That night, I did not leave.

Lying on his bed, I felt his hands holding my hands tightly. No matter how cold the coldness in my heart penetrated into my limbs and five bodies, when I touched the temperature from his palm, it disappeared without a trace, and even the coldness in my heart was slowly dispelled.

In a daze, I heard him murmuring in his ear and say, "If only I protect you well, that's great."

Even if you are not aware of it, you can feel the deep annoyance and helplessness in this sentence.

I struggled to open my eyes and say something, but then a wet and warm kiss fell on my eyebrows, and his breath blew on my face with the swelling heat, making me feel intoxicated.

I relaxed again and slowly sank into the warmth and darkness he gave me.

I slept very heavily that night, with almost no dreams. Even if there were dreams, there seemed to be only his steady and long breathing sounds left in the dream, and he wrapped my familiar body temperature, which made my dream become more and more peaceful and stable.

When I woke up, I don’t know what time it was.

After opening my eyes, I only looked at the bright skylight coming through the window, illuminating the spacious room. I blinked my eyes, and before I could fully recover my perception, I saw a flash of black shadows in front of me.

Qinghan was already dressed neatly and stood beside the bed and bent down to look at me.

"You're awake?"

I blinked and looked at him for a while, as if I was identifying who this person was. He seemed to understand the ignorance and confusion in my eyes. He had a smile on his lips. He reached out to sort out the messy hair on my forehead and said softly: "Do you still want to sleep for a while?"

“…”

"If you're still sleepy, just sleep for a while. I just asked them to prepare breakfast and it will be delivered later."

“…”

"Do you still have to sleep?"

He was already very awake when he spoke, but I really felt a deep and sleepy feeling. It was rare to have such a complete relaxation for so long. When I put down the burden on my shoulders and heart, I curled up in the quilt and said, "Why did you get up?"

He smiled and said, "I've been used to it for so many years."

“…”

"Don't worry about me, if you want to sleep, you'll sleep for a while."

He was sleeping inside and outside last night, but I didn’t know when he got up and when he got out of bed. I really slept too heavily.

His hands were still placing the messy hair on my forehead. The hair brushed through my eyelashes and brought a slight feeling. I reached out and grabbed his wrist without much trouble. He was about to retract, but found that I grabbed him and refused to let him take it back.

He looked at me: "Hmm?"

"Lying with me for a while."

“…”

He couldn't help laughing, and then pushed me with his other hand: "Then you go to sleep a little."

I wrapped myself in the quilt and moved in with difficulty, clumsy as a wriggling bug. He smiled as he looked at me, then leaned against the bed, and I snuggled into his arms and pressed my face against his chest.

His clothes also have a faint smell after sunlight.

The two of them were so close, and there seemed to be nothing to say, but it would be good to lean quietly. I reached out and gently fiddled with the buttons on his chest. I found that the thread had dispersed a little, so I muttered softly: "When you change it, I will sew this button again for you. Look, it will all fall off."

He didn't care much: "It's gone, and there are clothes to be prepared."

"Nonsense, how can buttons be distracted?"

“…”

He didn't know that at this time I remembered the golden orchid button back then. I thought, if it weren't for that button, would the story between me and him be different from now?

Sometimes, the more inconspicuous people and things are, the more they manipulate people's destiny.

But I didn't continue and just said, "I looked at your cabinet and didn't have two clothes."

He said, "Some of them have not had time to clean up. They originally bought two items on the road to change them. This time they came too urgent."

"Chabixing said, you came immediately after you were waiting for your people in Tongguan."

"Um."

"Then, what are you going to arrange the group going north?"

"..." He thought about it and said slowly: "After solving the dangers of Linfen, I don't plan to take care of Shanxi anymore. The emperor should have his own plans. If he doesn't want the pressure to be too high in Tongguan in the future and does not want the side of Jinhou to fall so quickly, he should think of some solutions in Shanxi."

"Um."

I nodded gently.

That's right. What I'm afraid of is that he blindly considers the major issues here and throws all his troops in. It's one thing to help Pei Yuanhao stabilize the overall situation now, but the relationship between him and Pei Yuanhao cannot be ignored. After all, people have selfish intentions. I can't do anything stupid because of public or private affairs. I can't completely ignore our future.

He said: "When the group comes back, we can set off and leave."

"Return to Xichuan?"

"Um."

"What are you going to do next after you go back?"

“…”

He was silent for a while, as if thinking, and after a long time he said, "It depends on what the emperor plans to do."

“…”

"I thought before that after he arrived in Xichuan, he would at least meet your Yan family first, especially your younger brother. Your younger brother is not such a foolish person. No matter how the war is fought, the emperor will not be able to spend any money or food. If Xichuan is really exhausted, there will be no initiative in the future."

"Will you help Qingchen?"

"I will help both sides watch," he said, pausing again, saying, "But I think there may be something more in the emperor's plan next."

"oh?"

My spirit slighted, and I looked up at him: "What is it?"

He also looked down at me and said, "You forgot, what did he do when he sent troops yesterday."

Catstone car.

That is, the kind of weapon that is very close to the Flanger cannon.

Before, several groups of people were salivating at the Florian artillery, and even spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to go out to sea to find it. In the end, it was a waste of time. Yan Qinghan died overseas. This is a most bitter irony, but ambitious people may not see through the arrangement of fate, and they will continue to move forward towards what they are pursuing.

Pei Yuanxiu made someone imitate this catapult, and now he has been obtained by Pei Yuanhao.

He can think of whatever he uses this thing to do with his knees.

I said, "Do you think he might put some energy into this thing next?"

"Not I think, for sure."

“…”

"I just don't know, how he will handle this."

“…”

"And Pei Yuanxiu may not know what his purpose was."

"Then what do you think Pei Yuanxiu will do next?"

"I am waiting for news from the capital now. I am not him, and I can't predict what he will do next, but I think his attitude is already very obvious in Linfen's battle. He cannot let an 'emperor' who leaves Beijing stay in the world for a long time. Wherever Pei Yuanhao goes, he will definitely fight."

“…”

"besides--"

When he said this, he seemed to remember something suddenly and closed his mouth.

My heart seemed to be thorned to death. The fingertips that were fiddling with him trembled slightly, and subconsciously wanted to retract, but the one that moved faster than mine was his hand, which reached over and held my hand.

I knew that I should listen to him and forget everything I should forget, but my body seemed to remember that memory of fear, and fear was often unforgettable.

And leaning in his arms, all the trembling was visible.

He felt it clearly, but he didn't say anything, just hugged me tightly, and then said in a deep voice: "It's okay, you don't have to be afraid now. Take your time, slowly, you will forget."

“…”

A low and hoarse whimper came from my throat, and finally nodded gently.

Next, he stopped talking, as if he was afraid of saying something to shock me, but his cautiousness made me feel even more guilty. Although he could talk about everything between me and him, in order to avoid stabbing me, he made him so cautious, I sucked my nose and took the initiative to raise the topic, saying, "Qinghan, I remembered one more thing."

He said softly, "What?"

"That Xie Feng."

“…!”

He looked down at me and said, "This person is not simple. Although he is a person around Pei Yuanxiu, I can feel that he seems to have other purposes on him, and even Pei Yuanxiu himself may not know it completely."

"Oh? You said before that he was a descendant of the Imperial Heaven Supervision Superintendent of the previous dynasty."

"Um."

"According to your previous statement, he has been growing up in Dongchaga Minister since he was a child and has not been to the Central Plains for decades. Now he suddenly appears. The person you are looking for should be related to the previous dynasty. If it is not a descendant of the Eight Pillar Kingdom, then it is you."

"But I have been with him for quite some time. Although he told me about the Eight Pillars Kingdom, he didn't seem to have to say more to me if he said anything else."
