"The Imperial Forest Army and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Chief Qin reminded me......" Li Mo smiled, and at the same time, she swept by quickly with a thunderous attitude, I couldn't see how she moved, I only saw a white shadow flashing, and then Qin An and those guards fell straight to the ground like those dead soldiers before.

The torches were all extinguished, except for the moonlight, which was as cold as frost.

Li Mo quietly returned to Su Xiumian and stood still, and said softly: "I can't let them move the rescuers, so I ordered their sleeping hole." ”

Su Xiumian was noncommittal about what she did, and just said lightly: "According to Qin An, he must have sent someone into the palace to inform Nan Chengyao." ”

"What? Isn't the Third Highness guarding the palace and not leaving if he is dissatisfied with the mourning period?" Li Mo was slightly stunned.

Su Xiumian didn't answer her, but just stretched out his hand to me: "We have to hurry up and get to the gate of Shangjing first." ”

Li Mo hurriedly said: "Li Mo has already taken care of everything according to the instructions of the son before the retreat, Li Ke has already taken people to wait in disguise in the South Inn of Shangjing City, I have just released the 'Feiying' when I was waiting for the son outside Hefeng Xuan, presumably at this moment they are all ready to wait outside the city gate." ”

Su Xiumian nodded, didn't say anything more, grabbed my waist and flew up.

With my eyes closed, I could only hear the wind whistling in my ears, taking away the past and the past.

There were originally nine gates in Shangjing, but because of the emperor's death, the remaining eight gates were closed during the state funeral, leaving only Anding Gate to pass.

When we arrived outside the Anding Gate, we saw a group of attendants from the Evil Doctor Valley leading horses and waiting there, and Su Xiumian personally led a white horse to me and looked at me quietly: "Do you regret it?"

I took a deep breath, then rolled over and shook my head at him.

He didn't say anything more, turned around and got on another horse, and then said lightly: "Let's go." ”

The horse's hooves raised light dust, dissipated the past like smoke, the sky lit up little by little, I didn't look back, but I could also know that the capital was gradually far away.

In fact, our speed is not slow, and we have a distance from Shangjing, but I don't know why, I always can't settle down inexplicably.

And as if to confirm the uneasiness in my heart, when the sky was bright, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind us that was as fast as the wind, the sound was not loud, it sounded like a man and a horse, but it was getting closer and closer, and Nan Chengyao's voice was also faintly discerning-

"Qing'er ......"

Su Xiumian quietly stopped the horse: "The thief is a good horse that is hard to find in the world, and it will eventually catch up, since it is necessary to make a decision, it is better to be sooner or later." ”

I understood that what he said was not wrong, but in my heart, I became more and more panicked, at this moment when I had just heard Xunyun and Qin An's words, at this moment when I had already decided to leave, I didn't know how to face him, chasing him from the palace.

Although it was inevitable that everyone stopped the horse, I refused to turn back, and Su Xiumian sighed softly almost inaudibly, turned over and dismounted, walked in front of me and stretched out his hand to me: "Don't be afraid, I will take you away, but now like this, if you make it clear in person, forget the grievances." ”

I finally helped his men to get off the horse, and finally slowly walked up a few steps alone, but I still couldn't help it, and looked back a little helplessly, he stood behind me and smiled at me, so I was a little at ease, and forced myself to calm down, and looked in the direction near the sound of the horse's hooves.

Yes, as he said, since I have to make a decision, sooner or later, I will not be able to escape for a lifetime.

The image of a man and a rider gradually approached, Nan Chengyao jumped off the horse, and hugged me into his arms, urgent and suffocated, and he was speechless for a long time.

I was a little out of breath by him, and finally just closed my eyes: "Your Highness, you let me go first." ”

After a long time, he let go of me slightly, and I was about to speak, but he looked deeply into my eyes, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Qing'er, don't leave me." ”

"I ......"

He didn't let me finish the sentence, holding my shoulders firmly: "You listen to me first." I know what you're blaming me, the affairs of the Murong family, I really can't get out of it, if it weren't for my actions in the court, they wouldn't have rebelled, at least they wouldn't have been so impatient. But Qing'er, if it's not them, it will be me, in the emperor's family, I can't have any mercy, otherwise there will only be a dead end, that rebellion is not unnecessary, all I can do is to do my best to keep you safe, don't you understand? Except for you, I have never loved others, do you believe it?"

I didn't speak, and he didn't want me to answer, he still stared at my eyes without blinking, and said in a dumb voice: "As for Murong Yun, I didn't expect her to seek death, you listen to me first, she once begged me to let the prince go, I didn't agree, and I couldn't agree, she probably also knew, so she didn't dwell too much, just begged me to leave the life of the child in her womb." All I can promise is that unless that child doesn't know who he is for the rest of his life, he will survive. So when she gave birth, the pre-arranged Wen Po replaced her and the prince's flesh and blood with an abandoned baby, and then sent it to an ordinary farmer's family, and no one knew the identity of the child. It was impossible for me to tell Murong Yun the whereabouts of the child, she agreed, and never asked, but I didn't expect her to die. ”

"Is the kid alive, where is he now?" I unconsciously tugged at his sleeve.

His eyes sank slightly, avoiding my eyes: "The mother who gave the child is dead, and now no one knows which family the child was given to, and the villagers in that village have all left their hometowns because of the drought, so the whereabouts of the child are unknown for the time being—but Qing'er, I have asked people to find it, you believe me, I will always find it." ”

I shook my head a little bitterly: "No need, let that child just be an ordinary person, maybe it will be happier." ”

I think that's what Yun'er expects as well.

The home is gone, her husband is dead, and her children will never be seen, there is nothing in this world that is worthy of her nostalgia, so she will jump into it and be so determined.

However, because he knows that his little baby is good, although he does not have fine clothes and food, he can enjoy the stability of this world, and will grow up healthy and happy, and have ordinary happiness.

So, she's not worried.

Therefore, the moment she jumped, there was a smile on the corner of her lips.

Isn't that so?

Nan Chengyao didn't speak, and I slowly raised my eyes to look into his eyes, and said calmly, word by word: "Actually, we are the same, if we are separated, we can be liberated from each other, and maybe we will be happier." ”

There was a sudden pain in his eyes, and he held my hand tightly, just like holding the last piece of driftwood between the dead silence and despair of the collapse of heaven and earth—

"Qing'er, tell me, how can you forgive me?"
