Is it my illusion?

Just when I was a little confused, a guard below hurriedly ran up and said to Pei Yuanhao panting: "Your Majesty, news came from the city gate. Suddenly, all the people appeared outside the city and came towards this side."

"oh?"

Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows and showed a look of surprise on his face: "Whose soldier is it?"

"This is because it is too far away and has not yet been explored."

“…”

"But it looks like it's coming from the southwest."

“…”

"This team has a large number of people, and they are heading towards Linfen."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, but turned his head and looked at me. Both of them seemed to have thought of something, but no one spoke first for a while. Zhesheng, who was beside him, seemed to remember something and suddenly said to me: "Sister Yan, are the people coming from the southwest, reinforcements coming from Shaanxi?"

He said this as if he was reminding everyone.

By the way, reinforcements from Shaanxi.

Before, Xiao Yusheng brought a team of men to Shaanxi to pass the emperor's handwriting and sent reinforcements from Shaanxi. We stayed in Linfen City, and were waiting for reinforcements there.

As soon as they arrive, the siege of Linfen City can be lifted!

As soon as he heard what Zhesheng said, everyone around him was excited.

Although everyone saw this night of fierce battle, the enemy moved out the strange catapult cart and attacked violently at the city tower. The rumbling sound and the flames that almost soared into the sky on the city tower all indicate that Linfen City is in danger. Even Zhang Ziyu asked Yu Sheng to come over to protect Pei Yuanhao from evacuation, which shows how difficult this battle was.

Everyone's hearts were hanging in their throats that night.

And now, a sudden group of people appeared, perhaps reinforcements from Shaanxi. Everyone felt relieved. Not only did they let go, but they even became cheerful. Not only did the servants and guards show joy on their faces, and even Eunuch Yu, who had been silent, breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone sighed: "Okay, okay, reinforcements are here!"

"Yes, they must be here."

"As soon as they come, the enemy troops outside the city will naturally be able to break!"

Looking at them all excitedly, I didn't say anything, but turned to look at Pei Yuanhao. He slowly walked to the window and looked at the white white spots in the sky. The broken outline of the city tower also appeared in sight. There were still flames in some places that were not extinguished, accompanied by the strong black smoke.

I walked to him and said softly: "Your Majesty, if reinforcements from Shaanxi really come here, then-"

"no."

“…!”

I was stunned for a moment, and didn't react to the meaning of these two words. I turned to look at his firm gaze and thin lips that were pursed into a line, and said in surprise: "What?"

"no."

He repeated it again and said in a deep voice: "It's not a reinforcement from Shaanxi."

This time his voice was louder than before, and Eunuch Yu heard it immediately, showing a look of astonishment.

The guards and servants around him all quieted when they heard his words, and everyone seemed to be unable to believe their ears. After all, the reinforcements in Shaanxi meant the possibility of life for everyone here. Seeing the dawn of hope was ahead, Pei Yuanhao suddenly wanted to deny all this, which also denied everyone's possibility of "life".

No one wants to accept it.

No one can face such a reality.

My brows frowned: "Why?"

He looked into the distance in silence and said, "Didn't you count on your life?"

“…”

I suddenly froze there.

Before, Xiao Yusheng took his men to Shaanxi to dispatch troops. The journey from Linfen to Xi'an Prefecture was long, and the situation in Tongguan in the middle was also very unclear. According to the time they left, today—

It is absolutely impossible for reinforcements to arrive today!

When Zhesheng and the others heard Pei Yuanhao's words, they were all stunned. Everyone looked at each other and could not believe that the person coming was not reinforcements from Shaanxi. The atmosphere even became a little stiff. Listening to the sound of the cold wind coming from outside, someone couldn't help but whisper: "But at this time, who else will come from there?"

“…”

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a moment and said, "At least, it's not the soldiers I want to dispatch."

“…!”

After hearing what he said, my heart suddenly pounded. It was not his troops dispatched, but they came from Shaanxi!

The words Qinghan said to me when he was leaving suddenly sounded in my ears-

In Linfen, wait for me!

He seemed to have known from the beginning that Pei Yuanhao must come to Linfen, and would even stay in Linfen when the situation was the most chaotic and dangerous, so before leaving, he left me this sentence!

It's him!

It must be him!

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a rush of blood flowing, and my cheeks flushed red for a moment. Pei Yuanhao frowned and looked at me, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and his eyes became colder.

I looked up at him, my voice trembling slightly: "It's Qinghan!"

“…”

Pei Yuanhao didn't react at all, and Zhesheng and the others on the side immediately opened their eyes widened at me in surprise.

I repeated: "It must be him!"

“…”

"Qinghan said before leaving that he would come back, and he would definitely come back to Linfen to find me!"

Since there were all the people coming from Shaanxi, but they were not the reinforcements Xiao Yusheng and the others dispatched in the past, there was only one answer, this team belonged to him!

Pei Yuanhao's face became even heavier.

At this moment, I heard a faint voice sounding next to me—

"mother……"

When I turned around, I saw that it was Chang Qing and Miaoyan standing at the entrance of the stairs. I don’t know when they came. Chang Qing held Miaoyan’s hand in one hand, while my daughter looked at me with a dull expression, and her eyes were gone.

I was stunned for a moment: "Miaoyan?"

“…”

"You, why are you—the Queen?"

“…”

Chang Qing paused for a moment. It was obvious that she had heard what I had just said. When she saw Pei Yuanhao's face again, she hurriedly walked over with Miaoyan to salute Pei Yuanhao and said, "Just Mr. Zhang just sent someone to the official office and said that he was going to evacuate. I don't know how to deal with it. I heard that the emperor and Qingying were here, so I simply brought Miaoyan to come together."

As she said that, she glanced at me, then looked at Zhesheng who seemed a little excited next to her: "You are just talking about it-"

Zhesheng said happily: "Empress, reinforcements have arrived!"

Chang Qing said: "Oh? Where are the reinforcements?"
