I walked over step by step holding the box. The journey was not long, but the walk was more difficult than ever before. It seemed that the box of pills in my hand weighed a thousand pounds, weighing me down so much that I could hardly breathe.

One step could drag me down.

However, the road has an end after all.

I finally walked down the steps and looked up at the closed door in front of me. There were obviously a lot of sounds coming from inside, including the sounds of palace maids running back and forth, the trembling sounds of the imperial doctors talking, and the sound of rushing water, but I heard

But I felt a strange kind of quietness, or silence. Although there were so many sounds, I couldn't hear anything clearly. The sound in my ears was like blood rushing wildly.

Only that person's breath penetrated the doors and windows, and sounded clearly in my ears together and every time.

I bit my lower lip and heard the anxious voice of the imperial doctor coming from inside: "Where's the medicine?"

"Hurry up and get it!"

There was the sound of hurried footsteps inside, and then the door was suddenly opened. A little palace maid was about to run out in a panic. When she saw me and the box in my hand, she was stunned for a moment and then said: "Miss Qing."

?"

Of course they were familiar with me, but they didn't expect that I would come here to deliver medicine, and they didn't respond for a while.

I spoke, my voice still a little hoarse: "I'm here to deliver the medicine."

"Oh? Oh..."

She quickly stepped aside and I walked in holding the box.

There is a strong smell of blood and an oppressive evil spirit in the room.

Pei Yuanhao was sitting at the table in the center of the room, with one hand on his knees and the other on the table. His condensed face showed no expression at all, and there was no warmth at all. The evil spirit emanating from him was emanating from him.

It seems like the whole room will be frozen into ice.

His dark eyes kept staring at the inner room.

Through a layer of gauze curtains, one could vaguely see the extremely luxurious bed inside, where Nangong Lizhu was lying quietly. Her pale face was set off by the bright yellow brocade, making it look increasingly bloodless and almost transparent.

The sense of transparency makes her whole person look so unreal.

The blood on her face has been wiped clean, and the small wounds have not been dealt with in time, which does not damage her beauty at all. Looking at such a beauty through the gauze curtain will only make her more beautiful and make people want to hold her in their hands and pity her.

I walked over slowly and presented the medicine to an imperial doctor: "This is medicine."

The imperial doctor turned around impatiently and was about to say something. When he saw it was me, the expression on his face suddenly changed. Pei Yuanhao turned his head when he heard my voice, and a flash of emotion seemed to flash across his calm face.

What.

But before I could see clearly, I had already regained my composure.

He stood up and walked to me, frowned slightly and looked down at me, saying, "Who asked you to come?"

"Slave, I'm here to deliver medicine."

"Go back!"

"..."

I looked up at that angular face. Just before, this face was buried in black hair and smiled softly at me, and those thin and hot lips kissed my skin. But now, everything seemed to be sudden.

Changed, so strange.

"Go back!"

He said again, and when he saw that I still didn't move, his eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, and he grinded his teeth slightly and said, "What on earth are you——"

Before he finished speaking, a soft moan came from inside.

He and I turned our heads at the same time, and saw the beauty on the bed frowning slightly, with a sad expression on her pale face. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes like autumn water.

Eyes.

When he heard this, his expression immediately changed again. He turned around quickly and brushed aside the gauze curtain and walked in. The three imperial doctors inside were so frightened that they hurriedly exited and knelt on the ground, not daring to speak any more.

He walked to the bed and looked down at the person on the bed.

At this time, Nangong Lizhu had woken up and looked up at him with her eyes open. This was really close at hand, perhaps closer than any time I had seen in the past. It was so close that he could touch him as long as he stretched out his hand.

This person was so close that she could enter his arms as soon as she stood up.

But neither of the two people moved, as if the distance was not caused by anyone, but should have been between them from the beginning.

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Yuanhao finally raised his hand and explored her face.

Just when his fingertips were still a little away from that beautiful face, Nangong Lizhu turned her head to avoid his hand.

"Don't touch me."

Her voice was very light, as soft as the spring breeze blowing across her face, but this spring breeze seemed to be blowing from the snow-capped mountains. Although it was soft, it was filled with the coldness of ice and snow.

His fingers seemed to be frozen there.

The faces of the several imperial doctors and serving maids around them all changed. They looked around, immediately got up and retreated.

I think I should quit. People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and I have clearly felt that staying will not benefit me at all. But my legs are not only heavy, but more like they have been nailed to the ground.

Once here, I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried. I could only stand stupidly on the other side of the gauze curtain, watching the familiar face of Pei Yuanhao's expression getting darker and darker at this moment.

After a while, he slowly withdrew his hand, stood up straight and looked at her.

"Why leave?"

"..."

"Why come?"

In contrast, his voice was as dry as a knife cutting through sand and gravel, with an indescribable heaviness. He slowly leaned down until he was in front of Nangong Lizhu. The two people were almost nose-to-nose, with nothing in their eyes except

There is nothing more for each other: "Since you don't want to see me, why don't you keep hiding?"

"..."

"Why do you want to appear in front of me?"

Nangong Lizhu looked at him indifferently. There had never been a woman who could look at Pei Yuanhao indifferently at such a time, but she was like this. Even though she was bruised and bruised, she did not show any cowardice.

"Why do you ask me?" She said indifferently: "Don't you want all this?"

"What?"

Pei Yuanhao frowned and stared at her closely: "What did you say?"

Nangong Lizhu's slender lips curled up slightly and said: "Why are you still like this? If you want to see me, you can turn the entire Yangzhou city upside down. If you want to kill me, it can only take one sentence. Why bother to pretend to others?"<

/p>

She lifted off the thin quilt on her body, stood up slowly, and looked up at the slightly shocked Pei Yuanhao, but her smile was still peaceful, so peaceful that it made people feel as if they were just talking about the most ordinary thing——

"If I really want to die in the hands of someone, I hope that person is you."

"..."

"In this way, even if you arrive in front of the Palace of the King of Hell, it will still be a cause and effect."

I was so shocked that I couldn't speak - Pei Yuanhao wanted her to die? How is that possible?

Pei Yuanhao was also shocked, but he was much calmer than me. He looked steadily into Nangong Lizhu's eyes and said, "You know, I will not hurt you. No matter at any time."

Nangong Lizhu said: "In the past, I believed it, but now -" Those bright autumn eyes glanced at me lightly, then took them back without leaving a trace, and looked at Pei Yuanhao and said: "People will change.

Nothing changes forever, so if you want to kill me, I don’t blame you."

"I said, I didn't."

"If not, then why did those people at the herbal medicine shop attack me?"

"What did you say?!"

Pei Yuanhao opened his eyes wide in shock, and when I heard this sentence, I was also stunned.

People from Huisheng Pharmacy did something to her?

Mo Tieyi and the others?

She was covered in wounds just now and her clothes were stained with blood. Although I could tell at a glance that she must have been attacked by some kind of attack, I never thought that it was Mo Tieyi and the others. But how could it be possible? How could Mo Tieyi and the others kill her?

Nangong Lizhu looked at our shocked looks and sneered again: "Didn't they listen to your words? Didn't you always want to recruit those people? If they didn't really surrender to you, how could they suddenly attack me.

”

Pei Yuanhao said in a deep voice: "I wanted to recruit them, but I just let those people go back. It didn't happen. How can I get them to attack you?"

Nangong Lizhu laughed: "Who are you and who am I? Don't we know each other best?"

"..."

"You said that no one can block your way. Including me, right?"

"..."

"They were put back by you, but just yesterday, those people left behind my back. I don't know who they met when they came out. However, how could anyone else know about the transaction between Shengjing and the royal family? Naturally, only you

If those people hadn't met with your people in private and been provoked, how could I have received so many knives on my body?"
