"It's just you, it's just you......"

He muttered, repeating the words like a spell, but I was dazed for a moment.

Only me?

What is the only me?

I don't understand, and I don't want to understand at this time, so I just struggled and whispered: "Your Majesty, please let go of Weichen first." ”

He didn't speak, but his arms grew harder and harder, and his body that was already tightly bound was still tightly clamped by him, almost as if it were about to melt the two of them together. I only felt a suffocating pain, and subconsciously wanted to break his hand: "Let go of my ......"

At this moment, I was almost a little ashamed, but he didn't let go at all, and he didn't even get angry at me for struggling, he still hugged me so hard, and the more hot breath blew through my ears and cheeks, and finally I felt a soft hot touch coming up.

It was his cheek, which was attached to mine.

I felt like I had been burned, and I struggled hard regardless of it, and as soon as I moved, I heard his deep voice whisper in my ear, "Don't move." ”

“……”

This voice carried a feeling of depression, and while struggling, I also felt the suppressed heat in his body, and suddenly the whole person froze.

"I know you're not in good health."

“……”

"So, that's all I mean to hug you. You don't move. ”

“……”

Although I was unwilling, I really didn't dare to move when I heard him say this.

No matter how reluctant I am, I still know very well who he and I are, and I know more clearly how many people's lives and deaths are in his hands, and if I don't have the belief that I will die, I don't want to challenge his majesty in the red wall of the imperial city, which almost stretches to the sky.

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth, stopped moving, and stood there a little stiffly, letting him wrap around me tightly.

The posture at this moment was extremely ambiguous, and my whole body fell into his arms, my cheeks were close to each other, my breath was entangled, and even the green silk scattered on my shoulders was entangled because of the struggle just now.

A gust of wind swept the cold, and I subconsciously shivered, and I felt those powerful arms wrap me tighter in my arms.

Then, his voice rang in his ears—

"My decree has gone south."

I thought he was going to say something else, but I didn't expect him to bring up the Divine Decree and the South.

Although I live in seclusion these days, and I don't inquire much about the affairs of the court, Chang Qing will still reveal some to me more or less, and on the fourth day after I returned from the Dulai Pavilion, there was a holy decree in the imperial study to go south.

The decree proclaimed the prohibition of the sea.

Although the six provinces south of the Yangtze River have been freed from the jurisdiction of the imperial court, in the end it is still the rule of the Celestial Empire, and the overseas merchant ships docked in the southern public port have been offshore, and some other merchant ships have also been forced to leave.

Of course, this can't prevent them from "giving and receiving privately", and the iron trade has never been able to be put on the surface.

I heard that half a month ago, he had another decree to transfer the Zhoushan Shui Division, and this time, he completely cut off the connection between the southern forces and the overseas forces.

In this way, although the situation is not all reversed, at least he is not so passive.

"If you cut off the source of their weapons, it will be much easier to do it with one qiē."

I said calmly, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

His hands tightened a little tighter, and he hugged me deeply in his arms, and I only felt that my body was affected by the cold air around me and his body temperature, cold and hot, and I was almost so stiff that I almost lost consciousness, and suddenly I heard him say slowly in my ear: "There is one more thing, it is me and you, we will be happy." ”

My heart skipped a beat.

He and I will be happy, ......?

Could it be-

I trembled slightly, trying to turn back to look at him, but he held me hard and didn't even have room to move a little, I spoke, my voice trembling: "You mean-"

"Li'er."

Suddenly, it was as if a thunderclap exploded in my head, and for a moment everything was blank and there was nothing.

Back and forth, only those two words echoed in my head.

Leaving the ......

Leaving the ......

I suddenly turned around in his arms, looked at him with wide eyes, and grabbed his shirt with both hands: "What did you say? Leave?! ”

"Yes," he slid down with his hands and wrapped his arms around my waist, as if he felt me trembling unconsciously, trembling so much that the whole person was about to break, and pulled me towards him with a slight force, but at this time I couldn't feel anything, my whole body and mind were all in Li'er, I saw him bend his eyes slightly, and said to me: "The person I sent has already got some clues about her. ”

"You mean really? She, she's still alive? Where is she? Is she doing well? She-"

I was completely confused, talking incoherently, but I didn't even know what I was going to say, but when I didn't realize it, I suddenly felt a hot and damp heat on my face.

It was tears that welled up in my eyes.

It's been a long time since I've been so happy, so happy that I cry and laugh so much that I can't control myself at all, I don't even care who I'm facing, what will happen if I smile in front of him, what will happen if I cry happily.

My departed, my departed!

Looking at me like this, a smile appeared on his originally calm and smiling face, raised his hands to hold my cheeks, wiped the tears from my face with his calloused and somewhat rough fingers, tried to save the flood, but gave up after a few times, only sighed softly and lowered his head.

When the warm lips touched my cheeks, repeatedly rubbing and ironing, the hotter temperature came, I froze for a moment, my eyes widened in amazement, and I felt his lips slowly move to the corners of my lips, and the tip of his tongue with a salty taste was slightly raised, invading my mouth.

"No—"

I reacted immediately, and the hand that was holding his shirt hurriedly pushed it away, but it was too late, he didn't say a word, pinched my chin and lifted it up, and kissed it hard.

"Hmm!"

I cowered in pain.

I don't know if it's because of happiness, or the faint anger before, he can't control his strength, his jaw is pinched a little painfully, and his tongue brutally breaks in and stirs in my mouth, almost roughly entanglement with my little tongue.

Too long...... It's been too long......

Not only because of the pain, but also because of the ensuing uneasiness made me tremble, and I finally succeeded in pushing him away in a dying struggle.

"Don't!"

He took two steps back in a hurry, and kicked over the brazier next to him with his heel, and suddenly the charcoal fire was scattered all over the ground, and a foul smell permeated the whole room, and the ashes that had been burned before also drifted away, permeating the eyes of the two people.

I took two steps back and hit the window frame, gasping slightly.

A dangerous aura emanated from his body.

I looked at him nervously, afraid that the next moment he would slap him, but after standing for a while, he didn't, not even the anger he imagined, just turned his head to look at the charcoal fire on the ground, some of which had burned to the corners of his clothes, emitting a foul smell of burning.

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he turned his head to look at me.

"It's not good."

“……”

"I said I was just hugging you, but I forgot that your body isn't completely well."

“……”

"I don't blame you."

I was speechless for a moment, just looking at him with nervous eyes.

He didn't get angry, maybe it was good, but at this time it only made me more panicked, because I don't know if the reason why he didn't get angry was because he was happy because he had a clue about Li'er, or if there was a reason why he could suppress his anger.

He still hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and walked up slowly, his steps did not avoid the charcoal fire on the ground at all, and the creaking sound made me more and more uneasy, until he walked in front of me and looked down at me: "In a few days, the state funeral of the Queen Mother will be held in Taimiao." You will go with me. ”

“……”

The Queen Mother's, a state funeral.

Of course, I didn't forget jì, and even counted the time day by day, the Celestial Empire has been fasting vegetarian for more than half a year, in fact, the Queen Mother has been buried in the imperial mausoleum since he returned to the dynasty, this time it is a national gift, and it is naturally huge, different from others.

The meaning in my eyes is also different.

But-

The Queen Mother's state funeral, of course I will go, and I don't even need him to remind everyone to know that the Queen Mother was so close to me when she was alive, and I was by her side before she died, why did Pei Yuanhao say this at this time?

I grew uneasy and trembling as I looked at him.

There was still a faint smile on his face: "Li'er already has a clue, and I will find her back sooner or later." So you- don't think about anything else. ”

“……”

"I'm afraid you'll think too much, so I've pulled out all the people you arranged."

“……！”

My heart sank.

"What did you say?"

The coolness of the autumn wind suddenly turned into a chill, blowing from behind, almost freezing the blood in my whole body into ice in an instant, I couldn't move, and I almost lost my heartbeat, suffocating to look at the face in front of me that was always smiling faintly, but from those deep dark eyes, there was no trace of smile.

He uprooted all my people......

He, has found out.

In fact, after falling off the cliff in the Juma River Valley, although Qinghan and I were bent on escaping, we were not so naïve to think that we were completely sure that we could escape from his clutches, so before we climbed the valley, I had an agreement with him.

Once I am captured by Pei Yuanhao and returned to the palace, the chance of escaping is almost zero, and even going out of the palace to the Dulai Pavilion is closely monitored, let alone at other times.

The only chance is the queen mother's state funeral.

I have a deep relationship with the Queen Mother, and I also believe that he will definitely let me go to the Taimiao, only that time is when I can escape, so these days, I live in a simple place, and I don't even dare to do anything about Nianyun, just afraid that I will fall short.

But I didn't expect it to be ......

Or was he saw through it.

He reached out and carefully lifted my chin, so soft, almost pitiful.

But completely, it's not like that.

He looked down at me, his dark pupils full of a pale, soulless shell: "Qingying, do you remember what I once said? ”

“……”

"At the beginning of Shangyang Palace, there were many scheming women, but you were the only one who dared to play tricks on me."

“……”

"I won't let go of anyone who is scheming with me, and the only one left is you."

“……”

"Because—" He paused, grinding his teeth, and said slowly, "You are the only woman who makes me feel tempted." ”

I couldn't hear anything, I just opened my eyes wide, looking at his face so close, the coals seemed to burn to the corners of my clothes, almost burning my ankles, I didn't feel anything, I just looked at him so weakly.

"So, don't challenge my limits again."

“……”

"After the state funeral, I will canonize you."

His fingers felt that my skin had been trembling, cold to the bone, and after a long silence, he softened his breath a little and said casually: "When Li'er comes back, we will be reunited." ”
