When consciousness wakes up,. The voice in her head was still faintly echoing in her ears, and someone called her Nian'er and said a lot of strange things to him, but she couldn't remember him anyway. Could it be that I just had a dream within a dream?

She slowly opened her eyes, it was dark in front of her, and she thought it should be late at night. She moved, only to find that an arm in her chest was pressing down on her breath.

In a fit of rage, she reached out and pushed the pesky arm down, but it alarmed the people lying next to her.

The man sat up quickly, then quickly got up and lit the candle on the low table beside the bed, and then turned back to the bed in astonishment. I saw that the person who was called by him every day but refused to wake up was looking at him with big eyes at the moment.

He slapped himself hard in disbelief, only to be overwhelmed with joy when he felt a sharp pain.

Hua Mian couldn't help but laugh out loud as she watched his funny behavior.

This sneer was like a heavenly sound, which made Pei Gongcuo's soul tremble. If it's really not a dream, the person who has been thinking about it is now alive in front of him, he hugged her into his arms fiercely, and said hatefully: "You dare to laugh, do you know how I came over these days?" I'm afraid you'll never wake up again, I'm afraid I'll never see your smile again in my lifetime, so I can only spend the rest of my life in this unconscious body. But you are so heartless that you laugh at me. ”

Although these words sounded a little numb, Hua Mian was still slightly moved. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Can you not hold it so tightly?" I'm going to run out of breath. ”

Only then did Pei Gongcuo let her go slightly, stared at her up and down, and said, "The national teacher said that your soul has been attached to someone else, how did you get out of that body?" ”

Hua Mian couldn't help but be stunned, if it was really as he said, then he was not doing what he was doing about a so-called dream within a dream, but something real. In other words, her soul really entered the body of a woman named Nian'er. But that feeling was very weird, and it always felt too unreal, so she casually lied: "It's not the first time that my soul has left my body, but this time it ran a little off and entered the body of a dying person, and then I didn't come back when that person died?" ”

Pei Gong said clearly: "I see, I am worried in vain." Shaoqing, he seemed to think of something again, "You said that this is not the first time that your soul has left your body?" ”

"yes."

"Then have you ever had a soul leave your body after being kidnapped by Pei Qijun?"

"Yes. I've been back to you twice. When the words fell, Hua Mian said strangely, "How do you know?" ”

Pei Gongcuo couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard this, but the light and shadow flashed in his mind, and his face turned cold in an instant: "How do I know?" Because I heard you scold me. ”

"Is there one?" Hua Mian muttered, "Why don't I remember? What did I scold you? ”

Pei Gongcuo snorted angrily and said, "You call me a big fool." ”

Hua Mian thought about it seriously, it seemed that there was such a thing, at that time he thought he had escaped, and what did he say, "You want to escape from me, I am not as good as you want, after I capture you, I will definitely tie you to your side inch by inch, and ravage you well", thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder: "Who let you wronged me to escape." ”

Pei Gongcuo smiled with relief: "When you left the soul for the second time, you also told me that although you didn't run away, you really didn't want to come back, was it because you were jealous when you saw me with Pin'er?" ”

Hua Mian was stunned for a moment, and immediately retorted: "How can I have? ”

Pei Gongcuo chuckled and rubbed her hair, and hugged her into his arms: "It's time to go back to the palace for praying for blessings for so long." Let's leave tomorrow. ”

Hua Mian was stunned again, she hadn't enjoyed enough freedom yet.

As if afraid of her refusal, Pei Gongcuo added: "In a few days, it will be the centennial celebration of the founding of Nanxiu, and then the whole cloud will be very lively, don't you want to go and see it?" ”

"Centennial?" Hua Mian couldn't help but be stunned, so when he said that, there would be envoys from all over the world to congratulate him, I wonder if he would be able to see Brother Ye at that time? Thinking of Ji Yunye, she only felt a dull pain in her heart. But in just a few months, it is like a world away, I don't know what it will be like to see you again?

"yes, isn't it exciting?" Pei Gongcuo looked at her and smiled softly.

Hua Mian smiled stiffly: "Okay, we'll go back tomorrow." ”

Pei Gongcuo looked at her fixedly, a ghostly light flashed in his eyes, and he lay back on the bed and hugged her into his arms, silent for a long time.

Just when Hua Mian wondered if he was asleep, he suddenly said, "Why did Hua Ruoshui kill you?" ”

Hua Mian was stunned, thinking that this question had bothered him for a long time. She teased, "Probably jealous that I'm prettier than her." ”

"Don't beat around the bush."

"Would you believe me if I said she was afraid that I would take her throne?"

Unexpectedly, Pei Gongcuo said with a solemn expression: "Sure enough." ”

Hua Mian was a little surprised: "You know? ”

"You forgot that on the day of your assassination, the Assassin did not name the person who instructed him before he died, but his lips were shaped like a 'flower'. At the time, I didn't expect it to be a flower, after all, you have nothing to do with it. This time, Hua Ruoshui blatantly killed you, and said that she didn't share the sky with you, which made me suspicious. So I asked you to investigate your background, and I found an interesting phenomenon. Not only were you born on the same day, the same month, the same year as Hua Ruoshui, but the place where you were picked up by Emperor Cheng Zhao was on the outskirts of Amaterasu. With such a coincidence, it is not difficult to deduce that it is likely that you are the real crown princess. Coupled with the fact that you later told me that Ling Yue had exchanged blood for you to expel poison, I was even more sure. ”

Hua Mian couldn't help but sigh when she heard this: "You really have a heart." ”

"But I have nothing to do with you."

"Really?" Hua Mian quipped, "Why don't you help me fight for the throne?" ”

“……”

"What? Would you like to consider my proposal? ”

"That's a good idea, but I'm not interested."

"Why?"

"Because, you just have to wait to be my queen."

“…… Are you sure I will be your queen? ”

"I have always been true to my word, and I will never break my word."

I? The title seemed to announce to her his lofty status, more like to imply that she was just one of his many women. Yes, when she returns to the palace tomorrow, she will return to her cage-like life and begin to live a life of open and secret fighting with a group of poor and pathetic women in the deep palace.

Her lack of interest seemed to him like a suspicion of his imperial majesty, which made him very unhappy. Maybe there are some things that don't need to be said with your mouth, just do it and show her.

Early in the morning of the second day, Huang Jue'an and others, including Li Xinyi, all returned to the palace with Pei Gongcuo.

As soon as he arrived at Shuihua Palace, Hua Mian couldn't help but be stunned, saying that things are people, and in the four months since he left, Shuihua Palace is people. Ignoring the eager welcome of the familiar faces, the snowballs circled around her, and the east came back before her and chirped at her, and even the purple grapes that covered half of the yard were shining and seemed to be waiting to be picked.

Nanxiu is good at this, because the climate is hotter than Dongli, so even the grapes ripen earlier than Dongli.

It was true that she liked to eat grapes, but this situation really surprised her. She looked at Pei Gongcuo in surprise, and saw that he curled the corners of her lips, and seemed to be very satisfied with her reaction: "These seeds were quietly given to me by Wantao before you left the palace, and she said that you like to eat grapes, so I ordered someone to plant them in your yard." ”

Hua Mian looked at Wan Tao in astonishment, but saw her wink at herself: "It's good if the girl likes it." ”

Hua Mian comprehended, and turned to Pei Gongcuo: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that she was happy, Pei Gongcuo was also very happy, but after listening to her words, he was displeased with her own life, so he straightened his face and said, "Why do you need to be so polite to me?" As long as you're happy. ”

"It should. And I thank you not only for the grapes you planted for me, but also for not publicizing my captivity in order to preserve my reputation. On the carriage back, Wan Tao had told her everything that had happened after she left. In fact, even if she didn't say it, she knew he had done enough to defend himself. The lack of rumors about her in the market is the best proof of this.

Pei Gongcuo smiled slyly: "You don't have to thank me for this, because I only know one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"No matter where you run, you can't escape my palm in the end. Why should I do so much to make everyone known, and end up shooting myself in the foot? ”

For some reason, looking at the complacent appearance of the person in front of him, Hua Mian couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips. After thinking about it, it seemed that the person who knew about it was Li Xinyi, and she couldn't help but hesitate a little: "By the way, Concubine Xinde, she ......" But in the end, she couldn't bear to expose her affair with Pei Qijun, so she stopped talking again.

Pei Gongcuo naturally saw her thoughts, and smiled at her slightly: "I know everything." ”

Hua Mian looked at him in astonishment, wanting to confirm whether he really knew that Li Xinyi and Pei Qijun were having an affair, but listened to him: "I know what you want to say." As long as she keeps to herself and doesn't make waves, I won't do anything to her, after all, it's useful to keep her. ”

Although Pei Gongcuo didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of his words was already clearly telling her that he knew everything. No wonder on the way back, Pei Gongcuo let Li Xinyi ride in a carriage alone, and didn't even give her a straight eye from beginning to end, and only asked Fu Xin to send her to Changchun Palace after entering the palace, and he accompanied him to Shuihua Palace, which shows how much he doesn't want to see her.

However, what he and Ji Yunye did didn't seem to be much better than them, and besides, he thought that he was defiled by Pei Qijun, how could he endure it?

His thoughts were still flying, but he said: "By the way, I asked someone to arrange a dust washing banquet for you, you take a rest first, and I will pick you up then." ”

For his own sake, he was indeed well-intentioned, and Hua Mian felt his heart, so he did not refuse. Seeing him depart triumphantly, she sighed heavily.
