I looked at him without saying a word.?        ??

"Or, you and I have nothing to say?"

Hearing his words, I stood up and knelt down at him, saying, "Miyi's wife pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor."

After saying that, he kowtowed.

Pei Yuanhao sat there, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at me kowtowed and stood up. After a while, he said slowly in a low voice: "I understand what you mean. You can only say this to the emperor; you have nothing to say to me, right?"

I lowered my head and didn't speak.

He looked at me, and after a while, he said, "Do you still hate me?"

"Don't dare."

"Don't dare?" He slowly stood up and walked to me. Although I didn't dare to look up, I could still feel his eyes looking at me with concentration. The concentration made people slightly frightened, and his breathing was heavy and long, blowing on my face, as if a hand was brushing by: "Do you really dare not? Or not?"

“…!”

Although I was shocked, I was not too surprised. He could see through the deepest part of people's hearts just like in the past. In front of him, everything about me seemed to be invisible.

At this time, I simply let go and slowly raised my head to look at him: "No."

He seemed a little surprised when he heard these two words.

After a moment of shock, he calmed down. His dark eyes seemed to flash with uncertain light because of the swaying candlelight. After looking at me for a long time, he slowly stretched out his hand, and the hot temperature scattered in the palm of his palm, stroking my face.

As soon as I felt his body temperature on my cold cheeks, I felt like I was stabbed by a needle, and I quickly took a step back and avoided his touch.

His hands froze there.

"Prince, please forgive me."

The hand stopped in the air. I don’t know if it was because it was too cold or for other reasons, my fingers were trembling slightly, and even my joints were white. After a while, he slowly said, “Are you still hating me?”

“…”

"Hate me to throw you into prison? Or do I hate me to ignore your life or death, or—" He glanced at me, and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "Are you still jealous of her?"

She - of course it's Nangong Lizhu.

It turned out that he thought I was jealous of Nangong Lizhu.

Thinking of this, I don’t know why it’s a bit funny, but of course I won’t really laugh out loud. I lowered my head and said softly: “The civilian woman was born in this world, and no one let me down, and I have never let anyone down. How can I say jealousy?”

After saying this, the room suddenly became quiet, and there was no sound of the wind. His breathing was so clear, so heavy that it rang in his ears, and it seemed to suppress something.

In fact, my fingers trembled even harder than him.

It is a lie to say that he is not afraid. I have been afraid since he appeared. I was so scared that it was so difficult to breathe. I was so scared that my heartbeat hurt every time. Although he was not as I expected, as soon as he saw me, he was so angry that he sent me to prison for torture, or retaliated against Liu San'er, the more I was like this, the more I was afraid.

His moodiness is never predictable. I don't even know what undercurrents are hidden behind his calmness, so be careful when speaking every sentence, because I don't know which sentence or which word will anger him.

And now I can no longer afford to lose.

At this moment, he suddenly smiled.

It seemed like a ray of sunshine suddenly dropped from the ice surface, and the chill suddenly disappeared, and his cold face became more warm. He sat back and pointed to the chair opposite and said to me: "Sit."

I sat down obediently.

"What a 'no one to let me down, I've never let anyone down'." He said, looking up at me: "I just didn't expect that you actually married a fisherman. At the beginning, I thought you were just a joke."

Finally, I still have to talk about this.

My face changed slightly, and I couldn't help but recall what I said to Yuer the night before leaving the palace. It was just a joke, but I didn't expect that one word would become a precept.

And he, to this day, still remembers it.

I looked at him with some trembling.

"Is he good to you?"

"……good."

“How good?”

"Very..." I thought about it and said, "It's pretty good."

"So, you like him very much."

"..." I glanced at him and didn't dare to speak.

He raised his glass and put it under his nose to smell it. Perhaps because of the smell of the wine, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a curve of a smile, and said, "It's not only you, but I actually like him very much. It's rare that he is so motivated, not a vocal person who follows the crowd, but has some brains. Unfortunately, he doesn't read much, otherwise he will have some achievements."

I was very careful about his previous words, but this sentence was really unexpected. I looked up at him in shock, and saw him smiling faintly without any cold attitude or joking expression. Speaking of which, I also heard Liu Saner say that they were able to talk, and he had never praised anyone like this.

Thinking of this, my heart relaxed slightly: "Thank you for your praise from the emperor."

"Is it because of him?"

This sentence suddenly came, and the expression on my face froze. I raised my head in surprise. Pei Yuanhao had already finished a glass of wine, held the glass in his hand, looked at me, and slowly said, "It's because of him, you don't even hate you anymore?"

My heart suddenly became nervous again.

I don't know why he asked this, but Liu San'er had to answer every word carefully. I hurriedly said, "No."

"Oh? Not because of him? Why is that?"

“…”

"From when did you start, you don't even hate you?"

When will it start...

when……

I don’t know why, but when I heard this, I was a little dazed. The past came like a tide. I watched myself standing at the bow of the boat, just like now, looking at him, the world is like a cloud, everything is like yesterday, but my mood is different.

I said softly: "When the civilian woman jumped off the boat."

He was suddenly shocked, as if he was shocked, and suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at me.

"At that time, the civilian woman had figured it out."

"What did you figure it out?"

Looking back at that time, I stood at the bow of the boat and showed the quietest smile to him. At that time, I said softly: "Everyone has his own shackles. Maybe it is because he seeks but has no gain, or because he cannot get it. No matter how powerful a person has, how noble his identity or how meticulous his thoughts are, he is just a pitiful person in front of his feelings."

At that time, when I watched him let Nangong Lizhu go, I understood everything.

He couldn't even bear to hurt her a little, there was no imprisonment, no imprisonment, no means to surrender, or even forced to stay. It was just because the person was Nangong Lizhu, so he let her go and let her go back to the person she loved. Only those who have given their sincerity will understand this mood.

He is just a poor person.

I, Nangong Lizhu, and even Pei Yuanchen are the same. No one can escape from the face of feelings. Whether it is scarred or crying, what I want is to be able to stay by the person I love.

From that time on, I no longer hated.

I no longer hate him for the slap he slapped me for Nangong Lizhu, no longer hate him for throwing me into prison, and even those tortures that made me worse than death, because I saw everything clearly and understood everything.

At this time, I looked up at Pei Yuanhao, but I found an almost uncontrollable anger on his face, his eyes were bloodshot and red. I stared at the wine glass in my hand, as if I wanted to see a hole in the wine glass.

Maybe, he thought of Nangong Lizhu again.

After all, that woman was a gap that could not be filled in his heart and an eternal injury.

At this time, I didn't dare to speak anymore, so I could only sit quietly, but he slowly moved his eyes to my face. For some reason, maybe because his eyes were red, and he looked at people like a dormant beast, trying to swallow people. Even the voice of his speech was a strange hoarseness, as if he was suppressing something fiercely.

"So, are you planning to talk to him?"

“…”

"Yeah?"

“…”

I gritted my teeth, and finally stood up and knelt down at him: "Please help the emperor!"

I know very well that if he wants to do anything to me and Liu Saner, it is just a word. He doesn't have to pay any price to make me make life worse than death if he wants to punish. I have no bargaining chips to negotiate with him. I just hope that he can give me a little pity, a little compassion, and a way to live.

He looked at me silently, without any expression on his face, and he could not tell what he was thinking. Even the little light that had just appeared in his eyes was swallowed by the darkness at this time.

He suddenly smiled: "Are you scared? I will lock you up?"

My face suddenly turned pale.

"No wonder you are afraid. You are careful in everything you do now. Are you afraid that I will hurt you, or are you afraid that I will deal with him?"

When I heard this sentence, my heart jumped up, but the next moment, he said, "Okay, you go."

What?

I was stunned again and looked up at him, but saw that he didn't even look at me anymore. He seemed to be tired of something, so he lowered his head and poured himself a drink, poured a glass, and drank a glass, and never stopped for a while.

I gritted my teeth and kowtowed to him: "Thank you for your grace."

After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.

But as soon as he turned around, he heard his voice ringing behind him-

"etc!"

I was shocked and my breath was suffocated - what was he going to do? Or -
