371.Chapter 371: Do You Still Want to Settle with Me?
Pei Yuanhao kept holding me, the expression on his face was very solemn, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "Go out." ”
"Yes."
The imperial medical guards and palace maids who knelt on the ground kowtowed as if they had been pardoned at this time and hurriedly retreated, and the jade father-in-law stood up and looked at me, as if he nodded reassuringly, and then glanced at me, and then turned around and retreated.
The door was also closed.
He slowly sat on the head of the bed, hugged me a little tighter, the wound on his body was pressed by him for some reason, and the pain made me tremble, but he did not relax at all, he held me in his arms with both hands, lowered his head gently, and blew on my face with a familiar smell, every qiē was like the past.
Not yet in those broken memories.
"The Emperor's ......"
I was about to say something, but he gently pressed the back of my hand with his hand: "It's okay." ”
"Don't kill ......"
"It's okay."
"Really?"
"Well, it's okay."
The sentence "It's okay" sounded faintly in my ears, blowing like a gentle wind, and I really calmed down, and my originally stiff body slowly relaxed, soft enough to be in his arms.
"Don't worry, it's okay.
"Hmmm......"
The feeling of sleepiness hit again, I slowly closed my eyes, and the warm embrace behind me never left, just hugged me tightly, the familiar body temperature through the clothes ironed to the heart, even the dream is no longer so terrible, as if only the warm wind blows, soft, warm.
In such a dream, I slowly fell asleep.
This time I fell asleep just and not fainted, so the person was still clear. I could feel someone holding me all the time, my arms, shoulders, and ankles all drugged, and the cool feeling made me shrink a little, and I was immediately hugged tighter.
Although the body is not much better, the spirit is really relaxed.
When I woke up again, I don't know how much time had passed, but I had regained some strength, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the flickering candlelight in a room.
The person was still a little vague, and someone immediately walked to the bedside, rolled my eyelids, picked up my wrist and carefully examined it for a while, and then heard a voice say: "Your Majesty, she has carried it, and there is no big problem." ”
I frowned, opened my eyes with great effort, and saw Father-in-law Yu holding the dust by the bed, and stepped forward with a happy expression on his face: "Young girl, you are awake." ”
"Father-in-law Yu......?"
"But--it scares us out, it's fine." After speaking, he turned to the other end and said, "Your Majesty." ”
I turned my head slowly, and I saw that not far from the bed, Pei Yuanhao was sitting in a chair, Tie Qing's face eased a little at this time, got up and walked to the bedside, slowly sat down and looked down at me: "Are you better?" ”
“……”
When I woke up, many of my memories were clear, and I immediately remembered the scene on the execution ground.
Blood was flying, swords and swords, and the chaotic crowd all appeared in front of him again.
One qiē, it's late......
One qiē, it's all over!
Thinking of this, my eyes were slightly red, all the efforts I had made in the past may have been ruined the moment the steel knife fell, but I was not awake, and I was comforted by him with simple words for so long in my dreams.
Looking at my appearance, he frowned: "What are you thinking again?" ”
"Your Majesty, you killed all those people, right?"
“……”
He didn't answer, and I couldn't speak, just gently pulled the quilt up a little and lowered my head to bury my face in it.
Pei Yuanhao frowned, reached out and pulled off the quilt, I bit my lower lip and turned my face away again.
I turned my face sideways inward, and he sat on the edge of the bed looking at me, the two of them seemed to be at a stalemate, but the atmosphere was not too stiff, Yu Gonggong stood next to him and watched carefully, and didn't say anything. After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and when he reached the door, he stopped, and he hurried out.
After being quiet for a while, he turned around and walked in again, and whispered in Pei Yuanhao's ear: "Your Majesty, everything is ready." ”
"Hmm."
Get ready? What to prepare?
I was still secretly thinking in my heart, he suddenly lifted the quilt hard, and suddenly a chill hit, I turned my head to look at him in shock, only to see him pull a thin blanket wrapped around me, I didn't react, he had been hugged with the blanket.
"What are you doing?!"
I was so stunned that I forgot to speak honorifics.
He just looked down at me, didn't say a word, and walked out the back door with me in his arms.
At this time, it was already night, and it was pitch black as soon as he went out, only a glass lamp in the hand of the jade father-in-law emitted a faint light to illuminate the road ahead, he strode forward, although he couldn't see anything next to him, but faintly heard the sound of Xi Xi Suosuo, who should be accompanied by a guard.
What is he going to do?
Although I didn't know, I also understood that he didn't want others to know, so he went out the back door, so I also closed my mouth, and after a while we walked out through a door behind the inner courtyard, and the carriage was already set up and waiting, and he carried me directly into the car, and as soon as the curtain was lowered, the carriage staggered away from behind.
This carriage does not look like the emperor's royal use, the decoration is very simple, but it is not slow, so it is also a little bumpy, but he has always held me in his arms, except for the bumps, but there are no injuries on my body.
“…… Where are you going? ”
I cautiously opened my mouth to ask him, but he closed his eyes and said nothing, I looked at him for a while, but I couldn't get an answer, so I could only close my mouth and close my eyes.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt him open them, although I didn't see them, but the feeling of being watched by that gaze was very familiar, and his snort was just above his head, so close to his face, and the broken hair pressed against the skin brought a tingling sensation, I shrank slightly.
but it was retracted into his arms.
His breathing seemed to pause, and then he heard his deep voice ringing in his ears: "Sleep for a while." There is still some way to go. ”
“……”
There was no sound in the carriage, only the monotonous sound of the wheels hitting the slate, and the swaying in the carriage made it easy to fall asleep, but these days I probably slept too long, but I got up and listened to his breathing and the heartbeat close to my ears, and walked all the way.
Finally, the carriage stopped.
The eyes were closed, but the ears were more refreshed, and I seemed to hear the wind blowing through the leaves, and although there were trees in the state capital, it seemed to be far less than here, and there were some insects chirping, much louder than I usually heard.
When he opened his eyes, he also opened his eyes, and the people outside the carriage had already come over and lifted the curtain: "Your Majesty." ”
He picked me up and walked down.
It was so dark outside that I couldn't see my fingers, and although it was not dark with lanterns in the hands of a few guards around, it was impossible to illuminate such a late night, and I realized that this was actually a wild woodland!
When I turned around, I saw the high city gate towering behind me, like a giant beast in the night!
Why did he bring me here?
I looked at him with wide eyes of astonishment, and he glanced to the side, and another carriage slowly came out of the dark woods, and came to a halt in front of us.
The guards walked over and lifted the curtains, tearing a few people down from them.
Those people were all blindfolded, their hands tied behind their backs, and their hair was unkempt, and my heart jumped as soon as I saw this scene.
He winked, and the guard stepped forward and tore off the black cloth from the faces of the men, who looked around cautiously in some confusion, and seemed to be taken aback at the sight of us, and were so shocked that they could not speak.
I already recognized that familiar face—
"Brother Mo!"
"Young Girl?"
He called me, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the person holding me, and suddenly his face became ugly, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Dog Emperor, what do you want to do?" ”
As soon as I heard this, my heart tightened, and I hurriedly opened my mouth to stop them, but I saw Pei Yuanhao raise his eyes lightly and glanced at those guards, and they immediately drew their knives and walked over, but it was a knife that cut the cow tendon rope on the wrists of those people.
Mo Tieyi and the others were stunned for a moment, touching their scarred wrists and looking at him in disbelief.
"Y-what do you mean?"
He looked at them coldly: "Go back." ”
Mo Tieyi and the others looked at each other, and they were even more strange: "You, you don't kill us?" ”
He sneered: "If I want to kill you, you will survive today?" ”
When Mo Tieyi heard this, his face immediately sank, and I hurriedly said, "Brother Mo, go back quickly." ”
After saying this, I coughed twice, and the corners of my mouth faintly saw red bloodshots, and when they saw that I was weak and weak, and there were bandaged marks on my body and hands, they hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm fine." I waved my hand and said, "The emperor really wants to let you go." Lord Liu is dead, and the emperor was supposed to ask you to behead you for the canonical punishment, but he still let you go back. ”
"What do you mean?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "If the child does something wrong, he can't be killed, but he must be taught slowly." ”
As soon as they heard this, many expressions flashed on their faces, doubts, puzzlement, hesitation and confusion, and I said: "The emperor really wants to depose the untouchable people in the south, so he will send Lord Liu to the south, and now he himself has also taken hundreds of civil and military officials to the south to inspect the people's situation. You assassinated the court officials this time, and the emperor used a trick to calm down the anger of the people, but you can't do it every time. Brother Mo, you can't make trouble anymore, otherwise if you continue like this, you will be sinners in the south. ”
They looked at me with wide eyes, and then looked at Pei Yuanhao, Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything coldly, hugged me and turned back to the carriage, and the rest of the people stood in the night.
"Let's go!"
Like a whip, the carriage staggered forward again.
After so long and bumpy travel in the middle of the night, the cold wind had just blown, and after talking so much, I gradually became a little out of breath, and my face was horribly pale, he carefully put me on the soft blanket and gently stroked my back to help me calm down.
There was no light in the carriage, only the outline of his face and the obsidian eyes that glittered in the darkness through the flickering curtains.
I was a little uncomfortable to be looked at by that gaze, and subconsciously lowered my eyes, and I heard his voice in the empty carriage.
"Do you still want to settle with me?"
