After finishing the matters in the suburbs, Gao Zhen brought Luo Qingzhi back to the camp, but he did not unblock her acupuncture points immediately.
Gao Zhen squatted in front of Luo Qingzhi, feeling a little aggrieved and a little angry.
"Arlo, why do you always want to run away?"
Luo Qingzhi could not move or speak, she could only blink her eyes.
But Gao Zhen didn't make any move to open the acupuncture points, and continued: "Aluo, I won't let anyone test you anymore, and don't think about leaving anymore, okay?"
Gao Zhen had a pleading tone, but Luo Qingzhi looked at its still scarlet eyes, recalled his actions all the time, and suddenly felt that something was not good.
"Okay?" Gao Zhen continued.
Luo Qingzhi nodded.
Gao Zhen smiled, and Luo Qingzhi blinked again, seeming to be saying, asking him to unlock the acupuncture points.
"I'm going out to take care of something." Gao Zhen seemed to not understand, and after finishing speaking, he left the camp.
An hour later, the acupuncture points were automatically unlocked, Luo Qingzhi opened the camp, and the number of guards increased.
"Where's Miss Zhixin?"
The guard replied: "The girl is staying well in another tent."
"I want to see her." Luo Qingzhi said.
"Before the young master comes back, you can't go anywhere or see anyone."
Luo Qingzhi closed the door and waited in the room.
As soon as night came, her vision became blurry again.
The door was opened and she looked over immediately.
"Where have you been?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Gao Zhen walked over slowly and smiled, "Are you worried about me or others?"
Luo Qingzhi walked over, fumbled to find his arm, and reached up.
"At night, you still can't see clearly, can you?" Gao Zhen asked.
Luo Qingzhi did not answer the question, but asked him, "What did you eat?"
Gao Zhen also avoided this issue.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Have you not noticed that your anger is getting worse and worse?"
Gao Zhen didn't respond, just asked: "At night, your eyes still can't see, right?"
Luo Qingzhi sighed deeply, "If I don't answer your question, you won't answer mine?"
With this conclusion, Luo Qingzhi and Gao Zhen started an intensive question and answer session.
"Yes, my eyes still can't see at night."
Gao Zhen asked: "If I hadn't used Bai Yujue today, you would really have left, right?"
"yes."
Gao Zhen asked again: "If I must fight for this throne, will you really become my enemy?"
"yes."
Luo Qingzhi said every answer without hesitation, and Gao Zhen's expression became worse and worse.
"I have answered so many of your questions, I only need you to answer me one question." Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Zhen nodded, "Ask."
"What did you eat?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Gao Zhen took out the black porcelain bottle from his arms, "My mother-in-law gave it to me to enhance my skills."
Luo Qingzhi took the medicine bottle, took out a medicine and observed it for a long time. She had never seen it before.
"Don't eat anymore." Luo Qingzhi said.
"..."
Gao Zhen didn't answer, nor did he snatch it from Luo Qingzhi's hand.
Luo Qingzhi couldn't see clearly, so she didn't know that Gao Zhen looked aggrieved now.
"Erlang, if there was something in the past that I didn't express clearly, I can make it clearer."
Gao Zhen looked away, not wanting to take up the topic.
Luo Qingzhi took his arm, "At that time, it was my problem that I didn't save your father or protect you. But now that you have reignited the war, how many innocent people will suffer."
"Stop it, Jiro."
Gao Zhen lowered his head, thought for a while, and said, "Can I still look back?"
Luo Qingzhi felt that things had turned around, and immediately nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course."
Gao Zhen hugged her and put his chin on her shoulder and neck, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.
"No, Arlo, I can't look back."
Luo Qingzhi opened the distance between the two. Although she couldn't see Gao Zhen clearly now, she still stared at Gao Zhen and asked word by word: "I don't understand. You can obviously lean on me."
If Zhengdao wins this throne, I will help you, but why do you have to fight for this position on the charge of treason?"
Gao Zhen looked away and said calmly: "How many years, five years, ten years, or twenty years will it take to follow the right path?"
He grabbed Luo Qingzhi's arm and said, "Aluo, regarding the Imperial College matter, if he wants me to go to jail, go to jail, and if he wants to stop our wedding, stop it."
Gao Zhen took a deep breath and said seriously: "Aluo, I don't want my fate and yours to be arranged by others."
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "Erlang, that's not what happened. Let's not talk about the outcome of this battle. Even if you win, can you really completely control your own destiny? Your mother-in-law? The Ouyang family?
Maybe there will be others in the future..."
"Then why should I fight for the throne?" Gao Zhen said.
"For the silent majority." Luo Qingzhi said seriously, "Erlang, you have lived in the palace since you were a child and have experienced suffering. You should know best what it feels like to be unable to control yourself."
Luo Qingzhi fumbled and took Gao Zhen's hand, "Erlang, let's change this situation, okay?"
Gao Zhen was a little relaxed, and Luo Qingzhi continued: "Believe me, I will always be with you."
"......good."
Seeing that Gao Zhen finally agreed, Luo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"
There was a rapid knock on the door, and Luo Qingzhi felt panicked unconsciously, always feeling that something would happen.
When the door opened, Ouyang Hong said excitedly: "Success!"
Gao Zhen was confused, "What success?"
Ouyang Hong explained, "Didn't the concubine tell you? The emperor went on a personal expedition, and we surrounded him in Xunyang City."
Gao Zhen subconsciously looked back at Luo Qingzhi, looking at her worried look, but still explained, "I really don't know about this matter."
Luo Qingzhi lowered her head, thinking about the distance between Wuchang and Xunyang. She thought, "If we ride over quickly, we can get there in two hours."
"Give me a fast horse." Luo Qingzhi said.
Gao Zhen said: "Don't go."
"If something happens to Your Majesty now, then it will be too late." Luo Qingzhi said.
Ouyang Hong didn't know what was going on between the two of them, so he could only stand there and wait for instructions.
Perhaps God also wanted Luo Qingzhi to stop this matter. Her vision, which was still blurry at first, suddenly became extremely clear, and even her long-lost internal strength suddenly returned.
She didn't have time to explain, so she pushed Ouyang Hong away with a palm, ran out of the tent, grabbed a horse, and walked away with Gao Zhen's shocked and disappointed eyes.
"Your Highness, won't you stop me?" Ouyang Hong asked.
Gao Zhen seemed to have not heard and stayed where he was. Ouyang Hong said again: "Your Highness, I will lead someone to chase him."
"No need, I can't come back." Gao Zhen said softly, his eyes went black, he vomited a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
The moment he closed his eyes, Luo Qingzhi's flying figure appeared in his sight.
Luo Qingzhi ran all the way, and when she arrived at the Pingbei Army station, Luo Chen shouted in surprise.
"master!"
"Forget the pleasantries, take five thousand light cavalry and come with me to rescue them," Luo Qingzhi said.
Seeing Luo Qingzhi's serious face, Luo Chen immediately turned around and ordered his troops.
Hearing the noise, Feng Zinan and Qin Shu also came out.
Luo Qingzhi said: "Zhixin is still in Gaozhen, go and bring her back."
Feng Zinan nodded, "Yes."
"Master, order the soldiers and generals." Luo Chen said loudly.
"Okay, Luo Chen, come with me, the others stay here."
A group of more than 5,000 people rushed there in a hurry, but everything they passed was covered in dust.
Two hours later, at dawn, Luo Qingzhi arrived outside Xunyang City. At this time, the city gate had been breached.
Luo Qingzhi ordered, "Luo Chen, take two thousand people up the mountain from the right wing and suppress them with archers."
"yes."
"The others and I attacked from the front."
"yes."
Luo Qingzhi always liked quick attacks. The opponent seemed not to expect that there would be reinforcements, but after a while, he actually ordered a retreat.
Gao Yan on the city wall looked at Luo Qingzhi under the city wall. The two looked at each other, but their moods were different.
"I've fallen into a trap..." Luo Qingzhi thought to herself.
Luo Cheng led the remaining soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and Luo Qingzhi walked up to the tower to meet him.
"See Your Majesty."
For the first time, Gao Yan did not stop Luo Qingzhi from saluting. He stared at Luo Qingzhi. After a long time, he said his first words.
"Your eyes are healed."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Yes."
There was a moment of silence.
Gao Yan said: "I, I, didn't know they would besiege us."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "I know."
Gao Yan saw that Luo Qingzhi was in a bad mood and thought that he came to the battlefield and caused her trouble.
"sorry, I......"
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, turned to look in the direction of Wuchang, and seemed to be saying to herself, "Hey, I can't go back..."
Gao Yan's attention was all on Luo Qingzhi, so he naturally heard what she said. He thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Do you think the concubine came to besiege her on purpose, and she also informed you of the news on purpose."
Luo Qingzhi did not respond verbally, but sighed deeply, "I have already convinced Gao Zhen."
"Do you think she wants to drive a wedge between you?" Gao Yan asked.
Luo Qingzhi turned to look at Gao Yan, "Your Majesty, I ask you seriously, what exactly happened between you and the concubine?"
Gao Yan seemed to be hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he slowly said: "You must also know that she was proposed to me by my father in marriage. Although I didn't like it, I accepted it without much resistance.
Later, I discovered that the late emperor was in love with her."
Gao Yan did not continue. Luo Qingzhi guessed, "So, you let the concubine marry the late emperor as an excuse."
"yes."
Luo Qingzhi nodded, "No wonder you were so cruel to their mother and son."
"..."
Gao Yan asked: "Have you never thought that it is the mother and son who hate me?"
"..."
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, not wanting to think about the relationship anymore.
"Now, war is inevitable. So, what does Your Majesty think now?"
Gao Yan did not hesitate, "The rebels should be brought to justice."
Luo Qingzhi saluted respectfully, "I am sure that I will win this battle, but I also have a request."
Gao Yan didn't ask Luo Qingzhi's request and said directly: "I'm sure."
"..."
Gao Yan explained, "Because you chose me between me and him today, I can agree to whatever you want, including letting him go."
