Even if it means death, I must escape

  He frowned, hesitated and said faintly, "What's with your hair!"

  The corners of his mouth slightly raised, I let out a sigh of relief, "So be it!"

  He didn't say another word, slowly cutting open the gauze all over my body. I closed my eyes as he carefully applied medicine to my wounds, gently rubbing it in. It wasn't until a long time later that he finally let out a deep breath. His face was covered in sweat.

  I don't know when he left, but after two sleepless nights of such torture, I finally closed my eyes and in a daze, I actually heard the sound of a woman crying. It came in waves, very strange!

  A woman in white stood before my bed, her voice hoarse as she said, "With a fate so bitter, why must you live on? I'll take you away! Follow me!" Her hands slowly reached out to me, and they seemed warm. With great difficulty, I lifted my own hands and grasped hers, and with one swift motion, she pulled me into her embrace, saying tenderly, "Let's go, Cold Plum! Leave this place with me!" Her voice was filled with an enchanting power.

  I smiled calmly and didn't say a word for a long time before finally uttering a single "Good!"

  She got my nod, then took me and flew into the sky, flying to the ninth heaven. Through the cold tiles, I saw my pale face, no longer with any vitality! The corners of her mouth, however, had a faint smile! In the end, she couldn't help it! Danju looked at me for a while, cried for a bit, then pushed open the door, seeing me like this, and covered her mouth, staring at me silently. Without making a sound. For some reason, when we reached the sky, she could no longer pull me along, and the two of us just hung there in mid-air!

  After a while, Danju took out the white silk and hung it on the gate of Lengxiang Garden. Is it me? I smiled faintly, is it me, finally dead? The woman sighed long and said faintly, "Let's go together! Hanmei! I know you're bitter in your heart! Are you coming with me?"

  I smiled faintly and nodded slightly. In an instant, she somehow summoned the strength to slowly lift me up, I only felt a weight on my feet, my legs seemed to be caught by something, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape!

  She paused for a moment, and said calmly, "We can't ascend to heaven! Forget it! Let's just enter the earth!" After saying that, she took me with her and plunged downwards, heading towards the dark underground.

  One leg on top of another, we two still cannot escape! I asked in puzzlement, "Why can't we ascend to heaven or enter the earth?"

  She let out a faint sigh and said in a hoarse voice, "The reason is unknown! After seven days, I will leave my soul, and the two of us will wait until the seventh day to go!" I gladly agreed and lay quietly in her arms. Her embrace was like that of a mother. When I was young, I used to lie in my mother's arms like this, now, with such warmth, I didn't want to leave again!

  She still takes me up into the sky, standing above the Cold Fragrance Garden, quietly looking down.

  The ghost month has arrived, no longer dressed as a palace servant, with that lonely back carrying the ghost knife, kneeling far away in front of my spirit! Danju cried very sadly, fainting several times. Long Lieya came again, standing in front of my bed, looking at me carefully and sighing helplessly. Long Nuyue also came, standing by the bed and shaking me hard. How did he know that I was watching him from the sky?

  The ghost month said something beside him, he raised his head and looked in the direction of us two! The woman's body trembled. She was afraid! She feared him! A cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips, he drew out the thunderbolt from his waist and shouted loudly, "No matter where you are! Come back to me! Otherwise, I will kill Yu Feng! Kill Yun Ya! Kill Gui Yue! Kill all the people you care about!" The sword energy was so frightening!

  The corners of his mouth were tinged with a cold smile. So, I was gone, and he was also concerned, huh? The woman whispered, "He loves you very much!"

  "What's it to me?" I said coldly. "I hate him! Even if I die, I want to escape from him!"

  "He thundered, 'No matter who you are! If you dare to take her away, I'll chop your soul into pieces and scatter them so that you won't have a chance to reincarnate as human!' As he spoke, he raised his Shocking Thunderbolt towards the sky, and the air began to rumble. The woman's body started to tremble."

  I'm completely stunned! Only today did I realize why his sword is called Shocking Thunder! Because of his sword, he can actually summon heavenly thunder!

  I shielded the woman and shouted loudly, "Don't be afraid! I'm here! Even if our souls were to scatter, mine would scatter first!"

  The woman didn't speak, only letting out a long sigh. Gui Yue pointed his ghostly knife at Jing Lei's shocking thunder and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty! Don't! Miss is currently protecting the female soul! Shocking Thunder can only chop Miss first!"

  He saw me! I was startled. I forgot that Guī Yuè was the national teacher of Jiāng Guó before becoming a palace person!

  "What then! What then! Are you just going to let them leave like that?! Ye Hanmei! Come back here! Can you hear me?!" The Thunder Sword's tip crackled with electricity, and with a horizontal slash, the phoenix tree in front of the house was cut down to the ground!

  I smiled calmly, "I've won! After the seventh day of mourning is over, let's part ways like this!" I don't want to be heartbroken anymore, I don't want to suffer anymore! I'm greedy for the warmth on her body!

  "Bring it on! Bring it on! No matter what method! I want her alive!"

  He said he, who is it? Is it the person I think of? The two of us floated in mid-air, exchanging opinions in a low voice. A small sedan chair came hastily, Long Yunya's face was pale, struggling to stand up, seeing me lying down, so lifeless, almost fainting on the ground!

  After a while, he drew out the long sword from his waist and let out a loud roar towards the sky. As he roared, Long Lie also followed suit and drew his sword, and the three men's sword energy wove the sky into an invisible web.

  "Did you see that? Did you hear it? With the dragon's aura protecting the sky, I reckon you won't be able to escape! Guiyue! Cast your spell quickly!" The woman began to struggle and breathe rapidly, but I was at a loss for what to do.

  Guī Yuè responded with a nod, holding the ghostly blade horizontally and cutting his own wrist. He dipped his finger in blood and smeared it on the large lock at my ankle. Quickly drawing talismans, my feet suddenly felt as heavy as a thousand catties. I grabbed onto the woman tightly and shouted, "Hold me! I don't want to go back!"

  She shook her head, "He wouldn't have used the Soul Lock to lock you up if he wasn't afraid that one day you'd lose your soul. Even with a thousand evil spirits, they wouldn't be able to take you away! Hanmei! Go back!" As soon as she finished speaking, she let go of my hand, and I felt like my legs were weighed down by thousands of pounds, and I fell to the ground with a thud. Ah! I shrieked. No! Don't!

  Constant panting, Gui Yue loudly shouted, "Wake up! Your Majesty! Prince! It's enough!"

  Long Nu's lips curled up with a cruel smile, yet he still held the shocking thunder.

  Kui Yue slowly raised his ghostly sword, pointing it directly at the female spirit's direction! I loudly shouted, "Kui Yue! Don't! Let her go!"

  The ghostly moon is startled, the ghostly sword is raised but not raised, sheathed but not sheathed!

  Long Nu's face was cold and stern as he said, "I won't forgive her!" He then loudly roared at Gui Yue, "What are you waiting for? Take action now!"

  "I shouted loudly, 'I'll say it again, let her go! She won't come back again!'"

  The corners of his mouth slightly twitched, Long Yunya said faintly, "I think we can't take this kind of risk!" After that, he loudly shouted, "Guī Yuè! Why haven't you taken action yet?"

  In the sky, the female soul shrunk her body and trembled all over! Thinking of the warmth in her arms just now, that impulsive desire to follow her still exists today! She must be a woman with a similar fate as mine! "Gui Yue! Don't you even listen to my words? I said, put down your ghost knife!"

  Guī Yuè lowered his head, and in a hoarse voice said, "The king is right, I cannot take this risk!" After speaking, he raised the ghost knife in his hand and slashed horizontally at the sky!

  In the sky, gently floating down many snow-white crystal powder. Faintly, sparkling brightly, just like snowfall. My tears, suddenly fell! It was I who wronged her after all!

  He and several others saw that white crystal powder, then they retracted their sword energy. Long Nuyue's eyes were burning with anger as he sheathed his sword and strode towards me in large strides.

  "Do you want to die? Do you want to die?" he bellowed loudly, "I won't let you! No matter how hard it is for you to live, I won't let you die!"

  Long Lieya supported Yun Ya and walked over slowly, then softly and pitifully said, "To be alive is to win!"

  A faint smile appeared at the corner of my lips, thinking that it would be a long time before I met him again, at least until my wounds healed a bit, but we ended up meeting like this!

  Long Nu furrowed his brow and stared at me coldly, "Liang Nu, take Yun Nu back! His injury hasn't fully recovered yet to be running around everywhere!"

  Long Lieya looked at me for a moment, then glanced at Long Yunya, and after a long while, he let out a deep sigh. "Your Majesty! You've also seen the situation today! This time, Her Highness can return to her soul as you wish, but what about next time? And the time after that? Treating patients like this is indeed the most headache-inducing! Without the will to live, knowing one's own condition is already good enough. Even walking would be difficult for them! It's better to let the two of them meet and talk, with their bodies in such a state, they probably can't do anything that goes against propriety!"

  Long Yunya's eyes were fixed on him with hatred, I thought he was about to get angry and beat Long Yunya three miles away, beating him until he spat blood, beating him to death! But he didn't! Unexpectedly, he nodded instead!

  He lowered his eyelids, silent and still, slightly nodding to indicate that the two of them should follow him out. The door closed with a bang. Yun Ya sat down beside my bed, his face was very pale, but his lips had a bright red color. His eyes shone brightly, fixedly staring at me. After a while, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "How are you? Han Mei? Is your body in a lot of pain?"

  Faintly, I forced a smile and whispered, "I'm not in pain! Brother! Are you? Are you in pain?" I tried to stretch out my hand, but found that all over my body, except for my mouth and eyes, was completely immobile!

  "I have a protective layer of chest hair, and Second Brother's mercy is also there. It was just that when the Fei Long Tower collapsed earlier, I suffered some injuries. But you! How could you make yourself so...!" At this point, he actually choked back a sob.

  "Ah! Ah! How did I end up like this? I didn't want to either! But there are people who think it's better for me to be dead than alive, what can I do!" I smiled wryly and after a while, spoke in a low voice, "By the way, senior brother, when did you discover your feelings for me?"

  He tugged at the corner of his lips and said in a low voice, "After taking out the night pearl from the five-colored bead! It turns out that the five-colored bead is missing one bead, and it no longer has the effect of calming the mind. I remembered everything! For the sake of Fei Long Tower, for the sake of Shen Long tribe, I have been enduring! Seeing you and escaping! I know your days are not easy to pass, but I am powerless to help you! Afterwards, my heart was always unsettled, and then, Fei Long Tower collapsed! You see, heaven is fair, my heart is not calm, so it is destined that I will die early. He became the emperor, got the world, got beautiful women, but couldn't get your heart! On Shen Long Wang's birthday, I can see you again, this life is already without regret!" He stretched out his hand and gently grasped mine, carefully stroking it.

  I trembled all over, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll only tell you once, brother! One word! Escape! Escape far, far away! Never come back to Jiang Guo again! To hell with Jiang Guo! To hell with responsibility!"

  His whole body trembled! Loudly and urgently, he said, "Don't say such things! As the Guardian God of the Tower, if the tower collapses, how can I just leave like this?! It's my responsibility, I won't escape!"

  His attitude was resolute, and there was no room for turning back.

  "I shouted resolutely, 'The Flying Dragon Tower has collapsed! Brother! Let yourself go and escape! Preserve your life! Don't care about responsibility or the Divine Dragon Clan anymore! You are you! You used to be a free person, you used to be the brilliant thief. Why now can't you understand anything? Why don't you want to leave?! What is it for?! Tell me, brother! What is it all for?!"

  His face suddenly turned pale, and after a while, he shook his head loudly and said, "Don't say anything else! Today will end here! You take good care of your injuries, if there's an opportunity, I'll come visit you again!" After speaking, he got up to leave.

  I exerted my strength and grasped his large hand with a reversed grip, saying in a low voice, "Big Brother!"

  He paused, and his body came to a stop. Carefully, he gazed at me with a pitiful expression. Gently, he smoothed out my white hair, and softly said, "Don't worry so much! Look at your hair, you're only 19 years old! And yet, it's already turned white! Do you know that this makes my heart ache to the point of death?"

  My whole body shook. He narrowed his eyes, as if remembering something. He stared at me blankly, his trembling lips finally covering mine!

  It's as if a thousand years have passed, but I still remember the last time we kissed was at the top of the Divine Dragon Tower! That time, he had his eyes closed and his hair white, almost toppling the Flying Dragon Tower! My tears fell like this, and he gently licked them away, as if afraid of hurting me, carefully kissing my eyes, my delicate nose, my lips, and my hair.

  The two of us forgot about time, forgot about the wounds on our bodies, forgot about the Fei Long Tower, forgot that he was Long Yun Xiao, and forgot that I was Ye Han Mei! We just forgot, and kissed passionately.

  He gently grasped my ten fingers, lightly kissing each one. He treated them like a treasure! With his head bowed down, the tips of his fingers were stained with warm moisture.

  He's crying! My tears, just fell like this, ah! After today, I don't know if we'll have the chance to meet again! Back then in the woods, he said, between us two, is it really going to be like this for this lifetime?

  It's either enmity or friendship between us two!

  But today, we two no longer have a future! Desperately, painfully kissing, couldn't keep him! Can only part ways!

  Is this then our fate? To love and hurt so much, yet never attain each other!

  The footsteps outside the door grew heavier, and Long Nuyue couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted loudly, "Are you two enough?! Don't treat me like I'm dead!" After that, he kicked open the door with one foot. Seeing Long Yunque holding my hand, his eyes blazed with anger, and in an instant, he snatched my hand away. He roared, "What are you doing, Long Yunque! You're overstepping your bounds!"

  She gazed at him faintly, slowly stood up, "So, I'm leaving! Your Majesty, I'll leave her to you!" After saying that, she bowed her head in courtesy and then slowly walked out.

  My whole body trembled, wanting to open my mouth to keep him, but I couldn't say a word! Long Lieya glanced at us with a faint gaze, shook his head, and then followed Long Yunye to leave.

  Long Nu's hand was trembling with rage as he grasped mine. The veins on his forehead were bulging. Judging from his expression, he was furious! His anger was soaring to the skies!

  I thought he was going to get angry, I thought he would say something very unpleasant, but instead, he suddenly put my hand to his lips. He sucked hard! From the back of my hand to the palm, and then from the fingertips to the roots of the fingers, from the thumb to the index finger, then to the middle finger, then to the ring finger, and finally to the little finger! His lips were trembling. His body was shaking too! Tears fell, wetting my fingertips. He didn't avoid it, letting those crystal clear tears fall down without any reserve. "I thought you were going to die! I really thought so!"

  Calmly watching him, but in my heart, I can clearly feel the deep love he conveys to me!

  It's this love that has hurt me all over! Almost shattered me!

  With a slight effort, she wanted to pull her hand back. But he wouldn't let go, almost pleadingly saying, "Don't! I don't want to let go of your hand! Your hand has his scent on it! The things you say to him, I can all hear! The things you do with him, I also know! But, but! In order to keep you, in order to let you live, I can only stand outside the door, watching the two of you with my eyes wide open! Hanmei! Am I wrong? Am I wrong?"

  Slowly shaking my head, I said in a low voice, "You're not wrong! The one who's wrong is me! It's my fault for provoking the Dragon Clan!"

  His tears, the more he fell. Half-kneeling beside me, his hands wrapped around my palms, and he whispered, "I can let him see you, I can also let you have a romantic conversation with him! As long as you are alive! Do you understand? As long as you are alive! I will use every means possible!"

  A ruthless smile spread across my lips as I calmly said, "Oh? Is that so, Your Majesty? Is it because of the pearl inside Hanmei's body?"

  His face turned iron-cold, and after a long while, he said incredulously, "Pearl? You're talking about the pearl? Ye Hanmei! Your value has never been that of a pearl! I can take it away from you anytime I want! This thing was always mine, do you think I would let it stay inside you for no reason? It's because I wanted to know your thoughts at all times and see you anywhere, anytime!" He shook his head, and after another long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "It's just a pity that when I destroyed your meridians, the pearl had already flowed out with your blood! If it weren't for that, how could you have been taken away by the female spirit? You almost died!"

  He said that and then showed me his ear, where the pearl was still intact and had merged with his ear, impossible to remove!

  "Originally, Your Majesty cut off my meridians just to retrieve your pearl! If you really wanted it, a word would have sufficed, why go to such great lengths!" I smiled calmly, watching his face turn iron-green. Unexpectedly, I felt a thrill of delight in my heart. I was deliberately misinterpreting his intentions! I was enjoying his distress!

  He muttered to himself, "I know you've suffered a great injustice, and it's only right that you should treat me this way! But if you really want this pearl, I'll take it off for you!" As soon as he finished speaking, he hastily tried to remove it, but the pearl seemed to have taken root in his ear, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out!

  I gazed at him coldly, with a cruel smile floating on the corners of my lips. I'd like to see just how far he can go! How could such precious things be given away so easily?!

  He couldn't get it off, and in a moment of desperation, he pulled with all his might, pulling until blood came out from his ear, but still couldn't get it off! Suddenly, he drew the short sword from his waist and pressed it against his ear, cutting down through the flesh, and then, holding the bloody pearl in both palms, he presented it to me, saying in a low, urgent voice, "Look! Look! I've gotten it off!"

  I smiled calmly and pointed with one hand, "However, Your Majesty, I want both sides!"

  He hesitated for a moment, then went to grab the other ear. The pearl on the other ear had been with him since childhood, but he couldn't take it off! He was so anxious that his face turned bright red, and he put the bloody pearl on the table, still holding the short sword at his waist, and cut down the pearl with one sword, cutting through skin and flesh.

  I don't know if it's just my imagination, but after that one sword strike, he seemed to have become much thinner and weaker than usual. His hands were stained with blood as he handed me a pearl earring, saying in a hoarse voice, "Look! This is the precious pearl from my own ear! I've come to put it on for you!" And then he was about to put it on me!

  I frowned, "My own body is already broken, seeing bloody things, I really want to vomit!" After that, I really did retch a few times!

  His face turned pale, "So, you don't want it!" He picked up the pearls on the table and put them in his palm, staring at me coldly and sorrowfully. "So, you really don't want it!"

  He muttered, the blood-stained pearls in his hand slowly merged into one, sticking together like two small drops of clear water on a lotus leaf, and eventually became one. In his hand, it shone brightly. "It turns out that the emperor's ear pearl has such an effect! The pearl in the emperor's hand is really beautiful, and it's afraid that thieves will find it if it's placed in the palm of the hand like this. Why not do this? Hanmei swallowed half of the emperor's pearls since childhood, but I've never seen anyone else swallow pearls. Why don't you also swallow the pearl in your hand into your abdomen?" I smiled calmly.

  His face was deathly pale! His lips kept trembling, and he said in a hoarse voice, "You say... Let me swallow the pearl into my belly? Hanmei! Is this what you said?"

  I nodded and smiled cruelly, "Yes! Your Majesty! This is something of your own, if you can swallow it, then you can naturally take it out again! It's quite interesting!"

  He stared fixedly at the pearl in his palm, with fresh blood flowing from his ear, as if he was looking at a poisonous medicine!

  Seeing him unwilling, I coldly said, "If Your Majesty is not willing, it would be better to hurry back to the Taiji Hall! Staying here with a discarded concubine who doesn't know what's good for her is truly an unwise move!"

  He fell silent, staring deeply at me, slowly bringing the pearl to his lips, just as he was about to take it in, the door was kicked open! Long Lie Yao snatched the pearl from him and loudly rebuked, "Your Majesty! How can you do such a foolish thing!"

  His face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "As long as she doesn't hate me that much, even if I were to die on the spot, what's the difference!"

  "Your Majesty, how can you be so muddled! The Empress may not know the situation, but how can Your Majesty also be like this? Think thrice, Your Majesty! Enduring for today will surely bring a bright future! Today, the Empress is tired and Your Majesty is also tired! Let's return to the Taiji Hall to rest!" After saying that, he pulled him away.

  Faintly, I lift my lips and look at the beam again, Morning Star! Are you the one who wants to take me away? You pity me for being trapped in the desolate palace, so you want to take me away, but it ends up with a tragic outcome of soul dispersing! Once entering the deep palace, it's like entering the sea. From then on, only I am left in this cold palace, alone?

  Long Nuoya kept his promise and had Yunya come to keep me company every day. The two of us, who rarely got a chance to relax, talked more and more because he was about to be sent to the Dragon King soon.

  Gradually, I can also sit in the yard and look at the jasmine in the yard. I've never noticed that in the Cold Fragrance Garden, a new stream has appeared at some point, with a width of one foot. The water flows very quickly in the stream, and when the upstream water comes down, it always brings many interesting things.

  Sometimes it's a snow-white magnolia, sometimes it's a proud orchid. I sit in the courtyard, always loving to stay by the stream, waiting for the fallen flowers flowing down from upstream!

  "Is it a big garden next door?" I asked in a low voice, Danju looked at me steadily, her eyes showing something unknown, and after a while, she replied in a low voice, "Yes!"

  "In the garden, all sorts of flowers are in full bloom! But I just can't understand why such beautiful flowers would fall into the water like this! It's as if they have a mind of their own, and the water is heartless." I said with a hint of sadness.

  The chrysanthemum was silent, and at this moment, another large green chrysanthemum floated by in the small stream. I reached out to pick it up, but couldn't catch it. I couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Such a beautiful flower, how could it be cut off from its stem! What a pity!" As soon as I finished speaking, tears began to fall.

  The pale chrysanthemum didn't speak, but Yu's swift footsteps echoed as she chased after the green chrysanthemum, plucking it from the water and returning it to my face. She stretched out her hand to grasp it, and a helpless smile spread across my lips. The chrysanthemum was pale, yet it had been cut down by someone with a sword - who could wield a sword within the palace?

  "Should I go and investigate, Concubine? Who lives in the palace next door?" Danju asked quietly.

  I shook my head and didn't speak, "It's just an abandoned palace, even if there is, it's just the palace guards playing around! I just picked up the flowers he cut down, what's the big deal? Why uncover this veil! Danju, what day is today!"

  Dai Ju spoke in a low voice, "Today is already the first day of August! In half a month, it will be the king's departure date! Speaking of which, why hasn't the king arrived yet today!"

  From that day on, Long Nuyue never appeared in Lengxiang Garden again, but I knew he was still around me! He just hid and didn't let me see him, but he could see me!

  All the more reason for me to live a carefree life! My back is straighter than anyone else's!

  Because of the relationship that allows us to meet every day, Yun Ya's injury has also improved a lot. However, since I was able to enter the courtyard and sit for a while, as long as he appeared, Tan Hua would stay nearby. He is also considerate, so he just talks to me across a small stream and drinks tea.

  These days pass so quickly, and there's only half a month left! How can it be just half a month?! What I want is a lifetime!

  But our lives are so short! Even if I escape, I can only live to be thirty years old! And Yun Ya didn't even have thirty days!

  He still wore a snow-white shirt, sitting on the opposite side of the small stream, hoarsely saying, "Your Highness, today, let Yun Ya play a dragon hum tune for Your Highness!"

  I smiled and nodded, "Alright, brother!" The clear stream reflected my stunning face as well as my snow-white hair. We two white-haired youths stood on opposite banks of the creek, listening to the Dragon's Humming Tune.

  Long Yin melody, as the name suggests, is a song created by the royal family of Jiang Guo to praise the dragon god of Jiang Guo. The grandeur of the atmosphere makes people surrender. Listening to it with enthusiasm, the piano sound suddenly changes, and it's like a gentle stream flowing slowly, just like the gentle spring breeze, so tender and touching, so moving!

  The Dragon's Song is not just about the sharp killing intent, but also about the long-lasting love between men and women! So, does the divine dragon also have romance? I recall the White Dragon King who toppled the Divine Dragon Tower for love a thousand years ago!

  As for the ending of that woman, Long Lieyuan never told me, but I can guess a bit. With the prince dead, how could she live alone? But among all the women who could climb the tower in Jiang Guo, how many could there be? It's probably another tragic love affair!

  Taking a deep breath, just as he was about to speak, Long Lie Yan stood among the flowers, smiling calmly. "It seems that both of your injuries have healed quite a bit! Niang niang's external wounds have mostly recovered except for her leg injury and not eating yet. It won't be long before Lie Yan no longer has to bear someone's murderous gaze every day to change Niang niang's medicine!"

  "Pulling up his lips, he said faintly, 'What? Is that certain person still around here? Isn't he tired?'"

  He shook his head, "Looking at the one you love, how can you be tired! Yun Ya, are you saying you won't leave?"

  Long Yunya nodded slightly. He smiled calmly, but didn't speak. I remained silent, but the corners of my lips curled up slightly into an arc.

  Tan Hu said in a low voice, "Nowadays, the skin of the princess is as white as condensed fat. Tan Hu had told the king before that it would be better to let Tan Hu apply medicine for the princess, but the king refused! Those who don't know will think that the king is infatuated with the princess's beauty!"

  My face stiffened! I said in a cold voice, "It's not that the prince likes it, but I let the prince come to change!" Tan Hua responded with a sound and lowered her head.

  Bang! The door was finally kicked open, and Long Nuyue's angry voice rang out, "You wouldn't let the palace maid change your dressing, insisting that I do it myself. What are you trying to do!"
