At night, Gu Chen held Xu Jinyi tightly in his arms.
When Xu Jinyi was gasping for breath, Gu Chen suddenly stopped and asked with a sour tone, "Who is that man today?"
"Xiao Chenchen, you are jealous."
Gu Chen: "Yes, I'm jealous. Tell me, who is that man?"
Xu Jinyi took the initiative to put her arms around his neck: "Your savior, silly."
"She's the Queen Mother's confidante, why are you jealous?"
Gu Chen was satisfied and kissed her with a smile on his face.
Xu Jinyi knew that she didn't have much time left, so she tried very hard to pester Gu Chen for the next two days and didn't even leave the room.
The maids couldn't help but sigh at the two men's good physical strength.
In the silent night, Xu Jinyi suddenly opened her eyes, and without Gu Chen knowing, she stayed awake all night until dawn.
The next morning, Xu Jinyi carried a small box, took Gu Chen and five children into the palace to visit the empress.
"Queen Mother, this little box is for you. It contains your daughter and my love for you."
The empress took it with a smile, but found that it was locked with a key.
"What is so mysterious and locked?"
"I won't tell you. Someone will give you the key."
After seeing the Empress and Feng Jun, Xu Jinyi returned to the mansion and kissed the three children lovingly, then pulled Gu Chen back to her room.
Gu Chen felt that something was wrong with Xu Jinyi today, but he couldn't tell why.
Xu Jinyi could feel the growing weakness in his body, and knew that he was about to fall into a deep sleep.
She pulled Gu Chen to sit on the bed, and then she lay on his thighs. Looking at Gu Chen, her eyes slowly became moist.
She didn't know how to tell him that she couldn't be with him anymore.
She closed her eyes and tears rolled out. Xu Jinyi turned her head and covered her eyes with her hands.
This look scared Gu Chen, because the woman in front of him was obviously lively, cheerful and outspoken.
This has never happened before: "What's wrong, Jiaojiao? Who bullied you?"
Xu Jinyi hugged his waist, buried her head in it, and just cried.
"Dear...tell me what's wrong?"
It took Xu Jinyi a while to calm down. She wiped her tears with his clothes and sniffed.
"Achen, I'm sleepy." Xu Jinyi said this in a choked voice.
"Then I'll sleep with you for a while?" Gu Chen still hadn't realized the deeper meaning of Xu Jinyi's words.
"Next, I might become a little lazy and sleep a little longer, is that okay?"
Gu Chen just felt that something was wrong with her, and her expression made him feel uneasy.
Xu Jinyi tried her best to put on her most beautiful smile: "Achen, have I ever told you that I love you very much?"
"From the time we met on the mountain to now, more than a year has passed so quickly. I wish I had known you earlier."
Gu Chen held her hand tightly, his heart beating like thunder: "Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you? What are you talking about?"
"Achen, after I fall asleep, you must be well even without me by your side. Promise me, okay?"
Gu Chen stared at her intently, panicking and at a loss: "What are you talking about? What do you mean by not having you by your side? What's wrong with you?"
"Don't panic, Chen. I'm fine. I just need to sleep for a very long time. Please take good care of our child while I'm asleep, okay?"
Thinking of something, Gu Chenwei gasped: "It's the Gu in my body, what did you do?"
Xu Jinyi knew that he was always smart, so she didn't intend to hide it from him. She raised her hand and touched his face.
"Don't blame yourself, Chen. I did it willingly. I'm very happy for the year I've spent in exchange. I have no regrets in this life."
"I just can't bear to leave you. I feel sorry for you." Xu Jinyi felt as if his spirit was being drained away bit by bit, and his eyelids became heavier.
"No, no, no, Jiaojiao, don't sleep. Tell me what you did? How can I save you?"
Xu Jinyi shook her head: "Achen, can you kiss me again? I'm a little sleepy."
Gu Chen suppressed his sadness and kissed her. Their tears mixed together. Xu Jinyi smiled, but she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and her hands drooped weakly.
Looking at Xu Jinyi who suddenly fainted, Gu Chen's mind went blank and his heart was empty.
"Jiaojiao, wake up, this joke is not funny at all." Gu Chen pushed her.
"Are you kidding me? You want to play hide and seek?"
"Is it because I've been spending more time with the kids lately and have neglected you, so you're angry?"
Gu Chen murmured to himself, with no anger in his eyes, only tears flowing silently in his eyes.
"Jiaojiao, wake up, our baby needs you. I need you too..." Gu Chen choked.
"Jiaojiao, please wake up..."
The maids outside the door didn't know what had happened. They only knew that after a while, a desperate roar like that of a wild beast was heard from the room.
Mr. Wen came, stood at the door, sighed and shook his head, then knocked on the door.
As if he knew no one would come to open the door, Mr. Wen spoke to himself, "When Your Highness made this decision a year ago, he knew this day would come."
"You are the one she loves with her life..."
Before Mr. Wen could finish his words, Gu Chen opened the door with bloodshot eyes.
Mr. Wen handed over the small box in his hand: "This is the letter she left for you. The date is written on it. I hope you will read it according to the date."
Gu Chen stared at the box. It was the same box that Xu Jinyi gave to the empress that morning, except that his box had no lock.
Gu Chen didn't answer, and asked in a hoarse voice: "A year ago, you saved me?"
Mr. Wen knew what he wanted to ask and told him everything one by one.
"Her Highness loves you very much, more than her own. She hopes you live well."
This wasn't the result Gu Chen wanted: "Is there really no chance of waking her up?"
Mr. Wen couldn't bear to give up all his hope, so he could only give him an ambiguous answer: "As long as you're still alive, there's hope, right? I'll definitely work hard to find a way in my lifetime."
As if grasping the last straw, Gu Chen's eyes showed a glimmer of hope, and his brows relaxed: "You are right, we can't just give up like this, there must be another way to treat me."
"A year ago, she took care of me, and now it's my turn to take care of her."
Mr. Wen said with a smile, "Yes, you can't fall down. The child needs you, and she needs you too."
Gu Chen nodded, took the box, and said incoherently: "Yes, I still have to wait for her to wake up, I want to accompany her."
After meeting Gu Chen, Mr. Wen took the jade pendant that Xu Jinyi had given him in advance and went into the palace.
The empress couldn't believe what she heard: "Jiaojiao was fine this morning, how could something happen to her? What happened?"
The empress was furious.
