Married to a nemesis

He knew that Pei Qian didn't want to say this, but he couldn't protect Pei Qian now, so he could only use this excuse to call Li Zhimao over, and then let Li Zhimao trust Pei Qian and take him back.

Although Pei Qian couldn't be protected forever, letting him stay next to Li Zhimao temporarily was the safest way for now.

With Pei Qian by his side, he could only watch him suffer. Yuan Ji Nian didn't want to see it, and he didn't want Pei Qian to suffer so much.

"Is what Mr. Pei said true?" Pei Qian's words brought infinite surprises to Li Zhimao, at least the beauty was willing to believe him.

Unsurprisingly, Li Zhimao ignored Yuan Jinian's eyes and walked up to Pei Qian in a few steps, only gradually noticing the whip wounds all over Pei Qian's body.

The bloodstains were like roses blooming beside the clear bamboo. The coquettishness and elegance collided together, creating a more wonderful visual experience. He pulled Pei Qian's thin and clean wrist and looked at the red ones drawn by the chains. He couldn't hide the pain in his eyes, and there was some shock mixed in, "Xu Zuo tortured Mr. Pei?"

Pei Qian stood up when he approached, facing Li Zhimao's touch, he subconsciously took a step back.

Li Zhimao thought he was afraid of him because he was injured, so he stepped forward and took his hand again, trying to comfort him.

While holding the beauty's hand, he said indignantly: "Xu Zuo is a reckless man, he ignored my orders, and even kidnapped the two of you without authorization. It really made Mr. Pei suffer."

The curtain was opened again, and the visitor spoke in a rough and loud voice behind Li Zhimao:

"Don't the general know about this? The last time I asked them to take them away, the general was still there. I also asked the general. The general didn't say a word. I remember old Ding said that if you don't speak, you will acquiesce."

"Sophistry!" Li Zhimao turned around angrily, his face flushed, and his usual calm momentum disappeared completely at this moment, "I said, since His Royal Highness and Mr. Pei have arrived in the Song Dynasty, they are our guests. We must treat each other well." Take care, but you treat the military order like nothing, and abused the lynching, hurting the two guests. As the governor, if you don’t set an example, according to the military order, you should receive a hundred lashes."

Pei Qian leaned lazily against the bed rail and smiled coldly.

Yuan Ji Nian glanced at him, and soon knew what he was laughing at.

He was laughing at Li Zhimao's words.

Xu Zuo took them away in front of Li Zhimao. It is impossible for Li Zhimao not to know what Xu Zuo is going to do.

Li Zhimao may not be able to find the place where Pei Qian is being held, but everyone in the camp knows where he is being held. If Li Zhimao really treated them as guests as he said, he would not use the excuse of ignorance to treat him. He didn't care about it, and secretly allowed Xu Zuo to do whatever he wanted.

Now Li Zhimao appeared here with a red face, blaming Xu Zuo for all the crimes with a righteous face, but he just wanted to write himself off and not let Pei Qian know what he was up to.

"Didn't General Li allow me to do this?" Sensing Li Zhimao's sudden and completely different attitude, Xu Zuo asked in bewilderment, and when he was about to help him recall the situation, Li Zhimao stopped him.

"But I didn't let you..." Do something to Mr. Pei.

Li Zhimao almost said what he was thinking, stomped his feet, and turned to look at Pei Qian.

The moment he turned his head, Pei Qian's expression had changed from contempt to a wounded little pitiful, with her head bowed down, she was extremely lonely, and the red mark left by the poison mark was showing on her neck.

"What is this on Mr. Pei's neck?" Li Zhimao approached him again, touching his neck with trembling fingers.

"General Li should ask Dudu Xu about this." Pei Qian evaded, pulling up the front of her clothes to try to cover the scar, her words seemed to be in a temper tantrum, which aroused Li Zhimao's heartache again.

Li Zhimao looked at Xu Zuo as if he was being held accountable.

Xu Zuo's fierce eyes passed through Li Zhimao's shoulders and fell on Pei Qian, and he raised his voice angrily, "It's not your turn to speak yet."

Li Zhimao blocked Xu Zuo's view of Pei Qian: "Another ten lashes."

What he did could not be understood, Xu Zuo was even more annoyed, before he turned and left he said tirelessly: "A young general gave this medicine to General Li, it was in the general's tent, I took it out of the general's tent a few days ago. "

After he left angrily, Li Zhimao turned back to Pei Qian for a while to express his condolences.

Yuan Ji Nian sat on the bed and watched.

But he was not in a bad mood, because when Li Zhimao was talking to Pei Qian, Pei Qian kept looking at him, and he was the only one in those bright and clear eyes.

The camp tent was opened again, Xu Zuo came back again, this time he even arrested a person.

The man shrunk his neck and begged for mercy under Xu Zuo's hand. When he looked up and saw Li Zhimao, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground: "The villain is wrong, Governor Xu, General Li let the villain go."

Xu Zuo grabbed his back collar and forced him to raise his head: "This is the person who presented the medicine. If General Li has any questions, just ask him. If General Li doesn't believe what I say, he should believe what he says. Bar."

"What's the matter with this poison..." Li Zhimao looked down at him and asked.

"Who gave you this poison?" Yuan Ji Nian asked after seeing the same red mark on the man's neck.

Hearing his question, Li Zhimao felt novelty for a moment, turned his head in doubt, his brows sank because of the thoughts that floated up: "Your Highness suspects that someone did it deliberately?"

"He has the same mark as Jiu Yu on his neck." Yuan Jinian pointed to the man kneeling on the ground, and there was a snow lotus-shaped mark on his neck.

"A few days ago...a man in white with a gentle smile forced me to give this medicine to General Li."

"Is it similar to Mr. Pei's figure, about this tall?" Yuan Jinian stood up and compared in his ear.

"Yes, yes!" The man nodded excitedly.

"Master Liu?" Pei Qian looked at Yuan Jinian.

Hearing this name, Xu Zuo seemed to have been mentioned when he was talking about beads, so he couldn't help but untied the beads around his waist, and asked, "Is it the person wearing this bead?"

The man on the ground saw the beads in his hand and became stuttering: "I...I remembered, he...his beads are indeed the same as Xu Dudu's..."

"Are you reading that right?" Xu Zuo grabbed the man's shoulder and brought the beads to his eyes.

The man was frightened by Xu Zuo's actions, his face turned pale and he said, "It should be...that's right."

"Then what effect will this poison have?" Li Zhimao turned back to the topic.

The young general lowered his head: "I heard from that person that both parties who are poisoned will feel unbearable heartache just by looking at it... This... this red mark is just a mark. If the mark is still there, it means that he has been poisoned." It’s still there, the darker the color, the heavier the poison.”

Yuan Ji Nian looked at Pei Qian again, and the snow lotus mark on his neck turned crimson as expected.

Li Zhimao hurriedly asked again: "Then how to cure this poison?"

"He said the poison would go away on its own only if the other person died."

Li Zhimao looked back at Yuan Jinian, turned around slowly, grabbed his arm angrily, and pulled him to stand up: "Is there no other way?"

When the young general was pulled up, his legs were shaking, and his voice was like a leaf falling in the wind: "It seems to be gone."

"Okay. Untie the chain." Li Zhimao pushed him away and looked at Xu Zuo who was standing aside.

Seeing his darkened face, Xu Zuo felt angry in his heart, reluctantly took out a key from his pocket and threw it to Li Zhimao, turned around and opened the curtain, and left with a whole body of upset.

"What are you going to do?" Li Zhimao asked behind him.

Xu Zuo kept walking, and he replied loudly after he was outside the tent, "Go and receive the punishment!"

"Mr. Pei, let's go back and think of a way. There must be a better way to detoxify." Li Zhimao helped him untie the lock ring on his wrist.

"Okay." When Li Zhimao lowered his head to unlock the lock ring for himself, Pei Qian looked elsewhere.

Yuan Ji Nian was thinking about the only way to detoxify, when he found a gaze that was firmly glued to his body.

After he followed that gaze, the owner of the gaze didn't look away, but smiled at him with his eyes bent, like a little fox.

Such a smile appeared on Pei Qian's face, but it made him look a lot closer. Yuan Ji Nian also suddenly had the urge to rub his head, pinch his face and make him smile at him. It hurts to get close to him, and he really might put this idea into practice.

After Li Zhimao untied Pei Qian's chain, he was about to untie Yuan Jinian's ankle again when Pei Qian held him back and shook his head.

"Since Mr. Pei is unwilling, then..." Li Zhimao threw the key on the bed, grabbed Pei Qian's wrist, and pulled him out.

Looking at their leaving figures, Yuan Ji Nian lay on his back on the bed, worrying about what would happen in the future.

After lying down for a while, suddenly the ankle chain rang, and there was a rustling sound from underneath.

Yuan Ji Nian sat up and looked down.

There was a figure in Tsing Yi squatting next to his legs, with hair loose on his back, holding a key to unlock the chains on his feet. The cold wrist touched his ankles from time to time, which aroused different feelings in his whole body.

"Jiuyu?"

The chain just happened to be undone, and Pei Qian raised her head in response, and slowly stood up from between his legs.After squatting for too long and standing too hastily, before his body recovered, he just stood up dizzy and fell into Yuan Ji Nian's arms again.

"Dizzy?" Yuan Jinian rubbed his hair, it felt soft and silky, and he thought of the cat lying in his arms again.

"Yeah." Pei Qian looked up at him in a daze, and stretched out her hand from his chest.

"No, I didn't do anything to apologize to you this time, don't pinch me anymore, I can't bear it." Yuan Jinian leaned back a little, thinking that he was going to pinch his neck again.

But unexpectedly, those hands touched his face.

Pei Qian helped him by the shoulders and climbed up. Yuan Jinian froze, without changing his face, secretly thinking about what tricks he was going to do again.

Pei Qian was facing him, the hand on his face was moved to the side of his face, and a few fingers raised his chin frivolously.

"You... haven't had a drink before." Yuan Ji Nian looked at him with eyes that were clearly sober, but he made such an intimate gesture to himself when no one else was around, it really didn't look like that It's An An's kindness.

He was still thinking, when Pei Qian approached him suddenly, breathing lightly and regularly on his face, he lowered his head to kiss those lips like a kiss.

"Can't we kiss without drinking?" After parting his lips, Pei Qian approached him with a smile again, "Smile."

Yuan Ji Nian smiled cooperatively at him, and was about to press his head to continue when Pei Qian got up from his arms.

When he was about to leave the tent, Pei Qian smiled at him, Yuan Ji Nian only saw that the pale color on that beautiful side face turned rosy.

Yuan Ji Nian touched his own lips that still had a little warmth, recalling his smile when he left.

After teasing, he ran away, which made him hot all by himself.
