I was held tightly in Pei Yuanfeng's arms. My whole body was so weak that I felt like I would faint at any moment. I slowly raised my eyes and saw that familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him.

He seemed to be a little thinner than before, his stern face was more angular, and his whole person was getting colder, even with a faint feeling of cruelty. He stood at the door from a distance, looking at him with cold eyes.

Follow us.

It was cold in spring, but his eyes were the coldest ray of light.

Especially when his eyes fell on me, they were as cold as ice, as if they were piercing into my body.

I looked at him calmly, but I couldn't bear the pain all over my body. I lowered my head and coughed up blood again. The bright red blood fell on my chest and stained a large area of ​​my clothes.

Only then did I realize that my snow-white dress had been dyed red in several places, like red plum petals falling in the snow, so dazzling and dazzling.

Seeing that I was so weak from coughing, Pei Yuanfeng lowered his head and said, "Don't be afraid. I will protect you!"

"..."

I raised my head and looked at the face that was still young but no longer immature. It had the stability and fortitude of a mature man, as if one word was as unshakable as Mount Tai. In a daze, I remembered that I was about to be raped.

When I was canonizing, I saw that young man in the rain. After many days, he was still the same as before, caring about me meticulously, even going into any danger for me.

But I was destined to fail him.

I looked at him and had no strength to speak anymore. I could only curl my lips weakly. At this time, Pei Yuanhao had already walked in front of us. He glanced down at me, then slowly looked at Pei Yuanfeng and spoke,

The voice was cold and deep: "What are you going to do!"

This sentence is no longer a question.

Pei Yuanfeng looked up at him without fear: "Brother Chen wants to take her away."

"Take her away?" Pei Yuanhao's eyes became colder: "Do you know who she is?"

"She is the most important person to my brother!"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Yuanhao was okay, but the people behind him were all stunned. Several concubines immediately changed their expressions. You looked at me and I looked at you, with a bit of disdain and ridicule revealed in the shock.

, they all started talking in whispers. Chang Qing stood calmly beside us, looking at us without saying a word, then looked at Pei Yuanfeng, waved his hand, and retreated behind with several concubines.

Pei Yuanhao looked at him for a long time and finally spoke in a deep voice: "Yuanfeng, do you know what you just said?"

"..."

"She is my woman!"

"She is no longer here!" Pei Yuanfeng was so anxious that his face turned red, and he even said with a bit of anger: "Your Majesty, you have already destroyed her."

"Even if it is abolished, others will not be allowed to get involved."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

I was lying in Pei Yuanfeng's arms. The physical pain and mental pressure almost made me faint. But when I heard these words, I felt like I was struck by lightning. I opened my eyes in shock and looked towards

The person who spoke.

Even if it is useless, it will not allow others to get involved?

Haha...

I smiled sadly.

This is him!

When I wanted to leave the palace, he stopped me at the palace gate like this, ruining my biggest dream in life. When I was in the cold palace, he was also so domineering and indulgent, so that I couldn't retreat in the slightest, and could only let him take whatever he wanted.

.

And now, he has destroyed me and left me in this cold palace, leaving me to fend for myself. Even so, he still will not let me go.

Haha...

Why? Why did he appear in my life, why did I... fall in love with him?

As if they felt the deep pain in my heart, both brothers looked down at me in unison, and saw the sad smile on my pale face. Suddenly, Pei Yuanfeng held my hands harder.

As for Pei Yuanhao, the coldness in his eyes became even deeper.

"Brother Chen has never thought about getting her!" Pei Yuanfeng was silent for a long time, and finally said this, his voice slowly choked up, and he looked down at me: "Brother Chen has never dared to dream of getting her, because she

The person in my heart is not me, so I just want her to be happy."

When he said this, his eyes turned slightly red and he looked up at Pei Yuanhao: "But I didn't expect that she would be like this!"

"..."

"If I had known earlier that she wanted me to be happy for her, it would end like this, I would never let go like this!"

When he said these words, Pei Yuanhao's breathing seemed to be messed up. He looked down at me, but I looked up at the young, but still scarred face with an indescribable bitterness.

Face - I never know when he started it. I know nothing about all this, but when he said it, he had already reached this step.

It hurts...

Not only my face, body, but also the beating place in my chest hurts.

This is a debt I owe and cannot afford to repay!

The hand holding his shirt was trembling slightly, but he could no longer exert any force, but something was flowing in his hot eyes, almost filling them.

He looked down at me and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid."

"..."

"I said, I will protect you, no one can hurt you in front of me today!"

"..."

I shook my head feebly, tears already sliding down my thin cheeks, dripping onto the clothes stained with bloodstains, disappearing quickly, but turning the bloodstains into a light pink.

The two brothers stood face to face and faced each other. They were silent for a long time. When Pei Yuanhao spoke again, his voice was unexpectedly calm——

"Yuanfeng, you should know your identity."

"..."

"I'm here to do great things for you. You can't do it for a woman again and again—"

Before he finished speaking, Pei Yuanfeng had already said: "If you can't even protect the most important woman, what big thing can I do?"

The corners of Pei Yuanhao's eyes twitched, and there were only a few ripples on his calm face. There was no emotion or anger at all, and I didn't know what he was thinking. I had no energy to think about it anymore.

Trying to stop something, my body felt hot and painful, almost making me faint.

"You really want her that much?"

"Didn't the Emperor just say that this time I have made an extraordinary contribution? I want to ask you what kind of reward I want. I don't want soldiers, I don't want money and food, and I just want a woman that you have destroyed. Isn't that okay?"<

/p>

His voice is not loud, but very firm.

Most of the group of people standing far away heard this sentence, some were shocked, and some had hidden contempt, but the expressions on the faces of two people were very strange.

"What would happen to you if you took her away?"

"Brother Chen will not do anything." Pei Yuanfeng looked down at me, his eyes a little red: "As long as she doesn't want to, Brother Chen will not force her at all. Brother Chen - Brother Chen just wants her to be well.

”

Pei Yuanhao took a deep breath, then slowly lowered his head and looked at me.

What they said was all about me, but there was no room for me to interfere. I could only keep myself from passing out with all my energy, and I had reached my limit. Even if I couldn't see myself at this moment, I could still tell that I was alive.

He looked so miserable, with a pale face, residual blood on his lips, and blood stains on his body, all of which he could see clearly.

I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but he seemed to grind his teeth.

After a while, I heard him speak and said calmly: "I can consider it."

Pei Yuanfeng didn't seem to expect that he would actually let go. A look of surprise suddenly flashed across his face, and he took a step forward: "Then——"

"But not now."

As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Yuanfeng's face darkened: "Then, when was it?"

"She is a guilty person now. If I let her go without any reason, then the harem will have no control over her."

"Being guilty?" Pei Yuanfeng frowned, looked at me, and then at Yuwen, who had been thrown aside by him before. Suddenly he seemed to understand something and said, "What crime did she commit?

”

"She plotted to kill my eldest prince, and designed to kill his biological mother, the virtuous concubine Xu Youling."

Concubine Xian...? It turns out that he has already given Xu Youling the title of concubine. When I think back to that weak woman who risked her life for her child, I feel empty in my heart. She has received this kind of respect that women in the harem dream of.

, but no longer enjoy the fate.

However, when Pei Yuanfeng heard this, he immediately shouted: "No, how could she do such a thing?!"

"I told you before, this woman is not that innocent."
To be continued...
