Chapter 18: Sugar

The maidservant sent me into a small room, which was very warm with a brazier, full of hot water, and a light white dress beside it...... It seems that he has been ready for a long time..... He knew that I would come.

The maidservants didn't pay attention to me, they just stood outside the door, whispering something, as if to say, how can the lord of the city be so noble, how can he bring back such a lowly person as me......

I, deaf and deaf.

I withdrew from my blood-stained clothes, stepped into the tub, and enjoyed the warmth of it, which I could barely remember as soft as I could remember, and I fell asleep here......

I dreamed of a man who had no arms and his empty sleeves fluttering in the wind like a pair of wings...... He dragged his tired and seriously injured body to a city covered in green smoke, where the long streets were dilapidated, the houses were dilapidated, like a dead city, and I saw him break into the ruined house, like a ghost, like a beast, viciously trampling those zombies under his feet, and then lying on the ground, picking up the cyan and scaly elixirs that fell from the zombies' hands with his mouth...... The smoke was misty, and I couldn't see his face clearly, but when I looked at his clumsy way of picking up pills, I felt that he was so helpless...... I was about to rush forward to help him, but a warm hand took hold of my shoulder, and I suddenly turned around and saw the three maidservants......

My hot heartbeat slowly subsided, and this time I found myself awakened from my dream...... I often dream of that unclear face, but I often can't remember what he was doing in my dreams...... I'm a little curious about this dream regular......

"Why are you so careless that you can fall asleep in a shower?" A handmaid said impatiently.

I ignored them, stepped out of the tub, wiped myself clean, and put on the clean, soft white clothes.

Behind me came the sneering of the maidservants, but luckily they didn't say anything, otherwise I was afraid that I would not be able to control myself and break their hearts......

I looked down and saw the puddle under my feet and saw my own face...... Normally, this face is reflected in a pool of blood......

The three maidservants were packing up my old clothes, and I hurried over to find the dagger that the white jade had given me...... But nothing was found...... Did you lose it when you were on the street......

Two handmaidens came to support me: "Let's go, the city lord is in a hurry." "They dragged me to the east from the palace...... It's okay, anyway, I don't have much determination to kill him, even if Bai Yu punishes me, the wound will always heal itself, and I can come back from the dead, right?

The tall black wooden door, which was inlaid with gold wire, opened slowly, and twenty paces in front of it was carved a huge and strange flower, the petals of which were as thin as a needle, but as flexible as a snake, and the center of the flower seemed to grow a steady stream of petals. Under that wall of flowers, Dongfang looked at me with his arms half-kneeled on the table and smiling...... His smile was languid but charming, and the fireflies clinged to the six stout pillars that supported the palace, emitting a light golden light, and I don't know when I entered the palace, and when I turned back, the maid had already left, and the door was closed.

"You don't have to go back tonight." He stood up with a smile, and the dagger that Bai Yu had given me appeared on his desk...... I suddenly became nervous...... He walked slowly towards me, and I just wanted to escape...... He was so good to me, but I wanted to kill him, he must have thought that I was a man of revenge...... When I turned to push open the door of the palace, he stood behind me like the wind, and the door that had just opened a crack was slammed shut, and my fingers were about to crush the wooden doorknob, but the door was still standing......

"What are you running?" He asked calmly.

I saw his shadow and mine pasting together.

"You see the dagger......" I said to him, gripping the doorknob tightly.

However, he hugged me gently, I was not used to him being so close to me, it was a strange feeling, but I did not push him away......

"It's Bai Yu who wants to kill me, not you...... I will marry you and leave the stone castle with dignity. ”

His tone was calm, and my heart was gently touched, like a soft foam, gently against my heart......

"Bai Yu is scheming, relying on her own credit for calming the civil strife in Jiangbei, she is indispensable, and the king of Northern Chu has long looked at her unpleasantly...... It's just that the dead soldiers in the stone castle are worth more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the king is reluctant...... In addition, over the years, Bai Yu has not done anything out of the ordinary, and the king is not easy to do to her. ”

"What do you mean to marry me?" I've been in Stone Castle, and I don't know much about the world, but I know that this word is not something that can be easily spoken.

The tip of his nose was gently close to my ear, and whispered to me, "Just to make you a part of my life......" He hugged me tighter and tighter, I became more and more uncomfortable, I couldn't help it, my elbow poked back into his chest, he let go of me, I heard him a soft cry of pain...... I quickly turned around, leaned against the door and said nervously, "I don't like you to hold me like this......"

His footsteps froze in front of me, and I looked up at him cautiously, and he just smiled and stuffed a candy in my mouth.......
