Their tit-for-tat made me feel like I was on pins and needles, and I quickly slipped out to catch my breath.
Outside the door, the rain still did not stop, and the temperature slowly dropped, giving people goosebumps from the cold. I folded my arms and turned back helplessly.
Passing by the flower hall, two men in black stood under the carved pillars, covering their heads and covering their faces. The raindrops splashed on the brim of their hats, but the two didn't care and stood up straight.
When they saw me, the two turned their heads slightly, and the two eyes shot at me were as cold as blades. I couldn't help shivering, but they quickly retracted their gazes and continued to look at the rain. I paid attention, they crossed their arms, and they seemed to be holding something hard in their arms. My first reaction was weapons.
It should be the bodyguard brought by Beichen Tianheng. The attire is a little strange, probably to hide people's eyes and ears.
But I also wandered around because of this, only to realize that things are not easy.
There are people in black hiding behind the corners, roofs, and pillars. What amazed me even more is that the ones who walked past me were the remaining ropes and broken dragon halberds of the "Seven Killing Underworld Gods".
The two of them also dressed up as guards and walked past me without looking sideways, not recognizing me. I hurriedly bowed my head and waited for them to pass by before I dared to take a peek at them. Mysteries were also hidden under their clothes.
If it is said that this posture is only to protect the safety of Beichen Tianheng, I do not believe it.
I'm just afraid that Beichen Tianheng's comers are not good.
Just as I was thinking, a light cough beside me startled me.
Turning around alertly, Beichen Tianheng stood behind him.
"The Emperor—"
He put a finger between his lips and stopped my words. I looked at him silently. He walked beside me and looked at the rain curtain with great interest.
"You really shouldn't be here tonight!" Beichen Tianheng looked at the rain for a while, and suddenly said.
"I don't understand!" I bowed slightly.
"You still don't know why Uncle Seventh Emperor was placed under house arrest, right?" He gave me a strange look.
"Isn't it because the hundreds of officials jointly signed the letter?" I asked rhetorically, really confused.
"Don't think that I will really be led by a prime minister's nose!" Bei Chen Tianheng came close to my ear and said fiercely, "Anyone! Anyone who threatens me will have to die!"
I shuddered all over. Is there any insider here? Listening to his tone, it seems that Beichen Shaoyuan has done something earth-shattering, and even Jun Qidao can't get rid of it.
His bloody words were so cold that there was no trace of emotion, and I was conditioned to think of Weiyang's story about the litter of chicks and cats when they were young, and an ominous premonition caught my body.
"Forgive me for being stupid!" I pretended to be ignorant by retreating.
"But you don't have to worry!" He moved slightly away from me and said slowly, "You have made great contributions to the society. As long as he is sincere to me, I will not treat him badly, nor will I treat his family badly!"
He paused, looked at my face carefully up and down, and continued with an indubitable tone:
"I said that you can come back to be my concubine at any time, have you changed your mind?"
I thought again in my mind, was the threat that Beichen Tianheng said was the cruel words that Shaoyuan said when I fell into a coma and was found out by my daughter? He thought that it was because of Shaoyuan that I didn't want to enter the palace, so he became angry, and he was still brooding about Shaoyuan's threat to him
However, Beichen Tianheng is not like a person who will be influenced by the love of his children. What's more, he has no love for me. Although he keeps saying that he wants me to be his concubine, he looks at me like A swordsman sees a good sword, not a man sees a beloved woman.
So for whatever reason, I'm not going to agree.
I shook my head.
"Then what if I want to kill him?" Anger flashed in Beichen Tianheng's eyes, and his cold tone made me stiff for a while.
"Kill… kill who?" I could feel my voice shaking.
He didn't speak, and glanced at the inner room at the end of his eyes.
I suddenly felt like I was in an ice cellar, from head to toe. Beichen Tianheng really wants to do it! Those men in black with weapons, the "Seven Killing Underworld Gods" dressed as guards, they want him to die!
Countless voices in my head screamed, chaotic, and I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say, I subconsciously grasped his sleeve and stared at him.
"I gave you this opportunity, it's up to you how you choose!"
Beichen Tianheng looked at my clenched hand, frowned, and stepped into the inner room.
Looking at the heavy rain, I was extremely disturbed, what would Beichen Tianheng do, and how sure would he be able to kill Shaoyuan? What the hell happened before!
The men in black under the corridor are walking slowly at the moment, exchanging positions with each other. Are they ready to act? I was distraught, and I didn't know how Shaoyuan would respond. Can he escape this catastrophe!
Unconsciously, my heart tightened again.
Hurrying back to the banquet, Shaoyuan and Tianheng's uncle and nephew were drinking wine silently, and the sandalwood fragrance lingered out of a quiet room.
I sat down and took a peek at Beichen Tianheng. He didn't seem to have anything happened and smiled at me without saying a word, while Beichen Shaoyuan was very critical of my late return. I smiled awkwardly and drank cup by cup. Wine, to cover up the mind.
After a while, the jug became empty.
Shaoyuan clapped his hands, and there was a slam from the door, and then Lian'er came in with a wine tray. The bottom of the blue-and-white plate with golden rim and lotus pattern was a white porcelain pot carved with dragons. The desire to get drunk.
Lian'er poured wine for the three of us in turn, always low eyebrows pleasing to the eye, graceful and charming, well-behaved appearance lovable. Tian Heng couldn't help but glance at her twice, Lian'er gave a very measured smile, and quickly stepped back.
"This is the royal wine that the Yaosang Kingdom paid tribute to. This king has brought it from the royal brother for many years. Take a drink today!" Shaoyuan shook the wine glass in his hand to the two of us.
I looked down at the contents of the glass, the water was as clear as water, but in the rippling waves of the wine, the refreshing fragrance rushed to the nose and chest.
Wine is good wine! But what's the trick in this wine!
Beichen Tianheng's words were still echoing in my ears, and I couldn't help but suspect that this banquet was in danger. To Shaoyuan, Tianheng was not good, and there were countless masters in ambush outside the door, waiting for Tianheng to give an order; to Tianheng, this might be a feast of Hongmen. Too confident and too bold.
The Beichen Shaoyuan I know is not that simple.
I looked at Shaoyuan, and then at Tianheng, both of them raised their glasses and gradually moved closer to their lips.
In the end who will touch the wine? what do I do? Is this my choice
There was a flash of lightning in my head, and the moment the wine glass dipped my lips, I stood up.
"Don't drink!"
