Glossary:

[1] One of three high ranking positions who assist the emperor or the officer who counsels the prince

Zhao Chengjun did not reply for a long time. Tang Shishi originally thought that Zhao Chengjun did not want to speak. After a while, she found that Zhao Chengjun's body temperature was constantly dropping. Tang Shishi quickly touched Zhao Chengjun's hand, which was already cold.

Tang Shishi was in a panic and quickly asked, "Wangye, how are you?"

At last, Zhao Chengjun seemed to be unable to hold it, leaning on to the tree next to him, and his face was pale. Tang Shishi was so frightened. She quickly helped Zhao Chengjun to sit down. Zhao Chengjun did not speak for a long time. Tang Shishi bravely touched Zhao Chengjun's face, and the result was also ice-cold.

He lost too much blood, his lips were pale, his limbs were cold, and his pulse was very fast. Tang Shishi did not know how he got here alive. He did not make any sound previously. So, Tang Shishi thought he was all right.

As a result, it turned out to be so serious.

Tang Shishi looked around in a hurry and asked, "Where is the herb that can stop bleeding? Wangye, you wait. I'll find it right now."

"No need." Zhao Chengjun stopped Tang Shishi's movement, repressed his breath, and said slowly, "You don't need to work in vain. Listen, I just notified them and someone will come soon. If the person who comes is Jiang Jiu, or the face you have seen in the study room, then follow them. If they refuse to take off their masks or refuse to report their identity, then they are spies. You don't have to worry about me and run by yourself immediately. The woods are deep here, and they dare not search the woods wildly. You can be saved as long as you hide until dawn."

Zhao Chengjun said these things in a low voice and sometimes had to stop before he could continue. Tang Shishi widened her eyes unknowingly, "Wangye, what are you doing?"

Why was this sounded the same as confessing his last words?

Zhao Chengjun had to prepare for the worst. He has lost too much blood now, and his vision was blurred. No matter who was the next person, he has no more power to resist them. The court in the first half of his life and the military in the second half of his life had long taught Zhao Chengjun not to put hope on the unexpected. The first to arrive may be from the Prince Jing mansion or the Tatars. Zhao Chengjun did not know how Heaven would arrange it. He only knows that he must take advantage of the present to arrange his affairs.

He should have died as early as the second year of Yongxi's reign. Now he was able to live more than 11 years was already fighting his life with Yama. However, Tang Shishi should not die here. These people came for him and had nothing to do with Tang Shishi. She should have lived her life squeamishly and freely.

Zhao Chengjun lowered his head and breathed slowly. After he had enough strength, he continued, "When you go back, take this jade pendant to find Liu Ji and tell him that there is a letter in the secret compartment that explains what to do after my death. Let them do what the letter says. After these words are passed to Liu Ji, you can leave, and Liu Ji will help you arrange the entanglement and identity. After that, you will be free."

As Zhao Chengjun said, he handed a jade pendant to Tang Shishi. After looking at it for a long time, Tang Shishi suddenly pressed Zhao Chengjun's hand and pushed the jade pendant back to Zhao Chengjun.

Tang Shishi said, "Wangye, this is your personal jade pendant. If I take it back, it's hard to say whether Liu Gonggong will believe me. It's hard to say whether the people in the mansion can let me go, or even whether I can live till tomorrow. I won't send a message on behalf of you, nor will I leave. If Wangye is really worried, then go back to the mansion and arrange it in person."
