"Come back with me?" Although it was a question, he did not really intend to ask Gu Moyan. He was just stating his thoughts.

If he rejected her, he would forcefully bring her back, and Mo Guhan would follow through with his hair, allowing him to move freely between his fingertips.

With these two sentences, a group of people majestically left the dense forest, leaving behind the monster that was chasing Gu Moyan, who was lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

Perhaps, at that time, Mo Guhan would have let this youth intrude into his arms, walk into his life, and accompany him for the rest of the time. In fact, he didn't even know that he was seeing those intelligent eyes of his. All he wanted to do was to take him as his own.

The monster breathed out a heavy breath, its hoarse voice roaring from the bottom of its mouth as if it was trying to keep him alive for the sake of something. It also seemed to be unwilling that it was going to die just like that. But in the end, all the unwillingness and unwillingness were buried in the blood-stained soil. It would slowly corrode along with the fallen leaves, nourishing the forest.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before the butcher who came up the mountain realized why this monster, which howled every night, was buried here. They would also feel lucky that the thing that caused them so much panic was finally dead. On the contrary, no one would even think about where Gu Moyan was.

"..."

Cold. So cold. So painful.

Gu Mo suddenly felt as if his entire body had fallen into an ice-cold storage. His hands and feet were frozen cold, so cold that he didn't even feel anything.

When he woke up from his dream, only some hazy memories remained.

Then, a moderately warm towel was placed on Gu Mo's head and a thick blanket was put on his body. He finally stopped biting his lower lip, and his body gradually relaxed.

The first thing he saw was a thin cyan muslin bed and the faint smell of medicine on the tip of his nose.

"Empress, you're finally awake. You were crying out for pain just now, but you scared this little one to death." A delicate and pretty boy with tied hair was kneeling in front of Gu Mo's bed. He stretched his hand into the copper basin, wrung out a towel, and said happily.

Gu Mo rolled his eyes, then closed them again. During this time, he didn't say a single word to the boy, and looked at him for a while when he first opened his eyes.

And the boy knew that the Empress had almost lost her footing and was frightened, so he said nothing.

After changing the towel on Gu Mo's head, he acted as if he was in front of Gu Mo and said, "Empress, you didn't know that the Emperor had come to visit you once when you were unconscious. When I came in, I had even discovered that he had covered you with a blanket."

If one were to say what Gu Moyan's body thought, if one were to hear what he had said, one could guarantee that they would be vexed over why they had fallen asleep at that time, and not even have the chance to meet Mo Guhan once. Afterwards, he would properly reward the boy and remind him that when the emperor came, he must wake the boy up or say some good words in front of the boy.

In the end, the soul in his body had changed. Whether Mo Guhan came or not, it did not have much of an impact on Gu Mo anymore. It was just that after hearing the boy's words, a sense of happiness inexplicably rose in his heart. Originally, Gu Moyan had already liked him so much, but unfortunately he had given the wrong person, so this liking, might not be able to continue on.

The child waited at the side for a long time, but his mistress did not speak up. She pouted and continued to move her hands, not mentioning Mo Guhan.

"Does the Empress feel better?" The child was feeding a porcelain spoon to Gu Mo. His Empress had experienced a great calamity, and she still lacked the strength, so he should do this.
