When she woke up again, it was already twilight, the window was ajar, and a faint yellow halo shrouded the rustic little box. Outside, a thin layer of snow fell, and sometimes a few flakes drifted into the room, quickly melted by the lamps and candles in front of the windows.

Outside it seemed to be very bright, and a new lantern had been hung at the entrance of the temple, and the snow shone with a silvery white glow into the window lattice.

She barely moved her body, only to find that the bones in her body were out of place. Her clothes had been torn to pieces, piled up like a pile of broken dead leaves.

Only a thin quilt covered his body, which was covered with the smell of rotten sweat and some damp moisture on it.

She forced herself to sit up and saw the figure standing alone in front of the window. Her hand was still in the futon, and when she felt the damp watermark on the mattress, she withdrew her hand, and by the candlelight, she could see the color of her fingertips, a light shade of red.

Her heart was half cold, as if her soul had been drained in an instant, and only a dry shell remained on the bed.

The man in front of the window put his hands behind his back, and finally slowly, slowly turned to look at her.

Through the light, she finally saw the man in front of her, a man whose eyebrows were not delicate, and even had an evil aura. He didn't tie the crown of his hair, he only tied the black hair simply, a few strands of black hair were scattered freely outside, and the dispensable carved hosta was inserted obliquely in the hair, looking free and frivolous.

He had already changed out of the outfit of the envoy, wearing a long white shirt with a half-collar of dark satin, without a belt, and the loose drape set off the man extraordinarily elegantly.

"Are you awake?" He asked her.

She felt a pain in her head, a buzzing pain, and the distance between the two of them was that she could hear him speak indistinctly, only to feel that the voice was ethereal, coming from afar.

She felt a thick vapor in her eyelids, and the grievance, the anger, mixed with the raging fire of revenge, almost crushed her.

She said word by word: "Aren't you afraid that I will sue the royal court?" My father is a meritorious hero of the Great Qi Auxiliary State, if the emperor knows that you, an envoy of the Lu State, dare to be the daughter of such a light meritorious hero, he will immediately send troops to level your Lu State! ”

The other party seemed to have guessed that she would threaten her, so he showed an unmoved and indifferent look at her words.

Chu Ping put his hands behind his back and slowly paced to her bed and sat down: "Second Miss, I guess you won't sue the royal court." ”

"What did you say?" Xu Yujing's eyes almost erupted with fire, and she instinctively stretched out her two hands to grab him.

She was holding the quilt to cover her body, but now she grabbed Chu Ping with both hands, and the half of the quilt fell down crookedly, revealing her ketone body full of kiss marks.

Chu Ping grabbed her wrist with his backhand, but his gaze gradually moved downward, and finally his gaze stopped on her chest. Xu Yujing also found out that he had just looked at her, and became more and more annoyed, and tried her best to beat him.

Chu Ping took the opportunity to press her down on the couch, he bowed down to look at her, so close, he could almost see the white fluff on her sweat pores. Like a piece of soft grass, swaying in the breeze.

"Second Miss, why are you so annoyed?" He laughed slyly: "Although I can't compare to your emperor of Daqi, but my Chu family is also a wealthy family that has been officials for generations in the Lu Kingdom, and it is not more than enough to match a concubine born to a foot-washing maid like you?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" In her anger, she finally remembered the word fame, so she tore open her throat and screamed.

Chu Ping suddenly covered her mouth, Xu Yujing couldn't make a sound, and could only whimper.

Chu Ping hooked the corners of his lips: "I knew you would be like this, so I was prepared." Just shout, even if you shout in your throat, no one will come to save you. Just, don't shout into my ear. ”

He let go of his hand and let her cry out for help.

Sure enough, no matter what she shouted, she couldn't see anyone.

She stumbled out of bed, pulled through the tattered garment and wrapped herself, and opened the door, only to see that the originally lively teahouse was so quiet that not even the shopkeeper and the boys at the counter in the lobby could not find a single one.

She turned her head hatefully: "You? ”

Chu Ping laughed proudly: "Isn't it good? Such a simple and natural teahouse, just the two of you and me, do such a natural thing, there is a way of love between men and women, and the way of heaven is natural. ”

Xu Yujing looked at him in a daze, in fact, she had never heard such a fallacy and heresy, this was probably a nonsense he made up himself, used to confuse some little girls.

"Mean, you're so mean!" As she spoke, she surged out the door.

Chu Ping's reaction was extremely fast, and he rushed out with her in an instant, and before she could run down the stairs, he had already stopped her waist and held her, she desperately hammered his back, but he didn't move at all, and grabbed her back to the room like a chicken.

"I can't imagine that you are such a boring woman, at the moment of the Spring Festival, do you just leave without looking back?" Chu Ping pressed her against the wall with interest, and unscrupulously kissed Yu Jing's eyebrows.

Although she was born to guard the door, she was only a weak woman in the end, and his two iron pincer-like hands opened her arms one by one and pressed them firmly against the wall. His body pressed against her, or rather, pressed against her. She couldn't break free, so she could only look at the other party with resentment, racking her brains to think of the most vicious words to attack the other party.

"Chu Ping, what kind of envoy are you of the Lu Kingdom, are you all such a despicable and filthy race in the Lu Kingdom?"

"Are your emperors and ministers like this?"

"Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Did your princess do some dirty things, too? If you can't get married, you will have to give us the emperor of Great Qi? ”

Her mouth was dry, but the other party was unmoved, he just lowered his eyelids slightly, there was hardly any ripple on his face, he was extremely calm, and even seemed to enjoy her verbal attack.

After a long time, he finally asked her, "Have you scolded enough?" ”

"Nope!" Xu Yujing spat on his face with hatred: "I can't wait to scold everyone in your despicable country a hundred times and a thousand times!" I ......"

She was speechless, he had let go of a hand to grip her jaw, and with such force that he almost pinched her face out of shape.

"Even if you don't finish scolding, don't say it again," he let go of his other hand as well, and looked at her calmly, "Now, you'd better keep your mouth shut and listen to me." ”

"Why should I?" Although her words were not clear due to the deformation of her mouth, Chu Ping still understood, so he pinched her face harder.

"With my knife."

All she heard was a thud, and out of nowhere, he pulled out a sharp dagger and snapped it to less than two inches from her ear. She was frightened by the trembling sound of the blade, and she didn't dare to continue cursing.

When Chu Ping let go of her, he took the dagger off as well, because the dagger was deeply embedded, and when the blade left the wall, it also took a small piece of wall skin with it.

"I know that you are a gift that the Xu family is preparing to present to the Emperor of Great Qi, and I also know that your Emperor of Great Qi attaches more importance to women's chastity. I also know that if your family finds out about your loss of virginity, it will cause an uproar. His gaze locked on her: "If the news of your disobedience spreads, I think your Xu family will not let you go." ”

He forced his eyes on her and slowly walked over to her: "I guess you don't want this to be spread out, right?" After all, the death of immersion in the pig cage is not pleasant. ”

His palm slowly caressed her neck, and he said in a low voice: "Being encased in a pig cage, hands and feet are tied with hemp rope, it is a pig-killing knot that is getting tighter and tighter, and it doesn't give you a chance to escape at all." Little by little, the water goes over your head, you can't breathe, and slowly, you fall to the bottom of the lake by a boulder, and you become a fish and shrimp thing. ”

As he spoke, his hands already wrapped around her neck, little by little: "Do you know what it's like to not be able to breathe? It's like this. ”

Xu Yujing's face slowly turned red, and then turned purple, and her hand weakly moved Chu Ping's hand, but to no avail.

She only felt that the light and shadow in front of her eyes were gradually dimming, and her nose could no longer breathe air into her body, at this time, he suddenly let go of his hand, and a large stream of air poured into her lungs without a head, she choked and coughed, and instinctively retreated backwards. Her body trembled, holding her heaving chest, her eyes full of sour tears.

"Look, you've died once now, you don't want a second time, do you?" Chu Ping changed his smile again, and gently stroked her cheek: "Look at your beautiful face, at the age of a flower-like jade, you shouldn't want to die so miserable, right?" ”

"Well, as long as you will listen to me, I promise that no second person will ever know about what is between us."

Xu Yujing's heart was cold, and she slammed into the wall behind her, she seemed to be out of breath, and slowly slid down to sit down.

"Don't you just want me to take you into the palace to see Concubine Chen?" She sobbed aggrievedly: "I have already agreed, what else do you want?" ”

Chu Ping smiled, this smile was very ugly: "I still want a lot, including if you marry the Emperor of Great Qi in the future, you already have to listen to my dispatch." ”

Xu Yujing raised her chin slightly, squinted at him resentfully, and Chu Ping sneered: "Don't look at me like this, I'm a person who doesn't like subordinates who have different intentions for me." ”

Xu Yujing retracted her gaze and looked at the corner of the wall aggrievedly.

"Are you people in Lu Country so dirty and despicable?" She asked softly.

"No, it should be said that it is not Lu Guo who is dirty, but politics." He leaned down slowly: "This politics is so dirty, it is all about national strength, and sometimes it is no different from bullying men and women." In fact, the emperor of your Great Qi is the same, he is just glamorous on the surface. ”

"Phew!" Xu Yujing suddenly spat on his face, and was spitting on his left eye, his body trembled, closed his eyes fiercely, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the saliva away.

"I hope there won't be a next time." He said calmly
