After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

Hearing the apology in her words, Cui Ling pursed her lips and said, "I was wrong. You were doing this for my own good, but I lost my temper."

"Now that you mention it, it seems so." Liang Tan nodded seriously.

Cui Ling: “…”

Liang Tan couldn't help laughing when he saw his expression.

Cui Ling also smiled, but the worry in his heart only increased.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for a break. Liang Tan lay down on the bed first, and Cui Ling also made a bed on the floor. After Liang Tan lay down, he blew out the light.

Liang Tan fell asleep quickly, but Cui Ling was not sleepy at all. She lay quietly on the ground and counted her breaths.

Perhaps it was because the floor was too soft, or perhaps it was because the environment was too quiet, he also fell asleep after counting for a while. However, Cui Ling refused to sleep, and kept himself awake by keeping himself awake. Every time he couldn't help closing his eyes, he pinched his palms tightly, relying on the pain to keep himself awake.

He endured the whole night like this. When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room in the early morning, he got up and looked at the person on the bed.

Didn't disappear.

He chuckled, went behind the screen to change his clothes and went on duty. He asked a palace maid to follow Liang Tan during the day, and at night, he repeated what he did the night before.

After a few days of this, Liang Tan felt that Cui Ling's complexion was getting worse and worse, and her spirit was getting worse and worse. Occasionally, she would fall asleep while talking to her, as if she was extremely tired.

"How is the court going lately?" At dinner time again, she frowned and asked as she looked at the dark circles under Cui Ling's eyes that were getting darker and darker.

Cui Ling raised his eyes and looked at her: "Nothing, why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Are you bored? I want to hear you talk about what's happening outside." Liang Tan chuckled, but he became more and more confused in his heart. There was nothing to do in the court, and he was on duty on time every day. Why did he look so tired?

Just as I was distracted, Cui Ling suddenly asked, "Do you want more soup?"

Liang Tan came back to his senses, looked at the bowl that he had drunk empty without knowing when, and couldn't help but laugh: "Today's soup is very delicious, so I couldn't help but drink a few more sips."

Cui Ling raised his lips and took the empty bowl from her hand to fill it with soup.

Liang Tan had sharp eyes and instantly noticed the pinch mark on the center of his right hand. He immediately grabbed his wrist and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Cui Ling paused, then calmly broke free from her shackles: "Nothing, I just bumped into you by accident."

"Nonsense, I didn't touch you at all," Liang Tan frowned and pulled his hand over again. He felt distressed when he saw the marks of varying depths, "Why did you pinch yourself?"

Cui Ling pursed her lips and said nothing.

Liang Tan was unwilling to let him fool around so easily: "Also, why are you getting more and more tired recently?"

Cui Ling still didn't speak.

Liang Tan was immediately annoyed when he saw this, and he stood up directly: "Cui Ling! Are you going to tell me or not!"

Before he could finish his words, several palace servants came in to deliver cakes. When they heard Liang Tan scolding Palm Seal by name, they were so scared that they knelt down immediately.

Liang Tan did not expect that someone would suddenly come at this time. He was in a dilemma. If he continued to lose his temper, he was afraid of losing face in front of so many people and damaging his dignity as the seal holder. But if he did not lose his temper... How could he stop halfway through a temper tantrum? That would be too cowardly.

When she was in a dilemma with her brows furrowed, the Lord Palm Seal, who was usually so powerful that he could cover the sky with one hand, suddenly grabbed her hand and softened his voice to coax her: "Don't be angry, I will tell you."

Liang Tan: “…”

Before Cui Ling finished speaking, the people kneeling were already stunned.

In order to save his face, Liang Tan could only ask everyone to leave first, and then he sat down with a stern face: "Go ahead."

Cui Ling's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment he spoke: "I'm afraid you will suddenly disappear."

Liang Tan: “?”

"I'm afraid that you...will be punished by God." Cui Ling said this, and the scene of her lying in a pool of blood appeared in his mind again. The hand holding her tightened unconsciously.

Liang Tan frowned in pain, but did not break free from his shackles. After a moment of silence, he spoke helplessly: "What kind of punishment is this? I've already said it, it was just an accident in the last life, and it had nothing to do with leaking the secrets of heaven. And... Cui Ling, look at me."

As she spoke, she suddenly moved forward.

Cui Ling watched her face magnify infinitely in front of him, and his other hand on his knee unconsciously clenched his robe, and only relaxed slightly when she stopped. She was too close, so close that he could feel her breathing. Cui Ling subconsciously held his breath, fearing that their breathing would cross and he would offend her.

"Look at me, Cui Ling." She spoke again.

"I saw it..." Cui Ling answered with difficulty. The face in front of him was young and beautiful, with skin as smooth as a baby's. The corners of his lips had no traces of time, but his eyes were the same as before, pure and bright. Even if time went by, there was no change.

"I am a living person now," Liang Tan looked into his dark eyes and said word by word, "I am back and I will not disappear suddenly."

Cui Ling stared at her for a long time, and then his hand on his knees suddenly moved, as if he wanted to touch her face. But this thought flashed through his mind and he quickly ignored it.

Liang Tan stood up and tapped his forehead with his hand: "Go to sleep."

"……it is good."

Cui Ling got up mechanically, asked someone to tidy up the room, locked the door, and then went to the closet to get the bedding. When he was about to make the bed, Liang Tan suddenly moved the footstool aside and said, "Come and sleep here tonight."

Cui Ling paused and looked up.

Liang Tan smiled and waved the belt in her hand. Cui Ling didn't understand what she meant and was about to ask her what she was going to do, but she stepped forward and tied his wrists with one end of the belt.

Cui Ling: “…”

A quarter of an hour later, Liang Tan's hand near the bed was hanging down casually, and the belt tied on it was hanging down along the bed, with the bottom end tied to Cui Ling's hand. The belt was less than two meters long, and when Liang Tan moved casually on the bed, Cui Ling under the bed could feel the wrist being pulled, and Liang Tan was not very honest after falling asleep, and I don't know how many times he moved in a short while.

Normal people would have their sleep disturbed if they were pulled at any time, but Cui Ling was different from them. Feeling the pulling sensation on his wrist, he slept even more soundly.

He had not slept at night these days and occasionally took a short nap during the day, but he had never really slept soundly. His body and mind had been stretched to the limit. This time, he finally fell asleep soundly and slept soundly without even a dream. When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Liang Tan lying on the bed, looking at him with a smile.

"Did you sleep well?" she asked with a smile.

Just as Cui Ling was about to speak, he felt something was wrong under the quilt. He bent his knees unnaturally and arched the quilt up: "Why didn't you call me?"

"You were sleeping so soundly, how could I have the nerve to wake you up? Don't worry, the emperor hasn't summoned you." Liang Tan spoke to him lazily.

Cui Ling sat up and looked at the belts in the hands of the two people: "Have you been waiting for me?"

"No, I quietly untied my belt while you were sleeping and went to the bathroom," Liang Tan replied with a smile, "You see, even if I untied my belt, I didn't disappear, right?"

Cui Ling lowered his eyes and looked at the similar knots on the two people's wrists, with tenderness in his eyes.

"Hurry up and get up. I didn't even have breakfast because I wanted to wait for you to eat together." Liang Tan said as he untied his belt and got out of bed. He put on his clothes and walked towards the table. But when he was almost there, he realized that he hadn't caught up with him. He couldn't help but turn around and look at him, "Cui Ling?"

"...You eat first. I'm not fully awake yet, so take it easy." Cui Ling didn't dare to look at her.

Liang Tan sighed and said, "Okay, calm down a little." Then he sat down to eat.

Cui Ling lay under the quilt for a long time until the pain under his body subsided. He then let out a long sigh and stood up.

The two of them slept together for a few days. Liang Tan saw that Cui Ling slept soundly, so she thought of sleeping like this from now on. However, not long after, one quiet night, she couldn't help but wake Cui Ling up.

"...Quick, quick, untie it, I need to go to the toilet." Liang Tan handed the knot in her hand to him, her face flushed and she asked him for help. She had already untied it for a long time, and if she really couldn't hold it any longer, she wouldn't have woken him up.

Cui Ling was stunned for a moment, and hurried to help her untie the belt. Unfortunately, the belt that usually untied easily was particularly difficult to untie today. After a moment of silence, he found a dagger and cut the belt at her wrist.

Liang Tan regained his freedom and ran out. Cui Ling was silent for a long time, pinched his nose and suddenly smiled.

When Liang Tan came back, she saw that he had closed his eyes again and seemed to have fallen asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt embarrassed, so she climbed back to bed quietly and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.

Cui Ling, who was already fast asleep under the bed, silently raised the corners of his lips in the darkness.

Before going to bed the next night, Liang Tan found a new belt.

When Cui Ling saw her holding the belt, a smile flashed in his eyes: "No need."

"Huh?" Liang Tan looked up blankly.

"It's uncomfortable to sleep while tied up." Cui Ling replied.

Liang Tan blinked his eyes: "If you don't tie it up... can you sleep?"

"I can sleep well," Cui Ling said. Seeing that she was still hesitating, he added, "In fact, I also untied it after you fell asleep last night, and I was able to sleep well."

"Really?" Liang Tan saw him nod, and immediately cheered and fell on the bed, rolling twice before lying flat, "It's still this comfortable."

Cui Ling laughed, stood up and extinguished the candle.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually turns colder.

The emperor fell ill twice more, and became increasingly weak, even reading memorials became a problem. Since his health deteriorated, he became obsessed with praying to gods and Buddhas. This time he fell ill twice in a row, and he did not attend the morning court or review memorials. He left everything to Cui Ling and went to the Fayuan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to pray for blessings.

After hearing the news, Liang Tan quickly informed Cui Ling: "After he comes back this time, he will hold a ceremony in the palace on the second day of the winter month. At that time, all civil and military officials and their families will come, and those assassins sneaked in among them, so you have to stop this ceremony."

Because this is a rebirth story, and there is not much content before the rebirth, and there are only a few descriptions of the assassin. Liang Tan only knows that it is because Cui Ling has too many enemies, but he doesn't know who sent the assassins, so there is naturally not much useful information that can be provided to him.

Cui Ling didn't like her talking about these things, so she just nodded slightly and said, "I know."

"We must stop it!" Liang Tan frowned when he saw that he didn't seem to care.

Cui Ling saw this and knew that if he kept avoiding her, it would only make her more worried and she would reveal more information. So after a moment of silence, he said carefully: "The emperor has been particularly obsessed with Buddhism and Taoism in recent years. I am afraid that I can't stop this ceremony with just a few words."

"What should we do then?" Liang Tan suddenly became more worried.

Cui Ling consoled him: "That day I will send more people to guard the palace gates. All officials are not allowed to bring any followers except their families. I will also have people search them one by one to ensure that they do not bring any weapons in."

Liang Tan was still worried: "We must find out who wants to kill you as soon as possible."

That's too much. Cui Ling smiled and said, "Well, I will."

Liang Tan then pursed her lips and looked at him worriedly.

Cui Ling changed the subject: "Don't think about it anymore. I'll take you for a walk in the garden."

Liang Tan perked up and was about to nod when she suddenly felt a warm sensation under her body. She was stunned at first, then her cheeks suddenly turned red when she realized something.

Because she had menopause early when she became Chen Fei, she stopped having her period after the age of 45. In addition, it had been two months since her next period and she had not had her period, so she had completely forgotten about it. However, she did not expect it to come without any warning today.

"What's wrong?" Cui Ling noticed that her expression was not right, and his voice instantly became low.

Liang Tan looked at him with an indescribable look, not knowing how to explain.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Cui Ling pursed his thin lips, revealing a hint of sternness.

"...I'm not feeling uncomfortable." Liang Tan hesitated for a moment and whispered something in his ear.

Although Cui Ling had only served one concubine and had never been involved in these matters, she had been in the harem for so many years and was clear about women's affairs. She understood the moment she heard it.

"It was my mistake. I actually forgot about this." There was pure regret in his eyes.

Seeing that he was not embarrassed or awkward, Liang Tan was relieved: "Ask someone to send some menstrual pads. My lower abdomen is starting to hurt now. I'm afraid I need to change clothes and rest. I can't accompany you to walk in the garden."

"Why mention the garden at this time?" Cui Ling helped her sit down, then went to the Imperial Household Department in person and asked for a menstrual belt in front of everyone in the department.

All the palace servants who could work here were smart people. When they saw him coming in person to ask for these women's things, they were surprised and quickly took out the best ones.

Cui Ling didn't know which one to choose, so she just took both. As she was leaving with them, she thought of something and turned back halfway: "Is there anything particular about serving a woman who's having her period?"

Everyone: "..."Are you sure you want to use the word 'serve'?

Cui Ling glanced at everyone expressionlessly and immediately gained countless experiences.

Liang Tan waited in the room for a long time but no one came. The pain in her lower abdomen became more and more obvious. Her dress must be see-through, and she felt very uncomfortable.

When she got bored of waiting, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured a glass of water. Just as she was about to drink it, Cui Ling came in.

"...You're finally back." She sighed helplessly.

When Cui Ling saw the cup in her hand, he immediately walked over and snatched the cup away: "The water is cold. I'll ask someone to change it for you."

After saying that, he asked someone to change the pot of brown sugar water.

Liang Tan took a sip of the sugar water he poured himself, and after drinking half a cup, she felt the pain relieved a lot. Seeing that her brows were finally unwrinkled, Cui Ling handed the bag in his hand to her and said, "Go and change it."

Liang Tan was holding the big bundle, a little confused: "What is this?"
