The way down the mountain was very peaceful, and Pei Yuanjun remained silent. Only later, when Qu Moying's breathing became heavier, did he stop and look down at the delicate girl walking beside him.
Because she was tired, her breathing was much heavier than usual, but the color of her lips was not good, and she looked extremely weak. Even so, she did not speak. A strand of hair was scattered on her fair forehead, a little messy, but it did not detract from her appearance. The charming look in the corners of her eyes made her look gentle, with some confusion.
The fatal charm lies behind the pure and delicate appearance.
Pei Yuanjun reached out his hand and naturally embraced her in his arms. He put his hand on her back and gently stroked it twice, allowing her to breathe more easily.
"Your Highness?" Qu Moying was stunned by his sudden hug and looked up subconsciously.
Where his gaze fell, he saw a pair of extremely dark and handsome eyes. The depth of his eyes was so intense that one could not tell whether it was sinister or dark in them, but one could sense that they were filled with murderous intent.
Pei Yuanjun was in danger at this moment.
"Do you want to know what's on it?" Pei Yuanjun stared at her deeply and suddenly asked.
Qu Moying nodded subconsciously.
Things in her past life and things in her present life filled her with doubts, but she didn't know where to start, nor did she know if Pei Yuanjun would tell her even if she asked.
"There was a man who had let down his first wife, but he also found that he was deeply in love with her. He felt that all descendants in his family should come to pay homage to his first wife. He even believed that only by paying homage to his first wife could he be officially recognized as his first wife, otherwise he would never acknowledge her."
Pei Yuanjun raised his eyes and his gaze fell coldly on the cliff opposite.
Qu Moying's heart trembled, and she bit her lips, "Is it... the Emperor?"
There is only one person in the world who can say such words and do such things.
Then the spiritual tablet above is the Empress Yuan.
No wonder Pei Luoan was so reluctant when he came up to pay homage, but he had to come. If it was really the empress, the current Queen Wang was just a concubine at that time.
To be able to sit on the throne of Empress Yuan, this Empress must have been very capable. It can even be said that Empress Yuan's affairs might have something to do with her. Wasn't she the one who benefited the most in the end
Of course, if we look at this matter from the perspective of the beneficial results, Concubine He cannot escape.
If Empress Yuan were still alive, even if Concubine He entered the palace, she would not be able to become a high-ranking concubine. If two sisters of the same clan and with the same surname entered the palace, unless both of them were not high-ranking concubines, if one was a high-ranking concubine, the other must be of a lower rank, not to mention that it was Empress Yuan now.
"Empress Yuan... wasn't it said... that she died in the cold palace?" Qu Moying was silent for a moment, then asked again.
At this time, there were only the two of them. Ji Hai and Li Quan went to the front early and did not see any guards. The long mountain road was winding, and only the two of them seemed to be the only companions.
When you look up, you will see the boundless mountains; when you look down, you will see temples rising and falling.
Being in such an environment will inexplicably make people let go of something. Some words that would not have been spoken before will actually come out at such a time.
The tall ice wall even showed signs of melting. Before Qu Moying knew it, the ice wall was no longer as tall and solid as before!
Facing such a mountain, facing such a mountain road
Human beings are actually very small. Even if they are so small that they don’t exist, this mountain will still be barren and this mountain road will still be so winding!
"It's in the cold palace... The cold palace is very deserted. There's no one there. Even the palace servants who used to serve me are now gone. As for the others, they were taken away long ago." Pei Yuanjun said, his eyes cold and hostility flashing in them.
"The two above... are they the ones who once served Empress Yuan?" Qu Moying asked, looking at Pei Yuanjun's handsome face.
"Yes, they are all dead, leaving only these two close ones." Pei Yuanjun said, his eyebrows slightly raised, his beautiful eyes cold, "The cold palace is very desolate, I'm afraid that Empress Yuan will be cold until her death! I don't know what she was thinking, she actually thought of offering this spirit tablet on the top of the mountain..."
The words disappeared into the air and dissipated in the wind.
"Maybe... maybe Empress Yuan resents the Emperor..." Qu Moying thought about it carefully before speaking, looking up at Shan Lian behind her. She actually didn't know why Empress Yuan did this.
Few people talked about the affairs of Empress Yuan, and Ji Hanyue didn't know much either. She only knew that Empress Yuan and the Emperor were originally in love with each other, but later Empress Yuan's family was involved in the Rebellion of the Three Kings, and during this period, Empress Yuan got into trouble again and was banished to the cold palace.
After that, he never came out again...
Pei Yuanjun's hand fell down and held Qu Moying's hand. Qu Moying's hand was very small, while his was very big and warm. Holding Qu Moying's cold little hand, the warmth slowly slid from his hand into his heart.
Neither of them spoke.
Qu Moying's breathing had stabilized. She had originally raised her head, but when she saw Pei Yuanjun remained silent, she lowered her head, and he held her slender waist, almost nestling in his arms.
His arms were warm too.
"From now on, you are the only one for me!" The voice with a sigh was right beside his ear, very soft, so soft that Qu Moying almost thought it was an auditory hallucination. When he wanted to listen again, the voice had dissipated in the air, leaving no trace.
My heart skipped a beat with inexplicable excitement.
"After we go back... the decree will come down." Pei Yuanjun's voice became clearer. He held Qu Moying in his arms, and his voice was a little ethereal.
Qu Moying did not respond, but slowly raised his hand that was placed on the side and slowly placed it on Pei Yuanjun's strong waist. There was a hint of hesitation, but in the end it still landed steadily on his waist.
She blinked, and blinked again, a hint of sober shyness flashing in her watery eyes.
She was actually awake the whole time, wasn't she
After she got back on her feet, she kept warning herself to stay sober, and kept telling herself that she could only rely on herself. She could walk on the edge of a knife with every step, but she couldn't let herself be confused.
If one of them is not sober, there will be no recovery, she can’t make the bet!
All she has is this reborn body. In fact, she has nothing, no father, no mother, no brothers or sisters!
Only by erecting a high wall of ice can you make your heart colder and harder, and of course, see more clearly what you want and what you should do.
She shouldn't ask for anything extravagant.
Her slender body already carries too much, but she has to continue carrying it, wanting to be stronger and harder.
Her fragility is just her appearance. She doesn't think her heart is soft, nor does she feel that only the spring breeze can blow through her heart.
But now, she lives
Ran took the initiative, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile, very pure and also very dazed, appeared on her face.
Her hands still did not relax as she responded to Pei Yuanjun's hug, her eyes slightly reddened. Even the coldest walls can sometimes make one unable to control their emotions.
I don’t know when it started, it could be before, or it could be now, now there are only him and her on this mountain path.
This vast world no longer seemed to be filled with her alone...
The dark color in Pei Yuanjun's sleepy eyes slowly faded away, revealing a lot of tenderness. He looked at her, the corners of his handsome lips slightly raised, and a trace of tenderness surged in his heart.
He has always been unfeeling, even bloodthirsty. Even though he sometimes behaves dignified and elegant, in fact, it is his violent temper that always accompanies him.
He always knew what he wanted and how to get it, but when it came to the girl in front of him, he hesitated again and again, and thought a lot before deciding whether to retreat or advance.
The chess piece in his hand was originally going to nail his opponent to death when it finally fell. It means that at that moment, only others and chess pieces will be burned, which has nothing to do with him. He can sit alone on the fishing platform and slowly set the bait!
But he gradually discovered that he was unwilling to let go of this chess piece.
Since you don't want to let go, it's his!
He has always been decisive and paranoid, and he doesn't hesitate to use tricks.
The people he likes will naturally be given the best he can. His people do not need to give way to anyone else. Even if someone else is better or more suitable, to Pei Yuanjun, he is just an outsider.
He lowered his thin lips and kissed Qu Moying's cheek gently, with a gentleness that he himself didn't intend, and then kissed her again, this time with a clearer target. The light cherry lips had regained some pink color, looking even more tempting and delicious...
After a long while, the two let go and continued to hug each other. Qu Moying's face was shy. If Pei Yuanjun hadn't held her tightly, she would have fallen down.
Pei Yuanjun did not speak either. The mountain breeze was very gentle, but even with that, there was always warmth flowing between the two of them.
"Are you... okay?" After a long while, Qu Moying finally found his voice.
She knew that she was not the emperor's legal wife, and Pei Yuanjun's action might have offended the emperor.
"Are you worried about me?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows and pushed Qu Moying away slightly to look at the expression on her face.
"No, I'm just afraid that when the emperor punishes me, I will be implicated." Qu Moying said seriously. Only the evasive look in her eyes revealed that her words were insincere.
"No problem!" Pei Yuanjun laughed happily, and stretched out his hand to gently massage the top of her head. "It's just a position of Princess of Yun County. How could the emperor punish me for such a position?"
Although he said it lightly, Qu Moying was still a little worried. She bit the corner of her lip lightly, feeling that this matter was not simple. If the position of the principal wife was easy to decide, why couldn't Miss Liu get what she wanted
But it’s hard to explain this in a short time.
"Okay, let's go down the mountain first. The wind is quite strong. If it blows for a while, we will be frozen." Pei Yuanjun said, slowly taking out the veil from his sleeve and carefully tying it on Qu Moying. He walked beside her, blocking some of the wind for her with his tall body, and slowly walked down the mountain holding her hand...
