Chapter 610: What is written in the abdication edict?(1/2)
"What are you here for?"
When I said these words, I almost gritted my teeth, otherwise I didn't know how to make my voice less trembling and less fragmented; I used to be undefended against the man in front of me, and I still am like this until now.
But I don’t know when I will be crushed and completely defeated.
He looked at me calmly and said nothing.
He was wearing a snow-white casual jacket, which was something I had never seen before. The mist-like clothes were blown by the wind and fluttered slightly, but his rock-like rough temperament gave the clothes another artistic conception.
, as if the clouds and mist surround a high mountain, giving people a feeling of firmness and stability.
I have seen him in many ways, poor, rich, happy, downtrodden...but I never thought that one day, when he stands in front of me, I will also feel strange.
I was shaking uncontrollably, and even Shuixiu and Kuan'er could see it next to me. Shuixiu hurriedly came over to help me, and Kuan'er walked up to me and said to him: "Master Liu, you are too
It’s so unruly!”
"..."
"You came into the Queen's tent without announcing it. Your clothes are disheveled and your behavior is inappropriate. What a shame!"
"..."
He blinked, looked down at his snow-white casual clothes, seemed to smile slightly, and then saluted Chang Qing: "Empress, I have offended you."
Chang Qing slowly stood up from the bed and walked over, giving him a cold look: "Mr. Liu said this, I feel a little embarrassed."
Liu Qinghan looked at her, silently lifted his front, and knelt at the door: "I am a humble minister, Liu Qinghan, pay my respects to the Queen."
Chang Qing then walked up to him and said coldly: "What brings you here?"
"I have come here to look for Lord Yue."
"Oh?"
Chang Qing was startled when she heard this, and looked back at me who had completely lost all reaction. When she saw my pale face and dull eyes, she frowned slightly and turned back to him and said, "You came to find her? You two
, do you have anything to say?"
When Liu Qinghan heard this sentence, he seemed to be moved and looked up at Chang Qing.
When he raised his head, he not only saw the eyes of Chang Qing, but also the eyes of everyone else in the room. They were all looking at him with such cold disgust, as if they were really looking at a vicious dog biting its owner and wishing to kill him with a knife.
The pair of dark eyes just flashed, as if he saw nothing, then lowered his head and said calmly: "Wei Chen is looking for her to discuss something."
Chang Qing said coldly: "It seems to me that you have nothing to say anymore."
He knelt there and was silent for a moment: "I hope the Queen will give me permission."
Chang Qing frowned, as if she was about to get angry. At this time, I gently stepped forward and said, "Empress, I will follow him."
"..." Chang Qing turned back and looked at me: "Qingying?"
"Wei Chen also wants to know -" I said, slowly turning my head and looking at the man kneeling on the ground: "He has something to say to Wei Chen."
Following him out of the camp, I found that the noisy crowd outside had dispersed. I didn't know what method they used, but looking at the pattern of the imperial guardsmen surrounding them, three steps to one post and five steps to one post, I roughly understood.
.
I followed him and walked slowly, while the soldiers around me watched from a distance and saluted us respectfully.
Of course, I also know that the gift was not meant for me.
When we reached an open space, there was no one around. Although his steps did not stop, they slowed down hesitantly. I simply stopped and stood behind him without moving.
"..."
He felt something and stopped, turned around and looked at me.
"What do you have to say."
"..."
"You speak, I listen."
"..."
"Say it."
He stood there in silence, with no warmth at all on his face and eyes. His eyes were so calm and almost cold that my fingertips were cold. Then he spoke and said in the calmest words: "You
Go to the king's tent and persuade the Queen Mother."
"...What?!"
"The situation has been decided. Please advise the Queen Mother not to——"
Snap!
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a crisp sound.
I stood in front of him, my hands still frozen in the air, and the burning pain in my palms surged up after a moment of numbness.
His face was slapped to one side, and there were no marks on his dark cheeks, but I knew he must be in pain! I held back all my strength for the slap just now, and I felt more angry and annoyed than ever before.
It broke out at this moment, and even I was in so much pain, so it would definitely hurt him even more!
I trembled: "What did you say?"
"..."
"Is this your 'things depend on human effort'?"
"..."
"Do you know what you are doing?!"
He was silent for a long time and slowly turned his head. His cheeks seemed a little swollen, but his face was still expressionless. The slap interrupted his words, but it did not break the ice in his eyes. On the contrary,
He seemed to look at me more calmly: "I know very well."
"You——"
I gritted my teeth and raised my hand to hit him in the face again, but he grabbed my wrist.
My slender wrist looked extremely fragile in his thick palm, as if he would break my hand and crush it with just a slight movement. However, although he grabbed me hard, he did not hurt me.
The cold breath washed over my skin, making me shiver.
He didn't make any big movements, but he seemed very tired. He just grabbed my wrist, panting a little, and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't waste your efforts anymore."
"..."
"I know what I'm doing, and I don't need anyone to remind me."
"..."
"I don't want to hurt you."
"..."
"Be obedient."
After saying this, he stopped talking, but grabbed my wrist and pulled me hard towards the royal tent.

He dragged me all the way to the king's tent. The guards here were even tighter. In addition to the surroundings of the king's tent, there were three teams of soldiers guarding the fence, making the inside airtight.
I only glanced at it, and there was another layer of cold sweat on my forehead.
The man in front of me still held on to me until he opened the curtain and pulled me in.
As soon as I entered the royal tent, I immediately saw the person on the bed.
Pei Yuanhao was still lying on the bed, and the sleeper had not woken up; and the Queen Mother was still sitting on the edge of the bed, almost the same as when I left the royal tent. It seemed that she had not even moved during this period, even in her clothes.
The corners of her eyes have not changed, and those old eyes are always looking at the person on the bed, quietly, as if no matter how earth-shattering changes happen outside, they cannot shake her in the slightest.
As soon as I saw her, I immediately broke away from Liu Qinghan's hand and stepped forward: "Queen Mother."
She heard my voice and slowly raised her head: "Girl."
"Queen Mother!"
I walked to her side and looked down at the person on the bed. Pei Yuanhao's face was still a bit sickly red, and his lips were dry and cracked, but he was sleeping deeply. He showed no sign of waking up soon, nor did he look like Nianshen expected.
He said that he was "critically ill" as everyone said.
I breathed a sigh of relief and heard Liu Qinghan say slowly from behind: "Master, she's here."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Liu."
"Your Majesty Taifu, your words are serious."
I frowned and turned around, only to find that there was another person in the tent - Shen Gongye. He had been sitting on a chair on the other side of the tent, with a calm look on his thin and shrewd face.
With a little smile, he turned to look at me and said with a smile: "Master Yue, we meet again."
"..." I looked at him coldly and said nothing.
He didn't seem to be expecting me to speak, and still said with a smile: "You must also know very well what I want to do by inviting you here."
I stood by the bed and glared at him: "No matter what you want me to do, I tell you - don't even think about it!"
