Chapter 997: Li'er Pei Yuanhao

cpa300_4();β€œ I understand. ”

After saying this, his whole body seemed to collapse a little, and I even saw that those points of light that flickered in his eyes were extinguished at this moment.

Then, he stood up.

At that moment, I also clearly felt the pain like pins and needles hit me again, thinking that if I rejected him, I could forget about this matter for a while, and I thought that by separating from him, I could soothe the thorn in my heart, but I didn't expect it to hurt, especially when I saw his gloomy eyes, it made my heart ache even more.

However, I couldn't convince myself.

At that moment, I suddenly heard him speak, and said in a low voice in a hoarse voice, "We can be separated for a while, and I can wait until you change your mindβ€”but no matter what, Qingying, I will not let you leave me again." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You can't leave me!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A sour current of heat came up from the bottom of my heart, and it burned my eyes red, and I immediately closed my eyes to prevent the heat from falling in front of him.

When I closed my eyes, I felt a hot kiss fall on my eyes.

The kiss also seemed to become hot and wet.

I didn't open my eyes, only to hear him sigh softly, then the sound of footsteps walking away, and then the door was gently shut.

I still hadn't opened my eyes, just lying quietly in this quiet space.

A tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

|

After that day, I had a fever intermittently, and because the wounds on my body were treated too late, many places were ulcerated, so I hardly left that room again, and Yao Lao often came to see me with medicine, and he didn't say much.

I spent my days in a drowsy state, and the only thing that was clear was that every time I passed by my door, Han Zitong's resentful gaze always made me feel a little more cold in the warm smell of incense in the room.

It also makes me more sober every time.

In this slow ordeal, our ship finally entered the interior.

On this day, when Yao Lao pulled the silver needle out of my wrist, I heard a cheer outside. Although the sailors and boatmen outside had made a lot of noises before, this time the cheers were a little different.

I heard something, raised my head to look at Yao Lao, only to see him slowly put the silver needle back into his medicine box, and said, "It's time to Jinling." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

I'm still a little apprehensive: "So fast?"

He looked at me and said, "You've been sick all these days, and you haven't gone out to see it?"

"Uh, I'm getting a little seasick when I go out. ”

"Oh......" Yao Lao glanced at me, didn't say anything, and said calmly: "Because Zhoushan opened the way, our ship passed all the way after entering the inland without any obstacles, so-"

That's why it's so fast.

Pei Yuanhao said that he wanted to "give us a ride", which turned out to be such a send-off.

I couldn't help but frown.

These days, I didn't go on deck because I was weak and seasick, because I didn't want to see some people, and it was really because there was no need to face some people and things, but it didn't mean that those people and things wouldn't churn in my mind, especially now, Pei Yuanhao and Pei Yuanxiu were almost within a shot of each other, such a distance.

It's not that I didn't think that they would meet at the two sessions, a son of heaven and an old prince, and the two forces that were completely competing against each other met like this, even if they didn't break the sky, at least there should be a showdown.

But at sea, that duel was forced to die down by Pei Yuanhao's own appearance.

His going to sea cannot but be said to be a not very clever move.

The question is, is Pei Yuanhao a stinky chess player?

He has gone from the status of a prince who has not been crowned a king to today, and it cannot be said that he is all lucky, and the step-by-step and meticulous thinking in this is definitely not what I have seen clearly when I was with him.

Therefore, it is difficult to say how this matter will end this time.

It is unclear whether he is really sending us this way, or whether he has other intentions.

Just when I was thinking in my heart, Yao Lao had already packed up the medicine box, I also reached out and rubbed my arm, and then stood up on the table.

After doing this, he picked up the medicine box and looked up at me.

I looked at him too.

He may not know what is wrong between me and Pei Yuanxiu, after all, after being on the ship for such a long time, although we usually talk and talk as usual, and even when I have a bad appetite, he will ask the kitchen to cook some sour and hot appetizing side dishes, and personally come over to coax me to eat, but no matter how long he stays in my room during the day and what the two of them talk about, when it is time to rest at night, he will still leave my room and go back to his room.

The people on the boat don't have three aunts and six wives, in the end they are all familiar people in Jiangxia Wangfu, looking at their faces and listening to the corners of the wall is a natural ability, the son and the lady don't sleep at night, everyone knows that something is wrong.

Yao Lao came to see me every two days, but he didn't ask a word.

However, at this moment, I looked at him, but I clearly felt that he had something to say, so I stood quietly.

I don't know how long it took to be quiet like this, Yao Lao finally spoke, but his expression and voice were a little gloomy: "Girl." ”

"Hmm. ”

"You and Yuan Xiu - the affairs of your husband and wife, the old man can't manage it, and he can't manage it. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"But no matter what, you are already husband and wife, everything, let's discuss it. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You know, Yuan Xiu still takes care of you very much. ”

"......" I listened quietly, and finally nodded, "I know." ”

He also nodded, then turned and walked out, and seeing that he had already walked to the door, I suddenly said, "Father-in-law." ”

"......!" he stopped and looked back at me.

This title is actually a bit unexpected.

Because since he first met them, he told me that his relationship with Pei Yuanxiu could not be made public, so I didn't call him that on other occasions, but now he suddenly called out, and he looked at me a little stunned.

I stood where I was, thought for a while, and said, "You are an elder, if I, as his wife, refuse to give him a son, in your opinion, is it that my daughter-in-law will not be able to stay?"

Yao Lao was stunned for a moment.

Obviously, the appearance of this question was already unexpected by him, and he looked at me with an expression of disbelief: "You don't want to give him a son?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Why? Didn't you drink decoction every day before you went to sea?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

I looked at his stunned expression, and remembered that I had drunk bitter decoction every day, and was so bitter that I had no appetite to eat anything, and suddenly laughed.

I don't want to say anything.

So, he smiled faintly: "It's not." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"I'm just asking. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Yao Lao was still a little puzzled, but seeing that I didn't plan to continue this topic, he hesitated a little, but as soon as his hand on the door slipped, the door that was originally hidden was opened.

As soon as he turned around, he was stunned for a moment.

I also raised my head and saw Pei Yuanxiu standing at the door, looking at us quietly.

Yao Lao glanced at him, didn't say anything, and walked away from him, and he watched Yao Lao's back disappear at the end of the corridor, and then turned to look at me: "We're going ashore." ”

"Hmm. ”

He stood still in the doorway and held out his hand to me.

I looked at him for a moment, then reached over and put it in his palm.

|

The moment I suddenly walked out of the cabin, I saw the sun overhead, the water on the river was murmuring, and the water ripples reflected the sunlight in countless dazzling sparkling waves, like the stars in the river, shaking people couldn't open their eyes.

I subconsciously reached out and covered my eyes.

Pei Yuanxiu, who was standing beside me, immediately lowered his head and said softly, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's fine, it's just a bit glaring. ”

I rubbed my eyes as I said.

When we looked up again, we saw that the ship that was next to us was also bathed in the sun, perhaps because it was about to enter the harbor, and their hull was washed, and in some places there were still droplets of water, reflecting a colorful halo in the sun.

And in that halo, a somewhat emaciated figure caught my eye.

There were many people standing on the boat, everyone seemed to be cheering for finally coming to the shore, even Wen Fengxi, who was usually not smiling, showed a relaxed expression, but he was the only one, his expression was always faint, and the half of the silver mask also revealed a cold light in the sun.

Beside him, the eldest princess, who had exquisite makeup and seemed to have been specially dressed up, was gently leaning on his arm.

Liu Qinghan did not refuse her approach, lowered his head and said something softly, Pei Yuanzhen immediately raised his face and argued twice, the expression was cold, and even some faint faces showed a helpless expression, and shook his head gently, and Pei Yuanzhen immediately laughed.

The two of them are not married yet, and this is actually a bit too much.

But the people around didn't seem to see it, and it seemed that they were turning a blind eye, and only when Pei Yuanhao came out of the cabin and everyone knelt down, the two separated a little and bowed down.

Pei Yuanxiu also saw the movement on the ship, and then he turned around to look at me.

I leaned on the fence, looked up at the shore, and muttered, "You said before that you have sent the news back, do they all know about it?"

"Of course you know. ”

"She, she'll come to the docks, right?"

"Of course. He said as he walked up to me, reached out and gently touched my shoulder: "Li'er misses you very much." ”

……

I miss her too.

It was still early winter when we went out to sea, and now it is the end of spring when we return to Jinling, and the wind blows with hot air on our faces, and the fishy smell of the river water also penetrates into our noses at any time.

We're back.

Li'er, I'm going to see Li'er!

Thinking of this, the not very high feelings began to be happy.

Slowly, our ship began to turn its head and slowly sailed towards the dock, which was already crowded with people, and in the distance, we saw countless guards and attendants on the pier, all waiting for us in a neat line.

And again, on the other side of the river, there seems to be a noise coming from it.

The arrival of the emperor's ship, the Zhoushan Shui Division, was naturally the first major event in the south of the Yangtze River in these years, and it was not surprising that the people there were full of voices.

However, no matter how big the event is, it can't withstand this moment!

My breathing, which was not very smooth, became even tighter at this moment, and I watched the ship slowly approach the pier like a big mountain, blocking out the sun, and a huge black shadow was cast on the pier inch by inch, and in the midst of the crowd, I saw a slender, thin figure standing there, looking up at us motionless.

Although the haze had covered her weak body, and also covered her face and eyes, I could even see the light flashing in her eyes, at this moment, constantly surging, almost falling!

Leave!

I could hardly suppress my excitement, walked to the side of the boat, and looked eagerly at the little figure, she seemed to feel something, and her two little hands were stretched out above her head to block the sun, and she was also eager to go this way.

But immediately, the man behind her grabbed her arm.

Although my whole energy was on Li'er's body, I immediately recognized the emaciated and sick figure.

Han Ruoshi held Li'er's shoulder with one hand, and raised the other hand above her head, blocking the dazzling sunlight, and I vaguely saw a faint smile on the corner of her slender lips.

At this moment, my hands also became cold.

Pei Yuanxiu turned his head and glanced at me.

Next, everyone didn't speak, after a violent concussion, the boat finally landed steadily, when the sampan on both sides was set up, I couldn't wait to walk over, Pei Yuanxiu couldn't stop it, he could only hold my hand, not let me run too fast, but I still stumbled over, and the moment I stepped on the solid land, the whole person stumbled and almost fell.

As soon as he barely stood firmly, he heard Li'er's crying voice in front of me.

"Mother!"

As soon as I looked up, a soft, small body had already thrown itself into my arms.

I was knocked by Li'er and almost fell, but immediately reached out and hugged her, feeling the small, warm body filling my entire embrace, feeling her twitching shoulders, and the little face buried in my chest, and in a moment the wet feeling soaked through my clothes.

She cried and shouted: "Mother, mother......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

I couldn't speak, but I slowly pulled my two hands on her back and hugged her into my arms.

At this moment, I can't care about how many people are landing on the big boat behind me, how many people are looking at us on this dock, and I can't care about Han Ruoshi, who is standing not far away, the smile on her face is slightly stiff, especially when she sees me and Han Zitong walking down, she doesn't even seem to have the strength to walk over...... And this qiΔ“ is nothing to me, as long as I feel the breath of this child in my arms and know that she is fine, then any suffering that has happened around the qiΔ“ is nothing.

I don't know how long it took, Pei Yuanxiu had been standing silently beside us, and finally spoke at this time: "Qingying, we-"

Before he could finish his words, he saw me raise my hand and hit Li'er hard.

The snap was not light, and it made the onlookers around stunned.

Li'er was beaten by me and trembled, but her hands still held me and refused to let go.

I gritted my teeth and raised my hand to hit her again.

After several strokes in a row, I don't know if she was in pain or not, but I myself was so painful that even my heartbeat began to twitch, and when the Han sisters next to me finally couldn't stand it anymore, they walked up together and pulled the child out of my arms, Li'er was already in tears, and her eyes were red from crying.

Han Zitong yelled at me angrily: "What's the big deal?!"

Pei Yuanxiu also took my hand: "Qingying, don't be angry first, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we go back." ”

Li'er was already crying a little breathless, her face was swollen and red, she still kept crying, holding the corner of my clothes in her hand, aggrieved and pitiful, Han Zitong obviously hadn't seen her cry like this, she was uncomfortable first, and looked back at me: "You have the strength to beat your daughter now, what did you do in the first place? If it weren't for you, who are not responsible as a mother, will Li'er be lost?"

At this time, Han Ruoshi stepped forward, pulled her arm, and said softly: "Zitong, don't say that." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"It's me who is not good, it's me who went out with Li'er, and I didn't take a good look at her. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"It's all my fault. ”

"What's wrong with you?!" Han Zitong was so angry that his voice became sharp, and he said fiercely: "You are still a girl, and you have not become a biological child." Hmph, when Li'er followed us before, nothing happened, but as soon as my mother came, she kept having accidents. ”

"Don't scold my mother!"

Just when I gritted my teeth, but didn't say a word, I just stared coldly at their sisters - to be exact, staring at Han Ruoshi, as soon as she raised her head and met my gaze, suddenly her pale face was not even a little bloody, as if she saw something terrifying, and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid me, and at this time, Li'er suddenly broke free, threw herself into my arms again, and cried: "It's not good to leave your child, it's Li'er who worries your mother!"

I was out of breath, and if Li'er hadn't held me like this, I would have even suspected that I would not be able to stand steadily, and after a while, I reached out and gently stroked her arm.

Tears wet my clothes again, and I felt a chill on my chest, which made me shrink a little.

And at this moment, all the people around them let out a cry of panic.

I looked up, and I couldn't come back to my senses, when I saw that the men were all staring behind us with wide eyes, as if they had seen something incredible, and even some of the guards and attendants closest to the outer edge of the dock were all shouting and retreating.

The river, the wind, the cold.

I felt a huge shadow hanging over our heads, slowly enveloping us, the entire pier.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After a moment of apprehension, I slowly turned around.

I saw that on the river, the huge dragon boat that had been parallel to us was turning its bow at this moment and headed towards the pier on our side, like a huge mountain, towering in front of our eyes, until it approached the clouds.

And as soon as I looked up, I saw the ninety-five supreme above the ten thousand people on the bow of the ship, looking at us condescendingly with his hands on his back.

Look at the departed child in my arms.
