Chapter 72 Chapter 71
She stopped, and he slowly embraced her waist from behind, resting his chin on her neck.

The servant Wanglou had already bid farewell to her, and it was Wanglou who stood up again.

"Yi'er, come with me. You shouldn't spend your whole life here. You are not a puppet who wants to obey others. You should be yourself."

He breathed in her ears, like whispers between lovers, every word and every word described to her a picture that she couldn't refuse at all.

"Let's go to see the thousands of miles of snowfield in your hometown, to see the Gobi Cangshan in the northwest, to the East China Sea, to the South Forest, and I will take you to see the place where I grew up, where there are spirits that you have never tasted.

Don't stay here anymore, you don't belong here, no matter where you want to go in the future, I will be with you.

Don't stay for others, don't stay for etiquette and morality.

follow me.

I beg you.

Yier. "

Duan Wang could clearly see the struggle on Pei Yi's face. He could hardly hear Wanglou's demagogic words, but he saw that Pei Yi closed her eyes tightly and let out a long sigh.

"no no……"

His mouth was already full of blood, but as if he didn't feel the pain, he desperately bit through any soft meat in his mouth that could be bitten, trying his best to stop everything he was about to lose.

He saw Pei Yi's lips parted and said a word.

Then she went into the house and he lost sight of her.

He only saw the sarcasm hanging from the watchtower that made him extremely angry, crouching in front of him as if giving grace, and shaking his head at him.

He saw Watchtower reaching out, trying to close his eyelids.

He also saw Watchtower's other hand reach into the skirt of his clothes and draw out a dagger.

He was terrified, he was terrified, so he died here silently, on the day she was about to leave, at this moment when she would never be able to atone for her sins.

"Watchtower, let's go."

Pei Yi didn't have anything to bring, she just packed the gold and silver jewelry in the room and a change of clothes that were convenient to bring into a small package, and there was nothing to worry about.

It can be regarded as embarrassing, as a husband and wife, the palace has been in the palace for many years, but in the end, apart from Xing'er in the palace, she has nothing to miss.

Wanglou stood up calmly, and deliberately took a step forward to block Pei Yi's view of King Duan.

"he……"

She didn't ask anything in the end, because she saw the wolf tooth on the ground next to Wang Duan.

"Let's go, the night is long and the dream is full."

Watchtower stretched out his hand to her, his eyes full of hope and joy.

She didn't hold him.He just grabbed his sleeve and pulled him out the door.

She was grateful for his company and looked forward to this complete escape.But she also knew that he was expecting too much emotion, and she hadn't thought it through yet.

Duan Wang tried his best to move his numb head, trying to catch a glimpse of her back.

But the last thing he saw was the watchtower that closed the courtyard door.

He must have clearly heard the last words that the watchtower said to him:

"She's mine."

Three days later, at the bottom of the Meng Valley.

"hiss……"

Wei Huaien opened his eyes in the dark, but couldn't see anything clearly.With a splitting headache, she was about to raise her hand to confirm the injury, only to realize later that her right wrist was dislocated.

There are also swelling pains all over the body.

Where is this coming from?

She and Xiao Qi fell off the cliff. According to the scent of grass, trees and soil she smelled, it seems that the heavy rain in the past few days made the soil at the bottom of the valley moist and saved her and Xiao Qi's lives...

What about Xiao Qi?
She groped around with her nimble left hand, first she touched the broken wall of the carriage, and then she touched a big rock.The stone smashed into the carriage, throwing her and Xiao Qi aside.

After struggling around Dashi, she finally touched his shoulder.

One touch, still angry.

"Xiao Qi? Wake up, wake up."

She didn't know where he was hurt, so she didn't dare to touch his body. She could only pat his cheek lightly and whispered in his ear to wake him up.

"Wynn?"

It didn't take long for him to respond, the darkness didn't affect his vision, so he could clearly see her crying eyes.

"You're awake! Xiao Qi, where are you hurt? Can you still get up?"

"Cough cough..."

He sat up slowly supporting himself, and slowly moved all parts of his body, except that his left ankle was severely sprained when he kicked off the stone, he was in much better condition than Wei Huai'en.

After helping Wei Huai'en connect her dislocated wrist, he confirmed her injury again.

"A rib is broken, and the knee is swollen, but fortunately no bones are hurt... Does it hurt here?"

His slender fingers penetrated into her hair, bit by bit confirming where she bumped.

"Fortunately, you didn't use hairpins and phoenix hairpins at night..."

Xiao Qi carefully held Wei Huai'en in his arms, and let her lean in front of him to help her slowly disperse the swollen blood. Fortunately, she only used a hair tie to tie her hair.

"Yeah, it's also a good thing I didn't remove the upholstered brocades you arranged in the carriage because of the official's impeachment, otherwise we..."

Before she could finish her sentence, he held the back of her head and kissed her lips.

After the catastrophe, he survived the catastrophe, and they were still alive, how could he not be thankful, how could he not be grateful.

"No, otherwise, Wynn."

The brocade quilt he pulled over wrapped her up with him, the night was cold, they had to get through the night first.

"You shouldn't have jumped off with me, understand?"

Recalling the scene at that time, his words were filled with lingering accusations.

"How can you not care about yourself so much? You are obviously safe, Shifang and the others will come to protect you soon, why do you want to jump off?"

He wanted to hug her tightly in fear, but he was concerned about her injury, so he could only hold her left hand tightly, and rubbed the bruise bit by bit for her.

Wei Huaien didn't speak.

She should have argued with him about it and told him that his blaming and anger were not right at all.

How could she watch him fall off the cliff alone, how could she see him in danger and remain indifferent?
However, she was silent, accepted his blame, and accepted his disapproval.

"Feel sorry."

Xiao Qi was taken aback for a moment by her sudden resignation.He just realized that what he said to her was a little harsh, and was about to make amends, but she apologized to him?

"No, don't apologize. Wynn, I'm not blaming you. I'm just too scared. I'm afraid you will be with me...

forget it. I'm done here.Shifang and the others will probably find us soon, and I will take you up the mountain when it dawns. "

She leaned quietly in his arms, uncharacteristically just listening.

"Go to sleep, Wynn, we'll be back soon."

Wei Huaien raised his hand and touched Xiao Qi's side face, then turned his head and kissed his clean chin lightly.

Sorry, Xiao Qi.

Not to jump off with you, but because you shouldn't have been through this.

Only by being with you can I lighten my sin a little.

At the bottom of the valley, there was the sound of wind, the sound of insects, and the faint roar of beasts, but Xiao Qi stayed up all night, so he couldn't hear any search calls.

This is too strange, he doesn't believe that the well-trained guards can't deal with those Beidi people, and Shifang has a help tube on his body, even when he is unable to continue, he can set off fireworks to ask for help.

Fortunately, the sky had turned gray and blue, and he could already make out the way up the mountain.It's just that he sprained his ankle, and Wei Huai'en was injured again. I'm afraid it will make her suffer.

"Xiao Qi."

He suddenly heard her voice, sober and calm, as if she had just woken up.

"I'm here, why, aren't you asleep?"

Xiao Qi loosened his numb muscles and leaned on the rock all night, his back made a bone sound.

Wei Huai'en did not sleep. Listening to his heartbeat in the dark could make her sort out a lot of things slowly, and she felt that she could talk to him.

"Actually, I already knew about the Beidi people's ambush yesterday, and I also knew that after Li Kong in Mingzhou brought the Xuanyu Guards under his command to the Mengshan Pass, and strangled the Beidi people together with Shifang, they put Shifang and they escorted them away."

"what?"

Xiao Qi half knelt beside Wei Huai'en, looking at her in disbelief.

"You knew there was an ambush by the Beidi people, why did you do what they wanted? And Li Kong, why did he do this...could it be King Duan and Beidi?"

"Yes."

Wei Huai'en nodded, and raised his hand to straighten Xiao Qi's messy hair under the faint sky light. His cheeks were a little cold, so she put both hands on his face to help him warm up.

"Do you still remember the interception you encountered when we were in Mingzhou?
Royal father wants to cut off my most loyal party members and leave behind those who secretly obey him.I was lucky, I used Meng Keshu as a threat, and learned about your danger in advance from Li Kong, so I saved you.

But my father will treat me like this, and I will treat King Duan like this.I have always wondered what King Duan lost in the northern border. If it was just his prestige, there is no need to let him go through this. "

For some reason, Wei Huai'en looked at Xiao Qi with sadness and nostalgia in his eyes, he couldn't understand it, so he panicked for no reason.

She pressed her thumb on his lips and traced it carefully, without giving him any chance to answer.

"In the secret letter from Shangguan Luming yesterday, apart from urging me to return to the capital, there is also a secret letter from Princess Duan and the servant Wanglou.

You probably still remember the man in the watchtower, he is the hidden stake of the father in the duanwang mansion.The emperor's father urged Duan Wang to collude with the Beidi people, and through the watchtower, Duan Wangfei made a decision to break up with Duan Wang.

These are the wings that my royal father cut off from King Duan.Prince Duan is already in a dead end, and Princess Duan saved me, so I will be kind to Wei Anxing.

Xiao Qi, this return to Beijing will be my last battle. "

Xiao Qi gently held her wrist, frowned and asked puzzledly: "But since you knew, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you step into this trap? What if?"

"Feel sorry."

She leaned forward against his chest, not daring to look into his eyes.

"Because I have to follow this game of chess. If I don't come, I won't be able to catch the evidence that King Duan colluded with Bei Zhai, and I won't be able to get evidence that Li Kong and Mingzhou's forces were driven by King Duan.

Shifang, Shangguan Luming, Wanglou, and many more people who are loyal to the emperor, I don't even dare to bring Shui Jing with them, I'm afraid some of them will betray me.

But if I tell you all this, you will never allow me to take risks, but if I miss this time, my father will never be able to keep you. "

"But you obviously..." Xiao Qi patted her on the back, still puzzled.She could tell him all this, no matter what, he would try his best to keep her safe.

"You still don't understand!"

Wei Huaien suddenly raised his head and shouted at him.

"I'm such a person who can risk everything for the crown prince. I'm not afraid of death. Someone will always protect me anyway, but what about you? The only variable in my plan is you!"

Xiao Qi's expression changed.

"I thought I had already arranged everything. Li Kong would show up soon to destroy the Beidi people, and then Shifang would use the Xuanyu Division gold medal to force him to abandon the dark and turn to the bright before he attacked me. But you insist, you Don't protect me like that!
I can't be counted as an out-of-control carriage at all, and I never thought that it would cause you to fall off a cliff!

Xiao Qi, I was scared, I was scared when you were about to fall off the cliff.I can recognize this variable myself. If I die, I will be arrogant and self-important to taste the consequences.

Of course I knew it would be safe if I told you, but I thought at the time, if even you didn't know my plan, my royal father would no longer suspect my unruly intentions.With you by my side, I can't help but include you in this muddy water.

Royal father is too scary, he knows everything, he has calculated everything.I managed to get ahead of this, so I can't let you know about any changes tonight.

But when you pushed me out of the carriage, I realized how selfish I am, you will be injured, you will die, you will die this night to protect me who deliberately concealed all this!
Xiao Qi, I'm scared, this time I'm really scared.

I... I'm afraid I can't protect you. "

Wei Huai'en trembled in fear, tears poured out uncontrollably, her ribs hurt more and more, she couldn't straighten her back at all, and could only lean on the stone.

When Xiao Qi heard these words suddenly, he realized that he was just a more useful pawn in Wei Huai'en's heart.He thought, he thought they were already the closest relationship, but it turned out that in the eyes of the strategists, everything is price tag.

"But... haven't you said that you love me?"

His heart was empty, and he could barely hear his own floating voice.

"I love you very much, Xiao Qi. That's why I'm afraid, and that's why I regret it..."

Wei Huai'en endured the pain and wanted to touch his hand that was hanging on the ground, but he avoided it for the first time.

"But you still use me... right?"

She couldn't answer his question.

"But Shifang didn't come to save you, did you guess wrong? Do you not know why?"

He couldn't bear the apology in her eyes, and racked his brains to find the loopholes in her words, desperately trying to prove that she was not that kind of person.

"look."

She pointed to the mountain wall behind him, he turned his head and looked up, there were already Xuan Yuwei and guards descending with ropes along the path they rolled down to the bottom of the valley.

The two parties got together, and the evidence was overwhelming, so what else could he say to defend her.

Xiao Qi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Wei Huaien bit his lower lip and tried to touch his curled fingers.

"Xiao Qi, let's go."

 Pei Yi doesn't want to stay in the palace to be a canary, and Xiao Qi doesn't want to listen to Wei Huai'en in everything.

  Those who are human must wake up
  Thank you for the rewards and tickets~~
