Pei Yuanhao and I stood there motionless. The attention of both of us was probably on the bottle of blood in my hand. The atmosphere was as dull as if the dark clouds were pressing against us.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps ran over.

It was the servant who had just received the order to find Huo Liancheng. He ran over and said, "Master Huo is gone."

The hand I held the bottle was wrong and almost dropped the bottle.

Pei Yuanhao reached out and stopped it. He held my hand tightly and asked me to squeeze the bottle tightly. Then he slowly let go of his hand and said to the man outside: "What does it mean to be missing?"

The man's voice fell: "We did not find Lord Huo in the military camp."

“…”

I couldn't help but frown.

Nangong Lizhu and Huo Liancheng are gone, are they together?

Just thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel amazed in my heart.

Is this the legendary elopement?

The two of them elope?

But then I thought about it, how could this be possible? Not to mention anything else, just talking about Nangong Lizhu's feelings for Pei Yuanhao, no matter how fickle she is, she would never be able to exchange her life for me in just one day, and now she has elopement with a strange official who has almost no contact.

Even though I know that Huo Liancheng once spoke up for her when he was in the Valley of the Guma River and almost died, I still don’t believe they would do this.

This is impossible.

But Pei Yuanhao's breath became obviously heavy, and he said, "Have you asked? When did he arrive at the military camp and when did he disappear?"

"Mr. Huo also set up a camp where he arrived at noon yesterday, but at night, he seemed to be missing."

"Then, where is Concubine Nangong?"

"Nangong Concubine..." The man hesitated for a moment, and another servant immediately said: "Nangong Concubine has never shown up. I heard that she has been locked in this tent and is not allowed to approach her, so few people see her."

I heard a faint biting of my teeth, and then said in a deep voice: "Go and look for it!"

These two words were almost as sharp as a blade. Even if I couldn't see them, I could feel the sense of oppression. The two servants outside didn't dare to say much. After responding, they immediately turned around and walked down.

But just as they took two steps, Pei Yuanhao suddenly said, "Come back."

The two men hurriedly walked back: "What will the emperor have?"

“…”

Instead of speaking immediately, he was silent, took a deep breath, and said, "Go down."

I was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, but unfortunately I couldn't see anything. The two servants outside were obviously at a loss, and subconsciously took a step back, but were a little blurred. One of them asked boldly: "Then, Master, do you still need to look for Concubine Nangong?"

He is very smart and does not mention "Mr. Huo".

Pei Yuanhao's voice was a little hoarse, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "No need."

“…”

"No need to mention this matter."

"yes."

As soon as they heard that there was no need to mention it, the two men breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned around and left.

The tent suddenly fell down again, blocking the cold wind outside, but also blocking the light outside. I couldn't see anything clearly, and I couldn't even feel the light at all. I could only hear Pei Yuanhao's footsteps, slowly walked into the inside, and then sat on the bed.

His breath was very heavy, as if pressing on a big stone, but it seemed particularly long, as if something had been thoroughly figured out in his heart.

I held the bottle in my hand tighter again, then slowly groped and walked over, and stopped at a distance of some distance from him.

The cold wind was howling outside and horse hooves were waving, and even the grassland was trembling.

But in the tent, it was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling to the ground.

I listened to his breathing, and it was rapid and calm again. It seemed as if his heartbeat was beating at this moment. After a long time, I whispered: "Your Majesty, are you really not looking for it?"

His voice seemed very stuffy, as if something was pressing down on his throat: "I won't look for it."

"Why?"

“…”

"Even if she really left yesterday, she couldn't go far in such a snowy field. As long as she sent additional personnel and patrol the traces, she would definitely find it."

"No more searches."

"Why?"

"So what if I find it back?"

"After all, she is still His Majesty's Concubine Nangong."

"But it's no longer Nangong Lizhu."

“…”

I was silent for a while, turned the bottle slightly in my palm, and then said, "No, she is still Nangong Lizhu from the past, from the heart to the feelings, it has always been."

“…”

"She hasn't changed."

Pei Yuanhao fell silent. I felt him looking at me. After watching for a while, he said hoarsely: "But I am no longer the same as I used to be."

“…”

"I face her and it is painful; she faces me, it is also painful."

“…”

"Instead of both of them being in pain, let her leave like this."

"..." I frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Where is Huo Liancheng?"

When he mentioned this person, his breath became a little messed up again.

I know that even if he can let Nangong Lizhu go, it doesn’t mean he can let her leave with a man so easily. Although this is not confirmed yet, just speculation is also a serious crime for him.

After all, men also have the dignity of men, let alone the emperor.

No emperor can allow his concubine to disappear, and there is an official who will disappear at the same time.

This was a great humiliation for him, so just now he was so angry that he let those people go down to look for him immediately.

But it was also in a moment that he extinguished such anger by himself.

Now, it seemed that a little charcoal red burned in his heart, but he was still very restrained, but his breathing became disordered. I heard him take a few deep breaths before saying, "I have known his thoughts for a long time. I also wanted to give him a warning, but I didn't expect-"

But I didn't expect that wherever love came.

Even a small official who is timid and inconspicuous in his daily life will do such amazing actions.

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a long time and said, "No matter whether they left together, Li Zhu left first, and he went to pursue her."

“…”

"I don't want to pursue it anymore."

“…”

"I don't want to see these two people again."
