"Do you think the rebels are not your father?"

Hearing this sentence, Nangong Lizhu seemed to be punched hard in the chest, and her whole body froze. However, she did not refute me immediately, but gasped for a long time, grabbed the corner of her clothes with her other hand, and said in a deep voice: "No!"

“…”

"It won't be his!"

“…”

"The rebels are all those traitors. If it weren't him, he wouldn't do this!"

I looked at her calmly: "Why do you think he won't do this?"

Nangong Lizhu turned her head to look at me. I could see tears in her eyes, almost falling down, but she insisted on not crying, but her voice had already become crying: "I'm still in the palace!"

“…”

"If you commit a rebellion, you will be killed by the whole family, but I am still in the palace."

“…”

"Will he ignore my life if he does this?"

“…”

"I don't believe it, I don't believe that my father will do this! He can't even ignore his daughter's life. The person who commits the rebellion will definitely not be his!"

When she said the last sentence, tears had already fallen.

Seeing her like this, her words were full of bitterness, and I opened my mouth but couldn't say it.

Actually, I want to tell her that you were wrong.

Nangong Jinhong did not completely ignore her life and death, but because she was considering her life and death, until now, when the army was under the "city", the Jixian Palace was completely surrounded by them, but he had not seen the true body of the Minister of War appear.

He is to protect Nangong Lizhu.

Before, I have been wondering why these people did not slogans of serving the king and protecting the emperor when they entered Xuanwu Gate, but when they surrounded Jixian Hall and could catch us all, they did not immediately take military action, but slapped the banner of serving the king and protecting the emperor when they were already surrounded.

My suspicion is that there were differences of opinions within them. The biggest difference was how to deal with me and Nangong Lizhu.

Some people must be killed and some people must be protected.

Moreover, just now, Mr. Lin’s words revealed a very important message. Their method of dealing with me and Nangong Lizhu is not the same as those of the previous dynasties who treated "the evil spirits of the country" and not killing, but expelling!

In other words, they have decided not to kill us!

I slowly walked to Nangong Lizhu, squatted down and looked her eyes, and those bright eyes of autumn water were now soaked in tears, making me look more and more pitiful. I sighed lightly and said, "Actually, you must have realized something long ago, you have feelings."

“…”

"Otherwise, you won't come out to help me when Fang Zhijun and the others are embarrassed by me, nor will you stay in Yihua Palace and accompany him."

“…”

"You said you would die with him even if you die. You really have such a premonition, right?"

“…”

"You know, we might die today."

At this moment, she didn't even dare to look at me, only tears kept falling out of her eyes.

I know, she's defaulting.

I sighed.

Then, I said softly: "Many of your premonitions are right, but there is one thing that you got it wrong."

She opened her eyes wide and looked at me, but looking at the tears in her eyes, I also knew that I must be distorted in her sight at this moment. Just like the chaotic situation at this moment, her mood was obviously a little confused, and she asked, "What's wrong?"

"We won't die today."

“…”

"Your father is protecting you and me."

She looked at me in amazement, and seemed to be disbelief, shook her head: "No. If it was really him who was making trouble, how could that be possible?"

I knew she was completely in chaos, so I sighed and said calmly: "I don't know what his purpose is, but it's not what those people say, "responsible for the king and protect the emperor." One thing you are right. If it's really him who is in trouble and you are still in the palace, no matter what, you will definitely die."

She shrank obviously.

I continued, "So, he has never shown up. The one who attacked Xuanwu Gate was the son of the Marquis of Jin, as well as Yuan Mingde and others."

She hurriedly said, "Then how can you say that he is one of those people."

I said, "Because after they entered the palace, they went to Yihua Palace."

Nangong Lizhu was stunned.

I said, "I just asked a few little palace maids who ran out of the inner palace. She told me that the Yihua Palace has been occupied. It is not something that Yuan Mingde, Gongsun Qi and others can do."

This is also the focus of our debate when we were in Yihua Palace.

Nangong Lizhu was trembling and tears fell, like a child who woke up from a nightmare. She suddenly looked up at me and said, "Even if someone guided them to Yihua Palace, it might not be my father!"

I said calmly: "But other people won't care about your life or death."

She looked at me with wide eyes.

I said, "The conditions they just negotiated with me are to ask me and you, but they are not going to kill us, but to expel us. Don't you understand the meaning of this?"

She seemed to have forgotten to shake her head and looked at me in shock.

I sighed and said, "As soon as they attacked the palace, they had already received guidance from someone. Originally, they could directly occupy Yihua Palace, find the emperor, and capture us. However, Sun Jingfei appeared with the Imperial Guards and took us away. Now we are guarding Jixian Hall, and they are surrounding them outside. Jixian Hall is not a place to defend. To attack, just one fire is enough, and we all have to burn it here."

“…”

"But they didn't. Not only did they not, they were willing to negotiate with us."

“…”

"Their negotiations were not the emperor's decree, nor did they even involve any other officials, they just wanted us to both."

“…”

"Do you understand this way?"

I squatted in front of her and said word by word: "The reason why they did not attack in was because they were afraid of accidentally hurting the person they wanted to protect, so they were slow to move. And when negotiating with me, we wanted us to live. As long as we left Jixian Hall, the people in this place would not be worried about it anymore."

At this moment, Nangong Lizhu seemed to be pierced by millions of needles in her heart, and she was in pain, but she could not call for help. I could only see her hand holding Pei Yuanhao's hand tighter. Because she tried too hard, her finger bones made a princess sound.

I looked into her eyes and said, "Now, tell me one thing."

She looked at me.
