Chapter 1 He Wants My Life
At night, in a courtyard deep in the mountains, there is a master and a servant.
The woman who looks like the master is dressed in a water-blue gauze skirt, only combed a simple bun, her long black hair is on her slender shoulders, and her beautiful eyes are tactful and tearful, and she has the appearance of a fairy flying into the sky.
I lowered my eyes and wiped the corners of my eyes, coughed a few lowly, and when I raised my eyes again, they were full of tears.
I'm annoyed, I'm so tired from acting, and I'm going to freeze into ice sculptures.
The maid behind her sighed in distress when she saw her master's appearance, and she carefully put a white cloak on her slender shoulders, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice:
"This prince is really ruthless, he hasn't come to see his wife for half a month......"
What she didn't know was that what the master with sorrow in her eyes was thinking at the moment:
Why hasn't this dog man come yet, isn't it good to have a bitter meat plan?
I couldn't help but curse in my heart.
Looking back, I saw the little maid behind me frowning, as if she was more distressed than me, only wearing a thin shirt, which was shivering from the cold at the moment, and she couldn't bear it, so she patted her head.
"You go back and rest first."
The little maid hurriedly shook her head: "How can this be done!" Madam, your body and bones are already weak, and the cold in this mountain is heavy, if you are infected with the wind cold......"
Before she could finish speaking, I interrupted.
I pretended to think: "If Xiao Yun is disobedient, tomorrow's dim sum will be halved." ”
The little maid named Xiao Yun was only thirteen or fourteen years old, which was the age when she liked sweets, and deducting dim sum was more serious for her than the sky falling, so she exclaimed, and ran into the house without hesitation, and did not forget to turn around and admonish:
"Then the lady should go back to the house and rest, and beware of the cold."
I smiled and looked back at the courtyard door.
You don't have to look to know that as soon as I push open this door, I will be driven back to this courtyard by a dozen black-clad secret guards, who have already surrounded this small courtyard, and even a bird cannot easily fly out.
How long is this dog man going to trap me!? Didn't you say that he was the most bitter? The old lady has been pretending to be sick here for three days, why is there no movement at all?
The next second, I turned pale and fell to the ground.
Xiao Yun ran out of the house with an exclamation, trying to help me but couldn't help me, so she had to cry in a hurry.
"Someone! Someone! Madame fainted! ”
That night, the mountain road was clear, and I was embraced into a solid embrace, with the cold air on the man's body when he was rushing through the mountains, and the faint blood lingering on the tip of his nose under the crisp fragrance of the wood.
I frowned quietly.
He...... Injured?
The guard's worried voice came from his ears: "Lord Wang, you ......"
"Shut up." He spoke, but his flat tone made people's hearts tremble, and he lowered his head to look at the pale-faced woman with closed eyes in his arms, and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Ling Yanji, I advise you not to play tricks on me."
If I didn't, would you come?
I snorted disdainfully in my heart, quietly opened my eyes to see the beads of sweat sliding down his cheeks, and when I saw the angry and anxious look in his eyes, I couldn't help but bend the corners of my mouth.
But I never thought that my little movements would be seen by men. He didn't demolish me, but his steps were much slower, the anxious look in his eyes faded, and he whispered, but his tone was still like ice.
"Ling Yanji, I advise you not to be careful, you can't run away."
I knew that I had seen through my little trick of pretending to be dizzy, so I simply leaned my face against his warm chest, admired the countless torches that had been lit for me on the mountain road, and pursed the corners of my mouth.
Lord Liu, this may be.
As long as you release me from this mountain, I will have a chance to escape.
On the second day, Liu Yuanwan took his sick wife down the mountain overnight for treatment, and the fact that the torch illuminated almost the entire mountain spread among the people, and people talked about it, and soon reached my ears.
At that time, I was taking advantage of Xiao Yun's inattention to quietly pour the medicine into the potted plant in the courtyard, and suddenly heard a little maid outside the wall talking and walking by.
"Yes, the group of little guys before also said that our prince doesn't like Madame anymore, so it seems that he likes it very much."
The little maid's voice walked away, and before I could react, Xiao Yun ran out of the house in a panic and anxiously checked around me a few times.
"Xiao Yun, I'm fine." I patted her soothingly, and then pretended to regret and pointed to the broken porcelain bowl, "It's this medicine, I'm afraid I can't drink it......"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yun "hurt", patted her chest, and looked "wrapped up in me": "It's okay, Xiao Yun will go and cook a pair for Mrs. again." ”
“……”
I had to wave my hand speechlessly: "Then you go." ”
"All right, ma'am, I'll go."
Listening to Xiao Yun's mouthful, Mrs. Listening to the weirdness in my heart, I couldn't help but call her.
"Do you know if you call Miss in the future, it seems that I am old."
Hearing this, Xiao Yun's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Husband...... Miss, you're back! ”
"What's coming back?"
Xiao Yun looked around me carefully several times, smiled, waved her hand again and again and said "no, no", and jumped to the kitchen, as if she was too happy.
I stood where I was, like a monk bewildered, but I didn't have the time to delve into it, because at this time, it was my top priority to escape from this mansion.
Three months ago, my soul resided in this body and woke up to find myself lying in a damp cave with thunder and lightning and pouring rain outside. I was too weak to move, so I could only watch as the soldiers rushed in, and after confirming that I was alive, they lifted me into the carriage.
I lay in the carriage, surrounded by a group of women dressed as maids to change clothes and deal with the bruises on my body, large and small, the pain made me grin, and the carriage drove in the mountains, and the bumpy mountain road made me feel as if I was about to fall apart.
Suddenly there was a respectful "Lord Wang" outside the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the rain drifted to my face, and I almost looked up with all my strength.
Lightning and thunder, and a blinding white light illuminated the man's grim face, and I was able to see his eyes, without any emotion.
Looking at each other, I don't know if it was an illusion, I saw his expression loosen, and there seemed to be a rush of panic in his eyes, but before I could look closely, the curtain was lowered, and I could only look out the window at his shadow reflected on the curtain, far and near.
My current identity is the mistress of the prince's mansion, and the wife of Liu Yuanwan, the prince of the dynasty. Everyone in the world thinks that Lord Liu is particularly precious to his wife, but only I know that if I don't escape, I will only die.
Standing in the shadow of the wall, I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists.
He wants my life.
"Miss, it's Shangyuan Festival in a few days."
I sat in front of the window, letting Xiao Yun pull up my long hair, comb it into a bun, and pick a suitable hairpin in the jewelry box.
I replied nonchalantly, carefully observing the familiar and unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror.
The woman in the bronze mirror has fair skin, thin eyebrows, a pair of pleasing almond eyes, just put on rouge, looks ruddy, seventeen or eighteen years old, but married early and combed her hair in a bun.
In the 21st century, I guess I only graduated from high school at this age.
What was I doing at that time? I guess I just went to medical school......
The strange thing is that I remember all my experiences in the 21st century clearly, but I can't see my own face in these pictures.
I was puzzled in my heart, thinking that it wasn't my own jumping into the lake that drowned my brain, but I heard Xiao Yun babbling in my ear, and inadvertently caught the words "birthday" and "attendance", suddenly came back to my senses, and hurriedly asked:
"What did you just say?"
Xiao Yun was a little helpless, and gently pinned a hairpin inlaid with green jade into my bun.
The slave maid just said that this year is different from previous years, just in time for the prime minister's birthday, he held a banquet in the capital, but invited all the dignitaries and families of the capital to attend together. At that time, the ladies will definitely compete to dress up, our young lady is so good-looking, she can't be compared to them. ”
The hairpin was slightly cool, and when it touched the scalp, my heart moved.
So, do I have a chance to run away?
Thinking of this, I was overjoyed, so I picked up a happy red hairpin and said goodbye to the bun at will, nodded with satisfaction to the bronze mirror, got up and walked outside the house.
Xiao Yun was taken aback by my sudden move, and after raising her eyes and seeing the extremely discordant match on my head, she hurriedly followed, shouting again and again: "Miss, Miss, quickly take off the hairpin." ”
I took a big step disapprerovingly, smiled happily, completely ignored Xiao Yun's call, and sighed to myself: "Today's weather is really top-notch!" ”
"Miss, what do you mean?"
"Whoa? It's so good that it quacks. ”
I squatted under the peach blossom tree in full bloom looking for the petals that had just fallen, not only instructed Xiao Yun to pick it up, but also picked it up happily, hugged a bag, accidentally fell into the flowers, and was not annoyed, got up and "giggled" laugh.
The master and servant threw themselves into the flowers, and they didn't notice that a man in a dark robe was standing not far away.
The guard next to him looked at him and then at me, hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice:
"Lord Wang...... This ......"
Liu Yuanwan looked back and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to speak, and then continued to look at the lively figure not far away, smiling and dyeing his eyebrows, but he was relieved.
The petals were flying, and he was full of powder, looking at the woman's smiling eyes, his heart was churning, and his eyes were red.
Yang Yi, who was beside him, looked at him for a long time, silently turned around and dismissed the attendants holding the dress behind him, and ordered them to send it to the princess later.
When the attendant walked away, he looked back at the man's dark back and sighed.
At the end of the day, I sat down at the table with my eyes open, glanced at the table full of delicacies, and then at Xiao Yun standing beside me, and asked for the fiftieth time, "Can I eat?" ”
Like the previous forty-nine times, Xiao Yun smiled and shook her head.
I sighed, fell down helplessly, turned my head to look at the darkening sky outside the door, and muttered, "Who the hell are you waiting for, I'm going to be hungry." ”
"Miss......"
Before Xiao Yun finished speaking, a dark figure slowly walked into her eyes. The man stopped at the entrance against the light, his sword eyebrows starry, but his eyes were heavy, and I couldn't help but tremble.
How did he get here?
Wait a minute! My heart sank, and I slammed to my feet.
The one who has to wait...... It can't be him, right?
