His voice was strained, and his breathing was somewhat rapid.
Even though he knew it was all an illusion, in his illusion, it was all Ye Qingxue, and another Ye Qingxue was doing such cruel and bloody things...
He felt as if his real world had completely collapsed.
Who is he? Where is he? Is he still alive?
Ye Qingxue took his hand and said in a calm and steady voice, "Walk past her and see how she reacts."
Ye Qingxue gently pulled Yun Zhuo up from the bed. Yun Zhuo's breath caught in her throat, but she did not refuse her.
The warmth from Ye Qingxue's palm traveled to his own, giving him strength, and he took a step forward.
Ye Qingxue followed him, observing his expression. After walking about three or five steps, he suddenly stopped, immediately looked up at the window, his breathing became rapid, and his face turned extremely pale.
Yun Zhuo suddenly reached out, as if trying to grab something, but Ye Qingxue observed his expression and realized that he probably hadn't grabbed anything.
In an instant, he was drenched in sweat, closed his eyes tightly, swayed precariously, and braced his hands on the table in front of him.
After a few moments, Ye Qingxue poured him a glass of water. Yun Zhuo took it and drank it all in one gulp before sitting down in the chair with a sigh of relief.
"Has she left? Tell me the details." Ye Qingxue stood next to him, her hand on Yun Zhuo's shoulder.
“I walked toward her, and she kept smiling at me, just like your smile on a normal day…” Yun Zhuo said.
That's why he found it hard to resist, even though he knew in his heart that it was fake. The person looked exactly like Ye Qingxue, from her clothes and hairstyle to the jade pendant at her waist.
The smile on her face was exactly the same as Ye Qingxue's.
"I walked up to her, and she turned and ran away. When I looked up again, she was already outside the window, turning her head to smile at me as she ran..."
In that instant, he felt that Ye Qingxue was about to leave him.
When he reached out and grabbed nothing, he felt as if the sky had fallen and the whole world had shattered.
Yun Zhuo closed his eyes wearily, pulled Ye Qingxue into his arms, let her sit on his lap, held her tightly, and felt her body temperature.
Ye Qingxue wrapped her arms around his neck: "Now all the illusions are gone, right?"
Yun Zhuo responded with a hoarse "Mmm".
"From now on, I'll use some special spices. When you smell this special fragrance, you'll be able to identify me without any code."
Ye Qingxue is very worried now. She is worried that in Yun Zhuo's illusion, the other woman can give the code, because it is all his illusion and not someone deliberately impersonating him.
The code can only distinguish the real her from the imposter.
"Okay." Yun Zhuo took a deep breath, cupped Ye Qingxue's face, kissed her hard, and pretended to be nonchalant: "It's time to have breakfast."
Since he was poisoned, Ye Qingxue has been the one who has been holding his hand and leading him forward. He cannot remain trapped in this fear and pain, and he cannot let Ye Qingxue face everything for him.
He cannot do that.
Ye Qingxue smiled, trying to lighten the mood: "His Highness the Crown Prince hasn't washed or dressed yet after getting up."
Yun Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then reached out to tickle Ye Qingxue's waist: "You dare to dislike me, Crown Princess! Even if you dislike me, I already kissed you just now! It's too late to complain now!"
Ye Qingxue was tickled and laughed so hard she almost choked.
However, after this commotion, the couple felt much more relaxed. Ye Qingxue asked someone to bring in water and personally "served" Yun Zhuo to wash, dress, and change before the two went to the dining hall for breakfast.
It was only just getting light.
After finishing breakfast, Yun Zhuo was about to go out to work when Ye Qingxue suddenly exclaimed "Oh dear!" and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I originally wanted to see you off myself, but I suddenly have a stomachache, so you'll have to go out by yourself."
Looking at her expression full of life, Yun Zhuo felt a sweet warmth in his heart and couldn't help but smile.
"Go ahead, don't worry about me. If you're hungry tonight, eat first, don't wait for me. I might be back late."
The Minister of Works was already waiting for him outside the Crown Prince's residence. After Ye Qingxue left the dining hall, Yun Zhuo also turned and walked outside.
Zhuang Xin had already prepared the carriage and was waiting for him outside the door.
Just as Yun Zhuo was about to walk out of the hanging flower gate, he heard someone call his name from behind. He turned around and saw Ye Qingxue. He smiled and said, "Didn't you say you had a stomachache? What brings you here?"
“I asked someone to prepare some snacks in advance. You’re busy outside and I’m afraid you won’t be able to eat on time. Having some snacks with you so you won’t go hungry.”
"You don't need to go to such trouble. I can skip a meal or two without worry." Yun Zhuo took the snacks and, seeing the Minister of Works gazing in their direction, gave Ye Qingxue a reluctant look before turning and striding out.
He didn't see that "Ye Qingxue" behind him was staring at his back, then gave a cold laugh.
But when "Ye Qingxue" turned around, she saw the real Ye Qingxue standing under the eaves not far away.
