"Don't lie to me again from now on."

"..."

"I will not let you down either."

When I heard these two words that were very gentle but struck my ears hard, my heart skipped a beat and I turned my head to look at him.

The expression on his face was very calm, but there was an indescribable heaviness in that calmness, as if every word that seemed to be spoken easily just now was nailed down one by one.

What does he mean when he says these words?

Be honest with me?

An emperor cannot allow anyone to deceive him, because that is the crime of deceiving the emperor and a serious crime that requires beheading. But he told me this and asked me not to deceive him again, so he would not betray me.

These words came from the mouth of an emperor, but they gave me an indescribable strange feeling.

My fingertips, which were already warm under the heat of ironing, were now a little colder, and my heart was beating so fast in my chest that my ears were ringing.

I spoke, my voice a little hoarse: "Really?"

"Hmm."

He nodded slightly and rubbed my back with his chest. Apart from my own heartbeat, I could almost feel the beating of his heart in his chest. It seemed to be hitting my chest.

Heartbeat.

Do you want me to stop lying to you and commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?

Then can you give me a chance to stop lying to you?

As long as there is no harm, no pain, no imprisonment, and no behavior that hinders my steps, I am not willing to lie or hide to anyone, let alone hurt anyone.

As long as there is no such thing...

These words have been swirling around in my mind for I don’t know how long. Maybe I have had such extravagant requests every midnight dream, but I have never been able to really say them out, because I clearly remember that when I promised me so kindly,

He who gave me amnesty and the opportunity to leave the palace later closed the palace door in front of me bit by bit. That was a nightmare that I can't get rid of in my life, and it lingers to this day.

At this moment, his words seemed to open a gap. I just felt my head was hot and I subconsciously wanted to speak: "Then--"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice came from behind again——

"I know what has been on your mind."

"..."

"I once said that no one can compare with Pearl."

"..."

"But you are still special to me."

At this point, his voice seemed a little hoarse, and the hand around me still didn't relax, but it wasn't so strong either. He just kept me deeply trapped in his arms, as if I couldn't be separated anymore: "Over the years,

You are the only one I have ever cared about."

"..."

"So, no matter what you think or want, I can promise you."

"..."

"Except leave me."

My heartbeat stopped when I heard the last sentence.

The words that were lingering in my mind were shattered into powder at this moment. The sound that had been twisting in my throat finally turned into an inaudible breath and disappeared in the wind in an instant.

I closed my lips gently, stretched out my hand and pushed him: "Your Majesty, you don't want it."

His voice seemed to be smiling: "Don't worry. I told you, there is no one here."

"But I am afraid."

He stopped burying his head in my neck, slowly raised his head and looked at me, and I slowly said: "People's words are scary."

He looked at me, his eyes seemed to flicker for a few times, and then a smile of understanding appeared on the corners of his lips. He stretched out his hand to pinch the tip of my chin and shook it gently: "I understand."

"..."

"It's not long before the New Year's Eve banquet."

"..."

"I can wait."

He said he was waiting, but he seemed unable to hold himself back. He lowered his head and kissed me again. Then with a smile that was still lingering, he slowly straightened up, pulled my arm up smoothly, and asked me to sit against him.

Be more comfortable next to me.

But this time, he was wrong.

Just as I was sitting quietly next to him, and he had just taken the warm wine from the table and was about to drink it, there was the sound of someone running carefully on the snow below.

After a while, I saw Eunuch Yu walking up from the steps. He was a little cautious and said softly at the bottom of the steps: "Your Majesty."

His brows furrowed, a little displeased: "Yu Quan, can't you understand what I'm saying?"

Eunuch Jade trembled and knelt down: "I know my sin."

In fact, it is not indecent for me and him to be disturbed by others, but the emperor's words are the emperor's words, and it is absolutely not allowed to be disobeyed.

He then gave a cold glance: "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Yu looked up at me again, as if there was something unspeakable. Pei Yuanhao also felt something, stood up and walked over. Eunuch Yu hurriedly stood up and whispered something in his ear.

Halfway through, Pei Yuanhao said "Oh" and raised his eyebrows slightly.

When Eunuch Yu finished speaking, the expression on his face did not change much, but his eyes seemed a little deep and he pondered for a while, and said: "What now?"

"I've sent someone to check it out, and it's nothing serious."

"Well..."

I had been sitting back on the chair. As soon as Eunuch Yu came, I had already let go of my knees. I was holding on to the guardrail with one hand and looking at the scenery below. I almost didn’t hear what they said clearly, and I didn’t show any concern. Although

I know that behind my back, they all looked at me more than once.

After waving Eunuch Yu to leave, Pei Yuanhao came over again, still sitting behind me, and stretched out his hand to cover my hand holding the fence.

I didn't run away or look back, I just said in a calm tone: "Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"

"I'm fine."

"Eunuch Jade has already found his way here, how can anything be okay?"

As if he felt the smile in my words, he reached out and pinched my chin and gently turned my face. Sure enough, he saw the smiling corners of my lips. He also smiled: "It doesn't matter if it's important."

?"

"..."

"Now, I just want to be with you."

"..."

This time, my smile did not last too long in the smile on his lips. When facing him, I rarely could win, so I could only turn my head lightly: "I thank you, Your Majesty."<

/p>

Although he wanted to accompany me, it must be no small matter for Eunuch Yu to take the risk of angering the emperor to report. After accompanying me to enjoy the snow and taste wine, he quickly left the Imperial Garden. Before leaving,

They even sent someone to send me back.

It was almost noon. Apart from a few glasses of wine on the terrace, I was empty. The feeling of walking back in the ice and snow was not very pleasant. Fortunately, Aunt Wu and Shui Xiu still remembered that there was already heat as soon as they entered the door.

A table full of delicious food and fragrant soup.

I sat down and drank a bowl of soup until my limbs felt warm, then I sighed comfortably, then looked back at Shui Xiu and said, "What happened today?"

"Ah?"

She seemed a little stunned: "What's the matter?"

I forgot that in the past, the news from our side came very quickly, and almost all came from Xiao Fuzi. But now that she and Xiao Fuzi are in such trouble, naturally there is nothing to talk about.

On the other hand, Aunt Wu filled a bowl of rice and handed it to me, then lowered her voice and said, "There was something wrong outside the palace."

I raised my head and looked at her.

In fact, when it comes to the source of the news, Nanny Wu, who has been in the palace for decades, must be more knowledgeable than Shuixiu. She just lets the little girl make trouble. I was not surprised when she said this.

Passing the bowl to get the chopsticks: "Who's in trouble?"

"Lord Liu Qinghan."

Bang!

The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, and the full bowl of bijing rice was scattered on the floor. I couldn't care less about this and looked at her with wide eyes: "What?"

Aunt Wu seemed to have anticipated my reaction and was not too surprised. She stretched out her hand and pulled Shuixiu, who was also stunned. The girl staggered over and was stunned for a long time. Then she hurriedly squatted down to clean up.<

/p>

I just felt that my mind was completely blank at this moment, and the blood in my body was frozen like ice: "You, who are you talking about?"
