Only those who were already near Jiujiang could have rushed to Jiangnan in such a short time, and near Jiujiang, the person with a Shu accent was the one who attacked and tried to kidnap Li'er when Shen Xiaokun told me at the beginning.

I looked at Pei Yuanfeng, trembling slightly, and my eyes were a little red.

This is the answer I am most reluctant to face, no matter how much speculation I have had before, and even in my heart, but I have always allowed myself to deny it, and I don't even want to think about this mystery anymore.

But now, with his appearance, I can't help but face it.

I looked him straight in the eye and didn't blink: "You sue me, who is the one who attacked Li'er?" ”

"It's me."

His face was pale, but he replied to me dryly.

At this moment, I only felt like I had been hit the back of the head, and for a moment I only felt that my eyes were blank, and I forgot to breathe.

Although, too long has passed, it doesn't mean that I will forget, when I am still a precarious palace maid, still in that suffocating palace, fortified everywhere, step by step, even say a word before thinking about it, just afraid that a word wrong will lead to catastrophe, but in that environment, in that state of mind, the person I believe in the most is him.

But now, he himself told me that he was the one who attacked my daughter and wanted to take my daughter!

My voice trembled: "Why? ”

His eyes flickered, and then a very soft voice came from behind him-

"Yuanfeng?"

I trembled as if I had been pricked by a needle, and when I turned around, I saw Xue Muhua standing on the corridor, holding on to the pillar and looking at us, with a faint calm smile on her face, and even nodded to me: "You are still talking." ”

The tense breath just now seemed to be suddenly cut off by her appearance, I calmed down a little, Pei Yuanfeng's face also returned to normal, and smiled at her: "It's over." ”

With that, he walked past me.

I slowly turned my head and looked at the familiar back, I don't know what his mood was at this moment, I only knew that my heart was sinking as if I had pressed a heavy stone, and it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and I could only stand in place and not dare to move, I kept watching him walk in front of Xue Muhua, Xue Muhua smiled at him and whispered something, the atmosphere between the two people was extraordinarily gentle.

Then, she subconsciously looked at me, as if relieved.

Looking at her like this, I suddenly felt another wave of sadness welling up.

She, still the same she, like any woman, is cautious of her beloved, will be jealous, and will subconsciously worry that he is with other women, but now she has no extreme attitude and harsh methods in the past, no violent and irreparable attitude, even if she is not at ease, it is only herself who suffers, not others.

If...... At that time, she was like this, how good should it be?

If...... Huang Tianba met her like this, how good should it be?

But I know that no matter how sorry I feel, it's too late. She drank the marrow washing flower, and she had cut off all the possibilities between her and Huang Tianba, now I think back, when Huang Tianba appeared on the battlefield in Dongzhou with injuries, those amorous eyes revealed an unprecedented gloom, at that time, I only knew that he was attacked by others on the way to Beijing to report on work, and almost died, when I asked him, who hurt him, he compared five fingers.

Later, after I recovered my memory, I learned that he was talking about Pei Yuanfeng.

However, if it was only Pei Yuanfeng who attacked him, he would not have suffered such a big blow, and even the whole person seemed to be slumped, now I understand that among the people who attacked him at the beginning, there must be Xue Muhua! Only the people he cares about the most hurt him will break his heart completely.

However, this woman who once loved him so deeply that she could even give up regardless of herself has forgotten him and fallen in love with someone else.

I know that no one should be blamed for this matter, Xue Muhua really loves Huang Tianba, otherwise she would not use such a decisive method to escape the pain of losing him, and she who has lost a qiē memory is like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, and no one has the right to stop her from pursuing her own happiness; Huang Tianba, he really loved and really hurt, but he is not a man who can live a lifetime for a little love, to this day, the sky bears him, but he lives up to the people!

And Pei Yuanfeng ......

I looked at the back, but I couldn't say a word, but Butu came over with someone, and when he saw a few of us, he saluted respectfully, saying that Gongzi had prepared a banquet in the side hall to welcome guests from afar, and now please go over and sit down.

It was like giving each of us a staircase, I nodded, and greeted the two of them, and the three of them followed Butu to the side hall.

As soon as I entered the side hall, I immediately smelled a faint sweet fragrance here, and there were already a few cold dishes on the table, colorful candied fruits, dried fruits, and four-grade pastries, which seemed to be particularly tempting and the index finger moved, and a few maids saw that we had arrived, and began to pass the dishes down. Pei Yuanxiu was already sitting on the main seat, holding Li'er and whispering something, this girl is usually as wild as a monkey, sitting in his arms is as quiet as a little rabbit, unexpectedly well-behaved; Naturally, the Han sisters were also here, but they were sitting two places away from them.

As soon as she saw us coming in, Han Ruoshi immediately got up with a smile and said softly, "Sister Qingying is here." ”

Han Zitong also glanced up at me, didn't speak, the expression on his face was tense and ugly, I didn't care, just looked at the Li'er in Pei Yuanxiu's arms, as soon as she saw me, she immediately ran over happily and hugged my legs: "Mother!" ”

I grabbed her little hand and smiled softly. Although I just met Pei Yuanfeng, I need to face a lot of old scars in a short period of time, but no matter what kind of injury, it has really passed, with her in front of me, watching her grow happily is the most important thing.

However, the sweet smile on Li'er's face suddenly froze, and she suddenly stared behind me with wide eyes, and there was a look of horror in her big black and white eyes, as if she was greatly frightened, and hurriedly retreated.

Behind me, Pei Yuanfeng walked in with Xue Muhua. As soon as he saw Li'er, he seemed to pause, but he didn't say anything.

I've got it.

Before, the team that attacked Han Ruoshi and Li'er, wanted to kidnap Li'er, and fought with Shen Xiaokun, must be him, Li'er must have seen him in the chaos at that time, so now when he suddenly saw him, he would be so scared.

I hurriedly squatted down and hugged Li'er, and said softly, "Don't be afraid. ”

Although this kid was naughty, he had been frightened like that, he looked at Pei Yuanfeng in horror, looked at it for a while, and then turned his head to look at me: "Mother, he-he-"

I said softly, "My mother knows everything." Don't be afraid, mother is here, no one can take you. ”

After listening to my words, she finally calmed down a little, but looking at Pei Yuanfeng's eyes, she still couldn't stop being a little frightened, I hugged her and walked to Pei Yuanxiu's side, he took the child over, and his face was still gentle and unchanged, and said to Pei Yuanfeng: "Sit down." ”

Pei Yuanfeng took Xue Muhua and sat down.

The seat next to Pei Yuanxiu was also empty, and it seemed that he was waiting for me to come over, but fortunately, Li'er was so scared now that he had to sit between him and me, it also saved me a little unnecessary embarrassment. It's just that as soon as I raised my head, I saw Pei Yuanfeng looking at the expressions of the three of us, frowning slightly.

And Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong sat next to me, and their faces didn't seem to look good at this scene.

When everyone was seated, as soon as Pei Yuanxiu raised his hand, the maids waiting outside began to distribute the dishes, and the delicacies with all colors and flavors were put on the table one after another, which was very rich. When the dishes were almost served, Han Ruoshi whispered something to the maid next to her, and after a while, several attendants brought a wine jar, opened the mud seal, and immediately smelled a soaking aroma.

This altar is at least a bamboo leaf green that has been cellared for more than 30 years.

Han Ruoshi got up, smiled and said softly: "I heard Gongzi mention it a long time ago, he has a brother who can fight well and is invincible. This is the collection of Jiangxia Palace, and today's special banquet invites distinguished guests, and I hope not to dislike it. ”

Pei Yuanfeng raised his head and glanced at her.

In fact, Pei Yuanfeng now is very different from the past, although he is still the same person, and even, he clearly told me at the beginning, he has already killed people on the battlefield, but now he is really not the same as the frank and reckless prince at the beginning, and the fierce aura in those eyes is by no means something that ordinary people can resist.

I don't know if it's because his eyes are too sharp, Han Ruoshi immediately coughed, Han Zitong hurriedly got up to protect her, reached out and patted her back carefully, the expression on Pei Yuanfeng's face softened, got up and said, "You're polite." ”

Han Zitong stretched out his hand to help her sit down, and Pei Yuanxiu had already said, "Pour wine." ”

A few young maids came up and poured everyone's cup full of wine, the fragrance became more and more intense, the wine did not enter the intestines, but the Chinese people were drunk, Pei Yuanxiu raised the wine glass, smiled and said: "Today's gathering is really fate." Let's fill this cup first. ”

When he said this, he didn't salute anyone, nor did he put out the host's money, just drank to congratulate, and everyone had nothing to say, so they raised their glasses and drank down.

I just took a sip when I heard Pei Yuanxiu whisper softly in his ear: "Your body is just right, you should drink less." ”

The wine in the glass almost overflowed because of the trembling of my fingertips, and I turned my head to look at him, only to see that his eyes seemed to be the wine that had been cellared for many years, clear and fragrant, and smiled at me. Li'er, who sat between us, only had half his head popping out of the table, and his big eyes were blinking, looking at me, looking at him.

I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so I could only nod my head lowly.

Looking at the person opposite, it became more and more silent.

At this time, the maid came forward to pour Pei Yuanxiu full of wine, he twisted the wine glass, and also turned his head to look at Pei Yuanfeng opposite, and said with a smile: "Old five." ”

Pei Yuanfeng raised his head: "Second brother." ”

Pei Yuanxiu smiled: "Our brothers, how many years have we not been together?" ”

Pei Yuanfeng didn't think about it, and said, "It's been almost six years." ”
