"You, you really haven't thought about replacing him at all?"

I felt that he was slightly stunned, but did not move immediately, or something, I took another handful of water and poured it on his hair, rubbed it gently, and washed it while saying, "If you don't consider what you have to sacrifice to be an emperor, don't consider your face... Have you really never thought about it at all?"

“…”

"Actually, many people have thought about this possibility now, and even ordinary people have thought about it."

“…”

"I remember when the Taishi left Beijing, he once said that if you occupy the mountain and become a king, you may not be able to show your head. Now the world is in chaos. You have money and power, soldiers and food. You are very close to that person. What you want to do may be just a matter of raising your hand."

“…”

"Have you considered it?"

He quietly lowered his head and let me rub his hair gently. After listening to what I said, it took a long time to slowly say, "If you say you don't want to do it at all, then I'm really lying to you."

“…”

"Of course I thought about it."

My heart trembled slightly and I hurriedly said, "Then you--"

"But I would also like, how would you treat me to do this."

He interrupted me and slowly raised his head to look at me: "Can you accept it?"

“…”

I didn't know how to answer him for a while. It was obviously a very simple question, but I couldn't even answer yes or not.

He looked at me for a long time, then smiled softly.

"Qingqing, actually... from beginning to end, you never thought about letting someone else replace him as the emperor. Even if you married Pei Yuanxiu, even if I have become powerful and have the opportunity to win his position, I know that you have never thought about this possibility, right?"

“…”

"I remember that I was still in Jixiang Village at that time. You asked me how I view the Emperor, and I once answered you."

I murmured, "Bad person, good emperor."

He smiled and said, "You still remember."

I was a little stunned for a moment, and I didn't expect that I didn't seem to remember this sentence deliberately. This memory has always been very vague in my mind, but as soon as he said it, I suddenly remembered it.

Qinghan smiled gently and said, "At that time, I actually didn't understand anything. I just answered you based on some things I heard. Later, I came to him, became his minister, and did a lot of things with him. Over the past few years, so many things have happened, and my views on him are different at different times."

I asked, "What about now?"

He smiled and said, "Now, I realized that my opinion of him is still what I thought of him."

“…”

"He is a good emperor."

“…”

"I still believe that if we can survive the current disaster and return to his hands, there will be no more people who block him, and he will create a bright era of his own in the ruins."

He said, looking into my eyes gently: "I believe that you have always thought so, so no matter who he is or how he treats you, your attitude has never changed in this matter."

I couldn't speak, and my throat was slightly choked, especially under the gaze of his gentle eyes, the already stiff and cold blood in my body was rushing rapidly, making me feel a little weak. After a while, I pulled his hand: "Come here, your clothes are wet."

He looked down and realized that when he raised his head, the water flowed down the ends of his hair, and most of the wet collar and back.

I pressed his head with one hand, said nothing, and continued to gently rub his hair for him.

In the water, he seemed to be smiling.

I was silent for a long time before I said softly: "I thought I was afraid that after this incident, you will change."

He smiled and said, "It is easy to change the country and nature is hard to change."

"I think so."

“…”

He was silent for a while before realizing that my topic was back to him.

Next, neither of them spoke again. I washed his hair twice seriously, and finally cleaned up the mud and sand in his hair. Then he gently wiped his hair with a towel. He finally raised his head with relief.

I wiped his neck with a towel, and then said softly: "Qinghan, what would happen if you were really the son of the Tian family as I said at the time of death?"

He looked down at me and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you?"

“…”

"Why mention this nonsense?"

“…”

I looked at him, my throat was a little astringent. He tied his hair himself and turned to look at me: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

I said, "Qinghan, have you really never thought about your own life experience?"

“…”

He was stunned immediately.

I said, "You have never thought about it for so many years? In the past, you were in that small fishing village because you had to guard your mother and couldn't make her sad, so you never mentioned it. However, she has been away for so many years. Besides, now you are really rich and powerful, and there are many people who can give you instructions. As long as you give orders, you can find out a lot of things. Don't you want to find out your own life experience?"

The light in his eyes slowly dimmed.

At this moment, my heart became more and more entangled - although I have not yet figured out his life experience, should I tell him all the guesses and possibilities?

However, when I think of the anger of Pei Yuanhao when he knew what Pei Ji said when he was dying, I hesitated.

This matter is too complicated and involves too much. If you tell him, will it cause a bigger crack between him and Pei Yuanhao? If that is true, then the next meeting in Xi'an Prefecture will be destined to be a peaceful meeting.

Just when I was struggling, suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves coming from the hillside.

When Qinghan heard this sound, he immediately raised his head and saw a group of people rushing down from the fire. The leader rushed directly to us, and then he turned over and got off the horse and walked over: "Senior brother, eldest lady."

"Yusheng, you are back!"

Seeing Xiao Yusheng leading a team of people, some of whom were injured on their faces, but fortunately there was nothing serious. He smiled and leaned over to Qinghan and said, "Fortunately, I'm not humiliating my fate."

Qinghan smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
