The court meeting ended with the sighs of all the ministers and Concubine Duan being dragged away with a look of despair on her face.
After Eunuch Gui announced the adjournment of the court, he hurried away following the emperor, whose face was ashen.
Grand Tutor Xu, Duke Xu, and Old Marquis Shen all came to Shen Nanxing and helped her up.
"Nanxing, are you okay?"
"Nanxing, your knees hurt from kneeling, right? Get up quickly."
Shen Nanxing stood up with the help of several people: "Grandfather, uncle, uncle, I'm fine."
As she spoke, her eyes passed through the gap between the people and fell on a man in black.
She thought that person would come over to show some concern for her, or at least wait for her to leave together, but she didn't expect that person to not even look at her and walked straight out of the hall.
Shen Nanxing: ???
She hurriedly told a few elders that she had an urgent matter, and without caring about the lingering pain in her knees, she ran out.
Fu Jiuli has long legs and walks fast.
Shen Nanxing ran all the way to the outside of the palace wall, and then he blocked the people in the alley.
There was only a foot between the two of them.
Shen Nanxing bent over slightly and gasped for breath: "You, why are you running so fast?"
Fu Jiuli was silent for a while, then lowered his eyes slightly: "I didn't run away."
Shen Nanxing put his hands on his hips and tilted his head back, accusingly saying, "Then why didn't you wait for me? If I hadn't run so fast, I would have almost been unable to catch up with you!"
Fu Jiuli: "General Shen has returned triumphantly and recognized his brother again. It's time for him to return to the Marquis' Mansion and reunite with his family."
The implication is: Why are you chasing me?
His tone was cold, his temperament was distant, and he looked like he was keeping people at a distance.
Shen Nanxing:...What do you mean?
You turned your back on me as soon as you came back to Beijing, right?
Shen Nanxing's heart sank and he lowered his head. When he raised it again, his black and white eyes were already filled with tears.
"Fu Jiuli, my legs hurt..."
The voice sounded very aggrieved.
A hint of heartache flashed across Fu Jiuli's eyes, but it quickly disappeared without being noticed.
He clenched his hands slightly at his side, but his tone remained indifferent: "General Shen's legs hurt, he should go to the clinic."
She pursed her lips tightly, thinking to herself, she was still fine after running this far, and she didn't show any pain just now, so she must have been pretending, so she must be fine...
Shen Nanxing choked, and suddenly he was filled with anger. With his courage rising, he took a big step towards Fu Jiuli.
Fu Jiuli quickly took a half step back, putting some distance between herself and the woman.
Shen Nanxing looked up at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you hiding?"
The corner of his lips curled up into a frivolous smile: "Are you afraid that I will kiss you?"
The woman's eyes were bright and lively, where was the trace of tears?
Fu Jiuli: "You..."
She felt embarrassed and annoyed, but also relieved. She had indeed been pretending before!
He lowered his eyelids, his expression expressionless. "Now General Shen has reconciled with Prince Jing, and North Vietnam has signed a peace treaty with Donglai. There is no war in the country."
"General Shen...you can also find a good man to share your life with."
Fu Jiuli's voice was hoarse. After he finished speaking these few words, his heart felt empty, and a cold pain gradually spread.
Shen Nanxing's eyes widened in shock.
She thought that during this campaign, the two of them had already communicated with each other, and as long as she returned to Beijing and divorced Xie Tingyu, they would be able to get along legally.
But she never expected that as soon as he came back, he would push her out.
"I was just being sentimental."
Shen Nanxing blinked, and two tears slid down her cheeks.
Seeing that the man still looked indifferent, she wiped her tears with her sleeve, turned around and ran away.
Only a man in black was left standing alone in the alley, almost blending into the dark alley.
Fu Jiuli looked at the direction the woman left and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
Your Majesty's concubine is right, he is a eunuch after all.
Just now in the court, that concubine just said that Nanxing had an affair with him, and the court officials looked at Nanxing with such unkind eyes, full of malice...
If he really disregarded moral principles and stayed with her...
No, how could he let her live in the unbearable eyes of the world just for his own selfish reasons?
He just said those words to her, she must be disappointed in him.
It’s fine this way, let’s just treat this journey as a beautiful dream.
Now that I've woken up from the dream, I shouldn't have any more expectations...
