Chapter 001: Something Happened
More than once I woke up from a dream filled with the gentle and urgent cries of my mother.
Luan, Luan.
Don't blame him.
I reached out blankly, only to feel that the pillow was soaking wet.
Another dream.
I had everything in my dreams, but I woke up and there was no one around.
Green Grapefruit touched my bed and eagerly asked me if I was having another nightmare.
The room was lit and empty.
Midori looked at me with some distress in her eyes, and explained to me that the regent was just on his own business, and went out overnight.
I don't really hear much of her nonsense.
For half a year, day and night, all I heard was this kind of consolation, which was not even a lie.
I came out of my daze and reached out and pressed my eyebrows.
My name is Chen Jin'an, I am cautious in my words and deeds, and I am in Chang'an.
I heard that when I was born, there was a vision in the sky, which was a good sign, and whether it was true or not, people believed this rumor.
Therefore, my father named me Princess Chang'an, the only princess with a title.
The scenery used to be infinite and echoed, but now it ......
"Princess, it's time to go back, the emperor has been talking about it these days."
Green Grapefruit put on my clothes and whispered.
A 'princess' knocked me back to reality.
Even if I visited Pei Yousheng and became relatives, few people still knew about my relationship with him.
Because no one would have thought that on the day of the wedding of the dignified regent Pei Yousheng, the bride would be replaced.
Yes, his bride was never supposed to be me, but the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and my father was just playing with Li Dai Taozhuang.
The sound of beating outside sounded, and Green Grapefruit changed my clothes.
Before dawn, I will return to the palace before anyone else finds out, beware of such absurd and ridiculous facts.
The unparalleled Princess Chang'an is just a gorgeous chess piece.
In the past few years, the regent's voice has become higher and higher, his position is high and powerful, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and my father and the emperor are panicked after all.
As usual, I pushed the door open, only to be pushed by a force mixed with the smell of alcohol.
Pei Yousheng stood in front of me, and behind him was the endless cool night, looking at me coldly.
"Where's the Minlan people?"
His voice was mellow and cold, and his face was like a knife, with a compelling aura.
It's just that those dark eyes are not focused.
I had only taken a few steps before he staggered around my waist and threw me back on the bed.
"I don't know."
I tried to get up, but my clothes were torn apart.
Gu Minlan is the person who should be the regent princess, the eldest daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, a noble daughter in the capital, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she didn't expect to be kidnapped by my father on the wedding night, and her whereabouts are unknown.
The door was wide open, and a cold wind whizzed in.
I was ashamed and angry, "Uncle Wang, please respect yourself." ”
Midoriyu's face turned red and he tried to come in, but he was put on his neck with a knife by the guards outside, and he couldn't save me at all.
"Self-respect?"
He was different from usual, and his voice was cold and wild when he laughed, "Why didn't you mention these two words when you came to climb the bed for her?" ”
I didn't know what he was crazy about, the cold wind blew me cold, and the placket on my chest could only cover most of the spring light, but it was still disheveled.
"What? Uncle Wang repented and wanted to taste the taste of a woman? ”
I didn't retreat but advanced, I raised my chin in the same sarcasm, didn't care about my messy clothes, and looked at him defiantly with half propped up on the bed.
I thought that it would be good to live a respectful life, but it was destined to be impossible, and the person between me and him was always an unknown Gu Minlan.
It's just that even I don't know where this Gu Minlan is.
I only know that a man who holds the power of the army and looks down on a man for a lifetime, regardless of the situation, privately uses troops all over the corner to find a woman.
But to no avail.
Pei Yousheng pinched my neck, the smell of wine on his body was more domineering than the momentum, and his lips were all in that kind of thin arc.
"What does it taste like to be a woman?"
He suddenly laughed and sniffed at my neck.
This sudden intimacy made me nervous all over.
He had never touched me, let alone made such a transgression, and my body was tense like a dead fish, but I still had to fight the situation.
Drunk, he was more difficult to deal with than usual.
"Someone! Don't hurry up and hold on to the prince! ”
I turned my head away from him and yelled at the door.
No one listened to my scolding, and the people in the palace here were all loyal to their lives.
"I said, Wen Lan can't find it, you all have to be buried with her, you better be glad that she is still alive."
Pei Yousheng leaned into my ear and said, thin lips brushing my ears.
It's obviously a gentle and plain tone, but the words that can come out of his mouth make me feel cold in my bones.
I had a bad feeling and it was getting stronger.
I desperately want to go back to the palace now.
The smell of alcohol was so strong that I was even a little drunk, and my earlobe was bitten off guard.
The numb feeling made my body tremble, a very strange and strange feeling, but I didn't reject it, he didn't get up, he still half supported me, biting my earlobe with his teeth.
It was extremely beautiful, and my body was hot and uneasy.
But in the next second, he got up, lazily tied his loose clothes, his eyes were clear, and he stood beside the bed and stared at me coldly.
Commanded to the outside world, "To the princess...... Oh, no, change the clothes of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and it's time to go back to the palace to see her one last time. ”
The eldest princess?
What happened just now seemed to be just a dream, and I couldn't understand what he was saying at the moment.
The people who were instructed moved quickly, and I was like a marionette that was quickly packed up and pushed forward.
How could he accompany me back to the palace?
Every day and every night, I waited for the empty room, guarded my duty as a serious wife, waited for the dawn to secretly return to the palace, and became my princess again.
He didn't want to see me, so how could he accompany me back to expose this relationship.
He once said that this relationship disgusted him, and if it weren't for the princess's status, he would have killed me dirty.
"Back to the palace...... What are you doing when you go back to the palace? ”
My calm voice leaked tremors.
Not only him, but also people in full armor behind him, followed behind us, as if they were going out to fight, and they were raging.
Pei Yousheng rode on the horse, looked down at me, and his voice was casual and sarcastic, "Chen Xinye is obsessed with seeking immortals and asked, now that his body is broken, I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive tonight, shouldn't you, as his favorite daughter, take a look?" ”
I always felt that the sarcasm in his 'favorite' was heavier.
But the impact of the whole sentence is far more violent than the mockery.
I know very well his hatred for my father, otherwise I wouldn't have called him by his first name.
"Impossible!" I subconsciously said, clenching my fists against my knees, "Father would not do such a thing!" ”
Trembling all over.
No one knows my father better than me, he loves power and will be more in awe of power, how can he be stupid to believe in the so-called elixir and bury his own life.
But no one paid attention to me, and I looked at Pei Yousheng in disbelief.
"My father treats you well!" I said sharply, angry and didn't even bother to add a name, "Why are you ......?"
"Not thin?"
He smiled even more coldly, "Isn't the world of the Chen family still bought with my blood, do you think a title can be smoothed out?" ”
"Dreaming."
My words were choked, and looking at the originally cold and indifferent person, there was a sense of strangeness.
He is the only prince with a different surname, when he was almost killed on the battlefield in the border guards, someone took the opportunity to slander, saying that his whereabouts were unknown, and framed him as an enemy spy, which led to the Pei family's beheading.
When he was victorious and returned bloody, his father was named regent in order to appease him, the only prince with a different surname.
I thought the hatred was over, but I didn't expect it to be just the beginning.
At the beginning of the day, his back was straight and arrogant, and he calmly led the soldiers and horses forward.
On the way into the palace, the road was unobstructed, and the eerie silence brought my uneasiness to its peak.
Father's ...... Is something really wrong?
