Qin Shaoqing didn't know how to reply.
Seeing with his own eyes that the emperor was worried about a woman, even risking his life, Xuanyuan Ye like this was unfamiliar to him.
Xuanyuan Ye certainly didn't intend to let Qin Shaoqing say anything.
At the critical moment that day, he urged An Yi to take Jiang Tian away. Naturally, he expected that they would not return to the palace.
The emperor was assassinated, and everyone in the palace was questioned one by one.
A princess from the southern country was actually brought here by the emperor, which was of profound significance.
An Yi must have taken her to hide somewhere else. ?.?????.???
Half a month has passed, and he has already told the secret guards that if Jiang Tian comes back, they should not hinder her and bring her directly to him.
But no one.
Xuanyuan Ye had long expected that when he let Jiang Tian go that night, he actually put two paths in front of Jiang Tian and forced her to make a choice.
What will she choose?
Xuanyuan Ye couldn't guess.
If she really wanted to escape through this time, he would have expected it.
But Xuanyuan Ye couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Three more days passed. On this day, Xuanyuan Ye woke up feeling very upset.
Last night he dreamed of Jiang Tian. She was like a bird, leaving here and going to a wider world.
He was in pain and torture in his dream, but she never looked back.
Xuanyuan Ye didn't want to let go of Jiang Tian.
Nowadays, all countries are not at peace, and the arrogance of the Southern Kingdom is about to spread to Zhao Kingdom. It would be too dangerous to let her, a weak woman, and a secret guard wander in the world.
He made up his mind, if Jiang Tian hated him, then hate him.
He had to send someone to get her back.
But before the idea was implemented, as soon as he opened his eyes, his eyes fell on the hand that was waiting for him to drink water and holding the teacup.
He had played with this hand countless times.
White and tender, cut like a green onion.
His heart stopped for a beat, and he suddenly raised his head and saw the woman who had fascinated him.
She stood right in front of him.
Black sideburns, delicate and picturesque eyebrows, and expression still as calm as ever.
Xuanyuan Ye stared at her blankly for a long time without saying anything, but just held her in his arms.
The familiar temperature and aroma made an empty place in his heart feel full again.
"...You're actually back."
Xuanyuan Ye didn't know what to say.
She could have run away, and he guessed she would.
But she didn't, she came back.
Jiang Tian was still dressed as a palace maid, just like usual.
But Xuanyuan Ye didn't want to let go for a moment.
"If I don't come back, won't the Emperor go looking for me?"
Jiang Tian asked this sentence in a calm tone.
Xuanyuan Ye looked at her: "The situation in the world is unclear, and I will not make fun of your life."
Then, he murmured again: "I have also thought about what I would do if you really don't want to go back."
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. I will come back. If you hadn't blocked that knife for me, I would have definitely left when I had the chance. After all, you protected me in the palace and I gave myself to you. You and I don't get along with each other." owe."
"But you just happened to sacrifice your life for me. I'm not an ungrateful person, so how can I give it up?"
Xuanyuan Ye keenly noticed that Jiang Tian at this time was much more deserted than before.
Obviously he saved her life, but the distance between the two people suddenly became wider.
He had long known that this woman's obedience was all pretending, but now, she didn't even want to pretend.
"...Are you blaming me?"
Xuanyuan Ye's voice was hoarse.
Jiang Tian looked at him calmly: "I don't blame you, but life in this world is high or low. Please don't do this kind of thing for me again."
"I can't afford it."
After hearing her words, Xuanyuan Ye felt a sudden pain in his heart.
He originally thought that Jiang Tian would be relieved for a moment because of his efforts, but he didn't expect that it would actually become a burden to her.
He was speechless.
The room suddenly became silent.
Jiang Tian picked up the cup that he had just put down and handed it to his mouth: "Your Majesty, please use some water first."
Her expression was so cold and her eyes were just clear.
Xuanyuan Ye raised his cup in a daze and drank the water in one gulp.
He told himself in his heart that he couldn't rush.
Three feet of ice cannot be frozen in a day. The entanglement between the two of them is too deep and complicated, and he cannot mess up his future plans just because of a moment of anger.
This woman is a piece of ice, he has to cover her heart.
"How did you come back? Where have you been hiding during these days?"
Jiang Tian answered one by one: "That night, An Yi sent me to a village not far away to stay temporarily. We did not get any news of your assassination in the village, but there was no other bad news. It means your injury is stable."
"The area around the palace is strictly inspected. An Yi will visit every day. I'm afraid that my appearance will bring unnecessary trouble to your investigation, so I didn't come back to you until the day before yesterday."
Xuanyuan Ye was silent.
After a long time, he said: "What are you going to do next?"
"The emperor saved my life and covered me up in every possible way. Naturally, I want to take good care of him."
