I took advantage of the last moments to visit my mother.
"Yun'er, why did you suddenly fall ill?" My mother looked at my pale face, her heart aching.
"Mother, it's nothing. I'm just too tired," I said weakly.
"Yun'er, you should call for the imperial physician to take a look. You can't go on like this," she urged.
"Mother, I still have things to do. I need to go," I quickly left her quarters.
Sitting in the palanquin, I fought back tears.
"Mother, please take care of yourself."
I was truly afraid; I feared that one day I would suddenly leave this world.
My health was deteriorating rapidly, and I could barely take care of myself anymore.
Fortunately, my Xiao Ling was always by my side, taking care of my needs.
I returned to Princess Manor.
Back at Princess Manor, I still felt uneasy.
Because I actually lost control.
"Princess, it's okay," Xiao Ling comforted me. "Everyone goes through things like this."
"I'm so embarrassed." I lay on the bed and cried the whole night.
I knew my good days were over.
My health was deteriorating, and the pain was unbearable.
A few close friends knew I was sick and came to keep me company.
We played and joked together.
I cherished this brief moment of joy.
But then, Huang Yu appeared again, shattering the happiness I had managed to find.
"Liu Yun, what's wrong with you?" Huang Yu exclaimed in shock when he saw me. "How did you get so thin?"
"I'm fine." I didn't want to see Huang Yu; I turned away and said coldly.
"Liu Yun, tell me, what’s really going on?" Huang Yu grasped my hand, asking anxiously.
"I'm at my limit," I said calmly.
"How could that be?" Huang Yu said incredulously. "Liu Yun, you're still so young. How can you be at your limit?"
"Huang Yu, just go back," I replied coldly, closing my eyes.
"Liu Yun, don't scare me," Huang Yu said, holding me tightly, grief-stricken. "How can you have a terminal illness?"
"Huang Yu, please leave," I said flatly.
"I won't leave," Huang Yu insisted stubbornly. "I want to stay with you."
"Huang Yu, you don't deserve to," I said coldly.
"Liu Yun, I was wrong. I know I was wrong," Huang Yu lamented, filled with regret. "Please forgive me."
"Huang Yu, I won't forgive you," I replied indifferently. "Just go."
"I won't go," Huang Yu insisted again. "Liu Yun, tell me how you found out about your condition."
"That day when you forced me to pay tribute to Xiao Yue, that's when I realized," I said lightly.
"Why? Why didn't you tell me?" Huang Yu knelt before me, tears blurring her vision as she looked up at me.
"What's the point of telling you?" I scoffed. "Can you cure me?"
"Liu Yun, please give me another chance," Huang Yu pleaded. "I'll take you to see a doctor, I'll find the best physician for you."
"Huang Yu, don't you understand?" My heart softened, but I still spoke with a hardened resolve. "I don't need you."
"Why?" Huang Yu asked in confusion. "Liu Yun, why won't you forgive me?"
"Because you don't deserve it," I replied coldly.
"Liu Yun—" Huang Yu was in immense pain.
"Huang Yu, just go," I said, closing my eyes and speaking indifferently.
"I'm not leaving," Huang Yu insisted stubbornly.
"If you won't leave, then I will." After saying that, I struggled to get up.
"Liu Yun, don't move," Huang Yu said in a panic as they blocked my way. "I'll go, I'll go."
Huang Yu turned back three times, reluctant to leave my room.
