After he said those words, there was no voice in the cave. Except for the gurgling water outside and the chirping of birds in the forest, everything was as quiet as the heartbeat at this moment, and there was a breath as warm as the spring breeze in March.

Spread around.

I just feel warm in my heart.

I gently moved closer to him, half-snuggling, half-hugging him, but no matter whether I was leaning on him or he was leaning on me, I didn't feel any burden at all, even -

The pain and unbearable memories of the past can be ignored at this moment.

Only at this moment, his tenderness is real.

He seemed to be able to feel my almost cat-like clinging intimacy. He wanted to melt his body into him. He glanced down at me and didn't say anything. He just gently rubbed the top of my head with his chin.

Let me fit deeper into his arms.

The two of them just sat like this.

After a while, I let him go and got busy again.

Although the atmosphere is rare and peaceful, our current situation is not optimistic. The injury on his back is not easy to heal, and the injury on his forehead is not light. Although men don't care about appearance, it will not look good after all. I gave

He treated the injury on his back, then chewed the herbs to reduce the swelling and put them in the palm of his hand. He raised his chin and carefully applied it to his forehead.

As soon as the medicine was applied, I heard him take a breath of cold air.

Looking at his slightly frowning brows, knowing that he was in pain, I actually smiled and said, "Do you know it hurts?"

He was in so much pain that he couldn't grit his teeth tightly and trembled slightly: "Do you think I'm made of stone?"

"I really thought you were a stone-hearted person."

Speaking of this, his face became solemn, he looked up at my somewhat sad eyes, and said softly: "Do you blame me for not telling you in advance?"

"..."

I didn't say anything, I just used more strength on my hands.

His brows furrowed, and it could be seen that he was in pain, but he did not cry out for pain, and just endured it silently. After being silent for a while, he slowly said: "I thought you would understand."

My hands trembled, and I stopped and looked at him.

The two of us were leaning against each other. At such a close distance, I could almost count every eyelash on his face, trembling with his heartbeat. I could also feel each other's breath blowing on my face, bringing a warm and light numbness.

The feeling has spread to my heart.

I thought you would understand.

Actually... I thought I would understand.

Someone once said that I am the most sensible woman and can make the clearest judgments of right and wrong. Originally, I understood who he was, and I should understand and trust him better than anyone here.

I should believe him, but I don't.

Not only did I not believe him, I even doubted him——

Thinking of this, I shut my mouth.

The atmosphere became a little dull, but I carefully applied the medicine on him, tore off a piece of petticoat to bandage him, and then gently wiped the area around the wound. While doing everything, I didn't say anything, and neither did he. , but I could feel his eyes staring at me all the time. In this silence, he seemed a little uneasy and said softly: "Do you have a lot to ask me?"

"..."

"Ask you and I will tell you."

My hand paused on his wound and slowly looked into his eyes: "When did it start?"

"You mean——"

"Your plan with the emperor."

What I'm thinking of should be around the time he took over as Captain of Qingche. During that time, he had close contact with the emperor and often went in and out of the imperial study. Fu Badai, whose sinister ideas for Pei Yuanhao were probably from From that time on, they had already decided to get rid of Shen Gongye and his forces.

But his answer was beyond my expectation——

"Before the teacher comes to Beijing."

"What?"

Seeing my shocked look, Liu Qinghan nodded and said seriously: "Actually, the emperor threw the imperial edict given to the teacher before, and the teacher just threw it away without paying any attention to it; but the emperor later posted another post with It’s in the name of the teacher’s old friend’s daughter, and there’s a secret letter in that post.”

I was shocked. Wasn’t the post that Pei Yuanhao later posted to Fu Badai the same idea I gave to Chang Qing, posted in the name of Liu Zhaoyi?

I suddenly understood.

That post was in the name of Liu Li, which was just a face-saving statement, but no matter how condescending it was, Fu Badai and she were not even close friends, and he would definitely not go to Beijing for her face; but, Because it was Liu Li's post, some people with ulterior motives would relax their vigilance, but they did not expect that all this was just a cover-up.

What really worked was Pei Yuanhao’s secret letter!

I asked hurriedly: "Is this what the secret letter said?"

"Yes." Qinghan nodded and said, "I read the secret letter to the teacher, and he didn't speak anymore. He just stayed in the room for three days, and when he came out, he had already decided to go to Beijing."

So that’s it.

It seems that Pei Yuanhao made a risky move by asking Fu Badai to go to the capital. But - Sheng took the risk. He made the right move. Fu Badai really came to the capital and was really willing to be used by him. .

It's just that maybe this plan didn't sound cold at first, but because of Fu Badai's eyes, all the plans were known to him, so he was involved and became a vital chess piece in the entire chess game.

Now that I think about it, I can almost figure out the whole thing.

Fu Badai's entry into Beijing has implicated the slow rise of the entire southern power in the court. The emperor has made an obvious trend, and Shen Gongyi's side will naturally have to respond; and my relationship with Liu Qinghan and Pei Yuanhao

, seemed to have become a gap in this bureau, so he told Liu Qinghan how my life in the palace had been worse than death over the years, deliberately irritating and dividing Qinghan, and Fu Badai had always liked to beat students.

, so that Qinghan could surrender openly and openly, and made a superficial article.

Of course, a cunning and cunning person like Shen Gongye would not believe it easily, and they did not really want him to believe Qinghan.

In fact, both sides are acting out a play and playing a game of chess.

It’s just that the chess game is outside the game.

I have already thought about stealing military symbols and calling Wen Fengxi. But now that I think about it, it’s just a few sentences, but only those who have truly experienced it can know the thrill and tension involved.

I don’t know how Qinghan did it and how he endured it.

But——

Recalling the most surprising person in that battle, I raised my head and looked at Qinghan: "Have you seen that Yan Wuyu before?"

I don’t know why, but when Yan Wuyu was mentioned, Qing Han’s expression became a little strange.

He glanced at me for a while, then nodded: "Yeah."

I have been wondering before, if it is a military talisman, Wen Fengxi can send someone over to contact Qinghan; but that old Taoist priest, he is deep in the palace and knows nothing about Chun Lie, how does he know what to do?

Time to come here? He said before that he would come as promised, and I have been wondering what their agreement was.

Hearing my question, Qinghan's expression became even more strange. After hesitating for a long time, he looked to the side with twinkling eyes and said, "Yes, it's the eldest princess."

"Eldest princess?" I was stunned - Pei Yuanzhen?

When I mentioned her, my eyebrows twisted unconsciously: "What's wrong with her?"

Qing Han glanced at me and said hesitantly: "I told her that this time I was dealing with the emperor, and I left out an important piece of evidence that could prove that the emperor's accession to the throne was a conspiracy to usurp the throne. As long as I get that piece of evidence

, Your Majesty, naturally..."

I understood immediately.

To deal with the emperor, Pei Yuanzhen is naturally happy to see the success; and this matter is Qinghan's matter, she will definitely——

Speaking of which, she was also a delicate princess. No matter what the situation was, even Pei Yuanhao did not let her suffer any injustice. He actually returned to the capital all the way just for Liu Qinghan's words.

Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

No wonder, now that I think about it, I didn't see Pei Yuanzhen again shortly after the spring hunting started. But I was too troubled and entangled at the time, so I didn't take it too seriously. Now I understand that it was Qinghan who transferred her back to the capital;

As soon as Yan Wuyu saw the eldest princess returning to Beijing, he knew that the situation in Juma had changed, so he immediately left the palace and headed north.

But——

I stretched out my hand and held his thin face. Liu Qinghan froze slightly. I also exerted a slight force on my hand, making him unable to avoid his eyes and looking at me: "Is this all?"

"..." His eyes became more and more uncertain: "What?"

I bit my lower lip and said, "Why does it have to be her?"

As a message, anyone can do it. Besides, Pei Yuanhao has his own confidants, and he can only do better than Pei Yuanzhen when he is sent out. Why should it be her and why should he lie to her?

I recall that on the road, when Pei Yuanzhen held the book of poems in front of me and talked about his favorite poems, he looked almost proud, and felt an indescribable depression and sadness in his heart.

I don’t know if it’s for her or me.

Qinghan was almost unable to escape from my gaze. He slowly lowered his eyes. His long eyelashes covered those clear eyes, which seemed to be covered with a layer of haze that could not be dispelled. After being silent for a long time,

, he spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and distant, looking so unfamiliar——

"In this case, she can avoid this battle."

"...!"

My heart skipped a beat.

What did he say?

I raised my head, my breathing and heartbeat were completely messed up, and I looked into those eyes that were so dark that it was almost impossible to see through. My voice sounded broken and trembling: "What did you say?"

"..."

"Say it again?"

"..."
