Pei Se didn't answer this time, and said casually: "It's cold again, let's go back." Then there were footsteps, it was they who were going downstairs.It was only then that Fu Lang realized that he had been listening to the corner of the wall for a long time, and hurriedly walked down.The wooden pavilion couldn't hide the creaking sound, Jiang Wang walked a few steps down after hearing the sound, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw it was her: "Miss Fu?"

Fu Lang had no choice but to stand still, and obediently turned around to apologize: "I'm sorry, I thought there was no one here."

Jiang Wang smiled and said: "I'm sorry, there are few people in this mansion, and it's nothing to wander around when it's boring. Besides, Miss Fu is a guest of the princess."

Fu Lang understood that she was Pei Se's guest.She raised her head and looked at the two young men who were full of aura on the stairs, and once again felt the arrogance and alienation of Pei Se who had never appeared before her eyes and belonged to the superior.

Fu Lang still had a smile on his face, "Princess, I still have two things to ask you."

Pei Se was silent for a while, Jiang Wang said: "Miss Fu, why don't you talk about it when you go back?" Pei Se shook his head at him: "You go back first, I will go back by myself later."

Jiang Wang said: "It's windy up here, what should I do if I catch a cold?"

Pei Se smiled: "It's okay, you can go back."

The stairs were narrow, Fu Lang leaned against the handrail to make way for him, Jiang Wang continued nagging: "Miss Fu, it's better to come back earlier." Hearing Fu Lang's "hmm", Jiang Wang left.Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing, she licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, walked up a few more steps, and said softly, "Pei Se, I want to see Xuezong City."

Pei Se turned around and walked up again, reached the top floor, and pointed to the east.Following her fingertips, Fu Lang saw only a dark city, lifeless in the winter twilight.The high wind was blowing, and she was blown so hard that she sniffled her nose. Aside from Pei Se, she looked to the other side. The official road stretched westward and became wider and wider. It stopped in front of a vermilion city gate, which was Shenqiu City. .

Pei Se stood on her right side again at some point, and Fu Lang stared at her profile, which was an indescribably beautiful curve, her eyes were dark colored glass carved with ink mixed with rain lines, the best time to not smile like this nice.Fu Lang asked, "Pei Se, why is the city gate red?"

Pei Se cleared his throat before replying: "Because it is a city of commerce, the gates of the city are marked with vermilion, and this is the rule all over the world."

Fu Lang let out an "oh" and asked again: "Can you stop besieging the city?"

Only then did Pei Se turn her face to look at her, and Fu Lang suddenly said, "Do you know that I want to ask this?"

Pei Se turned back to look at a certain place in the west, and said indifferently: "I don't know, but I didn't expect you to care so much."

Fu Lang didn't know what to say, so he followed her to look at the vermilion city gate for a while, wondering what it would look like when it snowed.Pei Se said again: "Fu Lang, it's still the same reason. I have done a lot of things in the world, you just don't know. If you don't understand, I can't help it. As I said earlier, I don't want to change places. You must be able to do better than others.”

Fu Lang always thought that Pei Se was benevolent and different from others. It turned out that Pei Se would do such a thing after being forced into a desperate situation.It was only today that I realized that the distance between Pei Se and herself was so great that it was far from something that could be ambiguously said.Originally, there was nothing wrong with this, the princely clan was not on the same journey as the common people.The innocent and wronged Pei Se in the past turned out to be just an illusion. Fu Lang was not sad, but felt that her current appearance was very strange.

Pei Se was probably very cold. Seeing that she didn't speak, she urged in a hoarse voice: "This is the first one? What's the second one?"

Fu Lang actually didn't know how to ask the second question. He lowered his head and thought for a while before he asked, "Does Jiang Wang know about our affairs?"

Pei Se suddenly said, "He doesn't know, those things were just talked about in Pingyang for a few days."

Fu Lang nodded, "...That's good. I've thought about it. I can't help you now, and I'll hold you back. You made no mistake in choosing this way. Don't blame yourself. When you return to Pingyang , I will..."

Pei Se interrupted her: "Fu Lang." Seeing that Fu Lang was a little surprised, she continued to say in a cold voice, "Jiang Wang and I are not like that. Fu Lang, I owe you a lot, but fortunately It's not too late before the Six Rites are completed, let's forget it."

Fu Lang distinguished: "I didn't mean that, I meant when you returned to Pingyang... No, Sese, don't..." She still spoke sharply, but in fact she didn't know what she wanted to say.All her thoughts were disturbed by Pei Se's few words, Fu Lang sniffled again, she reached out to wipe it off, only to feel the tears all over her face.

Pei Se sighed, "Fu Lang, don't cry. Think about it, after all, I am the eldest daughter of the clan, how could I not get married? Just let go... I didn't think well before, and I delayed you for a long time. I apologize to you, okay?"

Fu Lang didn't think so, but his mind was full of thoughts, and thinking that she was really going to get married, tears kept pouring out.Ever since she met Pei Se, Pei Se has been busy with political affairs almost every day, so busy that she has never thought about what Pei Se's original life should be like.A clan princess in her early twenties should use her will to choose the prince or prince she likes, either to build a mansion in the capital of the country, or to lead a city in a fiefdom.That's the way it should be.

In the twilight, Fu Lang saw that the person opposite seemed to be pulling out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, she grabbed Pei Se's wrist and blurted out, "Why do you have the final say on my affairs? ? Aren't you... just bullying me to like you?"

Pei Se stared at her fixedly, then closed his eyes.Her face is slightly thin, but her eyebrows are long and her temples are incomparably precious and harmonious. When she closes her eyes, she can hide her haggardness, exhaustion, and other emotions.Fu Lang remembered that her wrist was still injured, and when she loosened her hand, Pei Se withdrew her finger and pointed to her heart, "Fu Lang, you made a mess of me here."

Fu Lang didn't know what to say. To Pei Se, she was indeed a misfortune rather than a blessing. In the past year, Pei Se had been suffering from serious illnesses and minor disasters, and now she has become the target of public criticism.Pei Se lowered her hands, opened her eyes, still calm and peaceful, and said slowly: "Fu Lang, you are right, you will be very unlucky to be around me, you were so good before, and you are so bad now Si Tianjian said that I was a disaster, but he was not wrong, I am the fate of a lonely family, and it is not a loss to use Zhu Yan—"

Fu Lang didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, "I'm just kidding, Tse..." Pei Se pushed her hand away, and Fu Lang's face was as smooth and cold as fat jade in the cold wind, She took a closer look, and said slowly, "Fu Lang, don't call me that in the future. I owe you a lot, but fortunately, it's not too late before the Six Rites, so let's forget it."

She said all of this, but Fu Lang couldn't speak anymore.Pei Se watched the water on her face being quickly dried by the strong north wind, leaving chapped red marks, then frowned and coughed twice, "If you can't stand the siege, don't watch it. As long as You let go."

She brought up the matter of the siege again, and the anger in Fu Lang's chest suddenly rose, as if it was the night of fighting in Changyu's secret room.She was taken aback by her own thoughts, and she wondered if it was because Pei Se's murderous aura was no different from that of the empress Chang Yu at that time.
