At this moment, I was completely at a loss, so I could only hug Ping'er hard, looking at him almost as if asking for help - what should I do? What now? What can I do to make Ping'er feel better? What should I do to make the seventh sister-in-law and the second girl accept this fact?

Pei Yuanxiu seemed to understand my words from my eyes, and said calmly: "Don't worry, go back now." ”

“……”

"It's cold outside, and besides, it's not a way to do it at her door."

“……”

"Go back first. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'm here. ”

His words were very calm, but very powerful, I seemed to be relieved when I heard it, nodded slightly, and then reached out to hug Ping'er in his arms: "Ping'er, go back with Aunt Qing first, let's go back first." ”

Ping'er didn't speak, and he couldn't cry anymore, he could only vaguely see his red eyes, but those dark eyes had lost their minds.

This time Ping'er followed our carriage back, the carriage was naturally not spacious, I was very uncomfortable, and I could only protect the child all the time, although the road was flat, but the slight shaking still made me a little difficult, at this moment, I felt a warm ironing behind me, as soon as I turned around, I saw Pei Yuanxiu sitting behind me.

He said softly, "You can also rest for a while." ”

"I ......"

"Don't speak."

His voice was soft, low and still endlessly gentle, and I nodded obediently, carefully leaning sideways on his shoulder.

How did I go back, I have no memory, it seems that I fell asleep in the middle of the way, and when I woke up in a heavy way, I immediately hurriedly looked for Ping'er, but saw that the child was lying on the edge of the bed, one hand was still pressed on my quilt, and he fell asleep with red circles under his eyes.

Pei Yuanxiu sat on the side and looked at me, and when he saw me wake up, he immediately said, "Are you better?" ”

"How am I—"

"The poison in your body hasn't been solved yet, it's going to be like this."

I frowned, rubbed my forehead, which was still a little swollen, and then looked at Ping'er, the child was still asleep, and the dry tears on his face looked very wolfy, and I didn't know how long he cried, and I couldn't comfort him properly.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as he sighed, Ping'er woke up immediately, he raised his head, and lay on the side of the bed a little ignorantly, his red eyes were full of water vapor. I hurriedly reached over and gently stroked his shoulder: "Ping'er." ”

He turned his head to look at me, as if he had come to his senses a little: "Aunt Qing." ”

The voice was still crying, looking at his aggrieved appearance, I was distressed, and hurriedly said softly: "Don't be afraid, Aunt Qing is here." ”

"What should I tell my mother," he said, and cried again: "I knew I wouldn't have come, I should have listened to my mother, I shouldn't have come." ”

I can't speak, everyone has the right to pursue the truth, but the truth is often the most hurtful.

Who would have thought that a Yangtze River and a blockade order would expose so many ugliness, and I thought that there would be hope for a family reunion after crossing it, but who knows, it was the beginning of a broken family?

And...... Not only is there a problem at hand, but there is also one that I don't think about and dare not say.

I could only comfort Ping'er all the time, and when he was tired of crying, his voice was hoarse, Pei Yuanxiu called someone to take him down to take care of him, and he walked back to the bed by himself, looked at my deeply locked brow, and suddenly stretched out his hand and rubbed it in the center of my eyebrows.

I was startled, looked up at him, and said, "I don't want to see you like this." ”

“……”

"With me, don't frown."

His voice was low and magnetic, and it felt tender and piercing to my ears, and I turned my face a little confused and nodded.

Looking at the tips of my reddened ears, he was silent for a moment.

The room was very quiet, only the breath of two people remained, his breathing was long, and my heart was more and more numb, as if even he himself felt my shortness of breath, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he slowly straightened up, and I was slightly relieved.

He paused for a moment and asked, "Do you have any plans?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "I want to accompany him across the river and go home, is that okay?" ”

"......" Pei Yuanxiu stood beside the bed, his tall figure covered the candlelight behind him, and I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and I became cautious, looking at him with a little sincerity.

"I promise, I'll be fine."

Speaking of which, I'm not a twenty-eight young man anymore, and I also made a look like a child asking for sugar gourds to eat, I felt embarrassed, Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me, his face was calm and expressionless, but the corners of his eyes were a little crooked: "Guarantee?" Can you really do it? ”

"I can."

"But I don't believe it."

"Ah......h

I was stunned, and saw that the corners of his eyes were even more crooked, as if he was playing word games with me, and I was about to say something, when I heard his voice laugh and said, "I want to follow you and watch you." ”

I was stunned.

He, cross the river with me?

After coming here, I didn't go out to see the customs and customs here, nor did I go to see the water army camp on the river, but I know his current identity very well, especially when I saw the appearance of Gou Er that night, he went to Yangzhou Mansion to report to the official, but those people were able to bring him over, and the relationship between Yangzhou Mansion and Pei Yuanxiu is self-evident.

But, crossing the river?

Anyway, Yangzhou is still nominally the Shu land of the imperial court, and there may not be no people from the imperial court there, is he really not worried about his own safety in the past?

Seeing that I was a little hesitant, he suddenly smiled, as if happy: "Are you worried about me? ”

"I—"

I want to say that of course, no matter what, of course I will care about his safety, but looking at me with his eyes smiling crookedly, those two words are a little unspeakable, and he bit his lower lip hesitantly, and then said softly: "Won't it be dangerous for you to cross the river?" ”

Without waiting for my answer, he seemed a little lost, but his eyes were only gloomy for a moment, and then he smiled again and said, "It's okay." ”

"How's that going to work? You-"

"I said, I'm going to look at you."

"No, I don't."

"I still have to find an antidote."

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment and looked at him with wide eyes: "Antidote? ”

"Hmm." He nodded and said, "He, Yao Lao, he has already sued me, he can suppress your poison, but if you want to detoxify, it is best to find someone who poisoned you." In the past few days, I have sent people to closely supervise the coastal ferries, and there are no private boats coming back, and they should still be on the north shore. I'll accompany you to the past, it's the best. ”

"But—"

"Don't." He gently interrupted me and said, "No matter what, nothing is more important than giving you an antidote. You also want to see Li'er and live with her for a long time, peacefully, don't you? ”

“……”

This time, I couldn't say anything more, and I couldn't refuse the kind of warm temptation he depicted.

I can still survive and persist to this day, isn't it just to leave my son?

So, I nodded lightly, looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, Childe, I'm causing you trouble again." ”

Hearing this, he was silent for a moment, still smiling: "Qingying, can you, don't tell me this." ”

I could only smile and bow my head.

Since it has been decided to cross the river, of course, the sooner the better.

Pei Yuanxiu gave an order, naturally there are many people who dot it, but I, the client, am the most idle, still sitting idly at the head of the bed to nourish my spirit, only when Ping'er is by his side, I will bother to comfort him, more often, it seems that Pei Yuanxiu came to comfort me.

When I left the next morning, Yao Lao boiled a bowl of thick black medicine and brought it to me to drink.

can endure hardship like me, after drinking the bowl of medicine, I was almost so bitter that I cried, my whole face was wrinkled, my tongue was so bitter that I was unconscious, Yao Lao looked at me with a smile next to me, and said: "If you are more ruthless to yourself next time, the old man can also be ruthless." ”

I couldn't cry or laugh, and I endured the discomfort and handed the empty bowl to the maid next to me.

Pei Yuanxiu stood next to him, but he didn't come to help, but only carefully helped me out of bed. With Yao Lao's conditioning, my body doesn't seem to be as uncomfortable as before, and I can barely walk for a while, but no matter what little things are, even if there are groups of maids around me, Pei Yuanxiu still does it himself. I couldn't refuse, so I could only bear it silently, and I was half-supported and half-hugged by his warm and powerful big hands, and walked out carefully.

Before getting into the carriage, Pei Yuanxiu turned around and said to the medicine elder who came to see him off: "You should worry about the matter here." ”

"Go ahead. Someone immediately reported the news. ”

"Hmm."

"This girl's poison can at least suppress her for a while, but it's better to find those people as soon as possible."

"Got it."

Pei Yuanxiu nodded, and then carried me into the carriage.

The carriage drove all the way, not in a hurry, but soon heard the sound of the river murmuring in front of me, through the curtain can also smell the fishy water in the breath, I was originally sitting in the corner, the soft mattress behind me almost let me sleep comfortably, this time I was refreshed, hurriedly straightened up, opened the curtain on the side.

As far as the eye can see, it is the vast Yangtze River.

After all, this is not the first time I have seen the Yangtze River, I have seen it countless times in the past, but I have never been so profound at this moment, and I also noticed that there is no water camp on this section of the riverbank, just a temporary ferry, and the boat docked in front is not too big.

I understood immediately.

Although he accompanied me across the river, he did not make it public, it was just a low-key private act.

That's fine.

At this time, I didn't have the heart and energy to discern who was right and who was wrong, I only had one of the purest wishes, which was also my original intention - I didn't want anyone to be hurt. That's fine.

I subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but I heard the breathing of someone next to me tighten.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw Ping'er also lying beside me, poking his head out to look at Jiang Shui carefully, his eyes were full of complicated feelings that were completely inconsistent with his age.

His crossing of the river from north to south ruined his hopes.

What will happen when you cross the river this time?
