The father and daughter of Nangong Lizhu and Nangong Jinhong were clearly reunited yesterday, but they seemed to have not had a good time. In this way, there should be some differences. In the disagreement, I was mentioned?

Shouldn't they deal with me with one mind? Why do they have differences?

Looking at my frowning brows, the word "Sichuan" frowned. Xiao Fuzi kept standing next to me quietly, and at this time she seemed a little puzzled: "Sir?"

“…”

"Isn't this good?"

“…”

I didn't know that I should answer him for a while.???

In my opinion, Nangong and his daughter are my opponents. If they have any differences, they will naturally be beneficial to me. But for some reason, since I saw Nangong Jinhong by the carriage before leaving the palace last time, I heard what he said, and the attack on me and Pei Yuanhao in the carriage, and the various signs that Nangong Lizhu had no movement these days always made me feel inexplicably uneasy.

It seemed like I was a frog boiled in warm water.

I don’t know when the seemingly peaceful surroundings will boil, burn, and swallow me like a flame.

But I didn't know how to say all this, so I just smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing. Xiao Fuzi, thank you for your hard work."

"Sir, I'm so rude."

After saying that, he saluted me and was about to withdraw. As soon as he walked to the door, I saw his steps stagnant for a moment. It turned out that Shui Xiu walked in from outside.

As soon as the two met, Xiao Fuzi didn't say anything, but Shui Xiu's face froze for a moment. He immediately snorted with his nose, as if he didn't see the person in front of him, and strided past him in a meteor. He walked into the room and said loudly: "Sir, I'm back."

I looked at these two young people and didn't know how to persuade them or what to persuade them.

So I could only say perfunctorily: "Oh, where have you been? Madam just looked for you everywhere--"

"I just went to Du Yan!"

Xiao Fuzi was about to leave with his head down, but when he heard this, his steps stopped again, but he did not turn around and stood at the door stiffly.

I was also stunned: "Ah?"

Shui Xiu didn't care whether I asked or not and said loudly: "Sir, no wonder I couldn't find him a while ago. It turned out that the emperor sent them out of the palace to have a task. Today he will come to see me as soon as he comes back."

“…”

I subconsciously looked at the door, and Xiao Fuzi's originally not tall back was slightly hunched.

"I originally wanted to return the things to him, but this time, I figured it out."

"Think through? What have you figured out?"

Shui Xiu glanced at the door with the corner of her eyes and said loudly: "I just take it with me, I'll take care of what others do so much."

"Shuixiu..."

I frowned and was about to say something when I saw Xiao Fuzi leaving without looking back.

At this time, I was also helpless: "Shui Xiu, how could you say so in front of Xiao Fuzi."

The girl was still angry. She looked back at the back that disappeared from the gate and bit her lower lip: "Didn't the adult tell me that I can't do it with him?"

"That's right, but you shouldn't."

"..." Shui Xiu turned her face in anger and refused to speak.

I still said patiently: "Shui Xiu, even if you and Xiao Fuzi are not good, don't become enemies."

Shui Xiu gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, if he treats me like this, I will be his enemy."

"you--"

Maybe in my eyes, Shui Xiu has always been the impulsive and playful girl who whispers every day. I even only regard her as a child until Du Yan gave her the chain, which made me realize that she is not a child, she is also a girl who can love and accept other people's feelings.

The people in this palace are too lonely to guard the towering walls around them. The palace maids and eunuchs will also have food in private. I believe these two children do not have any behavior beyond the rules, but what about the heart?

After so many years, even we were trapped in the cold palace, Xiao Fuzi never left him. Maybe he is a better partner than a normal man, even a higher position and a higher power.

But is this really good for Shuixiu?

Looking at her pale and stubborn face, I couldn't speak for a moment. At this time, Madam Wu had already walked in with hot soup. When she saw Shui Xiu, she changed her face. I was worried that she would curse, so I hurriedly asked for a conversation: "By the way, you just said that Du Yan and the others had a task to leave the palace. What are they doing?"

Shui Xiu didn't seem to want to mention that person more, and said with a cold face: "That person, I don't even have a few words to ask him."

"oh……"

"But I heard that it seems like I went to the south."

"Oh?" My spirit was shaking: "The Emperor sent them south?"

Seeing me like this, Shui Xiucai became a little serious, as if he realized something, and said, "Sir--"

I hurriedly said, "Did you say where did you go?"

"I heard that it's from Yangzhou."

"do what?"

"I heard that I want to cross the river."

"Cross the river?"

I seemed to feel something - crossing the river. As early as when we were still in the Juma River Valley, the southern offensive forces had already built a naval camp on the south bank of the Yangtze River. They were obviously preparing for the future war. Pei Yuanhao cut off their military service. Why would he suddenly send people south to cross the river?

Shui Xiu seemed to realize something at this time. While recalling it hard, she murmured: "I seem...it seems to vaguely hear them saying that they are going to cross the river and find someone--ah!"

She suddenly reacted: "Sir!"

I sat there without opening my mouth, but my hands on the table trembled uncontrollably, knocking over the bowl of hot soup that Madam Wu had just put on her hand.

There was a clang in the room, but the sound was not loud, but it was a bit amazing.

Madam Wu and Shui Xiu were both shocked and hurriedly came up to clean up. Before I could retract my hand, I was poured on the back of my hand by the hot soup, and it was immediately burned red. Shui Xiu quickly picked up my hand, pulled me to the wooden rack and soaked in the cold water in the basin, and asked, "Sir, is it okay? Does it hurt?"

I seemed to have no sense at all and just stood silently.

Madam Wu quickly packed up the other side, and then came over and saw that a slight blister had burnt on the back of my hand, and a large area of ​​skin became red and swollen. She looked around and couldn't find a handy tool, so she took me to their room, took out a needle from the sewing box and passed it over the fire, carefully picked up the water, and carefully bandaged it with gauze.

They did all this, but I seemed to have no reaction. I only jumped in my chest, as if it was about to burst open.

Go south, cross the river, find someone...

Li Er...

Li Er!

She is now in the south of the Yangtze River, behind the vast water army camp, the other end of the vast Yangtze River!

No wonder Shui Xiu said that she could not find Du Yan these days; no wonder Pei Yuanhao never came to find me again these days, it turned out...

Li'er, he told me last time that he had a clue about Li'er, and this time he was going to find her!

Thinking of this, I looked up at Shui Xiu, thinking that I was calm, but as soon as I opened my mouth, my voice was already trembling: "Then, did he say they found it?"

Shui Xiu was stunned for a moment and stammered: "He, he didn't say anything."

“…”

"I...I didn't think so much, I-I originally had nothing to say to him..."

“…”

"Sir, it's my fault..."

"fine."

This time, I calmed down first.

Du Yan was taciturn, and Pei Yuanhao didn't even reveal the news of sending them to the south. Of course, he didn't plan to let others know about this matter. Even if Shui Xiu really asked, he would definitely not say much; but if he really found it, the news shouldn't have been mentioned to me by Shui Xiu inadvertently.

Thinking of this, my head, which was a little hot just now, also cooled down.

Although Madam Wu never said anything, she had known the reason for it for a long time. Looking at my somewhat gloomy face, she said softly: "Sir, go back and rest first. I will bring you a bowl of hot soup."

I had no appetite at this time, but after she said that, I could only be helped by them and walked back. As soon as I entered the door, I felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right.

Still Shui Xiu's eyes were sharp-eyed. When she saw it inside, she was so scared that she knelt down: "Master!"

I was shocked, and as soon as I looked up, I saw Pei Yuanhao leaning against the bed.

There was no light in the room. His face was not very good under the dim light. His deep tired expression was almost spreading into the cold air. He raised his head and looked at us, and waved his hand: "Go down."

The two of them looked at each other and both obediently retreated. Madam Wu also closed the door.

Usually, I don’t like to be alone with him in the same room, but today I am different. My heart that always jumps out of my chest almost at this moment. I stood at the door for a while and almost wanted to step over, when I saw him raise his hand and wave to me: “Come here.”

I walked in front of him step by step.

As soon as I approached, I could feel the heavy breath on his body, which made my breath tense up. He sat by the bed, supported his hands on his knees, and raised his head to look at me: "I haven't seen you these days, thank you for your hard work."

Thank you...I'm here.

I heard this sentence and my heart trembled.

I don’t know what he is referring to as hard work, and I can’t think about it at this time. I have only one person in my whole body.

Thinking of this, I finally spoke: "Your Majesty, Li'er..."

Before he finished speaking, his hands reached over and held my hands.
To be continued...
