"Emperor..." This time, she couldn't even speak. She just looked at Ye Xun with a trembling body, and her lingering fear made her tears well up again.
"Are you having nightmares again?" Ye Xun sat down next to her, his tone so soft that Zhi Xin's heart trembled.
"Yeah." She nodded fearfully. In the dream, her adoptive mother's whip fell like rain on her body, causing her to still feel bursts of pain after she woke up.
"It's okay, it was just a nightmare."
Zhixin was trembling in Ye Xun's arms. Her frail and helpless body made Ye Xun frown in distress. He didn't expect that she, a prime minister's daughter, could show such a helpless expression, that kind of helpless expression struggling on the edge of life and death.

"Okay, lie down and sleep."
"I...I don't want to sleep." She grabbed Ye Xun's clothes and looked at him fearfully.
"It's okay, I'm here. The bad woman in the dream doesn't dare to come to you." Ye Xun reached out and patted her shoulder, giving her a reassuring smile.
"You...won't you go back?" Zhixin looked at him and asked cautiously.
"I'm not going back." Ye Xun shook his head at her, "Lie down and sleep."
