As soon as I heard him talk about the cold palace, my fingertips trembled.

At that time, my heart was really dead, and my body seemed to have reached the end of my life, every day was like the last day, and every night before going to bed, I thought that I might not wake up, and when I was beaten by Yuwen, I really hoped that I wouldn't wake up again.

But he came back and saved me, not just my life.

For me, he risked the world's disapproval to confront the emperor, and almost said that he had reached the Jedi, but now I have to turn back and return to Pei Yuanhao's side.

Thinking of this, I also had a feeling that I couldn't raise my head, and said sadly: "Lord Wang......"

He squeezed my fingertip hand with a little force, and said, "Qingying, you promise me not to let anyone hurt you again, no one can." ”

“……”

"If—if he really is—you must sue me at once!"

His words were concerned, and the palm of my hand was also hot, the same as his heart, but this sentence was in my ears, but there was an indescribable piercing cold, I looked up at him, looking at his heavy eyes: "I'm really afraid, if I come back a little later that time, maybe I won't see you." ”

I shrank from the hot tears, and I gently pulled my hand out of his hand, stroked his well-defined cheeks, and choked up, "It's okay." He said that he would treat me well. ”

“……”

"He said he wouldn't let me get hurt again."

“……”

"Xiao Wu...... I'm sorry. ”

When I said the last word, my tears finally fell and fell on his hands, I didn't know what he had been looking forward to, I gave him this vague expectation, but after all, I still didn't give him a result.

It's me, I'm sorry for him.

Hearing these three words, he smiled, the smile was indescribably bitter, and all the streamers in his eyes flashed at this moment, and he could never see it again.

He smiled lightly: "You didn't feel sorry for me, you can't make you like me, it's useless for me." ”

"Xiao Wu ......"

"Qingying, if you are unlucky, I will give you happiness, and if you are happy, I will give you blessings." He reached out and closed the back of my hand and whispered, "I just want you to be happy." ”

I looked at him with teary eyes, I couldn't say anything, I was choked up and almost lost my voice, he smiled vaguely, leaned over gently, and felt his trembling breath close to my lips, but it didn't fall after all, but slowly moved to my forehead and touched it.

It was the simplest, cleanest kiss, not even a hint of lingering, he looked down at me and smiled, then turned and walked out.

In fact, at that moment, I seemed to have felt something in my heart.

In such a big era, it is really a blessing to be able to love someone without concern, but if a love needs to be owned by a lot of debt, then it is doomed to his hardships and pains.

It's a pity that I didn't fully understand it at that time.

The emperor had already taken people to Qingshui Canal, and most of them went to Liu Yi's mourning hall, and the state capital suddenly quieted down.

But I know that this kind of quietness is the same as the current quietness of Yangzhou City.

There is always a brief moment of quiet before the storm, and it is difficult to say how much of a role the Assassins will play when they return; The Katsukyo side sent people all the way south, and they would not let their plans fall through because we sent a few Assassins back.

What's more, that person is Nangong Lizhu.

Thinking back to the woman who is always spotless and not as beautiful as a person in this world, there will still be a faint sourness in my heart.

Pei Yuanhao is not a person who talks a lot, but he said so many things to me last night, every sentence seemed to be exhausted, and every word was deeply seared into my heart - but not a word mentioned her.

It's not that I don't understand what this means, in fact, I've always been used to not thinking, not comparing, not fighting, in the past I believed that happiness is man-made, as long as you work hard, and work harder, you can get it; But when I spent five full years, and I still couldn't get out of the palace, I also understood something.

Sometimes, happiness is not man-made.

I can change a lot of things in reality, but I can't change fate.

"Girl, what are you thinking?"

Shui Xiu's crisp voice interrupted my thoughts, and when I looked up, I saw that she was walking in through the door, her red face full of joy. I put the food box on the table, brought out a bowl of soup with a rich aroma, and brought it to me: "Let's drink a little faster." ”

"What is this?"

"The emperor ordered it, and the small kitchen was just delivered."

No wonder her face was full of joy, Pei Yuanhao accompanied me all night last night, she is a smart girl, she naturally saw some signs, and said with a smile: "You have to take care of your body quickly, so that the emperor will not worry." ”

I smiled faintly: "What are you happy about?" ”

"Nope." She raised her eyebrows and said seriously, but in the end she couldn't help laughing, and whispered: "When the emperor went out in the morning, he rewarded me." ”

"Really?"

"I also praised me for being clever and taking care of you wholeheartedly."

"Oh......"

Seeing her happy appearance, I also smiled faintly. A person who has ascended to heaven is not necessarily a good word, but what he said is a fact, she and Mama Wu, who is still in the palace, and Xiaoyu, who has been sent away by me, did not get any benefits from me, but suffered a lot, although she didn't say anything, but as a palace maid, she still hopes that the master can be favored after all, and they will suffer less.

Come to think of it, at that time, I didn't care about breaking with Pei Yuanhao, although I conformed to my heart, I didn't take care of them at all, and I was really selfish.

So he smiled: "Then, I will praise you more in front of him in the future, and let him reward you more, okay?" ”

Hearing me say this, an indescribable surprise appeared on Shui Xiu's face, and after a long time, he said softly: "Girl, if you say this, I dare to believe that you really want to reconcile with the emperor." ”

Seeing her cautious appearance, I smiled, lowered my head and began to drink the soup in her hand.

This soup is really boiled very well, there is a lot of medicinal food in it, at least four hours or more, the taste is delicious and rich, and the entrance makes people feel refreshed.

My wrist was stepped on on the day of the chaos in the court, although the bones were fine, but I couldn't move for the time being, Shui Xiu carefully served me after drinking the soup, and just wiped my mouth, I heard a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, I looked up and saw that Liu Zhaoyi was standing at the door with a few maids.

I was stunned for a moment - why is she here?

Shui Xiu is very protective of me, especially today Pei Yuanhao only went out of my room in the morning, and now Liu Li came over, she naturally thought too much, walked over and said: "I don't know if Zhaoyi Niangniang arrived, what are your orders?" ”

Liu Zhaoyi didn't look at her, walked straight to the bed, and looked down at the wound on my face.

"Hurt?"

"Let Zhaoyi remember."

"I heard that you have been persuading the emperor not to behead those assassins."

…… It turned out that she was here for this.

I sighed, raised my head and said to Shui Xiu, who was about to go this way, "You go down first." ”

"Girl, but—"

I didn't speak, just looked at her, Shui Xiu pursed her lips, turned around and left unwillingly, and the people brought by Liu Zhaoyi also retreated outside the door, and as soon as the door closed, only me and her were left in the room.

Liu Li exudes an aura of indifference from the first time I saw her, even when she was with Pei Yuanhao and smiling, this aura has not changed, and now when I talk about it, with me, this aura is even stronger.

She looked down at me and said coldly: "How are you and the emperor, how are you in the harem, I never want to care, but I tell you, you had better not interfere in the affairs of Yangzhou." ”

I thought about it, but said, "Zhaoyi, those assassins have been beheaded, do you have anything else to be unwilling about?" ”

"Beheaded? Can I get my father and my brother back if I cut off my head? ”

"But now that your life has been repaid, your resentment should be gone."

"That's because your relatives didn't die so unjustly at the hands of southerners, of course you can say it so easily!" Her eyes were red, and she said hatefully, "But my father, my only brother, was killed by them!" ”

Looking at her appearance, my heart trembled a little, and said, "You, what else do you want?" ”

She looked down at me, her eyes were calm: "What do I want, you don't need to know, I just look at you and give you a piece of advice, you better take care of the affairs of the south, otherwise-" She glanced down at the porcelain bowl that was still exuding a rich fragrance, and said coldly: "The emperor's gift, come and go quickly!" ”

My heart sank, and she had turned and walked out.

"Zhaoyi!"

I was anxious to persuade her, and staggered out with a hard stand, but as soon as I walked to the door, my weak body could no longer support it and fell, I hurriedly held on to the door frame, but a sharp pain in my wrist hit, and suddenly the whole person fell to the ground ugly.

I raised my head, and I wanted to say something to her, who had already walked away, but at a glance, I saw several people flashing outside the courtyard.

This time I went south by boat, and every day I bowed my head and didn't look up to see each other, and I knew each other somewhat, and I could see at a glance that it was a few people who followed Shen Gongyi south.

A sense of unease welled up in my heart.

Shen Rou did to me in the harem, and Shen Gongyi must have known it, so I have always avoided them, and the way he looked at me was not my illusion, and it was different.

Now, Pei Yuanhao has clearly reconciled with me, and even went out of my house in the morning, of course Shen Gonghao already knew, but he didn't expect that he would send someone to keep an eye on this side so soon.

Thinking of this, I swallowed the words I wanted to speak.

Shui Xiu had been guarding beside me, and when she saw me at this time, her face turned white with fright, and she hurriedly rushed over to help me up: "Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?" Did you fall somewhere? ”

My knees and body hurt a lot, but I couldn't care about it, and said with a pale face: "It's okay, help me go back." ”

"Oh, good, good!"

She half-supported and half-carried me and walked slowly towards the house, and I endured the pain and glanced back.

Shin Gong-jun...... Liu Zhaoyi......

Secretly opposed, open opponents, what do I have to face in Yangzhou?
