The emperor's favorite useless concubine

Chapter 26 Rescue
Yi Ren was taken aback, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Fang Ze fixedly.

It was only then that she discovered that there was a pair of warm jewel-like eyes on that not-so-remarkable face.

She saw a slight smile on his lips, and a slight 'silence' gesture with his hand on his chest.

Immediately, Yi Ren felt that the hot palms just now no longer hurt, and felt safe and secure, like getting under the covers in winter, waiting for the moment to fall asleep.

The three fled along the remote path in the back mountain. After Fang Ze arrived, he naturally changed to escort Yi Ren, and the middle-aged man took the lead and walked in front.

Fang Ze——Pei Ruochen's actions were obviously not as rude as the middle-aged man's. In fact, his hand holding Yi Ren's arm seemed to be very strong, but it was actually very gentle, just like a couple holding hands on a date during an autumn outing.

Yi Ren was led by him in this way, looking at his still handsome back despite the disguise from behind, as if his feet were on cotton, in a trance.

She used to think that he was good-looking and could play the piano well, but she didn't know that he was also good at acting, and he was alert and appropriate, not like a vase at all.

Thinking about it like this, she actually felt that Pei Ruochen was really good at everything, that facial features, that elegance, that blue-like scent that invaded her nose, and the warmth he pressed on her wrist, all made her Dizzy, unprecedented.

At this moment, Pei Ruochen turned around again and smiled at her reassuringly. The smile was shallow and flashed by, but it was like the last ant on the end of a tug-of-war rope, causing Yi Ren's brain to explode.

The sky is full of stars, and this long journey of escape is unprecedentedly tireless, just like flying through the clouds.

She couldn't say why.Maybe when He Lanxue abandoned her and let her be alone and captured by others, although Yi Ren took it for granted, there was also fear in her heart.

She is not a hero who is not afraid of death. In fact, she is afraid of death, tiredness, pain, and hardship. She is just a little girl who is afraid of everything.

And Pei Ruochen came at this time, with a new look, gentle and reliable.

——Because of his disguise, she can no longer be confused by his appearance.

"It's here." After walking for an unknown amount of time, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped in front of a big house in the middle of the busy city.

Yi Ren looked up, and saw a large plaque on it, with the four characters of 'Nantian Tea House' written on it.The ink was dripping with a bit of arrogance, and I don't know who made it.

She suddenly remembered the old saying that the big hermit lives in the city.

While talking, the middle-aged man had raised his hand and knocked on the simple wooden door in front of the tea house. '

The wooden door was pulled open with a sound of 'Yiya', and a head wearing a felt hat came out from inside. Seeing the middle-aged man, the kid in the felt hat was overjoyed and said: "Director You, you are back, did you succeed?" ?”

"Let's go in and talk." The middle-aged man called Director You looked around the street vigilantly, then made a 'be careful' gesture, and quickly entered the door.

Naturally, Pei Ruochen and Yi Ren followed inside.

The door panel was closed behind him, and Yi Ren felt his eyes darkened, and it took him a long time to get used to the light inside: only then did he realize that he was in an elegantly decorated hall, which was fully equipped with tables and chairs, furniture, and bookshelves. The thick reddish-brown color, the pen holder, pen container, and rice paper on the long case on the right are neatly arranged, the plain-colored calligraphy and paintings hang on the wall, and there is a pot of freshly brewed tea on the tea table in the first seat, making the whole inner room All are filled with a faint tea fragrance.

It's like a living room of a wealthy family, and it's a bit like a study.

"Director You, where are the things? Young master..." After seeing the three people who came in, the felt hat boy was obviously a little worried, and his round and flexible eyes rolled around on his small pointed face. .

"Hey——" Director You quickly reached out his hand to stop his words, and then glanced at Yiren: "Take her down first." In view of Yiren's abnormal cooperation along the way, Director You didn't think about making things difficult for her, nor did he A messy plan.

Hearing Director You's order, Pei Ruochen was about to take Yi Ren down, but heard a very slight sound of footsteps in the back alley of the hall, and then, the curtain between the hall and the back room moved slightly, and a plain white figure appeared indistinctly behind the curtain.

Supervisor You and the felt hat kid turned around at the same time, saluted respectfully and said to the white figure, "Young Master."

Pei Ruochen reacted quickly, and immediately bowed to salute.

Only Yi Ren still stood there stupidly, staring at the shadow curiously—through the swaying bead curtain, he persistently looked into the depths of the curtain.

But the curtains were so dense and heavy that she couldn't see the whole picture at all—of course, she didn't want to see the whole picture, she just felt that the slender body had an indescribably desolate meaning.In fact, she couldn't tell the specific feeling, maybe because the room was too quiet, he seemed distant and tight.Peerless and independent.

"I'm going back." The man tossed out a sentence.The voice is very low, but there is a kind of residual prestige accumulated over a long period of time.No one can refute.

"Young master?" Supervisor You asked hesitantly, "But, that thing hasn't arrived yet..."

"No more." The man said, neat and light, like fallen leaves falling to the ground.

Director You didn't say anything else, he just followed and said: "Then let Xiao Zhuzi accompany the young master first, after three days, the subordinates will replace the brothers and catch up with the young master."

"En." The person in the curtain responded coldly, then turned around, and left.

But after taking a step, he stopped again, slowly turned sideways, and looked in the direction of Yi Ren.

Saying that she was looking over, Yi Ren didn't notice the traces of her eyes glued to her body, but guessed through that person's form that he probably saw her.

——Of course, there is no reason not to see her, her goal is so big.

"There are strangers." He said, "That kind of incense is unique to the nobles of the Celestial Dynasty. Who else is in the room?"

Yi Ren froze for a moment, blinked, and realized something.

At this moment, a white and straight hand came out from behind the curtain, leisurely raised a corner, through the bead curtain as white as a night pearl, Yi Ren finally had a glimpse of the whole picture of the man.

The first thing she saw were his eyes, a pair of large, empty eyes with no focus.really……

Then, she discovered his paleness, pointed chin, and thin but graceful outline—that was a very light young man, with a face as fresh and beautiful as dewdrops, but without the fragility of dewdrops at all. His lips were slightly pursed. Then, the arc of the corner of his lips just turned into a cold line, and his expression became a bit mean with stubbornness.

Yi Ren opened her mouth, and said inexplicably, "Actually, it's useless to catch me back." She said matter-of-factly, "I'm just an idler, and no one in the Celestial Dynasty will come to redeem me."

"Who do you say is idle!" The boy's face darkened, and he asked indiscriminately.

"I am." Yi Ren glanced at him inexplicably, and then repeated without blushing and panting: "No one in the Heavenly Dynasty will treat me. There are many wives in He Lanxue's house, and I am one of them. Daddy—if If the ransom you ask for is small, Daddy may give it to you, but if the price is too high, Daddy will probably think that I was not born as a daughter. As for other people, if they are not related, they will not care about me. "Speaking of this, Yi Ren sighed, and said: "I'm wasting food while I'm alive, and it's harmless to the country and the people if I die. I'm really the most worthless hostage of the Celestial Dynasty."

After a pause, she looked at Director You and the others with sympathetic eyes, and sincerely apologized: "I'm really sorry for making you work for nothing. Why don't you contact my father and get back your wages?"

Director You looked at Yi Ren with the eyes of a monster, and then glanced at the boy from the corner of his eye.

The boy's complexion was getting darker and paler, and his lips, which were as thin as icebergs, were pursed into a piercing ice knife.

This time, Supervisor You looked at Yi Ren as if he were looking at a dead person.

"Kill her." Sure enough, the young man's beautiful lips closed, and he said three words indifferently.

"Young master..." Director You called in vain.

"Kill her!" The young man said it again with an accentuated tone. The cold tone almost condensed people into ice.

Supervisor You had no choice but to agree.

Yi Ren naturally knew that the "she" in the boy's mouth was referring to himself, and wanted to try to plead for him, but he opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

She didn't know what leverage she had to negotiate with this blind boy.

As she said just now, her disappearance will not cause trouble to anyone—and no one will be sad.Maybe Dad would sigh a few words, maybe he would call out on Eleventh, maybe He Lanxue would feel a little, fleeting guilt, but, then what?
Then, everyone will forget about her, as if she never existed, and the world will go on as usual.

For the first time, Yi Ren felt a sense of dread.

"...But, why did you kill me?" Qian Sibai could only ask dumbly after turning around.

"Since you know that you are useless, and you are so shameless, you might as well die." The young man replied resentfully.

Yi Ren wanted to refute, "Even if I'm useless, it's just a waste of some of He Lanxue's fat, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, why are you so angry?" There was a pathetic feeling of self-pity and self-hate, his heart softened, and he didn't say anything.

He just lowered his head and looked at Pei Ruochen.

Pei Ruochen's eyes were downcast, so calm that Yi Ren also felt relieved.

"Nothing to say? Damn trash!" The young man sneered, the expression on his handsome face was extremely strange, resentment, ridicule, and disappointment made people feel chills in their hearts.Then, he flicked his sleeves violently, and strode into the inner room with meteoric strides. The pearls all over the curtain ding ding dong dong, mingled with the sound of his swift footsteps.

When the footsteps faded away, Pei Ruochen stood up, bowed and asked, "Brother You, what should I do with this girl?"

"The young master has never said anything different. It seems that those brothers can only find another chance to be rescued. She—"

"Fang Ze knows, so let's take her out and deal with it." Pei Ruochen cupped his hands calmly, then walked over, grabbed Yi Ren's arm, and roughly pulled her out of the door.

But before he could go outside, Director You suddenly said, "You don't need to go out, just execute here. The young master doesn't like to procrastinate."

Yi Ren felt that Pei Ruochen's hand tightened suddenly, and she looked sideways, but saw the firmness in Pei Ruochen's eyes, and... embarrassment.

She doesn't know martial arts, but seeing this situation, she also knows that this place is dangerous, it might be difficult to force her way in.

However, times are pressing.He had to make a move.
