Cutting a knife on the face of Ming Ying? Ten times the number? Wouldn't that disfigure her?

"Your Highness!" Izuku and Mingzhang exclaimed at the same time to stop.

Nie Peixiao's eyebrows frowned slightly and looked at Chuxiu: "You don't have to persuade me, you just have too soft a heart!" How could this poisonous woman let her go so easily? ”

Izuku shook his head and sighed lightly: "I'm not trying to persuade you, I just think it'...... It's not worth it. After that, she raised her eyes to look at Ming Ying again, who was crumpled in clothes, messy sideburns, and his face was pale with horror, like a ghost. What is there to hate such a woman? Izuku only felt that she was pitiful. Besides, now that she is a wife, her figure is slightly out of shape, and it doesn't matter if she is disfigured or not.

"At the beginning, Mingying set fire to me in the drunken flower building and wanted to burn me to death, but instead burned my personal maid to death. I confess that I hated it to death, and even lost my voice about it...... But after all these years, I don't hate her, I only feel sorry for her......"

Before I finished speaking, I heard Ming Ying cry and scream again, and her hands kept fluttering: "No! I didn't set it on fire! I didn't burn Han Chu to death! Why don't you believe me?! ”

"Third sister!" Mingzhang restrained her and had no choice but to cover her mouth. Unexpectedly, the palm of her hand was just put to her mouth, but she bit it hard. Mingzhang let out a low roar and pulled his palm out of Mingying's mouth, but it was terrifying to see that the back of his right hand had been bitten off a piece of flesh and skin, and it had become bloody.

Taking advantage of Mingzhang's carelessness in checking the injury, Mingying had already taken the opportunity to break free from his clamps and squeeze her whole body into the crack between the iron pillars of the prison door. After squeezing for a long time, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the jailer's clothes, and cried loudly: "Why don't you believe me! I didn't set the fire! I didn't burn Han Chu! ……”

Seeing that Mingying was so abnormal, Izumi was very surprised, especially after listening to what she said, she felt even more unbelievable. But now, Izuku thinks that there is no need for her to lie to herself anymore, let alone ...... In this way, she is telling the truth.

Out of Xiu stepped forward and approached the prison door: "Really didn't you set fire to the Drunken Flower Building?" ”

Mingying shook her head while crying, still clutching the jailer's clothes in her hands: "It's not me...... Why do you think of me so harshly......"

Izuku reacted that Ming Ying had taken the jailer for Helian Qi. The jailer was originally holding a torch in one hand, but when he saw a madwoman dragging him and refusing to let go, he couldn't help but be annoyed, so he stabbed the torch into Mingying's hand and burned it.

Mingying groaned in pain, and quickly withdrew her hand, but despite the burns on the back of her hand, she still cried bitterly, and was completely delirious.

Izuku was dazzled by the scene in front of her, and suddenly couldn't bear to look at it anymore. She was about to open her mouth to ask about the inside story of the fire drunken flower building, but she heard Nie Peixiao say quietly beside her: "It is indeed not the fire she set out." ”

"Who's that?" Izuku hurriedly asked.

When the words fell, Nie Peixiao did not answer immediately. Mingying's cries and moans echoed violently in this narrow space, lasting for a long time. After a while, a name sounded faintly, from Nie Peixiao's mouth: "It's Helian Qi." ”

"Is that him?" Izuku was greatly surprised, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Indeed, it was Helianzi, whom he personally admitted." Nie Peixiao replied in a deep voice, repeating the drunken words that Helian Qi had in Qianya Pavilion two and a half years ago. Including why Helian Qi abandoned Han Chu back then, why he set fire to Qin'er, and how he watched Shen Yu rescue Han Chu...... There are no details in every matter, and Nie Peixiao said it clearly and clearly.

After many years, he recalled the fire that changed his life, and was silent for a long time; Especially after knowing this inside story, she found that she had no sorrow or joy.

Ming Ying heard all this, but gradually stopped crying, as if she suddenly woke up, and asked sharply: "Did he set the fire?" You lied to me! Then why didn't he tell me? ”

A look of disgust crossed Nie Peixiao's face: "How do I know? You ask Helian Qi to go! ”

Mingying's eyes widened and she gasped deeply, her eyes rolling back and forth unfocused. After a while, she suddenly looked up and looked at Xiu again, and asked in a trembling voice, "Does he know that you are Han Chu?" He knew that Mrs. Izumi was Han Chu, right? ”

Out of Xiu's eyes did not respond, Nie Peixiao replied coldly: "What do you say?" ”

Just these three words sentenced Ming Ying to death. She staggered backwards and fell to the ground, holding on to the cold floor tiles with her hands, and laughed at herself in despair: "No wonder he refuses to accompany me to Yunfu...... No wonder he didn't come to my rescue...... He did it on purpose! He deliberately wanted to see my jokes! He deliberately sent me to die! ”

At this point, Mingying's body went limp, and she couldn't support it anymore, so she lay on the ground and whimpered. Compared with Fang Cai's crying and mental disorder, she seemed much calmer and restrained at the moment, just lying on her back and trembling, hiding her face with her hands and sobbing lowly.

At this moment, Mingying is no longer the concubine of the high-ranking minister, nor is she the eldest daughter-in-law of the Helian clan, who lives in a simple place. The delicate, indulgent, bright, and jealous Miss Ming in Xiu's memory, the Miss Ming who likes to wear red clothes and is like a flame, was burned to ashes at this moment.

She was disgusted and hated by her beloved husband, and burned to the ground by Helianzi's ruthlessness and indifference......

Izumi felt that this punishment was enough, and compared to Mingying, Izumi was much luckier and happier. At least, there was a wonderful man in this world who really liked him, and was even willing to give his life for himself......

Thinking of this, Izuku deeply pity and sympathize with Mingying. She couldn't bear to look any further, so she whispered to Nie Peixiao: "Actually, you don't have to ruin her appearance, this kind of punishment is cruel enough, you let them go." ”

"You're not taking revenge?" Nie Peixiao frowned and asked.

Izuku smiled: "Didn't you report for me?" ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Ming Yinger raised her head again, didn't speak, just lay on the ground and looked up at Xiu. Izumi calmly looked back at the past, letting her look at it.

After a while, Mingying's rather resentful voice sounded in the prison: "After so many years, why are you still beautiful and moving!" But I'm old, and I'll never be like you! ”

Izuku only thought it was funny: "You are the daughter of the right minister, and you really shouldn't be compared with me, a person from a humble background." ”

"Yes! I shouldn't be ...... with you" Mingying sat up straight, raised her hands and looked at the firelight, the back of her torch-burned hand was high and swollen, and a few blisters had grown. She stared at the skin and looked at it, and smirked: "I have been proud of my skin since I was a child, and I only know that there are people outside the world when I see you...... I was originally from a nobler background than you, but now you have become the wife of Izuxiu, and I have become a prisoner...... Even my husband doesn't want me anymore! ”

Ming Ying touched her cheek, and viciously stretched out her hand to point at Xiu: "Han Chu, you cheap prostitute must not die well!" You've ruined my life! ”

"Man will destroy himself, and then he will destroy him." Chu Xiu lightly put down this sentence, and then looked at Mingzhang who was speechless: "Ming Gongzi, one thing is one thing." In the future, please respect yourself, and don't threaten the life of my third master to pay off debts! ”

After saying that, she gently tugged at Nie Peixiao's sleeve: "Your Highness, let them go, don't dirty your hands." ”

Nie Peixiao took a deep look at the Ming brothers and sisters in the prison before nodding and saying, "Okay." I'll send you back. ”

Chuxiu did not refuse, and walked out along the road with Nie Peixiao. The heavy cell door rested behind the two of them, humming the floor tiles under their feet again, and also hiding Mingying's accusations and cries.

The years when the love affair first opened, belonging to the grievances and hatreds of the fifteen-year-old Hanchu, were completely buried today, buried in this dark and cold Fangzhou prison. From then on, in the life of Izuxiu, there was no Mingying, and there was no Helianqi.

Walking out of the prison, before I knew it, it was past noon, and I suddenly had a feeling of "seeing the light of day again". Her eyes were adjusted to the dark cell, and at this moment she was so blinded by the sun that she couldn't lift her eyes, and when she squinted her eyes, she only felt that her eyes were sour, and she wanted to cry.

But listening to Nie Peixiao, he said with emotion: "Out of Xiu, you are very soft-hearted to everyone, but you are ruthless to yourself." ”

"Really?" Izuku touched her moist eyes, but she couldn't tell if they were tears or something else.

"How not?" Nie Peixiao sighed and smiled: "Also, you are quite ruthless to me." ”

As soon as the words fell, a warm breeze blew slowly, lifting a strand of hanging hair. She raised her hand behind her ear and deliberately changed the topic: "Actually, this scenery is really good, when the Holy Dragon was in Fangzhou, how could the prison be built here?" Didn't spoil the good scenery. ”

Finally adapted to the dazzling sunlight again, and looked into the distance, everywhere as far as the eye could see, there were lush greenery, green mountains and greenery. She used to know that there was a good place in the southern suburbs of Yanlan City, but because of the terrifying prison built here, she had never been here. Now I know that it is really a good mountain and a good water, but it is cheaper for those serious offenders in prison.

Nie Peixiao naturally knew that Izuxiu was avoiding herself, and she was not reluctant, so she replied jokingly: "Maybe Brother Qi thinks that this is a good place to bury bones." If any prisoners are disobedient, they will be thrown out to feed the beasts in the forest, and even the straw mat coffin for collecting the corpse will be spared. ”

Speaking of this, Nie Peixiao deliberately lowered her voice to scare her: "Do you know why the forests and flowers here grow well? They are all raised by the dead, is the land fertile enough? ”

Hearing this, Chuxiu glanced at Nie Peixiao fiercely and did not speak again.

Nie Peixiao was afraid that she would be angry, and she didn't care that there were any people present, so she immediately apologized: "Don't be angry, I'm talking about fun." ”

Izuku pursed her cherry lips and smiled, but still didn't speak, burying her head and walking south. Nie Peixiao raised her hand to stop the attendant from following, and she stayed by her side, and the two walked together without saying a word. It wasn't until he walked to a bubbling mountain spring that he leaned down and took a sip of the spring water, and said, "It's so sweet." ”

The long-lost feeling of comfort also made Nie Peixiao feel very relaxed, and couldn't help but look forward to this moment lasting forever. There are only two people in this world, he and Chuxiu, the breeze, the green bamboo, the song of birds, the fragrance of flowers, and the mountains and flowing water.

Nie Peixiao smiled and said nothing, watching Izuxiu play wantonly in the spring water, and each other was more relaxed than ever. At least, he'd known Izuku for so long, and this was the first time she had taken off all her defenses in front of him.

It's a good thing and it's a bad thing. Although she no longer deliberately avoided him, she still couldn't be moved after all, and only regarded him as a bosom friend and got along with him frankly.

Thinking about it, Nie Peixiao was a little disappointed, but at this moment, she suddenly heard Xiu ask, "Did Your Highness bring a flute today?" ”

Nie Peixiao straightened her expression and smiled back: "Don't you know that I am Xiao and can't leave me?" Saying that, he took out the jade flute from his bosom and asked again, "What?" Which tune would you like to hear me play? ”

"Will you blow "Laughing and Forgetting the Past"?" Izuku nodded unceremoniously.

Nie Peixiao didn't speak, and began to play the jade flute in his hand. Between heaven and earth, it is far away and vast, the white clouds are long, and the spring water is ringing. I saw a man in purple standing tall and holding a flute; The woman in white beside him was as silent as smoke and dust, listening attentively. The lush mountains and forests surrounded the two of them, and the picture was so beautiful that time seemed to stop at this moment.

The timbre of the jade flute is clearly the throat, but it was blown out by Nie Peixiao with a bit of cheerfulness, which is really like the name of this song, which can make people laugh and forget the sadness of the past.

Gradually, the tune became softer, Shen Yuan was quiet and silent, just like the peerless woman named "Han Chu", dissipated in the warm breeze of late spring, and there was no such person in the world.

This song vividly expresses Xiu's state of mind, and by the end of the song, she had already smiled lightly and sighed incomparably: "I should also make a poem to thank my bosom friend." ”

"I'll wait." Nie Peixiao couldn't tell whether she was lost or happy on her face.

Izumi smiled again, raised his sleeves to cover the dazzling sunlight, looked at the sky, and said, "I've been out for too long, it's time to go home." ”

Nie Peixiao replied with a "yes", and after a moment of silence, he suddenly whistled towards the empty valley.

The sound of the whistle fluttered back and forth in the mountains, and Izumi was puzzled, when he heard a horse roaring from afar, as if in response. Not long after, a jujube red horse had galloped from a distance, neighing and stopped in front of Nie Peixiao.

"My mount, chasing the wind." He proudly introduced.

"This horse is really spiritual." Izumi was sincerely admired, and couldn't help but walk to the horse and reach out to stroke the horse's back. The next moment, her mind was dizzy, and she suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and before she could exclaim, she found that she had been carried by Nie Peixiao to the horse.

"Your Highness! Let me down! She was so shocked that she blurted out a plea.

Nie Peixiao turned over and got on the horse without saying a word, sat behind Xiu and wrapped her in her arms, holding the reins and smiling: "Sit tight, I'll send you home!" With a wave of his whip, the horse was gone......
