After saying that, he kept looking at Qinghan. No one around him spoke anymore. The whole forest was silent so that only the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.

I turned my head and looked at Qinghan, who had been standing there with a pale face and no words.

His expression was very low, his eyes were so dark that they could not even shine through such dazzling sunlight, and his lips were pursed into a line.

Although he didn't speak, I seemed to-I already knew his choice.

Under the valley, he had already told me clearly that he did not come to the capital for me.

For him, the South is the most important thing. The dreams he wants to realize, the responsibilities inherited from his bloodline, are the most important things in his life.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but clench my fists, and I heard him speak, his voice hoarse and almost unfamiliar.

"yes."

This word seems to be the judgment of fate on me.

I looked at this judge. He was not as arrogant as other judges of fate. It seemed that he was arbitrating not only others, but also himself. His bloodless face was not a drop of sweat or a trace of vitality in the scorching sun. It was pale and almost transparent.

My eyes blurred suddenly.

He still made his own choice.

However, this is at least an open end, without deception or harm, and even makes me admire and appreciate him in my heart. A good man should indeed set a goal for his life, never give up or regret to achieve it. This man is what I love and should also be loved by me!

But……

I slowly lowered my head, only to feel my eyes were hot, and tears kept rolling in my eyes, but I was always gritting my teeth and refused to cry.

But - I'm in such a pain!

I'm in such a pain!

The cramps in my heart made me feel that everything inside was shattered. The overwhelming pain almost made me unable to stand up and I was about to fall down.

Just as I was about to fall, Qinghan suddenly stepped forward: "Emperor."

What was he going to say? I turned around and looked at him in surprise. He did not look at me, but sneered at Pei Yuanhao, who was about to turn and leave, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"..." Pei Yuanhao frowned slightly and turned around to look at him.

"I dare to take action, please move."

Pei Yuanhao narrowed his eyes and looked at him, looked at me again, turned around and walked towards the other side with a calm face.

I watched Qinghan turn his head and walk over. A gust of wind came from behind. The feeling of cold soaking my muscles and bones made me shudder from my heart. Chang Qing kept looking at me, and at this time he slowly reached out and held my hand.

Her soft and slender body is long and soft, and it is ironed with her warmth and fragrance, but it can't warm my heart. I looked up and looked at her, and smiled reluctantly, but I felt more uncomfortable than crying.

She held my hand and used a little force.

.

The place where Qinghan and Pei Yuanhao were walking was not far away, but the roar of the waterfall not far away was enough to cover up their conversation. I only saw Qinghan's face always cold. What did he say to Pei Yuanhao? The face of the Nine Five Lord immediately darkened.

Then, neither of them spoke again.

The sun is getting hotter.

The whole earth was like a furnace, about to melt everyone, and every drop of blood in my body boiled at this moment - although I didn't know what they were talking about, I clearly understood that this conversation must have something to do with me and Qinghan.

Pei Yuanhao's face was almost dark under the sun.

I became a little nervous, and subconsciously held Chang Qing's hand with my backhand. My palms slowly became cold sweat. I could hardly hear anything she said and comforted me.

I could just vaguely feel a pair of hatred eyes staring at me.

This almost tormented confrontation lasted for no time, nor did it know how many people and horses there were in the forest, but the faint heat made everyone feel more uneasy and irritable. I heard the sound of horses snorting and walking on the ground, as if even the earth was trembling.

Finally, Pei Yuanhao spoke in silence.

He only said one sentence, and a stream of light flashed through Qinghan's eyes and bowed to him.

I opened my eyes wide and watched them both turn around and walk towards me. Pei Yuanhao's face was not good-looking, and Qinghan's expression was not relaxed either. He walked to me and looked down at me.

"Qinghan..." I wanted to ask him, but when I said something, I couldn't ask.

"We, go back."

“…”

I bit my lower lip without saying anything, just nodded, and wanted to follow him back. As soon as I turned around, I saw Pei Yuanzhen standing not far away, her eyes were almost blood-cold and red. Qinghan met her and was a little stunned for a moment, but nodding at all, but nodding heavily.

Pei Yuanhao had already turned over and waved his hand: "Go!"

.

This time I left, I really left.

Because of the urgent matters in the south, Pei Yuanhao had been delaying here for a long time. The next step was to travel around the night. Apart from supplying water and some necessary rest, the horse team went south and had almost no time to rest.

And as soon as I got on Chang Qing's carriage, I fell down.

I was half asleep. Actually, I knew that falling into the river valley like this, relying on some wild fruits and simple grilled fish, although the mental pleasure made people not feel hard, and my body still couldn't bear it after all. However, as soon as Qinghan's back left my sight, he lost consciousness.

In the darkness, it was like a world of upside down.

I feel a lot of pain and sadness in my heart, but I can't say a word. It just makes me feel like I'm being stabbed by countless sharp needles and cut by countless sharp blades. It's just painful, but I can't see blood. I want to find someone to cry, but no one can understand it.

I'm almost unable to stand it.

If I can't be beaten to death, I will feel pain even if I'm not afraid of being beaten.

However, after all these years and so much, I just made my situation more and more difficult.

I don’t know how long this darkness lasted. When I finally opened my eyes slowly, I saw that the carriage above my head was still shaking. What caught my eye was Chang Qing’s worried look: “Are you awake?”

"…The Empress?"

"Just wake up."

She sat calmly beside her and looked down at me: "Isn't it better?"

I nodded a little bit, and then I felt the corners of my eyes, cheeks, and temples were all wet. I was wondering, Chang Qing wiped the corners of my eyes with a silk handkerchief: "You, I've been sleeping for so long and have been crying."

“…”

I'm crying all the time?

He subconsciously raised his hand, Chang Qing had reached out to hold me, and was silent for a moment, and said softly: "It's over, don't think too much."

Actually, I really don’t want to think about it, but as soon as I open my eyes, I have to face all this. It’s like a person building his most beautiful home and family in a dream, but when I wake up, I realize that it’s just a dream.

Both hands are empty.

I couldn't speak, so I just smiled at Chang Qing in front of me. The smile seemed to be even worse than crying. She sighed and said nothing. After I washed up, I carefully fed me some soup. I ate without taste and swallowed it with intuition. Seeing my noodles with food, she seemed to comfort me, "The emperor hasn't come here these days."

Pei Yuanhao didn't come...

It is of course the best thing he can't come here, but - he hasn't arrived in the capital yet, and he still has a lot of things to do. How to deal with me? Maybe I can't see the real chapter yet.

I didn't answer this, but thought for a while and asked, "Empress, have some people left?"

She nodded: "She's gone."

She...Nangong Lizhu?

"After catching the rebels, not long after, the emperor sent someone to escort them back. Concubine Li and the others also walked together."

No wonder I didn’t see her appear when I was arresting Qinghan.

In the hatred of Nangong Lizhu towards me, I thought she must stay and see my body to be willing to be willing. Although, when I fell from such a high place, most people have long believed that I will die, and it doesn’t matter whether I look at it or not, but she surprised me a little.

I don't know what she is in a hurry to go back and do.

Chang Qing glanced at me and murmured: "The emperor asked many people to follow me, and there were also--the old Taoist priest."

That old Taoist priest, without desire?

He said he was following, so he should be asked to escort him. This man's martial arts are so profound that he is in charge, so naturally he is not afraid of any rebels causing trouble. Nangong Lizhu can also return to Beijing safely, but he will kill two birds with one stone.

However, when I mentioned this old Taoist priest, I remembered what Qinghan said to me at the bottom of the valley.

Why did this old Taoist priest ask Qinghan about me? And - the brand? What does he care about the brand I do? That famous brand is just a proof of the identity of a palace maid. Now I don’t even value it, so why are there anyone thinking about it?

Thinking of this, I felt a surge of bone loss and exhaustion.

Originally, I thought that after leaving the valley, I thought that I could get rid of all this with Qinghan in everything, and no longer had to spend these thoughts, no intrigue, and fight openly and secretly with others, but now...

Chang Qing's brows were also frowning. I knew she was in a heavy mood. If the Shen family collapsed, there must be a major purge in the harem. The chaos in the south was not so easy to solve. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to want to say something to me. I said softly: "Empress, I... I am a little tired from the officials."

She glanced at me, understood and said softly: "You have a rest. You're almost here to the capital."

I closed my eyes and nodded.

I don’t want to care anymore, nor do I have the strength to care anymore. If possible, I would rather be a kind-hearted person or a petty person who only knows how to be romantic and romantic, and look at the chaos of the world for thousands of years. So what?
