"Xin'er, why do I feel like you don't look well?" Liu Lieyu checked my pulse with his hand.
My heart skipped a beat. Surely the excessive blood loss wouldn't be noticeable...
"Really?" I touched my face guiltily.
Liu Lieyu withdrew his hand, his gaze sweeping over me. "Your face was rosy before I left, but now it's rather pale."
I chuckled and snuggled up to Liu Lieyu's arm, saying sweetly, "Of course I missed you after you've been gone for so long. I haven't even left the house these past few days."
"Really?" Liu Lieyu was quite pleased with my coquettishness.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask the people outside. I haven’t left this room since you left.” Actually, what I said was true. I’ve been staying at home all this time, either bleeding or eating and watching TV. In order to reduce Liu Lieyu’s suspicion, I haven’t stepped out of the house.
"Okay, I believe you." Liu Lieyu looked at me affectionately and reached out to gently pinch the tip of my nose. "I'm leaving now. I have a lot of things to do. I'll come find you after I've dealt with them."
"Okay." I nodded obediently and let go of Liu Lieyu's arm.
After leaving a kiss on my lips, Liu Lieyu disappeared again, just as he had when he arrived.
I sighed, lay back down on the bed, covered my head with the blanket, and closed my eyes. These days would soon be over, and I would no longer have to please Liu Lieyu.
I've been asking Fei Yan to send someone to keep an eye on You's situation. Recently, You has been staying indoors all the time, so I can't really tell what's going on with her.
I can only wait until we're about to leave and have Fei Yan knock out "You" and take her out first. Ever since I tried to please Liu Lieyu and deliberately distanced myself from "You", Liu Lieyu has been neglecting "You".
At first, I heard that "You" tried to see Liu Lieyu several times to ask for some benefits, but Liu Lieyu ignored him and after being taught a lesson a few times, he calmed down.
You's brothers are truly disgusting, especially since they're using You's body to do disgusting things. I wonder if they'll use You's body to find other women. Just thinking about it makes my scalp crawl. I remember one of You's brothers was extremely lustful...
Yu shouldn't be dead, right...? I clenched my fists, trying to reassure myself. But the more I tried to convince myself, the less hopeful I became. If Yu was alright, she would have come to find me long ago. Why has she been dragging this out for so long? Could it be that Yu's soul has truly perished?
I wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes. Now is not the time to cry. Now it's my turn to rely on myself.
After calming myself down, I got out of bed and checked myself in the mirror again, making sure I looked perfect before opening the door and going to the living room.
This time, Zifang sat obediently on the sofa, and miraculously, the television was not turned on.
I went over, turned on the TV, put on Gu Yue, which Zi Teng liked, and then sat down next to her.
Wisteria's gaze was immediately drawn to the television, while I idly picked at my nails, lost in thought.
Wisteria suddenly spoke, startling me, "Your Majesty, I should be leaving soon."
I paused, picking at my nails, then continued, glancing up at the wisteria. "Are you sure?"
Zifang nodded. "My aunt is probably discussing this with Donghuang right now."
I also turned my gaze to the television screen that was displaying the image. "Take care."
Wisteria smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm very capable. No one can bully me. As for you and my aunt, well, never mind."
