Seeing his back disappearing in the corridor soon, my mood became heavier.

I could clearly feel that he had something to say to me just now, maybe it was the ones I wanted to know, but when he saw Pei Yuanhao also in my room, he didn't say anything again; but even so, he didn't leave immediately until Pei Yuanhao brought out his witty words.

Although this incident has passed, for me and him, it is a scar that cannot be easily touched.

It's more like an invisible hand that can easily push him away from us.

I slowly turned around. Pei Yuanhao had already sat back at the table, put one hand on the table, and slowly rubbed the warm jade in the palm of his palm.

For some reason, I felt that the warm luster emitted by the jade became a little dazzling.

I took a deep breath and walked up to him: "Does Your Majesty really have something wonderful to say to me?"

Although he had a smile on his face, there was still no smile in his eyes and said lightly: "You don't have any jokes."

“…”

I frowned slightly.

After a moment of silence, I walked to the other side of the table and sat down, and looked at him: "What's the matter?"

The last smile on his face slowly calmed down, and then said, "We are going to set off tomorrow. I hope you will always keep your words and don't let her leave you whenever you want."

“…”

I was slightly stunned.

I think, isn't this just right?

These days, I have always been with Miaoyan. If I get on the road, he and the queen will definitely be on the same car, and I naturally have to carry Miaoyan. Why do he need to explain this kind of thing specifically?

Looking at my puzzled face, he curled the corners of his lips and said, "I asked you to take her with you to protect her."

“…”

This is obviously a nonsense.

But my brows frowned, and when I looked at him, my eyes became deeper.

If he hadn't intentionally ran to me, if he hadn't intentionally told Qinghan that he wanted to talk about a wonderful word, then this "nonsense" would obviously have a deep meaning.

I thought about it and said, "I will naturally be concerned about the matter of Miaoyan. Your Majesty does not need to come here to remind you. If your Majesty is worried about other issues - there is no third person here, what Your Majesty wants to say, you might as well say it."

"Yeah?"

His eyebrows were raised slightly, and he was still looking outside the door, on the road where the figure had disappeared.

I said, "Is it related to him?"

Pei Yuanhao seemed to have some surprise and looked at me, with a little frivolous look in his eyes: "It's rare, you will still think of him."

His tone reminded me of the words that Gongsun Shu of the Marquis of Jin before.

I said, "I'm still saying the same thing. Your Majesty has something to say, so you might as well say it."

He was probably used to talking to people in his own way and rhythm, but at this time I was no longer in the mood to slowly circle him. His face slightly darkened, but he did not immediately feel angry. He just suppressed his anger and said, "We will set off tomorrow, and it will take ten days to reach Tongguan at the fastest, but I think you should already know that the situation in Tongguan is not clear."

After hearing what he said, I came to my senses.

When I was in Shaanxi, I guessed that after Lin Sheng took action in Shanxi, he would not fight to the capital, but would turn around and attack Shaanxi, and cut off possible contact between the capital and Xichuan. So I immediately went to Xi'an Prefecture to notify Gao Tianzhang, but missed the best opportunity and Tongguan was lost.

But later, I vaguely heard that the general Cao Ji, the governor of Tongguan, led the remnants of his troops to retake Tongguan.

Over the past period of time, the troops from both sides have fought fiercely there many times, and Tongguan has not been completely stabilized. Therefore, Liu Qinghan sent a group of people to meet him for a while, and part of the reason is that there is no way to enter Shanxi through Tongguan in large numbers.

I thought about it and said, "Gao Tianzhang is still standing in Xi'an Prefecture, right?"

He nodded.

I said, "Mr. Gao is very wise and will never be a person who escapes at the last minute. As long as Your Majesty enters Shaanxi, he will definitely protect Your Majesty's safety."

He said, "I never worry about him."

"That--"

He glanced at me and said slowly: "Sichuan and Shaanxi are connected."

“…!”

My face changed suddenly.

Although he still didn't explain it clearly, I already knew it very well.

He and Qinghan obviously had a rift because of when they set out to leave Shanxi. What the words that the Duke of Jin, Gongsun Shu, said to me today may not be the concern of the emperor. There is a minister who is not his, and he may not be in the same mind as him, but he has heavy troops in his hand. He is indeed absolutely unacceptable to an emperor.

So, he left early.

However, the letter from Liu Qinghan's dispatch of troops had already been sent out. Even if his soldiers could not arrive here at this time, it would be a matter of time before the emperor could meet both sides when he walked towards Shaanxi.

What's more, he will enter Xichuan next.

If there were some storm before, then now he asked me to take good care of Miaoyan, and he had already put his suspicion of Qinghan on the table.

I also understand why he said that he came to me to discuss Miaoyan's affairs.

He is using wonderful words to remind me.

I lowered my head and thought for a while, then smiled faintly, looked up at him: "Since your Majesty doubted him - why do you still come to tell me this?"

He looked at me and suddenly said, "Do you remember that I told you that in this life, you are the one I believe most."

“…”

"I handed over Miaoyan to you, not only because you are Miaoyan's mother."

“…”

My mood sank slightly.

This is what he said to me after I confessed everything to him in the palace.

Both of them, I have grown up in the most complex environment since childhood. A small mistake may make us regret it for life. If we can reach this point, we will still live well, because we are extremely cautious in every choice.

He and I have been suspicious of each other for half of our lives, and when he said this to me, I actually did not refute it because I could understand that kind of mood.

I was silent for a long time, lowered my head and said slowly, "Thank you for your trust."

“…”

"I remember everything about Your Majesty, and I have no choice but to do what Miaoyan is."

“…”

"But there is one thing that I still want to tell the Emperor--" I looked up at him and said, "The Emperor should doubt anyone, but I believe him."

His eyes flashed slightly: "Is that true?"

"yes."

"Just like when you refused a horse?"

His words also sarcastically stinged in my heart.

When I was refusing to horses, I did not believe Liu Qinghan, nor did I choose to stand beside him.

I said in a deep voice: "I remember this more clearly than His Majesty, so now, I choose to believe him."

He smiled faintly, with more ridiculous expressions in his eyes, and said, "It seems that we are not young anymore. This is how we are old. Remember the past clearly, but we have forgotten everything that has just happened in front of us."

My face suddenly froze.

This time, the thorn pierced a little deeper.

Of course I know what he is saying - the lies Liu Qinghan sent, which made me more than just lied to me.

As the emperor, he is the magnificent emperor, knowing that a person who thought he was held in his hands like an ant had deceived him for so long, and he saved his life from his emperor's sword and even gave him an important task to him. This kind of shame is unimaginable for an emperor.

I was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Of course I remember that."

“…”

“I will remember it better than anyone else.”

“…”

"But now, I still believe him."

Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, but just gently stroked the jade hand and slowly clenched it, as if he had pinched it into a fist, and as if he was tightly clenching the jade. He chuckled and said, "Yan Qingying, this time, I really hope you are right."

“…”

"but--"

My eyebrows frowned and turned to look at him, but he had already gotten up and walked out without looking back.

I sat at the table, and I never moved until Pei Yuanhao's back disappeared from sight.

Just now, Qinghan seemed to want to catch up and say something to me. Now Pei Yuanhao is gone, but I never thought about finding him again, so that he could say what he didn't have time to say just now, because I know that he won't say it anymore.

Actually, I didn’t have to say it, because I had made a choice.

At night, it should be said that it was early in the morning and we set off.

I thought before that "tomorrow" they said refers to the day after tomorrow. In the evening, we realized that it was impossible for us to leave the Marquis' Mansion in broad daylight, so we set off at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Under the darkness, only a few torches illuminated the road ahead of us.

When I was led out, the emperor and the empress had already gotten on their carriage. Miaoyan was in the second carriage. When I was about to get on, a series of footsteps sounded behind me.

Looking back, it was Qinghan that came out.

He walked out of the door and looked up at me.

The night was dark, and the fire was shining on his face, making it a little dark and unobstructed. He just nodded slightly at me as a sign, and then he got on the third carriage, which was the carriage we were riding when we came.

Immediately afterwards, his own people immediately followed and surrounded the carriage.
