When Xia Chuli came to Qian Baihan's house, he saw Chu Lie coming out of it, Xia Chuli looked at him hoarsely and asked, "General, can you rest?" ”

Chu Lie shook his head, "I haven't stopped yet, Miss, please come in." ”

Xia Chuli answered, glanced at the sky dyed red by the setting sun, and stepped into the room alone.

Qian Baihan was sitting at the round table drinking tea, with a coat on his body, and his whole face looked pale and tired.

"Sit down!" Qian Baihan heard the sound, glanced back at Xia Chuli, and then instructed the people in the house: "You all go down first!" ”

"Yes." The only two maids in the house brushed their bodies and left Qian Baihan's house one after another.

Xia Chuli sat opposite Qian Baihan, and when the footsteps were far away, Qian Baihan looked at her and asked, "Come here now, can you have dinner?" ”

Xia Chuli shook his head, his fingers clenched the handkerchief in his hand, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Qian Baihan: "If I die, will Your Majesty blame the general?" ”

Qian Baihan was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face became extremely serious: "Chu Li, do you want to seek death?" ”

"I'm just talking!" Xia Chuli smiled bitterly, and also felt that his idea was a little ridiculous, "After the people in the palace left, I told the general that I didn't want to enter the palace and didn't want to get married, so why did the general ask Shuang Ling to persuade me?" ”

Qian Baihan held the teacup in his hand, only to feel that his throat was dry for a while, so he couldn't speak, he took a sip of tea, and said to Xia Chuli: "I am no longer a general, no one knows what will happen in the future, I can't protect you." Even trying to find a good family for you has become difficult now. ”

This sentence has revealed full helplessness, yes! The position of general has been given to Yang Yuecheng, but Zhou Qingwu did not say what position Qian Baihan should go.

Now, no one can guess what Zhou Qingwu means.

"Your Majesty has always valued generals, why did you want to do this this time?" Xia Chuli wanted to say a lot of things, but the words came to his lips, and I don't know why, but it became this sentence.

"Yang Yuecheng's family is well-off, three generations are loyal generals to the country, when the Yang family fought on the front line, they made many military exploits, and now the situation has gradually stabilized, Yang Yuecheng continues to stay in the position of Sanpin general, which is indeed inappropriate." When Qian Baihan said this, he coughed twice and continued: "I have no family background, and I don't have a clan as a backer, compared to Yang Yuecheng, it is true that Yang Yuecheng is more beneficial to His Majesty." ”

Xia Chuli said: "But Yang Yuecheng didn't make any contributions, but he relied on his family to get to his current position, how can he be compared with the general?" ”

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Qian Baihan's mouth: "But now, the wood is done, and I have no choice." ”

After Yang Yuecheng became a general, Zhou Qingwu never sent anyone to send anything again, and even in a few days, even the imperial doctor sent before was not allowed to come to diagnose the pulse.

A lot of things are quietly changing, and he sees them all.

"How so?" At the beginning of Xia, Li sat on the round bench in a distraction, and now she is looking for death, presumably Zhou Qingwu will only withdraw the temporary glory of Qian Baihan now, and it will only affect Qian Baihan even more.

"I know you don't want to get married, and you don't want to enter the palace." Qian Baihan looked at her and said, "I understand." ”

The last four words, Qian Baihan said very heavily, and a trace of surprise crossed in Xia Chuli's eyes, "The general understands?" ”

Qian Baihan nodded, "Yes." ”

Xia Chuli was silent, and only after a while did he look at him and say, "I have always liked the general in my heart, I thought that the general never knew, it turned out that I was wrong." ”

Qian Baihan's heart trembled, although he had long seen that Xia Chuli was different from him, but hearing her say this sentence with his own ears was a different feeling.

"What about the general? The general has ever had even a slight liking for me? ”

Seeing that Qian Baihan was speechless, Xia Chuli looked at him and asked deeply.

"I've always treated you like a sister." Qian Baihan sighed and said to Xia Chuli: "I once said that this is your home, and I will be your relative, and this will not change." ”

Before the words fell, Xia Chuli's eyes were already covered with a layer of tears, and she only felt that her heart was indescribable, Qian Baihan's words shattered all the illusions in her heart.

"Does the general really not like me at all?"

She asked without giving up, but Qian Baihan sighed and answered her question.

"The person the general likes, but Miss Lu?" Xia Chuli's mind was in turmoil, and as soon as this sentence came out, she regretted it a little.

She didn't want to know the answer, because she was afraid, afraid of hearing Qian Baihan say to herself what she didn't want to hear.

Qian Baihan shook his head, "Lu Qingzi saved my life, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated." ”

"You misunderstood, I don't have any special thoughts about Lu Qingzi." Qian Baihan sighed, seeing that her eyes were full of tears, and there was a trace of unbearability in her heart.

It's just that these words are not a lie to comfort her, he really doesn't care about Lu Qingzi in his heart, because he knows that Lu Qingzi only has Wen Ye in his eyes, and others can't take away even half of his sincerity.

Although Qian Baihan likes not her, she is not Lu Qingzi.

Xia Chuli sat on the round stool and nodded, I don't know why, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She didn't hate Lu Qingzi, but every time, Qian Baihan's care for Lu Qingzi and the eyes she gave to Lu Qingzi made her feel a kind of envy in her heart.

This envy squeezed in her heart, and in the dead of night, she couldn't breathe.

She raised the handkerchief in her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said slowly to Qian Baihan: "Yes! This matter is because I am too careful. ”

Qian Baihan saw her wipe her tears, thought for a moment and then said, "So, what do you want?" ”

"Let me think about it."

When Qian Baihan heard her answer like this, he didn't press her, but only said, "Well, don't worry, there are still a few days." Let's go back and rest after eating here! ”

Xia Chuli replied and glanced at the sky outside.

As he spoke, the sun had completely set, and it would not be long before the night would leave the curtain.

Marrying someone, or entering the palace, it makes no difference to her now.

She already knew that no matter how she chose, the person who accompanied her would not be Qian Baihan.

It's just that just now, when she heard Qian Baihan say that sentence with her own ears, she still felt like a knife and it was difficult to control herself.

At the beginning of Xia, Li sighed faintly, this heartache is afraid that it will take a lifetime to calm down.
