Feeling that my whole body trembled, Pei Yuanhao glanced down at his hand, and his eyes flashed slightly.

I thought he was going to say something, but he didn't say anything, just slowly let go of my hand, then put his fingers together, clenched them into a fist, and put them to the side of his body.

This is not a cover-up, nor an explanation, it is just like this, to pass this matter.

Both of them fell silent for a moment.

I looked at him for a while, thought about it, and didn't ask, just lowered my head, stretched out my hand and gently straightened my clothes, and then said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has just woken up, and I saw a body of blood, I'm afraid that I'm also frightened, do you need to take a break, and then, the folk girl will tell you something." ”

He looked at me, "You think I'm scared?"

“……”

"Or do you think that what you want to say, I won't be able to accept it?"

“……”

I thought for a while, and said softly: "Minnu just thinks that this matter may make His Majesty uncomfortable. ”

As soon as I said this, I heard him take a deep breath - it was he who clenched his fist, and the wound in his palm was probably cracked deeper, and it really hurt him to the bone marrow, but he took that breath, gritted his teeth, held on for a long time, and then said, "You say." ”

"......" I was silent for a while, and then said, "The people who rebelled this time, in addition to the ones that the folk girl told His Majesty just now, there is another one. ”

He kept a calm face.

"Nangong Shangshu. ”

“……”

"He, he should also be among the rebels this time, but he has not shown up. However, from some clues, the folk girl speculated that he had been giving them advice. ”

Before he said this, I thought he must have had some reaction, if not a rage, but some emotional fluctuations, and he, and he did, but he did nothing, not even say anything, just clenched the hand hard, and the mattress under his hand was a large blood-red color.

I said softly, "Your Majesty." ”

“……”

He didn't speak, but I saw that his finger bones were almost white, and the red was even more open, and he suddenly said hurriedly: "Your Majesty!"

He looked up at me.

Then, looking at his hand again, he suddenly chuckled, and the laughter was full of ridicule, as if there was a sense of coldness that he had seen through.

After a while, he said: "It seems that there are some people who are like this, one road to the dark, nine cows can't pull back." ”

“……”

"In that case, it's better to send him away. ”

“……”

Hearing this, my heart jumped suddenly, and the hand that was originally pinching the corner of his clothes also used a slight force, he raised his eyes to look at me, as if he also felt something, and said calmly: "Could it be that you still think that I am too ruthless to him?"

I shook my head, "No." ”

"Then you-"

"Majesty," I also looked at him, and my eyes were somewhat gloomy: "Majesty has asked so many people and so many things, why hasn't you asked one person alone?"

At this point, his breathing suddenly stopped.

It's like a wound that has been engraved on the heart for a long time, just because it is scabbed, because I deliberately don't look at it, as if there is no zài, but on the contrary, the wound is so weak, just a sentence, it is presented in front of me with fresh blood.

The name Nangong Lizhu, even if you don't say it, is like a haze that hangs over people's hearts.

He was silent for a while, and did not look at me, but said, "What are you going to sue sù me?"

"Could it be that His Majesty really doesn't care about her?"

“……”

"Or, is your majesty afraid to know about her?"

“……”

He lowered his head and slowly lifted his hand.

The hand that had been completely soaked in blood was bright red, and the wound on the palm of the palm had cracked to the edge of the palm, I didn't know if I saw the bones, but I just looked at the blood-red wound, and I also felt shocked, and the palm even broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.

He looked at it for a long time, as if even the corners of his eyes were dyed with blood red in his palms, and then he said slowly: "Say it." ”

“……”

I took a deep breath, and then said: "Minnu, in fact, I can't be sure that among the rebellious people, there is Nangong Shangshu, until half an hour ago, they came to negotiate with us and asked us to hand over two people, otherwise, they will immediately attack the Jixian Hall and kill the people here." ”

He looked at me: "Who, and whom?"

"I, and the concubine. ”

His eyes flickered, staring at me, as if he was afraid that the next moment, in the blink of an eye, I would disappear from his eyes, and said hurriedly: "Then you-"

I said calmly: "Jixian Hall is not a place that can be defended, and the manuscripts and historical materials here are probably Fu Lao's last efforts, I can't let them destroy this place again." So, I agreed to their terms. ”

His gaze was a little more ruthless.

"However, we can't fully agree, otherwise, we will all leave the Jixian Palace, and they will be even more unscrupulous. ”

"So what?"

"So, I decided, let one go out first, delay them for a while, we are here, waiting for reinforcements from outside the palace. ”

He looked at me, "You-"

I looked into his eyes, didn't dodge, didn't have any cover, and said calmly: "Guifei Niangniang, I'm already out." ”

“……”

Next, the entire side hall fell silent.

I could feel his breathing stopping, and even his heart seemed to stop, and the hand he had raised in front of him did not move, but blood poured out of his palm, dripping down, and in a few moments, a large patch of blood red came out of his long shirt.

I didn't speak, I just sat there in silence, waiting for him quietly.

……

I don't know how long it took, but his hands slowly closed again, and clenched into fists.

Blood, down his wrists, stained almost half of his arms red.

His face was a little pale from blood loss, but he couldn't hide the slight redness in his eyes, and after a while, he said slowly, "You do this-"

I looked at him.

"That's right. ”

“……”

"At this time, only by stabilizing them can we find a glimmer of life. ”

As he spoke, he looked at me, with a bit of undisguised appreciation in his eyes, but behind that appreciation, there seemed to be a thick haze, and said: "Light, you can always make the most calm judgments and decisions when the situation is the worst." In this regard, no one in the world is as good as you. ”

“……”

Hearing his words, I didn't know why, but I smiled bitterly in my heart.

I don't have the leisure to receive such compliments, and I don't even like them—after all, no one wants to have too many "worst-case times" in their lives.

However, I didn't expect him to say such things to me.

Even before, I wasn't worried that he would be furious because I handed over Nangong Lizhu first, after all, he was such a person, at a critical time, he would not make the most situational, the most favorable judgment and choice for himself, just like the last time, in the Juma River Valley-but, hearing his relieved words, I was a little depressed, and even my heartbeat sank.

He watched me slowly lower my head, showing only eyelashes, and said, "She, agree to go?"

"Yes. ”

"She, did she say anything?"

"......" I thought about it and said softly, "She wants to live and die with Her Majesty." ”

“……”

However, in order to give His Majesty a chance of life, she still let go of His Majesty's hand. ”

“……”

As I spoke, I glanced at his blood-red palms.

This time, his breathing was a little heavier.

I subconsciously said, "Your Majesty." ”

He said, "I want to be quiet. ”

“……”

I should know that even if this matter will be the same choice for him, it does not mean that he will be indifferent in his heart.

So, I said softly, "The girl will stand down first-"

I said as I tried to stand up, but before I could finish my sentence, he suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist.

The stickiness of the blood, and the touch of the wound in his palm, made me shudder.

I looked at him with wide eyes, but I didn't look up when I saw him, I only said in a low voice, "You accompany me." ”

“……”

I thought about it for a moment, and slowly sat back down.

Although I know that at this time, time is urgent, and there is not much room for us to "be quiet", or make people sad, but I also understand that people are people, and the heart is made of flesh, and there will be weak rights.

That feeling made me shiver slightly.

Actually, I don't know if he has questions for me, and I have too many questions for him.

For example, this wound.

For example, his unusual vein.

For example, between him and Nangong Lizhu, there are any secrets that I don't know.

However, I can't ask.

He doesn't need to explain to me, these things are not life-threatening matters at this moment.

I pressed the doubts in my heart, and accompanied him like this, I don't know how long it took, I seemed to hear the wind outside more noisy, as if the mountain rain was about to come, and I finally couldn't hold it back at this moment, I subconsciously said: "Your Majesty xià-"

Almost at the same time, he let go of my hand.

"What time is it?"

My heart moved, and I hurriedly said, "It's noon." ”

"Lizhu her, how long has it been out?"

"Two moments. ”

"How many troops does Jixian Hall have?"

I was just about to answer, when suddenly, I heard a rush of footsteps outside, and I hurriedly turned around, and I heard the footsteps stop at the door of the side hall, and someone was banging on the door outside.

At this moment, it seemed that he didn't care that the emperor was still "resting" here, and when Sun Jingfei spoke, his voice was a little out of tune: "Miss Yan!"
