This time, she didn't look back. Instead, she stopped and scratched her head.

"The grass didn't make me forget anything, but it made me experience everything from before. I saw my dying mother, saw the look in my father's eyes as he stood by the wall and stared at me, saw my brother's dagger that night on my neck, saw Xiao Rong, saw the bowl of porridge — but my heart was calm, calm as a shell." He Lan Xue stared at her back and continued, "My love, you want to leave me alone in the shell?"

His wife finally stopped scratching her head. She suddenly thought of something and looked towards the heavens. "He Lan Qin told me to tell you that Empress Xiao Rong is with him."

With that, she really did walk out.

There was no hesitation, no nostalgia, just like the other things she did — this was an extremely ordinary thing. In addition, it was supposed to be like this.

This tree did not need her fertilizer to grow.

It was so strong that it covered the sky and covered the ground. The tree was covered in shadow, and there was no corner for her.

He Lan Xue was momentarily stunned. Her figure had already disappeared from her field of vision.

Outside of the shaft, Feng Jiu was playing with the leftover tea leaves on the bottom of the cup with extreme concentration. Seeing the thin leaves curl up and shrink down, he once again opened it up with his fingers, enjoying himself.

Yi Jian stood to the side and did not interrupt. Instead, he carefully observed his surroundings for any signs of safety.

When Pei Linpu arrived at Lu Chuan, he retreated in time. Now, he was nowhere to be seen. Even Yi Jian did not know where he was.

Thus, he had to be careful.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Feng Jiu raised his head. When he saw his wife, he faintly smiled and asked, "Empress, is the prince awake?"

"Ugh, I woke up." "Yes," the woman answered honestly, not stopping.

Feng Jiu felt that it was a bit strange, so he asked again, "Does the Empress want to go somewhere?"

Her steps immediately halted.

Yes, where to?

She looked at Feng Jiu, then looked at her surroundings, her face at a loss. All she could see was a strange people and things, a strange world, a strange scene.

At one point, she had thought there was a rose, but now she felt empty.

Where to?

"The world is not peaceful these days. Even if the Empress and the Prince are unhappy, there is no need to rush to leave. The Empress is still much safer with us." Although Feng Jiu could not figure out the situation, his intuition knew that there was something she and He Lan Xue did not agree on.

Feng Jiu originally didn't understand his wife very well, but now that he saw her expression, he thought it was a little girl acting coquettishly and shamelessly.

She pinched her fingers and lowered her head in thought.

It was as if Feng Jiu had moved him.

Feng Jiu slightly relaxed and signaled Yi Jian to go in, then he inquired about the whole story of He Lan Xue.

However, her lover did not think about Feng Jiu's words. When she decided to leave, she did not want to stay for even a moment. She did not have the slightest intention of forcing herself to stay.

She was just thinking — what should she do?

Finally, she thought of Eleven. She thought of marrying into the Brotherhood, and it seemed that it would be able to support her Eleven.

Her lover jumped up once more and stepped out with great vigor.

Life truly was turning for the better everywhere.

Her lover never knew how to write the word despair.

Feng Jiu was secretly glad that his lover had walked out again, but he could not stop him. He could only look strangely at his lover's swaying back while he waited for Yi Jian to emerge from the shafts.

"Mister Feng, quickly enter. The prince is vomiting blood." Not long after, Yi Jian hurriedly walked out from the shaft and shouted.

Feng Jiu's expression changed. Without caring about anything else, he quickly walked towards Xing Yi.

He saw He Lan Xue panting on the bed. There was a pool of dark red blood on the floor. It was shocking.

"Prince …" Feng Jiu took three steps to his side and reached out his hand to take his pulse.

"Is she gone?" He Lan Xue didn't ask about her situation but asked about her anxiously.

"This subordinate will pursue the Empress and bring her back." Yi Jian was stunned for a moment, then gave a simple bow, saying resolutely, "Even if it's a strong one, he will make the Empress stay."

He Lan Xue didn't speak again. He was too weak to say a word.

Yi Jian looked worriedly at his prince's pale face, then at Feng Jiu with his gaze, before leaving.

When Yi Jian left, Feng Jiu's face sank. His warm and smiling eyes became incomparably sharp and full of reproach. He stared at He Lan Xue and asked: "Prince, why did you do this?"

When Yi Jian left, Feng Jiu's face sank. His warm and smiling eyes became incomparably sharp and full of reproach. He stared at He Lan Xue and asked: "Prince, why did you do this?"

He Lan Xue forced a smile. After gasping for air for a long time, she sighed and said, "You found me."

Feng Jiu stared at him for a long time, the anger in his eyes gradually returning to calmness.

"You didn't have to do that." Feng Jiu said in a shallow voice, "For those who don't want to remember, it is fine to forget. Why use such a fierce medicine? You would rather hurt yourself, but you should still remember it so clearly."

Eating the Forgotten Grass, even if it wouldn't cause him to lose his memories, he should also forget about the things that he didn't want to remember.

However, Heran Xue didn't forget anything.

When he was still unconscious, he had taken the medicine himself — the side effects of that medicine were extremely great. This was also the reason why Feng Jiu refused to let him take it. It was too risky and too irresponsible for him.

"Why bother remembering those things?" Feng Jiu continued, "To be able to forget is the dream of who knows how many people."

"I can't forget." He Lan Xue lowered her eyes, and said lightly but firmly, "There are many things that I am responsible for. If I avoid it, it will also be avoiding my responsibility. Mister Feng, I am very sorry for making things difficult for you. "

Feng Jiu let out a faint sigh.

After a while, he said in a low voice, "Don't get angry, and don't fight with anyone for the next half month. Let's see if I can find any herbs to neutralize the poison."

"Thank you, sir." He Lan Xue nodded, her face turning paler.

"Just now …" After waiting for a while, Feng Jiu thought of that strange lover and lightly asked, "Is the Empress angry with you because of what happened afterwards?"

He Lan Xue shook her head and said with a wry smile, "She's not someone who would be angry — it's just that I've let her down."

Before He Lan Xue's voice could fade, one of Yi Jian's guards ran in gasping for breath. Seeing He Lan Xue, he knelt down and said, "Your Royal Highness, Prime Minister Pei has trapped Lord Yi!"

When Pei returned to his side, Pei's face was already black with rage.

"Why are you stopping the Tiger Tally?" He asked his once proud son in a low voice, "Do you know that once we obtain the Tiger Tally, we can prove to His Majesty that He Lan has the heart to help He Lan Xue? When He Lan Qin falls, Xiahou will no longer be able to fight back, and the Pei Family's position will forever be secure —"

Pei Ruochen did not explain, but drew back her eyebrows and put her hands together, standing respectfully by the side.

"Is it because of that girl?" Pei Liping's eyebrows shot up and the anger he had suppressed earlier flared up once again, "Because of her and Princess Lu, you've gotten so out of hand. This time you've even given her the chance to attack He Lan Qin. You …" "Even if the young are so angry that they rush to be a beauty, at the very least, the other party should be a beauty!" Pausing, Pei Linpu then inexplicably added, "If she was such a stunning beauty like Madam Xi, even if you gave up on her, it would still be worth it. "But, what does my lover count as?!"

Pausing, Pei Linpu then inexplicably added, "If she was such a stunning beauty like Madam Xi, even if you gave up on her, it would still be worth it. "But, what does my lover count as?!"

Pei Ruochen raised her head and looked at her father in surprise.

Pei Ruochen had heard many rumours about his father betraying his wife, but he had never dared to ask about his father in person, and he had never mentioned it.

In the Pei household, the words' Madam Xi 'were forbidden from being mentioned.

He had never expected that his father would bring up this name in such a casual manner under such circumstances, at this moment, at this moment.

Furthermore, when he mentioned her, his tone and attitude were not as calm and objective as they seemed to be.

He almost worshipped her.

As the publicly acknowledged 'traitor' of the Xi Family, Pei Linpu actually revered his master, who had been betrayed by him.

Pei Ruochen's heart skipped a beat, as if she knew something, but she seemed to have no idea what it was.

Pei seemed to have noticed his slip of the tongue and was silent for a moment. Then, with a serious expression, he asked, "Ruochen, do you like that little girl?"

Pei Ruochen raised her gaze and replied flatly, "Yes, but the situation is not what father was thinking."

"Oh?" In the end, Pei Linpu was still the Prime Minister. It was only because he was facing his own son that he was so hot-tempered. He was not someone who would not listen to others.

"I like her, but I don't have any ill intentions towards her." Pei Ruochen calmly replied, "No matter what reason, once I marry He Lan Lu, I will be loyal to her for the rest of my life. As for her — I wanted to be good to her, too, but only out of friendship, out of the heart. "

Pelletier was silent. His dark eyes were sharp as swords as he looked at his son.

Under this gaze, everyone felt like they were being seen through. The timid ones were even a little scared.

Pei Ruochen looked back at Pei Linfeng calmly, "I will not give up anything for my beloved." "No," he said.

"How do you explain the matter of the Tiger Tally?" asked Pei Linpu, his gaze softening a little.

"The reason why I stopped the Tiger Tally was precisely for the Pei Family." Pei Ruochen unhurriedly explained, "Father often told me that the reason His Majesty had never really curtailed the power of the Rong family was because he needed the Rong family to restrain you. Then, why don't you understand that He Lan Qin is also a pawn used by His Majesty to restrain Xiahou? Since it was a chess piece, His Majesty definitely wouldn't allow anyone to easily take it away. Now that the strong enemies are in the wilderness, and there are signs of internal strife in Jiangnan due to the calamity, the Heavenly Court can't stop it. As an official, I am determined to help the country, so it's not appropriate for me to compete for power. "

Hearing Pei Ruochen's words, Pei Liping only let out a cold laugh. "Don't tell me that your father doesn't know of such a simple logic?"
