Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 22 The Little Liar

"I want to understand. I will not be nice to others in the future. I will only be nice to you. I will only give you the nectar I made. I only like you, a little gray cat. Don't be angry, okay?"

Clutching Yue Wujiu's neck tightly with both hands, Shi Xuanling burst into tears of aggrievedness, as if he was afraid that he would run away if he let go, Yue Wujiu's eyes were red, and his throat was hoarse from the pain:
"Xuan Ling, stop talking, you must hold on, I am not angry anymore, I am not angry at anything, as long as you are well..."

He ran out of the courtyard, and the night wind was coming towards him, but his legs suddenly became weak for some reason, and he fell to his knees again.

"Xuan Ling, are you okay? Did you fall somewhere? Does it hurt?"

The boy hugged the girl in his arms tightly, his eyes became more and more red, but the girl raised her head, still asking: "My lord, are you really not angry with me?"

Yue Wujiu's throat was choked up, he couldn't speak for a moment, he just nodded his head desperately and burst into tears.

His father had passed away, his mother had been imprisoned, and his relatives had been tragically destroyed. He was alone in this world, walking alone, and finally had her beside him.

They were a young couple, they lived and died together, shared adversity, and he had another home in this desolate world, if, if she was gone...

He was afraid that his mind would really collapse, he would go completely crazy, and he would become a demon from then on!

"Little Bell, don't worry about it, don't leave me behind, please..."

He yelled that "little bell" again, and cried in the night wind very sadly, until he wiped away his tears with one hand, the girl was a little flustered, holding his face and saying repeatedly:

"My son, my son, don't cry, I'm fine, I know what's wrong with me, you don't need to go to Zhizhi..."

He opened his blood-red eyes and looked at the girl in astonishment, but she bit her lip, and suddenly leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Actually, I should actually come to Guishui. This is my first time. Come on, my mother passed away early and didn't teach me, but I'm a medical student, so I can guess it after thinking about it..."

Originally, Shi Xuanling didn't want to deceive the innocent, but saw that he mistakenly thought that she was injured, so she took advantage of the situation and pretended to be a pitiful person who was about to die, so as to ask for forgiveness and tell him not to be angry.

But she didn't expect him to cry like this, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be mad. She was afraid that he would make a mistake and go mad, so she hurriedly told the truth.

For a moment, Yue Wujiu froze under the moon, the tears on his face were still wet, looking at the girl in his arms, he didn't know what expression to make.

He really wanted to throw her on the ground, but he couldn't bear it, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Shi Xuanling, you liar, how can you make fun of such a thing!"

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the young man was short of breath, many emotions rushed into his heart, and he had nowhere to release it, before the girl in his arms could speak again, he suddenly moved to her slender neck and bit her hard——

Shi Xuanling gasped in pain, her eyes widened suddenly, but she couldn't resist pushing the boy's head away. After an unknown amount of time, he let go of her.

A trace of blood wafted into the wind, and he actually bit a blood mark on her neck. The wind was rustling all around, and he pressed her forehead against her forehead, panting in a low voice, like a small beast full of anger in the mountains and forests.

"This is the mark I left for you. You are not allowed to lie to me again, and you are not allowed to lie to me again in this life, do you hear me?"

-

In Yuncheng, in Qinglin Garden, there is a quietness surrounded by warm smoke.

Among the curtains flying, the person lying on the bed is Zhong Lisheng who is bored and recovering from his injuries.

After he had been lying down for so long, Mrs. Wan still never came to see him. He waited and waited every day, feeling unspeakably lost in his heart, but he always comforted himself. At least when he was in danger, his mother still rushed to him. I went to save him, and I didn't even care about the strange poison on my body.

This already proves that his mother... loves him, right?

The young man spent every day in such repeated guesses and self-questions and answers. It was boring to be alone. The black iron folding fan in his hand could play tricks for him. The maids of Qinglin Garden followed suit. Like a mute, saying one more sentence seems to make a piece of meat fall off.

The bored little shark, inexplicably, misses the girl who always bickers with him.

There seemed to be another burst of crisp bells in his ears, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stretched out his hand to touch his bosom——

Hey, in the carriage that day, the few candies that Shi Xuanling gave him are still there!
He fought so fiercely with the Chinuren at that time, it was a surprise that none of the candies fell, God really treated him kindly.

When Zhongli Sheng smiled, he peeled off a candy and put it in his mouth, feeling the sweet taste from his childhood memory.

Although his mother didn't come to see him, but with his mother's familiar smell accompanying him, the wound on his body seemed... not so painful.

With his eyes closed, the boy ate one after another, and the scene when his mother held him in his arms and sang softly to coax him in his mind when he was a child, before he knew it, there was only the last candy left in his arms. up.

This time, the boy's hand stopped there, hesitating a little.

He licked the honey remaining at the corner of his lips, and he was reluctant to eat it. After all, there was only this one left, and it would be gone after eating it. If he wanted to eat it again, he had to wait until he left Yuncheng and went to the Lanxin courtyard I asked Shi Xuanling to ask for it.

"Stupid donkey, I'll come back to find you tomorrow, this time I'll have to ask for a hundred and eighty pieces, put them in a sugar jar, and eat them leisurely."

Speaking of which, he did have to go to Lanxin Small Hospital, and when Shi Xuanling's injury recovered, he had to take her to Yuncheng to treat his mother's illness and detoxify.

I don't know what happened to the stupid woman's injury, but her sturdy body can't be poisoned by sea centipedes, so it should be fine this time, and she can still quarrel with him vigorously in the future, right?
While thinking chaotically in his mind, the young man took a deep breath, suppressed the glutton in his stomach, closed his eyes tightly, and put the only remaining candy back into his bosom, carefully protecting it with one hand. , as if afraid that the sugar in my arms would disappear.

"Wait, stupid woman, I'll come back to find you right away!"

Turning the black iron folding fan, it was thrown high into the air, and then fell steadily, covering the handsome and clear face of the young man.

He played with the folding fan with a smile on his face, but he didn't know that there would be no more one hundred and eighty pieces, and the candy made by Shi Xuanling himself would never be given to him again.

What is hidden in his arms now is the last one in this life.

*
In the imperial city thousands of miles away, at midnight, everything was silent, but at this moment, there was a place brightly lit, and there were bursts of screams from prisoners——

"Pei Shouzun, I recruited, I really recruited all of them, there is absolutely no lie..."

The bloody criminal was tied to the rack and begged for mercy repeatedly, but the man sitting in front of him didn't respond, he just wiped his long whip leisurely.

Under the reflection of the candlelight in the cell, that face was half-bright and half-dark, exuding a majestic aura, but the facial features were extremely handsome, like a jade-faced Hell walking out of the secluded mansion——

This is Dongmu's number one cruel official, the head of Zhenfusi, Pei Shixi.

He sat in front of the tortured prisoner, listened to his begging for mercy, did not lift his head, just wiped the long whip in his hand, and said with a slow smile: "Do you have all the tricks? Don't ask me, just ask them." knew."

"no no!"

As soon as he heard the word "they", the prisoner immediately turned pale with fright, and even his trouser legs were soaked.

Pei Shixi is fond of raising wolves, and a group of vicious wolves have been kept in the township department, and they are usually fed with human flesh. It is said that they once bit a prisoner to death. Toothed beast.

Those who have entered the prison of Zhenfusi have seen Pei Shixi's methods, and there are few who can resist to the end.

Heart-piercing screams were heard in the cell, but Pei Shixi walked out without paying attention, threw the long whip to Wu Jinwei beside him, and after a few more instructions, he sat outside and waited. The carriage left the prison.

The place he went to was an old house on the outskirts of the city. It looked ordinary from the outside, but when you walked in, it was full of flowers and pavilions, every step and every scene.

An old man in white was standing on the corridor, holding a simple and elegant teacup, obviously waiting for him for a long time.

"Xi'er, how is the trial going?"

When he opened his mouth, the old man's voice was a little shrill, even with a hint of femininity.

Pei Shixi stood next to him, looking at the cold moon in the sky, and replied with full intimacy and respect in his tone: "Back to Ah Weng, everything is fine, and the case should be completely closed by the end of the month."

This old man was Eunuch Pei who had served the late emperor all his life, he was very powerful, and he was also Pei Shixi's adoptive father.

As the adopted son of an eunuch, he was able to climb up to a high position step by step, and finally sat on the position of the head of the Zhen Fusi. It has to be said that Pei Shixi has some iron and blood wrists on his body.

And the case he is trying this time is still the big treason case of the Yue family, but he is arresting party members related to this case. This is naturally a good opportunity to eradicate dissidents. How could Pei Shixi miss it?
Therefore, during this period of time, the government and the public were in turmoil, and all the officials were in fear, lest they be included in Pei Shixi's roster and asked him to be arrested and sent to the Zhenfu Division.

"By the way, aren't you going to Yunzhou Island for business next month?" On the corridor, Eunuch Pei suddenly asked.

Hearing the words "Yunzhou Island", Pei Shixi's long eyelashes trembled, and his heart tightened. Eunuch Pei also sighed: "That place, that place... In a blink of an eye, it's been so many years."

The inexplicable words made Pei Shixi feel ups and downs. He took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, I'm going to Yunzhou Island to escort an important prisoner of Chinu back to the imperial city, about the middle of next month. leave."

"Okay." Eunuch Pei also suppressed all emotions, turned his head to look at Pei Shixi, changed the topic, and said in a soft voice: "After you arrive on the island, go to find out the reality of that child from the Yue family. If he If you know the inside story, you... abolish him."

It is too obvious to kill people and silence them, not to mention Yue Wugui's identity, even if he wants to die, he must not die hastily on that island.

So Eunuch Pei only said the word "waste". A cripple can't mess around anymore, so Pei Shixi immediately understood. After he nodded, he asked under the moon with a half-smile:

"What if he doesn't know anything?"

"Then you can figure it out, don't ask me, Ah Weng believes that you can do it properly."

"Yes, Aon."

Eunuch Pei patted Yizi on the shoulder, and the conversation ended. The old man entered the house, leaving only "Yan Luo with jade face" standing quietly under the eaves, not moving for a long time.

"Young Master Yue, let's say goodbye to the execution ground. I didn't expect to meet again so soon. I'm really curious. What answer will you give me?"

　The prince gritted his teeth: You liar!
　　The female goose has a guilty conscience: what should I do, I have cheated too much, what will happen in the future?
