Seeing that he had finished his meal, Su Yuejian put his things aside, checked his wound again, and let him lie down after confirming that there was no problem.

Xiao Heng's deep gaze closely followed the girl's every move.

"Your Highness, go to sleep. Rest for another day. We can leave the day after tomorrow."

Seeing Su Yuejian turning around and about to leave, Xiao Heng grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Su Yuejian pointed to the beauty couch by the window.

"Your Highness, please take a rest too."

There are only two rooms in Meiju that are habitable, and Ming Bushi's room cannot be moved, so she has been sleeping on the couch these days.

Xiao Heng saw the bedding on the couch and was about to get up, "No, you sleep on the bed."

Su Yuejian stopped him and said, "Your Highness, please don't move. I have finally woken you up."

"Your Highness can't sleep on that couch, so you'd better lie down on it."

Su Yuejian didn't give Xiao Heng any room to refuse. She turned around, extinguished the candle, and lay down on the couch.

After a while, Su Yuejian opened her eyes wide, not feeling sleepy at all.

Her heart was in turmoil.

What's going on? I slept soundly the past few days. Could it be because Xiao Heng woke up? I always feel that the atmosphere in the room is particularly ambiguous.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Xiao Heng's figure and his affectionate eyes kept appearing in her mind.

She sighed softly and tried to calm herself down, but her heartbeat was still accelerating uncontrollably.

Xiao Heng listened to the little person tossing and turning on the couch and sighed softly.

"Can't sleep?"

His cold voice seemed particularly gentle in the quiet night.

"Huh?" Su Yue was stunned when she heard Xiao Heng's voice.

"Your Highness, are you still awake? Did I wake you up?" She unconsciously clutched the quilt with both hands.

"No."

In the dark night, Xiao Heng's eyes were fixed on the little man on the couch.

The summer night was exceptionally quiet, with a gentle breeze blowing and the scent of jasmine flowers wafting from outside the house, creating a somewhat subtle atmosphere inside the house.

The two were silent for a moment, and Xiao Heng spoke first, his eyes full of guilt and hatred, and his hands slowly clenched into fists.

His voice was low and slightly hoarse.

"I didn't mean to hurt you, when..."

Su Yuejian quickly said, "This servant knows that the prince was controlled by the evil poison at that time. The prince does not need to blame himself."

In the dark night, Xiao Heng's eyes were deep and complicated.

He was silent for a while, then asked,

"Why can your blood cure the black python's poison?"

Su Yue was stunned and suddenly felt angry.

Xuan Yu and Xuan Feng are too unreliable!

You promised to keep it a secret! You revealed everything in the blink of an eye!!

After a moment, she replied, "I grew up on this poisonous mountain and have always had my own ways to protect myself."

Seeing that she refused to reveal it, Xiao Heng stopped asking.

Su Yuejian asked curiously, "What about your Highness? Why didn't you stop going crazy after you turned fourteen?"

Xiao Heng didn't know the reason either.

He turned slightly to the side, looking at the vague figure of the girl on the beauty bed, his thoughts lost in memories.

He was four years old that year when he had his first attack, and the frenzied killing completely occupied his mind.

He used a dagger to personally kill the nanny who raised him since childhood, as well as countless guards and maids who had served him since childhood.

When he regained consciousness, he looked at the hall stained with blood, the cold corpses scattered all over the ground, and his body and hands stained with the blood of those he had seen day and night. The heart-wrenching torture was even more difficult for him to accept than the pain of madness.

No one could find out what poison he had been poisoned with, nor could anyone diagnose and treat him.

Since then, he rarely interacted with others, and all the people serving him were replaced by shadow guards.

He lived alone in the empty palace, and he rarely even saw the emperor and the empress dowager.

For a full ten years, he thought he was destined to live a lonely life and end his life in pain.

It was not until he was fourteen years old that Su Yuejian appeared when he was on the verge of death.

Like the bright moonlight in the dark night, it illuminated his dark and gloomy life for just a moment.

Xiao Heng thought of the scene when he first met Su Yuejian, and smiled softly with his lips curved, his voice full of tenderness.

"Ever since I met you at Chaogiri Mountain, I haven't been sick since I returned."

"Huh? So weird?!"

Su Yuejian frowned and thought for a long time.

Seeing Xiao Heng was silent, Su Yuejian comforted him,

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Although this poison is a bit strange, I will definitely find a way to cure you."

For a long time, Xiao Heng did not respond.

Su Yuejian called out strangely, "Prince?"

Seeing that Xiao Heng didn't say anything, Su Yuejian stood up and looked. The person on the bed had closed his eyes.

Su Yuejian thought he was already asleep, and looked at the figure on the bed with tenderness and determination in her eyes.

Whispering softly,

"Don't worry, I will make sure you live a long life in this life."

Su Yuejian lay back on the couch, gradually feeling sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep with her eyes closed.

Listening to her long breathing, Xiao Heng on the bed opened his clear eyes.

He stood up and walked to the couch, looking at her tenderly. The girl's face was as white as snow, and her whole body was as pure and flawless as a fairy under the moon.

She was the baby God gave him when he was fourteen years old.

He gently removed the gauze on Su Yuejian's hand, looked at the hideous wound on her palm, frowned, his eyes slightly red, and kissed her hand with heartache.

He took out the medicine from the medicine box, applied it carefully to her skin, and then bandaged her body carefully.

He leaned over and gently carried her to the bed. Xiao Heng lay on his side beside her, quietly looking at her peaceful sleeping face, gently stroking her face, his eyes full of greed and obsession.

He lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Sorry, Zhao Zhao.

Forgive me.
