Ximu looked at Tao Le quietly, his eyes were far away and deep, and he didn't speak for a long time.
The atmosphere in the room was quite solemn, a bit like before a storm was coming.
Tao Le felt a little aggrieved inexplicably.
Over the years, she had become accustomed to Simu's gentle care, and she had almost forgotten that His Highness had another face.
She simply stood up and said, "That's the way it is. If you just feel like you can't accept it, then there's nothing I can do about it."
Ximu was unmoved when he heard the words, and remained silent as before, but there was a golden glint in his eyes.
Tao Le felt a little depressed. Although she was wrong to keep hiding the truth, she died at the hands of the Mio people in her previous life. She should be the one who harbored a grudge against her.
Not to mention, she saved Ximu and his men in this life, and even gave him children. If he is still petty and fussy with her, then she is not a temperless person!
Thinking of this, Tao Le became hardened in a rare way: "I have something to go out tonight, so you can take care of the child."
She didn't lie. Wei Changhuan had indeed just made an appointment with Ximu to discuss something important, but she hadn't had time to tell Ximu yet.
As soon as she walked to the door full of resentment, she found that the door closed with a bang.
She turned around suddenly and met Xi Mu's suddenly enlarged face.
Being hugged tightly by him, the little flame in Tao Le's heart immediately disappeared by more than half.
"Aren't you angry with me and don't want to talk to me?" She asked: "Then I left voluntarily and out of your sight, so why did you stop me?"
Ximu sighed quietly and buried his head in her hair:
"Lele." He said, "I'm not angry with you, I'm just a little heartbroken and a little disappointed."
"My heartache is for the despair and pain you suffered in your previous life, and even more so for the fact that you have been silently moving forward under pressure all these years."
He grabbed Tao Le's hand and placed it on his heart. The beating there was very fast and very fast, which was indeed different from usual.
"And part of my disappointment is indeed directed at you." Simu said, "I didn't understand until today that you have always been wary of me."
"Amu." Tao Le heard the disappointment in his tone, raised his head and looked directly into his eyes:
"It was all a long time ago. At that time, I didn't know you well enough, and I had past life experiences, so it was inevitable that I would have preconceived ideas."
"I know." Simu said, "So it's more of a disappointment to myself."
"It's because I didn't do a good enough job that you can't trust me wholeheartedly."
"And that wasted year made me feel ashamed and unable to defend myself."
Tao Le stretched out her arms and gently hooked his neck: "So Amu, what are you going to do now? Are you going to argue with me because of these old things, or are you going to simply forget these past things and just be like before?"
Simu reached out his hand and gently brushed her forehead: "I won't even choose."
Tao Le was stunned when he heard his words:
"The experience of that life really happened to you, how could I turn a blind eye to it?"
Simu's kiss fell gently on her forehead, with a slight kiss, full of careful cherishment.
"Although it was those experiences that brought us together, if we could turn back time, I would rather die ten times than let you leave such painful memories."
"Amu." Tao Le was a little confused by his kiss: "Wait a minute, I'm telling you this to explain..."
The clouds gather and the rain falls. Tao Le lay lazily in Ximu's arms, listening to him talk about the situation of the Mio Empire.
"The empire rewards military merits generously, and correspondingly, the punishments for dereliction of duty are also extremely harsh."
"As my bodyguards, Anhong and the other two have a transcendent status and great responsibilities. No matter why I die for any reason, they will be punished by the clan for their inability to protect themselves."
When he said this, he glanced at Tao Le, who was still a little confused, and did not explain to her in detail how cruel this punishment was.
"Lele. I am not saying this to defend the three Anhong people in the previous life. I just want to tell you that in that situation, they will fight desperately for revenge for me, themselves and the lives of their tribe. .”
"I can probably understand." Tao Le sighed: "Actually, I have figured it out over the years. The Mio people are not inherently cruel and ruthless, but your identity is too important. In the final analysis, the positions are still different. "
"But now, we are standing together." Simu said, stroking her smooth long hair.
"By the way," Tao Le suddenly remembered something: "I remembered that the commander-in-chief of the Miao Army at that time was An Hong, but above him, there was a prince."
"His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't appear many times, but An Hong and Mo Liu are all respectful to him."
Ximu couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
"Prince?" he said: "Before I left, there were only three princes in the empire, all of whom were my uncles and great-uncles."
"They have always had little interest in military affairs, and they don't seem like people who would send an army to an expedition to avenge me."
"I can probably still remember the appearance of that prince." Tao Le said, put on his clothes and got out of bed, found a pen and paper and drew a sketch.
Over the years, she used her free time to learn many practical skills from Xuan Yi in space, including painting.
Although it was done casually at this moment, it was still vivid and expressive, allowing Simu to recognize it at a glance.
"Sit?" He asked in surprise: "When was he named a prince?"
But the next moment, he reacted.
After the news of his death was sent back to the empire by An Hong and others, the country could not live without reserves for a day, so it was only natural that his brother Site, as the heir, would be named the prince of the empire and wait for his succession.
But before that, he personally led the army to go out, crossed the black hole to avenge himself, and he would also win over the hearts of the soldiers and the people.
"Who is this Xi Te?" Tao Le asked, seeing Xi Mu's expression changing.
"It's my brother." Simu said, his face became serious: "Lele, I probably understand where the empire's problems lie."
Tao Le understood that at this time, he needed to think more calmly, and it would be useless to ask more questions.
"No matter what happens over there, I will go with you." Tao Le said, "Believe me, I will only be your help and not a burden."
"Okay." Simu responded: "I promise you."
At this time, Tao Le's communicator suddenly lit up.
She looked down and immediately jumped up: "Oops, I forgot Wei Changhuan's date!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the bedroom immediately dropped several degrees.
A cold voice sounded at the right time: "Wei Changhuan? Did you just say that you had a date with him?"
"It's not what you think!" Tao Le quickly defended: "He invited us to have supper together because of official business, but I haven't had time to say anything yet."
"Really?" Ximu pulled Tao Le back to the bed, put his arms on the side of her head, and looked directly into her eyes:
"How do I remember that you just said that you had something to go out at night, and you had no intention of taking me with you?"
