Outside, Beichen stood there with no expression on his face: "Speak."
Housekeeper Zhou lowered his head: "My lord, there's a message from the palace saying that the third prince might not be able to hold on any longer."
Bei Chenghan's gaze immediately fell on Housekeeper Zhou. He almost lost his balance from the look. Then, he heard Bei Chenghan say in a cold voice: "He's going to die." It was cold and somewhat disdainful.
Housekeeper Zhou nodded and added, "Right now, the emperor's standing guard over the Third Marquis. A group of ministers and imperial physicians are waiting outside, not a single one is missing."
Beichen harrumphed coldly, "It's best if he died."
The Zhou family suddenly didn't know what to answer. The royal brothers had always killed each other, he knew that. However, people like them, even in public, could tell that something was wrong. It was rare.
Beichen said to Steward Zhou, "Prepare some things for this king. This king is going to enter the palace." When he said that last word, the corner of his mouth curled up.
Housekeeper Zhou accepted the order and turned to leave, but Bei Chen Han suddenly said: "You're not allowed to say a word about this to Na'er, do you understand?" That voice was even colder than the order.
"Yes." Housekeeper Zhou wiped off his cold sweat and left.
Bei Chen Han returned to the house and Su Nuo saw it. She stood up to help Bei Chen Han rest. Beichen saw this and said, "Don't move."
Su Nuo looked at him with a troubled expression, saying, "Master, I will accompany you to rest."
Bei Chen Han came over and helped Su Nuo to put her hands under the blanket: "I still have things to do so I'll be taking a good rest."
Su Nuo was somewhat surprised, but she swallowed her words.
Bei Chenhan continued, "Xiao'er, I don't know when I'll be back, but —" His tone turned cold. "When I'm not around, you can't go anywhere. You can't see anyone." Pausing for a moment, he continued, "You are not allowed to leave this room even half a step, do you understand?"
Su Nuo was stunned. She did not expect Bei Chen Han to say this, but she still complied obediently.
Seeing Su Nuo nod, Bei Chen Han finally had a smile on his face. He reached out his hand to touch Su Nuo's face and said: "Nore, in the future no one will bother us anymore. As long as you behave, I will definitely treat you well, okay?"
Su Nuo felt that something was wrong, but still agreed. She felt that her master had always been right.
Actually, even if her master was wrong, it didn't matter. In her eyes, no matter how wrong her master was, it didn't matter. It was all for reasons that could be forgiven.
Su Nuo smiled. Although her face was pale from injury, under the yellow halo, her face was gentle, quiet and beautiful, and she said to Bei Chen Han: "Master, I will definitely listen to my master and not make him angry." Her appearance was extremely obedient, perhaps even the entire world would not be able to find such an obedient pet.
Absolutely not.
"My Na'er is really obedient. As long as she is obedient, it will be fine as long as she listens to me alone." Beichen was very satisfied.
Very quickly, Housekeeper Zhou came, but he did not come in. He was just waiting at a place that Bei Chen Han could see. Bei Chen Han saw him and said a few words to Su Nuo, then stood up and left.
In fact, the room was very quiet when she was the only one with her master, it wasn't too lively at all. Su Nuo felt that it was a little too quiet as she looked at the flickering candle light, but this feeling of being too quiet gave her a strange feeling, like she was uneasy, like she wasn't, like she was a person sleepily walking in the dark, basically making her scared.
When Qian came in to wait for her to rest, her small face was covered in tears. Seeing this, Su Nuo's heart felt warm and painful.
After serving Xiao Qian, Su Nuo took her hand and said, "Fu Jin, why are you so unconcerned about yourself? Why are you always so injured?" And then the tears came again.
Su Nuo wanted to say that it wasn't on purpose that she was injured, but she had accidentally run into a big tiger, but if a small child like Little Qian didn't scare her to death by telling her that it was because she had met a big tiger, she would have just smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'll be fine very soon." He thought for a moment before adding, "Really, that imperial physician said it's very fast."
Little Qian only raised his head to glance at her, not saying a word. With that glance, Su Nuo knew that this child didn't believe her at all.
However, Su Nuo had never been a person who could speak like that. She tried her best to avoid trying to comfort Little Qian, but even after Little Qian left, she was still unable to come up with a better idea.
When Little Qian closed the door and left, Su Nuo couldn't help but sigh. However, after she did, that indescribable feeling became even more intense, as if she was about to jump out alive from her chest.
Su Nuo shook her head in an attempt to dispel this feeling. Just as she was about to lie down and sleep, the door was suddenly pushed open. Su Nuo was startled, thinking it was Little Qian, but when she saw Yan Qingcheng, she couldn't help but be stunned.
She had seen this incredibly beautiful girl before, always staying by the Third Marquis' side. She should be his concubine.
Yan Qingcheng's countenance was extremely unsightly, but she also seemed to be in a rush. She walked over and pulled Su Nuo's hand, "Follow me."
Su Nuo was dumbfounded. When she thought of Bei Chen Han's words, she immediately struggled, not caring about the fact that the wound was open: "That, no, I can't leave."
Yan Qingcheng suddenly turned her head and looked at Su Nuo as if she was looking at a ghost, "You can't, why can't you leave?" It was as though as long as she couldn't give a reasonable explanation, Yan Qingcheng would immediately eat her up.
Su Nuo did not understand why this person who had nothing to do with her would suddenly treat her so viciously. She was a female slave, so she would never retort loudly. She tried her best to explain, "Master said that I can't leave, so, I can't leave —"
Crack. Before Su Nuo could finish her words, Yan Qingcheng's palm viciously slammed down. That slap was truly ruthless and anxious, as if the hatred that she had suppressed for thousands of years all exploded out in an instant.
"Master, master, you only have that damned Beichen Han in your eyes, do you know that the Prince is about to die, he is about to die, do you know that?" Yan Qingcheng cried out, her tears streaming down as she looked at Su Nuo with a heart wrenching expression.
Su Nuo was stunned. Her thoughts couldn't keep up with Yan Qingcheng. "Lady, I don't understand what you're saying."
"Of course you don't know, of course you don't know. Your highness would rather die than protect you, you only have Bei Chen Han in your heart, how would you know that? How would you know?" At the end, his voice was filled with sharpness.
Su Nuo only felt that the uneasiness in her heart had finally come true. She turned to Yan Qingcheng and asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"
Yan Qingcheng looked at Su Nuo, her ridicule in her eyes growing even stronger. "If you want to know, I'll tell you everything. I'll tell you everything." Just because you said you wanted to see the outside world, he did not hesitate to spend three years to draw a painting for you as a present. But, you probably don't know, in order to not let that damned Bei Chen Han discover you, the Prince of Painting has punished you, and is currently in your small house. "
Su Nuo opened her eyes wide. Did that person leave for three years just because of a single sentence from her, and not to find a beauty outside?
But you, you only know how to keep your master by your side, even if you are tortured like a dog, but you don't care, the prince cares, he cares, he came back to see you, he ended up seeing you lying on the ground with wounds all over, do you know how bad he looked at that time, I accompanied him for three whole years and never saw him look so scared, as if the whole world was going to collapse, but do you know, to save you, he doesn't care about the serious internal injuries on his body, he can't help but give you a bottle of holy medicine. Yan Qingcheng looked at Su Nuo and suddenly sneered, "But you, what did you leave for the Prince? What did you leave for him, was to spend all day with that damned Beichen Han. At that time, the Prince was just outside, you know, did you know, did you know, that he just took the medicine and stood outside watching you have sex with someone else?" As Yan Qingcheng spoke to this point, she was unable to continue speaking. Her tears had already crazily flowed all over her face.
Su Nuo looked at Yan Qingcheng in disbelief, as if she was talking about a fantasy story. At the same time, it was as if someone was joking with her. Thus, she only opened her mouth and said, "You, you must have made a mistake!"
Slap! Yan Qingcheng's eyes were bloodshot as she slapped him with her palms, "I made a mistake, I made a mistake! Su Nuo, are you still human after all, other than that cold-faced Bei Chenhan, who else is there in your eyes? For him, you would rather blind your own eyes, yes, your eyes are blind, but don't you know that when the Prince hugged you, and heard that you voluntarily blinded his eyes, he spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
Su Nuo felt that everything that had happened now was not real. It was very unreal, just like back then when she had clearly felt that the one holding her was her master. How could it have become that person?
Yan Qingcheng's gaze became even more sinister as she looked at Su Nuo, "Su Nuo, you said that you've blinded your own eyes, so what's there to regret? Isn't this what you wanted?
Su Nuo didn't know what to say. At that time, she had indeed regretted it, but this matter shouldn't have been known by anyone. She had never told anyone. There wasn't any!
When you fell on the ground in regret, the prince was in the room. You said, the prince loves you so much, how could he not fulfill your request, how could he not satisfy your request? But you know, because of your ridiculous request, how much of a price the prince has to pay for this, do you know? Yan Qingcheng looked straight at Su Nuo, and then firmly said, "Su Nuo, you don't know anything. You don't know that in order to cure your eyes, the Prince charged into Chu with a Shadow Night, and stole back the Jade Bead, a single Jade Bead, and the Prince was heavily injured, and he even used his blood to lure the bugs sleeping in the Jade Bead. You don't know how painful it will be for a Gu like this, but that night, he fed the Jade Bead to you. Ten Shadow's lives, with a body full of grievous wounds, a poison that cannot be cured, in exchange for your slap. " Yan Qingcheng suddenly let go of Su Nuo in disappointment. She no longer held onto Su Nuo, nor looked at her.
