This time, Nangong Lizhu helped me sit back on her bed. Looking at my cold sweat, she frowned, groped for a while, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to me: "Here."

I lowered my head and didn't say anything, took the handkerchief and wiped my forehead.

Nangong Lizhu said: "What did you think of? Is there something wrong?"

“…”

"Yan Qingying, you are talking."

“…”

I looked up at her. If there were other people around me now, maybe I would say it out and discuss it together, but - she, I had no intention of belittling her. She is not a stupid and dull woman, but if you want to discuss this matter with someone, she is definitely not a good partner.

So, I looked at her hesitantly.

She was obviously very dissatisfied with my scrutiny and frowned: "What expression do you have?!"

I turned my head away.

Nangong Lizhu said, "What did you think of? Explain it clearly to me. I didn't hide anything from you just now."

I hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter is more complicated, more serious and more complicated than anything."

She blinked her eyes and looked at me, sure I wasn't exaggerating, so she hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and faced me face to face, then lowered her voice and said, "What the hell is going on? Tell me, I'll listen!"

I bit my lower lip and finally said, "If I'm not wrong, on the seventh day of November, there should be several forces in these places at the same time."

Nangong Lizhu suddenly widened her eyes: "You mean-"

I said in a deep voice: "If Jinling is added, almost half of the Central Plains will be trapped in war. And these places," I spread my palms and showed her little by little. The last point was pointed at the location of the capital, and said: "If cavalry at the same time, it will form an encirclement of the capital. By that time, the capital will become an isolated island."

Nangong Lizhu obviously had never experienced such a thing. When I told her, her face turned pale because of scaring.

She stared at my palm for a long time, then raised her head and said with obvious fear: "What should I do? Is Yuan Hao - the emperor, will he not resist? He is the emperor, he has so many soldiers and so many generals under his command!"

Speaking of this, my brows also frowned.

Pei Yuanhao is indeed the emperor, but it is not easy for a person to manage such a big country. Destruction is easier than construction and management. Moreover, I had worried before that Pei Yuanhao was too focused on culture and military affairs in the early days of ascension to the throne, so that there were some misfortunes among military generals. Now, what I worry about has come true.

Of course, after that, he seemed to have noticed this and promoted some people. In addition to Tu Shuhan and Wen Fengxi, there should be some generals I don’t know who were cultivated and used by him.

Even so, the imperial court's troops are not weak, but there is still a problem.

That is, Pei Yuanxiu asked so many people arranged by Nangong Jinhong to raise an army at the same time, which definitely seems dangerous and is difficult to implement, but once it is applied, it will be very useful. Officials from all over the country may not be as conscientious as Gao Tianzhang, nor will they all have the foresight of Liu Qinghan. At the same time, the powerful and powerful gentry in so many places raised their troops at the same time, which was enough to make the court difficult to deal with.

I reluctantly explained this to her, but after all, the issue of the government is not what I am good at, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words, and Nangong Lizhu was even more confused.

But she finally understood one thing-

The capital and the emperor are in big trouble.

Realizing this, she hurriedly reached out and grabbed my arm: "Then, what should we do? How can we help him?"

“…”

I looked at her speechlessly.

Help him?

Her and I are somewhat difficult to protect ourselves now, but she still wants to help him?

I sighed and didn't say anything. Nangong Lizhu looked at me more eagerly: "Can you think of any solution?"

I was silent for a moment and said, "If I were still in Xichuan - the people left by Qinghan, there were some strategies that I could try, but now in Jinling, the effect I could play is minimal."

She looked at me: "Is there no way?"

I shook my head.

Not to mention how big a thing the two of us women can do in Jinling, just saying that this news is really going to spread, and it will not be able to reach the capital in less than half a month, and there is no way to go to so many places to remind military and political officials from all over the country to be wary of.

This problem is almost unsolvable.

After so many years in the palace, Nangong Lizhu knew a lot that the relationship between me and Pei Yuanhao was not like theirs, but instead they were dealing with some problems together. But now I was helpless about this problem, so she had no choice but to sit there, and she was talking unconsciously.

I saw her like this and couldn't say anything for a while, but I realized that I had been here for a long time. If I stayed there, Han Ruoshi and the others knew that they were afraid they would come over.

So I took her hand off her arm and said, "I'm leaving."

She looked at me, and seemed to have no idea what to say for a moment.

I stood up, thought for a while, then stopped and looked back at her, and said, "Nangong Lizhu, although I told you about this, I didn't want you to think randomly, nor did I want you to act rashly. I need your cover. If someone knows about my relationship with you, we will not only be unable to do anything, but may even lose this little freedom at the moment. By then, there will be no way out. Do you understand?"

“…”

"Answer me, do you understand?"

I was a little stern, and she, in fact, nodded obediently at me: "I understand."

I nodded then and turned around and walked out.

I just walked to the bead curtain in the middle of the house and looked at the beads scattered all over the ground. I remembered something again, looked back at her, and gave a gentle wink.

I covered my forehead with one hand and was protected by the two girls and returned to the inner courtyard. Along the way, although I tried my best to avoid people, I was still seen by some people.

I know that this matter will soon reach the Han sisters.

I think this is probably what Han Ruoshi wants to get when she arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard early in the morning and left that sentence. My embarrassing look was probably a lot to relieve her originally depressed mood, and she could even be happy for a while.

When I sat on the head of the bed and was about to lie down and rest, I heard a sound of talking outside.

It was Pei Yuanxiu, who seemed to be questioning the two girls.

They said a few words, but I didn't hear clearly what it was. Then I heard footsteps coming to the door, and the door was pushed open.

He quickly walked in and walked to the bedside.

The medicine was already applied to my forehead, but I subconsciously reached out to cover it. When he saw me like this, he immediately sat on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but grab my wrist and pull it.

"don't want--!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand was pulled away by him, and the wound on his forehead was also seen by him.

It was smashed out, without any skin breaking, but just rubbed across a corner of the forehead, and it was a little red and swollen, and I didn't feel anything after taking the medicine.

But when he saw it, his brows frowned.

He said, "What did she do?"

I lowered my head and didn't say anything.

He gritted his teeth, his eyebrows were already twisted into a lump. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "You shouldn't have gone there."

“…”

"You two were not in harmony, and now she is in that situation again. Why do you want to go over and provoke her?"

“…”

"Didn't you hurt yourself?"

I looked up at him, saw the concern and anger in his eyes, and immediately looked away and said, "Anyway, I haven't let her get better."

He said, "But you are still injured."

"I have suffered fewer injuries?"

As soon as he said this, he felt his breathing stagnate for a moment.

When he looked up, his face became a little stiff. He was silent for a while before saying, "But I don't want to see you hurt again."

“…”

This sentence... He said too lowly, not even as if it was said from his mouth, but was dull, as if it was heard in his chest. I was shocked by his words, and I felt ache in my chest. I just looked at him and immediately turned my head and said lightly: "I think you'd better not be so pitiful to me."

“…”

"You know, I asked my man to let Lao Yao go."

“…”

"I can do this, maybe I can do more."

“…”

"My subordinates have many talented people."

Hearing me say this, his eyebrows frowned. After a moment of silence, he said, "There are indeed many talented people and strangers under you, but they are not yet able to come and go freely and act recklessly in my Jinling Mansion."

I raised my eyebrows and looked up at him: "What do you mean?"

He looked into my eyes: "Old Yao, how did you get rescued?"

“…”

"Really, is it just your guy who does it?"

“…”

"No one helps you?"

My heart sank slightly.

Sure enough, he is not that easy to fool. Even if Xiao Yusheng takes action, he still leaves some clues that make him suspicious.

If he suspects—

My heart twitched slightly, but there was no strange expression on my face. I just looked at him, and there was a faint smile on the corner of my mouth: "What do you think?"

“…”

He didn't say anything, and the folds between his eyebrows became deeper.

His eyes looked at me, and after a while, he slowly moved towards the wound on my forehead.
