After Gardi and Han Zitong had a fight, the inner cabinet became much quieter.

Not long after, all the preparations in the palace were done. I heard that even the Queen's Jingren Palace had been almost done. Just by waiting for the emperor's order, everyone would follow him to Tianjin.

However, Pei Yuanxiu never gave this order again.

What I know is that Texas has been captured, and Shengjing and Pei Yuanhao's troops are already very close to the capital.

Of course they sent troops to resist, but from the battles I had "heard" on the snow field, I realized that at this time, almost no one could resist Pei Yuanhao's army anymore.

What's more, there are also people from Shengjing.

What's more, Pei Yuanxiu listened to my advice and placed most of his troops in Tianjin, which naturally caused great difficulties for the Ye Sect Master who attacked Tianjin, but the defense in the capital was relatively empty.

Therefore, it was almost the moment when their troops arrived at the city.

Under such circumstances, even those who had previously strongly opposed the emperor's move to Tianjin could only shut up now, because everyone had a feeling of being in a dilemma.

But Pei Yuanxiu did not give orders.

Two days passed in a row, and he no longer even summoned the ministers to court, but he was alone in the court. When I heard this news, it was when the twilight was coming that Han Zitong came to me in person.

She said, "He couldn't listen to all the advice."

“…”

"Yan Qingying, you gave him this dilemma, you should persuade him."

I looked at her with some amusement.

Han Zitong's eyes were not blind. Of course, she could see the coldness on my face clearly, but she was not angry at all, and just said calmly: "Don't you hope he can go to Tianjin? Now he has not moved, aren't you worried?"

“…”

"If you still want him to walk into your trap, then you'd better persuade him."

After saying this, she left.

I looked up and looked outside. The setting sun was like fire, and there was an almost "dazzling" light shining in my eyes, which made me hesitate for a while.

At this time, Qiu'er and Lu'er both came over and I said to them, "Here I change my clothes and let's go and take a look."

The two of them immediately found a piece of clothes for me to put on, and then helped me out of the inner cabinet.

It takes a long walk from the inner cabinet to the main hall. There are no sedan chairs, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs passing by along the way. Although they dare not say anything in front of me, even if they can't see it, I can still feel their hostile eyes and the whispers walking behind me.

After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at the hall.

There were still several guards guarding at the door here. When they saw me, they all came to stop me.

"The emperor has given orders, no one can disturb you!"

I said, "I just want to say a few words to the emperor and ask a few to communicate with you."

Of course they also knew who I was, so they hesitated for a while before saying, "Miss Yan, please come back."

"The emperor's temper these days - we dare not go in and touch it."

"If you have any words, it will be no longer too late to say it when the emperor returns to the inner cabinet."

“…”

I hesitated a little, of course I was not willing to let these people make things difficult for me. After all, they were all just doing their own jobs. I was just worried that Pei Yuanxiu didn't want to return to the inner cabinet at all, or at this time, he didn't want to go anywhere.

So I whispered: "But-"

But before I could finish my words, I heard a muffled sound coming from the closed door-

"Let her come in."

When the guards heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "The emperor uploads you, Miss Yan, please come in."

I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that he would react so quickly, asking Qiu'er and others to help me walk to the door and push open the door. Immediately, my eyes, which were already blind, could not even feel the light at all.

I don't know how dark it is.

I walked in carefully, and the door immediately closed behind me.

At this moment, I felt like I was walking in the dark night when I couldn't see my fingers. I was very careful before taking every step, especially the hall was empty and high, and the sound of very light footsteps would echo, which made me feel even more shocking.

I walked a few steps forward and probably felt that I had walked to the center of the hall.

But I don't know where he is.

Just as I stopped hesitantly, his hoarse voice came from ahead: "Why are you here?"

“…”

It sounds like he is sitting on the golden dragon throne above the hall.

Thinking about it this way, it feels a little funny.

Of course, he only has that place to go.

I said calmly: "I heard that you have been here for the past few days and stayed in the door. The queen and the others are very worried, so I want me to persuade you."

He was silent for a moment and said, "What about you?"

"ah?"

"Are you worried about me?"

“…”

I was silent and didn't say anything, and he looked at me for a while and chuckled.

The laughter should be very low. Perhaps only he could hear it from his heart, and only laugh for him to hear it. However, in this empty hall, the laughter was suddenly magnified countless times.

The ridicule and helplessness are also clear.

I stood quietly for a while before stepping forward and whispered, "Don't you bear it?"

“…”

This time, he was silent.

In the complete darkness, my hearing became more sensitive. I could almost hear his breathing suddenly stop, as if he was strangled to his throat. He didn't speak, but was so quiet. After a while, a very light sound came, as if he was reaching out to caress the dragon throne under him.

I said, "I can't bear to leave."

He chuckled again, but this time there seemed to be no more emotions in the laughter, only with deep fatigue.

He said, "I thought I could let go."

I thought about it and said, "It took you so much effort and so many years to get into this seat. It would be strange if you can really give up easily."

He said, "Human hearts are strange."

“…”

"It took so much effort, so many years, and even almost lost my most precious thing to get it. I thought I could give it up after I figured it out, but when things came to an end, it was still hard to give up."

I said calmly: "Your heart cannot deceive you."

“…”
