Chu Yunning slept for a long time this time, for two days and two nights, as if he wanted to consume all the fatigue accumulated during this period.

"Your Majesty, is Chu Shanggong still awake?" Eunuch Mo has lost count of the times he has come to visit.

.

Every time the person comes to bed, his eyes are closed.

Emperor Mingwen, on the other hand, sat aside and quietly watched the official affairs being handled, and never took matters into his own hands when it came to serving Chu Yunning.

Every time I do it myself.

Eunuch Mo had followed Emperor Mingwen for so long, how could he not see the key to it?

Eighty percent, it was Emperor Mingwen who fell in love with Chu Shanggong.

It's normal to think about it. Who wouldn't be attracted by Chu Shanggong? Chu Shanggong is intelligent, smart, sensible, and like a confidant.

It's much better than those women in the harem who are just jealous.

"No..." Chu Yunning shouted in her sleep, with thin beads of sweat oozing out from her forehead. She suddenly waved her hand and grabbed Emperor Mingwen's hand.

"I'm here." Emperor Mingwen lowered his voice and said softly.

Gradually, Chu Yunning calmed down again, her eyes still closed and her brows furrowed, as if she was encountering something bad.

Eunuch Mo stepped forward and sighed softly: "I have known Chu Shanggong for so long, but this is the first time I have seen Chu Shanggong suffer such a big blow. I don't know what Dongling said."

Several times when he was forced to go to the palace, no matter how dangerous things happened, Chu Yunning could remain calm. However, this time, just a few words from the other party made Chu Yunning sick for three days.

Emperor Mingwen frowned.

"Your Majesty, there is no good person in the Gong family, and neither does this Miss Shen Bi." Eunuch Mo was furious.

"Step back first."

He needs some quiet time.

If it is really related to Dongling, he will fight Dongling to the end at all costs.

Another day passed, Chu Yunning's throat was about to smoke, and his whole body felt as if he had been run over by a car, and the pain was severe.

"Water...water..."

After shouting twice, he received a quick response. Eunuch Mo lifted up the curtain and came in: "Oh, Chu Shang Palace, you finally woke up."

Chu Yunning raised her eyes and pointed at her throat. Eunuch Mo agreed and immediately poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. Chu Yunning drank three cups in a row before his throat finally calmed down and he cleared his throat: "Where is the emperor?"

Eunuch Mo looked a little confused when he heard this and hesitated without answering.

Seeing this, Chu Yunning knew something was wrong: "Did the Emperor go to Dongling?"

"Chu Shang Palace..." Eunuch Mo was helpless and couldn't hide anything from her, so he said: "The emperor left last night and has not come back yet. The emperor wants to find out the reason. Since you met Miss Shen Bi,

After that, I came back and slept for three days and three nights. The emperor was always with you, and the emperor was also worried about you."

Eunuch Mo said it all.

Since we can't hide it anyway, we might as well let Chu Yunning know the emperor's thoughts.

Chu Yunning opened the quilt and wanted to get off the ground, but Eunuch Mo quickly stopped her: "You are still weak, so you can't get off the ground."

"Don't worry, I'm in good shape. Nothing will happen to me." Chu Yunning put on her shoes smoothly, wrapped herself in a cloak and walked out.

Snowflakes were still falling outside, and it was completely white. The cold wind stung her cheeks. Chu Yunning squinted her eyes. If she was trapped in the mountains in such bad weather, she would not be able to get out.

Chu Yunning called Lieutenant General Li: "You are most familiar with the border. I have planned out all the mountains and valleys nearby, and there is also the only way to Dongling."

She was worried that Emperor Mingwen would be trapped on the road.

Lieutenant General Li did not dare to refuse, and immediately compiled a detailed map, marking the mountain passes. Chu Yunning took it and took a look.

"I don't think the emperor will necessarily take the steep mountain road. He will definitely take the main road, which is safer. Is Chu Shang Palace worried too much?" Vice General Li said.

Eunuch Mo interjected: "If we take the big road, it will probably take us a day and a night to get there. But if we take the small road, although it is risky, it is the shortest route after climbing over the mountain to Dongling."

After a long time, Chu Yunning chose the mountain road.

"You immediately prepare a group of people to go to the mountains with me and bring enough supplies."

Lieutenant General Li was surprised, but he had to be cautious for the emperor's safety, so he quickly summoned three thousand soldiers to go into the mountain together.

Before leaving, the heavy snow had not stopped. Chu Yunning asked everyone to tie a rope around their waist and hold a wooden stick in their hands. The team behind them walked along the footprints, changing the group of people leading the way every hour.

Vice General Li was shocked: "Chu Shanggong, how come you can think of everything?"

The person leading the way was the most tired, and the person behind was a little more relaxed. Chu Yunning glanced at Vice General Li: "I saw it in a book."

This is what the geese flying south do every year.

Just imitate.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and the snow is falling fast and hard. It is impossible to see the road clearly, so we can only rely on human power to explore little by little.

Looking at the total whiteness, Chu Yunning let out a long sigh. It would be really dangerous if he was really trapped inside, without food or fire.

I was so anxious that I didn't dare to stop for a moment, and continued to explore slowly. Fortunately, the snow finally stopped after two hours.

From day to night, we covered most of the mountain.

…

Emperor Mingwen sat in a cave, followed by dozens of soldiers. Even the fire could not be lit, and the surroundings were dark.

Everyone was leaning against the cave, cold and hungry.

The soldiers exploring the road had not returned yet, and their life and death were uncertain. He could not hold on any longer. Emperor Mingwen stood up and looked at the gray sky, and tied one hand around his waist.

"Your Majesty, we are trapped here. If no one rescues us, I'm afraid..."

"It's already dark today, and everyone is tired from the journey. I'll let everyone rest today and start our journey again early tomorrow morning."

Heavy snow has blocked the mountain, making it difficult to move even an inch, and ordinary people cannot enter at all.

Emperor Mingwen was also worried about how Chu Yunning was doing now.

"Your Majesty, are there fireflies there?" The guards around him pointed at the fireflies not far away. Someone panicked and said, "Could it be wild wolves? The heavy snow has stopped, and they happened to be out looking for food.

when."

"If it's wild wolves, just one or two will be enough. If we encounter a pack of wolves, I'm afraid it will be a bit tricky."

Some people are eager to try it: "It's just the right time to come. Drink wolf blood and eat wolf meat to replenish your physical strength."

"It's not a pack of wolves, someone is coming to find us!" Someone with sharp eyes recognized that it was a torch, not a pack of wolves.

Everyone stood up in disbelief and gathered around the entrance of the cave. As the people got closer and closer, everyone recognized the team from the military camp.

"It's Chu Shanggong!"

Emperor Mingwen looked at the petite woman in the crowd with some shock, half of her face exposed, her eyebrows almost blocked by the snow.

"It's really Chu Shang Palace!"

Everyone cheered and jumped, and when they saw Chu Yunning, they rushed forward to greet him as if they had seen a god coming.

After a while, Chu Yunning came to the front out of breath. Emperor Mingwen stared at her with blazing eyes: "Aning, you are here."

Chu Yunning nodded and handed Emperor Mingwen clean dry food and water from his arms.

The rest of the people also received corresponding supplies and were spiritually encouraged. A fire rose in the cave and became warm.

Emperor Mingwen took Chu Yunning and sat on a clean stone aside.

"Has the Emperor met Miss Shen Bi?" Chu Yunning asked slightly uneasily, not sure if Shen Bi would say anything to the Emperor.

Emperor Mingwen nodded: "She said something that I couldn't understand, and her tone sounded as if I had some terminal illness."

Hearing this, Chu Yunning's eyelids twitched fiercely.

"Aning, you never hide anything from me. Is there something that I don't know?" Emperor Mingwen stared at Chu Yunning's eyes, as if he wanted to see some clues from them.

Chu Yunning was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Does the Emperor believe in fate?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's just that for some people and things, the trajectory of this life is arranged, and they will arrange this trajectory step by step until they die."

This topic was a bit esoteric, but Emperor Mingwen understood it, shook his head and said: "Of course I don't believe it, it's just a gimmick. Who can predict a person's life that has not yet begun? Aning, are you confused?"

?”

Chu Yunning pursed her lips tightly: "The existence of some people in the future is already a foregone conclusion. They know the ending of people in the past..."

"A Ning?" Emperor Mingwen stared at Chu Yunning closely: "Then do you believe it?"

Chu Yunning was speechless. She came from modern times and must have believed that history could not be changed. But when she saw Emperor Mingwen's expectant eyes, she could not tell such a cruel fact, so she said: "

There are no absolutes in things, and there may be deviations.”

"Aning, no matter what happens in the future, I..." Emperor Mingwen swallowed nervously, and then swallowed his words: "That's all, let's wait until the war is over and return to Beijing."

The longer he stayed with Chu Yunning, the deeper he got into it. He was worried that Chu Yunning would leave him and only want to go to the fiefdom.

If two people separate, they will never have a chance in this life.
