Hearing that familiar voice ringing in my ears, many memories that had been left behind for a while flooded back, and I couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Blood sprayed on the snow-white clothes, like pieces of red plum petals sprinkled on the snow, dazzling and terrifying, those strong and gentle arms hugged me tighter, and the peaceful voice was also a little trembling: "Young baby! Green Baby! ”

My cheeks rubbed against the warm chest, and I looked up softly to see the face as handsome as a fairy in the firelight.

Already, many years, gone.

Although he hasn't seen him for many years, and the people around him are changing, he doesn't seem to have changed, he still has a familiar outline, still the same face, and even the same as in the original memory, with clear eyebrows, a face like a crown of jade, and a white dress like snow still with a peerless appearance, and it seems like a warm spring sun in the dark night. It's just that those eyes that were as calm as a lake broke the previous calm and looked at me with great trepidation.

"Young Baby!"

Pei Yuanxiu......

It's him.

I fell softly into his arms, only to feel the pain all over my body convulsions, but I don't know where the strength came from, grabbed his sleeve hard, wanted to say something, but no longer had the strength to speak. He hugged me tighter, and there was a light in those eyes that I had never seen before, and he picked me up with all his might.

The people around were all silent at this moment, and none of them dared to speak, only Butu stepped forward and whispered: "Childe......"

He didn't listen to a word at all, didn't even glance at the people around him, turned around and left.

I was weakly held in his arms, and I only looked at the dark sky in the distance, as if a faint light was shining through the night, and the woman in brocade kept standing beside me, looking at me with needle-point eyes, looking at the man holding me until we were far away.

For the rest of the day, my world was chaotic.

I didn't faint, even if I was about to lose consciousness at times, and the pain in my body would immediately pull me out of the dark abyss and continue to suffer; And there is still a fire burning in my heart, I want to ask, I want to find, but I don't have the strength to ask, to find, I don't even have the strength to open my eyes and open my mouth, to see and speak.

I could only feel that I had been held in that warm embrace, and I didn't know how many places I had walked, and I didn't know how many people came up to greet me, and how much chaos I caused, and I never let go of my hands.

I don't know how long the chaos lasted, and a somewhat old voice said, "Her poison is already very deep. ”

"That's—"

"Don't worry."

In just two words, I seemed to sense someone breathing a sigh of relief.

I don't know how long later, someone wiped my hands with a warm and moist handkerchief, carefully brushed away the messy broken hair on my face, and after a while, I felt a cool on the top of my head, and a silver needle pierced into my skin, I frowned slightly, and subconsciously struggled, but was immediately surrounded by those hands, gentle but hard: "It's okay." ”

The needle pierced deeper and deeper, and the ensuing pain made me whimper: "Hmm......"

"It's fine."

The voice was as gentle as a spring breeze blowing in my ears, bringing bursts of tingling and warm breath, although the pain and the discomfort of the poison would not be alleviated by that gentleness, but the voice never stopped, and seemed to give me a trace of strength, I finally gritted my teeth and survived the saddest time.

Then, I heard a person's sigh again, very soft, as if I had finally let go of my heart, and I seemed to let go of the burden in my heart and slowly fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took for me to finally wake up, and I opened my eyes in silence.

I thought that the environment was as quiet as in the dream, and it should be me alone, but I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my eyes, I met a pair of gentle and clear eyes, and looked at me with a little smile in an arc.

I wasn't awake for a moment, just looking at the familiar silhouette in the morning light.

"You're awake."

“……”

"Are you feeling better?"

“……”

I was still ignorant and didn't speak, he chuckled lightly, stretched out his hand to brush the hair on my forehead, and I saw the face with a gentle smile: "It's too ......"

I don't know how to speak.

He is no longer the prince, nor is he the Yuan Gongzi in Dongzhou who protects me in the rain of arrows, I have never known a lot about this man in front of me, and now, I don't know how to say the first word to him.

"Great." He said, and the warm palm imprinted on my forehead: "If there is no fever, it is controlled." ”

"Huh?"

"Your poison."

"Ah......h

"Don't worry."

"Ah......h

He said a word, I took a sentence, but still not very sober, stunned to look at him for a long time, obviously there seemed to be a lot of things to say, a lot of questions to ask, but I can't speak, I can't ask, only slowly stretched out his hand to support his body, he saw me move, immediately came over and carefully supported my arms and shoulders, with the soft pillow next to me behind me, so that I can comfortably lean on the head of the bed, and then tucked the quilt up.

"If you feel unwell, sue me."

“……”

I finally came to my senses, and met his eyes that had been faint, but seemed to be rippling with a smile, and said a little dryly: "Your Highness......"

Even my own voice had a hint of hesitation, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile: "Why do you call me like that? ”

"I ......"

"I'm no longer Your Highness, and this world is not yet the time for me to call Your Highness."

I looked up at him, was silent for a while, and then heard him say, "Qingying, you can actually call me ......"

"Childe."

A faint smile appeared in front of my pale lips: "Long time no see." ”

His face was still calm as usual, and his smile was gentle as usual: "I've been looking for you for a long time." ”

I looked at him with my eyes wide open, and at this time my slightly clearer mind barely cleared up some things, and looked around again. I am in a delicate room, there are not many furnishings around, but a few simple utensils can see the mind and elegant taste of the placer, even the goose-yellow bed on the head, the delicate embroidery is also from the treasures of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau.

This is definitely not an ordinary room, nor is it something that an ordinary prince in distress can have.

I thought about it for a moment, and said with some difficulty: "Are you ...... Gangnam is ......"

"Yes." He smiled and nodded generously: "The six provinces of Jiangnan are mine now." ”

Looking at his smile, for some reason, I felt that his words didn't seem to be finished.

The six provinces south of the Yangtze River are now his.

And what about the future? What else, could it be his?

I suddenly didn't dare to think about it, and at this moment, the thread that had been wrapped around my heart was also tightened, and I hurriedly said, "What about Li'er? I, my daughter, am I—"

"Don't worry, she's with me."

As soon as I heard this, I immediately felt that my heart, which had been holding for all these years, was completely relaxed.

My daughter, my departed son, was really fine, and was really rescued by him, by his side.

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but laugh, and subconsciously grabbed his sleeve: "Thank you!" Thank you! ”

Pei Yuanxiu shook his head with a smile, and said calmly: "When I was in Dongzhou, I just wanted to see her, but who knew that I encountered an accident, I saw that those people were actually coming for her, and they took her away in a hurry." I had wanted to find a chance to send her back, but I was very badly injured at that time, and it was not easy for you, to see you. ”

By the way, I remember that Nangong Lizhu told me that he was seriously injured when he took Li'er away, and even guessed that he had suffered an accident, which also brought me a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from all these years, and now it seems that he is okay, and even when he talks about the original incident, he himself is faint, but I can vaguely understand how thrilling the original change was.

It's just that by that time, I was already "crazy".

He said slowly: "I was taken to Jiangnan, and when I recovered from my injuries, there were many things, so I have been delayed all these years. ”

I shook my head: "So, where is she now?" I want to see her! ”

Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me and grabbed his sleeve hard, and said with a hint of apology: "Now, it's not okay." ”

My heart sank: "Why? ”

"She went to the temple to make a vow."

"Ah......h

"This child, when I took her out of Dongzhou, I also suffered a little. In addition, she was born with bad congenital conditions, and her body has been very weak over the years, so I asked her to go to the temple to hang her name, and every year she has to go to the temple to eat fast and make vows. Now is the time for her to go. ”

As I listened, I felt regret and heartache in my heart. It's a pity that he has already arrived on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and he has even met Pei Yuanxiu, thinking that he will be able to see his daughter soon, but he can't do it immediately; The heartache is that I, as a mother, have done nothing for her over the years, even the hardships I endured when I was pregnant with her, and her congenital deficiencies were all brought to her by me.

As soon as I thought of this, my eyes turned red and I lowered my head slightly.

The warm hand carefully touched my shoulder and said softly, "Don't be sad. For the moment, you should detoxify first and take care of your body. When she comes back, we will not be separated for the rest of our lives. ”

“……”

My heart moved slightly, and I looked up at him.

Except for the panic at first sight in the night, he was the same as in the past, with a faint smile and gentle words, as if he completely coincided with the His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who looked through the classics in the Inner Pavilion in my memory, and the years in between were just my years, and he was the same.

My lips moved, but I couldn't speak.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a creak was heard, and the door was pushed open.
