After playing, all the clothes on Lingxi's body were wet, and there were water stains in the room.

Lingxidu put on clean clothes for Lin Shuqian, and let people in to clean the house.

The maids in the palace hung their heads one by one and did not dare to say anything. The mess of the room and the tragic situation of Lingxi's elder sister must have made the Empress Dowager angry.

The little maids tidied up the room cleanly, and Lingxi changed her clean clothes and came in to drive all the maids out.

See outsiders are gone, Lin Shu shallow has been the face of the board just Shu spread out.

She stretched and fell askew on the bed.

Just now she had a quarrel with Lingxi, which made her feel relaxed all over, and the discomfort in her heart dissipated.

Lingxi lights incense in the room and goes to the bed to straighten Lin Shuqian's body.

"Empress dowager, you are tired today. You'd better have a rest earlier."

Lin Shuqian nodded and got into the quilt.

Lingxi checked the room, and then opened the latch of the back window for the Empress Dowager.

……

Lin Shuqian was awakened by a nightmare when he slept till midnight.

She gasped and sat up, shaking her hand in front of her.

In the dream that kind of sticky feeling still stays in the hand, as if the hand is still standing blood.

"What's the matter?" A pair of warm hands hold Lin Shuqian's hand.

Lin Shuqian turns his head and sees Qi Mingxuan.

"Why are you here?"

Qi Mingxuan put a chair beside the bed, holding a book in his hand.

"I know you have nightmares at night. Come and watch you."

Qi Mingxuan sighed helplessly, Lin Shu shallow courage is not clear, but this time just want to do it yourself, how to persuade all useless.

Lin Shuqian lowered his head and felt guilty.

"I didn't have nightmares. I just woke up from thirst."

Qimingxuan helpless smile, he stood up to the table and poured a cup of tea.

Lin Shuqian held the cup, sipped the tea, and did not speak for a long time.

Qi Mingxuan did not say anything, and sat back in his chair to read.

After a while, Lin Shuqian whispered, "what are you looking at?"

"The book of war." Qi Mingxuan handed the book to Lin Shuqian.

Lin Shuqian read for a long time, she knew all the words in the book, but she couldn't understand them together.

Qi Mingxuan took back his hand and continued to read by himself.

After a while, Lin Shuqian opened his mouth carefully.

"Are you afraid when you kill?"

Qi Mingxuan put down the book in his hand and said seriously, "I never kill people."

Lin Shuqian:??? I believe in you.

"I'm a soldier. It's my mission to go to battle and kill the enemy. I only kill the enemy, not the enemy."

Qi Mingxuan reaches out his hand and holds Lin Shuqian's hand.

"If it wasn't for difengdiya to kill you, I would never have agreed to let you do it."

Qi Mingxuan also tangled before, he felt that Lin Shuqian's hand should not be stained with blood.

But Lin Shuqian was a very independent girl since childhood. As long as she made up her mind to do something, no one could persuade her to come back.

After a long time of persuasion, Qi Mingxuan figured out the problem.

If the world is really not peaceful, he can not always protect Lin Shuqian, Lin Shuqian wants to grow up, he has no reason to stop.

Qi Mingxuan holds Lin Shuqian's hand in his palm, and he looks very serious.

"Promise me, except for self-protection, don't start, don't let yourself become those people."

Lin Shuqian looked at Qi Mingxuan and nodded his head seriously.
