Piqued.
”Why is it that every time I look into his eyes, I feel so angry? I would love to kill him.” Inner Shu Qingzhi who looked very upset and angry towards a Princess concubine who had been standing in front of him.
The daughter of the concubine in front of her was the third Princess, Linyun, the son of the Emperor's third concubine and Shu Qingzhi's greatest enemy who had depressed her to the point of injuring her.
So-so.
Shu Qingzhi directly looked at his own wrist and saw some incision wounds of blades that had dried up.
Since Lin Yun had always cornered him even when he was ten years old, Lin Yun had once broken his hands and legs. That thing, made Shu Qingzhi feel extremely depressed and put his fear on Lin Yun. He even slashed his left hand so that the pain in his heart could be muted. However, it became futile as Shu Qingzhi eventually died from blood loss.
”Not usually you'll go breathe fresh air. Didn't you always stay in the storage shed and make friends with the dirty bugs that were there? Uh! I-i know. Do you want me to break your arms and legs again so you're handicapped for life?” said Lin Yun while covering his mouth with his folding fan.
Due to his indignation that could not be muted by anything, Shu Qingzhi walked up to Lin Yun with a gaze ducking down. Then, just as he had been in front of her, Shu Qingzhi instantly grabbed Lin Yun by the wrist and looked at him coldly.
”Fine, don't you dare mess with me. You will definitely know and regret the consequences if you dare to do it again.” he said in a cold voice and a gaze that did not stop looking at Lin Yun's constantly trembling eyes.
Lin Yun looked depressed after Shu Qingzhi gave him such a terrifying look. Before long, he immediately took off his increasingly sore wrist and said, ”Why are you angry with me? I've apologized to you anyway! You are a criminal! It is fitting that the Emperor does not want you at all!” after saying so, Lin Yun immediately left the place along with his two servants.
”What is there to fear from that person? Just ordinary. I can even slash his head if I want.” Inner Shu Qingzhi who looks displeased.
Upon seeing that, once again Fu Yiren humbled before him. He immediately knelt there and said, ”Sorry, Miss. This servant is very stupid for not being able to say anything to defend Miss. Please, law this waiter.”
Shu Qingzhi was expressionless and he instead walked away away from her gaze. That made Fu Yiren feel very surprised because he had thought that right now, Shu Qingzhi was really angry with him. It was possible, Shu Qingzhi would punish him and say never to appear before him again.
”N~ Miss.”
Shu Qingzhi turned to her and said, ”Is still there? Didn't I say that I wanted to take a walk?”
Fu Yiren instantly said, ”But, Miss! What about my punishment?”
Shu Qingzhi was expressionless and was silent for a while. Before long, he turned back to her and said slowly, ”If it is too heavy, there is no need to accompany me.” he said as he walked away leaving her.
Fu Yiren was extremely frightened and immediately ran after Shu Qingzhi. ”Nona! Doesn't Miss want to punish me? I've been acting obnoxious in front of Miss so, I deserve it.”
Again, Shu Qingzhi stopped his steps and looked at the green ground beneath his feet. He rarely showed his expression. Every day, he was always silent in the room because he was lazy to deal with other patients. He never knew how cruel the outside world was. He lives like a dead man and no one wants to consider him family.
”You don't need punishment. All you need is someone standing next to you.” he said as he walked back.
***
Have I entered into my own story to feel what it's like to be ostracized and get punished like the main character has felt all along?
Is this my punishment for being too cruel to my own main cast?
I expected it. This time, I had to pay for what I had scratched in the book.

Shu Qingzhi looked at his face that was reflected above the surface of the lotus lake. He sat down with some small dragonflies sitting on the petals of the lotus.
What would happen if I made an accidental mess and even killed the people who were here? Ahh, there is no such thing as a mental hospital. It's possible that I'll be executed right away if I actually do.
”Nona! Miss!” exclaimed Fu Yiren who ran up to him with some Peony flower stems growing around the Palace. ”... Look Miss. Isn't this flower fragrant and beautiful?”
Shu Qingzhi who saw it was completely expressionless. She was confused as to why Fu Yiren had given her the flowers and why her face was so happy when showing them. And not wanting to make anyone sad again, Shu Qingzhi nodded his head.
”Does Miss want me to keep it in the room so that Miss's room feels more fragrant?” asked Fu Yiren back.
Shu Qingzhi felt confused and did not understand what Fu Yiren had said to him. He nodded his head and said nothing after that.
Seeing him not talking at all made Fu Yiren even more worried. He sat down next to her and asked, ”Is Miss still mad at me? If yes, please punish this waiter.” he said in a humble tone.
Shu Qingzhi was surprised and immediately shook his head. He then pointed towards a small dragonfly and said, ”I want to be alone. You should first store the flower in a vase of water so that it does not wilt.”
Fu Yiren felt doubtful and asked, ”Will Miss be fine if I stay alone here? What if something bad happens to Miss?”
Shu Qingzhi immediately shook his head however, it did not make Fu Yiren feel confident that he would be fine.
Before long, he immediately sighed and said, ”It's okay. Besides, I'm not going anywhere.”
Despite that, Fu Yiren looked unsettled leaving Shu Qingzhi alone in this place. All the daughters of the concubines would definitely do something to him. Of course, Fu Yiren did not want that to happen to his Daughter Lord.
”I will definitely be back quickly!” he said as he walked away in a hurry.
Shu Qingzhi was speechless with his face looking puzzled. Then, shortly after, it was true what Fu Yiren had been thinking since. Two princess concubines were standing behind Shu Qingzhi who was still sitting on the edge of the lake. Then, right behind his back, there was a maid girl who tried to push him into the lake and humiliate him there.
However, when all that happened, Shu Qingzhi immediately dodged by shifting some distance from her so, the servant girl who tried to push her finally fell into the lake.
”Wah, looks like you don't have a place to shower. It's best not to soak there too long if you don't want to get sick.” Shu Qingzhi said with a grin grinning grin at him.
