My lowered eyelashes trembled slightly, and when I raised my eyes, I saw the tall figure at the door.

This is Pei Yuanhao.

He was standing at the door. The dark night and his figure almost blended into one. He seemed to have walked out of the night. He didn't know how long he had been standing there. Mother Wu and the others were startled and knelt down.

The tone of his voice also changed when he said: "This slave is paying homage to the Emperor."

"Everyone get down."

He said these two words calmly, without any warmth. Aunt Wu looked at him, then at me who was pale, hesitated for a moment, and kowtowed tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Miss, she——

She is very weak, and her cold syndrome has never been cured..."

"..."

"Just now, she coughed up blood."

I don’t know if it was my imagination, but I seemed to see the corners of his eyes twitching slightly.

There was silence for a long time, and the atmosphere was as stiff as if it had been frozen into ice. Mother Wu was already kneeling on the ground shaking, and she heard him still saying coldly and without a trace of warmth: "Go down."

After all, they didn't dare to say anything more. They kowtowed and walked out tremblingly. After a moment of hesitation, they closed the door.

He and I were the only ones left in the room.

He walked over step by step, and his face shrouded in shadow was illuminated by the flickering candlelight, making it look uncertain, and the thick shadow cast by his tall figure slowly enveloped me, covering me.

Living under the candlelight, my eyes were filled with darkness.

A strong smell of alcohol rushed towards me.

No wonder Nanny Wu had the courage to say those words to him just now because she smelled the smell of alcohol on his body. Today, when Pei Yuanfeng comes back, of course there will be alcohol at the state banquet.

The last time he came to see me after drinking was——

I couldn't think about it, I didn't dare to think about it. Every time I thought about it, it was like tearing open the wound bloody again. The pain was so painful that I couldn't continue breathing. I felt a little disorder in my chest, and I immediately tried to calm myself down and looked at it lightly.

Follow him.

He walked closer step by step, the candlelight flickering behind him. I could barely see his face clearly, only the thin outline fell into my eyes, burning like a soldering iron.

"Sometimes," he said as he walked, his voice a little dry and hoarse: "I really want to kill you."

"..."

"It would be nice if you were really dead."

"..."

"You are liberated, and so am I."

After saying this, he put his right hand into his sleeve and pulled it out. Suddenly, a cold light flashed before my eyes, stinging my eyes. It turned out to be a sharp dagger.

My heart skipped a beat: "No!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cold light had already passed through his wrist, and suddenly bright red blood gushes out from the cut wound, falling to the ground drop by drop, and his hand had already been stretched out in front of me, and suddenly there was a thick

The strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of wine filled the tip of my nose.

No——!

A hot feeling surged from my heart, and everything in front of me suddenly blurred. Seeing that his wrist had reached my mouth, I quickly turned away, but his hand was pressed tightly against my cheek.

, the blood stained it and dripped onto my chest. The snow-white skirt was suddenly dotted with red plums, almost exactly the same as the scene during the day.

Tears dripped down like broken beads and merged with the blood. Looking at the old and new wounds on his wrist, I suddenly felt that the unspeakable pain appeared again, and it hurt so much that my heart was about to burst.

, but could not say anything and could only shake his head desperately.

He pressed on me, with an angry edge on his face, and said fiercely: "Open your mouth!"

"..."

I bit my lower lip and couldn't speak. Although the tears had blurred my vision, I still looked at him with wide eyes. The tears dripped down and mixed with the blood, which was so hot that it made my heart ache.

There was a trace of cruelty in his eyes. He put his wrist to his mouth and took a deep breath. Then he grabbed my chin and squeezed it hard——

"Uh--!"

I let out a painful groan, as if my jaw was almost crushed. The severe pain made tears burst out, but he had already leaned down and pressed my lips hard.

Blood flowed into my mouth from his hot lips.

……

The blood just flowed from his body into mine one by one.

I can no longer struggle or resist. His smell seems to be so overbearing and bloody that no one can resist. Even if I resist, it will be so painful.

Slowly, he stayed on my lips for longer and longer, and his strength became softer and softer. The hand holding my jaw also loosened, and he gently touched my cheek and touched it.

It was hot and wet, and I wiped it with my rough thumb, finally stopping on my trembling lips.

The two of them were only a little apart, and their breaths were filled with the smell of each other.

He looked down at me, his dark eyes were invincible, but there was a pale, small shadow reflected in them. I looked at that shadow and slowly closed my eyes.

……

"Since you are not dead yet, let's continue to fight."

The spring is cold and cold.

The wind on the pier was even more biting, carrying a lingering chill from winter, causing people to shrink their necks.

The ship is very big, and the wide deck can accommodate ten people walking side by side. The three-story attic makes this big ship less like a ship and more like a tower on the sea, standing majestically in the morning light.

I stood upright and looked at the rippling water under my feet, filled with mist, smelling like cold river water blown over by the morning breeze, making it moist.

But my eyes can see further, to the other side of the vast mist.

"Girl, be careful not to catch a cold again."

Shuixiu walked up behind me and put a thick coat on my body. I felt warm all of a sudden. I looked back at her and smiled lightly.

Because Prince Qi left a message, Shui Xiu could go south with him. When she got up in the morning and opened the curtain, she saw the blood stains on me, on the quilt, and at the corners of my lips. She was about to scream in fright on the spot, thinking that I was really

When something unexpected happened, I covered her mouth and asked her to get hot water to wash it off. I also packed up the quilt and clothes early, so that I didn’t let Grandma Wu and the others see her and worry.

After that, not only did the cold in my body subside, but the low-grade fever that had lingered for several days also subsided.

They didn't dare to ask a word about what happened last night, but they were glad that my health finally got better before I left. At least I wouldn't be more seriously ill due to the fatigue of traveling and traveling. However, when Shuixiu thought of the tragic scene in bed, she still seemed to be worried.

I have lingering fears and am careful about everything.

As soon as I got on the boat, he followed me closely, for fear that I would bump into him again, and protected me like a porcelain doll.

A gust of wind blew. Although the ship was stable, my thin body could not bear it. It shook a little while holding on to the railing. Shuixiu hurriedly said: "Girl, let's go in first."

I nodded, and just as I was about to turn around and enter the cabin, I heard the sound of drums and music below. When I looked back, I saw the mighty Luan Jia heading this way.

The emperor went south. The maids, eunuchs and guards were the first to get on the boat to prepare. At this time, Pei Yuanhao arrived at the pier. I turned around and looked at the sea of ​​people on the pier, with colorful flags fluttering, the roaring drum music making the water tremble, and the smoke.

Spreading out.

At a glance, I saw the man in the crowd.

He is still tall and strong, his back is still straight, and his bright yellow dragon robe is still dazzling in the morning mist. Perhaps it is not just because of the dragon robe. In fact, no matter where he stands, people can see him for the first time.<

/p>

The first thing I saw was that his face was a little pale, even paler than last night.

I subconsciously stretched out my hand and touched the corners of my lips with my fingertips trembling slightly.

The hot, sweet feeling is still there, just like that sentence is still ringing in my ears. Even if I close my eyes, even if it's dark, I can still tell that when he said these words, there was something in his voice.

How hoarse, how heavy——

After all, we will continue to struggle.

Never die, never stop.

From a distance, he raised his head and glanced at the boat. It was obviously so far away, but I don't know if it was my imagination, but he seemed to look over at a glance and met my eyes directly.

"..."

I looked at him calmly, but I didn't know if it was because it was too cold, but my fingers holding the railing were trembling slightly.

Shuixiu looked at it, hurriedly supported me and said anxiously: "Girl, are you feeling uncomfortable again? You'd better go in quickly."

"...It's okay."

I took a step back slightly and leaned against the hatch. Although the low-grade fever had gone away and the cold had improved a lot, my body was still injured. After standing for a while, I felt weak and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

.

After finally holding on for a while, and just as I felt better, I heard a familiar voice sounding behind me——

"Qingying!"

Looking back, Pei Yuanfeng ran towards me with a face of joy.
To be continued...
