They had already followed the carriage out of the imperial capital. They would head north to that distant and safe country.
However, the drug did not keep Qi Changyi unconscious for too long. Perhaps because of his special physique, he woke up not long after he reunited with Jiang Yubai and Chengfeng.
No matter how Li Yu and Jiang Yubai tried to deceive him, Qi Changyi refused to believe them. There was only one thing he firmly believed in from beginning to end.
Brother Pei won't abandon him.
He stopped the carriage, jumped off, and was about to return to the imperial capital.
Chengfeng refused to let him go no matter what.
Qi Changyi's eyes immediately turned red with anxiety. He took out a sharp weapon from somewhere and put it against his neck, looking at Chengfeng and Jiang Yubai with a pleading look.
"I want to go back. I have to go back. I can't leave Brother Pei alone there. He will be lonely. I want to go back.
I want to accompany him."
Finally, the carriage turned around and rushed back to the imperial capital at full speed.
Unfortunately, when they were outside the city, they happened to encounter a barbarian army retreating from the city, and Amul was riding a horse in front of the column.
But the barbarian army did not stop. Amul rode past them in a hurry and only sent someone to leave a note for Qi Changyi.
It says: I hope we will no longer be enemies.
I don’t know who this was spoken to.
When Qi Changyi finally rushed back to the palace, he saw Pei Zheng standing alone in a bloody scene.
He stood there at an angle, holding a sword, and looked in his own direction with his head slightly tilted. He looked a little confused and at a loss like a helpless child.
The red all over the ground and eyes formed an overwhelming makeup behind him, which was shocking.
It turns out that people can no longer feel pain when they are about to die.
The wounds all over my body and the bloody hole on my chest no longer hurt.
But as long as he took a breath, he would spit out blood, and all the blood flowed onto Qi Changyi's back, soaking most of his plain white clothes.
"Brother Pei"
Pei Zheng's body gradually lost strength and he slid off Qi Changyi's shoulders. With just the strength of a small man, there was no way to lift him up again.
Qi Changyi still hugged his upper body and used his sleeves to block the bloody holes on his body.
"Don't cry, darling. Don't cry, it doesn't hurt. Really, it doesn't hurt." Pei Zheng said intermittently, the bloodthirsty blood in his eyes had dissipated.
It disappears and becomes as gentle and tender as the autumn lake water, clean and clear, and flawless.
Qi Changyi refused to blink, staring at Pei Zheng's pale face, tears welling up in his eyes, and his heart seemed to be torn apart, bleeding along with Pei Zheng.
"Just cry for the last time. Don't cry anymore in the future." Pei Zheng's lips moved slightly. "Live happily, laugh, and be safe."
Just like the wishes Pei Zheng made in his heart when he released the river lanterns during the Lantern Festival,
＿＿I hope that this little fool in my arms will have a smooth life in the future, not suffer any more hardships, and live the rest of his life in peace and happiness.
That wish actually has a second half...
Even without me
Qi Changyi nodded, choking with tears in his eyes, "Okay, I won't cry anymore, I won't cry"
But the hot tears still couldn't stop flowing.
Pei Zheng looked at the little person, but his vision became blurred, and even the face of the little person who was so close to him was a little unclear.
He exhaled lightly, his voice was a little hoarse and ethereal, and it seemed as if it might be blown away by the wind.
"Qi Changyi"
The corner of his eye moved, and a drop of crystal sparkled in it.
"Shen Nineteen"
His eyes were slowly closing.
"No matter which you are"
As his eyes closed, a tear trembled and rolled down.
"I love you all"
Pei Zheng never opened his eyes again.
At this moment, all things in the world, the bright moon and the gentle breeze, seemed to have opened their way and passed by.
Qi Changyi's eyes widened, and his tears suddenly stopped flowing. He froze and dared not move. He felt as if the outside world had blocked them out. He just held Pei Zheng in his arms, thrown into a dark and lonely area. He didn't know what to do, so he could only hold the person in his arms tightly, and hold him tighter, as if he was hugging the most precious thing in the world.
Someone was running towards them not far away, and it seemed that someone was calling their names.
But Qi Changyi seemed to be deaf to it. Before he lost consciousness and fell into a coma, Pei Zheng's words were still ringing in his ears.
Such a gentle tone, and such cold and painful words.
He said don't cry.
He said to have a good time.
He also said,
＿＿I love you one by one
*****★The thickest dividing line***
The great Celestial Empire was destroyed overnight.
The most prosperous imperial capital city disappeared like smoke, leaving behind only a pile of dilapidated ruins.
The barbarian army invaded only the south of the imperial capital. A dozen small cities to the north of the imperial capital were spared from the scourge of war, but they were no longer called the Celestial Empire. Instead, they were called "Changling Kingdom" under a new dynasty.
Time flies and four years have passed.
The Northern Territory is particularly cold this year. It snowed several times early in the morning. The snow outside is already above the ankles. The sky and the earth are covered in white, which is beautiful beyond words.
In the snow, a chubby little baby was running happily, giggling, but when he turned around, he stumbled and fell into a snow pile, with his mouth full of cold snowflakes.
The little baby didn't cry or make a fuss. He just lay there in the snow without moving. His short legs kicked around a few times, waiting for someone to help him.
A pair of hands followed closely behind him and picked him up.
"Li'er, don't run so fast. What if you fall and get hurt?"
The person who was speaking had a soft and sticky voice, as if he was angry.
The little baby wiped the snow off his face, revealing a chubby, handsome and cute face. He looked at the person in front of him with a pair of big black eyes, and glanced downwards, looking like he was so aggrieved that he was about to cry.
"My son, you are so mean to me. I was not running fast at all. I was tripped by a small stone. You should blame the small stone, not me."
The little baby looked really aggrieved, with slightly reddened corners of his eyes.
"Okay, I won't be mean to you, but you have to promise me that you won't run around anymore and go inside quickly. You've been playing outside for a long time, you need to go inside and warm up for a while."
The baby's face, which was droopy just now, immediately brightened up, and he smiled with curved eyes, looking cute and lively.
"Son, I want you to carry me in!"
As the little baby spoke, he hugged the neck of the person in front of him, rubbing his little face against the white neck, acting coquettishly.
At this time, someone was knocking on the door outside the courtyard.
"Master Shen, someone is coming to get medicine, please go and take a look!"
"Okay, I'll come!"
The little baby heard that the man was about to leave, and unwillingly hugged his neck and refused to let go.
The door in front of him was opened from the inside, and Li Yu walked out, wanting to take the baby.
"Young Master, come, let's go inside and play. The Master has something to do now. Can I play with you for a while?"
Although he was reluctant, the little baby finally let the person go.
He sat down on the bench, looking a little angry, with a puffy little face. He didn't look at Li Yu and refused to speak.
The charcoal fire in the house was burning brightly, and the child was very hot-tempered. After a while, he felt hot and his cheeks turned red.
Seeing him like this, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You are not allowed to laugh!" The fierce little baby voice actually has no intimidating power at all, and it is even cute to death.
Li Yu covered his mouth and said, "Okay, okay, you are the young master, if you say you don't want to laugh, I will definitely not laugh anymore."
He went over and took off the thick outer robe for the little baby, revealing the red flowered cotton jacket underneath. Such cute clothes, coupled with the cool expression on the little baby's face, made the baby look even more adorable.
Li Yu couldn't help laughing again.
"The master is not deliberately not accompanying you, but the clinic is so busy, the master must always put the patients first, after all, illnesses don't wait, and if treatment is not timely, it may..."
Li Yu blinked at the little baby, "You understand what I mean?"
The little baby pouted and nodded.
Li Yu said, "I know that our young master is the smartest and most sensible. He must understand all these principles. Besides, don't you have my little Yuzi to play with you? When the snow outside melts, we can go out to play directly on the street, okay?"
The little baby looked up in surprise, "Really? Then you better keep your word! Those who lie are just puppies!"
"Okay! Whoever lies is a puppy!"
Seeing the little kid in front of him finally smile, Li Yu turned his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
The clinic is just in front of the small courtyard, and there are already people waiting inside.
As soon as the door was opened, I saw the doctor finally arrived and an old lady came to greet him with a hunched back.
"Are you the miraculous doctor, Master Shen Shijiu?"
The old lady looked up and down the person in front of her with some suspicion. Could such a handsome young man be a miracle doctor
"Grandma," Shen Shijiu smiled with curved eyebrows, illuminating the entire room, "It's me, I'm Shen Shijiu.
The old lady was a little dazed and thought she had seen a god because of her old eyesight.
"Good god, I'm sure you can cure that person's illness," the old lady muttered to herself, not knowing what she was saying.
After Shen Shijiu inquired carefully, he found out that it was not the old lady who was sick, but she came to get medicine for someone else.
"I've been to many doctors for this disease and none of them have been able to cure it. That's why I thought I should come here to ask for help."
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Shen Shijiu with hope.
Shen Shijiu thought for a while, but before he could say anything, a neutral voice came from the counter.
"Bring the patient here when you go to see a doctor, don't go to the outpatient clinic for treatment."
The old lady was really frightened. She had been inside the room for such a long time but she didn't notice that there was a man in black standing there.
He is quite handsome, but looks a little scary.
Shen Shijiu looked back at the counter and said leisurely, "Ah Feng, have you settled yesterday's bill?"
That handsome face was expressionless and looked away.
"No."
Shen Shijiu grinned at him, "Then you have to work hard."
