Qi Changyi's cheeks were pinched so hard that it hurt, and he sniffed twice quietly.
"Brother Pei, can you please tell Father not to let Brother Tang go to such a dangerous place?"
"What if I say no?" Pei Zheng suddenly let go of his hand and turned his little face away.
Tears welled up in Qi Changyi's eyes as she grabbed Pei Zheng's collar.
"Brother Pei..."
Pei Zheng suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice, "Are you begging me for him?"
He leaned close to the little man's ear and said, "Then you know how to pray."
Qi Changyi's body trembled violently twice, and he lowered his head hurriedly, "I... I..."
Pei Zheng leaned back on the bed, staring at him without saying a word.
Qi Changyi made up his mind, closed his eyes, and suddenly moved close to Pei Zheng's lips, pressing his soft and tender red lips against his.
The red lips didn't know what to do, and the soft little tongue stretched out, trying to get into Pei Zheng's mouth, but the man's teeth were clenched tightly, and his tongue couldn't get in several times. The little guy shed tears of grievance.
He wiped his tears, moved closer to Pei Zheng's neck, stuck out his tongue and gently licked the protruding Adam's apple, his trembling eyelashes were filled with tears.
Seeing that Pei Zheng still had no reaction, Qi Changyi's little hand slipped into Pei Zheng's clothes on his chest. The little hand was soft and boneless, and he didn't know how to move, so he just gently touched the skin under his hand.
He reached down with his other hand, trying to untie the complicated rope, but failed after trying for a long time. The little guy was so anxious that tears welled up in his eyes again.
The hand was suddenly held by someone, and the delicate white chin was also pinched, and the head was raised.
"Is this all you can do?" Pei Zheng raised the corner of his mouth, then he rolled over, pressed the man to his knees, and immediately gained the upper hand.
The tall body was attached to it, and with one hand he lifted up the clothes on the little guy, revealing the white and smooth skin underneath. He stretched out his palm and rubbed it hard, leaving some red marks. His movements were rough and not gentle at all.
Then Pei Zheng lowered his head and blocked his lips and tongue, and a kiss full of punishment came fiercely.
—When he thought that the villain was so proactive towards him just to plead for someone else, he found it difficult to calm down the anger in his heart.
When the person under him was kissed so hard that he was dizzy and his consciousness was blurred, Pei Zheng suddenly stopped, pinched his chin and looked at him.
The little guy's eyes were already blurred with tears, his eyes were watery, his lips were slightly open, and he was breathing rapidly.
"who I am?"
"Pei, Brother Pei..."
"Don't let me hear other people's names from your mouth again, remember?"
Qi Changyi looked at him with tears in her eyes and sobbed twice.
Pei Zheng's men used force and left finger marks on the chin.
"Answer me!"
"Remember, remember...Brother Pei..."
Pei Zheng snorted coldly, relaxed his strength, turned over and got out of bed, without even looking at the little guy, turned around and walked out the door.
As soon as the door closed, the half-naked little person lying on the bed quickly pulled the thin blanket over himself, then curled up in it, tears flowing silently.
He didn't know how long he cried before he fell into a deep sleep. He didn't even eat dinner, but just drank the medicine and then went back to bed.
Li Yu was a little puzzled. His Highness was clearly full of energy during the day, but why did he become so drowsy at night
The next day, Jiang Yubai came to check Qi Changyi's pulse, but the little guy huddled in the quilt and refused to come out to see anyone, with only a small section of his snow-white arm showing.
Jiang Yubai didn't think much about it and took his pulse.
"Why is your pulse a little unstable again today? Did you not get enough rest last night?"
Jiang Yubai was about to pull open the quilt as he spoke, but the little guy immediately exclaimed and then wrapped the quilt tighter.
"Doctor Jiang... I, I slept a little late last night, nothing serious..."
Qi Changyi was very worried. When Jiang Yubai lifted the quilt, he would see the marks on his chin and neck.
"The pulse has been stable for the past few days. There is nothing serious now. Just don't get any more stimulation. Your Highness, I have to go back to the palace today. I don't know how much trouble the Imperial Hospital has accumulated over the past few days."
The little person under the quilt finally showed his eyes and looked at Jiang Yubai.
"Doctor Jiang, are you going back?"
"Yes, I will come to see you again when I have time. Even if I'm not here, you still have to take your medicine every day and take good care of yourself until you are fully recovered. Do you hear me?"
"I understand, Doctor Jiang."
Jiang Yubai told Li Yu some more things to be careful of, and then, as if he had thought of something, he said to Qi Changyi, "Your Highness, do you know where Lord Pei went?"
The little man under the quilt shook his head.
Jiang Yubai said, "I heard from the people in the mansion that Pei Zheng seemed to have to go out for a few days for something. I thought he would tell you first."
"Brother Pei, he didn't tell me anything..." The little guy's voice became smaller and smaller.
"Well, Your Highness, don't think too much about it. If he didn't say anything, it must be nothing serious. Then I'm leaving."
"Doctor Jiang, please be careful on your way back."
Li Yu saw Jiang Yubai out, then closed the door and walked back to the bed.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why don't you want to get out of the quilt? Are you cold?"
Qi Changyi's ears blushed under the quilt and he shook his head.
He gently pulled the quilt down a little, revealing the entire little face, and two clear finger marks on the chin were visible.
Li Yu was a little surprised, "Your Highness, how did you do this? Is it, is it Master Pei?"
Qi Changyi didn't say anything and nodded slowly.
Li Yu said, "Your Highness, what happened between you and Lord Pei?"
Li Yu suddenly thought of what the Fourth Prince said when he came here that day, and asked quickly, "Your Highness, did you ask Master Pei some questions that you shouldn't have asked, and made Master Pei unhappy?"
Seeing Qi Changyi didn't answer, Li Yu knew what was going on.
"Your Highness, I will speak directly to you. The Fourth Prince was ignored by the Emperor and felt aggrieved. At this critical moment, he came to see you and told you some nonsense. I don't know what he was thinking."
"Xiao Yuzi, don't talk about Fourth Brother like that..."
"Your Highness, there are some things you don't understand, but I can see them clearly. The Fourth Prince knows that you have a special relationship with Lord Pei. When we lived in the palace before, did he ever come to see you when you were in trouble? He only saw that you are under the protection of Lord Pei now."
These words made Qi Changyi fall into deep thought, and he did not speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Li Yu did not continue speaking.
In the afternoon, a maid came to deliver something. Li Yu went over to open the door, and was followed by the old steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Eunuch Yu." The housekeeper greeted Li Yu, "How is your highness?"
"I wonder what brings you here, housekeeper?" Li Yu asked.
"Nothing serious..."
Qi Changyi, who was in the house, heard the conversation between the two people at the door and asked the old housekeeper to come in.
"Greetings, Your Highness." The old butler saluted.
Qi Changyi smiled gently at him.
The housekeeper said, "Your Highness, the master has been out for some reason recently and may not return to live in the mansion, so I asked this old servant to come and inform him. But the master also instructed us to take good care of him, and he also said that if Your Highness wants to leave the mansion, he only needs to tell this old servant."
"Can I go out? Does Brother Pei mean that I won't be confined?"
"yes"
Qi Changyi's little face finally brightened up a bit, and she slightly curved her eyebrows.
But when the day came when he wanted to leave the house, he was stunned by the scene before him.
The old butler was followed by two other servants and seventeen or eighteen guards, who stood in an orderly manner at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion waiting for him.
"Your Highness, let's go."
Qi Changyi nervously pulled Li Yu's sleeve and said, "Xiao Yuzi, there are so many people here. I'm a little scared..."
Li Yu comforted him, "Your Highness, these must be sent by Lord Pei to protect you. Don't be afraid. I will go and tell the housekeeper."
Li Yu pulled the old housekeeper aside and spoke to him earnestly for a long time.
The old butler looked hesitant, but finally nodded and agreed, and only sent two guards with the best martial arts skills to follow behind.
"You two must keep a close eye on His Highness. Otherwise, you will be in big trouble."
"yes"
The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion opened, and a bleak and biting cold wind suddenly rushed in. Qi Changyi shuddered and exhaled a burst of hot white air.
Sigh.
"ha"
Walking out onto the street, the imperial capital was bustling with people and traffic. Although the weather was very cold, Qi Changyi hadn't been out for a long time, and the sense of freshness was very strong.
The small vendors outside were selling many novelties, but Qi Changyi didn't seem to be interested in any of them.
The street light parade had been over for so long, but there were still a few stalls selling lanterns. Qi Changyi pulled Li Yu over to take a look.
"Young master, just tell me which one you like. I sell them all at a low price, and the workmanship is very exquisite." The peddler saw that the visitor was well-dressed and beautiful, so he knew that he was definitely not from an ordinary family.
But Qi Changyi looked left and right, and the sparkle in his eyes slowly faded away. "Forget it, Xiaoyuzi, let's go."
Li Yu knew that he had not chosen the right one, "Sir, look, there are a few more over there, let's go take a look."
The two of them walked around the street for a while, but Qi Changyi couldn't find anything satisfactory among the stalls selling lanterns.
"Your Highness, what kind do you want? I will ask someone to make it for you. Why do you have to buy it on the street?" Li Yu straightened Qi Changyi's collar.
"It's gone. I can't find it anymore. Once it's gone, it's gone..."
As Qi Changyi spoke, his eyes gradually turned red. He couldn't find the rabbit Liandeng that he liked.
"How could that be? Your Highness, we will definitely find it. Let's go for a walk again. Don't be sad, okay?" Li Yu saw that the little guy's eyes were wet and hurried to coax him.
Qi Changyi hummed dejectedly. Although he was very disappointed, he still let Li Yu drag him to other places for a while.
Sure enough, I still couldn’t find a lantern of that shape.
After hanging out outside for so long, Li Yu was a little worried about the health of his prince.
"Your Highness, why don't we stop here today? You just got better. I'm worried that you'll get frozen. Let's go out and look for what you want next time, okay?"
Qi Changyi nodded obediently, and the group returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
