I walked over step by step with the box in my hand, this road was not long, but it was more difficult than ever before, as if the box of pills in my hand weighed a thousand pounds, so that I could hardly breathe, and every step could drag me down.

However, there is still an end to the road.

I finally walked to the bottom of the steps, looked up at the closed door in front of me, obviously there were a lot of sounds coming from inside, the sound of the palace ladies running back and forth, the sound of the imperial doctor trembling and talking, and the sound of rushing water, but I felt a strange quiet, or silence, although there were so many sounds, but I could not hear anything clearly, and the whirring in my ears seemed like blood was rushing wildly.

Only the man's breath penetrated the doors and windows, and together, one volt, all ringed clearly in my ears.

I bit my lower lip tightly, and I heard the anxious voice of the imperial doctor coming from inside: "Where's the medicine?" ”

"Hurry up, go get it!"

There was the sound of hurried footsteps inside, and then the door was opened suddenly, and a little palace maid was about to run out in a panic, and when she saw me and the box in my hand, she was stunned for a moment before saying, "Young girl? ”

Of course, they were familiar with me, but they didn't expect me to come here to deliver medicine, and they didn't react for a while.

I spoke, my voice still a little hoarse: "I'll deliver the medicine." ”

"Oh? Oh......"

She hurriedly turned sideways, and I walked in with the box in my hand.

There was a strong smell of blood and an oppressive smell in the room.

Pei Yuanhao sat at the table in the center of the room, one hand on his knees, the other on the table, his condensed face had no expression at all, and there was no temperature, exuding that kind of evil aura was emanating from him, as if it was going to freeze the whole room into ice.

Dark eyes keep staring at the inner room.

Through a layer of veil, you can faintly see that on the extravagant bed inside, Nangong Lizhu is lying quietly. Her pale face was set off by the bright yellow brocade, which became more and more bloodless, and the almost transparent clarity made her whole person look so unreal.

The blood stains on her face have been wiped clean, and the small wounds have not had time to be treated, which does not damage her beauty at all, and looking at such a beauty through the veil will only be more beautiful, and it will make people want to pity it in the palm of their hands.

I walked over slowly and brought the medicine to an imperial doctor: "This is medicine. ”

The imperial doctor turned around impatiently and just wanted to say something, but when he saw that it was me, the expression on his face suddenly changed a few times, and Pei Yuanhao turned his head when he heard my voice, and something seemed to flash on his calm face for a moment.

But, before I could see clearly, I had regained my composure.

He got up and walked up to me, frowned slightly and looked down at me, and said, "Who asked you to come?" ”

"Slave maid, I'm here to deliver medicine."

"Go back!"

“……”

I looked up at the angular face, just before, this face was still buried in the green silk and smiled softly at me, the thin and hot lips kissed my skin, but now, every qiē seemed to have changed suddenly, so strange.

"Go back!"

He said again, and seeing that I was still not moving, his eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and he grinded his teeth slightly and said, "What the hell are you—"

Before he finished speaking, a very soft moan came from within.

He and I turned our heads at the same time, and I saw that the beauty on the bed frowned slightly, her pale face showed a sad expression, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her autumn-like eyes.

As soon as he heard this, his face immediately changed again, and he hurriedly turned around and brushed off the veil and walked in, and the three imperial doctors inside were so frightened that they hurriedly withdrew and fell to their knees, not daring to speak again.

He walked over to the bed and looked down at the person on the bed.

At this time, Nangong Lizhu had already come to his senses, and he also looked up at him with his eyes open. It was really close, perhaps closer than any I had ever seen before, so close that he could touch this man as soon as he stretched out his hand, and so close that she could enter his arms as soon as she was together.

But the two of them, neither of them moved, as if the distance was not caused by anyone, but from the beginning, it should have been between them.

I don't know how long it took, Pei Yuanhao finally raised his hand and probed into her face.

Just when his fingertips were still a little distance from that beautiful face, Nangong Lizhu tilted his head away from his hand.

"Don't touch me."

Her voice was very light, and her voice was so soft that it was like a spring breeze blowing on her face, but this spring breeze seemed to be blowing from a snowy mountain, although it was soft, but inside it was the coldness of ice and snow.

His fingers seemed to freeze there.

The surrounding royal doctors and the palace maids who served all changed their faces, looked left and right, and immediately got up and retreated.

I think I should also quit, people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and I have clearly felt that staying has no benefit to me at all, but the two legs are not only heavy, but they are more like they have been nailed here, and they can't move anymore, so they can only stand stupidly at the other end of the veil, looking at Pei Yuanhao's familiar face with a deeper and deeper expression at this moment.

After a while, he slowly withdrew his hand and stood up straight to look at her.

"Why are you leaving?"

“……”

"Why are you here?"

In contrast, his voice was as dry as a knife cutting through the sand, with an indescribable heaviness, he slowly leaned down, until he came to Nangong Lizhu's face, the two of them almost touched the tip of their noses, and there was nothing else in their eyes except for each other: "Since you don't want to see me, why don't you keep hiding?" ”

“……”

"Why are you in front of me?"

Nangong Lizhu looked at him indifferently, there had never been a woman who could look at Pei Yuanhao indifferently at such a time, but she was like this, even if she was covered in bruises, she did not have the slightest cowardice.

"Why do you ask me?" She said indifferently: "This qiē, isn't it what you want?" ”

"What?"

Pei Yuanhao frowned and stared at her tightly: "What did you say?" ”

Nangong Lizhu's delicate cherry lips hooked a corner slightly, and said, "Why are you still like this?" If you want to see me, you can turn the entire Yangzhou City over, if you want to kill me, it is also a sentence of kung fu, why bother to fake others? ”

She lifted the thin quilt on her body, slowly stood up, looked up at Pei Yuanhao who was slightly shocked, but her smile was still peaceful, so peaceful that it made people feel as if they were just talking about the most ordinary thing-

"If I really want to die at the hands of one man, I want that person to be you."

“……”

"In this way, even in front of the Hades Palace, it is a cause and effect."

I was so shocked that I couldn't speak-Pei Yuanhao wants her to die? How can it be?

Pei Yuanhao was also shocked, but he was much calmer than me, looked at Nangong Lizhu's eyes fixedly, and said, "You know, I won't hurt you." No matter what time it is. ”

Nangong Lizhu said: "In the past, I believed, but now-" The autumn-like eyes glanced at me lightly, and then took it back without a trace, looked at Pei Yuanhao and said: "People will change." Nothing stays the same forever, so you're going to kill me, and I don't blame you. ”

"I said, I didn't."

"Since there isn't, why did those people who went back to the crude medicine shop do it to me?"

"What did you say?!"

Pei Yuanhao's eyes widened in astonishment, and I was also stunned when I heard this.

The people in the medicine shop, do it to her?

Mo Tieyi them?

She was covered in injuries just now, and her blood-stained clothes looked like she was definitely attacked, but I couldn't have imagined that it was Mo Tieyi and them, but how could it be? Mo Tieyi, how could they kill her?

Nangong Lizhu looked at us in astonishment, and sneered again: "Didn't they listen to you?" Haven't you always wanted to recruit those people? If they hadn't really surrendered to you, how could they suddenly do something to me? ”

Pei Yuanhao said in a deep voice: "I want to recruit them, but I only let those people go back, and it didn't work out, how can I let them do something to you?" ”

Nangong Lizhu laughed: "Who are you, what am I, don't we know each other best?" ”

“……”

"You said that no one can stand in your way. Including me, isn't it? ”

“……”

"They were put back by you, but just yesterday, those people left behind my back, and I don't know who they came out to see. However, how could other people know about the transaction between Shengjing and the royal family back then, naturally only your people, if those people hadn't met with your people in private and were provoked, how could I have been stabbed so much? ”

Yesterday?!

Mo Tieyi: They did come out yesterday; Moreover, they met with me, and I did tell them about the deal between Katsukyo and the Imperial Family.

My brain buzzed with a bang.

Could it be that because of what I said, they really thought that Shengjing's people had deceived them and acted on Nangong Lizhu in a fit of rage?

Pei Yuanhao's body also stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look at me.

I stood there with a pale face, the veil being blown up by a gust of wind from nowhere, and he stepped out step by step, lifted the veil in front of me, and walked in front of me, looking down at me.

"Where did you go yesterday?"

“…… February red. ”

"Who did you meet?"

“…… Mo Tieyi. ”

"What did you tell them?"

“……”

My whole body was covered in cold sweat, and the fear in my heart had slowly taken shape, spreading all over my body, and even my heart was about to stop beating.

Raising my head with the last bit of strength, I couldn't speak anymore, my lips were trembling, looking at his eyes that were as cold as ice, that kind of look - when he was in the palace, when he knew that I had killed Liu Ningyan, when I confessed to murdering Xu Youling, he looked at me like this.

I don't like it, I don't get angry, but I don't seem to have any feelings.

I clenched my fists hard and struggled to speak, "I'm not—"

"Smack", before I finished my words, a slap hit me in the face.
