I looked at him and said very lightly and solemnly: "The slave does have a sentence that I want to say to Your Highness." ”

"You say."

"I don't know if Your Highness still remembers the previous agreement with the slave maid."

His expression slowly cooled, like a frosted lake, and he couldn't see any fluctuations below, not even any temperature.

I don't know if it's pain or hope to say this at this moment, but after all, there needs to be a decision between me and him, and now that I have made up my mind, I don't want to let myself be capricious and hurt myself in vain.

"So, the slave maid wants to say, can His Royal Highness pardon the slave and maid out of the palace."

After saying this, the entire Chengqian Hall fell silent all of a sudden.

Pei Yuanhao still looked at me, the expression on his face did not even fluctuate at all, or rather, there was no expression on his face at all, just a layer of frost, I was a little cold by that kind of eyes without temperature, and lowered my head gently.

He didn't speak, but I could feel his gaze staring at me all the time, making me uneasy, and Cheng Qiandian didn't even have a sound at this moment, not even his own heartbeat, only his breathing sounding above his head.

One sound, one sound......

The long breath with the hot temperature blew the hair on my forehead, and after a long time, my whole face seemed to be burned red, but I still didn't look up at him, just stubbornly lowered my head, I don't know how long later, I heard him speak, as if with a little smile: "By the way, I almost forgot, you want to leave the palace." ”

“……”

"What do you want to do after leaving the palace?"

“……”

"Start a small business? Farm? Or—" His voice dragged out a bit, and at last he slowly uttered the two words: "Marry?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at him, but saw that his face was actually a gentle smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and I couldn't see what kind of gaze was inside, but at least such a smile, illuminated by the sun outside, actually showed a little kindness.

I have never seen Pei Yuanhao like this.

For a while, he was a little at a loss, looking at him who was such a complete stranger, he couldn't say a word for a while, but he smiled again and said, "What, I'm sorry?" ”

"No, no."

"None? Are you really going out to get married? ”

“……”

I don't know why he suddenly told me this, as if suddenly the man in front of me changed his soul, looking up at him, still smiling, even with a little warmth, I don't know why I suddenly remembered those days in Yangzhou City, and there was such a warm entanglement, such as in a dream.

Looking at my stunned expression, he seemed to smile again, and said: "Yes, in the end, you did your best to help me, and I almost lost my life, just for such a small wish, if this palace doesn't agree to you, it will be too unkind." He stepped forward again and looked down at me: "Tell me about this palace, what are your plans to go out of the palace, this palace is now rich all over the world, and it will definitely make your dream come true." ”

If anyone else said this, I am afraid that I would be overjoyed, but it was him in front of me - my face became more and more pale, as if I had walked into the forest and suddenly faced a thick fog, and I did not know whether this foot was real or empty.

After a while, I finally reluctantly said: "The slave doesn't have any plans, just take a step and look at a step." ”

"Oh......"

He raised an eyebrow and looked at me, still smiling at me.

My heart is getting more and more uneasy, after talking for so long, he has not answered me affirmatively, whether to give me this opportunity to be amnesty out of the palace, after thinking about it, I simply gritted my teeth and knelt down: "The slave can be amnesty by His Royal Highness out of the palace, I am grateful, Your Highness's gift, the slave and maid dare not accept it, thank Your Highness for the grace of amnesty." ”

After saying that, he kowtowed to him.

He stood in front of me, motionless and bowed, and when I slowly stood up, he looked at me, with no expression on his face, and said lightly: "Okay, you go down." ”

"Your Highness......"

"Two days later, there will be an amnesty in the palace, and when the time comes, this palace will make your dreams come true."

"Your Highness!"

I was overjoyed and blessed him again, and he had turned and walked back into the house.

Finally......

I finally heard him speak!

At this moment, a heart that had been hanging for a long time finally sank, I breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and prepared to leave, but just after taking two steps, I felt that there seemed to be eyes looking at me behind me, even if I didn't look back, I could feel the kindness that the eyes didn't have at all, even with bloodthirsty hideousness.

I felt a chill in my heart, and subconsciously turned my head.

But the moment I turned around, the door of the Chengqian Hall closed.

The vermilion gate reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight, but in a trance, it seemed that the blood of that night had not faded, and the smell of blood diffused from every corner of the imperial city, slowly dyeing the corners of my clothes and even my body.

No! No!

I shook my head vigorously - this qiē is over, it's over!

Pei Yuanhao has already promised to let me out of the palace, and there is no fight in the palace to implicate me, I should be about to be free!

Only after thinking like this did my heart relax, and I hurriedly turned around and left the Chengqian Palace.

Back in the court, Yu'er heard that Father-in-law Yu had called me away, and she had been sitting on the edge of the bed worriedly, and she was relieved to see that I had returned safe and sound.

And I could see at a glance that there were already four or five large cloth bags piled up on her bed.

"Yu'er, you're—"

"My luggage!" She said with a smile: "There are still two days to leave the palace, of course, you have to pack it in advance, if you leave something, you can't come back to get it." ”

yes, if you leave something behind, you can't come back and get it.

Somehow, hearing this witty remark, it was funnier than any joke I had seen in the past, and I swept away the gloom in my heart before, and I was also happy, but it was also a little strange to look at her big baggage: "Where did you get so many belongings?" ”

"Hey, hey, show you."

She proudly unfolded her burden, at a glance, it made people laugh and cry, although this girl usually does things smartly, but packing up the burden is really not good, but a few clothes and some small toys, not properly placed and wrapped up, no wonder there are so many.

I smiled and walked over to help her re-fold her clothes, and wrapped her usual reward and sewed it into the cotton clothes.

Yu'er was stunned from the side: "Qingying, you are really capable." ”

"You're too thick." I had already begun to pack my baggage, folding my clothes and saying, "Seeing that you are so old, why can't you pack it up, and you will be in charge of your own house in the future?" ”

"Yourself?"

Yu'er seemed to remember something, and suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Do you remember, we said before, who do you want to marry?"

As soon as I heard this, my originally smiling face was a little stiff - who I wanted to marry, I had really thought about it with her at the beginning, and Ning Yan in the cold palace, and even Yu'er, who was not ashamed, said it, but at that time, how could I think of it now.

Can I still get married?

Thinking about it like this, my mood darkened, but Yu'er didn't notice it at all, and dragged her chin and longed: "I want to marry someone to do business, well, the house is better three in and three out, and there must be such a big garden, by the way, I also want to raise a dog and a little Jingbaer......"

I folded my clothes silently, and listened to her description of the life she described, such as a bed carved from wenge wood, a large bronze mirror next to the bed, and roses in the yard, and she would soak in rose wine......

"Huh?" As she spoke, Yu'er suddenly stopped and looked at me: "Qingying." ”

"Huh?"

"Who do you want to marry in the future?"

"Me?"

Someone I want to marry.

It's not that I haven't thought about it, and even, I have sketched that scene thousands of times, the phoenix crown is beautiful, the flowers and candles are red, the lover of my life walks hand in hand with me, no matter how hard the days are, even if I have to go through a lot of twists and turns, as long as he is by my side, I am willing to be happy.

As long as there is him, by his side.

At this moment, a familiar face flashed in front of my eyes, and when I realized who that face was, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat all over my body.

No, it's impossible, it's simply impossible for me and him!

I shook my head vigorously, shook off the little thought in my mind, and smiled reluctantly, "I didn't think about it." ”

"Nonsense, the expression you had just now was obviously thinking of something!" Yu'er walked over and grabbed my shoulder and shook it vigorously: "Tell me, I told you, why don't you sue me!" Say it! ”

I was so dizzy that she shook my head, and I really couldn't help it, so I smiled: "Okay, okay, I said." ”

"Tell me, who do you want to marry?"

"I—" I really couldn't say, but when I saw Yu'er staring at me, I said nonsense, "I want to marry a fisherman." ”

"Bang Bang"!

As soon as my words fell, a voice suddenly came out of the door, Yu'er and I were startled, the two of us looked at each other, hurriedly walked over and carefully pushed the door open, only to find that it was pitch black outside, there was no one, only the knocker on the door was clanging.

Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief: "It's probably the wind blowing, close the door, it's cold." ”

I frowned, and looked out again, there was no one, and I was about to close the door, but somehow, I always felt that in the dark night outside, it seemed as if a pair of eyes were watching me, and that feeling was like trying to swallow people.

"Qingying, what's wrong with you, close the door quickly."

Yu'er said again, and when I looked up, it was pitch black outside, and there was nothing.

Perhaps, it's an illusion.

I promised to close the door, and as soon as I returned to the bed and sat down, Yu'er remembered what I had just said and asked, "Qingying, why do you want to marry a fisherman?" ”

She was still thinking about it. I chuckled, "Because, I like to eat fish." ”

When Yu'er heard this, she immediately made a fuss: "It turns out that you entertained me, I can't spare you!" After saying that, he jumped up and pressed me down on the bed and scratched my armpits, and the two of them rolled around laughing and laughing, and after a long time, they cleaned up a little and fell asleep.

That night, I lay in bed, looking at the dark roof, but I was so excited that I didn't feel sleepy at all.

I'm finally ready to leave the palace!

One day to go, I'll finally be able to get out of here!

I don't know why, I heard the voice outside the door just now, I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, but, there is no one outside the house, is it really just my illusion?
