Emperor Zhuyao's snow-white robe gently fluttered in a lonely arc, and there was an air of alienation surrounding him, as if he was resisting anyone's contact, including her.
Looking at his back, Liusu's heart suddenly felt empty, feeling uneasy like never before. What happened to him?
He seemed to have suddenly closed the door to his heart, and then pushed her out, not allowing her to come closer.
This feeling... made her a little overwhelmed. She wanted to stop him and ask him clearly, but... she didn't know what to say.
Liusu lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Emperor Zhuyao left the study and was greeted by Xiaobao——
"Your Highness, General Cao asked to see you and said yes."
"Missing." Two short words.
"Yes." Xiaobao responded, turned around and went back to General Cao, but a strange feeling arose in his heart. What happened to His Highness? He had never seen such an expression on his face.
Outside Lanling Mansion.
It's late at night, people are quiet, and the moon is white.
Emperor Zhuyao stood quietly under the cherry blossom tree. The cherry blossoms had already fallen. The night wind blew, and the moonlight shone on his body, exuding a light brilliance.
At this moment, there is no one around him, so he can completely release his inner emotions.
His lips were pursed tightly, his unparalleled face looked lonely, and his deep and gentle eyes shone with a compelling gaze.
Liusu, pregnant...
In the far corner, Nalan Xiaohu looked at the tall and proud figure of Emperor Zhuyao. She felt a distressed feeling in her heart. It was only that woman Qin Liusu who made him so lonely!
He is the King of Lanling and the Emperor of Yao. He should not be troubled by love!
Emperor Zhuyao raised his hand, picked off a leaf, and put it to his lips.
A burst of melodious and sad music sounded. The soft interlude flowed quietly in the sound of the wind, with a kind of deep affection that traveled through time and space. Time passed, things changed and people changed, the wind was also sentimental, and people were also hesitant——
Nalan Xiaohu stood in the dark and listened to him quietly. He played so beautifully. He was a god-like figure. Why did he like that idiot Qin Liusu! What was so good about her that she fell in love so easily?
Why should she stay with the god-like Emperor Zhuyao?
Liusu was in the study and heard the tunes coming from outside. The sound of the flute was filled with loneliness and sadness. But what was also faintly revealed was helplessness and frustration.
She lifted the sheet, stood up, and walked outside following the music.
The song ended, and the lingering sound lingered.
"Your Highness..." a voice sounded softly, and Emperor Zhuyao did not look back.
Nalan Xiaohu, who disguised herself as Xiaoshuang, kept in mind the lessons learned last time and would not be too proactive or reveal too much of her emotions. This time, she used her new identity to fight for him again.
"Your Highness, the weather is getting cold. Go and rest early. Miss is fine. Don't worry too much." Xiaoshuang walked forward a little and said.
Emperor Zhuyao said nothing.
Nalan Xiaohu gritted her teeth, took out the cloak behind her, and said, "The lady asked me to bring the cloak to His Highness..." As she said that, she stood up on tiptoes and put the cloak on Emperor Zhu Yao's shoulders.
Cover it...
Liusu came out and happened to see this scene. She was stunned for a moment, Xiaoshuang... did she... like him?
He didn't reject her?
She looked at the two people standing under the moonlight. A trace of sourness flashed through her heart, then she turned around and left slowly.
"Go away." Just when Nalan Xiaohu was about to touch Emperor Zhuyao, Emperor Zhuyao waved his hand violently. Nalan Xiaohu was caught off guard and fell to the ground. She raised her head and looked at it in horror.
Chasing Emperor Yao.
Emperor Zhuyao said sharply——
"I don't like others to come near me!"
Nalan Xiaohu quickly lowered his head and said, "I know my sins. I know my sins. Your Highness will atone for my sins. I don't know the rules..."
Emperor Zhuyao looked at the robe in her hand, bent down to pick it up, turned and left.
Nalan Xiaohu looked at his back, tears gradually filling his eyes——
I love you, I love you!
The atmosphere of Lanling Mansion had undergone strange changes, and Liusu also felt the difference.
In addition to Xiaoshuang, Emperor Zhuyao sent several more people to serve her, and the food delivered from the dining room was more ordered than before. Her food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all taken care of very well, but she always felt something was wrong.
Emperor Zhuyao never asked her to go to the study room again, and rarely came to see her. As of today, she has not seen him for two consecutive days. Even the three meals a day that he usually showed up no matter how busy he is.
Have meals delivered to the study.
On the third day, while eating, Zhuyunni looked at the people on the seats and asked Xiaobao standing behind him -
"Where is Your Highness? Why don't you see anyone again?"
Xiaobao looked at Liusu, and Liusu also raised his head, seeming to be waiting for his answer——
"His Highness said... that he was very busy, so he asked the princess and the master not to wait for him, and the kitchen would send his meals over."
"Are you so busy? I haven't shown up for three days, Liusu, do you know what brother is busy with?" Zhuyunni asked Liusu.
"I..." Liusu said with a forced smile on his face, "I don't know either."
"No way, haven't you seen him in three days?" Zhuyunni exclaimed.
"Yeah." Liusu nodded, then lowered his head.
Everyone ate in silence again during this meal. Liusu didn't know how to taste it, so he walked out after a few bites. Lengmei and Zhuyunni looked at each other.
"What's wrong? You spend time with your eldest brother every day, do you know the inside story?"
Lengmei shook his head.

Autumn is coming to an end, the weather is getting colder and colder, and winter is the season that Tassel fears the most.
Although there is sunshine outside, it is still a bit cold.
Liusu raised her head, and the sunlight shone on her face, which was dazzling and stung her eyes. Two lines of tears slowly flowed out from the corners of her eyes.
Emperor Zhuyao came out of the study and happened to see Liusu standing in the sun, raising his head.
