The pain is so clear

It really hurts ah

She grits her teethCold sweat for of coldness is as clear as the pain in her calfShe grasp her hands

After a while, the blood flowing out froradually turns redHe takes the bottle and sprinkle it’s powdery content onto her wound

“Chenqie—-“ she looks over to see if he finish sprinkling the powderJust as she said that word, he looks up and stares at herShe cannot find it in her to look backShe looks down and continues her sentence, “—thanks the Emperor”

After saying that, she gets upHer legs are frail, she can barely moveShe holds into a pillar and suddenly finds out that she can see the eastern part of the city through some trees not too far away

She lowers her eyes as it turns misty

She is suddenly in the air again as he lifts her up and walk towards the direction she was staring at

She wants to break free fros are too weak, she will not be able to walk there by herself

At that veryQin wang sloalking out of the ive off solemn atmosphere

There are white things floating around the procession, she doesn’t know if it’s snow or paper money

Her body trehter

Did he think she was cold?

The truth is she isn’t cold at allJust, her heart cannot feel any warmth

She must not cry

It is considered disrespectful to shed tears in front of the rulerSo she cannot cry

She looks upThe tears that are originally about to fall retreats back to the corner of her heart

All of her pain and bitternesswith it

“Your Majesty, can you put chenqie down?” she asks softly

The hands that are holding her hesitates a bit, but in the end follows her request and place her downShe kneels down and place her forehead on the ground full of snowHer forehead is cold,the desolateness of her heart

Just like that, she kneels for a long; long time
