Chapter 37：

His eyes were too hot, Tao Ti didn't know what was going on, and there was a moment of emptiness in his heart.

She pursed her lips and turned her gaze away stiffly, "I want to go out to play, it's boring to stay in the palace all day long. And I have been in Chang'an since I was born and have never been anywhere else. I heard that Luoyang is prosperous. Second only to Chang'an, I also want to see the outside world..."

Pei Yan squinted his black eyes, and the ending sound was a bit long, "Is that so?"

"Hmm." Tao Ti nodded hurriedly, and added, "Besides, there is another reason."

Pei Yan couldn't help holding his breath and looked straight at her.

Speaking of another reason, Tao Ti is very confident. He meets Pei Yan's gaze with bright eyes, "I want to take this opportunity to take a good look outside and learn about the local customs."

Pei Yan, "..."

Slowly, he raised his eyebrows, amused, "Inspect local customs? You still want to be an official."

Tao Ti said, "I want to open a dim sum shop."

Pei Yan, "...?"

Tao Ti said, "The initial plan is to open a dim sum shop. If it can be opened smoothly and the income is good, it may open more tea houses and restaurants in the future... Fukai Chain..."

Pei Yan tried to find some jokes on her face, but to no avail.

She talked about her arrangements and plans with enthusiasm, and her expression was flying with her eyes.

Her eyes were so eager and yearning, like a baby bird that just broke out of its shell, with yearning for the vast sky.

Pei Yan turned sideways slightly, her slender eyelashes hanging down, covering the dark and possessiveness of his eyes.

The future in her mouth is bright and beautiful.

However, there is no such thing as him.

To her, this marriage is like a cage that imprisons her?

But how could he let her go? Whether it is cruel or selfish, as long as he wants it, he will get it by all means.

Even if...break her wings and imprison her with your own hands.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

A soft and melodious voice rang beside him, and Pei Yan regained his senses.

Lifting his eyes again, the gloomy coldness in his eyes was completely gone, still the usual gentle and jade appearance, and he smiled lightly, "Huh?"

Tao Ti folded his hands together, blinked his big eyes, and looked at him pitifully, "Please, please, your lord, you take me with you."

This soft and waxy voice begged him tenderly, and made his chest feel nauseous.

I thought she wanted to accompany him, so she ran to beg for his father.

In fact, she is looking forward to going to Luoyang so as to make plans for the days after her departure...

The corners of Pei Yan's mouth were straightened. Suddenly, he raised his hand to pinch her soft little face, and said solemnly, "Stop talking."

With her coquettish appearance, he really made him want to push her to the bed and bully her so hard that she would be better and calmer.

He, he pinched her face?

Tao Ti was dumbfounded, "..."

Pei Yan also came back to his senses suddenly, realizing that he was gaffe at that moment, his fingers quickly brushed her cheek, coughed lightly, and whispered, "There is something on your face."

Tao Ti, "...is it?"

She even ignorantly reached out and wiped her face, as if there was nothing dirty?

Pei Yan turned off the subject and stared at her, "Do you really want to go?"

Tao Ti nodded solemnly, "Hmm!"

The clear eyes are full of firmness.

Pei Yan gently turned the Bai Yu's finger on his hand, thinking for a moment, but still couldn't bear to see her disappointed, his thin lips moved slightly, "Then go."

These words seemed to light up fireworks, and the little girl's eyebrows suddenly became gorgeous, and her tone was brisk, "Really! I know your Majesty you are the best, don't worry, I will definitely not cause you trouble. of!"

Is he the best?

No, he is not a good person.

However, her cheerful little appearance is really... weird.

Pei Yan coughed lightly and turned around and said, "It's getting late, let's walk two more laps, and it's time to go back to the house and rest."

Tao Ti followed him obediently, her little mouth was not idle along the way, and she kept babbling about what food to prepare to take on the road. Pei Yan listened quietly, echoing a few sentences from time to time.

After the two of them washed and rinsed in turn, the hazy moon quietly climbed up the top, and the night became quieter.

The curtain was lowered, and the air was elegant and good-smelling benzoin.

Tao Ti and Pei Yan lay side by side. It was late at night, and both of them closed their eyes and were about to fall asleep.

Tao Ti's sleep quality has always been very good, as usual, she can almost fall asleep as soon as she touches the pillow, but tonight, when she closes her eyes, she does not consciously think of meeting Pei Changzhou in the day.

Now that he and Pei Changzhou are enemies, they are extremely jealous.

Now that he is relying on the status of the prince, he can still suppress him, but... Feng Shui takes turns, and when Pei Changzhou becomes the prince in the future, with power and status, how will he retaliate against him?

Alas, it’s still such an unfortunate identity even though it has reached such a dynasty.

If Pei Yan can be healthy and healthy, and live a long life, it would be great. With him covered, he can live in peace and stability. When his life is over, he will go to the underworld to reincarnate. But Pei Yan has only had a good life for more than a year. Hey, people take the tea to cool, and his good life is really one day less one day...

The more Tao Ti thought later, the more upset she became.

I was confused and felt something was wrong no matter how I lay. I felt itchy ears for a while, cold shoulders for a while, and pillow cushions a bit high for a while.

She thought that her small movements were very gentle, but when she adjusted the pillow position for the nth time, a low voice came from her side, "Can't sleep?"

Tao Ti's movements froze.

After a while, she whispered, "I...I didn't mean to wake you up. I won't move anymore. Go to sleep."

The voice of turning over came from his side, his voice was a little closer to her, hoarse and low, "Is it because I was going to Luoyang, I couldn't sleep?"

"Uh...no."

"Why is that?" In a serious question, with gentle care.

Perhaps his tone is too easy for people to take off guard, or perhaps people are more emotional in the middle of the night, Tao Ti decided to have a chat with him after considering it for a moment.

So she also turned over, so that the two of them became lying face to face.

The curtains were tightly covered, but there was still dim candlelight shining in through the veil, and each other could see each other's facial contours, as well as the bright eyes.

Tao Ti bit her lip, and then asked softly, "His Royal Highness, your body... is there really no way to heal it?"

Pei Yan was quiet for a moment, and obviously did not expect that she tossed and turned in the middle of the night and could not sleep because of this.

There was no affirmation and no denial, he just asked rhetorically, "Why do you suddenly ask like this."

Tao Ti only regarded him as acquiescence, her heart was a little dark and her long eyelashes were drooping, she said dullly, "This is too unfair, a good person like you, why is it so."

Is it true that good people do not live long and live for thousands of years?

She sighed faintly, and then asked, "If you...well, I mean if, if you are gone, will your majesty choose the third prince as the prince?"

In the darkness, Pei Yan frowned.

Does she still have Pei Changzhou in her heart, and want to wait for him to go to repair the old with Pei Changzhou?

This recognition made him extremely unhappy.

"Perhaps." He said coldly.

Tao Ti didn't notice this slight change in tone. Hearing what he said, he only felt that his heart became heavier, and he was extremely melancholy, "How can a person like him be a prince!"

Pei Yan, "..."

Pei Yan, "Do you think he is unworthy?"

Tao Ti hardly hesitated, "That's for sure, just like his scum of corrupt quality and extremely bad morals, Jiangshan will not be finished if it is handed over to him. If I want to say that Xiaowu is more reliable than him, Xiaowu Although he is more overbearing and spoiled, his character is not bad. As long as he teaches well, he is also an upright and kind-hearted person. The third prince can't do it. This person is already broken from the root and cannot be washed away."

Hearing her words, Pei Yan's mood was a bit complicated for a while.

She commented on Pei Changzhou in this way, showing that she and Pei Changzhou were completely broken, and he was happy.

He couldn't be happy to hear her spit on "corrupted morality" and affirmation of "righteousness and kindness".

She likes people who are upright and kind, and he is neither upright nor kind.

Even more cruel, cruel and cold-blooded than Pei Changzhou.

Pei Yan's eyes were a little darker. If one day she knew his true face, would she also dislike him and stay away from him like spitting on Pei Changzhou?

"Actually, you are a little weaker. Qin Tianjian’s words are very likely to be inaccurate. If you can take care of it, it should not be difficult to live past 23 years old." Tao Ti still said to himself, " By the way, should I teach you Ba Duan Jin from tomorrow? This is simple and easy to learn. If you keep practicing, it has the effect of strengthening the body and curing the disease. Do it every morning without losing too much time."

As long as Pei Yan survives one more day, Pei Changzhou will be able to ascend the crown prince one day later. It would be even better if it lasted five, six, seven or eight years. When Xiaowu grows up, maybe he can really compete with Pei Changzhou for the crown prince!

Pei Yan could see through her little abacus at once, both angry and funny.

He looked at her flickering eyes in the dark, he couldn't help bending a finger and tapping her forehead lightly, "Don't think so much."

Tao Ti was stunned by this intimate little gesture.

It seemed that he knocked not on the forehead, but on the door of her heart, knocking the sleeping deer awake, and then began to toss frantically.

"No matter what happens in the future, the lone will arrange everything for you." His voice was lazy, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

Tao Tine said "Yes".

The curtain fell silent again.

Tao Ti closed his eyes, and with the mess of thoughts in his mind, sleepiness gradually came up.

She had a dream. She dreamed of white paper money floating in the sky. The city of Chang'an was all plain. Wearing a white mourning dress, she knelt in front of a black coffin and cried.

In the coffin, there was a person lying quietly, handsome in appearance, pale and fragile like a carved glass, it was Pei Yan, who was under 23 years old.

She watched him lying breathlessly, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and her tears kept falling like beads with broken threads.

Suddenly, the picture turned, and Pei Changzhou, dressed in a red gold dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair, laughing wildly.

Holding a blood-stained knife in his hand, he walked towards her from the dragon chair step by step.

The fifth prince, the sixth princess, Xu Wenchan, and Mrs. Yong Weihou... They died one after another by Pei Changzhou's sword.

In the end, Pei Changzhou walked in front of her, smiling grimly, "Bitch, you go to die!"

He raised the knife high and swung it down fiercely--

"Don't, don't kill me..."

"Woo... Mom... Dad... I want to go home..."

Pei Yan, who was awakened by crying, looked at the little girl who was shrinking on his side, and couldn't help frowning.

The hand touched her forehead, it was a fine sweat.

Is it a nightmare?

He propped up his upper body slightly and patted her on the back lightly, "Ati, wake up."

The man didn't wake up, but as if grabbing the straw, he hugged his hand.

He didn't hold it all of a sudden, and he leaned toward her habitually, his eyes drooping slightly, and his eyes were her delicate and charming little face.

Tao Ti slept very restlessly, with frowning eyebrows, her blush little mouth half open and half closed, and she whimpered quietly, saying not to kill her for a while, and then saying that she wanted to go home.

A soft voice with a bit of crying.

Pei Yan was next to her soft body, his arms were still in her arms, and he could feel the undulating curve through a thin layer of bedding.

His throat moved, and his black eyes darkened a bit.

For a moment, he pressed the corners of his lips, restrained the restlessness of his body, and tried to withdraw his hand.

But Tao Ti held his hand tightly, still whispering intermittently, "Don't die, don't die..."

Pei Yan stopped moving and stared at the woman below him.

After a while, he stretched out a finger and gently drew it under her eyes, his fingertips moistened.

Is this dreaming that he is dead and crying for him?

Pei Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and she remembered her "Don't kill me", so she was so scared that she dreamed that Pei Changzhou was going to kill her?

Seeing that the sky is not afraid and the one who is not afraid... after all, she is still a little girl.

Pei Yan didn't withdraw her hand again, but lay down, adjusted her posture, and turned her into his arms.

One hand was held by her, the other was wrapped around her thin back, and she patted her without a moment, "It's okay, it's okay."

He coaxed low, his chin pressed against her soft hair, and the tip of his nose was lingering around her with the sweet daughter's fragrance, making his charming mind grow like a vine.

Gradually, the person in his arms calmed down.

Listening to her even breathing, Pei Yan dropped a soft kiss on her smooth forehead, falling like a feather on the surface of the water, and his deep eyes were thick like ink that could not be opened.

"Don't worry, you won't die alone."
