When the medicine was ready, Su Nuo put it all into a delicate jar and covered it with a lid. Then, he took out the already prepared breakfast pot. Because it was always hot, when it was put into the box, it was still steaming hot and the appetizing fragrance all entered Beichen's nose, causing him to want to eat all of these things.

Of course, this was all due to Beichen's strong desire, and naturally, he couldn't say it out loud. He was a man who knew better than to push things too far. He was afraid that if he overdid it, he would end up leaving.

With everything packed, Bei Chen Han did not wait for Su Nuo to open her mouth and immediately had Shadow deliver the food to Lord Bei Chen. Then he gently said to Su Nuo: "Nuo'er, you've been busy for so long. Hurry up and eat, otherwise you'll be hungry."

"Yes." Su Nuo answered and then took out the few leftover dishes. She found a seat and sat down to eat. Bei Chen Han was also sitting across from her, the saliva in his stomach almost completely poking out. His gaze fell on the food on Su Nuo's plate, but it was clearly in his eyes that Nuo'er did not prepare his portion. He was sad, of course, but at least it gave him a chance to get a closer look at him. Bei Chen Han just stared at Su Nuo without blinking as he ate. The more he looked, the more he felt like he couldn't extricate himself.

On the other hand, Su Nuo completely ignored him. She naturally ate her food, no more, no less. Coincidentally, she finished all of it. Then, she stood up and prepared to leave. Beichen also stood up, looking at the clean plate with a look of pity. He had originally wanted to pick up the leftovers from Na'er's cooking, but no matter what, it was made by her.

Yes, he hadn't tasted Nore in a long time, just like how it was for him. It made him feel a strong desire. However, he could only suppress this desire. Bei Chen Han smiled bitterly, and quickly followed behind Su Nuo.

Bei Chen Han wanted to speak, but when he saw the expression on Su Nuo's face, especially her pair of silent eyes, he could not remember a single word. It was just that behind Su Nuo, he could only foolishly look at Su Nuo.

The flowers in the imperial garden had all bloomed just now, just like a naughty child revealing only a slight head. There was also a faintly discernible smile blooming in the corner.

The sunlight slanted down and landed on the flower. When it landed on Su Nuo's face, she smiled faintly. There was no desire in her eyes, only a faint smile.

In that moment, Bei Chen Han seemed to have an instinct, he grabbed Su Nuo, as though if he didn't, his Na'er would fly away like this to that beautiful place, a place that a person full of blood like him would never be able to go to. However, when he realized it himself, he shrank back and hurriedly said, "Sorry, Na'er, I … I didn't do it on purpose." He was just … just scared to watch as his Na'er left him, and yet there was nothing he could do.

He couldn't do this, but he was Beichen. He could repent to his daughter and ask for her forgiveness, but he couldn't just give up his daughter and watch her leave. He definitely couldn't!

Su Nuo turned her head, her face still carrying that faint smile. However, Bei Chen Han could clearly see that his Na'er did not see him, and his figure was nowhere to be seen in her eyes. His heart was in severe pain, but he still couldn't give up.

Because if he gave up, it was true — nothing remained.

However, no matter how slow he was, time seemed to slip away like sand from between Beichen's tightly clenched fists. No matter how slow he was, he could not slow down.

Night! As the lanterns lit up, the entire palace was enveloped in a layer of hazy beauty.

Su Nuo walked into the room and prepared to sleep. Bei Chen Han also followed her, but he quickly explained, "Nore, I'm just watching from the side. I can't do anything."

There was no trace of fear on Su Nuo's face, not even a single ripple.

Bei Chen Han looked carefully at Su Nuo's face, hoping to see something on her face, but unfortunately, there was nothing. Bei Chen Han hesitated for a moment before saying: "Nuo'er, then, then I'll be here." Beichen pointed to the place near the table that he was standing.

"Yes." He went to bed and blew out the candle. In an instant, the entire room was engulfed in darkness. Beichen did not dare to move, as he was afraid that if he did not do that one action properly, he would be displeased, and his whole body would go stiff.

Deep in the night.

Bei Chenghan finally made a slight movement, but even that slight movement still made a sound, especially in this incredibly quiet room. Bei Chenhan stopped what he was doing, nervously listening for any sound coming from him. After confirming that nothing was amiss, he got up carefully and walked over to the bed.

On the bed, Su Nuo's face was similar to her face in the daytime. Although she could not see it clearly under the dim moonlight, it was still as faint as before.

Bei Chen Han's eyes were filled with affection, he extended his hand, wanting to touch Su Nuo, but just as his fingertips were about to touch Su Nuo's face, Su Nuo turned her body, her back to Bei Chen Han. His hand hovered in the air, as if frozen.

Bei Chen Han looked at Su Nuo's back, his heart was filled with sorrow, but in the end he retracted his hand.

Bei Chen Han did not sleep the whole night, and when Su Nuo got up, Bei Chen Han was looking at her like he was something. That look was a bit awkward, but Su Nuo seemed to be unaware, and continued putting on her clothes.

Today was a lot earlier than usual.

In the carriage, Bei Chen Han was sitting opposite Su Nuo. Bei Chen Han looked at him naked, as though he wanted to carve Su Nuo deeply into his memory. He wouldn't forget a single detail.

However, no matter how far the road was, there was still an end to it. Furthermore, the distance between the city and the city was extremely short.

In the courtyard.

Seeing Bei Chen Han get out of the carriage, Situ Ai snorted coldly, "I thought you ran away right before the battle, but if it was someone like you, Bei Chen Han, who has many tricks up his sleeve, I wouldn't be surprised." His tone was filled with ridicule.

The scholar hadn't left yet. Seeing that it was the man who had made him unhappy with Situ Ai that day, although this time he still didn't understand, he consciously stopped talking.

Bei Chenghan did not reply and automatically ignored Situ Ai.

Su Nuo got off the carriage, and Bei Chen Han naturally reached out his hand, afraid that he would throw Su Nuo, but Su Nuo just naturally got off the carriage, and passed Bei Chen Han. Seeing the scholar, she nodded politely and smiled at him.

Bei Chenghan's posture paused for a split-second, but when he turned around, there was a bitterness that no one could see.

Situ Ai had scheduled the operation for two hours later. He wanted to chase the scholar away, but this time his face was red and he refused to leave. He insisted on staying to help.

From the beginning, Beichen didn't say a single word, he just watched from not too far away as Su Nuo brewed some tea for the Duke of Northern Chen, then he smiled. The morning light shone down, and it was especially beautiful. Bei Chen Han watched in a daze, only to realise that his Nuo'er was actually this beautiful. Even using all the words in the world, he could not express any of it, but it was a pity that he could not see it anymore.

"You'll see me soon." Su Nuo leaned on the Duke's leg and said softly.

For a moment, Lord Beichen held onto Su Nuo's hand with force, but it disappeared immediately, as if it was an illusion, "En."

Within the room.

Bei Chen Han and Duke Bei Chen were lying on two separate beds, with Situ Ai standing beside him. Everyone else had been invited out. Situ Ai drugged Beichen and worriedly asked, "Big brother Jue, does it hurt?" Duke Bei Chen shook his head. Situ Ai uncertainly checked again to make sure there were no problems before he said: "Big brother Jue, I'll start now." The Duke of Beichen nodded.

The first to make the cut was naturally Bei Chen Han's, the sharp knife cut open his tender skin, and in that moment, Bei Chen Han sucked in a breath of cold air. Situ Ai coldly snorted: "Bei Chen Han, you can't bear such little pain, are you even a man?" Naturally, Situ Ai wouldn't be so kind as to give him a anesthetic. All of the pain he felt was reflected in his clear mind.

Bei Chen Han just said coldly: "Do your job, Situ Ai." After that, he didn't speak again. Even if Situ Ai had maliciously hurt him, he just allowed the cold sweat to flow freely without making a single sound.

Although this operation wasn't difficult for Situ Ai, it still took a long time and took him almost a whole day. He knew that it would take him a whole day to recover in the evening. The moment Situ Ai opened the door, Yan Qingcheng hastily ran over to him and asked, "Xiao Ai, how is the Third Marquis?"

"It's going smoothly. We'll be able to take it apart in three days." Situ Ai wiped the sweat off his face. Yan Qingcheng was so happy that her face turned red. Situ Ai suddenly looked at Su Nuo. He saw that Su Nuo didn't have the intention to come over and ask about her. He only calmly walked past her, but the moment he completely walked past her, he turned around, smiled at her, nodded his head, and entered.

"Sister Yan, was she like this before?" This was the first time that Situ Ai had asked about Su Nuo. Back then when she saw her beloved elder brother, who was covered in blood, pulling her elder brother back from the hell of death with great difficulty, she found out that the Third Marquis, who was the most popular in the world, was infatuated with her more than anyone else, and that woman's name was Su Nuo. At that time, besides hating this person called Su Nuo, he also hated her. Even in his dreams, he wished that he could rip apart Su Nuo alive. But now, Situ Ai recalled that she had actually lived with this woman for such a long time, and even ate the food she cooked every day.

Yan Qingcheng was stunned for a moment before looking at Su Nuo's back as she walked in. Her gaze was somewhat distant as she spoke, "The first time I met her, I wanted nothing more than to kill her immediately like you did."

Situ Ai was a bit surprised. He had never thought that Yan Qingcheng would have the same thoughts as him. Yan Qingcheng seemed to have returned to the day when she first saw Su Nuo because of her family's Third Marquis.

"The first time I saw her, she was lying on the ground as if she was dead. At that time, you wouldn't be able to imagine how scared the Third Marquis was when he saw her like this. I have never seen such an expression on the Third Marquis' face before."

The scenes from that time had been somewhat chaotic, but they had mostly been filled with cold and hatred that had been planted in her mind.

"But it was the Third Marquis who loved her like this. Su Nuo never knew because at that time, there was only Bei Chen Han in her eyes." Saying this, Yan Qingcheng smiled as if she was mocking him, "Little Ai, you really can't imagine how much Su Nuo loved Bei Chen Han at that time, so much that —" Saying this, Yan Qingcheng stopped, because even she didn't know how to describe the foolish Su Nuo at that time.
