He waved his hands and asked Qingyuan and Luruan, who came to wipe Xia Qiulian's body, to step back, and Yan Wanting took a clean and soft handkerchief and wet it in the copper basin.

Then half-kneeling by the side of the bed, she untied Xia Qiulian's snow-white coat, and gently wiped Xia Qiulian's snow-white and soft skin with the wet handkerchief.

Yan Wanting gently and carefully wiped Xia Qiulian's body clean.

Although this matter looks easy, it is a cumbersome and meticulous matter. In the past, when she was not around, Qingyuan and Lvruan would help Xia Qiulian wipe her body every day.

But as long as she is in the palace, she will do it herself, without bothering her. After helping Xia Qiulian wipe her body clean, Yan Banting's forehead is covered with sweat.

Asking people to clean up all the veils and copper basins, Yan Wanting climbed onto the bed.lily,.

It happened to be noon at this time, and in the past Yan Wanting would take a nap in Jingling Palace or his own residence.

Yan Banting lay beside Xia Qiulian with her forehead propped on her side, her eyes seemed to be glued to Xia Qiulian's face, and her eyes swept across every inch of her face obsessively.

Xia Qiulian's fair and delicate face was a little more bloody than the morbid paleness before, her breathing was gentle and long, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly with her breathing.

It was as if he was just asleep and never woke up.

Yan Wanting couldn't help stretching out his hand, gently caressed her cheek with his fingertips, stroked her eyebrows, her nose, and then landed on her lips.

"I came today to say goodbye to you."

Sighing softly, Yan Wanting stroked Xia Qiulian's slightly pale thin lips, his eyes were a little dazed.

"I was thinking in my heart, when I leave tomorrow and come back, I can see you waking up, I can see you sitting in front of the hall playing the piano, I can see you reading a book in the study with a lamp on at night, I can see you alone Sitting in front of the chessboard and meditating. Can see you...waiting for my return."

"I know this is just my delusion. If you really wake up, if I really come back, you probably want to raise your sword and kill me because of hatred."

Yan Wanting smiled wryly, and then continued.

"Perhaps you will think that I am an ambitious wolf. What I do now is no different from what Jiang Xunyan did back then. But for some reason, I have changed a lot once I went to the battlefield. I saw the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood with my own eyes, and I saw the displaced people with my own eyes. I saw with my own eyes that homeless women and children jumped into the river with their children and committed suicide, and I saw with my own eyes that a city that was still prosperous yesterday was burned to ruins overnight."

"Once a war breaks out, no one can escape. Lian'er, do you know that the world is never as peaceful as we thought? Yan Guo and Jiang Guo fight on the border several times a year, not to mention the dead and injured soldiers. It is said that there are not a few people who have been implicated."

Yan Wanting's originally soft voice sank little by little, and then his eyes became firmer.

"Chen Kingdom and Zhou Kingdom have never stopped fighting in these years. For the sake of the territory, for the so-called old enemies, and for those countless small border countries, the kings of the country have changed one after another. The wars, big and small, have never stopped. There have never been fewer people suffering."

The more he spoke, the brighter Yan Wanting's eyes lit up, like a spark that just fell on the withered grass, instantly igniting a raging fire.

Even her voice raised a little inadvertently, it was the frenzy and trembling that she didn't hear.

"In this case, why maintain the peace on the surface, why not break it and then establish it. To break these false peace, chaos will make it completely chaotic. This world needs unification. Think about it, Lian'er, there will be no such thing in the future." What is the distinction between Yan people and Jiang people, a unified language, a unified currency, and a unified measurement unit, all people in the world are people of one country.”

The sudden utterance of the words that had been kept in his heart these days made Yan Wanting feel as if he had been reborn, and the hatred and disgust he had towards Jiang Xunyan in the past seemed to have diminished a little because of this.

Or Jiang Xunyan back then thought like Yan Banting now, that's why he did that, he should have succeeded in the first place.

But God favored Yan Wanting and gave her a chance to live again, which not only disrupted his plan, but also gave him a lot of mess to clean up, and now he has to repeat what Jiang Guo did to Yan before rebirth.

After Yan Wanting finished speaking, the fiery light in her dark eyes gradually dimmed. She watched Xia Qiulian bury her head in her neck, sniffed the fragrance of her body, sighed softly, and said dully.

"Lian'er, let me tell you these words. I only hope that you can hear what I said. In the future...we will face each other in the future. Even if you hate me, you can hate me less."

The person who could only lie down didn't seem to be aware of her complicated thoughts at this time, but fell asleep with a peaceful and motionless face.

Inside the Yunshen Palace, Ye Zhaoyin was lying on the soft bed in the courtyard in front of the bedroom, holding a round fan with a picture of a lady in his hand, fanning the wind every time, and the personal maid Cui Liu who was serving her was sitting next to her. Standing aside with a bowl of iced plum juice.

Glancing at the sweet and sour iced plum juice in her hand to relieve the summer heat, Cui Liu sighed, this iced plum juice is almost out of ice and still doesn’t drink, her mother used to love iced plum juice the most in the summer, If she hadn't stopped her sometimes, the empress might have had too much to drink and suffer from a cold and abdominal pain.

Cui Liu bent down and coaxed Ye Zhaoyin softly.

"Your Majesty, if you don't drink this iced sour plum soup, it will turn into warm sour plum soup."

Ye Zhaoyin's pretty face was lifeless, she was not as lively as before, even her words were laziness.

"I don't even have the heart to drink this. The army that will go to Jiang's country tomorrow is about to leave."

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Ye Zhaoyin's tone, Cui Liu quickly looked around cleverly, and was relieved to see no one around, and softly comforted her.

"Niang Niang, don't think so much, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you in this palace now."

Ye Zhaoyin frowned and wanted to get angry when the round fan she held in her hand slapped, but she remembered something and had to hold back the anger in her heart, and said indignantly.

"Just stare, and let them all come to Bengong and stare openly."

Just because she is from the Jiang Kingdom, those people who dislike her usually send people to watch her at the gate of the palace all day long, for fear of missing a word she said casually out of anger, and turn to expose her.

Cui Liu's tone of voice to Ye Zhaoyin sounded like coaxing a child.

"Your Majesty, calm down, you are already in the palace and you can live happily. This is what you said before, and we can't take care of the outside affairs."

Ye Zhaoyin naturally knew that not only could she not control anything, but now she had to be cautious in her words and deeds so as not to be caught by others, but she was still unhappy and resentful in her heart.

"If you can't control it, of course you can't control it, but I am very flustered in my heart. Jiang Guo is my home country after all."

After a long sigh, Ye Zhaoyin supported her forehead and moved on the slump, feeling comfortable all over her body, fortunately she stood up and took the sour plum juice in Cui Liu's hand, and drank it proudly.

"Your Majesty, please drink slowly, if this appearance is seen by others..."

Ye Zhaoyin drank the sour plum soup like a cow's drink, but felt that the anger in his heart seemed to be quenched a little, and threw the empty white jade bowl back to Cuiliu.

"Okay, okay, I'm not happy right now, and I'm still pretending to be gentle, I'll see it when I see it, is it possible that they will criticize me for drinking soup?"

Ye Zhaoyin was losing her temper when a handsome young lady walked into the palace. She was holding a cloud silk cloth in her hand, and she turned her head to look out as she walked.

Ye Zhaoyin caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of her eye, and frowned dissatisfiedly.

"Cuizhu, what are you looking around for? You don't bother to talk to those people outside the door, let them be here."

Cuizhu walked over with the cloth in his hands, pouted and kept looking back.

"No, ma'am, Vice Commander Li is outside the door."

Ye Zhaoyin twitched her eyebrows lightly, dropped the round fan in her hand, and her tone became a bit colder.

"Li Fengyou, what is she doing outside? Could it be that she is also here to keep an eye on Ben Gong, to see if Ben Gong is doing something carefully?"

Cuizhu shook her head, and walked to Ye Zhaoyin's side with Yunsibu in her arms, with a helpless expression on her face.

"Your Majesty, everyone seems to be a bad person now. When I went out to Yusifang to pick up Yunsi today, I saw Deputy Commander Li standing on the edge of a rockery not far from the door. He was motionless and didn't know what he was doing. When I come back after an hour, where is she still, maybe she wants to see the empress."

Ye Zhaoyin snorted.

"Do you think you won't come in? What are you doing at the door?"

Green Bamboo and Green Willow looked at each other, they were both a little helpless, they were Ye Zhaoyin's most trusted personal maids, they took care of Ye Zhaoyin as soon as he entered the palace, honor and disgrace have long been tied together.

Ye Zhaoyin is also a good-natured master who never treats the servants as human beings like other masters, beat and scolded them, but took good care of both of them, they both sincerely care for Ye Zhaoyin.

Knowing that Ye Zhaoyin has always cared about Vice Commander Li, but now she is just sullen and hard-nosed, as long as she is given a pole, she will definitely climb up.

Cui Liu winked at Cui Zhu, Cui Zhu immediately understood, and shook her head worriedly.

"Your Majesty, you also know that it's the scorching heat right now, and the sun is like a furnace. The maidservant walks outside for a while, and her whole body becomes weak from the heat. However, Vice Commander Li is standing in a place without shade. For an hour, I don't know if I will suffer from heat stroke."

Sure enough, when Cuizhu said this, Ye Zhaoyin couldn't sit still, although there was still a cold look on his face, but his eyes and tone were already a little softer.

"That guy is really standing here under the sun, isn't she stupid?"

Cuizhu hit the railway while it was hot.

"Slaves don't dare to speculate on the big man's thoughts, why don't you go out and have a look."

Ye Zhaoyin bit her lip, she was obviously worried in her heart, but she just couldn't get rid of her face, she hesitated for a long time before snorting, said arrogantly.

"Alright, I want to see if Vice-Commander Li is out of his mind and standing stupidly under the sun at noon."

Seeing Ye Zhaoyin walking out in a hurry, Cui Zhu Cui Liu covered her lips and secretly smiled, their eyes were full of banter.

The empress's temperament is really cute and tight.
