"Miao'er." He stretched out his hands to hold my cheeks, and stared at me with a good eye, and his eyes were so close to him that he was truly a 'star in the palm of his hand'.
If it had been two months ago, I would have thought narcissistically and joyfully: He actually likes me so much! If a husband is like this, what can a woman ask for, why should I be rough for him? But now, I just feel like a pig's head that has been stewed and placed on the cutting board. At this moment, the Sixth Prince is not thinking about whether to cut it up and fry it, or take it whole for sacrifice.
I remember that when I was a child, there were always guests coming and going in my family. If I saw me, I would always show a warm and pleasant look on my face and say: "Is this the little miss of the Shen family? She is really cute and cute. At first glance, she is a beautiful woman. Eight years old, I don't know how many miles the carriage and horses begging for the son's family will travel through the long street!"
I was only about five or six years old at the time, and although I couldn't figure out what a 'begging son' was, I still generally knew that they praised me for being beautiful. Which little girl doesn't like being beautiful, and it's natural to hear it. When my grandfather was still alive, he always called me 'Mao Niu Niu', because my hair was thin and yellow at that time, and I couldn't make a braid, so I could only tie it into a fluffy little tug, so, When I picked Kua, I naturally wanted to show off to my grandfather, telling him not to underestimate me. Unexpectedly, grandpa just hugged me and smiled: "Where is our hairy Niumei, is our Shen family's Yinzimei!"
I was not convinced at that time, I just thought that I had seen this silver, the white light was bright and silver, and the bald forehead was shiny, how could it be better than me, so I replied: "I am more beautiful than the silver."
Grandpa flicked my forehead and shook his head, "Miao'er, remember, as a member of the Shen family, you can't compare to the silver. In the eyes of the world, there is silver first, and then the Shen family. ."
When I was young, my grandfather’s words made me utterly incomprehensible, but inexplicably remembered it very firmly. One year in prison was like a year. After that, I didn’t know whether I was ugly or good-looking. If I asked others, I would definitely ask Ten, I wish there were eleven people willing to jump out and say that the eldest lady of the Shen family is as beautiful as a goddess. I can marry ugly.
I remember Grandpa's words until I was 19, but I didn't want to make trouble for Pei and Song after I got married twice, so I gradually forgot about it. Two months ago, when Pei Yanzhen refused to marry in court, he said that it was even more so. He completely forgot about it, and for a while, he actually chatted that the young girl had pure love for the matter of the mirror, and she saw herself as more beautiful than silver and led the wolf into the room.
You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't forget your grandfather's ancestral teachings. Now that he didn't run and was caught by the Sixth Prince, this was the retribution.
I was thinking about it, but the Sixth Prince held my face and kissed my forehead affectionately, and then he sighed and buried his head on my shoulder, his arms were holding me tightly, and my whole body began to tremble slightly. .
"Miao'er, you promised to never leave me. You promised."
I originally wanted to say, I didn't expect the prince to be so simple, and you would believe what the girl said, but then I thought about it, now that the whole family is on the way to escape, if the sixth prince gets angry and sends people to hunt them down, then it's not a problem. All right. Then he made a vague "hmm" sound.
After I said "um", I suddenly felt that my shoulders sank, and then there was a long silence. It's just that the time the enemy didn't move was a little longer. I just felt that my shoulders became heavier and heavier during the silent process. At the end, I couldn't bear it and moved a little bit. I didn't want the weight on my shoulders to follow. Slowly sliding down my shoulders with my movements, I turned my head to look, but seeing the Sixth Prince's eyes tightly closed, he had fainted at some point.
I breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to pull my hand to support him and lay him flat on the couch, but I didn't expect one hand to be firmly grasped in the palm of his hand. It took a lot of effort to make him lie down.
The setting sun shines brightly on the window lattice and falls on his face. The evening wind is slowly rising. I leaned against the carved bedpost and looked at him carefully. A bit tired, but it still makes people feel that if these eyes are opened, it must be a gentle style of jade and smoke in the distant mountains, dark water, quiet sun, and those slightly curved and thin lips, with a face like white jade, It also makes people feel as if they are always affectionate and elegant. However, who would have thought that such a gentle, elegant and affectionate face concealed what kind of calculations of the city and the government...
I stretched out my hand to break apart the fingers of his left hand, which he held tightly to me, but he couldn't break it at all. At the time, he suddenly discovered that there was a thin layer of cocoon on the tiger's mouth on his left hand. He had never noticed it before, but now it was a bit shocking to see it in the background of the setting sun.
Yes, how can such a person who calculates day and night to usurp the throne be a weak person! The right hand holds the pen and the left hand dances the sword. The best martial arts all-rounder. Looking back now, it is no wonder that he never used his left hand to be attached to me in the past. I only thought that his right hand was easy to handle, but it turned out to be the reason.
I can't blame others, it's my own stupidity.
I know why he is so afraid of my death. Although the wealth of the Shen family is huge, it is not half as good as the fortune left by my mother, the Lu family. My mother handed over the secrets of the Lu family to me at the end of my life. Wealth sinks into the sea and no one knows where to find it. The emperor of this dynasty was in a daze, and it was estimated that there was not much silver tael in the treasury. Now that the Sixth Prince has changed his dynasty, it is when the silver tael is in short supply, so how can he let this money go.
Either copy or kill! Either copy or kill!
Pei Yanzhen, you are so cruel!
I stretched out half of my body with difficulty, reached the dressing mirror with one hand, and gently opened the small drawer. A row of hairpins and hairpins that I had never worn before were neatly arranged, gold, silver, jade, tortoiseshell, and various materials. I picked a slender silver hairpin and tried it on my forearm. At that moment, a drop of bright red blood burst out of the cocoon on the sharp hairpin tip, and it was sharp enough!
I took the silver hairpin and slowly sat back at the head of the bed, and unbuttoned Pei Yanzhen's front with one hand. It was an easy task, but I was sweating. Finally, his chest was presented in front of me without any obstruction. The scars I've never seen are crisscrossed on the original fine porcelain-like skin, but the skin on the left chest is as white as before, with slight ups and downs. I know that there is something underneath that is moving calmly and rhythmically. With a bloody invitation, that is the heart of the Sixth Prince.
It was so strange that we held each other unbreakably with one hand, but forced me to raise the silver hairpin inch by inch with the other. I watched the silver hairpin turn into a splendid golden hairpin under the afterglow of the setting sun, and slowly and calmly projected a little light from the pointed tip onto his heart with dying brilliance... Kill him, and then let me The family escaped bad luck. Killing him can relieve the pain in my heart. Killing him can bring back my Xiaoer. Three thousand karmic obstacles in a single thought... but... no but!
I closed my eyes and swiped the hairpin with all my strength to make that last stab, but when I got close to the center, I suddenly saw what was carved on the hairpin's tail - a peony in full bloom. It was so dazzling that it pierced my eyes, and a burst of great sadness and grief hit my heart inexplicably. It seemed that the silver hairpin had already entered my heart at this moment, and my hands were shaking and I was in the wrong direction.
Immediately afterwards, before there was time to react, the hand holding the hairpin was firmly grasped, and a slight sound of bones was heard, and it was cut back behind him, thinking that the carpal bone had been dislocated.
A single thought leads to life, and a single thought leads to death. In the blink of an eye, I have already failed.
When he opened his eyes, he suddenly caught his eye. It was Pei Yanzhen's eyes that were as dark as lacquer. Shen Ru was the deepest and darkest night, devouring all things without any waves.
"You want to kill me? You actually want to kill me!" Pei Yanzhen looked at me coldly with the silver hairpin on his face, his face alternated with anger and anger, "Three days and three nights, the first thing you did when you woke up was to use me as a gift to you. Things come to take my life! Why, Miaoer?"
"Don't you know why, my lord?" I looked up at him and whispered softly, "either copy or punish..."
Pei Yanzhen's face flickered, and his face became cold in an instant.
My heart was icy cold, and my last hope fell into the abyss.
Suddenly, he forced him to come close to me, nose to nose, "Could it be that... you were prepared to take medicine for three days to cheat death?!" He turned his head and shouted, "Zhan Yue!"
A shadowy figure entered in response, "What is your command from the lord?"
"Quickly go to the Shen family cemetery, open the grave and open the coffin! Give me a corpse and bring it back, and I want to see if all of them can be resurrected from the dead!" .
"Sixth Prince!" I wanted to raise my hands to block, but I forgot that my hands were tied, my body was weak, and I fell into his arms, feeling dizzy for a while, and lost my mind.
When I woke up again, I was already lying on the bed, Pei Yanzhen sat on the side of the bed, glanced at me lightly, and leaned down with a bowl of gruel from the small table by the bedside, actually wanting to feed me.
I grieved and turned my face away.
He didn't insist, just put the rice soup into his mouth with the spoon. Suddenly, he lowered his face and pressed my lips. Before he could react, a sip of the mild rice fragrance was poured into my mouth.
Before I could clench my teeth and bite him hard, he was sitting upright again in a blink of an eye.
There was a light knock on the door, "Your Highness."
"Come in."
Zhan Yue's shadow generally scraped into the house, knelt in front of Pei Yanzhen, "Report to your lord. Your subordinate is negligent. In the Shen family cemetery, the coffin was pryed, and the five corpses of the aunt and aunt sank were gone, and a lot of valuables were also lost in the burial. object."
The tension in my head loosened for a moment.
"Very good." Pei Yanzhen stretched out his hand, gently wiped off the little bit of rice soup left on the corner of his lips with his left thumb, then retracted his hand and put the spoon in the bowl for a while, and put the bowl back on the bowl with a "da" sound. , said slowly, "Miao'er, who's plan is this? Could it be... yours?"
I smiled and said, "Your Highness thinks too much. In this world, not everyone is as full of plans as His Highness. But in this world, everyone thinks about the wealth of the Shen family, such as..." I paused and continued: " Digging graves and robbing tombs abounds, cough... cough... So I guess it must be done by tomb thieves, what does it have to do with me?"
"Oh? I've heard of tomb robbery, but I've never heard of robbery of corpses." Pei Yanzhen stared at me with heavy eyes.
"What's so strange about this, the lord also detained my body for three days and three nights." I blurted out and replied.
Pei Yanzhen sank like water, the waves were not turbulent, but the storm was at the bottom.
"Shen Miao!"
