Qin Shuhuai was at a loss as to what to do with Qin Peng.

He was so weak now, and with Qin Peng squeezing him like that, he didn't have the strength to push her away. And he didn't know why, but she leaned against him like that, and he vaguely thought of Zhao Peng.

He wanted to ask her to stay away, but the long-lost feeling of familiarity stopped him.

He closed his eyes, and for some reason, he felt a little hopeless.

"Qin Peng," he said hoarsely, "Have you ever had a feeling?"

"What does it feel like?"

"When a person is underwater, he will struggle desperately to grab anything he can, even if it is a floating grass. Even if he knows that the floating grass cannot save him, he still wants to grab it."

Just like him at this moment, he knew clearly that this person was not that person, but he still couldn't control himself. He wanted to pretend in this dark night that the person was still alive and still existed, to comfort his heart that had been despaired and exhausted.

But he also knew that the person was irreplaceable, which was why he was so desperate.

Qin Peng didn't say anything. She leaned against Qin Shuhuai and said in a daze, "What you said is too profound. I don't understand."

"I don't understand..." Qin Shuhuai listened to this and felt that this was the kind of words that person could say. He closed his eyes and said slowly, "Then you don't understand."

After saying that, Qin Shuhuai stopped talking. Qin Peng leaned against him and felt a little cold, so he simply pulled Qin Shuhuai's hand up and put it on his shoulder. He let his sleeves fall on his body like a blanket, found a suitable posture, and fell asleep.

She fell asleep, but Qin Shuhuai couldn't sleep. He opened his eyes in the dark night and began to slowly recall.

That year, Qin Peng tricked him out of the study using information about his mother. After playing with her for a day, when the two of them fell into a hunter's hunting pit, Qin Peng leaned on him like this. He put his arm around her shoulders and used his sleeves to keep her warm.

He didn't know what happened to him, but he felt that in this dark night, his willpower suddenly became extremely weak. He stared at the darkness with his eyes closed. For the first time in the sixth year after Zhao Peng's death, he didn't feel so sad.

Having a little hope and a little illusion was a great happiness for Qin Shuhuai, who had been drowning for six years. So he kept his eyes open and didn't dare to sleep, pretending that Zhao Peng was still alive, and let himself be trapped in the scene when he and Zhao Peng hid in the hunter's pit when he was fourteen years old.

When Qin Peng woke up the next day, Qin Shuhuai was a little confused.

The sunlight came in, giving Qin Shuhuai's face an abnormal blush. Qin Peng initially thought it was caused by the sun, but soon realized that Qin Shuhuai was sick.

She raised her hand and touched Qin Shuhuai's face, and found that Qin Shuhuai was all hot. Qin Peng couldn't help but feel proud, and patted Qin Shuhuai's face and said, "God has his own way. You feed me poison? You're in trouble, aren't you?"

Qin Shuhuai didn't say anything, he just held Qin Peng's hand.

He looked at her with anxiety in his eyes. Qin Peng was stunned for a moment, then heard him say, "Peng Peng."

The voice was weak, urgent and gentle. Qin Peng was stunned for a moment. For some reason, his heart softened.

She glanced outside, thinking that Qin Shuhuai must have been burned out. She couldn't even get the antidote, so she could only sigh, resigned herself to her fate, carried Qin Shuhuai on her back, and walked out, cursing as she walked: "Consider it my fault, forget it."

Qin Shuhuai lay on her back, calling her name in a daze.

Pengpeng, don't go, Pengpeng.

Qin Peng was annoyed by his yelling and couldn't help but curse, "Stop yelling!"

If he really loved her so much and missed her so much, why did he kill her?

Since you've killed me, why can't you let it go? Why are you pretending to be affectionate here?

It's not that she didn't give him a chance. Others said that she, Zhao Peng, was heartless, and she thought so too. But when she was young, she also thought that if she had to open a window for someone in this world, she thought that person should be Qin Shuhuai.

The reason why she married him, and the reason why she chose to protect him in the treacherous palace situation back then, was that she wanted to give herself a chance and give him a chance.

She may not have loved her as ordinary people say, but in her life, she has given what she thinks is the most love to this person. Since she has let her down, she should stop being hypocritical.

Qin Peng was disgusted by Qin Shuhuai's hypocritical behavior and thought that this man was absolutely despicable.

Why didn't she realize back then that Qin Shuhuai was so unable to let go of someone?

But her roar did not reach Qin Shuhuai's ears. Qin Shuhuai seemed to be trapped in a dream, with his brows furrowed, his body trembling slightly, and he was talking nonsense.

Qin Peng slowly got used to it from the initial annoyance. She walked out of the forest with Qin Shuhuai on her back with a blank expression and walked out along the river. Not long after they walked, they heard the sound of horse hooves. She quickly took Qin Shuhuai into the jungle and saw soldiers searching along the river. Qin Peng waited quietly for a while. When she saw Jiang Chun, she breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the bushes, and said to Jiang Chun: "Master Jiang, here!"

Jiang Chun rushed over immediately when he heard Qin Peng's voice. When he saw Qin Shuhuai leaning against a tree and unconscious, his face immediately changed.

He hurried over to check on Qin Shuhuai's injuries, and said to others, "Go and get the doctor and General Wei! Tell them we've found him!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chun looked at the wound on Qin Shuhuai's body and asked anxiously, "How did it become like this?"

"We met the killer on the way, and I don't know who sent him," Qin Peng sighed and said with regret, "The Regent fought bravely with the killer and accidentally fell off the cliff. I fell off the cliff to save him, but was saved by a tree. However, the Regent also broke his leg. I had no choice but to carry the Regent out on my back. I didn't expect that he had a high fever due to his serious injuries..."

Jiang Chun said nothing and just listened to Qin Peng's nonsense.

He now knew that the princess' words could not be trusted. Judging from the mud on Qin Shuhuai's body, the princess may have carried Qin Shuhuai out with great effort, and the process may have included actions such as "rolling" and "kicking".

Qin Peng admitted this. When she was too tired, she would put Qin Shuhuai down and let him roll forward with his hands and feet. But she still had some conscience and was afraid of accidentally killing him, so she would roll him for a while and carry him for a while.

While Jiang Chun was examining, Wei Yan and the doctor also arrived.

Wei Yan rushed over anxiously, saw Qin Peng, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

"It's okay," Qin Peng waved his hands, turned around and looked at Qin Shuhuai who was being rescued by the doctor, and said with a bow, "Prince, you should have a good rest. I'm leaving now, okay?"

After saying this, Qin Peng was about to stand up and leave. But at this moment, Qin Shuhuai held his hand tightly.

"Don't go..." He said hoarsely, holding her tightly: "Don't go..."

Qin Peng was stunned for a moment, and Wei Yan's face changed instantly. He stepped forward and tried to pull Qin Shuhuai away. Seeing his rude movements, Jiang Chun shouted, "What are you doing!" and pulled Wei Yan back.

The four of them were in a stalemate. Qin Shuhuai held Qin Peng tightly and kept saying, "Peng Peng... don't go..."

Wei Yan's face changed drastically. He looked up at Jiang Chun and said coldly, "Get out of the way! Don't let your master do anything indecent!"

Jiang Chun was also a little embarrassed, but still said: "The prince is not in his right mind now, I will do it, how can you be so rude?"

"Then pull it!" Wei Yan shook off Qin Shuhuai's hand and yelled, "Just do it! If you don't do it, I'll chop it off, okay?"

Jiang Chun glared at Wei Yan and reached out to pull Qin Shuhuai.

But Qin Shuhuai pulled so tightly that every finger turned white.

Qin Peng lowered his eyes and looked at the man who seemed to be grasping at the only straw in his life. He couldn't help laughing, but asked Jiang Chun: "When the prince called me Peng Peng, did he mean me?"

Jiang Chun was fighting with Qin Shuhuai. When he heard Qin Peng's words, he quickly explained, "No, no, the prince is now unconscious. The princess was called Zhao Peng, and she died early. The prince was calling her, so please don't misunderstand."

"Can you do it?" Wei Yan was a little impatient, and raised his knife and said, "If you can't do it, I'll chop you off?"

"General Wei, please stop making trouble!"

Jiang Chun yelled loudly, and whispered in Qin Shuhuai's ear: "Prince, please let go. This is not my wife. Please, please stop making trouble."

Seeing Jiang Chun's reaction, Qin Peng found it a little funny. Her wrist had already turned blue, but she didn't think it was a big deal. She looked down at Qin Shuhuai and said with a smile, "The prince is really affectionate."

"Yes," Jiang Chun pointed at Qin Shuhuai's fingers one by one and said with difficulty, "She has been dead for six years, but the prince still thinks about her every day. He even adds a set of bowls and chopsticks for her to eat every day, and buys her clothes, rouge, powder and jewelry when he has nothing to do, as if she is still alive. Princess... our prince is a little irrational in this matter, please don't be offended."

Qin Peng didn't say anything. She lowered her eyes and looked at Qin Shuhuai, unable to describe the feeling in her heart.

Qin Shuhuai seemed to be forced into a corner by Jiang Chun. He didn't know whether he was conscious or unconscious, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

There was moisture in those eyes, clear and anxious. She just looked at Qin Peng quietly and suddenly spoke.

"Peng Peng..."

Seeing Qin Shuhuai's eyes, Qin Shuhuai didn't say the rest of the sentence, and Qin Peng also knew it.

She had seen this kind of look before. It was many years ago, when they had just gotten married, they had a fight, and he came to see her.

That time, it was because he was too focused on studying and lost her favorite little rabbit. That was it, but he still had the nerve to argue with her. She was so angry that she was shaking, and she planned to go back to the palace to find Zhao Yu.

Who would have thought that after she returned to the palace, this man would go looking for the rabbit. He was so anxious that he didn't even put on his coat, and when he finally found it, his body was covered with snow, which had melted into ice.

He came to the palace to find her, but Zhao Yu stopped him from seeing her. As a result, this man really did not leave. When Qin Peng knew he was there, she realized that he had been standing outside for an hour.

When she opened the door, the man's lips were already blue and purple from being frozen, but he still remembered to put the little rabbit in his arms and hold it close to his body for fear that the rabbit would get cold.

He was trembling all over. He raised his eyes and looked at her quietly. His eyes, which were always clear and calm, were full of her.

His voice was trembling, but he was still so serious and spoke every word.

Pengpeng, please come home with me.

Now, ten years later, she heard these words again.

He said, "Peng Peng, come home with me, okay?"

When he said this, his expression and tone were exactly the same as they were back then, which made Qin Peng feel heartbroken.

She couldn't breathe for a moment. She had so many whys to ask, but she found that she had the answers to all these questions.

So she could only smile and speak calmly: "My Lord, you pinched me so hard that it hurt."

She didn't know whether the man heard it or not. After all, they talked so much and he didn't hear it.

But after saying this, Qin Shuhuai was stunned as if he understood what she meant.

He stared at her blankly and slowly let go of her hand.

Qin Peng stood up, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and calmly wrapped it around his blue wrist. Qin Shuhuai closed his eyes and fainted.

Qin Peng looked at Wei Yan, who seemed to be thinking about something, with a smile on his face: "Uncle, let's go?"

Wei Yan came back to his senses and nodded, "Ah? Oh."

Having said that, he followed Qin Peng and left.

Qin Shuhuai was deeply trapped in his dream. In the dream, Zhao Peng was in his arms, she was grabbing his clothes on his chest, her face full of pain.

"Shu Huai...it hurts...it hurts so much..."

He watched her pain and despair, but he could do nothing.

He could only hold her tightly, his tears dripping into her clothes.

"sorry……"

"sorry……"

He spoke again and again, but the man continued to struggle desperately.

Those were the only words she said, and they slashed at him like a knife or a sword, leaving blood everywhere.

She said, Shuhuai, it hurts so much.
