Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

"I should be going."

When I said this, I heard his breath sink.

I know that this person has always been the most sober one, and will not easily let himself fall into fantasy and dreams, but at this moment, when I heard this sentence, his eyes looked like he had just started from a scene. Waking up in the dream, facing the reality in front of her, she was at a loss.

He looked at me and then Lier.

For a long time, he said, "It's time to go."

"..." I glanced at him and said nothing, but walked down from his side with his head down, Lili stood still, looking at him even more at a loss, as if both feet were born on the ground Roots, although people are rickety, they come out step by step.

I turned back and said, "Lier, leave with my mother."

"..."

She looked up and looked at Pei Yuanzhang's lowered face. After a long time, she finally lowered her head and slowly walked to my side, holding my hand.

I smiled at her, but there was no room to compliment her for being obedient, just squeezed her little hand and took her out. The ankle injury seemed to be much more serious than I expected. Every step was like a blunt knife cutting my ankle bone. I even suspected that I had left blood all the way, but everyone behind me said nothing. Don't say, just silent.

And I was silent, enduring the painful pain, and walked to the door step by step.

But just when I got to the door and was about to step out, there was a sound of footsteps behind me, hurried toward us, my heart sank, a flash of terror flashed in my eyes, and I looked back at him .

Pei Yuanzhang has come behind us, at a close distance. The icy expression in his eyes is undisguised and unobstructed.

What is he going to do?

When the fear in my heart sprang up, he stopped and stifled the urgency in his eyes, raised a gentle and gentle look at Lier, and then looked at me again: "I send you. "

"..." I frowned slightly. "No need."

"need!"

This time, Lier opened her mouth. She held my hand backhand and shook it gently: "Well, mother."

"..."

"Before, he had sent me across the river."

"..."

"All right?"

She looked up at me. The flashing light in her eyes seemed to be wet. I could almost feel the scorching in her heart, but she didn't say a word, just so gently, holding me Hands, shaking.

I think her heart seems to be pinched by her, and it hurts slightly.

After a moment of silence, I finally nodded: "Okay."

After speaking, I looked up at Pei Yuanzhang again and didn't know what else to say. He just turned around, and he had already stepped forward, took the other hand of Lier, and led us out. This tea house.

At this time, it was already dark, and the lantern festival that had experienced a drastic change did not continue. All the ordinary people were scared to return to their homes, one by one behind closed doors. There were three steps and one whistle on the street. There is no other person in the guard, and those unrecognizable lanterns are still hanging on both sides, emitting gorgeous and lonely light.

We rode in a carriage and soon reached the waterfront pier.

At this time, there was a thick fog on the river. The thick mist was permeating the wide river. It was almost impossible to see the scene of the river's heart and the undulations of the river. I just listened to the waves coming from the depth of the water mist. The rushing sound, as if the heartbeat of a person, fluctuates.

That ship also slowly undulated with the river.

My footsteps kept pacing. After I got on the boat, I held the fence in one hand, and looked at the misty river with anxiety. Although the time was late, Pei Yuanxiu should not be so impulsive. After all, there was no substance on both sides. Sexual conflict, he should not do anything.

But I do n’t know why, the more I think about it, the more I comfort myself, the colder I sweat.

Lier stood next to me, looked up at me, and said gently, "Mother, are you in pain?"

I glanced down at her.

She hurriedly took out her handkerchief from her sleeve, raised her hand, and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead: "You sweat a lot, isn't it painful?"

As soon as her voice fell, I have n’t had time to answer, and Pei Yuanzhang has said, "If it still hurts, I--"

I was busy: "No."

"..." He looked at me.

"I'm not in pain."

Speaking, I glanced at him, and then looked at the transpiration of the mist on the river surface. With my gaze, he seemed to understand something and was silent.

The boat finally anchored. With the call of the boatman, he slowly turned around and drove to the river's center, feeling that the river was constantly rolling, and even some big waves hit the bow of the boat. I just reached out and wiped my cheek gently, still looking at the river surface.

Water mist hits with splashing water.

When the ship passed by and slowly entered the center of the river, the wind and waves on the river were even bigger, as if an invisible black hand was stirring the water under the water, and we were to be involved in the darkness.

At this time, I saw the depths of the mist, and a little light came out.

That is--

My breath suddenly choked.

The sweat on my forehead has been wiped away by Lier, and it has been dried by Jiang Feng, but the cold sweat in my palm keeps blowing out. When I just hold the wooden fence, I just feel a sweat on my palm. The boat moved forward little by little and approached Jinling little by little, and my hand holding the fence was even harder.

That faint light is getting stronger as we get closer.

Even when I heard the sound of water waves, there were even louder sounds on the shore. Gradually, they had covered the sound of the waves on the river, getting louder and louder, and even stirred the water waves in the river.

Then, the tall silhouettes of several large ships slowly emerged in the thick fog.

My eyes widened suddenly.

Jinling's port does not have such a large ship docking these days, and the outline of those ships does not look like an ordinary merchant ship cargo ship. Even if the thick fog is diffused, it reveals a hint of radon, which makes people feel extremely disturbed.

My breath tightened and I turned to look at Pei Yuanzhang.

He also saw that scene, but his face didn't change much. He just looked at the outlines of those ships that slowly passed through the dense fog, and his eyes became colder. At this time, Wu Yanqiu, who was waiting aside, saw it, and walked a little uneasily, and whispered in his ear: "Master, the situation is not quite right over Jinling."

"..."

"I'm afraid they're ready-- we can't go any further."

"..."

"just in case--"

He didn't speak, but just raised his hand, preventing Wu Yanqiu from continuing.

Wu Yanqiu was restless, but his face became more anxious. Watching the ship sail to the south along the river, not only the outlines of the big ships became clearer, but even the continuous fire on the shore could be clearly seen.

My face was illuminated by the light of fire through the mist.

Looking up, there seemed to be a lot of people gathered on the pier. The crowd made a noise that gradually covered the waves, and those people held their torches in their hands, and they became one in the night. The wind undulating and burning, like a sea of ​​fire. The fire light not only illuminated the river bank, the pier, but also the river water near the bank, throwing the hot temperature and color into the river.

With the river flowing, my eyes were almost uncontrollable, so I looked at the Shuijun camp, which was not far away. These camps have become quite quiet these days, but from today ’s ordinary people, During the conversation, I also knew that it was not quiet at all, it was just a brief calm before the storm.

Now, the Shuijun camp village is also brightly lit, and even clearly saw many people running around and following.

Although Lier has been on the river for many times, this is the first time that I have seen such a pier in the night, and I was stunned for a while, looking at it with wide eyes.

Seeing that the distance was getting closer, Wu Yanqiu was also anxious and said anxiously, "Master, you can't go any further."

Pei Yuanzhang still did not speak, but just looked at the south quietly.

It's not my illusion. At this moment, although the mist was diffused, his eyes slowly sharpened in the mist, and there was repeatedly an invisible knife, which had been sheathed in his eyes.

I couldn't help feeling more heavy.

The pier in Jinling, except for the day when Pei Yuanxiu and I got married, never had such a scene. I'm afraid it's really because I and Lie haven't returned home after the agreed time, but I also know that it's not all because of this. The reason-from that camp, from the urgency of the Han sisters, from the phrase "the Han family has a daughter, and the mother will be the world", from those letters in Pei Yuanxiu's study, and from them to increase taxes ... I already know that all The peace is only temporary.

My expectations were different from his expectations.

Thinking of this, the feeling of acupuncture fell on my heart, hitting my heart like a lingering pain on the shoulder for a while.

Seeing that our ship was getting closer to the south bank, but Pei Yuanzhang didn't mean to stop at all. Wu Yanqiu was more and more anxious beside him, and even looked at me in a panic, as if I hope to talk to Pei Yuan Alas, let him stop there.

I frowned, looked at the shore, and looked at Pei Yuanzhang.

"you--"

After waiting for my exit, I suddenly felt a turbulent wave nearby, and several boatmen on the ship shouted. We turned around subconsciously and saw that a ship broke through the dense fog and was quickly catching up from behind. Already parallel with our ship.

The people on board turned out to be Wen Fengxi!

My breath suffocated and I looked subconsciously behind him, but behind him were only those heavily armed soldiers, and no other familiar figures.

As soon as Lier saw him, he seemed to froze, and his gaze circulated around him. After a while, he looked down with a faint gloom.

At this time, Wen Fengxi had a loud voice: "Emperor! Can't pass anymore!"

This sound, like a silent thunder, shocked everyone.

I clearly felt like I was taking a sip of air.

But her hands holding the fence were harder, and she didn't look back.

Pei Yuanzhang, after looking back at me, her eyes flickered, slowly looking at Lili, who was facing us with her back, watching her small, thin and slender figure in the wind, in her eyes There was a pain like a needle stick.

For a while, even I couldn't speak.
