After Nangong Yu left, Zhenliang didn't want to stay in Qiongyu Palace and wait for death. When no one noticed him, he quietly walked out of Qiongyu Palace and went straight to the palace gate.
At this moment, it seemed that she could feel at ease only by waiting on the road that Nangong Lie must pass when he returns to the palace.
If Nangong Lie is still angry with her, unwilling to help her, or even unwilling to see her, then she will stand on the road he must pass, making it inevitable for him to avoid her and see her even if he doesn't see her.
For some reason, Zhenliang knew that Nangong Yu's status in the Queen Mother's mind seemed to be higher, and her words seemed to carry more weight. However, even though Nangong Yu had promised to help her, she still couldn't really feel at ease.
It can be said that there is no need to worry too much about Yinye's safety for the time being.
After all, Nangong Yu is not the master of this palace. He can stop the Queen Mother for a while, but not for a long time. If the Queen Mother takes advantage of his departure and intensifies her attack on Yin Ye, how can Yin Ye, as an innocent weakling, bear it?
?
Even if Nangong Yu will be disappointed with the Queen Mother afterwards, so what? Will their mother-son bond disappear because of the Queen Mother's betrayal?
Therefore, Zhenliang felt that Nangong Yu did not have the ability to help Yin Ye clear the suspicion. The only person who could help Yin Ye clear the suspicion was Nangong Lie, besides Nangong Lie.
As long as Nangong Lie is willing to help her, even if no other suspects can be found, Nangong Lie is fully capable of saying one is one and two is two. No one dares to object, not even the Queen Mother.
This is the majesty of being the king of a country.
No matter what method Nangong Lie will take, no matter what results he will find out, what Zhenliang wants is just for him to declare her and Yin Ye's innocence and give them justice.
When they reached a turning point, Zhenliang chose to hide behind a tree and stood there waiting.
Looking at the palace gate not far away, Zhenliang had a lot of thoughts.
In fact, no matter what era a person lives in, only if she is strong enough can she be completely free from persecution.
In this world where you can use force to deal with people at will, she lacks the force to protect yourself, the preference and ability to be scheming. If you are not careful, you may fall into a tragic situation that will never be recovered.
Because she is not strong, or cannot be strong, as a weak person, she will place her hope on others to seek protection and reliance.
In the stable reality, she rarely looked at herself, and she once thought that the people she depended on mentally, besides her relatives, were her future lovers.
But now, she feels that her previous recognition is ridiculous. Nangong Lie is neither her relative nor her lover, but because he has power, he can still become the person she relies on.
Suddenly, another thought came to Zhenliang's mind. If the emperor of Daxin Kingdom was not Nangong Lie, but a bad old man, would her dependence on him still be as strong as it is now?
The answer is obviously very clear, but Zhenliang doesn't dare to think deeply about it, because the more he thinks about it, the more irritated he becomes, so it's better not to think about it.
After the people in Qiongyu Palace discovered that Zhenliang was missing, they did not dare to announce it everywhere and make it known to everyone. Instead, everyone went separately and searched quietly.
Finally, the little shadow appeared near where Zhenliang was. Because the tree trunk was thick, Zhenliang was not noticed by her. It was Zhenliang who discovered the little shadow and took the initiative to call him.
Little Shadow was overjoyed. After learning that Zhenliang just wanted to wait here for the emperor's return, he immediately went back and quietly informed everyone one by one. Everyone was relieved.
Zhenliang refused Xiaoying and others' request to wait with her, insisting on waiting alone.
She knew that if she stayed here alone, she might be in danger, or be tricked by others, or be captured by people sent by the Queen Mother. However, she knew better that even if someone accompanied her, she would still encounter what she should have encountered.
, so it was better for her to let nature take its course.
Behind the big tree at the corner of the road, only Zhenliang was hiding. Sometimes people entered the palace, and sometimes people left the palace. Even if there was a slight movement, Zhenliang would look at the palace gate with wide eyes.
I have been looking forward to it again and again, and been disappointed again and again, but Zhenliang knows that those who should come back will definitely come back.
The sky gradually darkened. Zhenliang, who was hiding behind the big tree, was already exhausted from standing up, and her legs were even softer and swollen. When she was about to squat down to rest, someone gently tapped her shoulder from behind.
.
Zhenliang turned around quickly, thinking that the person coming was from Qiongyu Palace, but who knew that it was Nangong Yu with a warm smile on his face.
"How do you know I'm here?" As soon as he said this, when Zhenliang saw the food box in Nangong Yu's hand, he immediately understood and said, "Did someone from Qiongyu Palace tell you?"
Nangong Yu joked, "I heard someone's stomach growling too loudly because of hunger, so I followed the sound."
Zhenliang laughed and said, "Nonsense, I'm not hungry at all."
At this time, it was already dinner time, and Zhenliang felt that his stomach was already filled with worry and anxiety, and there was no sign of hunger at all.
Nangong Yu pointed to the nearest palace and said, "I've already taken care of things there. You go in and have something to eat. I'll watch over here for you. Once the emperor enters the palace, I will definitely help you stop him."
Zhenliang shook his head and said, "I'm really not hungry."
"You have to eat on time even if you are not hungry, otherwise your body will not be able to hold on."
Zhenliang still shook his head, "Thank you, Third Prince, for your concern. I really have no appetite."
Nangong Yu coaxed patiently, "Then just stand here and eat some, and I'll hold it for you, okay?"
Zhenliang chuckled, "How dare I trouble the Third Prince to do hard labor? It's a sin."
Nangong Yu opened the lid of the food box and said with a smile, "It's my honor to be your coolie."
Zhenliang pressed the lid of the box on Nangong Yu's hand and closed the food box again. Still shaking his head stubbornly, he said, "Third Prince, when I get hungry, I will eat."
Zhenliang had expressed the same meaning more than three times, and Nangong Yu could not continue to advise her. He could only put the food box on the ground and accompany her silently.
After a while, Zhenliang looked at Nangong Yu and said, "Third Prince, please go back. I can wait alone."
Nangong Yu pointed at the increasingly bleak sky and said, "It's getting dark. Are you not afraid to stay here alone?"
For Silver Leaf, what else is there to be afraid of?
Zhenliang shook her head decisively.
Nangong Yu said to himself, "But I'm not worried."
Zhenliang looked at Nangong Yu, with a look of helplessness asking him to leave quickly. Nangong Yu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I'm not accompanying you, I just chose to wait for the emperor in this position like you. You don't have to
If you are not comfortable, you and I will do our own thing and have nothing to do with each other."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Yu took a step away, three steps away from Zhenliang, and stopped looking at her intently.
Zhenliang couldn't help but chuckle. No matter what, this Nangong Yu is still very cute. She just likes to get along with people who are simple-minded and doesn't have too much burden or scruples.
