"Yeah...it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival."
Ever since Luo Zhaozhao became blind, the two of them have been staying in this remote courtyard in the imperial palace. The news was blocked by Gu Miao and was not spread out, so no one came to visit them.
Her health was getting worse and worse, probably because she had a knot in her heart. She couldn't eat or drink, and she lost a lot of weight.
Chu Zhiyao came several times, but was turned away every time.
Looking out the window blankly, Luo Zhaozhao seemed a little moved and murmured
"Baolan, Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here."
"Go tell the Third Princess that we are going home."
"Let's go home."
Hearing the word "go home", Baolan's eyes suddenly filled with tears, her voice choked, she turned her head to the side to wipe her tears, and smiled very forcedly.
"Yes, we've been out for too long, it's time to go home."
"It's time to go home, Miss. I will go find the Third Princess today, and we will go home tomorrow."
She took Luo Zhaozhao's hand in front of her and patted it. The two warm palms pressed together made the atmosphere less depressing.
………
At night, Luo Zhaozhao went straight to bed without having dinner, and Baolan went to Gu Miao in the afternoon to ask to go back home. Unexpectedly, she agreed very readily.
This was the first time Luo Zhaozhao smiled since he became blind.
After Luo Zhaozhao fell asleep, Baolan began to pack up for tomorrow's departure.
The night wind was very cold, so she wore thicker clothes.
Outside the house, the clothes washed yesterday were all dry. Baolan let out a sigh and reached out to take the clothes down.
But when he pulled off the clothes, a dark face was revealed behind the clothes.
In the moonlight, the face was pale and there was danger in the eyes. In just a moment, Baolan was frightened so much that he shivered and collapsed to the ground!
Just as he was about to scream, the man suddenly rushed out and covered his mouth!
“Ugh!!”
The palm on his mouth was strong and had some calluses. It was too late at night, and the sudden change made Baolan struggle immediately!
“Don’t move!!”
Baolan didn't stop struggling until a low and familiar voice was heard. She looked up suspiciously, and the man also let go of his hand.
When he saw who that person was, Baolan exclaimed
"General?!"
"It's so late! Why are you here?"
Chu Zhiyao looked towards the room with a gloomy expression.
"she……"
As if knowing what Chu Zhiyao was going to say, Baolan followed his gaze and looked into the room.
"Oh, the lady has gone to bed. If you have anything to say..."
Baolan didn't say "Come back tomorrow".
After all, Luo Zhaozhao has rejected Chu Zhiyao many times. If she comes again tomorrow, the result will probably be the same.
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhiyao then stared at Baolan without moving.
I don’t know where the silence came from, as the falling leaves from the trees made Baolan get goosebumps for no reason.
The horror she had just seen in Chu Zhiyao's eyes seemed to be her illusion. She could only hold back her teeth and look into Chu Zhiyao's cold eyes.
"General? What's wrong?"
Chu Zhiyao finally regained his composure, his lips trembling for a while, and his gaze shifted to the side.
"Baolan, do you want your young lady to get better?"
Baolan was stunned.
Get better?
"General, what you said is..."
The corners of his mouth twitched several times, and he asked Chu Zhiyao in a somewhat incredible tone.
"I've found a way to make your young lady better."
As soon as these words came out, Baolan's legs began to tremble, and she knelt down in front of Chu Zhiyao.
"General! General, please save the young lady! She can't be without eyes!"
"We have only this one young lady in the Governor's Mansion and no legitimate son. Our young lady cannot become blind!"
Probably because of the excitement, Baolan burst into tears and kowtowed to Chu Zhiyao.
"General, General! I will serve you like a slave! Please save the young lady! Please save the young lady!"
Chu Zhiyao's expression was a little strange as he was lifted up by Xu Xu.
"I won't ask you to work like a slave..."
He took out a black pill from his pocket.
"Come with me to a place that's a little special. You need to take this before you can recover. I'll give you medicine that can make Zhao Zhao better."
Although Baolan was still vigilant at first, when she heard about the medicine that could make Zhaozhao better, she ignored everything and directly took the pill from Chu Zhiyao and swallowed it.
Watching Baolan swallowing, Chu Zhiyao's Adam's apple moved up and down.
"Let's go."
The wind grew stronger that night.
For some reason, even though the weather was clear, it felt a bit chilly, and some people even believed it was early winter.
The sparse stars were gone from the sky, and a dark cloud lay heavy on the ground.
Baolan wrapped her clothes tightly and followed Chu Zhiyao. Seeing the surroundings becoming more and more desolate, her teeth trembled.
"General, where are we going?"
Chu Zhiyao walked in front with an upright posture, his steps seemed a little heavy.
"You'll know when you get there."
His voice was muffled and Baolan couldn't hear it clearly, but she could only follow him.
On the hill behind the imperial palace's cold palace, there are some low graves buried at an angle.
Some of the concubines in the cold palace died at an unlucky time and didn't even have a tomb. They were buried in the back mountain.
The number of graves here gradually increased. When Baolan first stepped in, she felt a gust of cold wind. Looking at the graves around her, the surroundings were so scary and terrifying. Her scalp was numb and she hesitated for no reason.
