Chapter 128：

The fire blazed into the sky, and the soldiers were clamoring. In this cold winter and snowy night, the shouts were loud and loud.

The gate was smashed by the army, and a large number of soldiers in silver armor attacked in.

The fire in the Tai Chi Hall was raging, and everyone in the hall was in a mess. The timid nobles and their female relatives were panicked, and their desire for survival drove them to flee.

Screams, crying, and humming have become a unique excitement on New Year's Eve.

Princess Jingyang guarded Qinghe, who was pale, and comforted, "Don't be afraid, mother is here."

After all, she has seen big scenes, and she is still calm, only frowning and staring at Emperor Zhaokang on one side, "Emperor brother, what is going on?"

Emperor Zhaokang glanced calmly at the panicked Queen Zhou, then stared at Pei Yan for a while, his face sinking like water, and coldly snorted, "What else is going on, someone doesn't want to live anymore."

The fire in the Taiji Hall became more and more fierce. Under the **** of the imperial guards, everyone hurried to the Changle Hall not far away.

Not long after the group arrived at the Changle Hall, the forbidden army that had been sent to investigate also rushed back, knelt down in front of Emperor Zhaokang, and said in a solemn voice, "Your Majesty, the three princes and general Zhang Yi led the Zuoweiwei, led by more than 6,000 people in Beicheng Camp. We have breached the Xuanwu Gate!"

Emperor Zhaokang twitched his facial muscles and sneered, "The third prince."

His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he shot directly at Empress Zhou like a knife.

Empress Zhou shook her body, her hand squeezed the dagger in the sleeve of her large robe, but her face was flustered, "How could it be Changzhou? No, no. Your majesty, the concubines don't know about it. , Maybe there is something hidden in it."

Emperor Zhaokang asked the imperial army, "What banner are they playing?"

The imperial army swallowed, and said, "On the side of Qingjun, Zhu Xiaoren."

"Who is the villain?"

"Yes... It's Master Gu Qugu, the head of the Ministry of War."

"Heh." The smile on Emperor Zhaokang's face became bigger, and he glanced at Gu Qu, who was calm and composed.

Gu Qu also noticed the gaze cast by Emperor Zhaokang, and met his gaze fearlessly, openly. After a while, he took a step forward and bowed his hands in prayer, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go forward to defend against the rebels and prove his innocence."

Before Emperor Zhaokang could speak, Empress Zhou raised her eyebrows and scolded, "You villain who once planned to assassinate His Majesty, how faceless is to falsely claim that the prince is a rebel!"

Gu Qu just pretended not to hear, and didn't move.

Seeing this, Pei Yan also took a step forward and said solemnly, "Father, the son, please order to go with the servant Gu, and the son will definitely catch Pei Changzhou back alive."

Emperor Zhaokang sat on the throne, staring at Pei Yan with a stern face, with a gloomy expression, "Yan'er, are you sure?"

Pei Yan only felt that Emperor Zhaokang's gaze was like a fire, his heart sank, but his face did not show up, he only lowered his head and said calmly, "The son will live up to his father's expectations."

After a long silence, Emperor Zhaokang raised his hand, his tone revealing a trace of imperceptible fatigue, "Then you go."

At this time, the gate was closed, and the garrison of Longxiao Camp outside the city could not come for a while. The elite force available in the palace was Su Weijun.

Pei Yan and Gu Qu rode horses and led Su Weijun to Xuanwu Gate.

Emperor Zhaokang's momentum is still very strong, he sits quietly on the chair, the cold wind is blowing, his face is tight in the darkness, as sharp as a sculpture.

When the emperor sits in town, the others dare not make noise anymore. For a while, the Changle Hall was silent, with only occasional uncontrollable weeping sounds.

Not long after, a fierce fighting sound came from far and near, and the atmosphere gradually became anxious.

There were still tears on the eyelashes of Qinghe, so he sucked his nose and asked Princess Jingyang quietly, "Mother, are the princes and brothers back?"

The princess Jingyang squeezed her hand tightly, she was not sure in her heart, she only hugged her tightly in her arms, and looked at the little grandpa Xie who was protecting them in front of them, and her heart was a little calmer.

Empress Zhou's heart is also tight, winning or losing in one fell swoop.

Under the cold moonlight, two teams of men and horses appeared one after another on the spacious square in front of the Changle Hall.

Leading them are Pei Yan and Gu Qu. They are all covered with blood, holding swords in their hands, and driving their horses to gallop.

Behind them was Pei Changzhou in silver armor, leading a team of elite cavalry, chasing after him.

At this time, Pei Changzhou was drawing his bow and preparing to shoot an arrow.

And the arrow pointed towards Pei Yan without a doubt——

It's just that his archery is not good. He shot several arrows without even hitting Pei Yan.

But he was not in a hurry. He led so many elites in Beicheng Camp, and his momentum was like a broken bamboo, enough to kill Pei Yan, Xiaosi Xiaowu, and even his father.

The people in front of the Changle Hall watched this scene of chasing and fighting, and their reactions were different.

Emperor Zhaokang squeezed the handrails of the throne, his face was as black as charcoal, and he gritted his teeth and cursed, "Evil son, evil son!"

When Queen Zhou heard the scolding, she no longer panicked, a flash of pleasure flashed on her delicate and beautiful face, staring at the arrow tightly, and shouting in anticipation:

Kill Pei Yan, kill him! It is best to kill him in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can taste the loss of his beloved son.

The officials standing by the East Palace squeezed sweat for the prince, and prayed secretly, the prince must not have anything to do.

Seeing another arrow shot by Pei Changzhou, Qinghe screamed in fright.

Fortunately, the arrow only grazed Pei Yan's arm. Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced: Fortunately, his cousin had returned to the East Palace in advance, otherwise she would have to faint in shock when she saw this scene.

Grandpa Xie narrowed his eyes, bent over and patted Qinghe's shoulder, "Qinghe, don't be afraid."

Princess Jingyang tightened her brows and whispered softly, "This situation...looks a little weird."

Xie Xiaogong said, "Mother, do you think so?"

Princess Jingyang nodded.

Before they could analyze it carefully, Gu Qu and Pei Yan in the square suddenly clamped the horse's belly, accelerated their speed, and galloped to one side.

In the next moment, only a roar of a skyrocketing cannon was heard, cutting through the sky.

When it was too late, then it was fast, and countless black-clothed archers suddenly appeared around Changle Hall.

Just like it was raining, countless sharp feather arrows shot towards the center of the square, their momentum was unstoppable.

However, with a breath of effort, the elite troops led by Pei Changzhou fell under the feathers one after another.

Even Pei Changzhou himself was shot into a hedgehog by more than a dozen feather arrows.

Pei Changzhou lowered his head in disbelief, looking at the feather arrow that pierced his body, the warm blood gurgled out.

How could it be, how could it be like this.

Where do these archers come from?

Is he going to die like this?

Extremely shocked and unwilling, his ears were the cold breaking wind of feather arrows, the cry of pain, the sound of metal clashing in hand-to-hand combat, and a heart-piercing call—

"Changzhou!! My son—"

Pei Changzhou turned his head, he saw the gorgeous and bright Changle Hall, his mother's queen was looking towards him, her face became distorted and hideous because of the great sadness.

He was a little ashamed for a moment, he lost, what should the mother do.

The mother, the son is incompetent.

He fell from the horse, and Yu Guang saw his father, aloft, solemn and majestic. He clearly saw him falling, but his eyes didn't stay on him for long, and he went to look for another figure in a panic.

Pei Changzhou fell heavily to the ground, a strong smell of blood permeating his nose and mouth.

At the last moment when he lost his focus, he followed his father's gaze--

Oh, it's Pei Yan.

In the light of the sky, Pei Yanjunmei's face was confident and calm under his control.

At this time, Pei Changzhou's head was also sober, it turned out that all this was just a round for Pei Yanbu!

It's a good trick to invite Jun into the urn and wipe out all his power.

Anger, unwillingness, and regret surged into his heart, and he couldn't ignore it.

...

Queen Zhou collapsed.

Seeing her son Wan Jian pierced through the heart in a pool of blood, the string of hope in her heart broke with a "pop".

Pain filled her heart, but at this moment, she couldn't care about tears.

The intense hatred dazzled her reason, she squeezed the dagger in her hand and rushed towards Emperor Zhaokang like crazy.

"His Majesty!!!"

"Brother Emperor!"

"uncle!"

Everyone present was shocked, and saw Queen Zhou's dagger hitting Emperor Zhaokang's throat, and the sharp blade glowed coldly in the moonlight.

Emperor Zhaokang heard Queen Zhou's rapid breathing, narrowed his black eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Queen, what are you doing?"

Princess Jingyang also scolded anxiously, "Queen, are you crazy? You quickly let go of the emperor brother."

Empress Zhou smiled gloomily, "Let go? Let go, it's okay. My son is dead, someone has to pay for his life!"

She shouted fiercely, "Pei Yan, where is Pei Yan? You want the emperor to live, so call Pei Yan!"

In this situation, everyone looked at each other and did not dare to speak out.

The rebels on the square have all been wiped out, and the steps are full of corpses, and the air is filled with a thick **** atmosphere. Even the full moon in the sky seems to be stained with blood, with a weird glow. scarlet.

In this dead silence, there was a steady sound of footsteps.

When everyone looked at it subconsciously, they saw a tall and slender figure holding a long sword and climbing up the stairs.

His robes were stained with blood, and his handsome face was also stained with blood. His black eyes were as deep as ink, and his powerful aura made people involuntarily hold their breath.

In the minds of everyone, the prince has always been a gentle gentleman who is as gentle as jade, noble and clear, and they have never seen such a prince——

The evil spirit is cold, like a bloodthirsty Shura coming out of hell.

Holding the sword, Pei Yan walked to stand behind Emperor Zhaokang and Emperor Zhou, his gaze stopped for a moment on the dagger, and then slowly met Queen Zhou's hateful eyes.

He said lightly, "The queen is looking for a lone? The lone is here."

Seeing his calm and calm appearance, Queen Zhou hated him even more, gritted her teeth and said, "You beast with a vicious mind, I want you to pay for Changzhou! Today you and your father can only live one."

Having said that, she raised a sinister smile and said to Emperor Zhaokang, "Your Majesty, you usually prefer the prince like that. Today I want to see if your beloved son will choose you or him. Own."

Emperor Zhaokang tightened his thick eyebrows, and a flickering bird of prey flashed in his eyes, "Chou, I think you don't want to live anymore."

Queen Zhou smiled, "You copied the Zhou family, Changzhou died, and forced the palace also failed. Do you think I can live, do I still want to live? Your Majesty, Huangquan Road is cold, how come my concubines have to pull you on Be a company with the prince."

She laughed, her hands shook because of the laughter, and the dagger immediately made a blood mark on Emperor Zhaokang's neck.

The eldest princess Jingyang was numb all over by Empress Zhou's smile, and exclaimed, "Be careful, don't hurt the emperor!"

"What is such a small wound? My poor Changzhou, he has so many arrows in his body, does anyone of you feel distressed?"

Empress Zhou looked mad, and after speaking, she stared at Pei Yan, "Prince, make the decision. As long as you slay yourself now, I will let your father go. Otherwise, I will take your father to die together!"

Pei Yan's thin lips lifted a curve, and he looked at Queen Zhou with a smile, "Are you going to negotiate with Gu?"

Empress Zhou's smile stagnated, vaguely feeling wrong.

Pei Yan said, "There is also a bargaining chip in the lone hand."

After that, he raised his hand.

Soon, the two soldiers pushed Pei Lingbi, who was **** with five flowers, to come forward.

Pei Lingbi was trembling all over, obviously frightened. When she saw Empress Zhou holding Emperor Zhaokang with a dagger, her eyes widened, and a muted muffled sound came from her gagged mouth.

A soldier took off the cloth from Pei Lingbi's mouth, and Pei Lingbi immediately shouted, "Queen, what are you doing? Are you crazy? How dare you hold the emperor father!"

Empress Zhou apparently forgot to have a daughter. When she saw Pei Lingbi, she was in a daze, and then cried again, "Lingbi, your emperor brother is dead."

Pei Lingbi was shocked, but there was not much sadness in his heart, but more fear, "What is going on? What is going on?!"

Isn’t it New Year’s Eve today? How could the emperor's brother die?

She was locked in the temple for a month, how could it be like this outside?

Pei Yan looked at the mother and daughter coldly, and raised his hand slightly, and the sword in his hand was placed on Pei Lingbi's neck.

Pei Lingbi froze immediately, and her cold hair stood up.

Pei Yan said in a calm tone, "Queen, you have a dead son, do you still want to die a daughter?"

This light and fluttering sentence made Pei Lingbi pale with fright, tears rolled down, and her voice hoarse because of excessive tension, "Mother, help me, I don't want to die, I don't!"

Seeing her horrified and tearful daughter, Queen Zhou felt heartache.

Even if Su Rili is partial to Pei Changzhou, her daughter is still a piece of meat from her body.

Just as her expression loosened, Pei Yanmeng raised his hand.

A hidden weapon flew over, hitting the back of Queen Zhou's hand straight.

With a sound of "clang-", the dagger was knocked to the ground.

Li Gui waited for the opportunity and took two eunuchs to step forward and control Queen Zhou.

However, in the blink of an eye, Empress Zhou was firmly crushed to the ground, the phoenix crown on her head fell to the side, and the delicate string of pearls was also broken and scattered on the floor tiles.

Pei Yan stepped forward quickly and helped Emperor Zhaokang to sit aside, "Father, you are frightened."

Emperor Zhaokang touched his neck and said, "It's okay, it's because I was temporarily unprepared that allowed this crazy woman to take advantage of it."

Queen Zhou, who was crushed on the ground, saw this scene, her face was full of mockery, and she laughed madly, "What a touching scene of father and son filial piety! Heh, Pei Yan, Pei Yan, you are really stupid, you should just now Let me kill him, and it's considered revenge for your mother! Do you think your father is a good thing? It was he who killed your mother, and you saved him! Hahahaha stupid..."

Hearing this, Pei Yan's eyes condensed, and Emperor Zhaokang's face also became cold.

Empress Zhou looked at the reaction of the father and son and burst into tears.

She put the dagger on Emperor Zhaokang's neck just now, and he always looked like Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged, but now when he mentioned Gu Yuan, he immediately changed his face.

Ridiculous, really ridiculous.

Before Pei Yan could ask, Emperor Zhaokang stepped forward and pinched Empress Zhou’s neck severely, with blue veins on his forehead violent, and said sharply, “Say! What caused me to kill Yuanyuan? Yuanyuan’s death. , Is it related to you?"

Queen Zhou flushed from being pinched, but still smiling, her beautiful eyes filled with desperate resentment, "Pei Yuanche, has Gu Yuan been happy by your side? I didn't harm her, because she didn't want to live anymore. I just told her the truth."

the truth?

Emperor Zhaokang furrowed his eyebrows and his eyes became sharper, "What did you say to her."

Empress Zhou smiled painfully, "I told her that her childhood sweetheart, Yan, Yan, did not die from an illness, but you killed it. I also told her that you have always been sorrowful of her and Wenming Yan's sinfulness, and that kind of sinfulness suddenly occurred. You died from asthma, you arranged it alone!"

She recalled that sixteen years ago, that mournful autumn rain afternoon was the fifth anniversary of the death of the eldest prince——

On that day, Gu Yuan knelt in front of the Buddhist hall and chanted.

She knelt down in front of Gu Yuan with tears, and confessed, "The empress, my concubine, I am sorry for you, but there is only one thing. The concubine has hidden in his heart for many years. It is really hard to bear the condemnation of conscience. The death of the eldest prince is not an accident. In fact, Yes, it was arranged by Your Majesty... Your Majesty has always hated the life experience of the Grand Prince, so he specially ordered the Grand Prince’s close-knit maids to cover the mouth and nose of the Grand Prince with a veil soaked in sumac pollen, causing the Grand Prince to have an asthma attack. Suffocated to death...

At that time, the concubine was behind the rockery in the garden and witnessed all this with his own eyes. The concubine was really terrified and fell accidentally while running. The court lady found the concubine, so she escorted the concubine to your majesty. His Majesty ordered his concubines not to speak, otherwise they would kill them...The ministers really didn't dare to disobey your majesty's intentions, so they kept it secret for these years. But in the past five years, the concubines often dreamed of the tragic death of the eldest prince, and the concubines really couldn’t keep the secret, woo..."

She will never forget Gu Yuan's expression after hearing these words.

She looked so happy in her heart that she almost couldn't help laughing.

At that time, Gu Yuan's mental state was already very poor. Her words to fuel the flames became the last straw to crush the camel.

On the second day of the death of the eldest prince, Gu Yuan took poison.

After her thoughts turned, Queen Zhou looked at Emperor Zhaokang provocatively, "Your Majesty, you are nothing but a poor worm. No matter how good you are to Gu Yuan, you will never be able to match the status of Yan and that evil species in her mind!"

The corners of Emperor Zhaokang's eyes were red, the eyebrows were full of violence, and his hands increased his strength, "You nonsense!"

Empress Zhou was pinched out of breath, her face turned into pig liver red, she turned her gaze to Pei Yan with difficulty, and squatted, "Prince...Prince..."

Pei Yan's lowered hands tightened a little bit, and the knuckles were all white.

His big emperor brother, is the evil kind?

The queen mother died because of the father?

Heavy mists shrouded his heart, and his thoughts were chaotic.

Seeing that Emperor Zhaokang was about to choke Queen Zhou to death, Gu Qu, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward and held down Emperor Zhaokang's hand with his eyes piercing, "Let her go and let her say."

Emperor Zhaokang was startled, his eyes icy, "Gu Qu, you are so bold."

Gu Qu continued to press his hand, his unsmiling face was the same persistence he had seen years ago, "The minister just wants to figure out why my sister died!"

Eyes are facing each other, stalemate with each other.

Finally, Emperor Zhaokang let go of his hand angrily.

Empress Zhou softened and collapsed straight to the ground. The survival instinct made her clutch her neck and breathe.

When she got over, she cursed at Emperor Zhaokang with red eyes, "Gu Yuan is a slut. He eloped with someone before entering the palace and was pregnant with another man's seed! Such an unclean slut, By the way, you still treat her as a treasure, hold her and pet her, and would rather be a tortoise **** for her! I wholeheartedly treat you, and give birth to you, but you abandon me like a shoe. Pei Yuanche, you are a blind man, You are good or bad!"

After she finished cursing, she looked at Pei Yan ferociously, and mocked, "Do you know why your father treats you so well? Because he dreams of wanting to be entangled with Gu Yuan, he is a lunatic, and can't wait to leave Gu Yuanyong forever Far locked by his side. Finally, with you, he and Gu Yuan share the blood and blood, of course he loves you.

But Gu Yuan hates you, hates you like your father, you are her humiliation, her embarrassment, and her burden! For the great prince she loves, she can take poison without hesitation and leave your father and son behind, hahahaha, your father and son are just like poor worms! The poor worm abandoned by Gu Yuan! "

Her sorrowful laughter was wild and stern, every word, straight to the scar in Emperor Zhaokang's heart.

Yuanyuan would rather take poison than leave him.

He loves her that way, and he can't wait to hold Jiangshan to her and dig out his heart for her, but she has never loved him.

Seeing Queen Zhou still cursing, Emperor Zhaokang turned anxiously like an angry lion with his head out, and finally snatched the guard's sword, and roared out of form, "Kill you, I will kill you crazy woman!" "

Empress Zhou is now fearless, tilting her head up, with a mocking smile on her face.

When Emperor Zhaokang slashed towards Empress Zhou, Pei Yan, who had been silent, stepped forward and stopped Emperor Zhaokang's sword, "Emperor Father."

Emperor Zhaokang was stunned, looking at Pei Yan who was calm and indifferent in front of him, his anger was restrained, "Yan'er, let me kill her."

Pei stretched out his slender hand and broke away the fingers of Emperor Zhaokang pinching the sword bit by bit, with a calm tone, "Father, she doesn't owe you anything, you are not qualified to kill her."

Emperor Zhaokang's face was stiff.

"But she owes me a life."

Pei Yan took the sword in his hand slowly, clenched it tightly, and his black eyes were deep, "Sixteen years ago, she caused me to fall into the water. Since then, I have thought that one day, I will avenge myself."

Emperor Zhaokang's pupils shrank sharply and stared straight at Pei Yan, "It was her back then?! Yan'er, why didn't you tell me..."

Pei Yan lifted his lips and smiled, "My father protects his children for a while, but he can't protect every moment."

After all, he no longer looked at Emperor Zhaokang, but slowly turned around and walked towards Empress Zhou step by step.

Seeing the imposing young prince, Empress Zhou contracted her heart, stepped back subconsciously, and shouted, "You should kill Pei Yuanche, he killed your mother and your brother, it's him—"

Half of the words were still stuck in her throat, and her throat was cut by a sharp blade.

The warm blood kept pouring out, and Queen Zhou opened her eyes unwillingly.

"Mother Queen!!!"

Pei Lingbi, who had witnessed this crazy farce, yelled, tears rolling.

Empress Zhou fell straight down, and the blood dyed her gorgeous red phoenix robe brighter and brighter.

Her lips moved slightly--

Gu Yuan, you won.

Without Queen Zhou's insults, there was a lot of quiet in front of the hall.

Pei Lingbi cried and cried, and found that only her own cries, she covered her mouth in fear.

The elder brother forced the palace to die, the queen mother also died, and the uncle's family fell, leaving her alone.

She looked around in a flustered manner, looking for someone who could ask for help.

Emperor Zhaokang, Pei Yan, Princess Jingyang, Qinghe, Little Grandpa Xie...The indifferent faces made her heart heavier and deeper.

Pei Yan dropped the sword in his hand, caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye, and faintly told the guard, "Drag it down."

Pei Lingbi suddenly changed his face and shouted helplessly, "Don't touch me, no! Father, save me, save me! I don't know the conspiracy of the emperor's brother and the queen, I am innocent!"

Emperor Zhaokang only thought she was noisy at this moment.

The guard quickly blocked her mouth and dragged her down again.

"Clang clang..."

At this moment, the bell of the child's time rang in the distance, and it looked so long and desolate in the empty square where the corpses were all over the place.

The new year is here.

Seeing Emperor Zhaokang standing slumped, Pei Yan calmly arranged the mess in front of him, the detachment of the palace, the collection of the corpses, the cleaning of the cleaning...

After making some arrangements, he walked up to Emperor Zhaokang, bent over, arched his hands, his tone was respectful, he couldn't hear the joys and anger, "Father, it's late at night, you can go back to the palace and rest."

Emperor Zhaokang raised his head, his majestic and solemn face was full of confusion and panic at the moment, as if he was a teenager and there was no sharpness in his deep eyes.

He opened his mouth hard, as if to explain.

Pei Yan's black eyes moved slightly, and he only asked in a deep voice, "Father, are all those things you did to your mother true?"

The corners of Emperor Zhaokang's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and the imposing emperor appeared depressed. He was silent for a long time, and finally was speechless.

Pei Yan twitched at the corner of his mouth, and the last ray of light in his eyes was completely dimmed.

"You are her humiliation, her embarrassment, and her burden!" Zhou's words are still in my ears.

It turns out that the queen does not love the father, nor does he love him.

He is also the one abandoned by the queen mother.

Emperor Zhaokang took a step forward, reaching out to pat Pei Yan's shoulder, Pei Yan avoided stiffly and coldly.

His hands froze in the air, especially embarrassing.

Pei Yan stepped aside, lowered his head, his voice was distant and indifferent.

...

In the East Palace, Tao Ti ran out of breath on the thin snow.

Behind her, Linglong waited for the palace people to call anxiously, "Prince princess, slow down, the snowy world is slippery."

She didn't listen, and continued to run forward, thinking only about Pei Yan.

Her Royal Highness, her husband, is still undecided in the raging danger.

She didn't know how long she had been running. The snow soaked her thin and soft pajamas, her legs were numb, and she only mechanically repeated the movement of running.

She ran and ran, and she fell three somersaults along the way, and her **** fell so painful that she didn't care about the pain, so she got up and continued running.

Finally, she saw the Zhide Gate connecting the East Palace and the Imperial Palace.

Tao Ti's eyes lit up, and when he was excited, he fell somersault.

She almost burst into tears with pain, but thinking about the unlucky tears of the Chinese New Year, she bit her lip tightly and held it back.

When she stood up and got up, she saw the tall door, and slowly walked out a long and straight figure.

Pei Yan's silver-gray robe was stained with blood, and his hand with well-knotted joints held a long sword tightly, and the sword was also stained with blood.

In the cold white moonlight, his handsome eyebrows seemed to be covered with a layer of icy frost, his thin lips pressed, and the jaw line became sharper.

Tao Ti was stunned and stood motionless.

Pei Yan also saw her.

Under the moonlight and in the snow, the little person wore thin clothes, scattered like waterfalls with blue silk, with clear eyes, like an elf who had strayed into the world.

The coldness between his eyebrows was constricted, and he threw away the sword in his hand, with a smile on his face, gentle and sickly.

He waved to her, "Ati, come to lonely arms."

Tao Ti's eyelashes trembled slightly, "..."

Pei Yan's smile stiffened when she saw that she hadn't moved.

As if afraid that she would abandon him, he walked to her in three steps and two steps.

Regardless of blood and image, at this moment, he just wanted to hug her tightly.

Pei Yan was bent over, her cold fingers pinched the back of her neck, her long eyelashes drooped, covering her emotional deep eyes, her tone was a bit wronged, "Don't be afraid of loneliness, loneliness will make you sad."

His clear breath brushed Tao Ti's ears, and she heard the tremor of gains and losses in his voice, and her heart suddenly softened.

She raised two soft arms, wrapped around his waist, and said softly, "I'm not afraid, I know your Highness will not hurt me."

Pei Yan's heart was hot, and he lowered his head and took a deep breath in her shoulders, "Ati, promise me that you won't leave me behind."

"Well, I promise you." Although I don't know why he suddenly asked like this.

"Never leave me." He added.

"Okay, never."

"Then why didn't you come to hug me just now."

"...My feet are numb with cold."

"..."

After a while, Pei Yan laughed lowly.

Tao Ti, "..."

Not for you yet! Still laugh!

After a while, Pei Yan bends down and hugs her, Taohua's eyes are full of gentleness, "Go, let's go home."

Snow fell in the sky again, and white snowflakes fell gently.

Tao Ti lightly tugged at the placket of his shirt, with bright eyes, "His Royal Highness, Happy New Year."

Pei Yan bent her eyebrows and kissed her forehead, "Little girl, happy new year."
