, the person lying in front of him now would be
It's a corpse.
His fingertips lightly brushed over her scars. Looking at her body that was shaking slightly even in sleep, Ye Fengxuan didn't know how many injuries she had suffered and how painful it was. He held one of her hands.
, facing her palm, and channeling the internal force in his body towards her little by little. Perhaps the only thing he can do now is to make her not hurt so much...
The next day, when Jin Zhao woke up, Ye Fengxuan had already disappeared.
She had no idea how she fell asleep on the bed, but her body somehow didn't hurt so much. So, she still struggled to change her clothes, got up and went to Ye Yunsheng's study to prepare for service.
"Didn't I send someone to inform you that you don't have to come?" Ye Yunsheng saw Jin Zhao appearing, his cold eyes filled with surprise.
"I'm fine. Your Majesty, you don't need to treat me specially." She almost cut off the Emperor's life yesterday. What she wanted to know more when she came was what kind of punishment she would receive.
How could Ye Yunsheng not know what she was thinking when he saw her look like that? He sighed softly, "I have sent the person in charge of sleeping in the palace back to the palace, you don't need to worry."
Jin Zhao sighed, but was not very happy, "Thank you, Lord." I don't know which poor girl is about to be tortured by Emperor Jingcang.
Seeing Jin Zhao's silence, Ye Yunsheng thought of her pleading look yesterday and just said, "What happened yesterday..." Jin Zhao had already interrupted him and pushed the tea in front of him, "Your Majesty, the tea is cool.
Already."
Since she would not be punished, she did not want to hear any words that would shake her.
Regarding her deliberate evasion, Ye Yunsheng saw it and knew it. He raised his eyebrows and affirmed, "You are blaming me."
"No." Jin Zhao glanced at him expressionlessly, "This slave is just a servant and knows his duty. If the prince has nothing else to do, I will go out and wait."
Ye Yunsheng glanced at her from the corner of his eye. She was still blaming him.
