Jiang Ruoruo was depressed all day and no one wanted to see him. He wrapped himself in a quilt for a long time before falling asleep.

A sensible sound rang out from the quiet room, and the shadows of trees shone in through the window, like monsters with teeth and claws.

Jiang Ruoru, who was sleeping, woke up in a daze. Suddenly, he saw a black shadow about to climb onto her bed. He was so scared that he suddenly stood up. The scream was stuck in his throat and before he could get out, he was interrupted by the "Ruoru".

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

Xiaoman lowered his head guiltily, his voice weak and mosquitoes and flies.

Jiang Ruoruo was so angry that he was speechless that he pointed at her hand and kept shaking: "What are you going to do?

You actually... dare to climb my bed late at night! Who opened the door for you!"

Xiaoman's voice lowered: "Window."

"you!"

She glared at Xiaoman in anger and showed a few words with gritted teeth.

"What are you doing?"

"I can't sleep..." Xiaoman glanced at her secretly, then quickly lowered his head, looking like he was afraid of being scolded for doing something wrong.

Jiang Ruoruo recovered and said coldly with a stern face: "What are you doing here if you can't sleep?"

She said this, and she couldn't help but look at Xiaoman's thin clothes again.

It was cold at night, and Xiaoman suddenly felt like Jiang Ruoruo's house. His shoulders were trembling and his body was in unbearable pain.

She pulled it off and looked at Jiang Ruoruo in confusion: "Aren't you angry?"

Jiang Ruoruo said angrily: "Angry, stop talking to me!"

After saying that, she lay back on the bed with her back facing Xiaoman.

I am determined to ignore her tonight and just treat her as if she does not exist.

Xiaoman quietly got into the quilt, lay beside Jiang Ruoruo, and explained in a low voice: "I didn't mean to not tell you, I thought I wouldn't see the prince again.

I don’t want to stay here, I want to go back to Yizhou.”

Jiang Ruoruo kept silent, and suddenly a pair of hands reached over her waist.

Xiaoman pressed her, and she said a little crying: "I didn't know I would see him. I thought I would never see him again... I can leave the capital tomorrow and never come back... Don't ignore me..."

At the end of the conversation, it became a low sob. Jiang Ruoruo's eyes also turned red, and he could get up, saying, "What nonsense? The prince just likes you at first sight. Not to mention Yizhou, it's useless even if you hide in Qingzhou."

Xiaoman curled up and finally couldn't help but cover his face and cried.

"I didn't mean to see him...I don't like him anymore, don't be angry with me."

Jiang Ruoruo's original anger was completely dissipated by her crying, but she had no choice but to pat her back to comfort her: "I'm not angry, don't cry."

Xiaoman still sobbed and tears soaked his clothes.

"I even said I wasn't angry anymore, why are you still crying?"

She was really upset this time, it was not a big deal, and she would have been angry with her if she had known this.

"I...I can't stop...I can't stop."

Jiang Ruoru: "..."

Xiaoman sat up, twisted his body and got into her arms, and was patted a few times before he stopped sobbing.

"You're really not angry?"

Xiaoman spoke carefully.

"Um."

Jiang Ruoruo couldn't help but ask her: "You are the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how did the prince like you?"

Xiaoman shook his head: "He doesn't like me."

"How is it possible? Today's prince looks like you for a long time."

Jiang Ruoruo frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

The shadow of the tree reflected into the room from the half-open window. The originally hideous shadow no longer looked terrifying, but it had a little more cold and lonely meaning.

She pinched the horn of the quilt and her voice cried so hard that she became a little hoarse.

"The prince doesn't like me."

"What about you?"

"I don't like him either."

——

When Xiaoman got up the next day, his eyes were red and swollen from Jiang Ruoruo's house. Jiang Susi looked at Jiang Ruoruo with a slight reproach.

Jiang Ruoruo said dissatisfiedly: "This matter is not what I do, Xiaoman himself wants to cry.

Brother, you'd better take care of your cousin. Xiaoman always follows him and learns to go through the window."

Jiang Susi opened his eyes wide and looked at Xiaoman, then scolded Han Shilai: "What kind of decent thing! Xiaoman is a woman, it's just that you're just making trouble, how can you bring her with you?

If it spreads…”

"Hey, I know."

Han Shi interrupted him and glanced at Xiaoman inadvertently.

"Doctor Xu is still waiting. Let her take Xiaoman's pulse first."

Doctor Xu also heard about what happened the day before, and he couldn't bear to look at Xiaoman a few more times when he was treating him.

Xiaoman was very uncomfortable and said to Jiang Susi after he left: "I want to go back to Yizhou..."

Han Shi vetoed: "Then you have to take care of your body before talking about it. Doctor Xu just said that your old illness is not impossible to cure. If you really come back to Yizhou and drag it down again and again, your body will not be able to bear it.

Just riding a carriage can cost you half your life."

Although she was reluctant, she couldn't say more to refute.

Jiang Susi sighed: "Now you can't leave just by wanting."

After leaving Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, Doctor Xu went straight to the East Palace.

On the way back to the bedroom last night, Zhou Gongyu couldn't hide his smile from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Asi could see that the prince was sincere and without any false feelings.

Since Miss Xiaoman died, His Highness has been unable to sleep for a long time and often startled to feel cold sweat at night.

He thought that Miss Xiaoman was not only not dead, but also returned to the capital, and the prince could finally have a safe sleep.

But when the sky light broke through the night, when he got up and went to the prince's bedroom, he once again saw the figure under the wisteria.

Zhou Gongyu sat in a darkness, his body was stained with the cold dew, and the morning light could not shine on him.

Still alone, alone.

Why is Miss Xiaoman still lost when she comes back?

Doctor Xu returned to the East Palace to report Xiaoman's condition to Zhou Gongyu.

Zhou Gongyu was reviewing the memorial, but before Doctor Xu came, the memorial in his hand had not been moved for half an hour.

Even if you sit in front of the desk, it is still difficult to gather your energy and make yourself concentrate.

"That lady used Cun Hancao, but now her body is damaged by the remaining poison. When the weather gets cold, it will hurt so much that it is difficult to fall asleep. I have prescribed a few more prescriptions to calm the mind..."

"Is there a cure?"

"I can only adjust it slowly, and this matter is not urgent."

After Doctor Xu finished speaking, he remembered another thing and said, "There is another thing. According to Mr. Jiang, the lady has also suffered from the symptoms of snow blindness. She cannot see the light and must not travel in the snow. If the snow blindness repeats, she may become blind in the future."

After saying that, he waited for the person in the seat for a long time, but still had no answer.

Zhou Gongyu looked stunned. After pondering for a moment, he gently put down the fold in his hand.

"You said... blind?"

The prince, who was always calm and composed, had a little panic in his tone.

Doctor Xu thought something was wrong with his ear.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry. Miss's snow blindness is not serious. As long as you pay more attention, there is no possibility of blindness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Gongyu got up and walked out.

"Asi, leave the palace."

When Zhou Gongyu left yesterday, he had already arranged for someone to stay in the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion to prevent Xiaoman from disappearing again.

Marquis of Weiyuan naturally noticed these things, but since it was the order of the prince, he could only turn a blind eye.

Jiang Ruoruo's anger was extinguished by Xiaoman's tears as soon as he came up. The two of them were still holding hands and inseparable.

Only Han Shi couldn't sleep all night, thinking about the scene of Xiaoman being held in the prince's arms, and suddenly remembered the winter solstice that year. The two of them stood in the crowd with their hands, and even the vendors praised them for being very good.
