Chapter 123: Birthday Gift

Eye-catching fireworks, like flowers.

Clusters of purple and red flowers bloom from the distant sky, casting flowing spikes of brilliant flowers into the world.

His people are hidden in the fireworks that are bright and extinguished, bright or dark, with light and shadow, and they can't see clearly.

I can only see the silk handkerchief in front of me.

The silk handkerchief was a light moon white, and if you looked closely at the pattern outlined by silver thread, it was a majestic eagle. And the bones of his hand holding the silk handkerchief are distinct, slender and clean, not at all like the murderous aura when he held the knife just now.

Lu Yu didn't answer his handkerchief.

Without waiting for her to respond, Pei Yunyao turned his head sideways, glanced at her, and shoved the handkerchief into Lu Yu's hand.

"Take it, Doctor Lu, I'm not interested in lying to you."

Lu Yu bowed his head.

The wound on his finger touched the soft cloth, and the blood mixed with the dirt immediately stained the entire cloth. The eagle with its wings spread was crumpled and immediately became embarrassed and crumpled, looking a little pitiful.

In the hazy night, Pei Yunyi half-knelt down and picked up the fragments of the porcelain jars that were smashed all over the ground.

"What do you do?" Lu Yu's eyes were vigilant.

"Doctor Lu," he reminded, "your eyes now seem to be that the person who just wanted to kill someone is me." ”

Lu Yu was speechless for a while.

The broken porcelain pieces were picked up by Pei Yunyi piece by piece, put them away, and he reached out to pick up the yellow mud on the ground. Yellow mud is scattered everywhere, mixed together, and it is impossible to tell which can is which.

He picked it up a few times, his expression gradually fell silent, and after a while, he said, "I'm sorry." ”

Lu Yu didn't speak.

She couldn't set up a memorial tablet in the mourning hall to avoid revealing the clues, so she could only bring these graves back to the medical hall for worship. There is no tablet, no tomb, on the grounds of the white-clothed Guanyin statue, incense oil candles are offered every day, and sacrifices are made every year.

That's all she can do.

But now, everything is shattered to nothing.

A young man's voice came from beside him: "If you need it, I'll help you find it." ”

Looking for it again?

He said so calmly and naturally that Lu Yu couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at him.

The young man was still half-kneeling, his robe stained with muddy water on the ground, and he didn't care. The handsome face was reflected by the fireworks outside the window, blurry and soft, and when he lowered his head to pick up the crumbs, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, and his expression was extremely serious.

He was like a knife, a powerful and beautiful knife, but at some moments, people would ignore that sharpness, and be confused by the brilliance of the silver knife at that moment.

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, quietly hid the poisoning powder in his sleeves, and asked, "What does the palace marshal want to do?" ”

She didn't understand Pei Yunyi's sudden friendliness, the time was too short, and she couldn't figure out how much fake and how sincere it was in that "sorry".

She didn't understand what the person in front of her was trying to do.

Pei Yunyao picked up the last piece of loess and put the loess into a small piece of white porcelain that had not been completely broken before standing up.

The wick ignores the turmoil and still burns quietly. He looked at Lu Yu, and his tone was usually a little casual: "I don't know about the Lu family." ”

Lu Yu's heart moved.

He's ...... What does it mean not to be held accountable?

Lu Yu stared at him: "I thought that the palace marshal was here to ask the teacher tonight." ”

Obviously coming prepared, Lu Yu saw very clearly, when he questioned her with the roster with her name written on it, the coldness and chill emanating from his body was not an illusion.

He was simply a quick arrester to arrest her.

Pei Yunyao smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed open the flower window in front of the table, and the colorful light and shadow of the fireworks became larger, illuminating the hut with brilliance.

He looked at the fireworks in the distant sky and said, "I originally wanted it, but isn't tonight Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Lu Yu was stunned.

"Chinese New Year's Eve arrest people at night......" He turned his head and stared at Lu Yu with a smile: "I'm not so unkind." ”

Lu Yu looked at him, trying to distinguish the truth of his words.

As if seeing the suspicions in her heart, Pei Yunyao glanced at her: "Can't believe me?" ”

"Nope."

"Really?" He tilted his head: "You won't write my name on the paper again behind your back, right?" ”

Lu Yu: "......"

In all fairness, it's not that she doesn't have trust in Pei Yunyao, but that's really not much. People's hearts are fickle, maybe Pei Yunyi suddenly moved his heart of compassion at a certain moment, but as the commander of the palace and the prince of Zhaoning, he may change his mind after calming down.

"Don't have a bad idea, even if you can really kill me, as long as it is stained with my blood, Gardenia will find out as soon as she comes. Not to mention burying me in the yard. He spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was not talking about killing people and burying corpses, but hiding some snacks. He bent down again and picked up the page full of names that had just been carried by the sword wind and fell to the ground.

The thin roll of paper flew into the flames of the oil lamp like a light fallen leaf, and the black stains instantly turned to ashes.

"You really don't plan to hand it over to Dali Temple?" Again, he proposed.

Lu Yu's heart, which had just relaxed a little, immediately tightened again, and said coldly: "No." ”

"I don't want to hear them apologize in a fake way."

The justice that is sought by the law today is too insignificant. A capital sin can become a living sin, and a living sin can gradually become an innocent sin. Even if the truth came out, Lu Yu would never believe that the Taishi Mansion would let Qi Yutai lose his life. It's just that he will be punished with some innocuous punishment on his face, compensate her with some silver taels, and maybe pretend to cry bitterly in front of her door and repent sincerely.

It's disgusting.

Pei Yunyi looked at her thoughtfully.

Lu Yu stood in a mess all over the ground, his dress was stained with a lot of mud, and his hair was messed up when he was arguing with him just now, so he simply took off the silk rope, and his black hair hung down like a waterfall, making his shoulders weaker and weaker.

A weak woman wants to deal with the high-ranking prince in the imperial city, which is like a mayfly shaking a tree, and a mantis arm is used as a car.

But Lu Yu is by no means as weak as it seems, many people have died at her hands, just like when she was in the house just now, she approached and whispered, if it weren't for the intuition of danger at that moment that made him draw his sword, now, maybe he would have become a handful of fresh clay under the plum tree.

He fully believed that the three words "Pei Yunyi" would appear on that piece of paper because once he blocked her path of revenge, he would become her next enemy. Such as Liu Kun, such as Fan Zhenglian, and such as Ke Chengxing, were quietly removed by her.

She is by no means weakling.

Pei Yunyi suddenly said, "Miss Lu San." ”

This title made Lu Yu stunned: "What? ”

"I haven't been here tonight, and you haven't seen me." He looked away at the window, his tone seemed to conceal some kind of warning, "In the future, I will not shield you." ”

This is to draw a clear line, suggesting that if she is on the way to revenge in the future, Pei Yunyi will not look at the past friendship and open up the Internet.

Lu Yu smiled faintly: "I am already very grateful that the palace marshal can take such a step back." ”

That's not lying.

She thought that tonight, there would definitely be a death between her and Pei Yunyao, but it was not right to say that, maybe it was two people who died. But in this way, tomorrow Yinzheng will wake up, push the door into the house and see this New Year's tragedy, and the Renxin Medical Center will bear the name of a murderous house, Du Changqing, the ancestral industry that was rebuilt with great difficulty, I am afraid that it will plummet again.

Thinking about these inconsequential things, she seemed to think that she was extremely ridiculous, and she couldn't help but laugh.

The scattered fireworks outside the courtyard shone on her face, and the smile was a little touching.

Pei Yunyi also saw the smile.

He glanced at her deeply, "You ......" wanted to say something, but changed his mind, and finally lowered his eyes, and his tone was unclear: "Forget it, let's do it yourself." ”

Lu Yu turned around, he had put the knife back into the sheath, pushed the door and walked out.

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the silk handkerchief that Pei Yunyi gave him in his hand. The silver eagle on it was crumpled and curled up, and the red flowers of blood stained the eagle's wings red.

She was about to stop Pei Yunyi to return the veil, when she saw the footsteps of the person who had just walked to the courtyard paused, seemed to remember something, turned around and walked back.

Lu Yu subconsciously clenched his sleeves with poisoned powder.

It's not the kung fu between these few steps, Pei Yunyi regretted it again, the man's heart is full of needles, the compassion of the powerful can't be true, how can his own future be important.

If he came closer, she would kill him while he was unprepared to blind his eyes.

Pei Yunyao stood still in front of her.

Lu Yu was vigilant in his heart.

The rosewood robe shone brightly in the bright flames outside the window, and his eyebrows and eyes were also illuminated, looking at her inscrutable and without saying a word.

Suddenly, he took out a wooden box from his bosom and placed it on the table.

The sandalwood box is only a palm to length, and it is very delicate and meticulous, and the lid of the box is carved with a beautiful picture of Magu's life.

Lu Yu didn't know what it was, and looked up at him hesitantly.

Pei Yunyi rubbed his forehead and reminded: "The time has passed, and the first day has passed." ”

Lu Yu was a little dazed, not understanding what he meant.

Pei Yunyi looked at her for a while, sighed, as if finally accepting the fact that she really didn't remember, threw the wooden box into her arms, and suddenly smiled.

"It's the first day." He emphasized again, "Miss Lu San, birthday gift." ”

……

The fireworks continue.

The old city wall of West Street, the gray and old brick wall was reflected in the flames overhead, and when Pei Yunyi left the medical hall, the joy of Dechun Terrace had not stopped.

The sound of children's laughter occasionally floats in the distance, and the fireworks of Dechun Terrace will burn until the second half of the night.

There is no one on West Street, and the boots step on the thin snow, making a small sound of rustling, like a grain of salt, not as sticky as yellow mud.

The grave soil soaked in the river and stained with the smell of incense and candles.

Pei Yunyi's footsteps stopped.

In the alley not far ahead, there was a person leaning against the wall, looking up at the fireworks at the end of Dechun Terrace in the distance, and when he heard the movement, this person straightened up and turned his face, revealing a grim face.

"What are you doing here?" Pei Yunyao asked Xiao Zhufeng and walked towards him.

"Didn't you go to the Renxin Medical Center to get someone?" Xiao Zhufeng looked behind him, and the long street was empty, only the figures dragging in the snow under the lamp.

"What about people?"

Pei Yunyi was silent.

Qingfeng went to Changwu County, Xiao Zhufeng also knew. Lu Yu's identity and relationship with the Taishi Mansion are not a secret to Xiao Zhufeng.

"Can't do it?" The man nodded understandingly, and was about to pass over him, "I'll go." ”

A hand grabbed his arm.

"Stop."

Xiao Chafeng looked back.

Pei Yunyi raised his eyes: "She wants to deal with the Taishi Mansion, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

"The Qi family is useful now, keep her bad."

"What can she do as a doctor?"

Xiao Zhufeng frowned: "Why don't you do it?" ”

Bright fireworks illuminate the night sky of Shengjing, look up into the distance, faintly see a corner of the eaves of Dechun Terrace in the northwest. The young man bowed his head and smiled noncommittally.

"Debt of affection must be repaid, right? She saved the lives of her sister and Baozhu. ”

"Is it a debt of love or a debt of affection?"

Pei Yunyi sighed, "Am I the kind of person who will be carried away by beauty?" ”

"You complimented her on her beauty." Xiao Zhufeng calmly accused.

Pei Yunyi: "......"

Xiao Zhufeng's face was very stinky: "Your Highness is now at a critical point, if the teacher knows about it......"

Pei Yunyi looked at him and smiled: "Good brother? ”

Xiao Zhufeng stared at him for a while, walked sideways past him, and only coldly threw down a sentence: "Only help you hide it this time." ”

"Thanks."

The sound is light again.

Xiao chased the wind away, and Pei Yunyao was the only one left in the alley.

The sound of fireworks continued, and there seemed to be a faint laughter and noise drifting down the wind. The smile on the young man's face gradually faded, and his expression became calm, leaning against the cold stone wall of the alley, looking up at the night sky in the distance.

Those colorful colors exploded from the middle of the night, turning into countless twinkling stars, and the brilliance was fleeting, like the warm crystal that fell on the back of the woman's hand.

Soon engulfed by darkness.

He remembered the small statues of Guanyin that were broken all over the ground in the narrow medical hall, the fruit-incense candles rolling all over the ground, the graves and rivers, the blood and the roster.

The woman sat in the dark, her head tilted, letting the blood drip from her fingers.

"I'll tell you what fairness is, Qi Yutai killed my sister, I killed Qi Yutai, one life is worth one life, this is called fairness."

"I don't need help, I can find fairness myself."

She was obviously a murderous woman with blood-stained hands and a deep heart, and he knew very well that she was by no means as weak and helpless as she seemed on the surface, but at that moment, he still had untimely compassion for her.

It was as if there was a messy picture floating in his mind.

Whose voice echoed in the empty ancestral hall, immature, mournful, accompanied by irrepressible anger and anger.

"Without the Pei family, without the name of the prince of Zhaoning, I can also take revenge."

The young man said coldly: "The coming day is long, let's see." ”

Pei Yunyao closed his eyes.

All the chaos and noise faded in an instant, and there was a long and lonely street in front of me, covered with white jade and snow.

The cold wind is still bitter, and the smoke and fireworks on the horizon are warm and gorgeous. On the first day of the lunar calendar, some people closed their doors and embraced the furnace, some people were cold in ancient temples, some people were reunited with their families, and some people were single.

Pei Yunyi quietly looked at the night sky.

Those dazzling silver flowers reflected his eyes, shattering into countless bright stars in his eyes.

Under the same long flame in Shengjing, laughter and sorrow are never the same from person to person.

Just like the moment when he was a child, countless families celebrated the brilliant beauty of that moment like rain and stars, and he was moved by a tear in the graves all over the ground.

Orb: Where's my blonde hairpin? I'm so big with a blonde card?!
