Chapter 19 You Can Know Your Mistakes
At night, the cold palace was surprisingly dark. Lauren couldn't get out of bed and walk. At this time, she especially wanted to go outside the temple to see the moonlight. She propped up her body and slowly moved to the bed. As soon as she was ready to get out of bed, there was a tear-like pain in her chest, like an unhealed wound, which was like being torn.
In the dark, one hand held her.
She smiled bitterly. "Su Jin, I am really useless. I can't even get out of bed with a slight injury."
Su Jin did not speak. She felt uncomfortable. "Go and light the candle secretly sent by Doctor Chang. It's too dark in this room. I'm afraid my wound is cracked."
"Knowing that there is an injury, what are you doing out of bed?"
It was not Su Jin who spoke, but a low male voice. Lauren was dazed. She quietly pulled out her hand from his hand, and her body almost fell in a flash, but the hand never reached out to help her again.
"Are you annoying me?"
Lauren pulled the corners of her mouth. "How dare I?"
"Why does even the candle need to be secretly sent by the imperial doctor?" The man's voice seemed to add a little dissatisfaction.
She felt funny, "You have seen a lot of things about climbing high and stepping on the bottom in this harem, haven't you? Is there anything strange about this?"
"I have warned you many times, but you have been willful again and again, forcing me to dispose of you. At this point, do you know what is wrong?"
The moonlight was reflected in the room through the casement, and Lauren looked up at the faint moon, especially wanting to get some air.
The figure standing beside her was so cold that she shivered all over. She turned her eyes to him. In the dark, she seemed to see his beautiful face and those cold eyes.
"Can you take me to the yard? It's too dark in the room!" The night without candlelight is really hard. Lauren has been stormy all her life, but she doesn't like this night.
He grabbed her jaw and approached her. "Can you hear what I ask you?"
"I heard it!" She said faintly.
"Then why don't you answer? You don't know what's wrong, do you?" Through the night, he seemed to be able to see through her eyes and her mind clearly.
Lauren was bitter. "You know why I didn't answer, why do you have to force me to speak?"
"Lauren, you really don't know what's wrong!" Herbert threw her away in disappointment. He stepped back a few steps. "In that case, you can stay in limbo, and when you figure it out, you can step out of this door!"
There was a thud and Herbert rushed out of the door.
The guards outside the cold palace were scared to kneel down by the sudden appearance of the emperor. They did not know when and where he entered.
Herbert's eyes were sharp. He was really confused by Lauren's anger. He forgot that he had come quietly and should have left quietly.
"Tell me, Lauren is not allowed to step out of the inner hall of the cold palace!"
His cold voice echoed in the silent cold palace, like a sharp sword touching Lauren's heart. She shook her body and sat down on the bed feebly.
Su Jin lit the candlelight and reflected it on Lauren's face. Her face was pale and bloodless, which made people feel distressed. Su Jin regretted why she didn't light the candlelight earlier. If the emperor had seen the Empress's face earlier, would he also feel distressed about the Empress?
Chang Cheng arrived as promised. He walked in a little in a hurry. He didn't come in too politely. He knelt in front of Lauren's bed to take her pulse. He even boldly took off the silk scarf changed to Lauren's wrist.
It took him a long time to withdraw his hand.
"How is it?" Su Jin asked eagerly.
