New Life of Broken Cedar - C61

Gu Mo Yan backed up a few steps. Although he thought that Zi Ye might know that Wu Qi and his child were dead, he didn’t expect Mo Gu Han to not even clean up Wu Qi’s corpse. He could imagine how big of an impact it would be for Zi Ye to see that scene.

“Did he say anything else?” Gu Moyan mumbled to himself. He was still in the middle of his training period.

“Zi Ye said that he wanted to stay in his room by himself for a few days to rest. He told us not to disturb him.” Little Shun was almost choked with sobs as he spoke. He hadn’t been with Zi Ye for very long, but he had been the one to help him in every possible way. He was such a good person, yet in the end, he ended up like this.

“Zi Ye, is that what you said? It’s good that he’s fine, it’s good that you’re fine. ” Gu Moyan walked into the snow. Snowflakes landed on his unbound hair, making him look like he had turned white in an instant. His back looked helpless.

There was silence in front of Ye Xiao’s room. Even the birds were not there, as if they wanted to leave a quiet space for the people in the house.

After Gu Mo Yan returned to his room, he casually entered a bit of food and fell asleep on his bed. He didn’t even change his clothes. He felt exhausted, and his thoughts became even more intense.

“Esteemed Empress, esteemed Empress …” It was the ethereal voice again.

This time, he could clearly see what was happening around him, but there was nothing else. Besides the thick white mist surrounding him and the ethereal voice calling out to him, he felt as if he was floating between the heaven and earth.

Gradually, there were three blurry silhouettes in front of him. In an instant, Gu Moyan’s eyes widened. Weren’t two of them people whom he had seen before? There was also a slightly smaller, wrinkled face, and they were all looking at him.

Gu Mo Yan’s mouth was wide open, but he didn’t say anything.

Gu Moyan set her gaze on the face of the person she was most familiar with – Zi Ye’s face was pale, without a trace of blood in it. It looked like … He looked like someone who had died a long time ago. The tall kid next to him, whose scalded skin no longer looked the same, was completely unharmed. In their arms, the one with the thin voice was crying. His face was flushed red and his eyes were closed.

Although they did not open their mouths, Gu Moyan heard these sounds. The oil splattered on his skin, causing him to scream, the child cried, and the leaves to wail. Everything encircled Gu Moyan, making him feel like he was about to collapse.

Suddenly, there was silence around them. Zi Ye’s voice slowly said, “Empress, I …” “I was really tired, so I went to see Wu Qi first. The matter with the child is not your fault. I can only blame him for not being able to be born into a good family …” Ye Wen looked at him with blank eyes. Gu Moyan did not dare to look him straight in the eyes. But he couldn’t stop himself from looking at them. The words he heard in his ears were clearly full of emotion and gentleness. However, he felt cold all over. He wanted to leave as soon as possible. He didn’t even want to see a seed like this.

Zi Ye seemed to be distracted by his actions. He sobbed softly, and started to silently shed tears under his black eyes.

Just like this, the fog grew denser and denser. When Gu Mo Yan could no longer see it clearly, the worry in his heart grew bigger than it appeared on the surface. He finally realized how big of a mistake he had made.

Gu Mo Yan stayed there for a long time, hoping that when the seed leaves appeared again, when the fog dissipated again, when he could say “I’m sorry” to them.
