Aside from what TienYL said, there are also other reasons she continues to avoid him (in her female form), which would be mentioned later in the slow paced story, such as...
- Wanting to be more useful/helpful to the emperor by being actively/physically/tangibly helping him and his empire as a general. Being a general and carrying out the duties would give her the sense of fulfilling her debt to him; and is more fulfilling/suitable to her than life as a concubine.
- Revering the emperor as a celestial being (god/holy figure) and viewing him as the sky that is far too high for her to reach.
- Believes he belongs to everyone (his people) and not just her.
- Afraid she would tarnish his image, reputation, etc. because of (but not limited to) her lies.
- Being a humble person who prefers to stay in the background.
Of course, the runaway has to stop at some point *, so hang in there everyone.
