Indeed, this is not only a conjecture this time, but even if I inadvertently think of it in the past, I will definitely affirm Pei Yuanhao's approach, after all, this is not only a matter of their father and daughter recognizing each other, but also a matter of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors, which is related to the dignity and dignity of the royal family.

But he didn't.

Even, this time he would invite Li'er to cross the river and travel to Yangzhou with him, and in the evening, he sent her back and asked if we could invite her to cross the river again tomorrow, these actions are not at all like what he Pei Yuanhao, the high-ranking Ninety-Five Supreme will do.

It's really weird.

There was a teacup in front of me and him, and the light smoke rising from the cup gradually blurred, diffusing into a faint mist in each other's eyes, which was almost invisible, but blurred each other's vision.

He said, "Would you like to let Li'er go to see him?" ”

"I do."

“……”

He may have expected that I would agree, and he could guess that I would not agree, because no matter what, there are no other than these two answers, and these two answers have their own reasons, but no matter how he prepares, he probably would not have thought that I would make an answer so quickly, and he was a little stunned for a while, and only after a while did he let out a blank "ah".

I repeated: "I do, I want Li'er to go and meet him again." ”

“……”

He was silent for a moment, a little hesitant: "Why?" ”

"Treat others as you would like to be treated." I replied calmly.

This time, he seemed to understand quickly, was silent for a moment, and then nodded lightly: "I understand." ”

"Now, his mood is the same as when I came here, so eager to see Li'er, and at this point, I can still fully understand his feelings." I said, lowered my eyelashes, and said softly: "No matter what happens between me and him, but the child is innocent, whether she knows it or not, no matter what will happen in the future, she has the right to enjoy her father's love, and she will not be miserable and regretful in the future." As for --, after all, he is Li'er's biological father, he wants to see Li'er, wants to make up for the lack of love over the years, wants to love his daughter, I can understand this. ”

“……”

"So, I can't say no."

Pei Yuanxiu nodded lightly.

He said: "Although I don't have children yet, after all, after so many years by my son's side, I can understand the feelings of a father." ”

“……”

I was caught off guard, and my face changed the moment I heard this.

He doesn't have children yet......

Yes, he doesn't have children yet......

As a brother, Pei Yuanhao already has both children and daughters, but until now, he has no biological flesh and blood under his knees to be happy, which is not only a regret for him, but also a shortcoming.

I looked up at him, and saw that the dark eyes flickered as if they were about to stab someone, and as if they had been stabbed, and I was a little confused for a while, so I could only silently turn my face away, avoiding his gaze.

Pei Yuanxiu also fell silent.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere gradually became a little awkward, especially the restless candle flame illuminated the room so flickering, obscure, as if the thousands of entangled thoughts and wavering moods in the hearts of the two people were reflected on the gray walls around them so clearly.

After a long silence, Pei Yuanxiu still said, "However, do you want to go through it again?" ”

“…… What? ”

"I saw you on the docks today, in pain." He looked at me, although the candle flame was shining, but his eyes were as gentle as water: "You must be very worried, he will take Li'er away, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then you're going to—"

"But no matter what, I can't refuse, don't let their father and daughter reunite."

"So, you'd rather get into that pain and torment yourself?"

I smiled a little astringently: "Things in this world are not perfect in the first place. ”

He looked at me and said, "You can say yes or no." ”

I bit my lower lip and shook my head gently: "In that case, I won't be in pain, I won't have to suffer, but in conscience, I will still have a hard time." ”

Speaking of this, I smiled faintly: "The world is never perfect. ”

“……”

"If you want to get it, you have to give."

“……”

"It's not grievance and pain, it's the most basic fairness."

“……”

"It's just a matter of which end you choose."

With that, I smiled again.

Looking at my smile, he seemed a little heavy, and did not speak again, but his eyebrows, which had always been stretched and calm, slowly wrinkled at this moment, and a few faint folds appeared under the swaying light and shadow.

I looked at him and asked softly, "Then tomorrow, I'll just—"

"Tomorrow, I'll go with you."

I glanced at him and said softly, "Thank you." “

He turned to look at me, paused, and then said, "Between us, are we already going to say this word?" ”

"......" I smiled, there was a slight sourness in my smile, but it was not too embarrassing, but after a moment of silence, I said softly: "I said this word, not to have a relationship with you, but I suddenly remembered something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I think about the years when he was absent, and I was also absent." I raised my head and looked at him: "Li'er's side has always been you, and Miss Ruoshi, but I seem to be really, I didn't really say thank you seriously." ”

Speaking of "Ruoshi", his face sank slightly.

Then, suddenly, the two of them were speechless.

The room was very warm, or in the increasingly hot weather, the night was getting hotter and hotter, so that the breath of the two people close to each other was particularly hot when guarding a candle flame.

I forced a smile and said, "It's late at night, you should rest early." ”

He looked up at me, and when I had finished, he stood up on the edge of the table, turned and walked towards the door.

"Young Baby!"

But just as I reached out and touched the door frame, the almost hot arms behind me suddenly reached out, as hot and powerful as iron tongs, and grabbed the wrist that hung down at my side.

I was burned by that force and temperature, trembled slightly, and froze there.

The hands slowly pressed and slowly closed, and his hot, solid chest pressed against him. Even though I was just standing close to me, I had the illusion that I was in his arms and being held tightly by him, especially when his breath blew through my ears and neck.

I stood there, not leaving, not looking back.

Then, his voice sounded behind him—

"I know, you've always been thinking about Ruoshi - you've been minding her, have you?"

“……”

"I admit that before you came to Jinling, it was me and her who were with Li'er."

“……”

"And by my side, it's her."

“……”

His words are very simple, especially this last sentence, talk about a few words, but I seem to have fully experienced him and her over the years, yes, my previous conjecture is not wrong, and even that is not a conjecture, but an inevitable fait accompli - between him and her, there is a past, and the words that will be said and not said in Li'er's mouth actually belong to him and her, and they all remember it.

Hearing this, I finally turned around slowly, looking at his face that looked a little gloomy under the dim candlelight, and the hand he held in the palm of his hand trembled slightly.

Feeling my shiver, his hand tightened a little.

He said: "She is the daughter of Jiangxia who is gradually disappearing, I am the former prince who has gone away, at that time, she and I can only rely on each other and support each other, so that I can persevere." ”

I opened my lips lightly, as if I wanted to say something, but my thin and slightly cool lips trembled, but I couldn't say a word after all.

The princess of Jiangxia who gradually disappeared......

The former prince of the general trend has gone......

In fact, this is a meeting of golden wind and jade dew, right? Compared with those talented and beautiful women in the play, the meeting in the pavilion, the meeting between him and her is more like a good show deliberately arranged by God, which is enough to shock everyone in the world.

The thoughts in my heart were all lost in a calm flickering gaze at this moment, Pei Yuanxiu looked into my eyes and continued: "You can also see that her body is very weak, in fact, when we first arrived in Jinling, she was almost dying. ”

I hurriedly asked, "Then she-"

Pei Yuanxiu was silent for a moment before he said, "Yao Lao." ”

"......" I subconsciously laughed.

That's right, Yao Lao.

This old man who rejuvenated with a wonderful hand, and even said that his body was full of bones and blood as elixir, with his help, Han Ruoshi could certainly turn the corner.

So-I said softly, "That's how you guys, you met, right?" ”

He nodded.

I nodded.

Then he asked, "Then, what did Li'er say about the last time, when and what did you mean?" ”

Pei Yuanxiu seemed to have expected me to ask this question, so as soon as my words fell, he immediately said, "That was a few years ago. At that time, Li'er was still young, but maybe because she was frightened by that time, so she still remembers this incident after so many years. ”

I watched him silently, waiting for his answer.

Pei Yuanxiu's face was originally a little gloomy in the dim light, but at this time he became more and more calm, and he was silent for a while before he said: "If you poem her, she was born with a deficiency disease, Yao Lao said, originally with her condition at the time, she couldn't last long, but fortunately, we took action, and she survived." ”

I suddenly said, "She must be grateful to you." ”

He glanced at me and didn't answer, but the look was already acquiescing.

Then, he continued: "However, although Yao Lao saved her, because she was really congenitally deficient, she was not out of danger for a long time, and she relied on Yao Lao's needles and decoctions to maintain, and then recuperate, so that her body slowly got better." ”

I nodded.

"At that time, she had been recuperating for a long time, and she had almost recovered her health, and Yao Lao had not given her injections for a long time, and only used decoction to recuperate, and there was no problem at all, so everyone already believed that she herself believed that she was completely well."

My eyebrows frowned slightly: "What happened as a result?" ”
