I stayed alone in that empty room for a long time. I don’t know if I was thinking about Nangong Lizhu last night or Pei Yuanhao just now. I just waited until I came to my senses in a daze that the rain outside was getting lighter.

I walked out with an umbrella, passed the door, and arrived at Qinghan's room.

When I pushed the door open, a very fragrant smell soaked out with the warmth in the room. It was the incense in the room. The scent of smoke rising from the incense burner slowly spread out in this quiet room, adding to a little more tranquility. When I turned around, I saw Qinghan had fallen asleep on the bed, holding a book in my hand.

I leaned the umbrella to the corner of the wall, walked over, and gently pulled the book out of his hand.

However, such a light movement still woke him up. He said "umm" and opened his eyes and immediately saw me: "Light?"

I smiled and said, "Why can't you sleep well? You will be stiff when you sleep like this."

He was stunned for a moment before slowly sitting up with his body and moved his neck slightly, as if he was really stiff. He hurriedly pressed his shoulders and rubbed them. I smiled and took a piece of clothes to put on for him and said, "Although it's summer, it's easy to catch a cold in such a weather. Haven't you heard Yao Lao say that? You can't care about your body like this anymore."

He looked up at me, and without saying anything, he obediently put on his clothes, put them together, and then said, "How is it?"

“…”

"Can medicine help me to cure my poison?"

I smiled at him: "Old Yao is here, he can't solve it. Who else can solve it in this world?"

He said, "But, I just saw Lao Yao's expression-"

Before he could finish, I said, "Because, you still have a little bit of pain to suffer."

"suffering?"

He looked at me, probably because the Lord Ye had suffered a lot when he detoxified him. When a person like him heard these two words, he also had a little dodging in his eyes. I said, "This is also impossible. The emperor suppressed your toxicity for you before, but now the process of refining antidotes and detoxification with you is more complicated than what I had imagined before."

"That--"

"Don't worry," I looked at him: "The elder Yao will find a way, and the emperor will do it."

“…”

He looked at me quietly for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

I felt a sigh of relief in my heart, but nothing appeared on my face. Seeing his lips dry, I turned around and poured tea on the other side of the room, and heard him say behind me, "By the way, Yao Chang is going to come to see his daughter, have you seen it?"

When I heard this, the tea came out a little from the mouth of the cup. I wiped it with my fingers quietly, then carried it back and said, "I didn't see it."

"No?"

He looked up at me in surprise, took the teacup I handed him: "Why?"

"Nangong Lizhu - ran away."

"Run away? What does it mean?"

"That's right, I'm leaving alone."

"Why did she leave?"

I picked up the book and put it on one side, then put it on the curtain that drooped the other side, and then said, "What else can I do? She is alive just for the word love, life and death, probably for the word love."

Qinghan was silent for a moment and said, "Because of the Emperor?"

I nodded: "She came with Pei Ningyuan, but she hasn't been able to see the emperor for so many days."

"Why didn't the emperor see him?"

"She is Yao Lao's daughter."

"Um."

"The emperor's mother is not the imperial concubine of Bintian, who was in the Gugu of Juma, but Empress Zhaolie, who died in a fire in the palace that year. She is the sister of Yao Lao and the eldest lady's sister."

Qinghan sat there in a daze. After a while, he heard him sigh lightly, as if he had finally come back to his senses.

He whispered: "I didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in the middle."

I smiled faintly.

However, after a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his head and looked at me: "So, isn't the emperor your brother's-"

I nodded.

Indeed, if we count based on the blood relationship between the Xue family, Pei Yuanhao and Yan Qingchen are still cousins.

I said, "But Qingchen may not treat him as a brother."

Qinghan smiled and said, "Your brother is indeed such a person. I believe that if he meets the emperor this time, he will definitely stand completely on the standpoint of Xichuan and will not have any bias because of kinship."

"Then, of course..."

When I recalled Yan Qingchen's unwavering gaze when he said that he was a businessman in Xichuan, I knew that his roots were in Xichuan, and he regarded his life as equally important as Xichuan.

Qinghan slowly got out of bed with the bed pillar. I hurried over to support him. He said, "I just don't know when the news from the academy will come."

"Just wait for the news, why do you think so much?"

"Then, Miss Nangong has left like this, what should Lao Yao do?"

"Of course, we can't just let her leave alone, no one can rest assured. The emperor has ordered people to search in the city and look outside the city. I saw her last night. Even if I wanted to leave, she, a weak woman, would not be able to go anywhere, even if she was going to leave for half a day in one night."

"But there is a mess outside. She can come safely because King Ning took the troops and walked alone. What if he meets a robber?"

When I heard this, my heart sank.

This is exactly what I worry about.

In such a chaotic world, a woman is alone, not to mention whether she can survive with such a desperate and helpless state of mind, just thinking about the chaos outside is enough to make people struggle.

If something happens to her outside...

If she...

Qinghan was already supported by me and walked to the table to sit down, but at this time he seemed to feel something and touched my hand: "What's wrong with you? Your hands are so cold."

When he touched his warm hand, I suddenly shuddered, came to my senses, and hurriedly said, "It's nothing. But when you said this just now, I thought, and I felt that she was too willful and too unconsidered for herself."

"Yes, if something happened to her, let alone anything else, how sad her relatives would be."
