I was silent for a moment, slowly broke my shoulders out of his hand, and then said, "Is it painful to look at me with your Majesty's eyes?"

“…”

He looked at me silently, and after a long time, he said, "I know that it is not necessary to make a big sad voice to be painful, but I didn't expect that you have never come out."

“…”

"But you don't want to say a word to me."

I lowered my head and finally said slowly, "What's there to say?"

He took a deep breath, then slowly walked around me and bent down. In the darkness, I could feel his eyes looking straight at me, with a burning look like a flame with a warmth.

He said, "I know that your mother and brother have left, and many people have left you, your eyes are broken, and your hair is like this, you mind."

“…”

"But what I want to tell you is that you are not as unbearable as you think."

“…”

"You are still very good after all this. After experiencing all this, your next life will be very peaceful and you will be very happy if you want."

“…”

“You can have a good future.”

I looked at him quietly, and after a while, I said softly: "What does the 'good future' mean by Your Majesty?"

He was silent for a moment before saying, "Actually, I have never asked you before. You saw Li Zhu in the camp of the Iron Cavalry King. What did she say to you?"

My breathing trembled slightly.

He said, "I didn't ask you, but I asked a wonderful statement."

"What did she say?"

"She said, after you went to see Li Zhu, it was very painful, as if she forced you to do something. After that, she left calmly."

“…”

"What did she force you to do?"

“…”

"What the hell did you say?"

My blind eyes looked at him in a daze, and a faint, almost ethereal smile appeared on my face: "Your Majesty seems to know it."

"I'm asking you."

"Since your Majesty already knows it, why bother asking me?"

"I want to hear you say it in person."

“…”

A bone-broken coldness came from somewhere unknown and soaked into my heart. I suddenly felt the illusion that all the blood in my body was condensed into ice. I lowered my eyelashes and covered my dark eyes, and said slowly.

"Yes, I promised her. I swear in front of her to return to His Majesty."

“…”

"Only in that way, she will leave her blood to save Qinghan."

Pei Yuanhao's breathing was not a little messy, and it seemed that he had really guessed this fact. He just kept looking at my eyes tightly, unwilling to relax at all: "Now, Liu Qinghan has been poisoned, where is your oath?"

I said, "Does Your Majesty want me to fulfill my oath?"

He said, "You should know that I always hope you will come back."

“…”

"I hope you can come back."

“…”

I lowered my head and looked at him. Although I could see nothing in the darkness, I still looked at him quietly for a long time, and then said lightly: "What do you want me to come back to do?"

His hand slowly slid down from my arm and onto my hands. The hands of both of them were actually cold, as if two pieces of ice touched together, and the temperature had penetrated into my heart. I had no feeling, but he was trembling with the temperature at my fingertips.

But the next moment, he held my hand.

Even the one who was injured was already wrapped in thick bandages, and the doctor told him not to use force, and he also held my hand tightly.

He said, "You come back, I will treat you well."

“…”

"I will compensate you for all the grievances you have suffered and all the hardships you have suffered in the past."

“…”

I looked at him quietly.

Although it was pitch black in my sight, I could also feel the light in his sight, constantly flashing, as anxious as if his breathing and heartbeat at this moment.

But I seemed to be completely frozen, without any fluctuations.

I thought for a while and said softly: "What do you want me to come back to do?"

“…”

"My eyes are already blind. In the past, I was struggling in His Majesty's harem. Even if there is no Concubine Nangong or Concubine Shen in the future, there will always be younger, smarter and more capable girls who will continue to enter His Majesty's harem, and their eyes can be seen."

“…”

"Your Majesty, I am old, blind, and tired. No matter how powerful I have, I can't use it."

“…”

"I'm afraid I can't pass half a year."

"I will protect you."

I smiled.

He himself seemed to hear the indifferentness in my smile. After a while of silence, he said, "I will protect you."

“…”

"I couldn't do it in the past, and I couldn't believe you, but I won't do it in the future."

“…”

"Light, my bad things will be changed."

When he said this, his hands grabbed my hand even harder. Although his fingertips and palms were still cold, his breathing was hot. When he squatted beside me and looked up at me, his breathing kept blowing on my face. Compared with the temperature of his palm, it was like a slight and fire.

I was trembling slightly in such a temperature.

After a long time, I slowly pulled out one hand. He immediately wanted to grab my hand, but I gently covered my hand on his injured hand, pressed it gently, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I used to--a very early, long ago, I really hoped that Your Majesty could say these words to me."

“…”

"But later, what happened between us, gradually, this kind of heart faded."

“…”

"Slowly, I forgot."

“…”

"Later, I met Qinghan."

“…”

"Actually, he was not good to me, hurt me, and sent me to others, pretending to be amnesia-free. He said he would treat me well, but the tears I shed for him in my life are the most."

“…”

"But after saving me from Pei Yuanxiu in Jiehe, he told me that he would change."

“…”

"He said that we are not young anymore, he will change his temper and make me forget our past. The two of them are together well, which is the best lie I have ever heard."

“…”

"Your Majesty know, did I tell him at that time?"

His throat was a little hoarse, and he choked for a moment before saying, "What did you say?"

"I said," I said softly, "even if he changes, I don't have to return to him, because he doesn't have the power to ask me to do this, and I have no obligation to wait for him to change it."

“…”
