I don't know how long it was, when I was almost out of breath, he finally kissed the corner of my lips lightly, and then held me limply in his arms. The familiar light scent of ambergris was in my smell, and I could hear the "thumping" of my heartbeat while I was still dazed, and I didn't know if it was his or mine.
I took a few breaths and forced myself to regain some sanity. I couldn't cross the line again. If I continued like this, I thought I would forget that I was just playing the role of Mu Zhaoyi...
I will sink.
I gently pushed him away with my hand and took a few steps back. When others saw me, they just lowered their heads and looked at me with the shyness of a little girl.
He subconsciously grabbed my arm but didn't say anything. It was extremely quiet. Ah Fu had already led Xiao Cui and the followers out of my sight. Only a bright lamp was still placed at their feet, emitting a faint light.
The sounds of our breathing mixed together. I lowered my head and looked at the circle of light under my feet. He still held my arm without moving.

He didn't continue, but just leaned over and buried his head in my shoulder, pressing against my thick jacket. His gradually steady breathing was clearly audible.
"Your Majesty..." I tried cautiously.
"Yeah." He responded softly, but showed no intention of leaving.
"I..." I tried to push him gently, trying to create some distance between us.
But my little effort was of little use. He raised his head slightly, and I felt a rush of heat beside my ear. "No need to call me 'concubine'."
"Also," his voice was now low and hoarse, more alluring than usual, and I felt my whole body go numb. "I seem to be poisoned... your poison."
"And I... don't want to solve it at all."
