Get the resurrection scroll, and eat melons and meat after entering the book

When Helian Han heard someone coming in, he looked up and saw Wu Qing with her hands behind her back. He closed the document in his hand, curled the corners of his mouth and asked, "What are you hiding?" He took the kettle and poured himself a cup of tea.

Wu Qing walked a few steps to Helian Han, holding a small windmill in each hand, one yellow and one blue.

He reached out and took a blue one without understanding what it was. He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. Then he looked up and saw Wu Qing staring at the yellow one, with her eyes wide open, her cheeks puffed out, and she blew a breath.

How can you be so childish?

Helian Han was dazzled for a moment.

When Wu Qing finished blowing, she looked up and saw Helian Han, who was stunned. "Don't you praise me for my cleverness?" She didn't know what was going on and asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Helian Han was stunned and had not even had time to swallow a mouthful of water when Wu Qing screamed and choked him, starting to cough madly.

Wu Qing hurried over to pat Helian Han's back, "You're so young, you can choke on a sip of tea."

Helian Han choked on the tea and coughed it out, getting a wet spot on the front of his clothes.

There was something Wu Qing had always wanted to ask before, and the matter of Helian Han's wet clothes came to her mind again. Just as she was about to ask, Xiao Luzi heard the noise, came in hurriedly got clean clothes for Helian Han, and wanted to help him change clothes.

Helian Han waved his hand, "No need, go down!"

As soon as Xiao Luzi left, Helian Han beckoned Wu Qing to come over to help. He noticed that Wu Qing hesitated to speak and asked, "What's the matter?"

It was rare for Wu Qing to have a serious expression in front of Helian Han, especially since the man in front of her was still changing clothes. She neither touched her nor flirted with her, which made Helian Han feel a little uncomfortable.

Wu Qing asked seriously, "Can you be honest with me? Is Your Highness afraid of water?"

Helian Han paused while putting on his clothes, looked back at Wu Qing, thought about it seriously, and nodded.

Wu Qing was even more puzzled. "Your Highness is obviously a good swimmer, so why is he afraid of water?" Helian Han didn't answer. Wu Qing continued to ask, "During the Chrysanthemum Festival, Your Highness jumped into the lotus pond to save Qian Xiuwei. Did he know that he was afraid of water? Or did he save her even though he knew it?"

Helian Han blinked once, then blinked again, then blinked again. Wu Qing watched him three times.

What Helian Han realized at this moment was that if he answered this question incorrectly, it would not be a problem, but fate.

But he couldn't hide it from Wu Qing. He thought he couldn't hide it because she was too smart.

Helian Han bit his cheek before speaking slowly: "I didn't even see who that person was that day."

It wasn't because that person was Qian Xiuwei, but because he would jump into the water to save anyone. Why? He knew he was afraid of water.

Wu Qing couldn't understand why, but she didn't say anything and waited patiently for what happened next.

"You know my mother passed away a long time ago, and it's something that can't be mentioned in the palace." Helian Han's expression instantly became gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.

Of course Wu Qing knew all this, but she didn't know the finer details.

Helian Han's throat was a little tight, "My mother fell into the ice hole to save me. Before she died, she reached out to me, but she didn't ask me to save her. She asked me to go away..." He choked and couldn't continue. He had hated himself all these years.

Wu Qing's heart sank. She stood up and sat on Helian Han's legs, resting his head on her shoulder. She did not signal him to stop. She knew that some wounds had to be uncovered before they could heal.

If she guessed correctly, Helian Han started to fear water after his mother, Concubine Ji, passed away, but because he couldn't get over it, he forced himself to learn how to swim. He knew how to swim but was still afraid of it.

Wu Qing felt even more distressed.

Helian Han never mentioned it for many years. It was not because the wound had healed, but because he had hidden it and it never healed.

Helian Han hugged Wu Qing tightly, without any sensuality, he was just trying to gain strength to continue speaking.

After a while, he spoke again: "The ice had just frozen in winter, and I thought it was solid. I secretly shook off the people following me and ran to play on the ice of Yudai River. Mother called me to come back, and I turned around. The ice under my feet was cracked. I was so scared that I wanted to run away, but the ice broke completely and I fell into the water.

My mother is a good swimmer. She jumped into the river, grabbed me, and pushed me onto the ice. But as soon as I lay on the ice, another piece of ice broke off. After three times, I was shaking. I could feel that my mother had no strength left. The water was too cold and was also taking away my strength.

For the last time, my mother gave up her chance to come out. She grabbed the edge of the ice with one hand and pushed me towards the shore with the other. I slid onto the solid ice, but my mother used too much force and broke a large piece of ice. When I looked back, I saw my mother's hand stretched out of the water and waved vigorously. She was telling me to leave quickly..." Helian Han could not continue, his face buried in Wu Qing's shoulder, crying silently but trembling all over.

The more Wu Qing listened, the heavier her heart felt. She didn't try to persuade him, but just hugged Helian Han and stroked his back with one hand.

Cry, cry it all out!

Helian Han kept crying, and Wu Qing could hear his nasal tone when he spoke.

"When I saw a hand waving on the water, I was stunned. I thought it was my mother's hand. I felt that I was strong enough and didn't need my mother to protect me anymore. I could save my mother.

I know very clearly that it's not my mother, but I feel like I'm saving a woman just like my mother..." Helian Han shook his head, as if trying to get rid of something. "No matter who that person is, I will go to save him. I feel that I should go, I must go, as if it's for my mother."

If Helian Han was sober enough, he would not have said these last words in front of Wu Qing. It was too suspicious.

But his thoughts were as confused as when he jumped into the water to save people.

Wu Qing understood. He didn't care who he saved. He felt that he was strong enough. It would be more accurate to say that he was saving himself rather than saving his mother.

He wanted to forgive himself, wanted to let himself go, and wanted to use his actions at this moment to redeem what he had been unable to do in the past.

Wu Qing stroked the back of Helian Han's head.

Helian Han felt comfortable being touched. He had cried enough and made himself understood. He rubbed Wu Qing's shoulders and neck like a big dog, like a child who needed adult care.

At this moment, he finally reconciled with the child on the glacier.

Wu Qing didn't want to say anything or listen anymore. She understood.

"Okay." Wu Qing patted Helian Han's shoulder gently, "Tell the truth..."

"What?" Helian Han's voice was nasal and alert.

Wu Qing bit the inside of her lip and asked, "Did you—did you rub your snot all over my clothes?"

Helian Han sniffed and chuckled, which was rare. He looked a bit silly, with a strong nasal tone and a bit of hoarse bass.

What should I do? This sound is so beautiful!
