sick man

Su Hongrui's last hope was destroyed by these words.

He stared blankly at the happy smile on Li Chengyan's face, and said with trembling lips,

"why?"

Although the voice was soft, Li Chengyan heard it.But as if he hadn't heard of it, he only responded with a sneer.

"Count it up... We've been together for seven years... Seven years, Cheng Yan, are you really not even half-hearted towards me?"

Su Hongrui carefully and eagerly observed the expression on his face, trying to find a trace of warmth from those cold eyes.

Even a little bit is fine.

But Li Chengyan's expression didn't change at all, and the corners of his lips were even raised because of his question.

He finds it ridiculous...

Su Hongrui's heart suddenly turned cold. In Li Chengyan's view, the seven years of facing each other day and night turned out to be a funny thing.

"Do you think I should have it?"

This is the first time, when the two of them are alone, Lee Seung Yeon calls himself Zhen.As if in order to better appreciate Su Hongrui's distressed appearance, he took two steps closer, raised his clothes and squatted down, and met his eyes,

"Su Hongrui, maybe you have forgotten about Xue Xiaoyun?"

Xue Xiaoyun...

Su Hongrui felt a pain in his heart.He squeezed the thatch under his body, shook his head slowly but firmly.

He didn't forget, he always remembered the name.

Even though he couldn't remember Xue Xiaoyun's appearance, he still remembered the name.

Because he... is the person Lee Seung-yeon likes.

"Oh, it's hard for you to remember him."

A look of surprise flashed in Li Chengyan's eyes, but then he smiled again. While laughing, he stretched out his hand to clamp Su Hongrui's chin, pulling him close to his face.

"You asked me if I was sincere to you? Hahahaha... When you forced Xiao Yun to death seven years ago, my heart followed him! You, the chief culprit, still shamelessly asked me if I was sincere? Hahahaha... Funny! Really funny!"

As if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, Li Chengyan laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up. The hand holding Su Hongrui's chin tightened, and he used all his fingers to draw a few deep lines on his thin cheeks. bruising.

But he felt no pain.

Or, the crazily growing pain in my heart has overwhelmed my body's perception.

"Since you hate me to the bone, why did you visit General Zhenyuan's mansion so frequently, and why did you ask me to marry you?" Su Hongrui opened and closed his mouth with difficulty, and bright red blood dripped from the corners of his lips.But he didn't realize it at all, and still looked at Li Chengyan steadfastly, seeking an answer persistently.

"Can General Zhenyuan not understand such a simple matter?"

Li Chengyan let go of the hand that restrained him, and caressed the cracked wound on his cheek pretending to be fond of,

"At that time, I had just ascended the throne, surrounded by tigers and wolves, what was needed to calm them down?"

"And what is the best thing to deter fools who pretend to be kings?"

Soldiers.

With heavy troops in hand, who else would dare to be submissive and obedient?

"So... I thought..."

In the middle of speaking, Su Hongrui suddenly stopped.

"What do you think?" Li Chengyan asked with interest.

Su Hongrui refused to speak.

Under Li Chengyan's dissatisfied gaze, he got up with difficulty, and solemnly knelt down in front of him.

"Your Majesty, Su Hongrui cannot shirk his responsibility for Mr. Xue's death. I am willing to sacrifice my life to comfort his spirit in heaven and relieve the Emperor's hatred."

"But I have promised Su Jian that I will let you live." Li Chengyan said regretfully.

Su Hongrui looked at him without blinking, taking a panoramic view of the subtle changes on his face, he knew that he was tempted.

What he wants is not the life of the child at all, but...

own life.

"Your majesty, don't worry, even if I die, the deal between father and you will still count."

Su Hongrui smiled faintly at him, and continued,

"As soon as the child is born, I will kill myself immediately. Before that, the emperor only needs to pretend to forgive me. In this way, it will be regarded as letting me live. If I die in dystocia, my fate is hard to change, and I can't blame others."

"You don't regret it?"

"No regrets."

Su Hongrui closed his eyes silently, tears fell silently down his face, drop by drop, falling into Li Chengyan's dream.

Like a scalding rain, what splashes down is the sour taste that hurts the heart.

"Hong Rui, don't cry..."

Li Chengyan stretched out his hand nervously and awkwardly, trying to wipe the tears off Su Hongrui's face.The man has always been strong and resolute and never seems to have a soft side.But he actually cried in front of him, and cried so sadly...

"Don't cry... I don't blame you anymore, I won't punish you, Hong Rui, don't cry..."

The fingertips trembled, carefully avoiding those shocking scars, which were about to touch his face.

That face that he couldn't help but miss frequently many years ago.

"Hong Rui... After so long, are you finally willing to enter my dream?"

Li Chengyan endured the shame and misery in his heart, and cherished the outline of Su Hongrui's face.

He dare not touch it.

He was afraid that if he touched it, Su Hongrui would disappear into nothingness, and he would never show himself again.

But Su Hongrui kept crying.

Tears raged silently, trying to drown his heart.

"Hong Rui...don't cry...it's my fault, don't cry..."

His consolation was so futile, as if the hand he couldn't help stretching out after all passed through Su Hongrui's body.

da da da da...

The sound of deliberately lowered footsteps came from the ear, Li Chengyan maintained the posture of hugging, stared blankly at the empty embrace, and suddenly woke up.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a figure appeared in front of the gauze curtain, gently lifting the closed curtain and hanging it on the silver hook of the bed rail.

The incandescent sunlight rushed in, and fell on Li Chengyan one after another. He reached out to catch it, but he couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

"Your Majesty, you are awake."

Seeing him open his eyes, Yuan Xi hurried over and asked,

"Your Majesty is feeling better? Do you want to summon the imperial physician immediately?"

Li Chengyan glanced at him blankly, waved his hands and said,

"Go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yuan Xi retreated respectfully, leaving the bed curtain undrawn on the other side, fluttering slowly in the breeze.

Li Chengyan turned his head sideways, his eyes turned from the top of the bed to every corner of the hall.

Everywhere is sprinkled with sunlight sparsely or densely, and it should feel warm and harmonious when you look at it.

But he just felt cold.

That coldness, like a maggot attached to the bone, clung to him firmly, not letting go of any possible warmth.

"Liar! Mingyou is a big liar!"

The few packs of snacks Duan Mingyou bought from the market did not make Han Qingshu happy, and Han Qingshu was so wronged that he shed tears when he didn't see the butterfly he was thinking about.He waited for Duan Mingyou for a whole day, if Shen Chenbi hadn't coaxed him with food, he would have been reluctant to leave.But when he woke up, Duan Mingyou came back, but he didn't find the butterfly.

"Hey...don't be angry, I'll go out and look for it tomorrow, and I'll definitely get it back, okay?"

Duan Mingyou hugged the struggling Han Qingshu, coaxing him patiently.

"not good!"

Han Qingshu was lied to twice by him, refused to believe it again, and angrily left a few rows of teeth marks on the base of his neck.

"Qingshu, why did you bite again?"

Duan Mingyou patted his head dumbfounded.

"I didn't bite anyone, I bit the bad guys!"

Han Qingshu answered him confidently.

"Green tree... hiss!"

Duan Mingyou called him, and was bitten again.Although Han Qingshu was angry, he didn't kill him, but Duan Mingyou pretended to be in pain. Han Qingshu hesitantly let go of his mouth, looked up at him cautiously like a child who did something wrong, and said,

"Does it hurt?"

Duan Mingyou nodded quickly.

"it hurts!"

"Then... Shall I brag to you?" Han Qingshu regretted.

Duan Mingyou touched his face, and said in an inch,

"Just give me a kiss."

Han Qingshu blushed in embarrassment, turned his head to look around, and made sure that no one else was there, so he stood on tiptoe and leaned over to Duan Mingyou.

Duan Mingyou closed his eyes, waiting for the clumsy kiss to come to his door, but after waiting for a while, Han Qingshu didn't move.He opened his eyes wonderingly, and saw Han Qingshu leaning on his arms in a daze, looking over his shoulder, looking out of the window for a moment.

"Butterfly……"

He rubbed his eyes and suddenly smiled happily.

Duan Mingyou followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw a fluorescent guide butterfly on the edge of the flower pot on the window sill.

"Butterfly, Mingyou, butterfly!"

Han Qingshu anxiously pushed Duan Mingyou, beckoning him to catch him.

Duan Mingyou bowed his head and kissed him, and said with a smile,

"Don't worry, the butterfly recognizes the green tree, it came back by itself."

"really?"

Han Qingshu's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Ah."

Duan Mingyou nodded, took out a porcelain bottle from his waist, unplugged it and put it in Han Qingshu's hand, a strong floral fragrance escaped from the bottle in an instant, and soon wafted around the room.

The butterfly not far away also smelled the fragrance of the flower, its slender tentacles moved up and down, really flapped its wings and flew towards Han Qingshu, and finally landed firmly on the mouth of the bottle.

"eleven."

Duan Mingyou shouted towards the dimly lit corner.

Eleven came out at the sound and stood quietly behind Han Qingshu.

"Take good care of him."

"Yes."

Duan Mingyou let go of Han Qingshu who was completely attracted by the butterfly, took a few steps back, turned over and jumped down from the window sill.

"Brother, you are so slow!"

Sitting among the flowers, Mo Hongyu looked at the person floating down gracefully, and stuffed another piece of snack into his mouth.

Duan Mingyou walked to him and sat down, straightened his sleeves, and said,

"What's the matter?"

Mo Hongyu curled his mouth, put down his half-eaten snack, and said pitifully,

"Brother, you are so indifferent to others!"

Duan Mingyou looked at him expressionlessly.

"..."

Mo Hongyu felt that he was bored, and he also adjusted his expression, and was very serious,

"Senior brother, I have checked everything you have entrusted to me!"

"Oh, I know all about it."

Duan Ming responded calmly.

"Eh?!"

Mo Hongyu was so startled that he almost fell off his chair, "How do you know?"

"Zhan Qingmo runs much faster than you." Duan Mingyou pointedly said.

Mo Hongyu chuckled a few times. On the way back, he did slip away to do other things, so he was delayed for a day or two.But……

"Brother, how do you know Big Brother Zhan?"

"That's a long story."

Duan Mingyou obviously didn't want to say too much, so he casually perfunctory, stretched out his hand and said,

"Give me back the jade pendant."

Mo Hongyu knew that he couldn't pry his mouth open, so he reluctantly took out the carp jade pendant from his bosom and handed it back to him.

When Duan Mingyou took the jade pendant, Mo Hongyu's thoughts changed and he suddenly remembered something.

"Brother, don't you find it strange?"

"What's strange?" Duan Mingyou raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"I mean... don't you find it strange that the person I found with the jade pendant ended up in such a miserable end?"

Even though he was used to seeing blood, Mo Hongyu couldn't help feeling a little terrified when he thought of the breathing man in Qingxin Pavilion.
