Chapter 57

"The king of Yue really mutinied, I will not run away anymore, I will die with my family."

"Pei Ji, you said that you like me, but liking someone is not forced. You said that you want to repay my life-saving grace, so it shouldn't be like this, do you understand?"

"If you are sincere, then grant my wish, okay?"

With Wei Yunzhu's back against the dark sky, the wind picked up, and the lake water was unusually turbulent, as if some frightening beast was about to break through the water at the bottom of the lake.

She tightly pinched the hem of her skirt, and her whole body was shaking violently. Yes, she was terrified. From what she said just now, she was afraid that Pei Ji would really kill herself.

Thoroughly offending him will lead to violent waves every time. She knows him, but she doesn't. The only thing she can be sure of is that he can do any crazy things that shock the world and shock people.

Sure enough, Pei Ji's face was gloomy and terrifying, and the fierce look in his eyes was even more chilling than the temperature of the lake in Seoul behind him. In the darkness, the light in his eyes was difficult to distinguish, as if he was a wolf about to smash his prey to the bones.

Just when Wei Yunzhu really thought that he would rush over, grab her neck, strangle the most fragile bones and blood vessels in her throat, and show no mercy.

But he chuckled lightly, the corners of his mouth curved a little strangely.

Wei Yunzhu subconsciously closed her eyes, and her legs became weak unbearably.

But what was waiting was Pei Ji's laughter. Strangely, this laughter was not scary, it was even very pleasant.

Along with the sound of footsteps, the laughter stopped very close to the girl, but there was no further movement.

Wei Yunzhu didn't dare to open his eyes, he was afraid that behind this melodious laughter was a cold, bloodthirsty, savage face.

"Princess, I don't quite understand what you just said."

Sure enough, it was too hard, so I started to pretend to be stupid.

"Pei Ji, you heard me clearly, my only wish now is to spend this life in a normal way...forget Pei Ji."

The girl backed away subconsciously, her voice full of desperate determination.

"You...don't come here!"

Pei Ji lowered her brows, took a look at the girl's feet on the edge of the lake, and stopped immediately.

The voice also softened: "Princess, stop joking with Wei Chen, Wei Chen will also be sad and hurt."

He put his hands on his chest that was still bleeding, and suddenly exerted force. If he could, he would take out his heart and let her see it.

Wei Yunzhu is determined, this is her only chance.

"Pei Ji, don't force me anymore..."

Seeing the resistance in the girl's eyes, Pei Ji's hand covering his chest quietly dropped, and he felt like an abandoned stray dog.

The two were deadlocked for a long time...

"Zhuzhu", came a man's sighing voice, the tone contained resignation and unwillingness: "As you wish."

Wei Yunzhu raised his eyes subconsciously, a little in disbelief.

He brushed aside the girl's wind-blown hair with his fingers, and his voice was neither salty nor weak, neither soft nor heavy: "As long as it is what the Princess wants, I will be satisfied."

"Actually, what the princess wants, why doesn't this minister not want it?"

His eyes were full of despair, such a faint light seemed to disappear in the next second, and the whole person fell into hell, never to be reborn.

"In the past, the princess was always the most stingy. She was so stingy that she would never see the humble minister. Yushufang, you praised my paintings for their aura."

"Later, I spent several days and nights drawing a portrait for you, just to present it on your birthday. At that time, I knelt down and presented the painting, just to get your praise again. I don't want much, just that you can Smiled at me, but I didn't expect that you casually threw the unopened picture scroll in the corner, but smiled at Gu Yanyi who was preparing the fireworks for you."

"On that day, I tore that painting to pieces and swore I would never love you again. There are many beautiful women in the world, so why should I make things difficult for myself?"

"As a result, when I went to court the next day, I ran into you again in front of the gate of the Xingqing Palace. You obviously only called me Mr. Chief Assistant in a distant manner, but I still stared at your back in a daze, with a cold smile In an instant, I was deeply immersed in it, completely forgetting the shame of yesterday."

He raised his eyes, a mocking smile curled up on the corner of his lips, hating himself for being worthless.

"Until the day you are going to marry Gu Yanyi, I'm so jealous that I'm going crazy. I'm so jealous that I want to rush over and kill Gu Yanyi immediately, and then destroy you."

He is like a dirty mouse, he can only hide in a cold and damp corner, peeking at the face kissed by the sun, but Gu Yanyi is so reckless, talking and laughing with her wantonly, wantonly possessing his beloved girl.

"You smile at him, but never at me..."

"I don't understand either, why should it be the princess, why should it be Wei Yunzhu, why should you be the only one?"

He wished he could dedicate his heart to the princess, but why did the princess only hate him?
From Taiji Palace to Yun'an Palace, no one is more familiar with this road than him. One hundred and sixty-two crabapple plants, five palace lanterns at 240, one stone pillar at 320, and nine steps at 490. Every step is the distance between him and his sweetheart.

All his life, he just wanted to bridge that distance.

But it's too difficult...

Hearing the loneliness and questioning in his words, Wei Yunzhu sighed quietly, with a soft tone: "Pei Ji, I understand your feelings for me these years, but there has never been a smooth sailing thing in the world. Emotional matters are not hard work. It's fine, there is no fate between you and me, so why force it?"

"Isn't it better to let each other go?"

Pei Ji's eyes seemed to flash across the turbulent waves, which were dark clouds that could not be dispelled by anything, and his tone was indifferent and ruthless: "I don't believe in fate, let alone fate, I only believe in the sword in my hand."

"If the Princess believes in fate, then I will kill the person who is destined for the Princess. If the Princess believes in one, I will kill one."

Wei Yunzhu frowned, shaking her head subconsciously, all her earnest persuasion just now was in vain, trying to reason with a lunatic, she was completely wrong from the beginning.

When he was about to despair, the man came with a half-smile tone: "I have never learned to reject the princess, so... let's go, princess."

Walk?What a surprise.

When he was about to drown, a life-saving straw was suddenly thrown down, and Wei Yunzhu, who wanted to grab it firmly, raised his expectant eyes.

"From here, the princess just needs to walk ten steps forward without looking back, and the minister will disappear in the princess's world forever." He explained lightly, as if carelessly.

Wei Yunzhu was a little unbelievable, but when he met the man's eyes, he was surprisingly firm.

"Ten steps, ten steps agreed, you can't go back on your word, you can't drag me, and you can't pull me back..." She bargained hard to eliminate the slightest possibility of being blocked.

Pei Ji smiled lightly and nodded: "I will never lie to the princess."

"Okay, let's talk about it, you can't play tricks in any way."

After saying that, the girl immediately turned around and stepped forward without any hesitation. She took the first step tremblingly, afraid that the people behind her would repent, and even more afraid that he would rush up and use tricks.

The second step was a lot easier. There was no movement behind me, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

Three steps, four steps...six steps, thinking that freedom is ahead, she subconsciously speeds up, very fast, everything will be restored soon...
