Su Nuo walked forward. Her footsteps were so light, so light that it seemed as if she was about to disappear. Only Su Nuo knew that it was a kind of deep fear.

In the end, he walked to the bedside and stood in front of that person.

The medicine was placed on top of the wooden cabinet. However, when the weight in his hand disappeared, his fingertip couldn't help but tremble and the blood on his face started to drain bit by bit.

Yan Qingcheng took a deep look at the interior before extending her hand to close the door. After that, she stood there silently.

Under the clear and cold light, there was a trace of coldness, as if the entire sky was covered with a layer of frost. Even on such a golden autumn day.

His fingertips gently caressed the Duke of Northern Chen's face, slowly descending, from his dark eyes to his nose to his pretty lips.

All of his movements stopped, and the hand that was hovering over the Duke's face tightened. Even his joints were clearly visible; he was exerting so much force.

Only, that trembling and slender body completely betrayed Su Nuo's feelings, looking at the Duke of Beichen's pair of eyes, he felt a sense of sorrow and guilt: "Third Marquis," just as he shouted out those words, his tears fell down uncontrollably, falling onto the Duke of Beichen's face, sliding down his cheeks, and then falling off as if he had been cut off.

"Third Marquis." Su Nuo repeated, as if all the other words had disappeared. There was no description, no color, only this simple form of address, this pale cry.

"Pa ~ ~ ~"

Another crystal tear fell on the face of the Duke of Beichen. That round water droplet reflected Su Nuo's sad face. It was so obvious.

If they hadn't met that year, if that delicate little boy had hugged her, if she could have kept this person out of her world, if, if time could reverse, if, if, if — —

If there was still a chance, she really wanted to start again. She would choose to never meet such a young man with rosy lips and white teeth. She would choose to be ruthless and not have a shred of warmth from him.

As long as this person had not fallen in love with her, and had not given up so much for her, as long as this person could wake up, as long as this person was fine, as long as he was fine.

Su Nuo's hands were tightly grasping the Beichang Jue's sleeves, tightly, tightly, as if everything was gone, for the sake of capturing the man in front of her, it was all he could do.

The Duke of Bei Chen's hand suddenly moved a little. Su Nuo did not notice, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Duke of Bei Chen's face.

Tears once again fell on the Duke's face, and as if he had sensed something, his pale face also twitched slightly. At this moment, Su Nuo could see it clearly, his entire body was lifted up, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, yet he seemed to have lost his speech, unable to say a single word. Instead, his tears once again fell on the Duke's eyelids, flowing down his face, forming an illusion, as if the Duke was crying, and not Su Nuo, or perhaps, it was the tears of both of them.

The Duke of Beichen slowly opened his eyes, they were so slow, as if he had experienced hundreds of years of time. The moment he saw Su Nuo, his eyes were filled with deep gentleness, but that gentleness flashed too far, and was replaced with a teasing teasing smile: "Xiao Nuo, so you miss me so much, I want to cry."

Su Nuo looked at the Duke of Beichen, and then threw herself at him, hugging him, laughing and crying at the same time, her tears falling even more crazily.

Lord Beichen froze, at an angle that Su Nuo could not see, the expression on his face was so tender that it seemed as if it was going to melt into spring water. His injured and tightly bandaged hands slowly raised it up, hugging Su Nuo, just as naughtily as before, he whispered into her ear, "Little Nuo, you are so passionate, I will be in a difficult situation!"

Su Nuo did not hear him at all, and hugged the Duke of Bei Chen tightly, as if he was the only one left in her whole world.

Yan Qingcheng heard Duke Bei Chen's voice and immediately opened the door. Her originally unsightly face was so joyful that it was hard to predict what would happen when she saw the opened eyes of the Duke of Bei Chen. Even her eyes were sparkling, but when she saw Su Nuo, her expression became complicated.

Su Nuo was still crying and laughing, and did not notice that because of her excitement just now, when she hugged him, his wounds were already open, and blood was oozing out. But there was no change on the Duke's face, only a gentle smile, like a pampered lover.

A faint smell of blood slowly filled the air between the two of them. Su Nuo smelled it, and when she looked down, she saw the bright red wounds of the Duke of Beichen. She instantly stood up and was at a loss of what to do.

She didn't know, she was scared, she was really scared, it was as if this person who finally woke up with great difficulty would leave her again. She had never felt like this person was so weak, like a doll.

Tears were rolling down his cheeks, and even his face had turned pale.

The Duke of Beichen held the hand of Su Nuo in his own, his face still carrying the same faint smile, that kind of indecent look, as if he was a thick-skinned street hooligan: "Little Nuo, have you already been secretly in love with me for a long time, that's why you cried when you saw me bleed."

"Sorry, sorry." Su Nuo looked at the slowly spreading wound, and only kept crying as she repeated the words. Suddenly, Su Nuo seemed to recall something. "I'll find an imperial physician for you. I'll go find one right away."

The Duke of Beichen held onto Su Nuo, "Little Nuo, no need to go." But due to the excessive force, the wound immediately opened up, and even the tearing sound could be clearly heard in the quiet room.

Su Nuo no longer dared to move. She was like a frightened child. Her lips trembled as she said, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere."

Lord Beichen smiled, his smile was still very mocking, but it was just that there were too many emotions inside, like a child who finally got his candy, he was very happy, simple happiness and satisfaction.

"Little Nuo, I'm in pain." The Duke of Beicheng spoke rather childishly, but in reality, he looked more like a scoundrel than anything else.

Su Nuo quickly asked, "Where does it hurt?"

The Duke of Beichen tilted his handsome face up, pouting as he pointed to his own mouth, "Here."

Su Nuo instinctively stretched out her hand to help him, but the next moment, she understood the meaning behind the words' Duke of Northern Chen '.

When she thought of the childish Duke of Northern Chen's eyes, which were filled with his deep love for her, the initial nervousness she felt lessened. The words that Yan Qingcheng had said to her last night surfaced in her mind.

She had almost forgotten that this person loved her, deeply, deeply loved her! It was also because of this love that he kept giving it to her until now. Because she almost died, because she suffered such heavy injuries and was infected by the Gu worm. She will continue to suffer such inhuman crying for the rest of her life.

She suddenly wanted to say, stop loving her, stop loving her, she wasn't worth it, she really wasn't worth it, for the sake of a lowly slave girl like her, for the sake of a selfish slave girl like her, she really — really wasn't worth it!

The words reached his lips, but when Su Nuo saw this, the Duke of Beichen couldn't say anything. It was as if his throat had been pinched, and he lost his voice, unable to utter a single word.

Actually, she also knew about this kind of love, because she also loved her master that much. That kind of love, even if she were to live her entire life, she would never forget it.

So tell her what to say, tell the man in front of her not to love her anymore, because she will never love him.

Never.

She didn't know how cruel such an answer would be, or how much salvation it would be. Thus, she didn't know how she should explain it.

However, no matter what it was, the man in front of him would suffer.

And this person had just escaped from death and had just woken up. It was only because she was a slave, so no matter what, she could not say it. She could not bear to see this person who had just opened his eyes and put on this kind of appearance again.

She couldn't bear it.

Su Nuo just smiled and bent down, and made a light kiss on his forehead.

Therefore, would she be able to make this person feel better, as long as she could make him feel better?

Or perhaps — a more cruel way of dealing with it!

Lord Bei Chen paused, and then a smile appeared on his face. He looked at Su Nuo and said, "Our family's Xiao Nuo really has loved me for a long time. Do you want to give up on the dark and come into my arms?"

Su Nuo only laughed softly, looking at the Duke of Northern Chen, she didn't care at all what this person was talking about, but at this moment, it was really good to be able to see his smile and hear his words.

That's great!

But Su Nuo also felt it. From the start, there was a strange feeling spreading through her body. It was a very strange feeling, she had never felt it before, but she did not care about it.

Outside the palace, a horse carriage came down from some distance away. Housekeeper Zhou quickly jumped off the carriage and ran inside. Two guards stopped him.

Housekeeper Zhou was relatively calm, only he knew how anxious he was right now. Housekeeper Zhou asked a guard: "Excuse me, did Second Prince Fu Jin enter the palace?"

"Yes." The guard's memory was still fresh, so he replied immediately.

Hearing this reply, Housekeeper Zhou was on the verge of tears. This female slave was not in a good mood at all, she had really come to the palace. He took out a signboard and showed it to the guard, who said: "So it's Second Prince's Housekeeper Zhou. Let's go in."

Housekeeper Zhou only nodded at them in a hurry, then ran all the way to the main hall.

This palace was huge, and it was fortunate that Housekeeper Zhou had accompanied Bei Chen Han out of the palace. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to find Bei Chen Han.
