He drank! No wonder he didn't go to the meeting tonight!

I stepped back a little. "Since you want to rest, I won't disturb you!" Just pretend that I never appeared! "

However, my sleeves were caught, and then, with a warm wave of my back, Yan Hua approached me.

He didn't hug me as he always did, but put his face close to mine and put his arm around my waist from behind. His forehead rested on my back like a child's.

"Lian'er …" he whispered.

I was stunned... This look doesn't seem right? But I froze.

Then, Yan Hua came closer and closer to him. He seemed to have drank a little too much and his voice was no longer filled with the tyranny and majesty of an emperor like usual, "Lian'er, don't go … "Stay with me …"

Is there a kind of sadness and fragility in it? For some reason, my heart skipped a beat. Then, I couldn't bear it any longer.

In the end, I still let him down. It was my arrival that prompted Bai Lian to leave. It was I who chased away his lover.

I stayed where I was and didn't struggle. I knew it was wrong, that it would only deepen his hopes for me, and the more he wished, the more pain he would suffer in the future. Actually, I should have turned around and left immediately. I should have beaten him up, knocked him awake, told him not to have any infatuation or extravagant hopes for me … However, I was still unable to do it in the end. He was so fragile now. It was the first time I had ever seen a man so vulnerable. As for him, he was an extremely imposing overlord. Thus, his current appearance was truly unbearable.

I slowly turned around. "Yan Hua, you're drunk."

Yan Hua barely managed to stand firm on his feet as his eyes flashed incessantly. The moonlight shone into his purple pupils, making them seem even more alluring.

However, his expression was as sorrowful as the moonlight.

He hugged me and sobbed, "Lian'er, come back, come back to my side!"

I sighed. "No. "Sorry …"

I raised my hand to push him, but he held me tighter. I struggled, but he leaned over me! The cold kiss landed on my cheek with a note of despair, and then, when he asked for more, there was a little panic in my heart.

He's drunk, I shouldn't have been weak, I have to leave right now!

I struggled as hard as I could and shouted, "Yan Hua, let me go!"

But he held me tighter.

"Lian'er, why? Why did you run away from me? Why don't you pay any more attention to me? You once said that I am the person you love the most in this world! But, now that we've finally met, you have to hide from me! What was it for? Is it because I didn't go to Nan Yu to find you? Are you blaming me for not confessing my identity to you? It's all my fault. I apologize, will you forgive me? Come back to my side and accompany me, okay? "I promise I won't hurt you again. I promise I won't hurt your clansmen …"

He spoke incoherently and guaranteed a lot by saying a lot. I listened sadly.

Anyone who hears his confession and sees his current state will definitely feel a little unwilling. As the instigator, I blame myself even more … Yan Hua indeed loved Bai Lian dearly, and Bai Lian should also love him. Ah, white boy, oh white boy, just how much sin did you make …

All I could do was try my best to calm his frenzy. Then, when he violently lifted me up and prepared to place me on the bed, I would give him another ruthless blow … I knocked him out with one palm, then grabbed his badge and ran out!

I'm sorry, Yan Hua! In the end, I am not Bai Lian!

I ran all the way to the entrance of the inner courtyard, where the guard asked me for my badge. I showed him the jade, but they swarmed around me!

"The fugitive is here. Quickly catch her, don't let her escape!"

The guards swarmed forward and surrounded me with their swords and sabers. I raised my hand and surrendered. What was going on? Why did this pass through the waist like a bomb and hit a hornet's nest?

Just as I was wondering, someone helped the imperial physician over and pointed a trembling finger at my nose. Tie her up! She's the one who knocked me out! "

Ah, so that's how it was. While I was pestering Yan Hua, Imperial Physician Gu actually woke up! I managed to steal my identity card, but it was ruined. I was escorted back to my room.

Tonight was a wasted night.

Stealthily running away and stealing the jade token wasn't completely useless. At the very least, Yan Hua knew that I was heartless to him, and the imperial physician deeply loathed my attack.

"As a prisoner, you've already received special preferential treatment. Don't rely on the emperor's favor to do whatever you want!"

He stared at his beard. When he saw me again, he wasn't as gentle as before. Instead, he would intentionally give me bitter medicine to drink. During acupuncture, he would also deliberately give me pain.

I didn't complain to Yan Hua about the grievances I had suffered because of all of this. Furthermore, even if I cried to him, he might not pay attention to me right now … Ever since the invasion of Liujiang City, the Cang army stopped advancing. It was not because they did not want to advance, but it was because the Jialingguan was harder to break through than they thought. The Cang army attacked the city several times but failed to succeed.

Their defeat was inevitable, because Carlin Pass was the final barrier for the north to enter Nan Yu Country. Since ancient times, the Nan Yu Country had always been aware of the importance of this barrier, so they had sent a lot of troops to guard this place. Liujiang City is already lost, this is the last barrier of Nan Yu country, do you think the Nan Yu army will not defend this?

Thus, after Yan Hua's army suffered a setback, he was in a bad mood. Naturally, he did not have the time to pay attention to me and even did not enter my room for a few days.

The Imperial Physician still took my pulse every day, and seeing that the Emperor was no longer enthusiastic about me, he thought it was time for me to be "out of favor." That night, when Yan Hua was drunk, Sir Shangguan came to find him. It was said that Yan Hua grabbed him and shouted "Lian'er! Lian'er!". The smart Sir Shangguan immediately understood my identity.

"So you are the Southern Yu Country's general Bai Lian?" The imperial physician was very surprised, his eyes revealing a look of deep thought. "No wonder everyone says that General Bai Lian is exceptionally handsome, even more so than a woman. This is the real reason!"

Towards his "praise", I could only smile wryly, but Sir Shangguan's methods were not limited to this … Now that I am out of favour and an important captive of the enemy, will I be of any use?

Thus, one day, I overheard Imperial Physician Shangguan's private suggestion to Yan Hua, "Your Majesty, the reason why Carlin Pass has been unable to be defeated for a long time is because the enemy's soldiers guarding the city are too resolute. If there's any way to shake their morale, perhaps they could make a breakthrough."

Yan Hua asked, "What do you think, Sir Shangguan?"

"Take the hostage to attack the city!"

"Hostages?"

"Bai Lian is a well-known general in Nan Yu Country. Many people in the Nan Yu Army are her death soldiers. Now that she has been resurrected and is being held captive by our army, what would the consequences be if the Southern Yu Army were to find out? "If we make the matter of Bai Lian seem more interesting, it might be even more useful …"

I listened to the blue veins in my forehead throbbing... This imperial physician's idea was too vicious! Was he going to tie me up and use me as a shield? Or should I be used as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Yueze? If it's the latter, I think he'll probably work; it's not that I think highly of myself, but that Yueze really likes me.

But how can I be a burden to you? Wasn't I risking my life to help Yue Ze explain his troubles?
