".......Are you back?"

"Yes. ”

"They, did you send them all away?"

"If you send them away....... you will take them back to their hometown and bury them well. ”

"That's for the best. ”

In a dimly lit room, no candles were lit.

But Pearl heard footsteps.

The footsteps of this cautious one, for fear of waking her up, were his.

"Also, we will return to Beijing tomorrow morning. ”

"Are you going back?"

Pearl was in a trance.

It turns out that so much time has passed?

So soon, are you going to get out of here?

"Because the craftsmen are dead, how can the matter here be explained by a single letter. Therefore, I plan to return to Beijing tomorrow and explain everything clearly, at the very least, to prevent the people of the Moon Kingdom from coming here again to send them to death......"

Even if Pearl didn't turn around, she could imagine Tai Fu's pretending to be calm.

He's always been like that.

No matter how much you suffer.

No matter how much he held back in his heart, he wouldn't make any expressions.

He will only smile or tell you with a blank face that he is fine and thank you for your concern.

Actually, he's not good.

Not good at all.

In fact, he is more righteous than anyone else.

In fact, he has never been a cool person.

But even he didn't know about it.

So after a long time, even he himself felt that he was a cold person and lived a very lonely life.

He didn't even dare to show his warm side to others anymore.

She is the only one who knows.

She believes, even his wife, did not find out.

His personality is a matter of character.

"If you want to cry, you can actually cry here. What about men. Can't men cry?"

"What stupid are you talking about?"

"I just want to tell you, what's the good of holding it in your heart, crying when you should cry, laughing when you laugh. When it's time to make someone a friend, be generous enough to tell him that you are a good friend to them........"

"Do you think you know me well?"

"No matter what you think, whether you admit it or not, in this world, maybe I know you better than yourself........"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"No matter what you think, I won't feel better than you today. But I've already cried once, hard. I believe you, at most, you just shed tears there, and you don't dare to let others see it, right?"

"Don't talk about it........"

Taifu suddenly felt that the strength in his body had been drained.

He thought he could hide it.

He thought that he was a cool person in front of Pearl.

He thought that Pearl was nothing more than a rough woman.

"Yang Yuandao, you just think too highly of yourself. What do you think you are? Iron, emotionless?"

The voice of the pearl is not far or close.

Taifu looked up and realized that she was already standing in front of him.

Her thin body stood in front of him, looking a little insignificant.

But for some reason, he suddenly felt warm.

That kind of warmth, which even his wife could not give him, pearls could give him.

"They, you have long regarded them as your brothers, right? Brother is gone, can you be as calm as you are now? If you want to cry, cry. From now on, I'm deaf and can't hear anything. ”

"You ........"

"Let's start, I'm deaf. ”

Taifu raised his head, and in the night, only the faint light of the moon shone on Pearl's face.

Faded her very softly.

Today, she seems to be extraordinarily gentle, and a layer of warm light is quietly radiating around her.

"Pearl, thank you. ”

"Pearl, actually, I haven't forgotten you. ”

"Today's events have made me understand that anyone can ..... disappear without a trace in an instant....... it turns out that people are really fragile. ”

"Pearl, tomorrow we will return to Beijing. During this time, thank you for taking care of me and returning to the capital ......."

"Please, keep being a stranger. ”

"Smack. ”

The string of beads that the pearl held in the hand fell to the ground.

There was a crisp sound.

This is what she originally intended to give Taifu.

She tried her best from the palace to avoid the emperor's eyes, and finally brought out something.

"What's wrong with you?"

“……….”

"Did you drop something........

"No, you should go out! ”

"Good ........"

Taifu rarely did not refute her words, and stood up obediently.

He was already tall, and he cast a shadow in front of her.

"You rest early, too...... I have ..... over today's events. Tomorrow, it's a new day, isn't it?"

"Yes, if you think so, of course it's for the best......."

"You...... Really, thank you ......."

"What a stupid thing to say! Get out!"

The pearl struggled to hold the tears from her eyes and not let them fall.

"Then I'm leaving......."

"You wait. ”

She wiped away the tears that had not yet had time to drip from her eyes, and whispered to the back,

"From tomorrow onwards, we will be strangers. All my life, all I am. ”

“.……..”

"I will really forget our past, you continue to be your concubine, I will continue to be my concubine. You love your wife, I love my emperor, eternal life, only a stranger. ”

"....... good. ”

Taifu's voice fell, and the door was closed in time.

In the dimly lit room, Pearl was the only one left.

She slowly crouched down, groping for the fallen bracelet on the ground.

That was the birthday gift she planned to give to Taifu.

It's just that later, for various reasons, she couldn't send it out.

This time she came out, she forgot everything, she just didn't forget this.

This important gift.

She was surrounded by bright and dark eyeliner.

In fact, she knew everything, but she didn't say it.

This time, she really took a lot of effort to bring this bracelet out.

In the end, although she brought it out, she never had a chance to give it to him.

"Bracelet...... Where are you ......."

She fell to her knees, groping carefully.

There were no candles in the room, and she couldn't tell what was going on the floor.

She couldn't believe it, she couldn't be sure that the people around her were good people.

It is very likely that Xiaoxiao and Fuxiao are both eyeliners that the emperor inserts around her.

Therefore, she can only do what she can carefully.

However, the results were very disappointing for her.

Even after looking for so long, the bracelet that fell on the ground still couldn't be found.

She remembered that the bracelet had fallen from her hand.

And, she's sure, it's here.

Unless........

"Your Excellency, are you back?"

Fu Xiao sat at the door and carefully watched the situation in the pearl room.

"Yes, it's settled there...... Did I tell you? ”

"Yes, I know. ”

"That's for the best. ”

He smiled and turned to head to his room.

The moment he turned, a bright light flashed from his hand.

"My lord, what do you have in your hand?"

Taifu paused and turned around slowly.

A string of jet-black, shiny bracelets glowed faintly on his hands.

"Yes, something sent by a very important person. ”

In the back room, a small figure ran away.
