Chapter 54: Beast-Faced Terror (2)
What's coming? I looked up in the moonlight and saw a man and a woman walking not far away. The man wore a silk dark brown robe, with a slender figure and a handsome face; The woman wore a crimson wrapping skirt, and her long hair was tied up to reveal her beautiful neck, and her complexion was excellent.
Who are they? Why do you come to my garden at night?
"Hongyao, do you really want to marry him?" As soon as the man opened his mouth, he startled me, could the woman in front of me be the noble girl I saw yesterday, my future mother?!
"Shaokang, what are you taking me here for? In this courtyard now lives the stupid clan girl of the Wu family, if she sees the two of us together and passes it to Father Qing and Ah Niang, they will skin you! Hongyao glanced at the room where I was sleeping, and saw that the lights were dim, so he pressed his chest and said to the man in a soothing tone, "I have a marriage contract now, you and I should not see each other again in the future." ”
"Hongyao, you have not been close to him since you were a child, why do you want to marry him now? I will go to-morrow and beg Dr. Baili to agree to our marriage. The man held the red medicine and put it to his lips and kissed it incessantly, his tone was excited and almost hoarse, "The plum blossoms in this yard were all planted by us back then, and now the flowers are just right, but do you want to break your oath and marry someone else?" ”
"Shaokang ......" Hongyao's face showed a look of helplessness, she forcefully pulled her hand out of the man's palm, and said coldly, "What kind of identity are you, do you still need me to remind you again?" Although you and I have affection, it is destined to be fruitless. I am the daughter of the Baili family, the nephew of the monarch, how can I marry into your Witt family. Besides, Father Qing has always been at odds with the prince, and your Lou family is fighting against the prince's power. This time, your father also pushed to send your sister to the house as a wife, which has annoyed your father, if you dare to mention anything about asking for marriage, you don't want to live. ”
"You want me to give you to him willingly, I can't do it!" Lou Shaokang's face sank, and he slammed his fist on the plum tree.
"I understand your intentions, but this matter is a foregone conclusion, and you have forgotten everything before......"
After Hongyao finished speaking, she lowered her head and cried, her crying frightened the man at a loss, so he had to hold her in his arms and love her in every way: "Hongyao, I'll take you away." On the day of the king's sacrifice, I will wait for you ......"
"I won't go with you...... the two of them spent the moon before and after, and they were in love with each other, but my face was already red, and I couldn't wait to find a hole to get into.
"What a pair of crazy men and women, why are there so many people crying tonight?" The person behind me whispered softly to my ear.
"Stay away from me!" I reached out and rubbed my ears, "How did you know they were coming?" ”
"I know my own way, if your mother treats you badly in the future, you can use today's things as a handle."
"I won't get married!" My tone is resolute, no matter which nobleman this red medicine lady marries, I am not uncommon.
When the two people under the flower tree hugged each other, I hurriedly broke free from the clamps behind me and jumped out, panting for breath to relieve the embarrassment and tension in my heart.
"Do you know what I planned to do before I came today?" The beast-faced man walked slowly in front of me with his hands behind his back.
"What are you going to do?" I asked as I evened my breath and looked up.
"I'm going to ......"
He suddenly leaned forward and took out a silver-white dagger from behind him and put it on my neck, "I'm going to let you go if you can't give me the answer I want; If you give me a plan to save the country, I will kill you with one sword. It's just that I didn't expect that you could play with the three big countries in just a few words, and I really can't keep you with such a person! ”
His dark eyes reflected my pale face, sadness, helplessness, fear, despair, and I slowly closed my eyes.
The cold blade cut through my skin, and the pain was sharp, and a warm liquid slowly ran down my neck.
Time, as if frozen in this moment. The expected death did not come, a cold hand gently covered my eyes, and then something warm and moist pressed against my lips. I was so shocked that I held my breath, and my heart was beating wildly and almost popping out of my chest.
He took off his mask and kissed me!
My eyes were firmly covered by him, and I couldn't see anything, the only thing I could feel was his heavy, rapid breathing and the faintly familiar scent.
"Don't open your eyes, I'm afraid I'll regret my decision now." His hoarse voice rang in my ears.
"You're not going to kill me?" His hand gently removed from my eyes, and I asked coldly with my eyes closed.
"Don't lie down under the tree alone to sleep after drinking in the future, no one will carry you back to the room again." As soon as he finished speaking, I opened my eyes, and saw a black figure standing on a high wall, and soon disappeared into the night.
What really happened last night?
If it weren't for the deep blood on my neck, I would have thought that what happened last night was just a drunken illusion on my part. I sat on the bed caressing my wound, thoughts racing through my head. If he had stabbed any deeper, I would have died. But why did he change his mind in the end? And why kiss me?
Just when I was confused, the fat girl pushed the door and walked in: "Noble girl, look, who am I bringing here!" ”
I looked up and saw Si'er standing in the morning light in a navy blue jacket.
"Si'er-" I didn't have time to put on my shoes and socks, so I ran out of bed barefoot and hugged her tightly, "Why are you only back now, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
"Something happened at home, and on the way back, there was heavy snow blocking the mountain, so it was late. Quick, let me see you, but you haven't eaten well and you're losing weight? Si'er looked up at me with a smile, and after just one glance, her bright smile disappeared completely, "What's wrong with you?" What's wrong with the eyes? What happened to the neck? ”
When she asked me this, I reacted, took a look in the mirror, and startled myself. His eyes were swollen like apricots, and there was a long strip of blood on his neck, no wonder Si'er was stupid on the spot.
"I'm fine." I rubbed my eyes and smiled awkwardly.
"It's all the noble girl from Baili Mansion, it's good, I have to say in front of everyone that our noble girl is a mountain ghost, and I also scolded the noble girl for being a pariah." The fat girl couldn't help but count it next to her.
"Fat girl, don't add to the blockage here, you go and help me see the two little girls next door, why haven't you woken up at this hour?" I pushed the fat girl and motioned for her to go out first.
"Lady, what's wrong with your neck? Oh my God, you didn't look for it last night! I knew I shouldn't go home, you couldn't—" The fat girl turned blue with fright at the sight of the scar on my neck, and the howl shook me to a splitting headache.
"I don't want to die, you go out first, don't talk nonsense." I pushed the fat girl out, turned around and closed the door again.
