Her curled up hair had long been scattered, and her temples fell on her cheeks, because she was too impatient, her clothes were untidy, she hadn't tied her shoulders and she didn't pay attention, she just pressed his wound with all her heart.

Sima Jiao looked at her without speaking.

Liao Tingyan bit his lip, finally raised his head and looked into his eyes, "You...will you die?"

Sima Jiao: "What do you think?"

Liao Tingyan exhaled, "If you die, what will your country do? There is no owner, and there will be chaos everywhere."

Sima Jiao didn't seem to care, and his attitude was unusually cold: "There is no dynasty that can last forever. This country is not named Sima from the beginning. What about the subjugation of the country? When a dynasty is at its end, it will inevitably be destroyed. It's people who want me to die, don't you want it?" Sima Jiao's eyes became probing when he said the latter sentence.

"I'm dead, and you can be free."

Liao Tingyan himself didn't know what he thought, but he was scared to see how the dog emperor Sima Jiao might die at any time. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and shook her head.

Sima Jiao got up, grabbed her shoulders slightly and asked, "You don't want me to die?"

Liao Tingyan: "I don't want you to die, and I don't want you to die."

Sima Jiao's shoulders trembled and she laughed out loud, squeezing her chin to make her raise her head, "Well, if you say that, I won't die, and I won't be subjugated."

Liao Tingyan: ...The reality is so miserable and the tone is so big.

Sima Jiao lay back, squeezing her hand, "If you didn't shake your head just now, I will kill you before I die."

Liao Tingyan suddenly felt that it would be better to let the dog emperor die.

Sima Jiao squeezed her wrist, "Don't think about running, you can't run away. If I die, I must die with me. Otherwise, it will be boring everywhere."

Liao Tingyan couldn't cry anymore, and simply sat down: "Then, your Majesty, how are you going to ask for help now?"

Sima Jiao: "You didn't realize that Jin De didn't leave with us? He went to look for Gao Taibao. Gao Taibao has a way to find me, and wait for him to pick him up."

It's easy to say, if the enemy is found first, or Sima Jiao died of illness before then, or if they both starve to death, wouldn't it be too unlucky?

Sima Jiao: "It doesn't matter, you will die with me no matter what."

Liao Tingyan: No, I don't want to die.

The woods at night are very dark, but there is a starlight in the sky. The black horse rested on their sides, Liao Tingyan leaned in Sima Jiao's arms, listening to the gurgling of the small river beside him, unable to sleep anyway.

In the middle of the night, the person she was leaning on was very cold, making her feel terrified all the time, fearing that he would really die silently. Only by quietly leaning against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, can he relax.

Sima Jiao didn't fall asleep either, but he didn't speak, and he was a little quieter than him. Liao Tingyan thought he was bleeding and tired, or the wound was so painful that he didn't want to talk, but occasionally, he would raise his hand and slowly stroke her hair.

In this boundless silence, they cuddled together, and Liao Tingyan felt that there was something different from the countless times before. It may be that Sima Jiao's movements were too slow, she felt a kind of almost extreme tenderness, and slowly, even his cold body became warmer.
