I held the little tree and gasped for a while, then my breath calmed down slightly. I raised my back and was about to leave. At this time, I reached out and patted my shoulder.

I hurriedly turned around and saw Pei Yuanhao standing behind me.

"What’s wrong with you?"

“…?”

"Why, I'm scared you?"

I slowed down for a while before saying, "Oh, no."

He looked at me for a while, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to me: "The weather is so cold, and you are still sweating. Are you feeling uncomfortable? I heard that you have not had a good rest these days, your brother--"

"I know he's fine. Today, he has sent the documents."

"oh."

"But you, your brother fell ill, and you were half sick. He is such a big man. Do you still need you to take care of him in every detail? I heard that you have been guarding him all night."

I was silent for a moment and said, "He is my younger brother. I am the only one who is closest to the Yan family."

Pei Yuanhao looked at me and didn't say anything.

Both of them became quiet for a moment. After a while, a gust of wind blew over, and the little tree beside me shook and made a rustling sound. I then raised my head to look at him and looked at the direction he came: "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I heard that she is here. Come and have a look."

“…”

I thought about it and said, "She doesn't recognize anyone at all now and doesn't remember anything."

Pei Yuanhao said with a smile: "Do you think I have to kill all the people who are already stupid?"

I shook my head and he said, "I just want to come and see her."

“…”

"Since I was a child, she had been pressing on my heart like a mountain, blocking my eyes. Several times, my life was almost given to her."

I hesitated for a moment and whispered: "That's already something that happened in the past."

"Yes, it's all in the past. I just want to come and see what she looks like now?"

“…”

"After all, she is—"

Speaking of this, he couldn't continue to speak, and a gentle sigh dissipated in the wind.

I looked at him and understood in my heart that for him, Empress Yin was also a special person. This woman had been dominating in the harem and in the inner court for half her life, and even almost caused chaos in the world. Now, at this point, no matter who it was, she would sigh and see that the world was impermanent from her.

For me, although Empress Yin doesn’t seem to have much to do with me, many of the things she does have had a huge impact on my birth.

If it weren't for her, she would have exchanged Pei Yuanxiu for Nangong Lizhu, so she wouldn't have to marry Nangong Lizhu to Pei Yuanxiu in order to ensure that her daughter stayed by her side, so she wouldn't have broken up this pair of lovers, and then there wouldn't be that night - the night that changed my life.

And if she hadn't sent the child born to Zhao Shuyuan away to keep this secret...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Pei Yuanhao looked down at me, as if he wanted to see something from my smile. I calmed down and said, "I was driven out just now, Your Majesty should not go there."

"oh?"

He raised his eyebrows, looked over there, and then said softly, "Oh", as if he understood.

I said, "Let's go see her in two days."

"In two days, I may not have this free time."

Even though he said this, he did not insist on going in, but turned around with me and walked outside. When I heard this, I couldn't help but look up at him: "Your Majesty - are you leaving?"

"The matter has been completed. If I stay, your brother will not want to do so."

“…”

I didn't answer this, just thought for a while, and murmured: "I don't know how the situation in Xi'an Prefecture is now."

Pei Yuanhao said: "Tongguan is guarded."

"oh?"

I felt relieved when I heard him say this.

After all, the queen and the others were all in Tongguan, and the accompanying capital he had decided was also in Xi'an Prefecture. If Tongguan fell, the whole of Shaanxi would be unstable. By that time, the war would soon burn to Xichuan.

If Tongguan is guarded, Xichuan is still safe.

"Then, where is the capital?"

“No news has come yet.”

“…”

"But I think he can't have only this method. If the positive one is not good, he will definitely think of other ways."

“…”

That's of course.

Ever since, war is just the most obvious battle, just like seeing a lake as flat as a mirror. If you really think it is everything, you are wrong. The surging tide under the water is the hand that really pushes everything. If you only believe in the surface, you may not even know how to lose.

I vaguely felt that the great disaster in Xichuan that Qingchen had been talking about before, including the peace talks between him and Pei Yuanhao this time, was like this.

There are also some undercurrents that I didn't notice.

"Then, when will Your Majesty return to Xi'an Mansion?"

“…”

He didn't answer me, but just walked forward. I felt his face look a little strange. I followed him and looked at him for two steps. He turned to look at me: "You will know then."

“…?”

He is as mysterious as Qingchen.

Since he didn't say it, I didn't ask much. I only saw him laughing. Ye Yunshuang came over in front of me. Perhaps Ye Fei followed Alan and Princess Ling began to pester his father again. And the big thing was over, Pei Yuanhao also needed to relax. It would be best to accompany her innocent and lovely daughter.

I originally wanted to ask him tentatively where he had taken Xie Feng, but when he saw Ye Yunshuang and Princess Ling came, it was difficult to stop, so I turned around and left.

I kept guarding Qingchen for the next two days, and because I was with him, his condition got better. I often didn't need anyone to persuade me. I took the medicine and drank it obediently, and ate much more than usual.

After dinner that day, Aunt Hong sighed while asking people to clean up the dishes: "In recent years, the head of the family has always eaten alone at a table. How much can he eat if there is a good thing? In other words, the two days after the eldest lady came back, he ate more in a day than in the past three days. Only when people can eat food will they be in good health."

I looked back and took a look, Qingchen rinsed over and went to the other side to change his clothes.

I smiled and said, "You should also advise him more often."

"Who else can the head of the family listen to besides the eldest lady's words?"

“…”

"I'd love if the young lady could stay for a long time."

When I heard her say this, I didn't say anything, but just smiled faintly, and there was a bitterness in my smile.

I also don’t know what Aunt Hong means. My father left and my mother left, and even I am not in Chengdu all year round. Faced with such a prosperous scene, Qingchen is the loneliest person in the world. No one shares his happiness, no one shares his sorrow, and maybe, there is really not even someone to accompany him for dinner. How sad is that feeling? Aunt Hong of course hopes that I can come back to accompany him more.

But now is not the time for me to stay.

My daughter is still in Wuwei. Although I know she will not be in any danger, I still want to take her back when I am in someone else's place. How should I deal with the poison on Qinghan's body? Should I really send troops to attack Wuwei and capture Nangong Lizhu back and let blood?

There are so many things that I need to deal with. It is already the limit that I can take out these few days to accompany Qingchen.

Now, there is another important thing in front of you, which is to find Qinghan.

Before, Qingchen also sent someone to look for him, but he could not find his whereabouts in Chengdu City. Du Yan said that he went back to Bishan to dispatch troops. Now, what did he do with his men and horses? I can't discuss with people here, but I always felt like I was putting it on the fire and frying it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

When she heard my sigh, Aunt Hong understood. She glanced at me, said nothing, and sighed softly.

At this time, a servant came in outside and saluted me. He walked straight to Qingchen and whispered to him a few words. After Qingchen heard this, he nodded and asked the man to retreat.

I walked over and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

Qingchen said: "The emperor's men are already preparing to leave Chengdu tomorrow."

"Oh?" I remember asking Pei Yuanhao before. After hearing his tone, he didn't seem to plan to go to Xi'an Prefecture after leaving Chengdu.

I don't know where he is going.

Qingchen said lightly: "It's good that he's leaving."

It seems that as Pei Yuanhao said, after talking about the important matter, Qingchen has no favoritism for him at all.

I only smiled, and when I turned around, I saw that I had almost finished it, I was about to leave. At this moment, another servant ran in outside, holding a letter in his hand. As soon as I saw me, I immediately leaned over and saluted: "Miss."

I nodded, and he hurriedly walked in and presented the letter to Qingchen.

Where did the news come from?

I was about to leave, but at this time I couldn't help but stop and wanted to see where the news was and whose news was. Who knew that when I turned around, I saw Qingchen open the envelope and take out the letter paper inside to open it. His eyebrows immediately frowned, and his face was full of solemn expression.
