Mu Beichen listened to Yan Xi's words very much, finished his work early and returned to his palace.
Yan Xi cooked again, this time making dumplings.
Dumplings, which they wanted to eat but rarely ate before.
The taste was still the same, but Mu Beichen felt it was a little sweeter and couldn't help but eat another bowl.
After dinner, the two took a walk in the palace, talking and laughing. When their feelings were at their peak, Yan Xi took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.
Mu Beichen grabbed his wrist, stared at him, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Yanxi, forget it today. You won't be able to bear it."
Yan Xi didn't care and pressed him down and kissed him wildly.
In the middle of the night, Yan Xi hugged him tightly, being especially clingy, "Beichen, can we sleep a little later tonight?"
Mu Beichen lowered his head and pecked him lightly on the lips, "I'll do as you say."
Perhaps because he was too tired from handling government affairs during the day, Mu Beichen slowly fell asleep.
Yan Xi looked at him, gently tracing his facial features with her fingers.
As time went by, breathing became more difficult, and my fingers became weak and trembling.
Yan Xi used all her strength to stand up, held his face, kissed him devoutly, and then lay quietly beside him.
"Ding! The countdown to leaving the plane begins: five."
Yan Xi's eyes went dark and bright, his vision blurred. He stared at the man beside him, wanting to engrave this person into the depths of his soul.
"Four."
Beichen, remember what you said and leave me a clue.
"three."
Don't be sad because I'm leaving.
"two."
"Mu Beichen, I love you."
"One, the countdown is over, leaving the plane..."
Yan Xi slowly closed his eyes.
The sky shed its black gauze skirt and put on a blue and white dress.
As soon as Mu Beichen woke up, there was a commotion outside the hall.
"Master Yu, you can't go in. The prince is still resting."
Lord Yu...Yu Zhiyi?
Mu Beichen woke up instantly, glanced at the person who was still sleeping beside him, got up quietly, put on his clothes, and went out. Looking at the aggressive Yu Zhiyi outside, he was extremely calm: "Master Yu, why did you come to see me so early?"
Yu Zhiyi bowed and smiled coldly, "Your Highness, I heard someone saw someone who looked exactly like me in your palace. I can't wait to see him. Moreover, I have the Emperor's permission. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Hearing this, Mu Beichen glanced at Xiao Lingzi. Xiao Lingzi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.
Since Yu Zhiyi has already discovered it, Mu Beichen doesn't plan to hide it anymore.
Since his father has given his permission, what else is there for him to hide?
Mu Beichen was silent for a moment, then said, "Master Yu, please wait a moment if you want to see it. He hasn't woken up yet."
Yu Zhiyi sneered in his heart. It seemed that the Regent was very infatuated with Xier, but even so, it could not erase the fact that he imprisoned Xier.
"Please forgive my boldness, but I am anxious to see it now." Worried that he would hide Yan Xi again, Yu Zhiyi ignored everything and made his attitude clear.
Seeing that he was determined, Mu Beichen, who was in the wrong at first, didn't say anything. He nodded and went straight back to the bedroom. When he came to the bed, he whispered, "Yan Xi, your father is here."
However, the person on the bed was motionless, as if he was fast asleep.
Seeing this, Mu Beichen smiled helplessly yet dotingly, raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder, shaking it, "Yanxi, wake up quickly, Minister Yu is here to see you."
He was answered with silence.
Suddenly, Mu Beichen realized that the person on the bed had a very low body temperature. He had a bad feeling in his heart. He held his breath and found that the person in front of him had no movement in his chest.
Mu Beichen's body stiffened instantly, his mind went blank for a moment, and he raised his hand to feel the breath, but the cold touch told him that this person was no longer alive.
Mu Beichen's facial muscles twisted slightly, and he smiled stiffly, "Yanxi, stop making trouble, your father is still waiting for you outside."
The young man on the bed still did not respond.
Mu Beichen's face was stone-faced, as if he had been thrust into an ice cellar without warning. His entire body was frozen and stiff, his heart aching, and he felt a bit breathless. He trembled as he hugged the young man, his body shaking instinctively, and hot tears welled up in his eyes. "Yan Xi, I'm going to get angry, stop making trouble."
The person in his arms showed no reaction. Mu Beichen closed his eyes in despair, crying softly, his arms hugging tighter and tighter.
Yu Zhiyi waited outside the hall for a long time. Just when he was worried that Mu Beichen would play tricks, the door of the hall opened with a creak.
Mu Beichen came out with an expressionless face and empty eyes, holding his son.
Seeing Yu Zhiyi, he lowered his head and said softly to the person in his arms: "Yanxi, look, I didn't lie to you, your father really came to see you."
Yu Zhiyi was delighted and strode forward. However, when he touched Yan Xi's pale, lifeless face, his smile gradually froze and he froze on the spot, "Xi'er..."
Xiao Lingzi standing by seemed to understand something, his legs softened, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Yu Zhiyi trembled as he held Yan Xi's hand. The cold and stiff feeling made him collapse. "No... this is not true, Xier, open your eyes and look at your father, Xier!"
Seeing this, Xiao Lingzi squeezed out a trembling voice: "Master Yu, Master Yu, he is gone. Please accept my condolences..."
Mu Beichen looked at him with a cold gaze and bloodshot eyes, "Nonsense, Yan Xi is not dead!"
The handsome man kept repeating these words, sometimes laughing softly, sometimes looking sad, like a madman.
Yu Zhiyi, who had lost his son again, looked at him like this, slowly closed his eyes, and said in a heavy tone, "Prince, what on earth did you do to him?"
Mu Beichen was stunned for a moment, his expression stiff, "Yeah, what did I do to him? Why did he leave me..."
He doesn't know.
Yu Zhiyi didn't know either.
No one can give this answer.
