This clear and sweet sound like the stream suddenly sounded in Xina's ears, making Xina's heart tremble.
She raised her tearful eyes and saw Leng Ming holding a handful of small wild flowers in his hand and looking at her with a smile. When she raised her head, he directly raised the handful of small wild flowers to her eyes.
"I promise never to make you angry again. Can you please just ignore me?"
Leng Ming's words made Xina's tears silently slide down her cheeks. She bit her lips and looked at him, not knowing what to do.
Seeing her crying, Leng Ming suddenly panicked and was at a loss.
"Xina, what's wrong with you? Did I offend you again? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, stop crying. Why did I offend you? You scold me, or you can hit me."
Seeing Leng Ming standing in front of her, fussing around and blaming himself, Xina suddenly hugged him, buried her head in his arms, and kept crying.
Xina's actions made Leng Ming stunned. Except for the last time he carried her back to the city, they had never been in such close contact with each other. This time she actually took the initiative to hug him, which made Leng Ming's My heart was filled with ecstasy.
He put his hand on her head with some embarrassment and kept comforting:
"Stop crying. I really didn't mean to mess with you. I want to see you happy every day."
She nestled in his arms, thinking about what her sister had said to her, her heart ached extremely, but nothing could come out of her mouth.
At this time, Leng Ming suddenly took two steps back, held her head with both hands, half-crouched in front of her, met her eyes, and looked at her seriously,
"Xina, I don't want you to be my sister anymore..."
His words made Xina startled. She looked at him with puzzled eyes. She suddenly realized what Leng Ming was going to say. She shook her head hurriedly and stopped her in a hoarse voice: "Leng Ming, don't go on. "
"No, I want to say, I want to tell you, I don't want you to be my sister anymore, I want you to be my woman, my wife, and my princess."
"no no……"
Xina lost control of her emotions and shook her head vigorously. She covered her ears with her hands and closed her eyes tightly.
"No, we can't be together, Leng Ming, I'm sorry, we can't be together."
"Why not? Xina, I like you. I fell in love with you a long time ago. I feel that I can only feel happy when I am with you. Do you know? I dream about you every night and during the day. I want to come to you, but you are not married and I am not married, why can’t we be together?”
Leng Ming's sudden confession made Xina's tears fall down her cheeks like a flood.
She bit her lip and looked at Leng Ming. When she shook her head vigorously again, her heart seemed to be torn into pieces.
"Why?"
Leng Ming grabbed her shoulders with both hands, shook her, and asked loudly with red eyes,
"Xina, tell me why you can't be with me? I'm going to find my fourth sister-in-law right now and ask her to help us."
"do not go……"
Xina looked at him with painful eyes, "You and I have special status. We can't be together at all. If we force ourselves to be together, it will only harm you, me and the people around us."
Her words made Leng Ming stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he couldn't wait to say to her hastily:
"Are you saying that you are older than me? I don't care. To be honest, I have never treated you as my sister. I have always thought that you are just a little woman who needs protection. In other words, you are worried that you are Chu A matter about the people of the country? It doesn’t matter. I can go to my father and ask him to do it. I will force him to die, and he will agree. I beg him not to pursue your identity and let him order a marriage for us. "
Leng Ming stated the two issues that Xina was worried about in one breath. Although he could not guarantee that his father would agree to marry Xina, he would fight for it with all his strength.
But Xina was very sober at this time, and she knew that Leng Ming's emotional behavior would make this matter impossible to end in the end.
"Don't go. The emperor's ban on Chu people has not been lifted yet. If you go to him now, it will definitely arouse his resentment, which will affect your sister and brother-in-law. Besides... I don't think we are suitable for being together. "
Leng Ming stared at Xina with a pair of handsome eyes, and asked seriously and carefully:
"Do you like me?"
He had thought about it, if Xina also liked him, he would beg his father to grant her permission even if he risked his life.
Xina didn't know how to answer his question, she didn't dare to look at him, she was afraid that her eyes would betray her.
Just when she was about to turn her head to avoid his hot eyes, Leng Ming held her head firmly with both hands and asked again word by word:
"Xina, do you like me? If you like me too, I believe we can overcome all difficulties and be together."
Xina really wanted to tell him that she liked him, very much, very much, but she couldn't do that.
According to Leng Ming's indifferent temper, if she told her, he would definitely rush into the palace and mention the matter to the emperor. By the time the emperor punished her and went to Prince Yu's Mansion, it would be too late.
So, she closed her eyes against her will and shook her head gently.
"I...I don't like you."
Her words left Leng Ming stunned. When he reacted, he immediately let go of his hands, stood up feebly, turned around slowly, walked out of the pavilion, and headed straight for the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Looking at his lonely back, Xina felt indescribably sad, and tears fell silently down her cheeks.

Inside the Yangxin Hall
On the second day after the emperor stopped taking the medicine, the emperor was lying on the imperial couch with a distorted face, his hands tightly grasping the bedrail, and he yelled hatefully but feebly:
"Liu Xi...Liu Xi...what's going on? Hurry...get me the medicine."
Liu Xi stood beside him, holding the small pills sent by Luo Lan in his hand. Seeing the emperor's uncomfortable look, his heart tugged together.
He presented the small pill again,
"emperor……"
"Get away!"
The emperor suddenly used force and knocked the small pill in his hand to the ground. While wailing in pain, he said softly and out of breath:
"Go...call Leng Xi here and ask him...let him bring me the small pills from before."
Seeing that the emperor had noticed the problem with the small pill, Liu Xi hurriedly lay on the ground, picked up the small pill, and comforted him softly,
"Your Majesty, this pill is the same as the previous one. You have been addicted to pills recently, so you feel unwell. You can take another one. At least you can sleep a little longer."
"I...I eat once, and I can only...sleep...for a quarter of an hour. Do you want me to...eat to death...to death?"
Liu Xi looked at the emperor's expression of a life worse than death, and knelt beside the emperor with tears in his eyes, choking as if he was about to cry.
"Your Majesty, don't say that. You are in good health and will be fine."
"Liu Xi, if...if I die, this throne...who should this throne be passed on to?"
"Your Majesty, you won't die. Take the medicine first and get some sleep!"
"I can't do it anymore, Liu Xi, give me a knife! Kill me! Ah..."
After shouting the word ah, the emperor began to tear his clothes hard, and then started to pull the bed rail hard, and began to bang his head against the bed rail...
"Your Majesty, don't do this, you are scaring this old slave!"
"Your Majesty, just take the medicine and be patient."
"emperor……"
