They were still in love!

But — there was love!

Xi Ling looked at the window as he hugged his body. Su Nuo's heart was undoubtedly in pain! However, Xi Ling walked over with a smile. "Idiot girl, what are you doing?"

Su Nuo seemed to be scared out of her wits as she raised her head to look at Xi Ling in panic, as if she couldn't see who was in front of her. Su Nuo seemed to be scared out of her wits, as she raised her head to look at Xi Ling in panic, as if she couldn't see who was in front of her.

Only then did Su Nuo look at the good-looking man in front of her with a perplexed expression. "You are a noble?"

Xi Ling caressed Su Nuo's eyes, letting the light of bewilderment be obscured. He then replied softly, "Yes."

Su Nuo closed her eyes and held Xi Ling's hand, as if to herself, "Viscount, why didn't you call me Xiao Nuo? That's what you used to call me before."

"Little Nono." He could feel his heart bleeding.

Su Nuo placed her face on Xi Ling's palm, looking like an extremely meek cat. She had a satisfied smile on her face!

Su Nuo did not dare to close her eyes. Ever since she had met the Duke of Northern Chen, Su Nuo had not been sleeping well. Every night, she would wake up from her nightmares, causing her to be afraid to close her eyes!

Yes, as long as she closed her eyes, the bright red blood would flow towards her, leaving her nowhere to hide.

But even so, ever since she came back from that place, she had never asked about that day again. Even Su Nuo, who was that person, had never asked Xi Ling about it.

Night!

Xi Ling hugged Su Nuo, "Xiao Nuo, be good. Close your eyes and sleep for a while."

Su Nuo shook her head and hugged Xi Ling tightly. "I'm not sleeping. I'm not sleeping." His voice was filled with fear.

Xi Ling looked at Su Nuo's face, which had become thin due to lack of sleep. He then added Su Nuo's face and his own face, "Xiao Nuo, be good and sleep for a while, okay? If little Norrell has a terrible dream, I'll wake you up right away, okay? "

Su Nuo still shook her head. "No, it's really scary. I don't want to see it again."

Xi Ling tightly hugged the person in his embrace and finally asked. He had wanted to ask this question for a very long time already, and had only suppressed the urge to open his mouth! What did you see in your dream, little Norrell? "

It should be Duke Beichen! Xi Ling could actually guess it.

Su Nuo seemed to be frightened and her body stiffened. However, she still earnestly answered Xi Ling's question, "I saw a lot of blood. There was even a man who fell into the blood again and again. That man will smile and look at me." As he spoke, he unconsciously grabbed onto Xi Ling's hand.

It was not hard to guess that the man in the Western Tomb was Duke Bei Chen!

Because he was killed by her own hands, his heart was filled with an unexplainable sin!

Su Nuo's face had already turned pale. The fear in her eyes was obvious! Xi Ling saw it and hugged Su Nuo even more tightly. "It's nothing. It's just a dream, just a dream."

Yes, everyone hoped that this was a dream. Once the dream was awakened, nothing would exist!

But unfortunately — No!

Therefore, everything was about to end in tragedy!

Xi Ling really didn't have any other choice. She could only focus Su Nuo's acupoints and let her sleep for a bit because Su Nuo hadn't closed her eyes for two days!

When Su Nuo fell into Xi Ling's embrace, Xi Ling looked at Su Nuo with sadness in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and gently caressed her face. "It's okay, everything will pass."

Actually, even he himself did not know who this sentence was meant for!

Xi Ling did not sleep with Su Nuo. Instead, he kept holding Su Nuo in the same position. Suddenly, a burst of pain came from his heart twitching. It was so strange, so sudden that Xi Ling was stunned in place! But soon, that feeling disappeared!

Xi Ling began to laugh. It seemed like he had truly been thinking too much these past few days, to the point where something like this had even happened.

The only difference was that there was a bright red pool of blood near her side, and it was constantly flowing with blood. However, that man was still smiling as he was pierced by the sharp sword, and then fell down facing her.

Su Nuo's eyes widened. It was so big, because this time, she seemed to have clearly seen the man's face. It also seemed like he wasn't there! Su Nuo stretched out her hand and subconsciously called out, "Viscount!" The moment she opened her mouth, Su Nuo was stunned and her whole body went ice-cold.

She was shouting 'Jue'! Su Nuo stared at the man that fell once again. However, she was unable to see it clearly this time. Even if she tried, she was unable to see it.

"Bitch." However, Su Nuo didn't care. She just wanted to get a good look at that man's face. What exactly did he look like? Was he her noble?

"It's fine, it's fine." Xi Ling comforted Su Nuo again and again. Su Nuo opened her eyes and looked at Xi Ling's face with fear.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm here." Xi Ling caressed Su Nuo's face with a pained expression.

Tears flowed down Su Nuo's face. She had lost a lot of weight from the torture she had gone through these days, even her chin was on the verge of breaking down. Her eyes were now especially large, filled with fear and trepidation.

"Cry, it'll be alright once you're done crying." Xiling let him cry.

In the past, he was most afraid of his idiotic woman crying. But now, he finally understood that there was nothing he was most afraid of. What he was more afraid of was that his idiotic woman breaking his knowledge time and time again.

If he were to say it now, he only wanted his idiotic woman to come out from her self-torture. If this were to continue, he absolutely believed that his idiotic woman would really go crazy. "Idiot woman, it doesn't really matter if you're crazy."

Su Nuo's eyes were still wide with fear as she didn't listen to Xi Ling's words at all.

Was he crazy? No one else could snatch it from him! Xi Ling also had this kind of crazy thought in his mind at times, but if he could just helplessly watch this idiotic woman go crazy, then, he wouldn't be too far away from going crazy.

The sky outside the window was not completely bright yet, and it was still dark blue. Even some eye-catching lights could not be seen.

Su Nuo didn't close her eyes again. Xi Ling also didn't force her. She just quietly hugged her until dawn.

Xi Ling was not at ease. He had basically handed over everything he had to others to do, so he wholeheartedly guarded Su Nuo by her side. Xi Ling patiently fed Su Nuo's rice and said to her, "Don't you like to play outside the most? Can I accompany you?"

Su Nuo turned around and looked at him blankly before turning back.

"If you don't want to go, then we won't." Xi Ling didn't force her. Instead, he sat down next to Su Nuo and held her in his arms, allowing Su Nuo to gaze into the distance with her blank eyes.

Suddenly, his heart began to throb, causing Xi Ling's body to stiffen. This time, Xi Ling felt it. That feeling was even longer than the last one, and it was immediately followed by news.

Xi Ling looked at Su Nuo's face and saw that there was still no expression on his face. Xi Ling smiled bitterly to himself. When he thought of death, Xi Ling's eyes instantly became sharp. He thought that it was because of the recent days of worry. It seemed that the truth was not like this.

In the afternoon, in the imperial study, Xi Ling asked, "Is there a problem?"

The imperial physician kneeling on the ground replied truthfully, "In reply to Your Majesty, everything is normal and nothing is out of the ordinary."

Xi Ling frowned. "You said I'm fine."

The imperial physician shuddered. "Yes."

"Then why does my chest hurt?" Xi Ling's tone was not very good, and he had an indescribable feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Cold sweat dripped from the doctor's face. "Yes, if you're in a bad mood, you'll get the same illusion from being strongly stimulated."

Xi Ling stopped talking and waved his hand to get his men to leave. He hoped so, but that uneasy feeling only grew stronger.

The truth proved that Xi Ling's premonition was not an illusion, because the number of times his heart twitched and pain increased, and each time, it also increased. This was not because he was sad or angry, but because of the pain in his body. However, he had let all of the imperial physicians look at him thoroughly, but they couldn't find anything wrong with him, which made Xi Ling extremely angry.

Moreover, Su Nuo showed no signs of getting better. Furthermore, the time she spent in a daze was getting longer and longer. This caused Xi Ling to feel even more stifled inside his heart.

Until one day.

A white-robed, white-haired old man appeared within the palace. He spoke in a crazed manner, answering things that didn't seem very big, causing the guards to chase him away. However, the old man wasn't afraid in the slightest as he said, "I've come to kill your emperor."

When the guards heard this, they pulled out their swords and hacked them towards the old man. They obviously couldn't dodge, but the old man wasn't injured at all. They even took a deep breath. The guards were even more afraid now. Even more of them held their swords as they stabbed at the old man. The old man only had to slightly leap to avoid them.

"Assassin." He didn't know that the first sound was for shouting, but very soon, people started shouting as well. Soon, there was a wave of shouts.

Xi Ling frowned. It was not easy for him to let this idiotic woman sleep, but someone recklessly came to argue. He let the black-robed man take a look and very quickly, the black-robed man returned with a white-haired old man. Xi Ling was displeased. "What are you doing?"

Just as the black-robed man wanted to explain that he felt that the old man was not simple, he heard the old man sigh deeply and say, "Everything is fate."

Xi Ling's expression changed. "You are courting death."

The old man laughed. "This old man has long since died, and hasn't died again. His Imperial Majesty's days are numbered, and this old man has come to make his Majesty understand."

Just as he finished speaking, the black robed man's sword was already pressed against the old man's neck. The old man was not afraid at all. Xi Ling's expression turned ugly. "You said I'm going to die, but why didn't I know?"

"No, Your Majesty knows." The old man spoke slowly.

Xi Ling immediately thought of his heart throbbing in pain from time to time.

"Will Your Majesty's heart spasm?" The old man looked at the Western Tomb. "Moreover, the time will also become longer and longer, and the number of offenders will also become more and more."

Xi Ling clenched his hand into a fist and asked, "How do you know?"

The old man replied, "Of course I know. I also know why His Majesty is acting this way."

"Why?" Xi Ling asked.

The old man looked at him and enunciated each word, "Atonement."
