I couldn't believe my eyes a little, so I raised my hand and rubbed my somewhat tired and heavy eyelids. When I looked again, it was the beautiful face. Although it was a faint feeling of fatigue under the invasion of time, especially the thin scar on her face, which was even more dazzling.

And I stood at the door, and couldn't speak.

Nangong Lizhu...how was she here?

Why did she come?

She had already walked up to me and stood face to face with a little indifference on her face: "Why, don't you recognize me?"

“…”

"Or, do you think I'm dead?"

“…”

I was speechless, after all, in my consciousness, I was not ready to see her in this place. The two of them looked at each other calmly for a long time, and I finally calmed down and said, "Come in first."

Then he turned to her side and let her walk into the room, and then said to Eunuch Yu who was about to leave, "I haven't used breakfast yet, so I have someone to send me some porridge and vegetables."

Eunuch Yu agreed to go down immediately. After a while, a maid brought a rich breakfast and set up a table.

Nangong Lizhu sat opposite the table, looking at the dazzling array of side dishes on the table - bright red pickled radish, green green vegetables, golden scrambled eggs, and snow-white porridge. Not only did it taste sweet, but the color was also bright and pleasant. Even though I still remember the coldness in my heart, I was still angry with me, and I couldn't help but move my index finger. Instead, she looked a little desolate at such a table of rich dishes.

I thought about it, but still didn't plan to ask about the previous one as soon as I opened my mouth, and just said, "Do you want to eat a little?"

“…”

She hesitated for a moment before nodding.

I served a bowl of porridge and handed it to her, and I started eating with the bowl of porridge. She only took a sip of the porridge and looked up at me: "Why are you - don't you want to ask, where have I been these days and what have I made?"

I swallowed a mouthful of porridge, then raised my head and met her gaze, and said, "I feel relieved to know that you are safe. So I plan to eat something first and put it on."

She looked at me quietly: "Are you still worried about whether I am safe?"

“…”

I thought about it and said, "I decided on the plan to escape from Jinling at the beginning. If something happened to you, I was worried that God would take this account on my head."

She immediately snorted coldly: "I knew you were not that kind."

“…”

It seemed that warmth was a bit disgusting for both of us, but instead, she spoke coldly. Her eyebrows stretched out and my appetite became a little better. After eating most of the bowl of porridge, the warm soup made my stomach feel very comfortable. I put down the bowls and chopsticks, but I saw that there was only a little less in her bowl and I didn't eat much at all.

I said, "Don't you eat more?"

“I can’t eat it.”

"Then..." I thought about it, then stopped persuading her, and just asked, "You, did you come with Wei-Pei Ningyuan?"

"You know?"

"I guess."

Yesterday, when Pei Yuanhao entered the city, there were four carriages in total. In addition to him and Pei Ningyuan, the Queen and Miaoyan, there was one. Since she was in front of me now, then the person in the carriage yesterday was naturally her.

If she arrived here alone, according to the current situation, it would be difficult for her to get close to Xi'an Prefecture. She could only follow Pei Ningyuan's men and enter the city with Pei Yuanhao.

She sighed softly and said, "Yes."

I hurriedly said, "Then, how did you get together with them?"

Her face darkened slightly, and then said, "After I left Jinling, I kept going up the river, Yangzhou and Jiangling, many places started fighting, and I didn't dare to stay, so I planned to go to Shu first, and then rush to the capital from this place to meet the emperor."

I asked, "Why didn't you leave Wen Fengxi and the others?"

She glanced at me and said, "They are not going to the capital."

“…”

"It's impossible to send someone to see me off."

“…”

"But I, I don't want to wait all the time. I want to return to the emperor earlier."

“…”

"I have a lot to say to him."

I didn't expect that she would say all her emotions and thoughts so bluntly in front of me, which made me feel a little unaware of what to say, but the next moment, her eyes darkened: "But until now, he can't even take out the time he faces me."

Speaking of this, Nangong Lizhu raised her head and looked at me, as if she was smiling on her face: "He has been facing you Liu Qinghan more than me."

“…”

At this moment, my voice became even more hoarse in my throat.

Because when I saw the smile on her face, it seemed to be even more ugly than crying.

I was silent for a long time, and said with a faint breath: "Do you know what happened yesterday?"

She shook her head.

I said, "Yesterday, someone was in the emperor's carriage and wanted to assassinate the emperor."

She said, "I heard of this, but fortunately he is fine."

"Yes, he is fine. Qinghan stood in front of the emperor and was willing to protect the emperor's safety with his life."

"Really?"

She looked at me with disbelief and opened her eyes wide, "That Liu Qinghan, he, is he protecting the emperor?"

"Yes. The assassin did not succeed, but there was an antidote on the assassin that could relieve the poison in Qinghan's body. As soon as he left, Qinghan's poison was released, and without the antidote, he might die at any time!"

I heard her breath tense up and asked subconsciously: "Then, then he now-"

I bit my lower lip and said, "He is not awake yet."

“…”

"I don't know when he will wake up."

“…”

"I don't even know if he can wake up."

“…”

"But you said that His Majesty the Emperor has more time to him than you. In fact, what their men want to do may not be understood by us women. Just like me, I thought Qinghan would give up his life for me, but if he really died for His Majesty the Emperor yesterday... what is this?"

As I said this, I smiled faintly.

However, despite saying this, I still understand it in my heart.

It's nothing. If he really died because of Pei Yuanhao, then nothing counts.

But in his heart, the responsibility he had faintly carried on his shoulders, the peaceful and prosperous era that the world might usher in in the future, would tell everyone what he was doing.

Nangong Lizhu looked at me silently for a while, her eyes flashed slightly, but I don’t know if it was because she was too tired, her eyes became dimmer.
