Hearing that familiar voice ringing in my ears, many memories that had been left behind for a while came flooding back. I couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The blood sprayed on the snow-white clothes, like red plum petals falling on the snow, dazzling and shocking. Those strong and gentle arms hugged me tighter, and the gentle voice also trembled a little: "

Qingying! Qingying!"

I rubbed my cheek against the warm chest. I raised my head softly and saw that handsome face in the firelight.

It has been missing for many years.

Although it has been many years since I last saw him, and the people around him are also changing, he seems to have not changed. He still has the familiar outline and the same face, even the same as in the first memory, with clear eyebrows, a face like a crown jade, and a body like snow.

The white clothes still have a graceful and peerless appearance, and they look like the warm sunshine of spring in the dark night. But those eyes that were originally as calm as the lake broke the peace of the past and looked at me with incomparable panic.

"Qingying!"

Pei Yuanxiu...

It's him.

I fell softly into his arms. I felt the pain twitching all over my body, but I didn’t know where the strength came from. I grabbed his sleeves hard and wanted to say something, but I no longer had the strength to speak. He put

I hugged him tighter, and there was a light in those eyes that I had never seen before. With a strong force, he hugged me up.

The people around were all silent at this moment, no one dared to speak, only Butu stepped forward and whispered: "Young Master..."

He couldn't listen to a word, and without even looking at the people around him, he turned around and left.

I was helplessly held in his arms, and I could only look at the dark sky in the distance in a daze. It seemed that there was a faint skylight shining through the night, and the woman in brocade clothes had been standing beside me, looking at me with needle-point eyes.

Look at me, look at the man holding me, until we are far away.

In the following time, my world will be chaotic.

I did not faint. Even if I was about to lose consciousness, the pain in my body would immediately pull me out of the dark abyss and continue to suffer; and there was still a fire burning in my heart.

I want to ask, I want to find, but I just don’t have the energy to ask or find, or even the energy to open my eyes, speak, look, or speak.

I can only feel that I have been held tightly in that warm embrace. I don’t know how many places I have walked, how many people have come up to greet me, and how much chaos I have caused. Those hands have never let go.

I don't know how long she had been in chaos, but an old voice said: "Her poison is already very deep."

"Then——"

"Don't worry."

Just two words, I seemed to feel someone was relieved.

I don’t know how long it took, but someone wiped my hands with a warm and moist handkerchief, and carefully brushed away the messy hair from my face. After a while, I felt a chill on the top of my head, and a silver needle pierced me.

I frowned slightly and struggled subconsciously, but I was immediately surrounded by those hands, holding them gently but hard: "It's okay."

The needle stuck deeper and deeper, and the pain that followed made me cry: "Ugh..."

"It's okay."

The voice was as gentle as the spring breeze blowing over the ears, bringing bursts of fine numbness and warm breath. Although the pain and discomfort of poisonous hair would not be alleviated by such gentleness, the voice never stopped, and it seemed that

After giving me a little strength, I finally gritted my teeth and got through the saddest time.

Then, I heard someone sigh again, very softly, as if I was finally relieved. I seemed to let go of the burden in my heart and slowly fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took before I finally woke up, and I opened my eyes in silence.

I thought that I would be the only one in the same quiet environment as in the dream, but I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my eyes, I met a pair of gentle and clear eyes, curved with a little smile, looking at me.

.

I was not quite awake for a while, I only looked at the familiar outline in the morning light.

"You're awake."

"..."

"Are you feeling better?"

"..."

I was still confused and didn't speak. He chuckled softly and stretched out his hand to brush the hair from my forehead. Only then did I see the face with a gentle smile: "Too..."

I don’t know how to speak.

He is no longer the prince, nor is he Mr. Yuan who protected me in the rain of arrows in Dongzhou. I have never known a lot about the man in front of me, and now, I don’t even know how to say the first words to him.

.

"That's great." He said, his warm palm touching my forehead: "If you don't have fever, you have it under control."

"Huh?"

"Your poison."

"Ah...!"

"Don't worry."

"Ah..."

He said something and I said something, but he was still not quite sober. He looked at him blankly for a long time. It seemed that he had a lot of things to say and a lot of questions to ask, but he couldn't say them or ask them. He just couldn't.

Slowly he stretched out his hand to prop himself up. When he saw me moving, he immediately came over and carefully supported my arms and shoulders. He placed the soft pillow next to me behind me so that I could lean on the head of the bed comfortably, and then put

The quilt is tucked up.

"If you feel uncomfortable, tell me."

"..."

I finally woke up, looked into his eyes that had always been indifferent but seemed to be smiling, and said dryly: "Your Highness..."

Even my own voice had a hint of hesitation, and he smiled crookedly: "Why do you still call me that?"

"I..."

"I am no longer Your Highness, and in this world, it is not the time for me to call you Your Highness."

I raised my head and looked at him. After a moment of silence, I heard him say: "Qingying, actually you can call me..."

"Master."

A faint smile appeared on my pale lips: "Long time no see."

His face remained calm as usual, and his smile was as gentle as ever: "I've been looking for you for a long time."

I opened my eyes slightly and looked at him. At this time, my slightly clearer brain managed to figure out some things, and then looked around. I was in an exquisite room, with not many furnishings around, simple and simple.

The thought and elegant taste of the people who placed them can be seen in several utensils. Even the goose-yellow bed curtain above the head and the exquisite embroidery are treasures from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau.

This is definitely not an ordinary room, nor is it something that an ordinary prince in trouble can have.

I thought for a while and said with some effort: "You are... on this side of Jiangnan..."

"Yes." He smiled and nodded generously: "The six provinces of Jiangnan are mine now."

Looking at his smile, I don’t know why, but I feel like he hasn’t finished what he said.

The six provinces of Jiangnan are now his.

So what about the future? What else will be his?

I suddenly didn't dare to think anymore, and at this moment, the thread that had been entangled in my heart was tightened. I hurriedly said: "Where is Li'er? I, my daughter, am--"
p>

"Don't worry, she's here with me."

When I heard it, I immediately felt that my heart that had been gripped all these years was completely relaxed.

As expected, my daughter, my Li'er, is fine. As expected, she was rescued by him and is by his side.

When I thought of this, without caring about anything else, I couldn't help laughing and subconsciously grabbed his sleeve: "Thank you! Thank you!"

Pei Yuanxiu smiled and shook his head, and said calmly: "When I was in Dongzhou, I just wanted to see her. Unexpectedly, I encountered an accident. I saw that those people came for her, so I took her away in a hurry.

.I originally wanted to find a chance to send her back, but at that time I was seriously injured, and you - it’s not easy to see you."

By the way, I remember Nangong Lizhu told me that he was seriously injured when he took Li'er away. He even speculated that he had encountered an accident, which also gave me nightmares that I couldn't wake up from over the years. Now it seems that everything about him is okay.

Well, even when he talked about what happened back then, he himself was indifferent, but I could still vaguely understand how thrilling the change was.

But at that time, I was already "crazy".

He said slowly: "I was taken to the south of the Yangtze River. After I recovered from my injuries, I had a lot of things to do, so I have been delayed all these years."

I shook my head: "Then, where is she now? I want to see her!"

Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me, who was grabbing his sleeves hard, and said with a hint of apology: "It's not possible now."

My heart sank: "Why?"

"She went to the temple to fulfill her vow."

"Ah..."

"This child suffered a lot when I took her out of Dongzhou. Coupled with her bad congenital condition, her health has been very weak over the years, so I asked her to go to the temple to sign up, and she has to go to the temple every year
