Struggling to Death

In Eternal Beauty, (Linxiao courtyard)

Linxiao was slumbering peacefully in the middle of the bed, with the scent of blooming flowers that were coming beside the window.

her body looked relaxed, her long lashes touched her face delight skin as her eyes were closed.

However, the peace end unexpectedly, In her forehead a little frown could be seen and sweat around her chin. her eyebrow and eyelashes which were beautiful as the moon started to twist. when Linxiao squeezes them in her sleep.

The expression on her face alter slightly from the magnificent complexion, which was bright as the moon before, and now, flinched to turn dark.

Linxiao clenched her hand tightly, her eyes were still closed, she grabbed the bedsheet from both of her hands as the soft material were squeezed between Linxiao's tighten fingers.

She starts to shake her head in sleep, her every expression demonstrate like she was in a sort of great pain. As she struggles in her sleep, if someone had sawed her like this, they must assume, her body was possessed by a dangerous and formidable soul.

"Help... Help..." Linxiao began struggling while crying out her heart. She feels that she can't breathe.

"Help...help..." Her sound of crying started to increase. Just as her sound increases, her grip on the sheet also tighten. 

That seems someone's grip was around her neck. who want to strangle her to death.

However, no one could be detected besides Linxiao or in the room who could be doing that. as Liu Ying, who had the duty to look after Linxiao were not present there.

Linxiao screamed for help. However, anyone was not around her, who could wake up her from the horrible dream or what was happening to her.

No one can comfort her...

No one was there to bring her out of struggling....

"Help....." Linxiao starts to scream more in her dream.

But No one comes to look for her.

On the other side of the courtyard, Two-men who were dressed in guard clothing, standing outside of her chamber had heard the yelling of Linxiao, which was coming from inside her room, they looked at each other.

"Did you heard the screams?" The first guard asked narrow his gaze and fixed into the other guard standing there.

"Hmmm, It sounds like a Princess's voice," the second one said and he seems anxious for his Princess.

"Princess....?" the first one confirmed from him, and their eyes widened knowing it was coming from the princess chamber.

They looked puzzled, not able to decide what they should do.

They listened to Linxiao scram but no one dared to go into her room to look at what was happening and why she was yelling.

It was not clear whether they didn't want to go or something else, or the Royalty and rules came in middle.

Just when they heard, Linxiao scream increased, both men nod their heads to each other looking into each other's eyes, rush towards Linxiao room.

They have to make themself courageous because they know, if they don't look for Linxiao and something happens to her, then their life will be in danger.

They ran towards Linxiao room's direction to look for her.

Just as they were outside of the room and one of the man's hands was on the handle of the gate, his gesture shows that he was about to open the door.

But before he could open to going inside the room. Liu Ying came running towards the gate holding something in her hands.

Liu Ying opened the door in anxiety.

Liu Ying already had heard Linxiao scream when she was steeped in Eternal Beauty.

Just hearing Linxiao's screams coming from her room. She completely forgot what she was doing at that time and rode towards the Linxiao room.

When Liu Ying entered while rushing she blamed herself in mind.

"It was her responsibility to look after her miss. why did she leave her alone in the room." she cursed herself as not able to fulfil her responsibility again this time.

Liu Ying reached and opened the door to look at the matter with Linxiao. However, her mouth fell as it open wide and stared at the room with her wide eyes.

Linxiao was sitting in the middle of the bed comfortably. nothing happened to her as she was not the one who screamed a moment ago.

It was not the scene in which she except to spot Linxiao sit comfortably.

as hearing Linxiao's scram. She thought something happened to her or might, she was again trying to run or maybe she was throwing the tantrums. but here, when she saw her Linxiao, who looks normal and comfortably in bed like an obedient child.

Liu Ying saw Linxiao's face carefully to know what her expression was but she could not find anything on Linxiao's face.

Linxiao looks normal to her.

It was not like that Liu Ying was disappointed to find Linxiao fine and excellent.

However, Liu Ying wondered what was the screams mean as Linxiao looked normal.

Liu Ying was worried about her miss so, she asked.

"Miss, you awake, are you alright"? Liu Ying was worried. Linxiao had not given a response to her.

"What happened Miss, why did you scream?" she asked again and went beside Linxiao, who sat there with a passive look on her charming face.

"How did you feel now, miss?" Liu Ying asked again and again back to back different questions but she did not hear any reply coming from Linxiao.

Liu Ying looked at Linxiao's ambush face which did not show any expression and had not uttered a word till the end.

Linxiao was sitting on the bed like a sculpture who can't see anything or listen to anything which was asked of her.

Even her eyes did not blink for a moment like Linxiao encountered the great shock of her life.

Liu Ying looked towards Linxiao confusingly, she did not know the meaning behind Linxiao behaviour.

So, she comes towards Linxiao's bedside, keeping the bowl on the side table.

Liu Ying kept her hands on Linxiao's shoulder then she shrugged Linxiao's shoulder with both of her hands.
