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

At that time, my heart was really ashamed, and my body seemed to have ended. Every day was like the last day. Every night before going to bed, I thought that maybe I couldn't wake up. When I was beaten by Yuwen, I really hoped that I would not wake up again.

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

For me, he took the blame to confront the emperor with a tit-for-tat attitude and almost said that to the Jedi, but now I want to turn back and return to Pei Yuanhao.

Thinking of this, I also felt like I couldn't raise my head and said sadly: "Prince..."

He pinched my fingertips and used a little force, and said, "Qingying, promise me that no one can hurt you anymore, no one can."

“…”

"If-if-if he really-you have to tell me right away!"

His words were concerned, and the palms holding my hand were also hot, just like his heart, but this sentence was indescribable and biting cold in my ears. I looked up at him and looked at his heavy eyes: "I'm really scared. If I came back a little later that time, I might not see you."

The hot tears made me shivered. I gently pulled my hand out of his hand, stroked his clear-lined cheeks, and choked, "It's okay. He said he will treat me well."

“…”

"He said I won't be hurt anymore."

“…”

"Xiao Wu...I'm sorry."

When I said the last word, my tears finally fell down and fell into his hands. It was not that I didn’t know what he had been looking forward to. I gave him this vague expectation, but in the end I didn’t give him a result.

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

Hearing these three words, he smiled, the smile was so bitter that it was indescribable, and all the flowing light in his eyes flashed by at this moment and could never be seen again.

He chuckled softly and said, "You are not sorry for me. You can't make you fall in love with me. It's useless for me."

"Xiao Wu..."

"Qingying, if you are unhappy, I will give you happiness. If you are happy, I will give you blessings." He reached out and closed the back of my hand and whispered: "I just hope you can be happy."

I looked at him with tears in my eyes, unable to say anything, and I was sobbing that I was almost lost. He smiled vaguely, leaned over gently, and felt his trembling breath approaching my lips, but it did not fall, but slowly moved to my forehead and touched it.

This was the easiest and cleanest kiss, and he didn't even have a trace of lingering. He lowered his head and smiled at me, then turned around and walked out.

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

In such a great era, being able to love someone without any concern is really a blessing, but if a love needs to be owned in debt, it will be destined to be difficult and painful.

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

.

The emperor had already taken people to the Qingshui Canal, and most of them went to Liu Yi's mourning hall, and the prefecture suddenly became quiet.

But I know that this kind of silence is the same as the silence in Yangzhou City now.

Before the storm comes, there will always be some short tranquility. It is hard to say how much effect the assassins can play after they go back. Shengjing's side sent people to travel south thousands of miles away, and they would not let their plans go completely just because we let a few assassins go back.

What's more, that person is Nangong Lizhu.

When I think back to the woman who is always spotless and beautiful, she doesn't look like a person in this world, she still feels a hint of sourness in her heart.

Pei Yuanhao is not a talkative person, but he said so many words to me last night, and every sentence seemed to have exhausted his strength. Every word was deeply imprinted into my heart - but there was no word mentioned to her.

It’s not that I don’t understand what this means. In fact, I have always been used to not thinking, comparing, or striving. In the past, I believed that happiness was done by humans. As long as I work hard and work harder, I can get it. But when I spent five years and had done all the work, I still couldn’t leave the palace. I also understood something.

Sometimes, happiness is not something that is done by man.

I can change many things in reality, but I can't change my destiny.

"Miss, what are you thinking?"

The crisp sound of Shuixiu interrupted my thoughts. When she looked up, she was walking in from outside the door, her red face was full of joy. She put the food box on the table, took out a bowl of soup with a strong aroma from it, and delivered it to me: "Drink it quickly."

"What's this?"

"The emperor ordered that the kitchen has just been delivered to you."

No wonder her face was full of joy. Pei Yuanhao stayed with me all night last night. She was a smart girl. Naturally, she saw some signs and said with a smile: "You must keep your body up quickly so that the emperor will not worry."

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

"No." She said seriously with her eyebrows raised, but she couldn't help laughing and said in a low voice: "I rewarded me when the emperor went out in the morning."

"Yeah?"

"I also praise my cleverness and take good care of you."

"oh……"

Seeing her happy look, I also smiled faintly. As soon as she attained the power of the gods, this was not necessarily a good thing, but it was the truth. She, Madam Wu who was still in the palace, and Xiaoyu who had been sent away by me, did not get any benefits, but instead suffered a lot. Although she didn't say anything, as a palace maid, she still hoped that her master would be favored and that they would suffer less.

I think that at that time, I was going to break up with Pei Yuanhao regardless of some care. Although I followed my heart, I didn’t care about them at all, and I was really too selfish.

So I smiled and said, "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. After a long time, he said softly: "Girl, I can only believe that you really want to make up with the emperor."

Looking at her cautious look, I smiled, lowered my head and started drinking the soup in her hands.

The soup was indeed very good. It contained a lot of medicinal food. It took at least four hours to cook it. It tasted delicious and rich, and it made people feel energetic when they were in the mouth.

My wrist was stepped on the day when the chaotic court was in the court. Although my bones were fine, I couldn't move for the time being. Shui Xiu carefully served me after drinking the soup. As soon as she wiped her mouth, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door. I looked up and saw Liu Zhaoyi and a few maids standing at the door.

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

Shui Xiu protects me very much, especially Pei Yuanhao only went out of my room in the morning today, and now Liu Li comes here. She naturally thought too much and walked over to Yifu and said, "I wonder what instructions do you have for Empress Zhaoyi arrive?"

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

"Injured?"

"I'm worried about Zhaoyi."

"I heard that you have been urging the emperor not to kill those assassins."

...It turns out that she came for this matter.

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

"Girl, but-"

I didn't say anything, just looked at her, Shui Xiu pursed her lips and turned around and left unwillingly. The people brought by Liu Zhaoyi also retreated outside the door. Once the door was closed, she and I were the only ones left in the room.

Liu Li has a cold aura scattered from the first time I saw her. Even when I was with Pei Yuanhao and was smiling, this aura has never changed. Now when talking about this matter and being with me, this aura is even stronger.

She looked down at me and said coldly: "I never want to care about how you and the emperor are, how you are in the harem, but I tell you, you'd better not interfere in Yangzhou."

I thought about it and said, "Zhaoyi, those assassins have been beheaded. Are there anything else you are unwilling to give up?"

"Cut your head? Can you return my dad and my brother back after you cut your head?"

"But now you have paid for your life, and your resentment should be gone."

"That's because your relatives did not die so unjustly at the hands of the southerners. Of course you can say so easily!" Her eyes turned red and she said hatefully: "But my father, my only brother, were killed by them!"

Looking at her appearance, my heart trembled and said, "What else do you want?"

She looked down at me, her eyes sternly: "What do I want? You don't need to know. I just like you. I'll give you a piece of advice. You'd better not care about things in the south, otherwise-" She looked down at the porcelain bowl that still smelled richly, and said coldly: "The emperor's gift comes quickly and goes quickly!"

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

"Zhaoyi!"

I was anxious to persuade her, and staggered out with all my strength, but as soon as I reached the door, my weak body could no longer support her and fell down. I hurriedly held the door frame, but a sharp pain on my wrist came, and I suddenly fell to the ground with an ugly look.

I looked up and wanted to say something to her who had already walked away, but at first glance, several people flashed past the yard.

This time I went south by boat. Every day I looked down and saw him without looking up. I knew him at first glance. I could tell at first glance that they were the servants who followed Shin Gongyi to the south.

A hint of uneasiness suddenly surged in my heart.

Everything Shen Rou did to me in the harem must have known by Shin Gong, so I kept avoiding them, and the look he looked at me was not my illusion, and it was different from other people.

Now, Pei Yuanhao had already made peace with me and even left my room in the morning. Of course, Shin Gongyi already knew it, but he didn't expect that he would send someone to stare at this place so quickly.

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

Shui Xiu kept guarding the side. At this time, she saw me so scared that her face turned pale. She hurriedly rushed over and helped me up: "Girl, what's wrong with you, girl? Where did you fall?"

My knees and body were very painful, but I didn't care. I said pale and said, "It's okay, help me back."

"Oh, OK, OK!"

She half-held me and walked slowly into the house. I endured the pain on my body and looked back.

Shen Gongyi...Liu Zhaoyi...
