25. Don't leave me
Cheng Yiwan was hugged by him in his arms, listening to his words, the strong emotions in his tone did not seem to be fake, but if you listen carefully, after all, hate is greater than love, Cheng Yiwan doesn't understand that he has never met him, but he hates her so much.
And this inexplicable hatred made her never know where it came from.
Sunset Cliff, the Sunset Cliff he mentioned that day, is it an opportunity? It seems that Hualuo still needs to go back and investigate.
However, the day when Pei Shangyu returned home recently is getting later and later, I heard that after the palace test, the emperor is going to seal the queen, and the seal is the concubine in the palace, and this also means that the emperor's harem is about to enter the newcomer.
The little emperor handed over the matter of the post-sealing ceremony to Pei Shangyu to do, and for this matter, he was in the palace almost every day, presumably because of the cumbersome procedures, which required him to work so hard.
And when I was practicing calligraphy in the house at night, I saw Hualuo hurriedly come over and say, "Madam, Cui Guo said that the adults were drunk in the palace, so let you go over and take care of them for one night." ”
Cheng Yiwan looked up at Hualuo and frowned slightly: "Can't there be so many palace people in the palace who can't take care of it?" ”
As the pinnacle of power, the place that everyone yearns for, the palace people who serve in the palace are simply uncountable, why do you need to summon her into the palace to serve.
"I don't know this slave and maid, so let's go with you."
There are many nobles in the palace, and Hualuo is also afraid that Cheng Yiwan will be hurt in the palace, it is better to have her own follow, Cheng Yiwan did not refuse Hualuo's kindness, after all, they are now allies, and she will not harm herself.
Although he was puzzled, Cheng Yiwan still changed his clothes, after all, Cui Guo was still waiting outside.
After she packed up and got into the carriage, Cui Guo was driving outside, she lifted the curtain and looked at the street outside, and saw that the people got out of the way after seeing that this was the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It can be seen how frightening the impression of Pei Shangyu in the hearts of the people of the Southern Dynasties is, she withdrew her hand, and her eyes could not hide her loneliness.
It's a pity that the life she longed for was all ruined in the hands of Pei Shangyu, but she could only swallow it with tears in her eyes and coax him to hand over her true heart to take revenge.
Pear Blossom Lane is not too far from the palace, less than half an hour to the palace gate, Cui Guo showed the token on his waist, the general who guarded the city saw Cui Guo's token and directly let him drive the carriage into the palace.
"Ma'am, it's here."
After a while, Cui Guo's voice sounded from outside, Cheng Yiwan was helped down by Hualuo, she looked up at the palace not far away, the palace on it had no name, and the handwriting on the plaque was already blurry and unreal.
There were still some weeds around, if it wasn't for Cui Guo bringing her here, she would have thought that she was in the wrong place, after all, this place really doesn't look like a place to live.
This is strange, Pei Shangyu is so powerful, in the Southern Dynasty has almost reached the point of covering the sky with one hand, can he still live in such a dilapidated palace?
"Your Excellency is inside, and your subordinates will take your wife in."
Cui Guo made a gesture of please, and walked into the hall with Cheng Yiwan, I don't know if it was too dark at this time, when she walked into the hall, she felt that the palace was dim.
Only a lamp and candle were lit at the side of the bed, and a gust of wind came in from the open window, which blew the lamp and candle half-bright, no sound, and no figure could be seen.
"Pei Shangyu?"
She shouted, only to see a hand exposed by the quilt on the bed, followed by Pei Shangyu's face, he looked very drunk, and his always cold face was also covered with a layer of red glow.
Those eyes were a little blurry, and after seeing Cheng Yiwan, he sat up from the bed and called her: "Ah Wan." ”
Cheng Yiwan smelled the smell of wine all over the house, it seemed that she had indeed drunk a lot of wine, otherwise why was there such a big smell of wine, she took a step and walked over, and before she could get closer, she was stopped by him, and then he took her to the bed.
"Ah Wan, you're here."
Pei Shangyu looked at the cold-faced girl in front of him, and for some reason his heart was a little excited, he held her face with both hands, and shouted Ah Wan again and again, wanting to come up and kiss her, but she turned her head and avoided her.
"You're drunk."
She pushed his hand away and only said this, Pei Shangyu chuckled, and his hand tightly held her wrist: "Where are you going?" ”
"Fetch water."
In two short words, Cheng Yiwan sighed and said, "You asked Cui Guo to take me into the palace, did you want me to come to see you playing drunk?" ”
She had never seen Pei Shangyu like this, after all, Pei Shangyu, who got along with her, was cold and a little sick, but now she looked a little pitiful.
Cheng Yiwan broke free of his hand, pushed open the door of the palace, and asked Piao Fu to fetch water, and then looked at Cui Guo with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Hearing Cheng Yiwan's words, Cui Guo first glanced at the hall, and then looked at Cheng Yiwan and said: "Madam, today is the birthday of an adult, he is in a bad mood, if he does something to Madame, or says something bad, please forgive Madame." ”
"His birthday?"
Cheng Yiwan also turned his head to look at Pei Shangyu in the hall, Pei Xiang's birthday, no wonder he drank so much wine today, but other people's birthdays are happy, he is good, he looks lonely.
"Yes, today Your Majesty set up a banquet for the adults in the palace, and the adults drank more, and the adults have always disliked strangers to serve closely, so there will be Mrs. Lao tonight."
After Cui Guo finished speaking, he rarely showed a stiff smile, it was not that he was lazy and didn't want to serve Pei Shangyu, but even him, the adults didn't let him get close, and all he shouted in his mouth was Cheng Yiwan's name.
In desperation, Cui Guo could only return to Pear Blossom Lane and pick up Cheng Yiwan.
After a while, Piaofu came over with a basin of water, Cheng Yiwan took the basin and walked in, as soon as she put down the basin in her hand, she saw that Pei Shangyu on the bed was gone, she turned around and hit her head on the man's hard chest.
"Don't leave me, Ah Wan, I have nothing, I only have you."
His words were confused, looking at her face, Pei Shangyu's eyes rarely softened, as if he had returned to his youth, when he escaped from the capital and begged all the way, everyone sneered at him.
No dignity, any courtesy, righteousness and shame can be compared in front of a meal, even if it is just a scrap of rotten vegetables, even if it is swill that others don't want, he has to swallow and eat it in order to live.
But when he came to Jiangdu, he had the best meal, it was given by a little girl who was cleanly dressed and had pure eyes, lotus crisp, very delicious taste, it was the best thing he had ever eaten from the north to the southern dynasty.
She said that she wanted to take him home so that he could have a full meal, and on the first birthday of Cheng's family, she gave him a piece of osmanthus candy, which was very sweet, so sweet that it was greasy, but when he looked back, he had never eaten such sweet sugar again.
