In the early morning, the light shone through the window lattice, covering the quiet hall with a thin layer of veil.

Xiahou Lie sat quietly on the dragon couch, his eyes lowered, and his eyes stopped on his legs covered in the bedding. However, although he was watching with his eyes wide open, he was dark in the empty eyes, and there was no light reflected in the light.

He had worked very hard, but he could only see thin shadows in his eyes. Day by day, day by day, he could see less and less clearly, and his vision became blurry. Sometimes, he couldn't even see his hands in front of him.

Perhaps, when I wake up tomorrow morning, I will never see anything again. He thought.

A faint bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and soon, he could not see anything except the darkness.

Even though I have been mentally prepared, I still can't help feeling pain.

He never thought that one day he would become such a useless person.

Such helplessness and fear made him unable to hide like a net.

He still remembers how energetic he was when he was young. In order to marry Qing'er, he kept trying his best to marry Qing'er, but he kept working hard behind his back, hoping that one day he would become successful and have enough capital to marry the woman he loved.

But now, with all his country and lovers, he could only force himself to drive her away from his side with the most vicious words, allowing himself to endure the biting pain of missing him day by day.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Aunt Chu's clear voice came with the sound of opening the door. "It's raining heavily outside. The trees outside the window have fallen more and more. A layer of red fallen flowers are laid on the ground, which is very beautiful."

This is Aunt Chu’s routine for the past ten days. Every morning, she would talk about the weather outside today, which flowers bloomed again, and which flowers fell, just like what she once said:

"It doesn't matter if the emperor's eyes cannot be seen, my aunt is your eyes."

He still remembered that when they were a slaughter in Western Chu, their orphans and widows depended on each other in the Western Chu Palace. In order to protect him, Aunt Chu suffered a lot. Although she was nominally a master and servant, in fact, she had long regarded her as a relative.

Xiahou Lie smiled, reached out and pressed his knees, not wanting Aunt Chu to see something strange, so she struggled to get up, but her feet softened as soon as they hit the ground, and instantly fell back to the bed.

Chu Yunxiu's face changed and she rushed over. When she touched his finger, she was startled by the temperature above:

"Master, why are your hands so cold? Did the quilt not cover it warm enough last night?"

She still asked earnestly as if she was looking after young children.

But such considerate made him feel more useless.

He suddenly pulled out his hand, shook his head, and said lightly:

"No, the quilt is very warm, almost making me unable to sleep."

"Then why are your hands so cold? It must be because the emperor stays in the palace all day long, his body becomes worse, and it will be sunny every day. My aunt must help you out and bask in the sun..."

Xiahou Lie's thin lips were tightly pursed, and he suddenly murmured: "Even if you want to go out, it won't work anymore. My legs no longer feel anything."

"emperor!"

"Auntie, don't panic. This is a matter of time. Now it may be just a temporary moment. Just like at the beginning, my eyes gradually blurred to now only seeing thin shadows. In the future, my legs will be like this, slowly, slowly losing consciousness until I can no longer walk."

His voice was still faint, and he could not hear any emotion, as if he was talking about others, but it made Chu Yunxiu feel even more sad.

"Auntie is going to find the Imperial Doctor now. Please wait, and Auntie is going to find the Imperial Doctor now..."

She said, turning around and running out.

"Don't go!" He suddenly shouted at her, "Even if the imperial physician comes, it's still the same, not to mention that I cannot let anyone know about my current situation except you. Aunt, don't be sad. Maybe my legs will move later."

"Emperor..." Chu Yunxiu's eyes red with sadness, "If the Empress knows, she will feel sorry for her..."

Hearing this, Xiahou Lie did not speak immediately, but subconsciously reached out and touched the pillow. When his finger touched the little jade rabbit with his body temperature, he could no longer suppress his grief. A drop of clear tears slowly rolled down from the corner of his eyes and fell on the jade rabbit in his hand.

"Emperor..." Chu Yunxiu exclaimed in surprise, looking at the wet marks on his face in disbelief. She had been serving him since Xiahou Lie was born. She knew the temper of this little master. When he was a slut in Western Chu, no matter how much he suffered, he had never shed a tear at a young age. What's more, his strong and resolute personality when he grew up, even though he was inseparable from him.

She never thought that he would cry, but at this moment, she saw that he really cried.

"A Lie..." At this moment, she felt painless and wanted to be the poisoned person, and she would not torture this child she regarded as her own child like this.

Xiahou Lie always felt that he had been so fragile. He let Aunt Chu take his head into his arms, just like when he was a child, hugging him tightly. He heard his voice echoing in her arms:

"I miss Wan."

His voice was very soft, as if he had a heavier tone, his heart that was already painful would be even more painful.

Yes, he missed her.

Perhaps it was because his eyes gradually lost their light, which made his heart no longer strong, and he began to miss her more and more. His past self-esteem and pride became insignificant at this moment. The mood of wanting to see her was like a sharp blade and slashing his heart. As time goes by, the sharp blade is getting deeper and deeper, and it has already hurt into his heart.

He thought all this was ironic. That day, he was clearly speaking so cruelly and ruthlessly.

But how long has it been? It's only ten days, and his longing for her is enough to make him crazy.

He felt that he was so cruel, really!

He was like a tyrant, or a tyrant who knew her very well. Even though he knew where her weakness was, he even knew where she was most susceptible to injury, he stabbed that place hard with mercy.

Even if he doesn't get her forgiveness in his whole life, he deserves it.

He put the jade rabbit on his chest and sighed softly, unable to control his longing, just like a maggot eating his bones and blood. With his life as nutrients, as long as he lives for one day, he will still attack, which can still make him feel the pain of consuming his heart and burning his bones.

When the last note flowed out from his fingers, Mu Qingwan had already burst into tears.

"Qingwan..."

These days, he has listened to her singing the song "Three Inch Paradise" over and over again. Every lyric in that song seemed to be digging out from her own heart, which made him even more sad when he heard it.

Seeing her increasingly depressed mood, her still pale face and her gradually weak body, and when she thought of the situation of the person in the palace, he only felt that if she continued like this, even he would go crazy.

Before he could react, he had already strode forward and grabbed her hand, "Let's go, I'll take you into the palace to see him."

But at this moment, Mu Qingwan shook her head and refused. She pulled her hand out of his shackles little by little, with a sad face but a very firm attitude:

"No, I won't go to him again. He has admitted in person that he has touched another woman. He knows that this is my bottom line, and he knows it... It can be seen that he really doesn't want this relationship anymore... Let's do it. Instead of torture and resentment from each other, it's better to separate like this... Showa, give me some time, I will forget his... I will become the Mu Qingwan's before... I will definitely... "

At the end, she spoke louder and louder, rather than trying to convince Showa, she was trying to convince herself.

"If I can really forget, why did you become like this? Qingwan, don't deceive yourself, you can't forget him!" He walked over and took her hand again: "Follow me, go see him with me..."

Mu Qingwan seemed to be stabbed by something, and suddenly jumped in shock and shook his hand away, and shook her head while retreating:

"No, I won't go...I won't go...I don't want to see him again in this life...I hate him..."

After she shouted loudly, she ran out quickly. Showa quickly chased after her and pulled her back. Her eyes suddenly seemed to be filled with blood and were scaryly red. Mu Qingwan was shocked by this and heard his voice ringing in his ears like ice and snow:

"That's all his lie to you! He didn't touch Zhou Churuo, nor did he touch any other woman! The reason he forced you away was because he was poisoned by the poison and was almost dead!"

Mu Qingwan was stunned. After a while, she seemed to have reacted to what Showa said, and subconsciously began to retort loudly:

"How is it possible? You lied to me! You lied to me. How could I not know if he was poisoned by the poison? I can't not know. You lied to me... How could he die... He is so in good health... so high martial arts... How could he die? Showa, you must be lied to me, right? You are joking with me, right..."

The tears that I thought I had dried up in tears fell in a mess again. Her voice was so silence that she was unreasonable. She held Showa's sleeves tightly with her hands and stared at him tightly, as if a word of his could determine her life and death.

However, when she saw him just looking at her silently and compassionately, her face was pale, she knew that all this was true.

She remembered the unusual coughs of Xiahou Lie after Helian Hengzhi and the others escaped that day. She remembered his sudden change in attitude since returning to the palace that day...

Thinking about it now, all this was so obvious that she was so confused that she didn't notice it.

She wants to see him! She wants to see him!

At this moment, she could no longer deny that the strong longing in her heart was deeply tied to him.

She wiped away her tears, turned around and ran out the door...

In the cool breeze, a trace of warm sunshine spread sparsely from the middle of the vines, falling on Xiahou Lie's deep facial features as sharp as a knife. He closed his eyes and sat on a bamboo chair with a backrest, listening attentively to the sound of birds coming from the garden. Apart from that, the yard was so quiet that there was no sound.

His condition was getting worse and worse. In order to avoid showing flaws in front of others, he had already let Leng Su pretend to be him to guard the Longyu Palace. The court affairs were handed over to Showa, and he himself moved to a secluded small courtyard in a corner of the palace.

My daily life was arranged by Aunt Chu and Li Changan, because his eyes were almost invisible to the point where he could not see anything.

At first, he could barely read those books and draw a few paintings to pass the time, but the later he got, his body became worse and he couldn't even hold the pen. He couldn't think of what he could do, and he was stunned for the whole day and spent it hard to survive.

However, he had never enjoyed such tranquility. At this time, all the troubles in the world seemed to have nothing to do with him. Only the delicate shadow and the stunning beauty were left in his mind, heart, and memory.

Every day, recalling every bit of their past and describing her face in his mind is already his must-do homework.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of scattered dead branches and leaves being trampled from behind. He did not look back and secretly became alert, "Who is it?"

"It's me." It was not until the moment when I saw him that Mu Qingwan realized how much she missed him.

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiahou Lie's body trembled slightly, and his whole heart was as if it was twisted by a silk thread. There was a faint pain. He pinched the jade rabbit in his hand and said coldly:

"What are you doing?"

"I want to see you, so I came." Her voice was still gentle. If you listen carefully, you could hear a hint of sob. But he, who had a sharp hearing, could naturally hear it clearly.

He couldn't see her at this moment, and could only imagine her tears in his heart. He felt that the pain in his heart became tighter and tighter. He closed his eyes and shouted coldly:

"You go! I don't want to see you again!"

He sneered, barely saying the cruelest words in the calmest tone:

"Mu Qingwan, where did you go when you were arrogant in the past? Didn't you hate the most that I touched other women? Why? You have figured it out now, and you don't want to insist on being monogamous. You want to work with the concubines in my harem? But now even if you figure it out, I don't plan to ask you. Get out of here, don't let me see you again!"

Hearing this, Mu Qingwan felt that her scarred heart had a deep hole in her heart. She was about to speak when her sleeves were suddenly pulled by Showa beside her. When she saw the gesture he made, she had to cry and nod and pretend to be cold:
Chapter completed!
