cpa300_4(); I almost subconsciously took a step back.

For a moment, the expression on his face flickered as if it were flickering with the candle flames that were suddenly blown by the wind around him, but immediately he regained his calm, as if the flickering silence was just my delusion.

He said slowly, "I said, you don't have to be afraid. ”

“……”

"I won't hurt you. ”

I took a deep breath and finally found my voice, and although it was trembling terribly, I still asked, "What did you call me for?"

“…… I want to see you. ”

“……”

"I also want to meet our daughter. ”

“……”

"But I know you're sick, and Liu San'er sent the child to town. ”

“……”

I shouldn't be surprised that our lives are under his control, which he can easily do, but when I know that our every move is under his surveillance, and even the hugs and intimacy between me and Liu San'er are also in his sight, I feel scared.

However, he didn't look angry or angry in the slightest, but said calmly: "You come in." ”

“……”

"It's cold outside. ”

I shuddered, and finally walked in slowly.

The room was very warm, the light smoke rose from the incense burner in the corner, and I could even smell a faint fragrance on the tip of my nose, but I didn't feel warmed at all, only shivered, and the fingertips hidden in my sleeves held hard, and the closer I got to him, the more cold I felt.

He walked over to the table, then looked back at me, "Sit down." ”

“……”

I slowly walked over to him and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, a group of maids walked in from outside with trays in their hands, and on the trays were delicate dishes, exuding a strong and rich aroma.

While the maids were distributing vegetables, he looked at me and said, "I know that your health is not good, and you must not have taken good care of yourself after giving birth, Liu San'er - he is so poor, and he can't afford to buy good medicinal herbs to give you tonic, that's why your face is so pale." ”

As he spoke, he reached over and put his hand on the back of my hand on the table.

"My hands are so cold. ”

As if I had been pricked by a needle, I pulled my hand back at once.

He glanced at me, but said nothing, and the maids around seemed to see nothing, and when they had finished making the dishes, they gave us a gentle blessing, and then they all turned and left.

He smiled and said, "Let's eat something." ”

“……”

"I know, you haven't eaten yet. ”

As he spoke, he had already picked up a bowl and began to serve the soup, the bowl of milky white, steaming soup was exuding a strong fragrance, I don't know how long it had been simmering, and I could smell several medicinal herbs just by smelling the smell.

For a frail person like me, this is indeed an endless temptation.

He filled half the bowl and brought it to me: "Drink it." ”

I looked at him, but he didn't move.

Facing Pei Yuanhao, don't talk about eating, I can control myself not to faint, not to go crazy, not to collapse in front of him, I have exhausted all my strength, if I still want to eat, I am afraid that I will vomit on the spot.

He glanced at me, only paused, and his voice sank a little: "Drink it." ”

I shook my head.

I'm not here to get together with you, nor am I here to relive your old dreams, between me and you, I can't play that kind of affectionate drama, if this is a nightmare, then you will unveil this layer of calm as soon as possible.

He looked at me silently, looked at me for a long time, narrowed his eyes slightly, and just when I thought he was about to tear apart the mask of peace and be angry, he suddenly came up to me, picked up the bowl of soup, scooped some with a spoon and gently blew it cold, and brought it to my mouth: "Drink it." ”

“……！”

I stared at him with wide eyes that bordered on horror.

The soup had already cooled a little, and the warm soup dipped in the spoon and touched my lips, but it was as hot as fire, and I shivered.

He looked at me without blinking: "Do you want me to feed you, or do you want to drink it yourself." ”

“……”

"Pick one. ”

“……”

I only felt uncomfortable suffocation in my chest, and he stood in front of me like this, which made me unable to breathe, I froze for a moment, and finally reached out and took the soup bowl: "I'll drink it myself." ”

“……”

His face softened slightly, and he watched me pick up the spoon and take a sip of soup slowly, with a faint smile on his face, and then walked back to his seat and sat down, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "That's right." ”

……

After drinking the bowl of soup under his watchful eye, I ate some more things, and each bite was like swallowing a piece of red-hot coal, and I only felt as if my internal organs were about to be boiled dry, and when I swallowed the last bite of food, I almost vomited.

But I swallowed it with all my strength.

Sitting across from me, he looked at me with an almost gentle gaze, and the smile on his face deepened as I finished eating the contents of the bowl.

He said, "You are right, so that your body will be fine." ”

“……”

"I don't want to see you hurt anymore. ”

“……”

I looked up at him with a pale face.

What's next? What is he going to do?

To ruin all my lives, all my dreams, just like I did in the moment before I left the palace, or-

Just as all kinds of terrible thoughts kept churning through his mind, he said, "Go back and have a good rest, and I will pick you up tomorrow." ”

“……”

My breath choked.

What did he say?

He told me to go back and rest?

Tomorrow, and tomorrow?

Seeing that he had already stood up, and as soon as he clapped his hands, the maids went into the room again to pack up their things, and they briskly cleaned up all the cups and plates, while he and I stood on either side of the empty round table, facing each other without a word.

I finally couldn't help it, and said tremblingly, "What the hell are you going to do?"

What the hell are you going to do to me?

Beneath your smile and gentleness, how many weapons are hidden to hurt me?

You sue me, all sue me!

He stood calmly on the other side of the round table, not far away, not so close, as if he could not get close, and as if he could not escape his shackles, I listened to his breathing stagnate for a moment, and then slowly, for a long time. After a long time, he said, "I want to see you tomorrow." ”

I was sent back to Jixiang Village by his men in a horse-drawn carriage.

Not far from the entrance of the village, I got out of the carriage by myself, and after taking two steps, I ran to a tree by the side of the road, and with a whoop vomited all the things I had eaten before.

I almost vomited bile, and I was so uncomfortable that I broke out in a cold sweat, and my eyes were a little black.

Holding on to the tree, I stood for a while before I could barely stand up straight, stumbling back, and as soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I heard a familiar voice calling me in front of me: "Light!"

I looked up and saw Liu San'er running towards me in a hurry.

He walked up to me and said anxiously, "Where have you been?" I went home and there was no one, so I went to ask the neighbors, and they all said they didn't see you, and they frightened me. Where have you been?"

“……”

"You, why do you look so ugly?" he said, reaching out and touching my forehead, and immediately shocked: "There are so many cold sweats! What's wrong with you?"

“……”

"Lightness?!"

I looked at him blankly, looking at his anxious appearance, but for some reason, all the tension and suffocation before were eased at this moment.

I smiled at him palely, "I'm fine, it's just—it's stuffy at home, I'll go out for a walk." ”

"And said it's okay, your face is so ugly!"

As he spoke, he took one hand on my arm and the other around my back and held me in his arms: "Come home with me!

I was held in his arms, step by step back, I felt those hands, hot on my arms, as if on fire, although a little hot, but at this moment all the coldness and fear in my heart were dispelled. I slowly raised my head, looking at him as if he was also in a cold sweat, and the deep folds in the center of his eyebrows, each of which looked so nervous.

But I couldn't help but laugh.

When I returned home, I saw that he had brought Li'er back, but this girl was probably full of food and drink at the eldest sister in the town, and as soon as she got home, she fell asleep again.

I sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the child's defenseless, innocent sleeping face, and I only felt that the tenderness of my arms was almost overflowing.

And at this time, a warm thing stuck to my face, I was stunned for a moment, turned my head to look, but Liu San'er was wiping my face with a handkerchief that was **** by warm/water, and met my somewhat dazed eyes, he sighed lightly and said: "You are also so old, you are the mother of the child, why are you still so unable to take care of yourself?"

“……”

"What if I hadn't come to you today, if you passed out on the side of the road?"

“……”

"I'm still a human mother. ”

“……”

Listening to him as if he was training a child, but with a resentful tone, I didn't know why, but I only looked at him softly, and the tenderness in my chest, which was already full, was surging like a tide at the moment, slapping my originally frozen heart, and I couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

At the end, he poked my forehead hard with a towel: "Don't do this again!"

“……”

"Did you hear me?"

“…… I heard it. ”

I confessed my mistake like a child, and he couldn't help but laugh, shook his head slightly, picked up the basin, got up and walked out.

Just as he walked to the door, I suddenly couldn't help but call him: "San'er-"

He stopped and looked back at me, "Huh?"

At that moment, there were so many words churning in my heart.

I am the emperor's woman, I used to be the emperor's woman, our daughter, in fact, the princess of the royal family.

Liu San'er, let's go together.

Get out of here, this man's control, let's go live somewhere else!

Or, let's go to Shudi, and when we get there, he can't shackle me like this anymore!

……

All these words were churning in my heart, but just as I was about to say them, I suddenly saw through the wooden door that he had pushed open, and a figure flashed in the distance outside our courtyard.

It was only for a moment, but I saw it clearly.

It was Pei Yuanhao's entourage.

Suddenly, a basin of cold water poured down on my head, drenching me from head to toe.

I almost forgot that although I wanted to escape from him, but now we are completely under his control, and our every move, even our words and deeds, are under his control of his ears and eyes, and if I had the intention of escaping, I might have been caught by him before I escaped.

As soon as I thought of this, all the words were swallowed by me.

Liu San'er stood there and was still talking to me, but when he saw my face sink again, he said with a slight doubt: "Light, what's wrong, what are you going to say?"

“……”

I glanced at him in a hurry and gently tilted my head: "No, it's nothing." ”

He shook his head with a smile and said, "If you're tired, you can go and rest for a while." I'll call you when Li'er wakes up. ”

“…… Well. ”

"Let's go and rest. ”

I sat on the edge of the bed and watched dumbfounded as he walked out and closed the door.

The sun, too, seemed to be cut off from my world all of a sudden.

|

In the next few days, almost every day, Pei Yuanhao would send someone to pick me up at home.

Those people came at a very accurate time, and every time Liu San'er left to go to the town to get medicine for me, they came. Of course, I know that it is because they are monitoring my and Liu San'er's every move at all times, so they will pick me up at the best time every day and send me back at the most appropriate time.

It's just that I don't understand, what the hell is he going to do?

If I hate me for pretending to be dead and hating me for marrying someone else, he will be furious and even execute me and Liu San'er, which is also something he can do as the Ninth Five-Year Supreme;

But he didn't.

He didn't even have any signs of a showdown with Liu San'er, but he took me to his manor every day, or to eat, or drink, or to drink tea, and even listen to the opera troupe he invited to sing an excerpt.

But always, there is nothing to deal with us.

But the more this happened, the more frightened I became, for I distinctly remembered how he had crushed my hopes when I wanted to leave the palace with all my hopes.

Thinking of this, my hand trembled, the cup was already warm, and even some hot medicinal wine immediately spilled out and spilled onto the back of my hand.

"Ahh

I let out a low cry and hurriedly threw away the cup, the back of my hand already burning with pain.

Sitting across the table, he immediately got up and walked over, took my hand, saw a large red patch on it, immediately frowned, and said loudly: "Someone!"

I subconsciously said, "No, I'm fine." ”

"No way!"

He looked at my hand, his brows were twisted into a pimple, and he turned around and said, "Don't hurry up!"

The attendants around had already seen it, and immediately came over, hurriedly sent cold water, ointment, and gauze, Pei Yuanhao grabbed my hand and put it into a copper basin filled with cold water, the water was cold, in such a cold weather, I immediately shivered, but it made the hot pain on the back of my hand feel better.

And his hand, still clinging to mine, was also soaked in cold water.

The place where his skin was touched was not burned by the hot wine, but it was just as hot.

Today, he took me to his manor again, saying that he had sent me a good medicinal wine, which could be heated and drunk, which could ward off the cold and soothe my winter chills, and I originally only planned to obediently pour a few glasses to make him satisfied, so that I could go home earlier, even if I got home and vomited it out like every time before, who knows-

The place he touched became hotter and hotter, and I became more and more uneasy, and subconsciously struggled.

He immediately said, "Don't move!"

“……”

After a long while, his hands were frozen white with cold water, and then he scooped up my hands, and the water was drenched, and his fingertips were already cold, and he took the towel from the servant next to him, and carefully wiped the water from my hands.

Then apply medicine and bandage.

After doing this, he raised his head and looked at me: "Does it still hurt?"

“……”

I didn't know what to say, so I shook my head slightly.

He immediately smiled faintly, and the attendants who served next to him, although they had always said a word respectfully, but at this time, several people seemed to be secretly relieved.

"Go down, all of you. ”

As soon as he spoke, the men retreated.

He and I were the only ones left in the big room, and the small stove in the center of the table was warming the wine, making a gurgling sound.

For a moment, it was strangely quiet.

He didn't return to his previous seat, but sat next to me, holding my injured hand and not letting go, gently stroking the bandage: "Why are you, so easily injured?"

“……”

"It's always so scarred, how can I rest assured?"

My heart skipped a beat.

When I came to this manor today, as soon as I entered the door, I saw that the attendants were busy inside and out, as if they were packing up their things, and when I heard his words, I suddenly felt something.

Is he leaving?

After all, he is the emperor and the master of the world, and it is impossible for him to stay in this small mountain village all the time, and there are too many national affairs that he needs to return to Beijing to deal with.

So, he's leaving!

Will he let me go?

Or do you want to forcibly take me and Li'er with you?

What the hell is he going to do?

I looked at him cautiously, only to see that he was looking at my hand intently, and his fingers were not exposed by gauze, because the weather was too cold, his fingertips were frozen white, cold as ice, and he slowly held my fingers tightly and protected them in his palm.

I shuddered, and became more and more cautious: "Thank you...... Emperor. ”

He said again: "If I leave this time, I won't go down to Jiangnan again for a long time." ”

“…… The emperor should put state affairs first. ”

"It's a pity that the good scenery of Jiangnan. ”

"The scenery of the capital is also infinitely good. ”

As he listened, the corners of his lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he looked at me and said, "Do you also miss the scenery of the capital?"
