After abandoning the Ruthless Dao Sword Venerable, verse 82
"At the beginning of July, you went to the flower market in Yundu?" Xiao Ning asked again.
"Yes." Bai Hengyu continued to nod.
He is very honest and admits what he has done.
"You met a little girl in a wheelchair and sold her a potion to protect flowers? Then, you also made deals with many other flower farmers in Yundu, right? Xiao Ning continued to ask.
"No, there were a lot of people in the market that day, and I passed by a lot of people, but I didn't talk to any of them." Bai Hengyu replied calmly.
"Why did you go out in a black robe that covered your face?"
"General Bai, you're not interested in flowers, why did you go to a flower market you've never set foot in that day?"
Xiao Ning threw out one question after another.
Bai Hengyu straightened up and stood in the center of the chamber, his gaze falling on the high place in the hall, and he didn't answer these sharp questions.
"General Bai, if you make it clear ......"
Bai Hengyu's head was raised, he looked like a silver spear upright, but he still didn't answer.
Xiao Ning himself was panicked: "General Bai, I'm ...... I'm sure you're not such a person, but please explain these doubts positively. ”
Under Bai Hengyu's eyes, the bottom of his eyes was slightly dark, and he said, "I don't want to answer." ”
Celestia put her hand on the arm of the chair, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest, and when she looked closely, her fingertips kept shaking.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Nine...... Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this ......" Xiao Ning turned his head and looked helplessly at the rest of the hall.
He didn't dare to continue the interrogation.
"Take it into custody, and when the royal sister and brother are not there, I will interrogate it tomorrow." Pei Jiuzhi opened his mouth.
"Jiuzhi, you don't trust us so much?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke.
Pei Jiuzhi's answer was straightforward and sharp, he raised his eyes and glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and a slight cold color appeared in his eyes.
He said, "Yes." ”
The crown prince suddenly became a little at a loss.
Seeing that the guards of the Imperial City Division were about to escort Bai Hengyu down, he stopped those guards.
"Father, do you really want the Imperial City Division under the imperial sister to take in the horses?"
"Pei Huaxuan, I have reconciled with him." The eldest princess gritted her teeth and said coldly.
She brushed her sleeves and stood up, her face already angry, as if she was in a hurry to break off her relationship with Bai Hengyu.
"Nonsense, Huashang, sit down, you're too rude." Pei Chu spoke in time to stop the quarrel.
"Take it to the Yunwei Black Prison, prince, the leader of Yunwei is appointed by you."
"Huashang, I know you don't know what Hengyu has done, but, for reason, you should always avoid suspicion."
"What do you want the people outside to think?"
Pei Huashang stared at Pei Chu, her calm eyes loosened slightly, and she seemed to be extremely tired.
She threw up her sleeves and walked away.
When she walked to Bai Hengyu, who was bound by chains, her steps stopped.
"Bai Hengyu, you killed me, I shouldn't have married you in the first place." She looked into his dead eyes and said.
Bai Hengyu looked at her quietly, without any expression on his face.
He said to Pei Huashang word by word: "The peony flower next to your bed, before you go out, I cleaned it up for you." ”
"After so many days, the petals have withered, and it is not pretty." He said.
Princess Celestia had already led the people out, and she didn't even look back.
Usu was in a daze while listening to the constant quarrels coming from the hall.
When she heard "peony flower", her eyes flashed.
Wu Su remembered the bouquet of peony flowers, which was held by Jiang Ran's sister next to her when she got married.
The bouquet was supposed to be given to the guests attending the wedding at random, but Jiang Ran's sister accidentally dropped the bouquet.
Bai Hengyu picked it up and didn't give it back to her, but just sent the brightly opened red peony to the eldest princess.
He snatched the luckiest and most beautiful things in front of her.
At this moment, Usu felt the strong impact of human feelings.
It is like a wave, wrapped in memories, washing her thin and blank spiritual world over and over again.
Humans, it's weird.
Usu thought.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered someone to take Bai Hengyu down, and he is now going to Yunwei to take back the power that should belong to him.
Even though Princess Celestia has tried her best to distance herself from the relationship, she is still affected.
In the hall, only Pei Chu, Pei Jiuzhi and Wu Su remained.
Pei Chu looked at Pei Jiuzhi and Wu Su, and the emotions that had been tense and the shelf they were holding were put down.
He stood on the temple and sighed softly.
When this long sigh came out, it was as if he had aged by more than ten years in an instant.
"Jiuzhi, Usu, don't stand, sit down, take a rest." Pei Chu said.
Pei Jiuzhi sat down with a cold face, he didn't want to see today's scene, those quarrels seemed to him meaningless and funny.
Usu took his hand, and when she sat down, she called him in a low voice: "Your Highness, are you angry?" ”
Pei Jiuzhi faced her, the cold color on his face melted a little, and he bowed his head slightly, which was considered to be an acknowledgement.
Pei Chu looked at the pure couple in front of him and continued to sigh.
"Jiuzhi, Usu, talk to me." Pei Chu didn't even use the title "I".
At this time, he was like a powerless father.
Pei Jiuzhi responded: "Okay." ”
"Things have come to this point, maybe it has something to do with me." Pei Chu's voice was heavy, "Hua Sheng and Hua Xuan were born on the same day, and their mother is the queen. ”
"Yes, they are twins, it stands to reason that they are very similar, and the relationship should be good. But they have been at odds with each other for many years. ”
"It's because it's just as good, it's as proud, it's the same as me...... Hungry for power, so there are irreconcilable contradictions between them. ”
"I have not made a decision on who to appoint as the prince, and later, I can only choose the prince according to the order in which they were born."
"Huashang, the one who came to the world first."
"Qinghe, this was the gift I was going to give her, she didn't want it, and then someone else held it in her hand."
"Heng Yu and her were a natural pair, but not long after they got married, when Heng Yu led his troops to fight, Hua Shang did not choose to save him first when he transferred troops to rescue, because if he supported other places, he could save more soldiers."
"Heng Yu resisted to the exhaustion, but was plotted by the enemy, and there was no solution to the Gu poison in his body, and he could no longer have offspring."
"The Pei family's country needs to be inherited, so in the end, I chose Hua Xuan as the crown prince."
"Before making this decision, I told Hua Sheng the reason and persuaded her to marry someone else."
"She rejected me."
Chapter 50: Fifty Points of Light
Pei Chu finished telling a long and tortuous story in a few words.
He watched quietly outside the hall as twilight fell.
"Heng Yu didn't know what Hua Sheng gave up for him at the beginning, but I knew that the enthusiasm for power in Hua Shang's eyes had not faded."
"She didn't give up."
"Is this the consequence of her not giving up?"
Pei Jiuzhi listened quietly, and after a long time, he got up and pressed his hand on Pei Chu's shoulder.
"Father, go back to the palace and rest, I will find out the truth." Pei Jiuzhi said calmly.
Pei Chu led the palace people and left the Imperial City Division alone.
In the hall, only Usu and Pei Jiuzhi remained.
All day, Usu was quiet, watching the whole story and learning a new about humanity.
Pei Jiuzhi leaned back on the chair next to her and rubbed her eyebrows.
Usu raised her hand, her slender fingers stroked his slightly frowning brow, and she called softly: "Your Royal Highness, why are you bothered?" ”
"I'm going to Yunwei Black Prison tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you." Pei Jiuzhi lowered his eyes and looked at Wu Su quietly.
"If you don't like Yunwei, I won't take you there." He said.
Usu's gentle eyes narrowed, and she nodded to him.
She knew that His Highness had his own plans.
He took off the long sword he was carrying and handed it to Usu: "Tonight, take it for me, okay?" ”
"Okay." Usu's hand as she took the sword trembled, she was still afraid of it.
Pei Jiuzhi's slightly cool palm pressed on the back of Wu Su's hand, he leaned over and lowered his eyes, and touched the center of her eyebrows.
"Don't be afraid of it." He said.
"It's too sharp." Usu replied.
She didn't know what His Highness meant by handing over the sword to her.
This is the closest sword bone that fell from him, this sword bone, which should have been sharper than a sword, cold as snow, and dusty as a fairy.
Now it lay quietly in Usu's palm, not repulsing her inhuman existence in any way.
