"Why have you been sleeping more and more recently? Are you really not feeling well? I should ask a doctor to check you out."
Qi Yichen's eyes revealed worry. Xu Jinyi had been sleeping more and more recently, and he seemed to have no energy to do anything.
Qi Yichen suggested calling a doctor several times, but Xu Jinyi refused.
Xu Jinyi forced a smile with a pale face, put her arms around his neck, and gently kissed him between his frowning brows.
"I'm really fine. I know my body well. I've just been a little tired lately and have been sleeping a lot. I just need to rest."
Xu Jinyi's comfort did not reassure Qi Yichen. Instead, he felt that Xu Jinyi was hiding something from him.
Xu Jinyi knew that this body had reached the end of its life, and even if she tried hard to pretend that nothing was wrong, she was powerless.
For some reason, Qi Yichen always felt uneasy. Unless necessary, he would hardly leave Xu Jinyi for too long.
Xu Jinyi's physical symptoms became more and more obvious, and he even lay weakly in bed during the day.
The delicate little face is getting thinner day by day.
Qi Yichen's eyes were red. He held her hands tightly, hugged her in his arms, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Xu Jinyi raised her hands and hugged him back.
"You know." Xu Jinyi said in an affirmative tone.
"Yier." Qi Yichen did not answer, but called her name over and over again with a choked voice.
There was nostalgia, reluctance and heartache in his tone.
When Xu Jinyi repeatedly refused Qi Yichen's request to see a doctor, Qi Yichen knew something was wrong.
While Xu Jinyi was unconscious, Qi Yichen called a doctor.
The panic in his heart was confirmed, and Qi Yichen ran to the corner of the valley and cried bitterly.
It was not until Xu Jinyi was about to wake up that I calmed down and went back to see her.
He knew that Xu Jinyi didn't want him to worry and didn't want him to know, so he pretended not to know.
But now, seeing the health of the woman he loved so much deteriorating, Qi Yichen finally couldn't hold it anymore.
"Why? Why is this happening? You're so young, how could you possibly die before me? Why is that?"
"Is it because of the Forest of Strange Things? Is it because of my legs?" Qi Yichen held Xu Jinyi's shoulders, his eyes bloodshot.
Xu Jinyi shook her head, snuggled into his arms, looked at him with loving eyes and smiled.
"Qi Yichen, I like you very much. If possible, I want to stay."
But she has thought of all the options, and she can't stay with you until old age in this life.
Xu Jinyi raised her hand and touched his face: "I still want to go to many, many places with you, eat all the delicious food in the world, and see the most beautiful scenery."
"But I'm sorry, I can't accompany you."
"Don't be sad when I'm gone. We'll definitely meet again in the next life, and I'll give birth to your children."
Qi Yichen hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to keep her by his side forever.
For the first time, he discovered that love could be so sweet and yet so painful.
It makes people so hard to let go.
Xu Jinyi's condition became worse and worse, and in the end she could only lie weakly in bed, and even needed Qi Yichen to feed her.
Xu Jinyi lay on the bed, looking at the man who was pretending to be strong. Thinking of how this man secretly got up and sobbed at night, her eyes were slightly red and her nose was sore.
When Qi Yichen turned around, she quickly put on a smiling face again, as if it wasn't her just now.
"Qi Yichen, the sun is shining brightly today. I want to go out and see the sea of flowers."
"Okay, I'll carry you over."
Xu Jinyi shook her head: "Call Baizhi over. I haven't done my makeup in so many days. I want to put on some beautiful makeup."
Looking at Xu Jinyi's pale, bloodless face, Qi Yichen could hardly hold back the tears in his eyes.
He turned his face away, stood up and walked out, not wanting Xu Jinyi to see the sadness in his eyes.
Ever since he discovered that Xu Jinyi was not feeling well, Qi Yichen wrote a letter and sent it back to the palace as quickly as possible.
Bring Baizhi and the two imperial physicians here.
Bai Zhi tried hard to smile and put blush on Xu Jinyi to make her look better.
Staring at the sick beauty in the mirror, Xu Jinyi smiled with ease.
He took out Bai Zhi's indenture contract and a stack of banknotes from his arms.
"After I leave, Baizhi, you will be free. Take the money and buy a house in the capital and bring your parents to live with you."
"Then find a good family to marry into. This money will be enough for you to buy a house and a nice dowry."
Bai Zhi looked at the heavy stack of papers, sniffed, and held back her tears.
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Bai Zhi will serve you for the rest of her life."
"Here, in my heart, you are like my sister. If I leave, you don't have to go back to the palace to be a maid."
"Take the money and find someone who is down-to-earth and treats you well and marry him."
Xu Jinyi stuffed all the things into her arms, then called Qi Yichen and reached out to him.
Holding the little girl in his arms, Qi Yichen walked towards the sea of flowers outside.
Bai Zhi waited until the two men were far away before she dared to burst into tears.
Qi Yichen sat on the ground holding Xu Jinyi. After all this trouble, Xu Jinyi was actually very tired.
But she still endured it, trying to cheer herself up, looking at the man's face with great reluctance.
"Qi Yichen, do you love me?"
"Love, I love you the most." Qi Yichen said without hesitation.
Xu Jinyi smiled: "Then promise me one thing, okay?"
"After I die, you can't commit suicide, and you can't come down so early to accompany me."
"Our children still need you to go back and escort them."
Half a year ago, when they came to live here, they went back to see a few of the children.
The children are well taken care of by their grandparents. The little ones can run and jump, and are very cute.
After seeing a few children, Xu Jinyi felt relieved and she had no plans to go back.
I owed my children so much by not being with them these past few years. I couldn't let them watch her die.
At this time, Qi Yichen was already in tears.
The corners of his eyes and the tip of his nose turned red: "No, it's okay. We still have a lot of places to go. You won't abandon me, right?"
Xu Jinyi grabbed his hand and intertwined their fingers.
"Qi Yichen, after I die, you may be in pain, despair, and sadness, but you must believe that we will meet, know each other, and love each other again in the next life."
"So, promise me that you will live well and don't give up your life easily, okay?"
Qi Yichen buried his head in her neck and shook his head: "This is too cruel for me. Without you, every day is torture, and every day is full of despair."
Xu Jinyi was quiet for a moment, taking a breath. "Then promise me that you will at least live until the child is sixteen and an adult, and can stand on his own, okay?"
"good."
