Thus, after dinner, the three little ones helped Gu Qingxue clean up the kitchen, then washed up and went to bed.

Gu Qingxue sat by the bed and watched the three little ones fall asleep. She covered them with the quilt before returning to the room next door.

It was the coldest time of the year.

Gu Qingxue lay in the quilt alone. She felt as if she had gone into an ice cellar. It was so cold.

In the end, she was defeated by the damn cold. She hugged her quilt and went to the room where the three little ones were.

It was indeed much warmer to sleep on the bed with the three little ones than to sleep alone. After Gu Qingxue warmed herself up, she closed her eyes contentedly.

Drowsiness gradually came over her.

Not long after Gu Qingxue’s consciousness sank into the darkness, she felt as if her soul had left her body and drifted into an extremely luxurious old house. Then, she entered a gorgeous and quaint room.

Soon after, her soul drifted in the air, and saw a sickly little boy about four or five years old lying on the bed. His small face, which was somewhat similar to that of Dumby and Xiao Lin, was as pale as a piece of paper, even his lips were pale. His eyes were closed, and he kept calling for his mother and father in a weak voice.

Beside the bed, a young woman in fine clothes was sitting there, holding a bowl of black medicinal liquid in her hand. She had a vicious smile on her face, her tone was gentle, “Han’er, it’s time to take the medicine. Take the medicine, and your illness will be cured.”

For some reason, Gu Qingxue looked at the woman’s posture and thought of the scene in the movie where Pan Jinlian fed Wu Dalang medicine. She felt that she was full of malice.

When the little boy heard the woman’s voice, he struggled to open his eyes and looked at her with a disgusted expression, “Get lost, I don’t want to take your medicine! Get lost!”

“Han’er, you can’t be so willful. If the royal highness finds out that you are so willful and won’t take your medicine obediently, he will be angry too.” The smile on the woman’s face did not change, she reached out her hand forcefully and pried open the little boy’s mouth, putting the medicine into his mouth.

Seeing this, Gu Qingxue was so angry that her head was about to explode.

A kind of heartache for the little boy grew from the depths of her heart, making her almost go berserk.

She wanted to stop that woman, but when she stretched out her hand toward the woman, her hand went through the woman’s body.

And that woman and the little boy seemed to be unable to see her existence.

Gu Qingxue listened to the little boy’s weak cries, and her heart ached so much that she almost could not breathe.

Just like that, a bowl of medicine was poured into the little boy’s stomach. He was also tired, so he directly fell asleep.

“B*stard! There is still a use for you now. Sooner or later, I will strangle you with my own hands! How can you be worthy to be the crown prince of the regent prince’s mansion?! You’re a b*tard who has a mother but no one to raise you!” The smile on the woman’s face disappeared, she stared at the little boy coldly and cursed in a low voice.

Gu Qingxue’s fists were really hard now.

She wanted to slap that woman’s face flat so that she would know how gorgeous the color of the blood was.

Perhaps she was too angry, Gu Qingxue felt a dull pain in her chest. She opened her eyes abruptly.

What she saw was the dilapidated roof.

Huff!

So she was dreaming.

Gu Qingxue licked the corner of her lips and turned her head to look at the three children beside her.
