atypical prostitute

Chapter 259

When he got the news that Liu Erlang was demoted because he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, Li Ci was very calm.

The great victory in Gaochang made those loyal ministers and good ministers who were worried about the fall of the imperial power have the idea of ​​driving away the wolves. They couldn't wait to ask the queen mother to make the Ye family a different surname as king, hoping to make the king of Wei and the Ye family break up and kill each other.

This is a ruthless game of chess, and the player is King Liang. He is sure that Pei Linger dare not say no under the tremendous pressure from the courtiers!But he is a man after all, he has forgotten that Pei Linger is a woman, she has the narrow-mindedness and reluctance that all women will have, even if she is forced to succumb to the situation, she will not forget to do some small actions to prove that she is the queen mother and still has the right The absolute influence of the imperial court.

The so-called favoring concubines and destroying wives is just an excuse, because of the relationship with the Ye family, the Liu family has always been on the first page of Pei Linger's hatred list, Pei Linger is powerless to prevent the Ye family from being crowned king with a different surname, so she can only vent her unhappiness by belittling the Liu family !

But even such frenzied venting is futile, just like the fact that the Ye family's different surnames cannot be prevented from becoming king, all of Pei Linger's struggles are futile.

Putting the secret letter beside the candlelight, seeing the jumping flame greedily licking the peach blossom paper, Li Ci let out a long sigh.

"This is just the beginning," she said, "but I've already given up the chance. I'm in a big gamble where the only options are to gain everything or lose everything."

"Or you can choose to let go."

The soft voice sounded behind her, because she smelled the familiar scent of the visitor, a faint sweet scent, an elegant and gentle breath.

The visitor is Bai Yinmei.

But until three months ago, what he liked the most was Aoki's fortitude, the sudden change of the fragrance in his sleeves, like a corpse buried deep in the garden, always made people uneasy.

Using a hairpin to push the half-burned peach blossom paper into the fire, she turned around and said to Bai Yinmei: "You are wrong, I can't turn back. When I list the Queen Mother as the one who must be killed, I am doomed to be unable to turn back. I have lost too much and paid too much. If I am afraid to retreat just because I am worried that I will lose more if I go forward, then all the sacrifices before are... really all in vain ! This is a war, a war that cannot be stopped once it starts..."

"...does he know?"

Bai Yinmei asked with concern, his voice became softer and even weaker.

Is this sheep-like soft person really the murderer of 27 murders?
Li Ci was a little dazed, she looked around, ordered the servants to step back for now, and then said to Bai Yinmei: "He knows everything, and he thinks we should really do this."

"Worrying about the master's high skills, in the end, people will be the sword and I will be the fish? So you decide to strike first?" Bai Yinmei asked.

Li Ci nodded: "I never think that 'the emperor must die if the minister wants to die' is correct. Of course, I like the saying that the scholar should die for the confidant. But the Young Emperor and the Empress Dowager... are by no means worthy of our husband and wife's entrusted life. Lord! Even if it's just to avenge Yun'er, I won't let them go!"

"...If it wasn't for Si Niangzi's disapproval, I would have broken into the imperial city and beheaded her long ago."

"Assassination is unlikely to change the political situation."

Li Ci warned, but Bai Yinmei didn't take it seriously, and was about to say something to refute, when he suddenly saw an official document leaked from the desk, with the word "Shanzhuang" vaguely written on it, so he moved while smiling, and walked to the desk, without moving. Push the dangerous letter back to the crumbling hill of official documents.

"I took the problem too simply." He apologized earnestly.

However, Li Ci, who had seen his little tricks a long time ago, did not intend to let him get away with it. She walked to him pretending to be careless, took out the official document of the Qianrui Villa murder case that had been marked earlier in the morning, and while looking through it, she spoke to Bai Yinmei. Said: "A Mei, Dan Xing said that your whereabouts are secretive recently, it seems that you are very busy, don't get involved in any dangerous things."

"I have my own measure. But you, how can you stay up late when you are still seriously ill?"

Perfunctory, Bai Yinmei snatched the official document from Li Ci's hand, stuffed it back casually, and explained: "It doesn't matter when you read the official document. If you faint again because of staying up late, I...would be worried."

"But you go out at night every day, but you don't tell me why, I'm even more worried."

Distrust was evident in her eyes.

Bai Yinmei couldn't help being anxious, and hurriedly said: "I have always done things properly, let alone what happened, and Jun Fengxi will help me."

But the more gentle he was, the more bewildered Li Ci felt.

His face made her feel strange, and everything in front of her eyes also rotated accordingly, she staggered precariously, her soul... seemed... drifting away again... about to leave her body again...

"……I……"

She backed away uneasily, and when she was about to fall, she fell into Bai Yinmei's arms.

"...Si Niangzi... Are you...Damn it again! I knew Chu Qing, that bastard—"

He asked with concern, and was about to ring the bell to change people, but when he held the bell, he heard cries like mosquitoes in his ears.

"...You killed all the people in Qianrui Villa, right?"

He was shocked.

Li Ci had already sat up, she smiled and looked at Bai Yinmei who was suddenly embarrassed because of these words.

There were tears in the eyes, and even more disappointment.

Because of her gaze, Bai Yinmei lowered his head in shame. He has been in a deep conflict all this time. He knows his fate. her grief.But from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to see contempt and disdain in her eyes!
She is the only thing he can't lose when he has nothing!
Until now, he felt relieved to be stripped of all hypocrisy by the only person he could not lose and exposed naked to the light.

"Yes, I killed it!"

He puffed out his chest, proudly admitting.

"...why kill them?"

"Because they're damned!"

He said without thinking, but even though he tried his best to make a gesture of indifference, he was still a child eager to be loved, his eyes were full of anxiety and fear, looking at him, Li Ci's body and mind were surrounded by guilt .

It seems that... did something very excessive... generally...

"...I'm sorry...I...how can I doubt you, you are the most innocent and kind-hearted person in the world, those people must be damned! It must be like this!"

She said loudly, only in this way can she convince herself that the person in front of her is innocent.

But in the end, she couldn't speak anymore.

"...Last night, the Black Riders dispatched and killed more than 300 people... They all came to seek revenge on you... They told me that you killed many, many people, that you are a heinous devil...but I don't Listen, I let the black knight kill them, because I believe in you, no matter what happens, I will believe in you. But you...you..."

The cruelest part was exposed to the light, and Bai Yinmei finally cried.

He held her hand and cried: "...don't say any more, it's all my fault...it's me...I...I made your hands dirty, I...is a lunatic...always Crazy, only pretending to be a pure murderer in front of you... Do you think I'm disgusting..."

Under the candlelight, Li Ci stretched out her hand, and her fingertips landed on the corner of his eyes, and then the pearl slipped out, with long tear stains, sliding across her cool nails.

"...you...how could you be disgusted?" She choked up and said, "I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."

"But... your liking for me is not what I want."

He murmured, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

Looking at his absent-minded eyes, Li Ci's heart grew colder and colder.

"Tell me, who is forcing you... Tell me, who is he?!"

"I killed those people because I wanted to kill them! No one forced me, I did everything willingly...I like you so much, I don't dare to tell you how I like you...How could I be willing to lie to you?"

He said softly, because he found that Li Ci's body was getting colder, he hurriedly took out a pill from his arms: "Take this medicine quickly!"

"...I won't take the medicine you gave me before you tell me the reason for killing me!"

Although she was in a trance, she still firmly pushed away. She could say "no matter what happens, I trust you" to Bai Yinmei, but she also wanted to know the truth.

So she saw the tears, which were the tears of a small animal abandoned by its mother. He looked at her tearfully, and begged: "...take the medicine, as long as you are willing to take the medicine, I will tell you everything ..."

"really?"

"real."

He smiled sadly, picked up the pill, and handed it to her palm.

"Take it, Jun Fengxi said that as long as you take this last medicine, you will be all right."

He spoke softly, his usual soft face became more and more gentle like water.

But Li Ci, who was holding the pill, suddenly thought, did he use the same tenderness to tell the more than 300 people he killed that death is not terrible at all, and the pain will end soon?

She doesn't mind killing people. Today, no one has a blood debt in their hands, but she hates being cheated.

So she put the pill down again.

"Why do you have to wait until after I eat it? You can tell me now." She whispered, and Bai Yinmei's eyes suddenly had tears again.

"Okay, let me tell you why." He said softly, with a soft tone: "This time... no one instructed me, I love you, but love can't cancel out the hatred in my heart! I hate everything Xieren! So I keep killing people, because I like to kill, I like to kill the most innocent and kind people in the eyes of the world, only in this way, I will be happy!"

"Really? You're disgusting!"

Bai Yinmei nodded: "I admit it."

He admitted so frankly that Li Ci suddenly felt dizzy, and she said weakly: "...Actually, I was also at fault, I knew you killed so many people, but I still waited for you to give me an explanation... I'm...so...too...stupid..."

She laughed at herself, her consciousness became weaker and weaker, and she was about to float out of her body, but at the moment of loss of consciousness, she was caught by Bai Yinmei.

"...I've killed so many people, if I can't take your life back, it's really... not worth it..." He murmured, the pill slipped into his throat, entered the esophagus and turned into a viscous The liquid moistened the internal organs, and Li Ci looked at him inexplicably, looking at his gradually blood-red eyes, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and all doubts were explained.

"...you...I...actually don't mind you killing innocent people..."

She spoke with difficulty, grabbed his hand, and condensed all her sobriety to resist the drowsiness caused by the medicine, because she knew that if she didn't say these words now, she would never have the chance to say them again!

"...Amei...I was angry just now...it was definitely not because you killed innocent people...I was just...just worried that you would be blackmailed...I was afraid that you would be in danger...I..."

However, the final confession was not completed in the end, sweet fragrance came, and she fell down powerlessly.

"I swear, you'll get better soon." Bai Yinmei said softly, breaking away her hand that was clenched tightly on her sleeve.
