Chapter 099: Return
Han Zheng took people to clean up the aftermath, and Pei Gongcuo took Hua Mian and turned around and went upstairs to the private room. After such a killing, the restaurant did not need to be cleared to leave only the two of them. However, although no one disturbed them, they looked at each other relatively silently.
In the end, it was Pei Gongcuo who broke the silence, and there was a hoarseness caused by exhaustion in his voice: "It is true that I rushed in without thinking about the consequences, but I thought about what you said carefully and felt that it was necessary to correct it. I'm not afraid of falling around, I'm afraid I'll never see you again. ”
Hua Mian only felt his heart skip a beat, and heard him say again: "I'm really afraid, if I don't find you today, will I never see you?" ”
Hua Mian recalled the thrill of Fang Cai, and she was also afraid for a while, she said very seriously: "You seem to be very reasonable. ”
Pei Gongcuo pulled her into his arms and said viciously: "Don't run away from me in the future, do you hear?" ”
"I was kidnapped by Pei Qijun." Hua Mian corrected, her eyes fell on his arm, she quickly broke away from his embrace, rolled up his sleeve, and saw the hideous wound that kept oozing blood, and couldn't help frowning, "Does it hurt?" ”
Pei Gongcuo breathed a little and said in a dumb voice: "Small injury, it doesn't hurt." ”
Hua Mian took out a porcelain bottle from her body, poured some medicinal powder on the wound, blew it gently, and took out the handkerchief she had with her and tied it to her wrist at the distal end.
These actions were done in one go, with indescribable caution and gentleness, and Pei Gongcuo's heart had a warm current slowly surging through. After a long time, he said with difficulty: "How have you spent the past few months?" ”
Hua Mian said: "If you can find me, how can you not know how I lived?" ”
"I only know how you have been in the last month, where were you in the last three months? How are you living? ”
Seeing that Pei Gongcuo asked cautiously, not only did he not have any sense of blame for being at ease, but there was also a strong sense of pity in his eyes, Hua Mian's heart suddenly rose, so he said with a bitter face: "Pei Qijun kidnapped me and gave it to a gambler, and the gambler owed a lot of debt, so he sold me to a rich man, and the rich man insisted on making me his stupid son's wife." On the wedding night, I refused to give in, so I was tied up by them and beaten badly. Later, they locked me in a pigsty and made me fight with the pigs for food every day. ”
Hua Mian said sadly, Pei Gongcuo frowned at first, but the more he listened, the more his brows stretched, until finally, his eyes were full of smiles.
Hua Mian raised her eyes after speaking, and couldn't help but be stunned by Pei Gongcuo's expression, she said puzzledly: "I'm so miserable, you can still laugh?" ”
Pei Gongcuo held back a smile and said with concern: "How does the pig food taste?" ”
"Needless to say, it's naturally extremely unpalatable."
"It's unpalatable, so why are you still robbing it with pigs?"
Hua Mian glanced at him and said, "Because they don't give me food, I'm so hungry that I have to eat." ”
Pei Gongcuo said again: "You have eaten pig food for three months? ”
Hua Mian said with a depressed face: "Isn't it." ”
"And how did you escape?"
"They saw that I would rather eat pig food than marry that fool, and they let me go because of my steadfastness."
"So, they've done a good deed, so shouldn't I thank them?"
Hua Mian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, they are at fault first, let me go later, the merits and demerits are offset, there is no need to thank or investigate." ”
Pei Gongcuo sighed, looked at her deeply, and said after a long time: "You don't want to tell me the truth, is it because you have been detained by Pei Qijun in the past few months and made him a confinement?" ”
Hua Mian was stunned for a moment, but saw that he was looking at him with a gloomy expression, and his heart suddenly understood. It turns out that he is full of pity for himself because of this, does he really not mind?
This realization made her heart feel astringent, and she had neither the mood of joking nor the desire to answer him.
Her silence made Pei Gongcuo's heart ache, he didn't expect that what Pei Qijun said that day was true, he really moved the person he put on the tip of his heart, at this moment, he just wanted to find a place to vent the sullenness in his chest. However, I finally endured it. He was afraid that if he walked away a little, Hua Mian would disappear in front of him again.
After that, no one spoke, but ate in silence. It wasn't until he saw that Hua Mian had eaten and drunk enough that Pei Gongcuo mustered up his courage, and said with a little begging in his tone: "Is it okay to go back to the palace with me?" ”
Hua Mian wiped her mouth and said casually: "Can I say no?" ”
"No, you can't!" Bae Gongcuo blurted out.
Hua Mian smiled: "Then why do you bother to ask?" ”
Pei Gongcuo stared at her tightly, and said with a little nervousness in his heart: "Let's leave in the afternoon, how about it?" ”
A person who recovers without fault cannot understand his feelings, everything is not important at this moment, only she is the most important. She would rather be happy outside than go back to the palace, thinking that she was jealous of herself. He was afraid that she would flee, so he made a tough decision for her.
To his surprise, however, she didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. Such a simple action, but like a lamp in the dark night, instantly lit up his hidden expectations.
He happily took her into his arms, kissed her excitedly like a young man in love, and greedily tasted her long-lost fragrance, even if the next moment he would be drunk with her sweetness.
Strange to say, this kiss was like a good medicine, instantly dispelling the stuffiness in his chest that almost forced him to explode, and the anxious mood calmed down like a receding tide.
Hua Mian didn't know what kind of mood she was in at the moment, but she felt that she was at a loss except for Mu Ran. She originally planned to refuse to return to the palace and refuse to make love with him, but she was dejected to find that this was just her wishful thinking. He can go all the way to let everything go and chase here, how can he let himself go? Instead of resisting to upset him, it is better to be well-behaved and maybe get a forgiveness.
And for Pei Yingshi, now that she is like this, she has no farewell, no goodbye, and everything is back to the past, which seems to be very good.
When the carriage carried Hua Mian gradually moved away from Jiangcheng, and even Windy City, her heart was like a fog, and she only felt empty and stunned.
In the study of Duanwang's Mansion, Pei Yingshi finished reading the flying pigeon biography sent by the secret guard from Jiangcheng, and slammed his fist into the table in front of him. As the sawdust scattered, his eyes were filled with an undercurrent of gloomy. At that moment, he couldn't tell whether he hated or regretted it, if he had known that he would lose her, he would say nothing and not let her go out and show her face, even if she complained to him and annoyed him, he would tie her to his side and become his own prison. And now, it's too late.
Yan Xun hesitated for a long time, until he felt that Pei Yingshi's emotions gradually subsided, and the heavy feeling of oppression in the air showed signs of disappearing, before he stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, will she leak out of your affairs?" ”
Pei Yingshi shook her head weakly: "She won't." For some reason, he just believed her completely.
"What are the prince's plans?"
After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "It's time for us to set off and return to Beijing, but before we do that, we must first find out who wants to kill Xin'er." ”
Yan Xun groaned: "The killer's body has been taken away by the emperor's people, and there is no need for the prince to worry about this matter at all." ”
"In that case, then keep an eye on it, I want to know the result as soon as possible."
“…… Be. ”
"Let's go down."
"That," Yan Xun hesitated for a while, and finally said with a heart, "There is a sentence that even if you don't like to hear it, your subordinates have to say it." Now that Concubine Burma has returned to the palace, you have more important things to do, and you must not give up your efforts for the sake of a woman. ”
Pei Yingshi looked at Yan Xun with some astonishment, this Qingjun guard, who had been standing behind him and sticking a knife in his ribs, was obedient to himself, it was the first time he said such a rebellious word to himself, he was indeed unhappy at first, but in an instant, he was a little relieved, he patted his shoulder, and said with relief: "Don't worry, I want it from the bottom of my heart, and I will not give up in the world." ”
