Don't be tempted, sir

Chapter 146 White Moon

Shen Yining stayed indoors for a few days and decided to cheer up. She promised not to ignore him anymore and now wrote a letter to Qizhu, wanting to go to the palace to take care of him.

The carriage reached the palace gate, and the maid led Shen Yining through the long corridor to his bedroom. Shen Yining stopped at the door and hesitated. When she saw the eunuch coming out, Shen Yining hurriedly asked, "Is he awake?"

The eunuch lowered his head and replied, "Miss Shen, the young master has not woken up yet."

"Oh...Oh! Hmm? Young Master? Isn't he the Lord?" Shen Yining wanted to ask, but the eunuch had already gone far away. He hesitated, looked at the tightly closed palace door, limped forward and gently pushed it open. As expected, he was not awake, and it was warm, quiet and silent inside.

The maid bowed her head and Shen Yining walked closer and asked in a low voice, "Is he okay?"

The two maids shook their heads. Song Xiaoyuan had not woken up for three days, and he had not taken any food or water, let alone any medicine.

Shen Yining squatted down and moved closer. He looked pale on the couch, and he seemed to be unable to breathe. He touched his forehead and gently stroked his head, muttering softly: "Qiang Gong, you asked me if I really didn't want you anymore. I was stumped at that time and didn't know what to say. I was also heartbroken to leave you alone against my will. I am sorry to Xiao Yuan. Now... do you also not want me anymore..."

The person on the couch remained motionless. Shen Yining approached gently, resting her cheek on his hand like a docile cat, smiling and crying with her eyes closed: "Live well, Xiaoyuan, it will be fine once you wake up... Since our relationship is over, I will no longer force you to be like before, give me a chance to make it up to you, one last time!"

Hot tears fell down his palms, and his eyes trembled as he closed them tightly. After this, he knew that he could not protect anyone, neither the world nor her. He let her get hurt, and he was incompetent and asked her to risk her life to save her. He was afraid that everyone would blame him for hurting her every day, but she chose to endure it without saying anything. He was a debt and a burden... He could neither protect the world nor Shen Yining alone, and he had no desire to wait until the day when his oil ran out and the lamp died.

But... at this moment my palms are burning and my heart is trembling.

The maid saw Master Song's eyelids trembling and tears in the corners of his eyes. She waved and called the eunuch in, "Quick, please call in Doctor Liu! The master has responded."

Shen Yining raised her head with tears in her eyes, and saw that his eyes were wet and his palms were burning. She left Song Xiaoyuan's grip and the corner of Shen Yining's clothes was pulled. She looked back at his tightly clenched hands and hurriedly held his hands to comfort him: "I won't leave, I won't push you away, I just ask you not to leave me."

Doctor Liu came quickly, carrying a medicine box in a hurry. Song Xiaoyuan tightly grasped the gauze and closed his eyes. Doctor Liu felt his pulse and smiled: "He will wake up, he will wake up! This child really scared me several times."

"Doctor Liu, Xiao Yuan..." Shen Yining wanted to ask him when he would wake up, but before he could finish his words, Doctor Liu looked at him meaningfully.

"Miss Shen, this is really his heart. This old man has been lifeless for the past few days. Miss Shen came and brought his heart with her. Great! Great!"

Shen Yining recalled.... at that time, her hand was pulled up to touch his chest, and she could feel the strong heartbeat in her palm. [Yining, he is beating for you.] She lowered her head and wrapped her handkerchief around him, feeling guilty.

Doctor Liu gave her acupuncture, and Song Xiaoyuan's frown relaxed and her breathing gradually became steady: "Miss Shen, stay with him. He will wake up soon. Feed him some porridge and then medicine."

"Okay, thank you Doctor Liu."

Doctor Liu packed up his medicine box and stood up to leave, but suddenly turned back and said, "When you wake up, persuade the young master of the Song family not to give up on himself."

"Hmm? Okay." This was the third time he was called Young Master. Puzzled, Shen Yining turned to look at Song Xiaoyuan, who was resting on the couch and sleeping with his head sideways. He sat beside him on the couch and pulled the corner of the quilt to cover him.

I don't know when she woke up and just looked at him like this. Her jade-like face was slightly sunken due to thinness, which made her look a lot colder. Her long eyelashes were slightly wet with tears, and her eyes were red.

"Why do you call him Young Master?" Shen Yining gently wiped his eyes and asked the eunuch beside him.

"Miss Shen, Mr. Song has resigned and has no official position now, so I just call him Mr. Song."

Shen Yining's hand that was wiping away tears paused for a moment: "I resigned."

"Yes."

No wonder there was no point in yelling and resentment along the way. After continuing her hand movements, she lifted his hair and sat down by the window. As summer approached, the bright sun shone on the palace walls, and the day was longer than the night. Shen Yining looked up at the flock of pigeons flying outside the window: "It's hot in the room, go outside to cool down, I'll call you if you need anything."

"Yes!" After all, the maids and eunuchs were not exposed to the coldness of the house. The charcoal fire in the house was burning all the time, and they were sweating all day while working. Now they were ordered to go out, and they were very happy. They bowed and went out.

Shen Yining practiced calligraphy quietly by the window, and went to see him from time to time. Doctor Liu said he would wake up but didn't say when, so she could only wait. She was not in a hurry, because if he said he would wake up, it would happen sooner or later, and she could wait.

Suddenly, a maid brought food. Shen Yining put away his pen and ink. The food was as tender as egg custard but also a dessert. Just as he was about to ask, another maid brought him a soft and cute white rabbit.

"This was sent by the Crown Princess, saying that you would like it. Bai Yue is quiet, and will not disturb the young master, but can accompany the young lady."

Shen Yining's eyes smiled like a crescent moon. She carefully took the white and soft rabbit from the maid's arms and liked it very much: "Bai Yue? Is that its name?"

"Yes." The maid handed over some dry wheat straw. Seeing that she liked it very much, she kissed and wanted it very much. Then they looked at each other and left the bedroom.

Shen Yining picked up Bai Yue, whose whole body was snow-white with pink ears and eyes. Bai Yue was raised in Hehe Palace since she was a child and was very docile. She enjoyed Shen Yining's embrace very much and let her caress and play with her without struggling at all.

"You smell so good, Bai Yue! How can a little bunny smell so good! Hmm?" Tietie.

"Does Yining like it?" Qizhu asked the two maids outside the palace.

"Replying to the Crown Princess, the girl likes it very much. She took it and kissed Bai Yue, hugged her and lifted her up high."

"Okay, as long as you like it, let's go back." Qizhu didn't want to go in and disturb her, so she could only hope that Yining wasn't so bored.

Shen Yining put Bai Yue on the table. The little guy ate the dry wheat straw quietly, and the sound of his chewing attracted Shen Yining's attention. She pursed her lips and glanced at the crystal clear dessert next to her. She picked up the spoon and took a small sip. The milk fragrance filled the air and the dessert melted in her mouth.

After eating, Bai Yue stood up and licked her hands and washed her face. Shen Yining also wiped his mouth, cleaned the table and continued to write. Bai Yue shook his hands and folded them into a tofu block, closed his eyes and slept on the table. Shen Yining gently stroked its soft white fur, and Bai Yue felt even more comfortable. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the slow relaxation. It was really cute, and my heart was about to melt. Shen Yining picked up the pen to draw Bai Yue.

The sky gradually darkened and the room was warm. Her light fragrance lingered around his nose. Song Xiaoyuan slowly opened his eyes on the couch. There was no light in the room, only the moonlight, and he could not see clearly what was real. Shen Yining fell asleep holding his hand, and woke up immediately when he noticed something. He sat up and saw him raising his hand to cover his eyes. He was a little excited: "You are awake, Xiaoyuan. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Well, I can't see clearly."

Shen Yining hurriedly looked for a candle to light a lamp in the dark: "Wait a minute, the lamp is not lit yet, wait for me to find the memorial."

"Miss Shen?" Song Xiaoyuan now recognized her voice.
