Chapter 128: Trying to Escape
Si Nanyue was breathless from this dull and unbearable pressure, she approached the man step by step, trying to see his appearance clearly, but the man's face was always surrounded by a mist.
She felt that she had walked a long way to reach the torture rack, and when she got closer, she realized that the man's clothes were stained red with blood, and blood was dripping from the corners of his clothes.
"You ......"
"Nanyue, are you ...... Forget me......
The man's lips twitched, and his tone was like grief, and as soon as he spoke, blood ran down the corners of his lips.
"Who the hell are you?"
Si Nanyue had a splitting headache, and she felt infinite guilt and fear in her heart, she was afraid that the man in front of her would die, and even ...... She was afraid to see his face......
She stepped back, blood staining her shoes and socks red and soaking the corners of her skirt.
Behind the man, there was a sudden overwhelming surge of blood, almost drowning her, she stared at everything in front of her with wide eyes and horror, and the man who was a few steps away from her suddenly raised his head and looked at her with two empty blood holes.
His pale, chapped lips moved, and his voice was hoarse, "How can you forget me......
"Ah!!h
After seeing the pair of blood holes, Si Nanyue suddenly woke up, she gasped for breath, and her back was soaked with sweat.
A big hand was placed on Si Nanyue's shoulder, and her body trembled in shock, and when she saw the person next to her clearly, she realized that it was Helian Duel.
"What's wrong? Are you having a nightmare?" Helian wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and comforted, "Alone here, don't be afraid."
"Hmm."
She gasped for breath, and after a few sips of tea, she felt a little better.
"What are you dreaming about?"
Si Nanyue thought about it carefully, but found that Fang Cai's dream was already blurry, and she couldn't remember a single thing.
"The concubine can't remember, only remember...... It's very uncomfortable......" Her hand pressed against her aching heart, and as she spoke, tears filled her eyes, and she felt that she had forgotten important people, but she couldn't remember anything.
"It's just a dream, don't be afraid."
Helian decided to hold her in his arms and coaxed her softly, Si Nanyue looked at the wound on his hand, thinking of today's events, she was a little self-blaming, and a little distressed, she frowned and said, "The concubine is fine, the husband is also injured, how can you stay up like this, besides, there will be an early dynasty tomorrow, you should also go and rest early."
"It's a fever." He was relieved after trying her forehead, and blamed himself again, "It's all lonely, I shouldn't have taken you out today."
With that, Helian decided to let her lie down and tuck the corners for her.
"It's the concubine's own body that is too weak, how can she blame her husband."
"Anyway, before the weather is warm, Lone will not take you out to let the wind out."
His brow furrowed slightly, and the wound on his forehead was oozing blood, staining the bandaged white cloth red.
"Sleep, don't be afraid, I'll be alone with you."
Like coaxing a child, Helian patted her hand suddenly, his hand was big and warm, Si Nanyue remembered what he had done in the past few days, and his heart throbbed faintly.
Whether it's making soup, or carefully letting her call him "husband", or whether he himself is injured and has to watch her all night, he just wants her to get closer to him, and he ...... Was it too cold for him?
After thinking about it for a long time, Si Nanyue opened her eyes, looked at Helian Decision, who was drowsy on the side of the couch, but didn't dare to sleep, and said softly, "It's cold at night, husband...... Come and rest on the couch."
"Huh?"
He looked at Si Nanyue fixedly, as if to confirm whether he had heard it wrong, Si Nanyue covered her red face with a blanket, and said, "The concubine is afraid that her husband is also infected with the cold, so let the husband go to the bed and rest."
"Nanyue ......"
He muttered her name, and he didn't know if Si Nanyue had seen it wrong, but he always felt that his eyes were red.
Si Nanyue was also shy and didn't dare to look at him for too long, so she leaned in and half of the bed was empty.
Helian was careful
Yiyi lay next to her, sniffing the familiar aroma of her, but he was nervous like an untrained teenager, and he didn't even know where to put his hand.
"It's not going to work." He scolded himself silently in his heart, plucked up the courage to move his body closer to Si Nanyue, turned sideways and hugged her in his arms.
"Husband......
"Don't be afraid, Lone won't mess around, Lone just wants to hold you and sleep."
Helian was determined to dance like a drumstick, and she obediently snuggled into his arms, and her slightly cool little hand took the initiative to drill into his palm.
He was stunned, his eyes were sour, and he hugged her tighter, seven years...... She was finally willing to accept him......
"Husband, will you always be so good to me?"
Her tone seemed to reveal a faint uneasiness, and Helian didn't have time to think too much, so he said, "Naturally, you and I will be husband and wife for life, and Lone will naturally love you for a lifetime."
"That ......"
She raised her face and looked at him with amber eyes, "You and I are husband and wife, the closest people in the world, and the concubine asks her husband to promise the concubine one thing."
"What?"
"The concubine wants the king to promise, you and I must be honest with each other, and we are not allowed to hide anything from each other."
Looking at these moist eyes, Helian Jue sobered up a little, he remembered what had happened, smiled very unnaturally, and said, "What Nanyue said is that Lone promised you."
"Can the husband tell the concubine ......?"
"It's not early, I'm lonely, let's sleep."
Before she could speak, Helian Jue interrupted her words, closed her eyes and fell asleep, Si Nanyue looked at the flickering lamp and candle on the table, and a trace of disappointment crossed her face.
Soon it was the fourth watch, Helian reluctantly kissed Si Nanyue's forehead, he was too greedy for this hard-won beauty, and for the first time, he didn't want to go to court.
But reason did not allow him to be so slack, Helian decided to leave the bed gently, he quietly walked out of the dormitory with his shoes in one hand and his clothes in the other, and did not make a sound to wake up Si Nanyue.
But he didn't know that the moment he walked out of the room, Si Nanyue, who had slept very lightly, opened his eyes and looked at his half-hidden figure in the dark with a complicated mood until he left.
Without a trace of delay, after retreating from the court, Helian decided to the study, looking at the backlog of the royal case, his head hurt, these days he is making soup again, and he is out of the palace, and it is normal for the folds to be piled up so much.
He also had to accompany Nanyue to eat in the evening, so naturally he couldn't delay any longer, Helian sighed, let the guards serve a cup of strong tea, and began to criticize one by one.
Until noon, Ah Rishan strode in with a plate of pastries in her hand, and when she saw that Helian was almost buried in the fold, she raised her eyebrows gloatingly, and deliberately said, "Yo, busy?"
"There's something to say, there's nothing to go."
"Your Majesty, you are really kind, yesterday our cooperation was good, but today you turn your face and don't recognize people?"
"Yesterday?" Helian Du pondered for a moment, "You sent someone to release that horse yesterday?"
"You just found out?" Ah Rishan sat on the wicker chair with the pastry, looking as a matter of course, "You don't think you don't have to lose money because you save people and kill other people's horses outside, do you?"
Helian never answered her, but took a red pen and wrote on the fold and said, "It's too dangerous, it almost hurt her, and you can't use such a dangerous method in the future."
Ah Rishan disagreed, "With you here, there will be no accidents, besides, through this incident, you and the queen should be a lot closer."
"How do you know?"
"Needless to say!" Ah Rishan threw the pastry in his hand into his mouth, "There are a few women who can be indifferent to such a considerate life-saving benefactor, and I came today to discuss with you the next step."
Speaking of this, Helian put down the brush in his hand, looked at Ah Rishan seriously, and asked, "What is the next step?"
"It's simple, just indulge if you want to!"
Helian thought about it, but he still couldn't understand it, and asked, "Why do you want to capture the law?"
"You've read those books for nothing." A Rishan is a pair of rotten wood that cannot be carved
"We want to inspire the queen to be possessive, to make her realize how much she cares about you, you...... Got it?"
Helian nodded as if he didn't understand, he paused, and said, "With Gu's understanding of Nanyue, this trick may be counterproductive to her."
"Leave it to me!" Ah Rishan stood up with confidence, "As long as you master the degree, I guarantee that you will be able to hold the beauty in less than two days!"
Helian decided to hesitate, this trick wanted to capture the old Nanyue Xing may not work, but for her now, Xing may give it a try......
"Okay." He answered, "Don't go too far."
"I'll do something, don't worry!"
Ah Rishan waved at him and ran out of the study, while Helian continued to deal with the affairs in hand, and when he thought of Nanyue gradually accepting him, there was a smile between his cold eyebrows.
When Helian finished processing the folds in his hand, he rubbed his stiff neck and looked up at the window, it was already dusk, and it was just right time to finish reading the last few volumes.
As soon as the red pen in his hand licked the red ink, he heard someone walk in, Helian decided to think it was the maid serving tea, and he didn't care, he continued to be busy with the things in his hand, and suddenly heard Si Nanyue calling, "Husband."
Helian Jue heard her voice, and the red ink in his hand was blurred.
"It's cold outside today, and your cold hasn't healed, why did you run out?"
Helian put down the things in his hand, put the food box in her hand on the imperial case, and untied the heavy big box on her body.
"The concubine heard that the maid said that you didn't eat at noon, so she asked the dining room to cook a few dishes and send them over in advance, the concubine knows that your state affairs are heavy, but the dragon body is more important, and the husband must take care."
"There are too many twists and turns backlog in the past few days, I want to go to your palace as soon as possible, and let the next person do the rough work in the future, don't run so far, what if you get sick again?"
Helian decided to pull her to sit next to the imperial case, and after asking the guards to move all the books down, Si Nanyue put a few dishes on it, "Husband, eat it while it's hot."
"You too, drink some soup to warm up."
He served the soup, scooped a spoonful and blew it, and held it to her lips thoughtfully, "Lonely feed you."
Si Nanyue blushed and took a sip of soup, maybe she wasn't used to it, maybe she didn't want him to work anymore, so she took the small spoon in Helian Duel's hand and said, "The concubine will come by herself."
"Okay."
He didn't insist, he smiled gently, and he didn't know if he was really hungry, or if he was in a good mood, and the things he wasn't used to eating were particularly delicious today.
