I looked at him: "You said why."
“…”
This time, he was silent for a long time, and then said, "Because, you want to see me not asking about politics; because, as long as I don't care about anything, they can attack the capital one day earlier; because, you want to avenge Liu Qinghan..."
I smiled faintly.
He said, "What are you laughing at?"
I said, "It's not that complicated."
“…”
"These are all things that have been persuaded, and I can't think so far."
“…”
"I don't advise you because there is no need."
“…”
"People start to persuade others, but they think that the person who is advised will adopt it, but you-" I said calmly: "I won't be too busy."
For a moment, he stopped talking.
Although he was always gentle in front of me, and he had almost never said anything harsh to me, since I met him, he had never really heard of him, let alone done anything I had advised him since I met him.
I advised him to stay in Jinling, but he didn't.
I advised him not to go to war with the court, he did not.
I advised him not to kill innocent people indiscriminately and not to displace the people, nor did he have any.
As of today, no matter whether he is satisfied or not, he has taken this path himself and has nothing to do with me. Naturally, I can't make it better and have to persuade me.
In the following time, neither of us spoke anymore. After eating a little bit of food blandly, it was already dark outside. Although there were many candlesticks in the room, the light in front of us gradually dimmed.
He has always been silent. Although two people don’t talk much these days, if they have been silent for too long, he will still find some words to tell me, unlike today.
That silence felt a little dull.
I went to bed early, but even in my dreams, I could feel the depressing atmosphere, as if a big stone was pressing against my chest, making people breathe uneasy.
This feeling lasted until the next day.
Just as I was having breakfast in the same dull atmosphere, Pei Yuanxiu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "If you advise me now, what would you say?"
"ah?"
I just ate something, and my mind was filled with fragrant porridge and vegetables. He suddenly said this, which made me feel a little overwhelmed.
"What did you say?"
"I said, if you really want to advise me, how would you advise me?"
“…”
I was quiet for a while and said, "I thought the topic was over."
“…”
"If you don't want to listen to my advice, just talk about it between you and me - I have no intention of advising you."
“…”
"So, that's all for this."
After saying that, I carefully picked up the spoon and prepared to eat something more, but he seemed to not care about what I had just said, and continued: "Whether you and me, whether it is hatred or anything else...what do you want me to do now?"
“…”
"I will listen to your advice, what will you advise me to do?"
Hearing him say this, I slowly put down the bowl and spoon in my hand, thought for a while, and said, "If I want to advise you--I will advise you and transfer all my troops to Tianjin."
“…”
"I will advise you to hold on to Tianjin."
Suddenly, I heard his breathing stop.
I don’t know what the situation outside is like these days, but at least one thing I know is that Master Ye’s strength cannot be underestimated. Since A Lan said before that he was about to reach Tianjin, he should have been fighting Tianjin during this period.
However, Tianjin should not be taken over.
Because Tianjin is the gateway to the capital, I have seen this clearly since I followed Pei Yuanxiu all the way north. Once Tianjin is taken down, the people in the capital cannot be so quiet. Of course, it is also possible that they are not quiet. However, my place is protected too well by Pei Yuanxiu and cannot see the chaos outside.
However, it was impossible for him to stay here so quietly, and Han Zitong could not have any room for me to persuade him to go to court and handle government affairs.
However, after hearing what I said, his current mood must be very complicated.
I wondered if he would ask me why I said this, or what he would do from my mouth, but then he didn't say anything, but instead picked up a little dish and put it in my bowl, and said softly: "Your complexion has improved recently, eat more."
I just looked at him and continued to lower my head and eat my food.
On this day, he did not stay in this place for a while, but I did not ask him what he had done. However, when I arrived outside the gang, I sat quietly on the couch by the window and listened to the wind outside, and heard a heavy and rapid footsteps coming from the wind, and some people's noisy sounds.
"Get out of here!"
"The Imperial Concubine, no. The emperor gave the order, no one was allowed to come here to disturb Miss Yan."
"What's wrong? The queen came yesterday. Why, can she come? Can't I come?"
"this--"
“Get out of here!”
There was a quarrel outside, especially when they walked to the door, it seemed that another palace maid stood up to stop me. I heard that the sound was really messy and almost started fighting, so I got up and walked over and opened the door.
A gust of cold wind, accompanied by the warmth of the sun, sprinkled on me.
When I saw me appearing at the door, the noisy sound outside suddenly became quiet.
Then, I heard a familiar voice and chuckled, and slowly walked over: "Miss Yan, it's been a long time since I saw you."
I smiled and nodded: "Miss Gardi--oh no, I should call me now, Empress of the Imperial Concubine."
I can't see it, but her outline can still be seen vaguely in the sun, even a little golden. I think it should be that she is gorgeous in costume. I can still remember her wild and beautiful appearance, but unfortunately I can't see her now.
The palace maids on both sides hesitated: "Miss Yan..."
I said calmly: "I am also an old acquaintance with the Imperial Concubine. I am very happy that she came to see me."
Hearing me say this, these people no longer stop them, but they also stood at the door with some difficulty and refused to leave. Gardi no longer angry with them. Instead, he came to me, looked at it for a while, and then said, "I originally wanted to tell you that you are fine, but looking at you, you are really fine."
“…”
"Why are you getting older so quickly?"
here we go again……
