There are no absolutes.

Nothing lasts forever, towering mountains turn to the ground, huge races become extinct, and even the shining sun in the sky loses its light. What can be said to be eternal?

But there is still an absolute, something that accompanies death as the end point, something that belongs only to human beings, something that is changeable but has a miraculous hardness - emotion.

"No matter what happens, it is not as important as Your Majesty's safety. ”

"Obey the king's orders. ”

Ye Daiwan was still frowning in her dream. This time she did not dream of strange enemies, nor of pools of blood. More precisely, she didn't dream. Empty dreams, but still aroused by keen intuition, panic. She didn't even know what she was worried about.

However, there are similarities between people and livestock.

This time, it was not Ye Daiwan who fell asleep by herself, but was awakened by a howl that was so sharp that it was about to shatter the glass.

"Ahhhhh——!h

What sound?, Ye Daiwan struggled to sit up.

It's been a mess outside. Lu Shushen rushed into the dormitory with a shield full of blood and knife marks. Looking at the other party's calm and pale cheeks, Ye Daiwan also felt that she was having another nightmare. In reality, how could Lu Shushen trample on her own bottom line so much and appear in front of her in such an embarrassed manner.

"Shushen?" Ye Daiwan said suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, the palace has been surrounded. General Jiang Ying sent people to inform General Bai Siye, who was defending the city, three times, but without success. General Jiang Ying has been fighting bloodily for two days and two nights, and now he doesn't know when reinforcements will come. Lu Shushen knelt in front of Ye Daidu, put the shield aside, and said solemnly.

"What! ahem......" Ye Daiwan said too quickly, choking on her own saliva.

Lu Shushen hurriedly stepped forward and patted her on the back. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"No problem. Go on. Has the main hall been breached now?" Ye Daiwan clenched her fists, blood, such a strong smell of blood, it was still a fresh feeling. Lu Shushen was also injured. What the hell is going on outside? Ye Daiwan was anxious, but at this moment, she couldn't help at all because of the high fever.

"Not yet, but due to the decrease in the number of Praetorian Guards, the defense of the main hall is getting weaker and weaker, and the number of assassins who have infiltrated has increased. Lu Shushen swallowed another sentence. Casualties have already begun to appear among the maids.

If His Majesty had known about the presence of so many victims when she was seriously ill, she would have been in great pain. Because she couldn't be more gentle. Only His Majesty would care about the lives of these lowly people as equally precious treasures.

However, in fact, even if Lu Shushen didn't say it, Ye Daiwan could still guess the truth. Because the blood on her body was too strong. If it weren't for the enemies that the maids couldn't deal with, then it would not have been Lu Shushen's turn to be injured. Although Ye Daiwan keeps saying equality, there is still a strict hierarchy even among the maids.

Someone is dead. What she liked, some of the flowers she had worked so hard to water, had withered.

Ye Daiwan grabbed her chest and trembled for a long time. But in the end, she still didn't expose Lu Shushen. Because she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, her tears would be uncontrollable. The people she loved, the people who loved her, the meaning of her existence in this world, were killed by those stupid, cruel and ruthless people.

But she didn't do anything. She gasped in pain. She hated families who disregarded human lives for the sake of profit, and she hated Assassins who did not know the value of life and saw it as a trade, and she hated ...... Herself. I can't do anything by myself.

As before, she lost her brother, lost her mother, lost Meow, lost all the people she loved. Is life a cycle of death? You can never escape the nightmare of fate.

However, this nightmare is far from waking up.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to hesitate. You have to leave. Lu Shushen was very calm.

"Withdraw, how to go?" Ye Daiwan hadn't realized what the sadness in those eyes meant.

Lu Shushen's eyes revealed a sense of perseverance as iron. "Your Majesty, escape through the tunnels. It's no longer here. ”

"How can there be a tunnel?How to retreat?" Ye Daiwan was still thinking about how to ensure safety when retreating. The people who were cut off were too dangerous, but if there was no one to stop them, then those who had escaped before could only be chased and slaughtered. It's all too dangerous.

But the assassin, no, this kind of ferocity, without the slightest concern, blatantly attacked, it can already be regarded as forcing the palace.

"There is a secret passage to escape in the Hall of Eternal Life, and we have found it. Lu Shushen smiled weakly, reassuringly. It's a pity that this tunnel can only be used this time, and when the matter is understood, His Majesty must send someone to block the tunnel and reopen it. After all, the maids in the main hall who were looking for each other already knew the location.

No, maybe not.

Thinking of the end, Lu Shushen couldn't bear her grief. But she can't, absolutely can't. It will be seen through by His Majesty. There was absolutely no way she would want to run away alone. Because she's their majesty.

"That's great. But how can you hide your eyes and ears and escape quietly? The risk is too high for the last person to go. Ye Daiwan was still struggling with this non-existent problem. "Otherwise, let's find someone to go out from the tunnel and inform Bai Siye. So that I can stay in the temple safely. ”

"No!" Lu Shushen subconsciously called out, and then covered up. "It's not safe inside the palace anymore, wouldn't it be better to find a safe place outside the palace to wait for the opportunity. And Your Majesty is still unwell, and staying in the Hall of Eternal Life is also our weakness. ”

"You're right. Ye Daiwan also knew that she couldn't be of any use now, and it was also the most fatal weakness of Lu Shushen and the others. It's cumbersome, it's a little sour to make Ye Daidu. Wait, no!

Ye Daiwan grabbed the conjecture that flashed in her mind and scolded sternly. "You want me to run away alone!"

"Not really. Lu Shushen could only persuade her. "It's not what Your Majesty said. Instead, I hope that Your Majesty will deploy the generals who defend the city to wipe out all the thieves in the palace. That's the best option. ”

Ye Daiwan looked directly at her. Lie.

"I'm not leaving. Ye Daiwan said a word, and blocked all the words of persuasion of Lu Shushen in her chest. "I will not abandon you and flee alone when you are in danger. If I do that, what face will I have to be your majesty? Do you want me to be an emperor who lives in secret?"

Ye Daiwan made up her mind, no one would agree to it. Because she knew that if she was still here, these people would definitely fight for their breath and refuse to die easily. If she leaves, then for them, there is no point in protection.

At the moment of life and death, this breath decides too many things.

"Not really. Your Majesty, this is not abandoning us, but we need you to save us. Lu Shushen's back was soaked with sweat. His Majesty has already decided on something, and he easily refuses to change it. But His Majesty must not be allowed to stay any longer. The reality of the situation is even more sinister.

"Your Majesty, it's not the family that rebelled, it was the Queen Mother who forced the palace. ”
