Chapter 308 Her Nightmare

e you trying to steal a woman from your own nephew" Xiao Yuge was also angry, angry at his domineering nature, angry at his bullying, and even angrier that she wasn't repulsed by his kiss anymore, eve..."Damn it!" Xiao Yuge pushed him away, storming into the room and collapsing onto the bed. Thankfully, Qian Tingxuan didn't follow her in, but instead slept on a couch outside the bedroom.

"Qian Tingxuan, are you asleep" Xiao Yuge, though annoyed with him, also knew he was protecting her. But what did he intend to do

"Hmm Can't sleep" Qian Tingxuan lay there with his hands under his pillow, eyes closed, his mind racing over every detail of the plan, wondering if there were any loopholes.

"Tell me about you and the Empress."

Qian TingXuan opened his eyes, hesitated for a moment: "Why suddenly want to hear this" This was his taboo, others would certainly not dare to ask more, but here with her, there were no taboos!

"I'm just curious, both you and the Emperor are the Empress Dowager's biological sons. But I heard that the Empress Dowager hasn't seen you in all these years, only the Emperor. Did you do something to disappoint her" It's quicker to find information from him than to go through the trouble of investigating.

Qian Tingxuan remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, “If I really have to say what I did, it was probably when I was young, and my elder brother was still the prince. Because I was ignorant, I climbed onto the dragon throne while he was meeting with the celestial master from Tianzhu Country. I don't know what happened, but the two dragons on either side of the dragon throne suddenly emitted a brilliant light. As a result, I fainted right there on top of it. How could I, as a prince, climb onto the dragon throne My mother was very angry, and from that time onwards, she started to distance herself from me...”

This might be the pain he's always had a hard time letting go of, so when he said these things, even his voice was tinged with sadness.

"He's just a child, what harm could he possibly have in mind" Xiao Yuge thought to herself. The Empress Dowager wouldn't go so far as to poison her own son over something like this, would she

"That is the imperial power. Anyone who covets it, even a child, is guilty!" From that time on, he never went near the dragon throne again and never thought of sitting upon it.

Xiao Yu Ge fell silent. She almost blurted out that the poison on his body was given to him by the Empress Dowager, but the words died in her throat. Even now, looking back at how the Empress Dowager distanced herself from him, he still felt so heartbroken. If he knew the truth, wouldn't his heart shatter

"Qian Tingxuan, you don't want that position, do you" After a long silence, she finally asked.

“I had never considered it. This life, perhaps short, but I only want to protect my country and people. Besides, since Your Majesty has taken the throne, Lan Zhao Nation has been prosperous and peaceful. I just want to arrange things properly after this, and spend the rest of my life traveling with you, or perhaps finding a secluded place to live a simple life of farming and weaving.”

Xiao Yu Ge chuckled softly, "Imagine you, a royal prince, plowing the fields with an ox. It would be quite comical."

"But I look forward to living that life with you, waking up with the sunrise and going to bed with the sunset."

"Qianting Xuan, if one day you discover that someone you care about has betrayed and hurt you, what would you do" Xiao Yuge probed tentatively.

"If that person was you, I would be heartbroken, but I would still forgive you!" As he spoke, Qian Tingxuan had already arrived at Xiao Yuge's bedside.

"You, you, you...why aren't you lying outside What are you doing coming in here" Xiao Yuge subconsciously moved back.

“I can’t sleep, I wanted to come and see you.” Qian Tingxuan squatted in front of her bed, gently covering her hand that was placed outside: “Xiao Ge'er, I know about what happened when you went to the East Palace to see Qian Si Chen a few days ago. To this day, I don’t even know what your feelings for me are, is it gratitude or touched Xiao Ge'er, I have feelings for you, but I don’t want to appear weak in front of you. I even thought about, no matter if you like me or not, I would keep you by my side, but I’m afraid that one day, you will really disappear from my world…” Like that, he would truly collapse!

He had already screamed countless times in his heart: Little Ge'er, fall in love with him quickly!

He was the all-seeing and all-knowing master of Lei Teng Pavilion, yet there were times when he felt powerless. If she truly wanted to leave him, perhaps he wouldn't even be able to find her!

His voice was filled with a profound sadness, like a silken thread suddenly piercing her chest. It wasn't overtly painful, but it hurt deeply nonetheless.

“I'm a little cold, could you hold me while we sleep”

Unexpectedly, after his heartfelt confession, she remained silent for a long time before responding with something that left him both amused and bewildered.

"Okay, I'm cold too, let's cuddle together." He readily went up to her, being able to hold her and sleep with her openly was already the biggest comfort for him.

Xiao Yu Ge leaned against his warm chest, a wave of sleepiness washed over her, she gently closed her beautiful eyes, and soon fell fast asleep......

Qianting stroked her soft hair, the corners of his lips unconsciously curving into a doting smile. His love was not unanswered; she just didn't respond as obviously. It didn't matter, he could wait.

For the past month, Xiao Yuge has spent almost every day with Qian Tingxuan. She hasn't thought about her past life in a long time, not even having nightmares. Qian Tingxuan is too clingy; when she's with him, she even forgets about revenge.

Perhaps tonight, she was injured or the events of this afternoon had stirred something within her. She dreamt again of the moments before her death in her past life. The pain and hatred were so intense that her whole body trembled.

"I don't want to die! Please, don't do this to me, Sichen. It hurts so much, please let me go..." She was waving her hands in her sleep, helplessly begging for something. Her whole body was trembling. This was unlike anything he had ever seen from her when she was awake.

"Little song! Little song!"

Jian Tingxuan had seen this look on her face more than once. That cry of "Si Chen gege" made his heart ache: it turned out, she dreamt of Qian Sicheng in her sleep! What did she dream about Why was she so frightened

“I’ll kill you all!” She waved her hands wildly, suddenly sat up, her forehead covered in sweat, even her hair was soaked. At the moment she saw Qian Tingxuan, for a moment, she mistook him for Qian Sichin, her eyes turned cold and fierce, her jade hand quickly clamped onto his neck!

"Little Song!" Qian Tingxuan was shocked by the intense hatred in her eyes. How could her originally clear eyes be stained with such terrifying hatred

It was this little song that allowed Xiao Yu Ge to regain her lost consciousness. Her gaze fixed on his face, and the hand that had been tightly gripping his neck slowly loosened.

"Sorry..."

"Here with me, no matter what you do, there's no need to apologize. Silly girl, it was just a dream, look at you being scared like that..." Qian Tingxuan caressed her face, wiping away the sweat that remained on it.ugh I fell again and again, I never considered giving up...”Xiao Yu's song poured out her heartbreak and disappointment: "In the end, the medicine I fought tooth and nail to obtain was used by you to...
