The nightmare made a sound, and she opened her eyes suddenly.

The light in the room was dim, and on a small table not far away, a luminous pearl the size of a fist shone like a firefly.

She wanted to move her hands, but then she realized that her wrist was held in the palm of a hand, and she looked sideways.

A young man in a moon-white brocade robe sat beside the bed, half-leaning on the pillar at the head of the bed, his eyes slightly closed and his breathing steady.

Under the dim light, the facial features on his face became softer and more approachable.

I have to say that God truly loves him and is not stingy with him in terms of appearance.

However, the same person looks different when he is awake and when he is asleep.

When he is awake, his eyes are deep and his facial features are cold and hard, which makes people feel inexplicably stiff and unapproachable.

At this time, he had his eyes slightly closed, and soft light shone on his face. He was like a sleeping doll. One look at him, and his heart was immediately so soft that it could drip with water.

He is only in his early twenties. In modern times, he should be studying in college. He is a sunny young man, full of enthusiasm, smiling, and full of hope and longing for the future.

It's a pity that he was born in ancient times.

Both parents died, and the elder brother died young, leaving a nephew who needs support.

At home, there are evil slaves causing trouble, and outside the home, there are people who are watching him with eager eyes, trying to destroy his family and rob him of his money and land.

Back then, he was just a teenager, but he had to bear all this silently, collect all his thoughts, face the ups and downs outside alone, and go out alone.

What is the nature of mind?

When will people grow up?

When he has experienced all the joys and sorrows, treachery, ugliness, and intrigues in the world, his character will be tempered and he will gradually become mature.

The young man in front of me has experienced pain and sorrow that ordinary people have never experienced before.

Xia Qianqian looked at him with eyes that gradually revealed a touch of pity.

Ji Zimo woke up when she exclaimed, and when he noticed her gaze, he pretended to be asleep.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, he opened his eyes and inadvertently caught the look in her eyes.

He is a person in a high position, and there are too many eyes on him.

But the most common looks are envy, admiration and fear.

Women are envious of him because of his appearance and status.

Men fear him because of his power and position.

In all these years, he has never seen a look of love in the eyes of others, especially a woman.

Cherish? Does it count as admiration?

He calmed down and said, "You finally woke up!"

Seeing him open his eyes, Xia Qianqian hurriedly shifted her gaze, coughed slightly to cover up her embarrassment, "I woke up, this is..."

She looked at the dark night outside, "What time is it? My mother will be worried if I don't go home."

"Hai Shi." He replied softly: "I asked someone to send a message. You and I have important matters to discuss, and you will rest here."

What?

Hearing what he said, Xia Qianqian broke free from his hand, propped up the bed with both hands, and sat up, "How could my conservative mother allow me to stay in your house? Hurry, I'm going back."

"The poison in your body?" He was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter. I told you, just take a nap and you'll be fine!" She lifted the quilt and was about to get up, but suddenly her eyes widened.

All the clothes on her body were changed.

"I'm..." She began to stutter.

As far as she knows, the entire Mo Mansion is made up of men, and there is not a single maid or old woman. Who changed her clothes?

He understood what she meant and pursed the corners of his lips into a thin line, "It's Aunt Rong. Cao Ran knew about your fainting in the General's Mansion and was worried about it, so he informed Mrs. Xi."

"She came to visit you with Aunt Rong."

"When did it happen?" Xia Qianqian was surprised, why she had no idea at all.

Not long after you fainted, they came.

Mrs. Xi is very worried and has been watching over you.

Mr. Liu suggested giving you a medicated bath, so they worked together to help you take a medicated bath and change your clothes.

Oh my god!

Xia Qianqian didn't expect that she was accidentally poisoned, and she seemed to be dead, and was at the mercy of others without realizing it.

She panicked and touched the sleeve handkerchief on her right wrist.

Not bad!

The sleeve handkerchief that has been wrapped around my wrist is still there.

Her sudden movements attracted Ji Zimo's attention, "Are you nervous?"

He asked tentatively.

"I have never asked anyone else to help me take a bath." She nodded and explained with a shy look.

"What's wrong with your wrist?" he asked.

"It's nothing!" Her left hand was holding the sleeve handkerchief on her right wrist. "I have a birthmark here. It's ugly. I don't want others to see it."

"Everywhere on your body looks beautiful to me! Even a birthmark!" He said, reaching over and trying to uncover her sleeve handkerchief.

Xia Qianqian held her left hand tightly, raised her eyes to look at him, and slowly shook her head, "Don't force me."

Keeping her golden finger and keeping her secret is her last line.

"What are you afraid of?"

He saw the wariness in her eyes and said slowly: "It's just a birthmark. Just now, your nightmare was also calling, 'Go away.'"

He looked at her evasive eyes and asked tentatively: "Qianqian, what are you hiding? Am I not trustworthy and not worthy of you?"

She trusts him.

But no one would believe her about this.

"Mo Yu, don't press me, I don't want to lie!" She said with a cold face, and when she raised her eyes to look at him, there was a hint of determination in her eyes.

Their eyes met, and Ji Zimo's eyes flashed with disappointment.

Is he still not worthy of her trust?

So, who is the person who can be worthy of her trust and entrustment?

Hu Tang or Feng Wei?

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you!" He comforted himself, "When you feel better and want to say something, tell me again. Just rest for now."

"I..." She still wanted to speak.

Li Yunniang's loud voice rang out in the yard, "Qianqian, it's dark, why aren't you going home? Your brother has been having trouble sleeping at night recently and keeps screaming. You have to come back quickly and give him a look!"<

/p>

Li Yunniang's voice broke the awkward atmosphere in the room.

Xia Qianqian lifted the quilt and stood up, looking at the small pink shoes on the ground, "These are not my shoes."

"Your shoes are too dirty. I'll give you a new pair. There are clothes over there. You can change them yourself."

He stood up, stood with his hands behind his hands, sorted out his emotions, and said, "If anything happens, call me."

Girls change clothes every day, why do they call him?

She grabbed her shoes and pushed him out of the house, "Get out quickly, I can still wear my clothes."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Ji Zimo knew in her heart that she had misunderstood his intention, "I was afraid that you would be weak, I was..."

"Bang!" Before he could finish his words, he was pushed out of the door.

Her strength was so great that he staggered and almost lost his footing.

"Your Highness!"

Geng Zhong timidly called out from the side, and was about to ask, "Are you okay?" The next moment, these words were swallowed by his throat.

Ji Zi straightened her body and turned around with a serious face, only to find that the yard was full of people.

He Bei, Mr. Liu, Xiao Yong, Geng Zhong and others stared at him with wide eyes, not to mention the hidden guards hiding around the courtyard, their auras were all unstable.
