Chapter 26 Redemption
"The princess has heard of Pei Ying."

Pei Ying, the number one beauty of the Great Zhou Dynasty back then, had a rough life experience. When she was a child, she was spotted by her aunt in Baihualou on the side of the street and bought her back.

When he reached the age like a flower and a jade, his talent and beauty were sought after by the dignitaries of Chang'an City, and the sons and daughters of aristocratic families all wrote poems and recited Fu for him, just to get to meet him.

Wei Yunzhu also listened to other people's discussions at the palace spring banquet.

"Weichen's mother is really good. In the past, no matter how hard it was, as long as she was there, Weichen didn't feel bitter, but her eyesight was really bad, and she actually believed what that beast said..."

The tone of Pei Ji's speech was bleak, but it was so calm that he seemed to be telling someone else's story.

"That man lied to Weichen's mother with sweet words. My mother believed her and abandoned everything to conceive me. She would rather stay in a backyard that never sees light for the rest of her life."

His eyes drifted into the distance inexplicably: "That day, the person who hadn't returned for half a month suddenly appeared and attacked his mother again. Later, Weichen went to the gate of the medical center and kowtowed countless times before inviting the doctor. "

His tone was too steady, but Wei Yunzhu listened to it sadly, she always hated to hear sad stories.

"But the doctor arrived, but the man left..."

Hearing this, Wei Yunzhu touched the pipa subconsciously, as if seeing that stunningly talented girl again.

Tears in the corner of her eyes flowed unconsciously: "That's why you killed that man."

Pei Ji turned around slowly and nodded.

"After... what about later?"

Wei Yunzhu quietly looked into Pei Ji's eyes in the darkness.

"Later?" Pei Ji paused.

Later, on that snowy night, he braved the frightening wind and entered the man's room.

With a rusty machete in his hand, under his frightened eyes, he stabbed straight at the heart, and blood spattered.

Knife after knife, he was like the messenger of hell, without any mercy, turning that man into a puddle of mud!
Pei Ji, who was only 15 years old, killed his own father.

What a shocking thing, people who witnessed this place back then said that he was a cold-blooded poisonous snake and a complete lunatic!

"Later, the humble official was forced into the government and became a criminal who was waiting to be assigned. After escaping from the distribution, he was sold to the Colosseum and became a slave. What happened next? I know." He replied flatly.

In fact, there are many, many things to come later, but the little princess doesn't need to know that much anymore, if she continues to talk, her eyes will go blind from crying.

Pei Ji took a step forward, looked at the teary-eyed girl, and gently squeezed her cold hand into his palm: "It's all over, why are you crying?"

Wei Yunzhu just felt that she couldn't stop her tears no matter what, and wanted to ask something, but she couldn't cry.

Seeing it in his eyes, the man stretched his arms slightly, and gently embraced the girl into his arms.

Wei Yunzhu wept and leaned against the man's chest, only feeling that there was something huge pressing on the chest, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

"Okay, if the princess cries again, this minister will really feel bad. It's not worth crying for such a lowly person like this minister."

Wei Yunzhu subconsciously shook her head, but in her heart, he was never humble.

The man stretched out his hand and patted the girl's back, looking down at her hair: "In the heart of the princess, the humble minister must be very bad."

While sobbing, Wei Yunzhu didn't understand what he said, so he raised his buried head and looked at him.

"Weichen's mother is a bitter person. She obviously suffered a lot, but she always told Weichen, 'Ji'er, you must be kind, and you should have a clear conscience'. So Wei Chen has made up his mind long ago, he must not be a kind person."

After speaking, he stretched out his hands to hold the girl's petite cheeks covered with tears: "Let me play the pipa for the princess."

The girl finally stopped crying and nodded seriously.

The song "Lingding Ballad" played by Pei Ji is beautiful and sad, just like the duckweed in the troubled times, drifting helplessly, and finally disappears.

"In the past, Weichen felt that he was a rootless duckweed. He never cared about anything and had no scruples. But now it's different. With a princess, Weichen has a home..."

Family?
In Wei Yunzhu's heart, her home is in the palace, where there is a sister.But Pei Ji obviously only regards himself as a plaything, but why does he say that?

"The princess knows what the reason for this humble minister was, he risked his life to escape from exile, and he wanted to climb to his current position by any means?"

Want to avenge your shame?Or for money, power?
Wei Yunzhu thought for a moment, but still shook his head.

Pei Ji put down the pipa, and the corner of his mouth curved tenderly: "It's because of the princess."

Wei Yunzhu frowned subconsciously, what are these words?

The first time I saw Pei Ji, he was already a high-ranking chief assistant, so how could it be for me.

And she never remembered that she had any intersection with Pei Ji in the past, it was nothing more than a chance meeting at a court banquet, and the alienated return gift when they passed by. She didn't even understand why he stubbornly wanted to get her.

Pei Ji looked at the girl's puzzled appearance with a clear expression.

Back then, after he killed that person, he was beaten to death, and he was exhausted when he tried his best to escape, but at that time the princess appeared and she saved himself.

With a glimpse, this made him what he is today.

He understood that the princess would not remember those things, because the kind-hearted little princess had rescued countless people, and he was just the most inconspicuous one among them.

What is worth remembering?

But he doesn't care, as long as he remembers.

"Wei Chen will take the princess to another place." He tightly held the girl's hand, and squeezed it gently.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Huaiyuan Square, where there are large and small slave arenas, and the nearby West Market is the largest slave trading place in Chang'an City.

This is Wei Yunzhu's first visit. She heard that Pei Ji bought the largest slave arena here.

Today's Colosseum is extremely quiet. In fact, Pei Ji cleared the arena. It is bloody, cruel, and worldly. He was afraid of scaring the delicate little princess.

"Weichen has been here for three years."

The Slave Colosseum has always been a place for the dignitaries of Chang'an to have fun. The slaves here will be numbered and fighting games will be arranged.

The object of fighting is sometimes a person, but it may also be a beast. In short, death is common here.

The rich and powerful will bet on the number and make a gamble. Often the bloodier the game, the more excited they will be, thus betting more money.

He spent everything just to survive.

Wei Yunzhu actually didn't understand this place, but she also secretly learned about her curiosity-seeking psychology when she grew up, but it was only superficial.

"I heard from Ah Rong that it is very difficult to survive here."

Ah Rong is the little eunuch of Yun'an Palace. Because he often goes shopping with his aunt, and he is especially good at talking, he will tell Wei Yunzhu a lot about things outside the palace.

"Yes, but thinking about it this way, Wei Chen is quite lucky. Not only did he survive, but he also lived a better life than those people."

Pei Jiyun talked and laughed calmly, as if the past had become a thing of the past.

A servant brought a baby from nowhere, Pei Ji took it skillfully, and the baby was surprisingly well-behaved, neither crying nor fussing.

Wei Yunzhu asked curiously, "Whose child is this?"

"Slaves of the Colosseum."

That being said, this child is also a poor person, and Wei Yunzhu subconsciously teased the little baby.

She put her fingers lightly on his chubby little face, and teased him with babbling, the little dumpling seemed to feel it, and immediately smiled at Wei Yunzhu.

"He likes the princess very much, why don't the princess hug him too?"

Wei Yunzhu nodded, and carefully took Xiaotuanzi. In fact, she has always liked children in her heart.
