    All the maids and eunuchs withdrew, and he was the only two people left in Nuo Da's palace.

    A few wisps of cold wind came in through the cracks in the window, blowing the candlelight and swaying.

    Under the dim light of the fire, there was a hint of sadness in Xiao Chuo's expression.

    That sad expression, set against her plain clothes, made her look even more melancholy and beautiful.

    This was the first time Shi Wei saw this kind of beauty from her, and his heart couldn't help but beat.

    The two of them just sat facing each other, neither of them speaking. The already deserted palace seemed even more eerie and strange.

    After a moment of silence, Shi Wei said, "Are you okay these days?"

    Xiao Chuo said nothing, raised his head and finished the glass of wine.

    Shi Wei comforted her a few more words, but found that she ignored him at all and only drank one cup after another.

    Are you drinking to drown your sorrows?

    I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll be even more worried.

    Shi Weiyu couldn't bear it, so he stood up and walked over, pressing the wine glass to her mouth.

    ¡°Stop drinking it, it¡¯s not good for the baby in your belly.¡±

    Xiao Chuo glanced at him with a frosty expression. He ignored his persuasion and reached out to grab the wine.

    Shi Wei frowned, grabbed the entire bottle of wine on the table, and drank it all himself.

    Snapped!

    Shi Wei put the empty wine bottle on the table and advised: "The situation is like this, why bother to use wine to drown your sorrows and blame yourself like this."

    Xiao Chuo's body trembled and he glared at him angrily: "If it weren't for you, how could the late emperor be so angry to death? How could you still say such sarcastic words?"

    "If he doesn't die, you and I will have to die. I have no choice." Shi Wei was also a little angry, and his tone was as hard as iron.

    Xiao Chuo couldn't help but shudder at his drink.  The whole person seemed to be sober all of a sudden.

    "If he doesn't die, I have to die. If he doesn't die, I have to die"

    Xiao Chuo muttered this sentence, seeming to have some realization.

    Shi Wei took advantage of the situation and sighed again: "Actually, I think it's okay that he's gone. You should be happy."

    Xiao Chuo's expression changed, and anger reappeared in his expression.

    Shi Wei said unhurriedly: "From my perspective as a doctor, the disease he suffers from is incurable, and every day he lives is a kind of torture and suffering for him.  Death may be a kind of relief for him."

    "Relief" Xiao Chuo sighed softly, and his face turned a little again.

    "Besides, you had already arranged to get married to someone else back then, and it was Yelvxian who coveted your beauty and forced you into the palace. I don't believe that you don't have a trace of hatred for him in your heart."

    Hearing this, Xiao Chuo's heart skipped a beat.

    There is no doubt that Shi Wei¡¯s words touched the scar buried deep in her heart.

    Having been married to Yelvxian for so many years, even though she is a queen.  She seemed extremely noble, but she lost the happiness that a woman should enjoy.

    That sick man could no longer satisfy himself a long time ago.

    Xiao Chuo can hardly remember the last time they lived a normal life as husband and wife. It seemed so far away that it happened in a previous life.

    Shi Wei is right, Xiao Chuo has always hated Yelvxian from the bottom of his heart.

    Now that he is dead, and he was pissed to death by himself, maybe this is his retribution, and he can be regarded as repaying the hatred in his heart.

    "Tit for tit, we can be considered even."

    Xiao Chuo comforted himself like this in his heart, and his originally guilty and sad expression gradually subsided.

    Shi Wei knew that she had been persuaded by him.

    Or perhaps, she had already convinced herself in her heart that his words now only gave Xiao Chuo a way to step down.

    "You are now the empress dowager, and your son is also the emperor. The entire Liao Kingdom is under your control. You can do whatever you want and live the life you want. You no longer need to fear or worry about anyone. You should be happy.  yes."

    Shi Wei gently stroked her hand and continued to comfort her.

    Xiao Chuo's eyes gradually revealed their sparkle, and Shi Wei's words made her unable to help but imagine the beautiful future.

    "That day was the day of Yelvxian's death, but it was the day of your rebirth. From now on, Xiao Chuo is the real Xiao Chuo."

    "The day of rebirth, the day of rebirth"

    Xiao Chuo became more and more excited, and his melancholy mood had long since dissipated after Shi Wei's comfort.

      Suddenly, she felt a sense of enlightenment and excitement.

    Looking at her increasingly bright face, Shi Wei knew that she had come out of the gloom, and he was secretly relieved.

    Xiao Chuo, who was refreshed, suddenly held Shi Wei's hand tightly and said, "Yuanzhi, please stay. You are right. The whole Daliao belongs to me, why can't you belong to me."

    Shi Wei's heart skipped a beat. At a certain moment, he was really tempted.

    But soon he swept away the temptation to give up at that moment.

    In the Song Dynasty, there were still many people he couldn't let go of, and even Xiao Chuo couldn't make him give up everything he had.

    " Moreover, as an envoy of the Song Dynasty, if he betrayed the country while on a mission to an enemy country, it would not matter if he got a bad name. The key is that his family members who stayed in Luoyang would be implicated.

    Shi Wei can't do it.

    "I still have a lot of family and friends in Luoyang. If I stay, those people will be punished. I can't let so many people suffer because of me just for my own selfishness."

    Shi Wei frankly stated the reason for his refusal.

    Xiao Chuo¡¯s excited expression quickly dimmed.

    After being silent for a long time, she shook her head and smiled bitterly, sighing: "You're right, I'm too selfish, so you can't stay."

    Looking at her sad face, Shi Wei sighed in his heart and said: "We have a saying in the Central Plains, which is that it is better to forget each other in the world. Madam, can you understand it?"

    Xiao Chuo looked stunned, paused for a moment, and then smiled.

    That was a relieved smile.

    So, she loosened her clasped hands, drank tea instead of wine, raised her glass and said happily: "In that case, I wish you a safe journey."

    Shi Wei felt relieved and raised his glass with a smile: "My dear, please be precious and take good care of yourself and the child in your belly. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again."

    The two raised their glasses and drank, looking deeply at each other, looking at each other and smiling knowingly.

    After telling him that the wine had been drunk, no more teasing would be of any use, so Shi Wei stood up and left.

    Xiao Chuo didn't stay either, just watched him go calmly.

    The moment he went out, Xiao Chuo suddenly said loudly: "Song State, will it go to war for Yan Yun?"

    With this last question, Xiao Chuo returned to her demeanor as a female politician.

    For the Yanyun and Liao people, it was just a springboard for the southern invasion, but for the Song Dynasty, it was the key to life and death.

    Whether to start a war or not, is there any need to ask?

    Shi Wei did not answer. He only paused for a moment before striding out of the hall without looking back.

    Looking at that upright figure disappearing into the night, a trace of sadness quietly passed over Xiao Chuo's face.

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The next day, when it was still dark, the Song Dynasty delegation consisting of 300 people left the building in a low-key manner, set off from Youzhou and looked south.

    Shi Wei originally wanted to say goodbye to Yelu Siyun, but thinking about the replacement of the Liao Emperor, the complicated situation in Youzhou City, and the risk of staying one more day, he chose to say goodbye without saying goodbye and set off to return south as soon as possible.

    On the way south, troops from the Liao Kingdom continued to pass behind them and headed south, looking at the border between Liao and Song.

    It seems that the Liao people were also very wary of the Song Dynasty. They were afraid that the Song Dynasty would take advantage of the new death of the Liao Emperor to send troops to invade the north, so they sent more troops to guard the border.

    Although Shi Wei was in the Liao Kingdom, his thoughts had flown back to Luoyang.

    He felt that with Zhao Kuangyin's martial experience, after learning the news that the Liao Emperor passed away, the new emperor was young, and the queen's mother had exclusive power, he was afraid that he would be too excited to sleep, and began to plan the Northern Expedition to Yanyun.

    Shi Wei even felt that the imperial army in Beijing might have already made some moves, perhaps on its way to the north.

    Thinking of this, Shi Wei had to order the mission to speed up, lest the two countries start a war, and he and his subordinates would become victims of the Liao people's anger and venting here.

    So Shi Wei and his party went south day and night, bypassing all the prefectures and counties they encountered on the way, without even having time to stay for one night, and hurried on at a fast pace.

    Three days later, a hundred miles ahead is Xiongzhou. After crossing the Juma River, it is the land of the Song Dynasty.

    Seeing that the homeland was right in front of everyone, everyone was relieved of the fatigue of the past few days. Shi Wei encouraged everyone to hold on a little longer, and when they arrived in Xiongzhou, he invited everyone to have a drink.

    However, as soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of dust and mist suddenly rose to the north of the avenue.

    Yang Yanqi looked back and lookedHe immediately became alert, shouted "Brother Six" and made a signal.

    Yang Yanzhao hurriedly jumped off his horse and listened carefully with his ear to the ground.

    After a moment, he jumped up and frowned: "It's the cavalry that is chasing us. There are at least hundreds of them."

    Yang Yanqi¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Why did the Liao cavalry suddenly rush towards the border of the Song Dynasty? Could it be that they want to invade our border town of the Song Dynasty?¡±

    As soon as this statement came out, everyone became nervous.

    Shi Wei shook his head and said: "The Liao people have changed their thrones and the government and the opposition are unstable. It is good to hope that the Song Dynasty will not take the opportunity to make the Northern Expedition. How can we dare to take the initiative to invade and provoke? Empress Dowager Xiao is not that stupid."

    After Shi Wei analyzed it like this, everyone's emotions calmed down.

    Yang Yanqi then said: "The Liao people didn't want to invade the south, so why did they suddenly send cavalry to approach our country? It couldn't be that they were full and had nothing to do."

    Shi Wei had a vague feeling that those cavalry were probably coming towards them, and maybe there might be some changes in Youzhou.

    Shi Wei couldn't say it clearly, lest he mess up his position, so he had to ask the team to move forward faster.

    But no matter how fast they were, how could they be faster than the horses of the Liao people?

    Just after running less than thirty miles, the Liao cavalry came from behind.

    More than three hundred heavily armed cavalry galloped over, passing by both sides of the mission, and blocking the way forward.

    This is obviously a provocative signal.

    Seeing this, Yang Yanqi urgently ordered his subordinates to be on alert and prepare to fight.

    Those Liao cavalry surrounded the envoy and did not take action, but saw a cavalry coming out, waving the mace in his hand, and shouted sternly: "Where is the Shiwei dog thief!"!  ~!
