Chapter 24: Heavy Dew and Frost

  Evil Flower Chapter 24 Wind and Dew Again Original First Release Net

  A month of house arrest, more than half of the time has passed, but Luojie doesn't feel happy at all. Before this, she was always the most favored concubine in the palace, but now she is being punished and confined to this courtyard, not allowed to leave or enter. A month may not be a long time, but it's enough for many things to happen. Not to mention what that "mute" queen will do, even Xunjie and the others won't just sit idly by, they'll definitely make use of these days to try their best to win the emperor's favor. When she comes out again, can she still be the favored one in the palace? Will the emperor still treat her with the same kindness as before?

  She was sitting alone in her room, lost in thought, when a maid suddenly came to report that the prince had arrived. She couldn't believe it and almost thought she was dreaming. It wasn't until she saw his tall and stately figure that she joyfully rushed up to greet him.

  "Luo'er didn't know Your Highness would come and wasn't dressed up, losing etiquette, please forgive me."

  Yuan Longqiao reached out and helped her up, "Luò'ér is already very good, no need to deliberately dress up."

  "Your Highness." Luoji felt her heart sweet as honey, excited to want to hold his hand, but unexpectedly Yuan Longchao walked past her and sat down at the table.

  Outside, it suddenly started raining heavily at some point, with rain pouring down like a waterfall, fast and dense, the sound of which was incessant.

  His gaze swept across the window, his eyebrows furrowed, a hint of worry flashed across his eyes, and his lips pursed before he spoke to Luojie, his expression restored to normal: "I think I'll have a small drink, Luo'er, go prepare it."

  "Yes." With a bow and a rustle of her skirts, Lian'er went out with a happy smile to order the wine.

  Outside the window, the rain is pouring down heavily. Inside the window, I sit quietly alone. Amidst the noise, I find stillness. Yet, this moment's peace and quiet somehow makes my heart feel anxious!

  The outskirts of the capital city are covered with continuous mountains and dense forests, a thick layer of dark clouds presses down on the mountain tops like a giant hat, weighing heavily on one's heart. A huge boulder stands tilted, surrounded by waist-high wild grasses that form a natural cave. Although it can't escape the dampness, it is enough to block the wind and rain.

  Xia Yang gathered some dry grass to make a fire, but the grass was all half wet, and it was not easy to start this fire. Xia Tian took off the hairpins and ornaments on her head, put down her long hair that was dripping with water, and sat pale-faced on one side. Although it was still summer, this cave had never seen sunlight all year round, and now it was a gloomy rainy day, the cold and dampness were evident. She couldn't bear the chill rising from the ground, her hands clasped each other around her arms, her teeth chattered, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

  Seeing Xia Tian shivering with cold, Xia Yang couldn't help but hurry even more. With great difficulty, he managed to start a fire and didn't even care that his own robes were completely soaked. As he walked towards the outside of the cave, he anxiously said: "Tian'er, quickly take off your wet clothes and dry them by the fire, I'll keep watch for you outside."

  He was gone before she could stop him. Summer moved closer to the fire, her heart racing as she scanned the dark cave, feeling even colder. As night fell and the heavy rain continued, she gritted her teeth and rushed out too.

  Xia Yang stood with his back to the cave entrance, eyes closed, as rainwater fell on his face like a small stream flowing down. He felt some regret, having rushed out just now and forgotten to ask about her injuries. The heavy rain pounded against him, mist swirling around the mountains, making the surroundings seem even more desolate and barren, with few signs of human presence. In such circumstances, with such scenery, he would normally have felt lonely and isolated, but at this moment he felt exceptionally calm and warm. Because his heart was no longer empty.

  Footsteps sounded behind him, and his arm was pulled back. He turned his head to see that pale little face slightly raised, with moist eyelashes and shiny black eyes staring at him timidly. His heart skipped a beat and hurt again, and he couldn't help but pull her back into the cave. "How did you come out? Hurry in, don't catch a cold."

  Have her sit back by the fire pit, Xia Yang worriedly asked: "Was she injured? Where was she hurt? Is it serious?"

  By the firelight, looking at her brother's white robe with stains all over it, his normally neat hair bun was disheveled and his purple crown was askew. His originally fair and handsome face was now streaked with black. Xia Tian pursed her lips, her eyes filled with worry, and her heart was a jumble of emotions. The wounds on her body were painful, but they didn't hurt as much as the pain she felt when she was beaten that day. She had long since made up her mind to tell her father and brother about what happened when she was beaten, but seeing him in this state, she suddenly changed her mind. She pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to him, while pointing to her own nose with a slightly trembling finger.

  Xia Yang was stunned, the big eyes in front of him were full of innocence and purity, suddenly seeing it curved, he couldn't help but smile too, took out his handkerchief to wipe his nose.

  Summer pointed to his cheek again, and he followed suit, wiping it away. Before he knew it, the handkerchief had been snatched from his hand and was being used to wipe his face and forehead.
