Chapter 14: Murder with a Knife (5)
In the quiet night, Pei Yao sighed.
"You're really ......" She leaned her head on his chest, and the questioning was fruitless, leaving only a helpless voice: "My subordinates have a slave who betrays their masters, and secretly cooperates with Xiao Zhu to provoke the situation, first doing tricks and feet on letters, and then deliberately finding someone, pretending to be me, in Zhaoye Temple, I prepared such an embarrassing scene for you——"
She raised her head and asked with a crying smile: "Xiao Di, I already know all this, are you so difficult to say?" ”
As her words landed, Xiao Di's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
"You ......," he asked, "you know?" When did you find out? How do you know? ”
Pei Yaowei tilted her head, blindly looked at him, and didn't speak, her eyes were clearly telling him: You don't answer me a single question, do you dare to expect me to answer all your questions?
Under her scrutiny, he gradually calmed down a lot, and after a while, he smiled bitterly with a resigned face: "Wu Yao's twenty years, what you said, of course, are all antecedents, but ......"
After a pause, he pondered for a moment and gave her an example: "It's like Jiang Yi's death, the person who started it was Xiao Zhu, but at the root, through Wen Lian and Changming Sword, the person who made Xiao Chai suspicious of him was me." You said that if Jiang Yi had a soul, who would he recognize as the culprit who caused his death? ”
Pei Yao's mind moved, and immediately, he seemed to understand something.
"You mean ......"
Xiao Zhu was certainly the hand that did things back then, but behind him, there were others?
She shuddered at the thought of this.
Xiao Di hugged her, his expression gloomy.
"Actually, when I first regained my memory, I didn't want to continue to hide it from you." He said: "On the way back from the front, I thought of you - thinking of my princess, I was crooked and trying to marry my wife, it is very likely that it is the person I have been dreaming about for so many years, you don't know how anxious I am.
All I want is to see you in my eyes and hold you in my arms a moment earlier.
But when I was in Lingcheng, I suddenly had this accident, and when I came back, I woke up from my coma, thinking that between you and me, there was only this wall left...... My courage was gone. ”
Between his ears and temples, he whispered, "Pei Yao, I'm scared." ”
She laughed, and she also felt the same way: "Hometown cowardice, who is not?" ”
But she didn't know that this matter was far from being a sentence of 'homesickness' here in Xiao Di.
"It's not just homesickness." He shook his head, "I've thought countless times that if God had mercy on us and could give us another chance, I wouldn't have any secrets from you." ”
"But the first thing you ask me, I ......"
His tone was inexplicably short, inexplicably choked, and inexplicably turned sharply.
Her eyebrows tightened, and she unconsciously rubbed his back for reassurance.
After a while, Xiao Di closed his eyes vigorously. He squeezed her shoulders, pulled the person apart, looked at each other in pairs, and said solemnly: "Pei Yaowei, I don't want to lie to you, but what is the cause of Wu Yao's incident in the twentieth year...... I can't say it. ”
To say that there is no surprise is false. She thought that she had seen so much in the realm of dreams, what could be a deeper internal reason for the coming and going of this matter?
What could have caused him to be like this?
In her panic, she seemed to see a little clue, but in a trance, she didn't know whether to grasp it or not.
"At least for now, I can't say it," he said. I know it's unfair to you, but you can ......"
"I can."
Xiao Di's unfinished words were cut off by the two words between her jaws.
He blinked, as if to judge if he had misheard.
Pei Yao smiled.
She said, "I won't force you anymore. If you can't say it for a day, I'll wait for you for a day, even if you can't say it for the rest of your life...... I admit it. ”
She held his face in both hands, even though she was helpless, she still told him seriously: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it." Never mind. ”
At this moment, she knew very clearly that she didn't care about the truth buried in the old years, but compared to those truths, she cared more about the person she really loved in front of her, whether she was happy or embarrassed, relaxed or nervous.
She thought that if there must be a bad time between the two of them, then it would be better to do it herself.
Xiao Di held her hand and looked at her stunned, not knowing what to say, "You ......"
Pei Yaowei said interestingly: "Why am I so good? Why is he so tolerant of you all of a sudden, and he doesn't even have the slightest hatred? ”
He looked apprehensive and nodded slowly.
The development in front of him is the opposite of everything he envisioned. Pei Yaoyan's reaction was something he didn't even dare to think about in his dreams.
He had thought that when all this was revealed, she would probably be angry, and she should have expressed her hatred for the past without hesitation, and she even ...... It's likely that you're ready to leave yourself.
But at this moment, she hugged herself and told herself, it's okay.
Who told her what? But back then, the girl named Weaving Wind had already died, and who else would know what happened in Zhaoye Temple except herself?
Xiao Chase?
How can it be......
He was speculating nonsense, but Pei Yao said, "I'll talk about this later." Let's make everything clear in front of you. She put on a face, changed her words, and asked seriously: "Wu Yao's twenty years, I will give you an amnesty, but this time you pretend to have amnesia...... Is it because of you that you don't dare to be open and honest with me? ”
Xiao Di's face was pale, and he was embarrassed.
He was a reason, thinking about it, and then he said slowly: "There are some things, I haven't figured out how to talk to you, and there are some things, I don't know how to make you believe, for these two, I have some evasion, this is one of them."
But if it had stopped, I probably wouldn't have done it. ”
She snorted deliberately and said, "I'll wait to hear the second one." ”
"Second......" he said to her, "the most important thing is ...... I remembered Master Pei Hairpin. ”
Pei Yao was stunned.
Pei hairpin, she is not unfamiliar with this name, in terms of seniority, this is still her aunt and grandmother. A few days ago, when the two were talking, they also mentioned this ancestor, Xiao Di called it Emperor Jing, the only person worthy of existence. Such a serious evaluation is really not easy for people to forget.
He said: "There is an incident that you mentioned in your letter in the old days, and it has been haunting me for a long time.
You said that for a hundred years, the daughter of the Pei clan has ascended to the throne many times, but the only person you admire in your heart is Lord Pei Hairpin.
It's just that you sigh that you don't have the right time and place like her, and think about it, if you hadn't formed such a marriage with me, I'm afraid that after the edict of the concubine came down, you could only ruin your reputation and innocence, and seek the fruit of the abandonment of the heavenly family. ”
Listening to him fully explain the words he wrote casually in the past, Pei Yaowei realized some things at the same time, and his heart was both moved and emotional.
She remembered that she had told him this, but what she could not recover from listening to it now was the state of mind she had when she had written these words.
What were you thinking at the time?
Is it fortunate that the sky is endless, giving her such a like-minded Xiao Lang?
Or did you feel sorry for not being able to be a woman like your grandmother?
She doesn't remember.
But Xiao Di has always remembered it for her.
He said: "Because of your words, I always thought that you had the heart to participate in politics and help the world. ”
In addition, over the years, under some secret and inhumane reasons, he made everyone believe that he fell in love with Pan Tian with empathy and hated her with all his might.
Of all of them, including those closest to him.
His henchmen, his close ministers, his friends, his maids.
Even his mother.
Almost everyone believed that he hated Pei Yao.
In the past, he didn't care, he once thought that as long as he knew that he loved her, everyone in the world would be wrong, and there was nothing to care about - anyway, King Chu and Empress Pei were destined to have no results.
But now, it's different.
He and her have all the possibilities of love again. In this way, he also needs to let the people around him accept her and know her good.
"After waking up, I knew that by mistake, no one except you knew my plan for Zhou Guo, which forced Zijun and others to a situation where they had to rely on you and trust you."
He said: "Pei Yaowei, I am a greedy person. I don't just want to be your husband, I also want to be the one who puts an end to this Liuhe split.
I don't just want you to be my wife, I also want you to stand with me justifiably, work together as a family, govern the country, and level the world. ”
He asked, "Pei Yaowei, are you willing?" ”
Until this moment, his face gradually blurred in her eyes, and she held back the tears of the night, and finally poured out disobediently.
"Yes."
She thought: It will probably be a long time for the rest of his life, no matter what kind of requirements he has, it will be difficult for him to be unwilling.
In the bathlight hall, the faint candle flame burns until dawn, and the tiny bed tent flutters and dances, as if it is passing through the pane, and the red luan star flickering in the night.
Spring is just right.
Fanjing, Zhen'an Princess's Mansion.
Yuwen Zhijun was reading a book on the couch in the study, leisurely, and she couldn't see the anger that half of her henchmen should have.
Not long after, the door opened outside, and Xia Xia walked into the study with a step, and said, "Princess, the second son of the Kui family has arrived." ”
The man on the couch let out a faint 'um', and his subordinates turned the page again, and then said, "Please come in." ”
Xia Xia replied yes and respectfully retreated.
After a while, someone came in again.
Kui Xun was dressed in brocade, although there was no obvious smile on his face, but the whole person was like a spring breeze, and he had his own calmness.
"See the princess."
