My eyes feel sore, but I can't cry; my heart aches, but I can't make a sound; this kind of silent pain is an indescribable torture.

"Princess, please accept my condolences. You must be well. You are the one that my master cares about the most! Only when you are well will my master feel at ease!" Ai Ai said crying.

She had admired the master for many years, and she was as sad as the princess when he died.

"Xiao Ye, look forward. There is Prince Chen, the two children, and us." Jun Yuyang stepped forward, and just as his hand was about to fall on her shoulder, she took half a step back and dodged.

He turned his head stiffly and looked at the fire that was still emitting smoke.

All burned...

But, how could the evidence of a person's existence be erased?

Outside the low wall of the backyard, there is a wild jujube tree. Every year in late summer and early autumn when the jujubes are ripe, she likes to climb the tree to pick them. Her brother stands on the wall with his hands outstretched, always vigilant to prevent her from falling.

And the pond.

The carp in the pond were caught by them when they went fishing. They said that the red carp was a symbol of good luck, so they couldn't bear to eat it and just kept it in the pond.

Qin Ye was in a trance and walked to the wall with stiff steps.

The date tree...was cut down.

All the fish in the pond were taken out.

She walked into the study, but the teacup was gone, the desk was gone, the books were gone, the incense burner was gone, and the screen was gone.

When he walked into the living room, his favorite tea was gone, and even the carved nanmu chair that he loved to sit on was gone.

His room was completely empty, everything was gone, leaving only an empty shelf.

Side room, kitchen, backyard, garden...

Overnight, the Imperial Master's Mansion seemed to have been reshuffled, and everything related to Ling Yixing was gone. This trance-like feeling was like having a big dream.

He left.

He left cleanly, without a trace, leaving nothing behind, including himself.

The farewell yesterday morning was the last time she saw him.

He seemed like a virtual character who had never appeared and left no trace in the world, but he had carved a scar in her heart that would never heal in her lifetime.

Why not tell her the truth?

Why did you hide it from her?

Why did you leave without her consent?

Why did he leave so completely, disappear so cleanly, without leaving her with any regrets?

Why be so cruel to her?

elder brother……

Qin Ye's eyes were so dry that he couldn't cry. He felt like he was going blind due to the pain. A mouthful of blood got stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it.

When he picked up the letter written by Ling Yixing himself, he found that the ink on the letter was smeared with a special liquid, which slowly faded away when it came into contact with the air.

In just seven or eight seconds, all the writing disappeared, and the three sheets of letter paper turned into three blank sheets of paper.

Not a single word left.

No trace left.

I couldn't even bear to leave her a letter...

Qin Ye dragged his tired feet, trying to find traces of the past in the Imperial Master's Mansion, but found that there was nothing left except the memories in his mind.

He forcibly removed himself from her life.

Bro, you are so cruel...

She collapsed and fell into a coma.

There were many footsteps and cries of surprise in my ears: "Princess... call the doctor... someone come... something bad has happened..."

She couldn't hear anything.

Vaguely, she only remembered that four years ago, when she just woke up, Ling Yixing dragged Shen Shichen to her bed, holding a sword, and said aggressively:

"You like him, fine, fine. As long as you are happy, I can do anything for you. Even if you want the moon in the sky, I will pick it for you."

'Shen Shichen, marry her! Otherwise I will kill you now!'
