After he said that, there was no sound of a single person in the cave, except for the gurgling water outside and the birdsong in the forest, it was as quiet as the heartbeat of this moment, and there was a warm breath like a spring breeze in March diffused around.

I just feel that even my heart is warm.

Gently moved closer to him, half snuggling, half hugging him, but whether I leaned on him or he leaned on mine, I didn't feel the burden at all, and even--those past pains and unbearable memories on my body were negligible at this moment.

Only at this moment, his gentleness, is real.

He seemed to feel my almost cat-like clingy intimacy, eager to melt his body into him, looked down at me, didn't say anything, just gently rubbed the top of my head with his chin, let me fit deeper into his arms.

The two of them just sat like that.

It took a while for me to let him go and get busy again.

Although the atmosphere is rare and tranquil, our current situation is not optimistic. The injury on his back is not easy to heal, and the injury on his forehead is not light, although the man doesn't care about the skin, but the broken appearance is not good-looking after all. I treated him for another back injury, then chewed the herb that had been used to reduce the swelling of the wound and put it in the palm of my hand, lifted his chin, and carefully applied it to his forehead.

As soon as the medicine was applied, I heard him "hiss" and inhaled a cool breath.

Looking at his slightly frowning brows, knowing that he was in pain, I smiled instead: "Do you know it hurts?" ”

He was so painful that he couldn't clench his teeth, and trembled slightly: "You and I became a stone?" ”

"I really thought you were hard-hearted."

Speaking of this, his face was also solemn, he raised his eyes to look at my somewhat gloomy eyes, and said softly: "You blame me for not suing you in advance?" ”

“……”

I didn't speak, but I used a little more strength in my hands.

His eyebrows furrowed, and he could see that he was in pain, but he didn't cry out for pain anymore, just endured it silently. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "I thought you would understand. ”

My hands trembled a little, and I stopped, looking at him.

The two of them were already snuggling, and at such a close distance, I could almost count each of his eyelashes, trembling with the heartbeat; I can also feel each other's breath blowing on my face, bringing a warm and faint tingling sensation that spreads all the way to my heart.

I thought you'd get the idea.

In fact...... I thought I would understand.

Someone once said that I am the most sensible woman, and I can judge right and wrong and severity most soberly; Originally, I knew who he was, and I should know him better than anyone else here, and believe in him.

I should have believed him, but I didn't.

Not only did I not believe him, but I even doubted him-

Thinking of this, I shut my mouth.

The atmosphere became a little dull, but I still carefully applied the medicine to him, tore off a petticoat to help him bandage it, and then gently wiped the area around the wound. I didn't speak, and neither did he, but I could feel his eyes fixed on me, and in this silence, he seemed a little uneasy, and said softly, "Do you have a lot to ask me?" ”

“……”

"If you ask, I'll tell."

My hand paused on his wound and slowly looked into his eyes: "When did it start?" ”

"You mean—"

"Your plan with the Emperor."

What I think of should be before and after he took over as the lieutenant of the light car, during that time he had a close relationship with the emperor, often going in and out of the imperial study, and Fu Badai, he gave Pei Yuanhao those bad ideas openly and secretly, it should be from that time, they have decided to get rid of Shen Gongyun and his forces.

But his answer was much more than I expected.

"Before the teacher came to Beijing."

"What?"

Looking at my stunned look, Liu Qinghan nodded and said seriously: "Actually, the emperor's holy decree to the teacher before, the teacher threw it away when he heard it, and he didn't care about it; But the emperor later placed another post, in the name of the teacher's old friend's daughter, and in that post, there was also a secret letter. ”

I was stunned, wasn't Pei Yuanhao's post to Fu Badai later the idea I gave Chang Qing at that time, in the name of Liu Zhaoyi?

It dawned on me a little bit.

That post is in the name of Liu Li, but it is just a face-saving statement, but no matter how condescending it is, Fu Badai and her are not even friends in Pingshui, and they will definitely not go to Beijing for her face; It's just that because it was Liu Li's post, some people with ulterior motives would relax their vigilance, but they didn't expect that this qiē was just a trick.

What really works is Pei Yuanhao's secret letter!

I hurriedly asked, "Is that what the secret letter says?" ”

"Hmm." Qinghan nodded and said, "I read the secret letter to the teacher, and he didn't speak again, but after being locked up in the house for three days, he came out again, and he had already decided to go to Beijing." ”

I see.

It seems that Pei Yuanhao invited Fu Badai to go to Beijing, which was really a risky move, but he was right to win and seek danger, Fu Badai really entered Beijing, and he was really willing to use it for him.

It's just that, maybe this plan was not light at first, but because of Fu Badai's eyes, this qiē plan was known to him, so he was involved, and it was called a crucial chess piece in the whole chess game.

Now that I think about it, I can almost figure it out.

Fu Badai's entry into Beijing implicated the slow rise of the entire southern forces in the court, and the emperor had already made obvious tendencies, and Shen Gongyi's side naturally had to respond; And my relationship with Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanhao seems to have become a gap in this bureau, so he told Liu Qinghan how I have been in the palace over the years, deliberately provoking and dividing Qinghan, coupled with Fu Badai's bad habit of liking students, so that Qinghan can go over and be honest in the past, and made a superficial article.

Of course, a treacherous and cunning person like Shen Gongyun would not believe it lightly, and they didn't really want him to believe in Qinghan.

In fact, both sides are acting in a play and a game of chess.

It's just that chess is out of the game.

Stealing talismans and invoking Wen Fengxi, I've already figured these out. But when I think about it now, it's just a few words, but only those who have really experienced it can know the thrill and tension involved.

I don't know how to do it and how to endure it.

But-

Thinking back to the most surprising person in that big battle, I raised my head and looked at Qing Han: "That speechless desire, you have seen it a long time ago?" ”

For some reason, when it comes to the lack of desire, the cold expression becomes a little strange.

He looked at me for a while, and nodded, "Hmm." ”

I've been wondering before, if it's a talisman, Wen Fengxi's side can send someone over to connect with Qinghan; But that old Taoist priest, he was in the deep palace and didn't know anything about the spring hunt, how did he know when to come here? Before he said that he would come as agreed, I kept wondering what their agreement was.

Hearing me ask, Qing Han's expression became even more strange, he hesitated for a long time, looked to the side with a flickering eye, and said, "Yes, it's the eldest princess." ”

"Eldest princess?" I was stunned - Pei Yuanzhen?

At the mention of her, my eyebrows twisted unconsciously: "She, what's wrong?" ”

Qing Han glanced at me, and said with some hesitation: "It was I who told her that this time against the emperor, I left out an important piece of evidence, which can prove that the emperor was a conspiracy to usurp the throne when he first ascended the throne." As long as you get that evidence, the emperor will naturally ......"

I understood immediately.

To deal with the emperor, Pei Yuanzhen is naturally happy to see it; And this matter is a light cold matter, she will inevitably be-

Speaking of which, she is also a delicate princess, no matter what the situation is, even Pei Yuanhao did not let her be wronged, and actually returned to the capital for him Liu Qinghan with a word.

Thinking of this, my heart can't help but sink a little.

No wonder, now that I think about it, I didn't see Pei Yuanzhen again shortly after the spring hunt began, but there were too many worries and entanglements at that time, and I didn't care too much, and now I understand that it was Qinghan who transferred her back to the capital; As soon as he saw the eldest princess return to Beijing, he knew that the situation had changed, so he immediately left the palace and went north.

But-

I stretched out my hand and held his somewhat emaciated face, Liu Qinghan stiffened slightly, and my hand was also slightly forced, so that his gaze could not be avoided, and he looked at me: "Is this all?" ”

"......" his gaze flickered more and more: "What? ”

I bit my lower lip and said, "Why does it have to be her?" ”

As a message, anyone can do it, besides, Pei Yuanhao has his own useful henchmen, and he can only do better than Pei Yuanzhen when he is dispatched, why should he lie to her if he is her?

When I recalled that on the road, when Pei Yuanzhen took the poetry book and talked about his favorite poems in front of me, he looked almost proud, and there was an indescribable depression and sadness in his heart.

I don't know if it's for her, or for me.

Qing Han was almost nowhere to escape from my gaze, he slowly lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covered those clear eyes, and it seemed that there was also a layer of gloom that could not be dispersed, and after a long silence, he slowly spoke, his voice was hoarse and distant, and it seemed so strange-

"That way, she can avoid this fight."

“……！”

My heart skipped a beat.

What did he say?

I looked up, my breathing and heartbeat were completely out of order, and I looked at the eyes that were so dark that I could barely see through them, my voice sounded in pieces, and I trembled, "What did you say?" ”

“……”

"You say it again?"

“……”

He was silent for a long time, and finally slowly raised his eyes to look at me, but there was an unusual calm: "I lied to her like this in order to let her avoid this battle." ”
