You believe me.

This sentence seems to have no beginning or end.

She was saying she could kill herself, and he responded by saying she believed him.

Lu Yunqi looked at her.

Miss Jun looked at him.

Even if others don't understand, they all know what the other person means.

The only people who can be threatened with death are those who care about you.

So she knew and believed that he cared about her, loved her and would never hurt her.

She knew what he was thinking.

"These are two different things." Miss Jun looked at him indifferently, "This is your business, and has nothing to do with me."

Your feelings are yours and what you want. If you are threatened because you are reluctant to give up, it is your own business and your own choice. You are the one who makes things difficult for yourself and it has nothing to do with others.

Lu Yunqi nodded.

"Yes," he said, "I do."

Miss Jun put the sword close to her neck again and raised her head slightly so that he could see the faint bloodstains on her skin.

"Get out of the way," she said, stepping forward.

Lu Yunqi looked at her.

She walked over step by step.

"You're powerful, but don't think you can stop me," she said. "I can't kill you, but I have countless ways to kill myself."

Princess Jiuli followed her and tried to stop her carefully but stopped, just looking at her closely with tears in her eyes.

Lu Yunqi stood there without moving.

"I know." He said, pausing for a moment, "Then let's leave the capital first, and I won't keep you locked up anymore."

Miss Jun smiled.

"I will not leave the capital," she said.

"I know." Lu Yunqi said.

He now understood why she had been so persistent in making a name for herself in the capital.

“But things are different now,” he continued.

"It's precisely because of the current situation." Miss Jun interrupted him, pausing at each word, "I will not leave, absolutely not."

She had come much closer, and looked even smaller when standing in front of Lu Yunqi, but perhaps it was her slightly raised chin, or perhaps it was the look in her eyes, which made people feel that she was looking down at the person in front of her.

"Even if we are captured, the descendants of the Chu family will never abandon our country and our people and flee."

Her lips moved slightly but she said nothing.

"A coward, not worthy of the surname Chu."

Lu Yunqi looked at her in silence.

"Get out of the way." Miss Jun said again.

Lu Yunqi remained silent. A Jinyiwei came quickly from outside and, contrary to his usual practice, did not disturb Lu Yunqi from doing his work. Instead, he walked up to him and whispered a few words with an anxious look on his face.

After hearing his words, Lu Yunqi remained silent and just looked at Miss Jun, and the Jinyiwei did not retreat, but looked at Lu Yunqi with some urging.

Miss Jun looked at him and flipped her hand slightly again. On her fair neck, thin red spots appeared like acacia beans.

"Okay." Lu Yunqi said almost at the same time, and then turned around.

The Royal Guards on both sides followed him and turned around. Their scarlet cloaks fluttered, and the sound of leather boots clattered. In a blink of an eye, a group of people left.

Miss Jun stood there holding the sword, unable to believe it for a moment.

Princess Jiuli was also a little stunned, but she came to her senses and looked at Miss Jun's neck.

"Put it down first?" she murmured.

There was no begging or panicking, just questioning.

Did they really agree? Miss Jun looked ahead, and the figures of Lu Yunqi and others had disappeared. Or were there some other conspiracy outside?

Princess Jiuli also looked over.

"I'll go take a look first." She said suddenly, and walked out.

"No need." Miss Jun stopped her and took the sword off her neck, but still held it tightly in her hand. "He should have left. The emperor can't wait for him."

emperor?

Jiuli looked at Miss Jun.

Miss Jun also looked at her.

"The Jin people are attacking," she said.

Princess Jiuli looked surprised.

"What..." She blurted out but immediately swallowed the rest of the words, turning it into a sigh.

"The emperor is going to run away." Miss Jun continued.

This time Princess Jiuli was not even surprised, but smiled instead.

"Oh," she said.

Miss Jun looked at her.

"I'm not leaving," she said.

Princess Jiuli looked at her and nodded.

"Well," she said, and then added, "I'm not leaving either."

There seemed to be a thousand words to say at this moment, but when their eyes met, it seemed as if nothing needed to be said.

Now is not the time to talk.

Miss Jun took a deep breath.

"Let's go," she said, and walked out with the sword in her hand.

Princess Jiuli followed behind her, looking at her seriously and carefully, just looking at her.

The servants in the yard outside were still startled when they saw Miss Jun holding a sword, but no one shouted or asked questions. This was a habit they had developed over a long period of time.

Miss Jun walked along unhindered, all the Royal Guards disappeared, and the gate was right in front of her.

"Open the door," she said.

The servant at the door opened the door without any hesitation or questioning who the stranger was.

Lu's house seemed to have become a place where the door was open and anyone could come and go as they pleased.

Lu Yunqi left and escaped with the emperor.

Miss Jun clenched the sword in her hand and turned to look at Princess Jiuli.

Princess Jiuli kept looking at her, and when their eyes met, she smiled at her with tears in her eyes.

"You stay home and keep the door closed," Miss Jun said. "Don't be afraid."

Princess Jiuli smiled and shook her head.

"Don't be afraid," she said.

Miss Jun looked at her and nodded.

"I'll go outside and think of a solution," she said.

Princess Jiuli looked at her.

Outside, the Jin army was about to invade. Did she go to take a look and think about how to deal with the Jin army?

Is she holding this sword alone?

Is she going to face the Jin army alone?

Just like she did back then, going out alone to seek revenge?

That time she never came back, but this time...

Princess Jiuli looked at her and straightened her back.

"Okay." She said, "You, go ahead."

Miss Jun turned around and walked away, but after taking a few steps she suddenly turned back and walked forward to hug Princess Jiuli.

"I'm going." She said, and gently touched her head on Princess Jiuli's shoulder. Without waiting for Princess Jiuli to react or speak, she let go of her and ran out.

He ran out without looking back.

Princess Jiuli's tears began to fall at this time.

She finally saw her lost sister again, but they hadn't said a word to each other, and she didn't even call her sister.

Can I come back after this trip?

Come back.

She looked at the woman's back as she walked away, wanting to warn her loudly and get her promise.

Come back.

"Go ahead." But she just said it in the end.

When she said this, Miss Jun had already walked out the door and could not be seen anymore, but she still said it.

"Go ahead." She nodded and said again, clasping her hands at her sides in front of her. Her expression regained its calmness, and her posture became straight and dignified.

…

Miss Jun ran to the street. There were people coming and going on the street during the day. Although it was a little more tense than before, it was still bustling and prosperous overall, and there was no chaos with people running away.

The news has not spread yet.

Miss Jun bit her lower lip and ran through the crowd on the street.

The atmosphere in the Geunjeongjeon Palace in the imperial palace was somewhat tense and strange.

There were originally many eunuchs in the palace, but now there were only a few people, including Yuan Bao, who had not been seen for a long time.

"Hurry up, hurry up." He urged in a low voice.

Several eunuchs were packing things from the Qinzheng Hall with panic-stricken expressions and trembling hands and feet.

The door opened with a creak, and the eunuchs were startled, some of them even screamed out loud.

Yuan Bao was also startled. When he saw that the person coming was a young official, he kicked the eunuch in shame.

"What are you yelling about?" He cursed in a low voice, "Is Lord Ning a ghost? Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Ning Yunzhao is not a ghost, and he doesn't care about Yuan Bao's rude words.

"Eunuch Yuan, are you still not well?" He whispered, nodding his head slightly toward the outside, "The Emperor is calling you."

Yuan Bao hurriedly responded and was about to leave, but then stopped and looked inside.

"Then here..." he said hesitantly.

"I'll watch." Ning Yunzhao said hurriedly, nodding solemnly, "Don't worry, Eunuch Yuan."
