Chu Li's heart froze and his hand trembled." Your Majesty."
Chu Li did not finish his sentence, but he knew everything from Emperor Xuan Ming's gaze.
"Chu Li, I can only trust you now.”Emperor Xuan Ming said. He didn't explain it clearly, just letting the two of them understand.
Chu Li was a smart man. Emperor Xuan Ming must have made up his mind since he said so.
He didn't answer because he didn't know how to answer Emperor Xuan Ming's words.
Emperor Xuan Ming closed his eyes as if he was tired. He raised his hand and said," Alright, I'm tired, Chu Li. You may leave first." You have to take what I said today to heart.”
He didn't say anything else and bowed before leaving. Chu Li was filled with shock and confusion as he walked around the palace. When they reached the side door of the palace gate, a little palace maid walked out from the side door. She lowered her head and looked down from above.
Chu Li found her familiar, but he saw her bow gracefully. She said in a gentle voice," General, the Empress has invited you."”
He nodded slightly. The little palace maid understood and led him to the other side.
The melodious sound of a zither rang out in the distance, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. The tall trees in the palace had been repaired by the craftsmen to look beautiful and elegant. From the stairs, one could see a woman sitting among the flowers. Her black hair was loose, and she was wearing a flowy dress. She was playing the zither with her back facing the person who had come. Her slender jade-like fingers gently gathered on the zither.
The palace maids had already retreated. Chu Li's luggage was laughed at by Jie Shan." General, there's no one else around now. Do you still want to be so distant with me?”
Chu Li walked around the woman and walked over. Jie Shan looked up at Chu Li's figure. Chu Li smiled and lifted his robe before sitting down.
He met Jie Shan's gaze. Jie Shan said," Let's listen to a song first. Recently, the musicians have released a new song.”
The sound of the zither lingered in his ears like a clear spring flowing through his heart. Chu Li poured himself a cup of water and spoke softly while holding the cup with his fingers. "The Empress truly has the air of a country's mother now. She is actually able to remain calm in the face of everything before her.”
"Those who achieve great things should avoid being impetuous. You once said this.”Jie Shan used a hairpin to tie up her hair. At this moment, her entire body was emitting an indifferent aura. Time did not leave any traces on her peerless face, but it only made her more calm. She spoke slowly, but there was a sense of arrogance in her words that made people feel a sense of reverence. There was also a feeling that he could not underestimate him.
"So the Empress still remembers. However, I also said that success is due to this, and failure is also due to this.”Chu Li put down the cup in his hand.
Jie Shan gently raised her eyes and looked at the calm person opposite her. The soldier who had removed his military uniform had a natural and unrestrained calmness.
Jie Shan's hands slowed down a little and changed to another song after the song. "General, I don't know what the Emperor has just told you, but you should know about the current situation in the court. Ming Nan Wang's faction is secretly making friends and the Crown Prince's position is in danger. If the Emperor leaves one day and Ming Nan Wang forces the abdication, then not only will this Prince be in danger, but the Crown Prince will also be in danger.”She looked at Chu Li." I don't think you'll let this happen. Don't forget, we're on the same boat."”
Chu Li put down the teacup. The glass and jade were exquisite. His fingers gently tapped the teacup." Don't feed the Emperor those things for now."”
"Why?" Jie Shan's fingers paused on the zither strings for a moment.
"I have my own arrangements." Chu Li said. He stood up and looked at the woman who was playing the zither. "Jie Shan, Jie Shan, sometimes even I feel enlightened. Should I teach you Jie Shan or Yuhan? You are Yuhan or Jie Shan.”There was a tinge of regret in his tone." Sometimes, I also regret sending you here.”
Jie Shan smiled slightly. Her old friend was still there, still smiling in the spring breeze. It was just that he had changed a little. "Sometimes, I wonder how I should call you, brother. We must do this. There's nothing to regret."
He slowly walked over and placed his hand on Jie Shan's shoulder." However, it seems like it's about to end. Perhaps we can end it in a more perfect way.”
An image appeared in Chu Li's mind. A fiery color dyed the entire ground red. The lake water was split into a wall of water, and red lava surged out. It was like a purgatory. The flames engulfed the two figures, and the two swords wailed. Chu Li would never forget that scene.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you no matter what. You are the most important person to me." Chu Li said. His words had calmed Jie Shan down.
Jie Shan smiled, a smile as bright as a young girl's. She continued to play the zither. The two of them understood those memories.
After living here for so many years, she had almost forgotten that she was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. When she first walked through this door, she understood everything. She had to live like this.
Chu Li only listened to the zither quietly. The sound of the zither became sorrowful and carried some anger and hatred. Chu Li smiled and said," It seems like you're still not calm enough." Just wait, the time is almost up."
