Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned, hesitated, and saw her looking at herself, and a chuckle stiffly squeezed out of her lips: "I look at your appearance, I obviously know it a long time ago." It's just that you're all hiding it from me! ”

Pei Xiaoyuan met her red eyes.

She took a breath and spoke again: "Tell me, what happened that night back then?" My aunt, how the hell did she die? How did they end up in the wilderness of mass graves, with no bones left? ”

Like the emperor, how dare Pei Xiaoyuan and how could he bear to tell her the extremely cruel things that happened to her aunt.

"Your Majesty has indeed mentioned a few words to me before, and the queen eloped with Ding Baiya, which is really slanderous, and I don't know the rest......" he replied.

She stood motionless under the cypress, and did not continue to question him, her hand trembling slightly. Suddenly, she looked in a certain direction in the palace, and without saying a word, she turned around and was about to walk out from behind the tree.

Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned when he saw this, and looked in the direction she was looking at, and his heart was bright, and he didn't wait for her to take a step, blocking in front of her, trapping her between himself and the trunk.

"The princess is going to Fengyi Palace?" He asked, looking down.

Su Yu did not make a sound, and continued to walk, trying to bypass him.

"Calm down, princess, listen to me, don't go at this time-"

"Get out of here!"

At this moment, the young hairpin lord and Li Yan'er in the palace seemed to wake up in Su Yu's body. She couldn't control it anymore, she was furious and scolded.

Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned and glanced at her.

"What do you think I do?"

"Aye, I can't ask! You don't talk to me here! That's good! I don't want to pretend I can't do anything anymore! I'll go find that woman myself! What are you to stop me? ”

She raised her hand to push the people who stood in her way out of her way.

His lips were pursed tightly, and his brows were tangled, but his feet were rooted in the mud, and they did not move.

"Pei Xiaoyuan, get out of here!"

Su Yu was so angry that he called him by his first name, and even his voice began to tremble.

He let her scold and push himself, and did not take half a step back, but the injured shoulder was suddenly pulled by the movement of her hand, half of his body stiffened, and his handsome face twitched with pain.

Su Yu froze from Fang Cai's anger and impulsiveness, his hand paused in mid-air, slowly retracted, and finally, he drooped weakly.

"How are you? Does it hurt......"

Pei Xiaoyuan exhaled slowly, paused, and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt." ”

She leaned against the cypress tree behind her, looked up at him fixedly, and suddenly whispered, "You won't let me go there, so will you tell me?" No matter what the truth is, I can bear it. ”

"She's my aunt, and I must, and deserve, know everything."

"Unless I don't hear anything today, it's even more torture for me."

Pei Xiaoyuan's eyes looked at her red eyes on the other side, and he didn't know that what she said was also reasonable.

He paused for a moment, and at last told her what he had heard that night, at her request. It's just that I can't bear it. When talking about the section on the final murder and abandonment of the princess's body, he mentioned it in very brief words.

But that's enough. After hearing this, her face was as dead as death, and after a period of silence as suppressed as death, she turned her head and looked at the direction of the Fengyi Palace in the distance again, for a long time, motionless.

The thick dark clouds in the sky had pressed down on the spire of the towering Chengtianmen Bell and Drum Tower of the Imperial Palace.

A little bit of wet and cool water fell on Pei Xiaoyuan's forehead.

It's raining.

Suddenly, she stepped out from behind the tree and walked forward.

Pei Xiaoyuan couldn't care about anything for a while, and grabbed her hand from behind again, blocking her steps.

"Princess! Don't go! He pleaded in a low voice.

"If the princess has really thought about it, only by taking the enemy's life at once can she vent the bitterness in your heart, and I will help you. I will draw the sword for you and put it in your hand with my own hand. If the princess feels dirty, then it is up to me, I will cut the heart and liver, dig out the intestines, as long as the princess can be happy. But if the princess also knows that this is not the time to do it, but only because she is angry, then I beg the princess to listen to me and not to go for the time being. ”

"There is nothing to be done at this moment except to make the enemy see the grief of the princess."

"Please bear with me a little longer. Soon! I promise the princess! He said solemnly, word by word.

Su Yu looked at him for a moment, a smile on his face.

"Pei Langjun, you misunderstood." She spoke, and it looked no different than usual.

"Fang is not good for me, and I am angry with you. Please don't blame Pei Langjun. Thank you for telling me about it. I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me—"

At this time, the twilight rain finally couldn't wait, and hurriedly smashed through the cypress treetop crown above the two of them, and smashed it on her face.

She glanced up at the sky.

"It's getting dark, it's time to go back out of the palace." She said.

In autumn, the days get shorter. When the two of them left the palace and returned to Yongning's house, it was already dark, and the houses where there were people in the house had already turned on the lights. Pei Xiaoyuan always paid close attention to her, watched her words and actions, and found that it was really the same as usual. After eating, she watched Imperial Doctor Hu leave after examining his injuries and changing dressings, and discussed with the He family some plans to go out with him tomorrow, Cui Mansion and Ning Wangfu had to go on a trip. Finally, before the two of them had finished changing their clothes and entered the room to rest, she told him that the princess had asked her to turn around in the palace during the day.

"If you have a chance to do this, you can remind you. If you feel embarrassed, it doesn't hurt to say nothing. At my aunt's place, I didn't promise to convince Chengping. She sat in front of the makeup mirror, with her back to Pei Xiaoyuan, holding a rhino comb in her hand, and slowly combing the black and green silk that hung down, while chatting.

Pei Xiaoyuan looked at her in the mirror with a relaxed expression and a smile on her face, and at this point, he finally completely relieved his heart.

He should be overhearted. As she had always left him, she was generous, intelligent, and decent. The occasional incident in the evening that brought her great distress and pain, after experiencing that brief period of emotional uncontrollability, she should indeed let go.

With last night as the beginning, the sharing of the bed between the two of them also went very smoothly this night, without too many twists and turns. The only thing is that Pei Xiaoyuan thinks that his body is fine, and he is still lying on her inside, which makes him extremely unaccustomed. She insisted on sleeping outside.

Pei Xiaoyuan couldn't compete with her, so he could only give up.

Outside, it was raining the first night rain of autumn, with a cool breeze and cold rain, and the red leaves in the garden were wet with moss. Inside, the lights are dimming.

After she fell asleep, presumably due to the tiredness of the day, she soon closed her eyes and fell asleep with her back to him.

The medicinal power gradually attacked, but Pei Xiaoyuan was a little reluctant to fall asleep. He quietly opened his eyes, turned his face outward, and looked at her quiet back through the dim light and candle shadow that penetrated into the tent, and in the incessant sound of rain hitting the eaves in his ears.

I don't know how much it leaks, the wind outside the house is a little urgent, the night rain turns suddenly, and there is a clump of green bamboo behind the window.

In the bursts of autumn sound of the dream, Pei Xiaoyuan woke up suddenly, opened his eyes again, and subconsciously reacted that he turned his face to look at his side again.

The quilt she had covered was scattered in the corner of the bed like a wave. There was nothing around her, and she was gone.

Pei Xiaoyuan's heart hung in the air, he suddenly sat up and leaned out, raised his arm to lift the bed tent, and glanced out.

The night light in the bedroom is low-burning, and the pearl curtain hangs quietly, and the wind does not move.

She wasn't there, and her shoes weren't seen in front of her bed. Pei Xiaoyuan hurriedly got out of bed, walked out in random clothes, opened the door, called a maid who was on duty tonight, and asked the princess, only to know that she had left the Ziming Courtyard, and at that time he ordered not to disturb the concubine, the He family or anyone, and only called Yang Zaien.

Anxiety arises from the heart. Pei Xiaoyuan hurriedly dressed inside, immediately went to the gatehouse, inquired, and was told that the princess was out of the house, and the car was useless, so she rode straight on horseback, let alone where she was going.

"What time do you get out?"

"It's been a while. At that time, the drum of the third watch was quickly beaten. The porter responded.

Pei Xiaoyuan turned his face, looking at the night sky of Chang'an, which rained endlessly, and stood under the eaves in front of the gatehouse for a moment, suddenly, a thought flashed in his heart, without any delay, put on a felt hat, put on a robe, rode on a golden black horse, and galloped towards the east of the city in the rain.

It was raining at night, but Jin Wuwei's night ban was not relaxed. Along the way, he met several groups of military guards who patrolled the night, and one of them told him that at the time of the third watch, he met Yang Zaien, a chamberlain in the palace, who came out with two guards, and another person went with him, who was wearing an oil coat and a rain hat, I don't know who it was, but because of Yang Zaien, he didn't dare to ask more, and the group rode towards Yanxing Gate.

Pei Xiaoyuan rushed to Yanxingmen and asked the guards who were keeping watch at the night gate, and sure enough, Yang Zaien took people and went out of the city.

Pei Xiaoyuan galloped out of the city gate and rushed to the mass grave in the deserted suburbs.

The black dome is overwhelming, the stars and the moon are hidden, and the rain in the field is more torrential by the wind. The cowhide lantern used for lighting could not withstand the wind and rain, and had been extinguished, and the rain had already flooded the boots on his feet. He followed his memory to the place where he had been before, and searched around, but did not see her.

His instincts convinced him that she was in the wilderness at the moment, but he hadn't met it yet. He expanded his scope, continued to search, and finally dismounted, climbed to the top of a hill, stopped on it, and looked around.

At first, there was no sign of anything else except the dark rain curtain. The wild dogs running in search of food, and the ghost fire that floats with the undead, are all hidden tonight.

He continued to search, and suddenly, two eyes under the eaves froze.

Finally, at the end of a night rain as far as the eye could see, he caught a little hazy flickering light.

Pei Xiaoyuan rushed off the top of the post, jumped on the horse, and drove the horse towards the source of that little light.

Yang Zaien was wearing a robe, protecting a glass lamp in his hand, and at this moment, the person was stopping next to a wild water flowing around the mass grave.

He looked at the figure still standing on the shore in the distance, and his heart was anxious.

He didn't know why the princess didn't sleep late at night, and he didn't want the newlywed to accompany her, but he quietly went out of the city in the rain and came to this mass grave. But faintly, he realized in his heart that the princess came here to sacrifice a dead person.

After leaving the city, the wind and rain are not as gentle as in the city, and suddenly turn to a sudden one. Although there are rain hats and oil coats, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist it for a long time. He wanted to go up and persuade him to return, but he did not dare to disturb the figure that seemed to be fixed on the shore, and was secretly anxious, when suddenly, he heard the sound of wind and rain behind him, which seemed to be mixed with the faint sound of horses, and turned his head to look, and a rider came through the rain curtain from the depths of the field, and soon came to the front.

Yang Zaien recognized the comer, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to meet the lantern.

Pei Xiaoyuan said a few words to him, didn't care about erasing the water marks on his face, turned over and dismounted, and strode towards the figure in front of him, who was still unconscious.

Su Yu stood alone by the water, staring at the deep inky wild water flowing in front of his feet, and he didn't know how long he had been looking.

A gust of wind swept towards her from the depths of the wilderness across the wild waters. She was blown to her feet, and the tie of her hat was blown by the wind, and in an instant it swept away from her head, and the cold rain was unobstructed, and the slashing head cover was thrown at her face, and quickly flowed down her neck into her clothes. She couldn't open her eyes for a while, and was about to fall to the water's edge when she was about to fall to the water's edge, when suddenly a hand reached out behind her, landed on her waist, and held her steadily. Then, another linoleum rain hat was placed on her forehead. Her feet hung in the air, and she fell into a solid set of arms.

Pei Xiaoyuan felt that the person in his arms was resisting, as if he didn't want to be taken away by him like this, he bowed his head and said in a low voice: "You should go back!" ”

After a short sentence, he stepped through the mud with her who was still struggling, got on the back of the golden black horse, forcibly pulled the person into his arms again, and finally stopped her resistance, and then shielded her from the wind and rain with a coat, looked around, and was discerning the direction, Yang Zaien ran to the horse and said: "It's far back to the city here, at least twenty or thirty miles." But further north, ten miles away, is Changle Slope. It's better to go to Changle Post with the princess to take shelter from the rain and rest first! ”

He went out of the city to the mass grave, there was a road of one or twenty miles, and then he looked for people everywhere, and went out for more than ten miles, and this place was indeed close to the area of Changlepo in the north of the city.

Pei Xiaoyuan turned his horse's head and headed north. Finally, at the end of the morning of this night, I passed through a wild autumn forest under the Changle Slope and opened the gate of Changle Station.

The one surnamed Hu Yicheng was also there tonight, and he recognized that the person who came in the middle of the night was actually Pei Xiaoyuan, and saw the inner servant Yang Zaien with the second guard, and he brought a woman dressed as a woman beside him. Although most of her face was covered by the rain hat, she could still see that she was a young and beautiful woman.

Pei Xiaoyuan married a princess, no one knows about this. Yi Cheng guessed that the bride should be the princess who married the horse.

Even if it wasn't, because of Pei Xiaoyuan's old favor on the night when he came to Chang'an to stay here at the beginning of the year, he would welcome him with all his might. Although I had doubts in my heart, I don't know how Pei Yuma could come here in such a late night rain with a disgraced princess, but how dare he ask more, he was only overjoyed to welcome people in, and immediately sent them to a vacant upper room, and then, lamps, hot water, incense towels, tea, smoke cages, and a change of clean clothes from head to toe were also quickly delivered.

Pei Xiaoyuan closed the door and turned back.

She was still sitting on a pearwood bed, her rain-soaked bun long since scattered, her black hair clinging to her face and neck in a messy manner, her face paling with a little starmark on the skin between her eyebrows. Her eyes were stagnant, her mind did not belong, as if a few wisps of soul were still wandering outside the seven orifices and did not return, and she didn't know how to remove the rain-sheltering oil coat on her body, only to let it keep dripping with water droplets, and a wet mark quickly accumulated under her body.

He walked quickly in front of her, called the princess softly, and seeing that she still should not, he hesitated for a moment, whispered "offended", and took off her oil coat himself. When I got rid of it, I found that her inner clothes were almost soaked.

When she left the Yongning house, she didn't wear much clothes, only a purple valerian embroidered jacket in the middle of the coat. The double-layered silk fabric, how can it withstand the rain, it is tightly attached to her body at this moment, and the undulating curves of her body are all outlined with the wet clothes, and they are unconcealed.

Pei Xiaoyuan only felt that his eyes were hot, forcing him not to dare to look more, so he turned his gaze silently, and then raised his voice slightly: "Princess! After calling, seeing that she finally moved, she should have been awakened, her eyes were still a little dazed, and she looked over.

"You're wet, and there's no one here to serve, so change your clothes and rest."

He looked at her beautiful eyes that were gradually turning clear, and said softly, and then he didn't look any more, moved the warm smoke cage to her side, and then took the scarves and dry clothes prepared for her, and put them in her hand, and when he was done, he walked behind a screen, turned his back to her, and began to wait.

There was a quiet moment in her direction, and then there was a small noise. The sound of undressing and dressing and tying, and the sound of wiping hair, clearly entered Pei Xiaoyuan's ears through a layer of semi-transparent Qiluo covered in the wooden frame of the screen.

He always lowered his eyelids slightly, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and after about a stick of incense, the sound behind the screen gradually stopped, and he stayed for a while, Fang slowly turned sideways, and looked back.

Through the layer behind him, he faintly saw that she had gone to the bed and was lying down.

Pei Xiaoyuan calmed down, then turned out from behind the screen, gently lowered the curtain for her, and then covered the wet clothes and other things she took off on the smoke cage, and then turned to the back of the screen, except for the clothes that were actually almost wet. Fortunately, there are two layers on the shoulders of the coat, and the wound is not wet. He changed into a set of coats that the postman had prepared for him, cleaned them up, and then turned out from behind the screen, and stopped in front of the low-hanging bed. When I think that there seems to be only one quilt on this bed, I inevitably hesitate again. After standing for a while, he finally boarded the only couch in the inn.

He didn't lift the quilt, only took a clean coat, and rolled it around his waist and abdomen at will.
