After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Song Nihuan had long thought that the day would come when she would be separated from Lan Zhi, but she always held on to hope that this day would come later.

At this moment, Song Lanzhi's face was pale, and the blood that kept gushing out was particularly eye-catching.

Song Nihuan's tears suddenly flowed out.

Xie Tan held her hand.

These days, he has been immersed in the Imperial Hospital. He doesn't believe in it and doesn't believe that Song Lanzhi is beyond help.

But facts proved that the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, who came from a medical family, was right.

There is really no other way.

The bleeding was finally stopped, and the man was still breathing. There was no need to avoid Madam Mingde at this moment. The doctor from the Imperial Hospital knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Song's condition has temporarily stabilized. But if this continues... I'm afraid we have to prepare for his funeral."

Song Nihuan knew that Xie Tan and the Imperial Hospital had done their best.

She walked forward, "Let me see him."

However, Xie Tan was afraid that she would be even more sad after seeing Lan Zhi's body under the quilt. So when she came here these days, the maid skillfully took over the job of moving Lan Zhi's joints. She had never seen the festering skin under Lan Zhi's sleeves.

Xie Tan grabbed her hand with an unhappy look on his face.

Song Nihuan insisted, "I thought about this day. Your Majesty, I faced life and death many years ago. I just lost control because I was too anxious. Don't worry."

In front of people she didn't know well, she called him "Your Majesty" and was very polite. She had to get his approval for everything she did.

Xie Tan looked at Song Nihuan's sad and stubborn eyes, sighed, stretched out his hand and held hers, "I'll accompany you."

Song Nihuan nodded.

She walked to Lan Zhi's bedside. Just now, something urgent had happened. After the maids and the imperial doctors gave him emergency treatment, they did not have time to cover up Lan Zhi's festering skin.

The ulcers were particularly obvious where the needles had been given, and if you got close you could smell a bad odor.

Her tears fell again.

She held her brother's hand and didn't speak for a long time.

The imperial doctors all withdrew.

Xie Tan said, "The imperial doctors have long said there is no way, but I didn't believe it. I looked through all the medical books and it is true... there is no way. I was afraid that you would be sad, so I wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible. Huan'er, do you blame me for not telling you earlier?"

"I don't blame you." Song Nihuan said, "Let me be quiet."

Xie Tan stood up and walked out.

When he reached the door, he couldn't help but look back, and saw that the thin shoulders were trembling slightly.

Song Nihuan sat alone beside Lan Zhi's couch until it got dark, until a maid came to call her, saying that a hairpin banquet had been started in the palace, and she didn't have to go if she didn't want to.

She stood up and followed the maid to the hairpin banquet.

She knew everything Xie Tan had done for her. He allowed her to be willful, but she couldn't allow herself to be so willful anymore.

He had done enough for Lan Zhi. There was nothing more he could do.

He organized the Flower-Hairpin Banquet originally to let her show off in front of the ministers and their wives, and she couldn't go against his wishes.

Along the way, she tried hard not to think about the fact that Lan Zhi shouldn't have ended up like this.

Don't think about the young man who was wearing shackles and smiling at her, telling her not to be afraid.

Don't think about how he got rid of his shackles and survived in that barren land.

Don't think about the fact that he was around her and trying to protect her even though he knew she didn't remember him.

She hasn't recognized him yet.

She would never be able to recognize him again.

If you don't think about it, you won't regret it.

Nor will I be angry.

I won't hate myself anymore, I want to kill that person.

Xie Yunji and Xie Yunjie left the Xie Mansion together and headed towards the palace gate.

Everyone knew what the emperor's purpose was at this hairpin banquet.

Xie Tan is determined to make Song Nihuan the queen.

At the banquet, he did not see Song Nihuan, and the emperor also looked gloomy.

This time when Xie Yunji returned, he didn't want to be as good at dancing as before. The flattery and fawning among the people only made him feel bored.

In addition, the emperor's direct line of generals from the northern border formed a group and often verbally criticized him.

He used the excuse of sobering up and walked out of the palace, intending to leave first.

A bright moon rose high in the sky. When I passed the Jinghua Gate and reached the junction with the Inner Palace, I could see the person I had been thinking about under the water-colored palace lanterns.

She was walking hurriedly towards Chaoyang Palace where the Hairpin Flower Banquet was to be held.

He thought of her like that, and now she was right in front of him.

If I could touch her again, talk to her again, hug her again...

Song Nihuan raised her leg and stepped onto the stairs, when she suddenly felt someone grabbing her and dragging her into the Baoyue Building beside the corridor.

She turned around in shock and saw that it was Xie Yunji.

Why is he here? Is he here to attend the Hairpin Flower Banquet as well?

This was very close to Chaoyang Palace, which was surrounded by the imperial guards and noble ladies coming and going. If she spoke, the imperial guards would surely come.

Xie Yunji did not cover her mouth. He bet that she would not bring anyone over and that she still cared about him.

Sure enough, Song Nihuan lowered her voice and asked, "What are you doing?!"

Xie Yunji was happy and didn't answer. He said to Shuanghua who was standing by and watching in amazement, "Go upstairs and wait. If you make it known, I will ask for your permission to return to Xie's house."

Shuanghua watched in astonishment as Xie Yunji brought Song Nihuan into the dark and unlit Baoyue Tower.

Baoyue Tower was a treasure tower built by the emperor of the previous dynasty for his Tibetan concubines for the purpose of worshipping them. It has now been completely abandoned, with only eunuchs coming to sweep and scatter the flowers regularly on the first and fifteenth days of each month.

There were no lights on in Baoyue Tower, only the clear light of the moon was shining on the ground.

The two of them were silent in the dark for a long time. Xie Yunji seemed to be at a loss as to how to start.

He loosened his grip on her arm.

As soon as he let go, Song Nihuan lifted her skirt and walked out, but then asked him to pull her back.

He was so afraid that she would leave that he pulled her without enough strength and hurt her.

She finally couldn't help but whisper, "What are you going to do? Aren't you afraid of being seen, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Yunji looked at her and said, "Thank you, Sir? Madam Mingde's words of thank you really touched my heart. There is no one else here, so don't be so distant with me."

The hatred she had for Lan Zhi just now ignited again. Song Nihuan said coldly: "Then what should I do to you? Should I call those people over and punish you for the crime of causing chaos in the palace, and execute the entire Xie family as well?"

"You wouldn't." Xie Yunji's eyes were burning. "If you wanted to, you would have shouted just now. Tell me, why didn't you shout?"

Song Nihuan said: "I don't want to make him sad."

Yes, when she saw that pine-like and bamboo-like back, she had only one thought in her mind, that is, no matter what Xie Yunji wanted to do to her, she didn't want to make Xie Tan sad.

If Xie Tan saw her entangled with him, he would definitely be sad.

So, she didn't shout.

Xie Yunji had never expected this to be the reason. It was as if a heavy stone had hit his heart, and the resentment and anger in his heart became stronger. He couldn't help but hold her shoulders and gritted his teeth and said, "Have you really forgotten our past? I just want you to say one thing. Did he force you? When he was not around, did you miss me?"

She just thought it was ridiculous when he asked her that, so she told him, "Your Majesty never forced me at all, I did it all of my own free will. I should have married him, but you got in the way. Those four years with you were wrong! If it weren't for you, Lan Zhi wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"Of course I missed you. I wanted to kill you countless times!"

The look she gave him seemed poisoned in the moonlight.
