Feng Ruqing returned to the palace. It was noon time. Bai Li seemed to be doing well today. During the time he was lingering on the sickbed, most of the state affairs were discussed by the old ministers, who only made the final decision for him.

Bai Li was actually not a good emperor. He grew up in a cold palace and did not understand many of the most basic things about being a king. After he ascended the throne, he was in a coma for a whole year. After he woke up, he rarely went to court.

Fortunately, thanks to the fact that Emperor Shengzhen was stupid and incompetent and liked to do bad things, and Kong Yun drove away all the descendants of Emperor Shengzhen, so even if he is a wooden man stuck in the hall, as long as he can breathe and say "I love you, I have decided", he will be fine.

He is a wise king.

Moreover, Feng Ruqing went to Huangquan to ask for Bai Li's resurrected minister, but now, with trust and even laissez-faire, he finally has room to show his talents.

He carried the shell of Pei Congnan who had accumulated power for a long time. After the complete collapse of the Queen Mother Kong Yun's party, "Pei Congnan" completely became the mainstay of the DPRK. He acted vigorously, vigorously and uprightly, which was rare in the DPRK.

What an opposition party.

And the best thing is that Bai Li can calm down and learn slowly. No matter how excessive the delegation of power is, he doesn't have to worry about "Pei Congnan", a dead person, having any evil intentions.

However, Bai Li's health was getting better, and the number of matters that needed to be decided personally began to increase. Today, after going to court, he and the ministers discussed state affairs for a long time in the government hall.

In the end, he was so dizzy and almost fainted that he was hurriedly sent back to Longqi Palace to rest.

Bai Li was also anxious to be with Feng Ruqing. He returned to the palace and stood at the door with strong support. He pushed back all the palace attendants and leaned against the door, panting for a long time.

He suppressed the sweet taste in his throat and clasped his thin fingers on the carvings of the palace door. He waited for a while before removing the crown that was weighing him down and letting down his white hair.

Bai Li grabbed his hair and looked at it for a while, with a bitter look in his eyes, but it passed quickly. He moved the corners of his mouth a few times, put on a natural smile, and then walked towards the palace.

"Qingqing, I'm back. What do you want for lunch today..." Bai Li opened the bed curtain and saw that there was no one on the bed. His voice paused for a moment, and his face changed drastically.

He searched around the back of the hall in a panic, but couldn't find the figure he was looking for, so he supported the table in the inner hall and spat out a mouthful of blood.

No one who vomits blood would be as calm as him.

Bai Li leaned on the table and gasped for a while, then reached out and touched the corners of his lips. Instead of asking the palace attendants to come in and clean up, he took out the brocade handkerchief from his arms and wiped away the blood.

He even cleaned up his blood-stained white hair, then sat in front of the desk in the front hall, picked up the memorial with a pen, and began to review it seemingly indifferently.

But only those who are very close to him can see that he is not as calm as he appears.

His face was much paler, his lips were blue, and he was in very bad spirits. He even felt dizzy and almost fainted. The fingers holding the pen were shaking finely, trying to keep his spirits up and refusing to rest.

He couldn't rest and didn't want to rest. Bai Li was afraid. He was afraid that if he took a rest, he would open his eyes again and find that time had changed and Feng Ruqing... was definitely gone.

She is already so powerful, she even made friends with the Ghost King in the Underworld Ghost Realm, how could she still protect him, a defeated mortal.

No matter how hard he pretended to be calm, he comforted himself that Feng Ruqing was just going out to play, just for a short while. After all, she would be bored after being with him for so many days.

But no matter how much he pretended to be indifferent or whitewashed the peace, he still felt infinite panic and even sadness in his heart. What would he do if she left just like that? He couldn't even complain.

She was good enough to him, really good enough, and for such a great favor as being resurrected from the dead, Bai Li didn't know how he could break his body into pieces and grind it into incense to burn out piety.

She made him feel that he was born as a human being and was no different from others. From the first day she took him, she had been overcoming obstacles for him and never gave up.

Bai Li knew that he should be content and let her go with gratitude.

He knew that he could no longer keep her. His body had cost so much to get back. He didn't dare to waste it easily, but he had no choice.

Even though he had been feeling it deeply every moment since he woke up, hugging her and getting close to her were unbearable pain and suffocation. He swallowed the sweet taste in his mouth countless times and opened his arms to her.

He couldn't help but be with her, he couldn't do it.

Bai Li asked himself that he was not a person who only thought about love. His difficult life had finally come to a smooth road. With life and death in hand, he could do many, many things.

But who cares?

Throughout his life, he had no relatives, no friends, and was truly a loner.

If she was gone, no one would expect him to be a good person, no one would look at him and look forward to his return from court, and his tablemates would eat without scruples.

Even if he was just imagining it, Bai Li felt like he was suspended in the sky, ready to fall and shatter into pieces at any moment, and then die silently at the bottom of the abyss, with no one caring or knowing.

People can't live without anyone caring about them.

Without Feng Ruqing, what would he lose more than just love?

So Bai Li concealed his feelings and only focused on being obsessed with her, feeling extremely guilty for the life she had fought so hard for him.

However, there was a heavier and louder voice telling him that without her, your life would have no meaning.

But now, Feng Ruqing, who was supposed to be waiting in his palace, suddenly disappeared. Bai Li knew that she must have noticed something. Where did she go? Where was the Ghost King of Underworld? What were she going to do?

Bai Li couldn't help but think wildly and couldn't control it at all. The knuckles holding the tip of the pen in his hand were turning white and ugly.

He couldn't see the words on the memorial clearly. The ink spots soaked the paper, but he looked down motionless.

Will she... not come back?

Bai Li sat in front of the table where the emperor decided life and death, and silently heartbroken over and over again.

But his evil spirits have never let him down, even once.

Feng Ruqing came back when he was on the verge of collapse. When he opened the palace door, what he saw was the blood flowing from the tip of Bai Li's nose and the cinnabar red dripping from the pen in his hand. It was impossible to tell which one was redder.

"Bai Li?" Feng Ruqing hurriedly stepped forward, "Why is there no one waiting in the hall? Are you bleeding again? Have you called the imperial doctor?!"

Bai Li looked at Feng Ruqing. After a moment, he stood up suddenly, knocked over a table of memorials and ink trays, and stumbled into Feng Ruqing's arms. He couldn't stand anymore and fell to his knees on the ground.

He hugged Feng Ruqing's waist in panic and begged, "Don't leave me, don't leave me, it doesn't matter to me, it really doesn't matter, I don't hurt, it doesn't hurt..."

At that time, the real dragon appeared during the sacrifice to heaven, and Bai Li was now the supreme king whom the people of the world expected.

But even the slightest words spoken by this king in the court were like a heavy hammer falling to the ground. The ministers wished that the noble man with gold on his head could kneel on the ground without any dignity, praying to an evil spirit not to leave him.

.

When Feng Ruqing saw him like this, she immediately understood that he had already known like her that there would be no harm in being together, even earlier and more than she knew.

"Will it hurt?" Feng Ruqing looked down at Bai Li and touched his white hair, "Where does it hurt? Let me rub it for you."

Bai Li burst into tears immediately, holding her waist and wiping the nosebleeds and tears on her body, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have wasted the life you gave me..."

"But..." Bai Li looked up at Feng Ruqing, "But I don't want you to leave. Don't leave, I'm afraid."

Feng Ruqing also had a sour nose, but her expression was very calm, "What are you afraid of? Young Master, the world is already at your feet."

"Liang Jing is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The country is rich and the people are strong. The people have no worries about food and clothing. The national treasury is overflowing. Now you have life and death in your hands. No one can do anything to you."

"You are the only royal bloodline in the world, and the ministers can't even frown at you but wish they could cheer you up," Feng Ruqing sighed, "If you were smarter, you would have noticed the abnormality and driven me away early.

"

Bai Li's arms tightened around Feng Ruqing's waist, "No!"

"No, don't go," Bai Li said, "I'm not smart, I've never been smart, I have no one else, no one anymore, and I don't need anyone."

"Don't leave me. I will eat well. Today at court, I also told the Taifu that I would take martial arts lessons like a prince and learn how to govern the country. I will drink ginseng soup three times a day. I won't

He died so easily."

He said these words very confidently, but he raised his head, and the nosebleeds that kept spilling refused to cooperate with him to pretend to be peaceful.

"I can remove some of the main body..."

"No!" Bai Li shook his head. He stood up holding Feng Ruqing, wiped his nose awkwardly, and said excitedly, "No, don't do that. I can't let you hurt yourself for me anymore. I don't like this.

You don’t like it either, so let’s not do that, okay?”

Feng Ruqing looked embarrassed, Bai Li grabbed her shoulders and said, "At least let me work hard once, at least once don't make me look like a complete waste, I will be good, you can just watch, okay?"

Feng Ruqing told the truth, "As long as I am with you now, you will continue to be consumed by me until you are completely consumed and eventually die ugly."

Bai Li wiped away the nosebleed that came out again, and hurriedly grabbed Feng Ruqing with his bloody hands, "It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter!"

"There is a solution." Feng Ruqing reached out and touched the blood on his face, "The Ghost King said that if you drink less Meng Po Soup, you can forget your feelings but not your memory. You..."

"No," Bai Li shook his head, and the tears that he had just stopped burst out again, "I don't want to forget my feelings, and I don't want to be afraid of drinking Meng Po soup. I know you are going to be angry and I will risk my life, but Qingqing, do you know

, you are my life now!"

Feng Ruqing knew that he would be like this, so it was impossible for her to secretly give Meng Po soup to him as Gong You said. She also made a mistake, and she would not be like Shi Zizhen, who refused to explain and just

If you serve someone wholeheartedly, you will act vigorously and resolutely.

Feng Ruqing hugged Bai Li's waist, threw herself into his skinny embrace, smiled and said, "Young Master's mouth is so sweet. You can say sweet words like this, how can I stay away from you."

Bai Li hugged Feng Ruqing tightly, and Feng Ruqing maintained this posture and spoke softly to him. Although the situation at this moment was different from her situation in Xuanyun Mountain at that time, Feng Ruqing still felt that,

She said to Bai Li, as if to her former self, "It's just that you have to know that if you don't let go, your life will be short."

Bai Li replied almost immediately, "I know!"

Feng Ruqing added, "Your life was not given by me, it was your own. I saw your fate and it was because I changed it. You can live a long time, so you don't need to be grateful to me."

Bai Li didn't seem surprised, and hugged Feng Ruqing tighter, "No matter how many times I choose again, if I knew, I would choose you without hesitation."

Feng Ruqing laughed and finally said, "Then let me tell you what to do when we are together. Don't get excited and be obedient. I will always be with you, okay?"

Bai Li nodded like he was pounding garlic.

Feng Ruqing said, "We can't be in the same place every day. This will do too much damage to you. Why don't we just come to you in ten days, and it will be convenient for you to recover."

Bai Li moved his lips several times, but in the end he didn't refute. Feng Ruqing said, "Don't think about it the rest of the time. The concubines in the harem can't meet with the emperor every day. It's okay."

Bai Li hummed, and Feng Ruqing said again, "I know you want to marry me, but I have an evil body, and you have the aura of the purple dragon in your body, and you are still overcome by me. If you were an ordinary person, you would stay by my side."

I'm afraid I'm going to the ghost realm in the past few days, so there's no need to harm anyone."

"It would be really pitiful for me to be alone in the deep palace, so in the meantime, I went to the underworld to help the Ghost King with some things. After all, I asked him to help me many times, and I really feel sorry for it."

Bai Li calmed down completely. What Feng Ruqing said was already the best solution. He believed it when she said it.

Feng Ruqing let go of him a little, pulled him to wash up, and continued, "Ten days don't last long, right? As the saying goes, a goodbye is better than a wedding. If you and I don't get married, having an affair is the same, but the taste may be more beautiful."

Bai Li laughed through tears, and Feng Ruqing raised the corners of her mouth when she saw someone laughing. When he bent down to wash his face, she held his long hair in her hands.

"Also," Feng Ruqing's voice was extremely soft, fearing that the butterflies in her hands would fly away if her breath was slightly louder, "if you get tired of me one day and fall in love with a mortal woman, or if the ministers press me too hard, I will ask you to

Marry a queen and have a concubine, no matter what it is, as long as you want to live a normal life, all you need to do is hang a red silk cloth on the window within the agreed time, and I will never come to look for you again, okay?"

Bai Li froze and gritted his teeth to listen to Feng Ruqing's last words. Then he stood up and turned around, hooked his arm around the back of Feng Ruqing's neck and lowered his head to kiss her.

It's extremely lingering, slightly bloody, but also extremely sweet.
