"Why are there so many dishes made?" Bei Chen Han hugged Li Yu'er and said with a smile.
Li Yu'er looked at Bei Chenghan's smile for a moment. She was actually unable to control herself. These days since she entered the palace, not to mention seeing the emperor's smiling face, even if she saw someone, she could count them on one hand.
All of a sudden, Li Yu'er was a little jealous of that girl called Nore. How could she make a king of a country like Beichen Han come to care for her so much? However, she didn't show it on her face. She only lowered her head slightly and said, "Chenqie thought that the emperor might like it, so she did it. But I don't know what the emperor likes to eat, so I can only make everything." As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Bei Chen Han from the corner of his eyes.
Bei Chen Han caressed Li Yu'er's head: "Everything here is my favorite dish." Then he started to eat, but the moment the dish entered his mouth, a complicated look flashed across Bei Chen Han's face, he lowered his head to look at the person in his embrace, as though he could clearly see that it wasn't his Na'er, but another woman.
At that moment of loss, Bei Chen Han was unable to express it in words. It was just that at that moment, Bei Chen Han really wanted to see Na'er, and not this kind of woman.
But even if it was a substitute, that feeling couldn't be similar. No, it was completely different. Even the taste of the dish was different. He could always feel the warmth of the food that was made by his Noriko. It was just like his Noriko, warm and comfortable.
Bei Chenghan put down his chopsticks and released the person in his arms. He said coldly, "I am full. Jingfei, take your time." As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Li Yu'er was astonished and even more frightened. She rushed out without thinking, "Your majesty."
Beichen Han did not even turn his head, he only said, "I still have a report to read." As he spoke, he took large strides and left without any lingering feelings.
Li Yu'er stared straight at the supreme man of Beichen Kingdom. This man was her husband, yet he left so mercilessly. In the short ten days since she had entered the palace, this was the first time this man had left without the slightest trace of warmth. He didn't even have the slightest bit of feelings for the most basic people, only that he would want her like a wild beast at night. But every time he reached his peak, she could hear him shouting that name without any concealment.
'Nore, nore.
Li Yu'er swept all the dishes on the table to the floor. The empress had told her early in the morning to put on a good act with the double, the daughter of a daughter called Nuo. This way the emperor would pamper her.
Yes, she did, and the Emperor came to see her almost every night, but never stayed.
Everyone in the palace said that she had already completely covered up the empress. She knew how much the emperor doted on the empress. That kind of love was something that no one had ever done before. When she first entered the palace, she had never thought of being able to woo the empress one day. However, reality proved that she was much more favoured than the empress. At least, the emperor wouldn't touch her now.
However, even if everyone in the palace thought that way, even if everyone in the world thought that way, only she knew clearly in her heart that she wasn't being favored. She was just a substitute, a substitute for that Nore to be doted on by the Emperor. The hair of hope. effervescent.
Li Yu'er gritted her teeth. She wasn't willing to give up! She was jealous! Why did she have to be a substitute for someone else? Why did her husband favor her over another woman?
She knew that she had already fallen in love with this god-like man. Even if she had to give up everything, even if it meant she had to use all means at her disposal, she had to obtain this man's gaze and not pass through others.
If he had never been able to get someone who would never even dream about such extravagant things, he wouldn't be so greedy now.
Li Yu'er's eyes flashed with the light of the lunar calendar as she shouted, "Xiao Yin!" Immediately, a maid came in from outside the door. Xiao Yin was the maid that she had brought from the mansion, and both of them had grown up together.
"Miss." Little Silver still retained the name she used to call him when she was young.
Li Yu'er wrote a few words on the paper, and then placed it into a tube for Little Silver: "Give this to my father. Remember, do not let anyone see it." Li Yu'er instructed.
Little Silver nodded.
Li Yu'er looked at the back view of Xiao Yin as she left. When she first entered the palace, her cowardice had almost subsided. Her father had once told her that the imperial palace was a place where one ate people without spitting out their bones. It was a place where one ate people or ate them continuously. There were only these two paths, there was no other way.
At that time, she had said that the Emperor doted on the Empress so much that she had nothing to do with him. She had merely gone through some procedures and then returned.
However, things were unpredictable. She had actually reached this step.
Yes, her father was right, she would either eat people or be eaten, so she didn't believe that the empress would be so kind as to help an unfamiliar woman like her. She had to figure everything out, including that woman who didn't seem to exist, Na'er.
Li Yu'er's eyes were filled with gloom.
Bai Qian leaned back in her chair, her eyes not looking at the person kneeling on the ground. "She wants you to deliver the letter?"
Little Silver nodded. "Yes, Empress."
"Bring it here." Bai Qian said.
Xiao Yin took out the slip of paper from the bamboo tube and respectfully handed it over to Whitesnow. Whitesnow opened it and looked at it, his eyes full of mockery. Then, he gave the slip of paper to Xiao Yin, "Load it up and send it to Li Shang Shu's residence."
Xiao Yin nodded respectfully and left. Just as Xiao Yin left, a person came down from above, "Is it okay?"
Xiao Bai smiled faintly. "If she wants to fight for a favor, let her fight for it. I was afraid that she would not take it to heart." "Only the more careful Li Yu'er is, the longer Beichen will be able to go to look for Nono, and the more time he can buy for her." As she spoke to here, the white voice once again lowered.
She didn't know how her Na'er was doing now. If she forgot everything, wouldn't she be able to feel a little bit happier? As she thought of this, her slender fingers clenched into a fist. She could only blame herself for not being able to protect her own little sister.
"Then do you believe in that maid?" the man asked.
Bai Qian sneered, and retorted, "How many people do you think are out there right now for the sake of wealth and honor?" That person no longer spoke.
Bai Qian then asked, "How is Na'er?"
"Very good, we are now in the Devil Sect." the man replied.
"Devil Sect?" Bai Qian was worried. "Where's Xi Ling? Why would Xiao'er suddenly come to the Devil Sect?"
That person seemed to have anticipated Bai Qian's reaction and said, "It's fine. Listen to me. Although Xi Ling is not by her side, the Devil Sect's Sect Leader will definitely not harm her."
Bai Qian did not believe him. "Why?"
That person told the story of what happened at Spirit Mountain to Whitesnow. Only then did Whitesnow feel relieved, but he still asked, "Are your investigations reliable?"
That person laughed, "After so many years, you still don't believe in my abilities." These words weren't a question at all, they were quite certain.
"The best." Her fair and white brows knitted together. It was unknown what she was thinking about. She raised her head to look at him. "Say, do you think that Ning Fei can protect Na'er?"
That person did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he said: "Sure, but if the opponent is Beichen Han, it will be very difficult."
Bai Qian immediately became dejected, but that person said, "But if you add on the West Tomb, that would be enough."
"What do you mean?" Bai Qian immediately stood up from the chair.
That person still smiled. "Of course it's literal."
However, Bai Qian stared at him and said word by word, "Is Xi Ling in love with Na'er?"
The man shrugged. "It's too early to say it, but Zuño is definitely a special existence for him."
His white eyes flashed and his face was full of smiles as he said, "God has finally heard my prayers. He is finally willing to help Nona. My Nona is finally saved." As he spoke happily, his tears had already begun to fall.
The man just watched and said nothing. After a while, he said, "Is what you did worth it?"
Upon hearing these words, the smile on Bai Qian's face disappeared as he said solemnly, "It's worth it. Even if I die for Xiao'er, it's still worth it. Because I'm Xiao'er's blood sister."
"Alright, I understand." The man said, "I'll help you do it."
Bei Chen Han felt that he really did not want to wait any longer, even if he was just thinking about nothing now, and that Xiao'er's face would appear in front of him, just like the truth, sometimes he would reach out his hand to touch her, but the moment his hand touched the smiling person's face, the image instantly shattered, telling him that his Na'er was not in front of him, and did not know him at all.
Like a stranger.
Bei Chenghan took a deep breath, trying to ease the stifling sensation in his chest.
In fact, he had been thinking a lot about the past. Only now and then he wondered if he had done something wrong before, if he should not have treated Norrell that way, if he had not done so then, his Norrell would not have treated him now as a stranger.
However, thinking about it, even Bei Chen Han himself felt that he had really lost his memory, having been tortured by him. Bei Chen Han didn't want to admit it, but he had no choice but to admit it. The Duke of Bei Chen was so good to his wife that he had nothing else to say.
It was really good, he was willing to do anything for his Na'er, this supreme power and wealth. He didn't even have to blink his eyes, giving up everything for his Na'er, and even his life, he could use it to exchange for something, just to make his Na'er better.
Was it because, at that time, he was willing to die with the Duke of Northern Chen?
Thinking of this, Beichen felt like he was suffocating, and he couldn't even breathe.
Although Duke Bei Chen was dead, he was still cared about him. As a child, he didn't need anyone to treat his daughter well, and he would treat her well. Yes, he would treat her well, and not like before.
As such, he could not remember that damned Duke Bei Chen in his memory, not even a little bit.
"Someone, come." Bei Chen Han shouted, and a guard immediately came in from outside, knelt on the ground and waited for his orders. Bei Chen Han looked at him, and did not speak, but did not say anything, no, his wife had lost her memories now, and was not willing to remember him, he could not bring her back unyieldingly, with the death of Lord Bei Chen, no one else wanted her, he did not need to worry, but now was a new beginning, he should have a little patience, waiting for Xi Ling to bring his son back, a healthy girl, not now, and not now.
"Step down." Beichen Han asked, and the guard hurriedly retreated, baffled.
Not now. Bei Chenghan clenched his fists tightly, it was not now.
On the long and narrow road, a luxurious carriage was running with all of its might. When the coachman saw the huge rock in front of him, he had no choice but to stop and speak hesitantly to the people inside, "Master, we can't cross this road."
