The emperor frowned.
Xu Lingyi pulled aside the half-human-high weeds and bent over to take a look.
"Your Majesty...it seems so. I'm not sure...but we have been down here for so long and haven't found any place to get out. It seems that only here is there any hope."
In her previous life, Xu Lingyi left from here. This location is extremely hidden.
If she had not quietly led the emperor here today, it might have taken a long time before he could have discovered this place.
There was a stream in front of them, but as they looked out into the distance, the stream seemed to be getting wider and wider...
In her previous life, Xu Lingyi wanted to take a gamble.
Her bet paid off. She twisted vines into ropes and used them to tie the wood together to make a simple raft.
After floating on the water for almost seven days, we finally reached a town about five days' walk from the capital.
"Yier, do you dare to try?" The emperor looked up at her.
"Of course." Xu Lingyi nodded: "This subject really wants to return to the capital."
Once I go back, I can take complete revenge. My grandmother and the others must have been having a very good time these days. I'm afraid they have thought she was dead and are very happy.
When she returns, they probably won't be able to laugh anymore.
The thought of their faces seeing her alive made her excited.
They probably don't know that the first time they see her will be the happiest day of their lives.
"Isn't it good here?" The emperor's eyes were deep.
She might be missing her relatives, but was she thinking about Xie Huaixing as well?
The emperor couldn't help but feel suspicious. After knowing that she liked Xie Huaixing, he no longer had any good feelings towards Xie Huaixing.
"Actually, if I weren't worried about my family worrying, living here for the rest of my life wouldn't be a big deal. We're isolated from the world here, just the two of us... We work from sunrise to sunset. If you find it hard, I'll take care of everything around the house."
Xu Lingyi lowered her head and shook her head slowly, "But I still want to go back. There are delicious food and wine, beautiful clothes and beautiful clothes outside... If Your Majesty returned, you would still have supreme power and status. Wouldn't you miss it?"
The emperor's face was as calm as water: "These are external things, not important to me."
Xu Lingyi had long realized that the emperor was not a person who valued power.
Perhaps he should have been a leisurely prince, traveling around the world.
"Then Your Majesty...you don't want to go back?" Xu Lingyi asked tentatively.
"No."
The emperor's eyes were deep as he stared at her: "If you want to go back, then I also want to go back and be with you."
She was not something outside of him.
In the next few days, the emperor began to cut down trees.
They found farm tools and axes in front of the house.
This is much better than Xu Lingyi's situation in her previous life.
"I will also help Your Majesty. Whether it's chopping trees or twisting hemp ropes, I can help. You are Your Majesty, and you are busy. How can I sit still?"
The emperor was the only one who was responsible for making the raft, and he didn't let Xu Lingyi get involved at all.
"Yier, I am a man, and these things are what I should do." The emperor did not want her to be so unfamiliar with him.
"Haven't you been feeling a little dizzy and sleepy lately? Go back and rest."
The emperor took Xu Lingyi's hand. She knew swordsmanship, but her palms were not rough or calloused like a martial artist.
Some people may be born with natural beauty and be stunningly beautiful.
How could he bear to let her do such rough work?
Xu Lingyi once again "passively" enjoyed the fruits of the emperor's labor. While the emperor was busy chopping trees, she slept on the soft bed.
Even when she woke up, the emperor had returned and prepared dinner.
The emperor's craftsmanship was indeed not very good at first, but it should be okay today.
The emperor chopped trees day and night, and after several days, their raft was completed. It was much better than the one Xu Lingyi made in her previous life.
"How?" asked the emperor.
"Your Majesty is so awesome." Xu Lingyi pretended to be surprised, but still praised her when she should.
"If I were a servant, I would never be able to make such a good raft."
"Yier, don't underestimate yourself."
They had prepared dry food for about ten days, but it should only take seven days to reach land.
Xu Lingyi was not sure how effective the amulet would be, nor did she know whether they would encounter a thunderstorm.
But she had encountered it in her previous life, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she escaped death.
I have several amulets in my life, so my luck should be much better.
"Let's go." The emperor personally closed the wooden house where they had lived for a long time and sealed the fence.
The emperor felt extremely disappointed and couldn't help looking back many times.
"Your Majesty..." Xu Lingyi also lowered her eyes, "Are you also reluctant to leave this place?"
The emperor nodded and said, "If I leave this time, I may never come back."
Xu Lingyi lowered her head, seemingly unsure how to comfort him.
The emperor took the initiative to speak, "It's all right. Although I regret to say goodbye to this place forever, I will always remember the days when we supported each other here and shared life and death together."
It wasn't the place that mattered, it was her.
The days of drifting on the water are very hard, and it is winter now, and the temperature is very low.
Even though they brought clothes from the wooden house, they still had a lot of clothes on.
Even if the emperor stayed up all night, she could still sleep.
But Xu Lingyi still couldn't hold on any longer.
Maybe it's because she is pregnant.
On the sixth day, Xu Lingyi no longer wanted to eat anything.
She could only tell herself that there was only one more day left before these hard days would be over.
