The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Nanny Pan nodded and carefully observed the Queen's expression, as if trying to figure out some countermeasures from her face.

However, the queen hesitated to speak, her brows slightly frowned, as if she had a lot of anger accumulated and had no place to vent. Then she coughed violently a few times and her face turned slightly red.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The queen covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and her breathing seemed a little unstable.

"What a joke! You don't look like a concubine at all!" The queen's voice was filled with disdain and anger. Although her tone was cold, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

Nanny Pan stood aside, pursed her lips cautiously, and her eyes turned around unconsciously. She was obviously wondering what impact this sudden farce would have on the situation in the harem.

"Your Majesty...how should this matter be handled?" Nanny Pan asked tentatively, lowering her voice very low for fear of touching the Queen's sensitive emotions.

The queen did not answer immediately. Instead, she reached out and gently patted the jade pillow beside her. Her action was a little impatient, as if she was suppressing the waves in her heart.

After a moment, she took a deep breath, her eyes gradually regained their composure, but her tone remained serious: "Call Concubine Chunhong and Zhen Yingda over!"

Nanny Pan was startled when she heard this, but she quickly reacted and bowed her head, "Yes, I'll go and tell them right away."

Zhen agreed, and it was Ji Shu who successfully climbed onto the dragon bed a few days ago.

……

The pace of time is slowly moving forward.

Late at night, the midsummer moonlight was cool and silver light sprinkled on the wild grass on the outskirts of the city, and dewdrops reflected tiny dots of light.

Occasionally, the chirping of insects could be heard from the woods in the distance, as if adding a bit of liveliness to the quiet night, but also making the surroundings seem even more silent.

In an open space on the outskirts of the city, in a hidden corner, two figures stood quietly, as if blending into the night.

Not far away, Chunzhi and Qiuzhi stood guard vigilantly, their eyes alert, always paying attention to the movements around them.

"Yun'er, you weren't discovered by other people this time, right?" Shen Runing asked in a low voice, with worry in his eyes and his tone very low, for fear of attracting any unnecessary attention.

Ji Yun nodded gently, his voice even lower than before: "No, I'm very careful."

Shen Runing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, and carefully took out a white paper bag from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Ji Yun.

However, the moment she handed it over, her hand paused and she looked at Ji Yun with complicated eyes.

"Yun'er, it will be very painful. Have you really thought it through?" Shen Runing's voice was mixed with reluctance and hesitation, and his eyes were deep, as if he wanted to persuade her again.

Ji Yun's eyes were slightly red and tears were welling up in his eyes, but he remained unmoved.

She took the paper package with trembling hands, her voice was as light as a feather, but full of determination: "I've made up my mind."

Shen Runing looked at Ji Yun's thin figure, feeling a pang of pain in his heart, but he could only sigh.

He gently withdrew his hand, his eyes involuntarily sweeping across the dark night around him.

"If you regret it later..." Before Shen Runing could finish her words, Ji Yun interrupted her by shaking her head: "You won't regret it." Although her voice was soft, her tone was firm, as if she had suppressed all the sorrows and joys in her heart.

Love faces all difficulties and also overcomes all difficulties.

The word "love" in this world can make mountains and rivers pale in comparison, and can also make people go through fire and water.

In this dark and quiet summer night, the conversation between Shen Runing and Ji Yun was like a flash of lightning, tearing through the endless silence and igniting countless unspeakable determination and hidden pain.

Although love is as heavy as a thousand pounds, it is also the only motivation that keeps her going.

Shen Runing pursed her lips, as if she was making the final decision for herself and Ji Yun.

"Starting tomorrow, take one pill a day. The effect will be seen in about half a month."

The voice was low and calm, like an ultimatum from the King of Hell, cold but unchangeable. The words echoed in the empty night, seeming extremely heavy.

After hearing this, Ji Yun tightly grasped the paper bag in his hand and nodded: "Okay, Ning'er, I understand." His tone was calm, but his tearful eyes concealed infinite sadness and stubbornness.

Shen Runing looked at her, hesitant to speak, and finally asked: "Does your mother know?"

Ji Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly. That smile was like a withered flower in the wind, fragile but stubborn: "I haven't told anyone about this. Only you and I know about it."

Shen Runing's eyes flickered, as if she was a little bit unbelievable, yet she didn't seem surprised by such an answer.

She sighed, and slowly reached out to hold Ji Yun's trembling hand: "Yun'er, this road is difficult to walk, but as long as you want to go, I will accompany you to the end."

Tears welled up in Ji Yun's eyes, but he forced himself not to let them fall. He nodded gently and said firmly: "Ning'er, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."

The night wind gradually died down, the moonlight was still cold, and their figures seemed even more resilient in the night.

Just as the two were looking at each other, suddenly a slight "whoosh" sound came from the tree, like someone flying through the branches across the night sky.

There was dead silence all around, and the sound was particularly clear.

Ji Yun was shocked, and before Shen Runing could react, he protected her behind him. There was a sharp flash in his eyes, and his gaze was fixed on the woods ahead.

The night wind suddenly stopped, and the occasional chirping of insects also disappeared. The surroundings were eerily quiet, as if the only sound left in the world was the sound of leaves swaying gently in the wind.

At this moment, a burst of light footsteps came from a distance. The sound of stepping on the leaves came from far away, dull and slow. Every sound seemed to fall on people's heart, making people breathless.

“Sha-sha-sha…”

Many leaves fluttered down from the treetops, looking like fluttering white butterflies in the moonlight. However, this scene, which should have been romantic, was eerie.

The fallen leaves seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, circling, and finally gathered on the ground, forming a vague shadow.

"Who's there!" Ji Yun shouted coldly. Although his voice was not loud, it revealed his awe-inspiring aura, covering up his inner panic and anxiety.

No one answered.

The footsteps were getting closer, as if a figure was approaching them.

Shen Runing clenched her hands tightly, she was a little surprised by the sudden unexpected situation.

Ji Yun quickly stuffed the white paper bag back into his sleeve, and protected Shen Runing as he retreated step by step behind a big tree. He whispered, "Ning'er...after all, I am sorry for you and dragged you into this."

This matter has nothing to do with Shen Runing. It would be unfair to involve her in it.
