I am a ruler in troubled times

"But..." Song Peiyu stared at Chong Yi with bright eyes, "Why are you not allowed to marry me?"

Chong Yi's already frowning eyebrows were even tighter, and he couldn't answer this question for a long time.

Song Peiyu had never felt that time passed so slowly, and she had never felt that her eyesight was so good that she could see the fluff on Chong Yi's face clearly.

In the end Chong Yi didn't say why, he repeated again, "You are not allowed to marry a wife."

The two stared at each other for a moment, neither of them willing to look away first.

Song Peiyu had countless thoughts in his mind, and suddenly smiled, and found a way for each other, "Your Highness is worried that after I get married, I will not be as effective as before in running errands for Your Highness?"

It's a pity that Chong Yi couldn't understand Song Peiyu's kindness. When he asked him why Song Peiyu was not allowed to marry a wife, he couldn't answer.

At this time, he answered without hesitation, "If you don't want to do it, just leave it to others, and you don't have to wrong yourself."

Song Peiyu's eyes moved when he heard the words, but he didn't continue what Chong Yi said.

On the contrary, as if he didn't understand the words, he said to himself, "The minister is not yet weak, and he only cares about family and country affairs. He has no personal relationship with children, and he has no intention of marrying a wife."

Chong Yi listened to Song Peiyu's words, and unconsciously moved Xiaotuanzi a little more.

Provoking the protest of Xiaotuanzi's dissatisfaction, they issued a 'fierce' cry.

Although Song Peiyu promised not to marry a wife according to his request, Chong Yi was not happy.

Before Chong Yi could figure out why he was not happy when he achieved his goal, Song Peiyu had already set his eyes on the white dumpling on Chong Yi's palm in surprise.

"This is a little tiger?" Song Peiyu exclaimed, originally he just wanted to use the white ball in Chong Yi's hand to divert the topic.

After discovering that Bai Tuanzi was not a rabbit, fox or kitten as he had thought, but a white tiger cub, he really put his mind on the white tiger cub.

Chong Yi squinted at Song Peiyu as if he wanted to touch the white tiger cub, but he didn't dare to drop his hand.He directly put the white dumpling on the palm of Song Peiyu's lap.

While holding Song Peiyu's stiff hand, he put it on the white tiger cub, and said, "It's a tiger cub that's only half a month old, and it's ready to be raised with careful care."

Song Peiyi felt the soft and furry touch under her hands, and her stiff body gradually eased, "Didn't you see the tigress?"

The cubs of this month should not have left their mother tigers to live alone.

Chong Yi shook his head, "I found this white tiger cub in the tree hole, the mother tiger should have been away for a long time."

In fact, if Chong Yi's ears were not outstanding, this white tiger cub would not have been discovered, and the final outcome would be nothing more than starving to death in an abandoned tree hole, or being taken away by other carnivores for a tooth sacrifice.

Song Peiyu didn't ask Chong Yi how he knew the tigress had been away for a long time.

Chong Yi can say this with certainty, naturally he has his reasons.

At the beginning, they would enter Mount Hua again, encountered an assassin, and fell into Qizhen all the way in a bumpy way. They just wanted to find auspicious luck and dedicate it to Emperor Yonghe before returning to Xianyang.

Unexpectedly, after going around for the first time in more than a year, when they were about to set off to return to Xianyang, Chong Yi really found a genuine auspicious sign.

Seeing that Song Peiyu really liked this white tiger, Chong Yi suddenly said, "This is a birthday present for this year."

Song Peiyu was stunned again.

Both his and Chong Yi's birthdays are on the sixth day of May.

He had announced earlier that he would use Qi Zhen as Chongyi's birthday gift this year, and with the help of Emperor Yonghe, he fulfilled his promise perfectly.

Chong Yi never said that he would give him a birthday gift, and Song Peiyu never expected to receive Chong Yi's birthday gift.

Knowing that he shouldn't ask any more questions, he should just change the subject and divert Chong Yi's attention, just like he said that he was not allowed to marry a wife.

Song Peiyu still asked in a strange way, "Is this a birthday present for me?"

Chong Yi nodded as a matter of course, "Last year Qingluan snatched the exotic cat that Sheng Tairan gave you, and I wanted Mr. An to find a better one for you. It's a pity that most of these little things are dull, not as good as that exotic cat. Cat. This season is when there are many cubs in the mountains, I wanted to find a cute and smart white fox for you, but I didn't expect to find a better one."

So... Chong Yi entered Yamamoto just to find him a birthday present?

Rather than just going hunting in the mountains, seeing a white tiger cub, he brought it back.

When Song Peiyu was in a daze, he suddenly felt the moist touch of his fingers. Looking down, the white tiger cub seemed to be hungry, and was licking his fingers with its barbed tongue.

Song Peiyu hurriedly cleaned up her flustered mood, and left the room in a hurry under the pretext of going to find food for the white tiger cub.

It wasn't until Song Peiyu stood in the yard and was blown on the face by the warm wind that Song Peiyu suddenly realized.

It was Chong Yi who came to his room to look for him, why did he run away?

Forget it, after running away, it is naturally impossible to go back.

Song Peiyu turned around calmly and went to look for Bo Yang to see the condition of the white tiger cub.

In the next few days, Song Peiyu was busy sorting out the account books of the strange goods city before leaving for Xianyang, planning the next operation mode of the Liulifang and soap shops in the strange goods city, and discussing with Murongjing about giving Chongyi [-] The private soldiers set the regulations and were very busy.

After seeing Chong Yi's cold face for several days, Lu Jihe finally found Song Peiyu in the original Shixiang Building, now the 'office building'.

At that time, Song Peiyu was checking the accounts.

Lu Jihe stood next to Song Peiyu and watched silently for a while, then suddenly said, "Did you quarrel with His Highness?"

Song Peiyu was not affected by Lu Jihe at all, her abacus was still crackling, and her hands were about to fly out of afterimages.

He kept his original posture, and said coldly, "Your Highness is a king, and I am a minister. How could I quarrel with Your Highness?"

"Heh" Lu Jihe sneered, he didn't believe a word, and said unrelentingly, "The two people who were originally inseparable lived in the same courtyard, and they couldn't speak a few words for several days, so it was not a quarrel. ?”

Song Peiyu's hand holding the pen trembled, and a cloud of stains immediately appeared on the clean and tidy ledger.

Seeing this, Song Peiyu looked at Lu Jihe reproachfully.

However, Lu Jihe remained unmoved, and even mercilessly exposed Song Peiyu's last disguise, "The following stewards counted the account books more than ten times before they dared to send them to you. You can check the accounts. If you need more If you start from the beginning, you don’t have to do all the management work below.”

'Snapped'

The ink-stained writing brush was slapped on the table, and the ink spots were scattered on Song Peiyu's light blue sleeves, but Song Peiyu had no time to take care of it.

He looked up at Lu Jihe, not hiding the deep disgust in his eyes at all.

Seeing Song Peiyu's reaction, Lu Jihe slowly unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and said firmly, "You really had a quarrel."

Song Peiyu's head hurt from Lu Jihe's self-talk, and she couldn't help asking, "Are you free to do? Why do you always think about these things?"

Lu Jihe dragged the chair and sat opposite Soong Peiyu, his eyes contained the same helplessness as Soong Peiyu, and the vicissitudes that Soong Peiyu couldn't understand, "Everything I think is there."

Song Peiyu was shocked by Lu Jihe's confident appearance, clasped his fists in both hands, got up and was about to leave.

A smart person is not scary. What is scary is that this person is not only smart, but also persistent, and he especially believes in the content of his own brain.

Song Peiyu thought that he couldn't persuade Lu Jihe to forget his brain supplements, so he had to do everything he could to stop providing Lu Jihe with new brain supplement materials.

However, Lu Jihe held Song Peiyu back. He raised his head to look at Song Peiyu, his eyes were full of inquiry, "Why are you arguing?"

OK, never ending, right?

Song Peiyu simply stopped, sat down on the chair again, and looked at Lu Jihe with a smile that was not a smile, "Why do you think that I have a relationship with His Highness that is not the same as a monarch?"

"Don't you guys have none?" Lu Jihe smiled.

Song Peiyu opened his mouth, but no words came out.

If Chong Yi had mentioned this matter to Lu Jihe before Chong Yi said that he would not let him get married, Song Peiyu would definitely tell Lu Jihe categorically, "He and Chong Yi have absolutely no friendship that surpasses that of a monarch and minister. What Mingjun and Xianchen said is Him and Chong Yi. '

But after Chong Yi said that he was not allowed to marry, these words suddenly became unspeakable.

Which family's Mingjun will control whether the virtuous ministers marry or not?

He didn't pay attention to the wives of the virtuous minister, but told him firmly that he was not allowed to marry.

Not to mention Lu Jihe, even Song Peiyu herself would not think that such a wise king and virtuous minister have a pure relationship.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Song Peiyu knew very well that these days he was deliberately looking for something to do for himself, and wanted to separate from Chongyi for a while.

He didn't want to completely distance himself from Chong Yi, but he just wanted to give himself enough space to think about whether the seemingly distorted relationship between him and Chong Yi could be rescued.

It was hard for him to gain Chong Yi's trust, and the opportunity to change Zhao's fate in the future will also be on Chong Yi.

No matter what happens, it is impossible for him to alienate Chongyi.

"Why do you think we have such a relationship?" Song Peiyu whispered.

Lu Jihe was about to say, 'Why do you keep saying this sentence over and over every time? '

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the seriousness on Song Peiyu's face that he had never seen before.

Lu Jihe's attitude also became serious.

Even if Chong Yi and Song Peiyu didn't have conflicts, before returning to Xianyang, he would chat with Chong Yi and Song Peiyu.

He can understand the love between Chongyi and Song Peiyu, and even reluctantly provide cover for the two of them.

But those people in Xianyang, especially Emperor Yonghe, would never accept the relationship between Chongyi and Song Peiyu.

First of all, the problem facing the two of them is that Chongyi has already, if his birthday is in Xianyang this year, he can hold the coronation ceremony.

After reaching the crown, the most important thing for Chong Yi is to marry a wife and have children, so as to continue the blood of Zhao's royal family.

At least until Chongyi has full wings and can really protect Song Peiyu, the relationship between them is best not to be complicated and let more people know.

The first step in hiding your feelings is to restrain your usual unbridled behavior.

Lu Jihe started when he accidentally saw Song Peiyu in pajamas in the East Palace Nuan Pavilion.

Soong Peiyu counted them one by one, their wanton behavior regardless of location or time.

When Song Peiyu first listened, her expression was quite relaxed, but the more she listened to the latter, her expression became more solemn.

The places where Lu Jihe misunderstood before can only be said to be accidents, and Song Peiyu also remembered the embarrassing scene and mood at the time.

But as the timeline passed, Song Peiyu didn't even have the slightest impression of what Lu Jihe said later.

This means that if Lu Jihe didn't mention it on purpose, Song Peiyu subconsciously didn't think there was any problem with those behaviors at all.

Sitting here as an audience at this time, Song Peiyu felt that the self and Chong Yi in Lu Jihe's mouth were indeed... weird...

When Lu Jihe said these things, he always paid attention to Song Peiyu's expression.

Seeing that Song Peiyu's face was getting more and more gray, Lu Jihe couldn't bear it. He always felt that he was the mallet that beat the mandarin ducks, and his voice weakened unknowingly until it disappeared completely.

The more Song Peiyu thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. She suddenly turned her head and stared at Lu Jihe intently.

Lu Jihe thought that Song Peiyu was so smart that he had already thought of what he was going to say today, so his complexion became worse and worse.

Silently accepted Song Peiyu's gaze.

Song Peiyu's eyes not only did not restrain, but became more and more weird.

Lu Jihe really couldn't bear the weird silence, he cleared his throat and said, "What are you looking at?"

Song Peiyu was in the worst moment of mood, thinking that Lu Jihe had long believed that he and Chongyi had that kind of relationship anyway, and didn't think about wronging herself again, what to say.

"I think the outline of your face is not as sharp as His Highness, your eyes are not as big as His Highness, and your nose is also..."

Song Peiyu spoke for a long time without repeating the same words.

To sum up, Lu Jihe is not as good as Chongyi in everything.

When did Lu Jihe suffer this grievance?

Song Peiyu was about to turn against Song Peiyu, but before she could say anything, Song Peiyu, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly stood up from the chair, walked up to Lu Jihe in two steps, and put one hand on the armchair behind Lu Jihe , Slowly lower the body.

Lu Jihe was shocked by Song Peiyu's unreasonable actions, and immediately forgot what he was going to do. As Song Peiyu approached, he subconsciously tried to hide back, but it was impossible to pass through the back of the chair, and he could only watch helplessly. Watching Song Peiyu's face gradually approaching.

When he was only a palm length away from Lu Jihe's face, Song Peiyu suddenly tilted his head back, looked at Lu Jihe fixedly, and said in a low voice, "I seem to really have that kind of thought about Your Highness. .”

When facing Chong Yi, he felt that Chong Yi had a beautiful appearance that no one could match, and also felt that Chong Yi had broad shoulders, standing there like a reliable shield, and naturally wanted to get closer.

Facing Lu Jihe, who also shares a friendship with him through thick and thin, is handsome, and always thinks of going with him, Song Peiyu can't even think of wanting to get closer even if the original prejudice has disappeared. .

You may even feel uncomfortable because you are too close.

Song Peiyu sat back in the chair decadently, the situation seemed a bit bad.

Chong Yi's reason for not allowing him to marry a wife is still unknown, but he has found that he seems to have developed feelings for Chong Yi that he shouldn't have.

Lu Jihe quickly stood up and took a few steps back, looking at Song Peiyu who was sitting on the chair in shock.

All kinds of greetings to the family tree were on the lips, but in the end they didn't say anything.

Forget it, why did he bother with Song Peiyu.

"Hey" Lu Jihe made up his mind to be this villain, staring at Song Peiyu with burning eyes and said, "After returning to Xianyang, His Majesty will definitely start to consider his wife's wife for His Highness, you..." Have a psychological preparation.

Song Peiyu patted the handle of the chair, chuckled, "What does his marriage have to do with me?"

Lu Jihe frowned, hating iron for being weak, and said, "What's the point of you saying these angry words at this time?"

Song Peiyu waved his hands wearily, he and Lu Jihe had nothing to say.

After all, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there is a huge difference between Lu Jihe's eyes of him and Chong Yi, and the actual situation of him and Chong Yi.

If Chong Yi is not the only prince of Zhao, they might still be possible.

But the reality is like this, and no one can change it.

They all shoulder great responsibilities, especially Chong Yi. Marrying a wife and having children is also one of his responsibilities.

After much deliberation, Song Peiyu felt that maintaining the current relationship, or even getting a little stranger, was the best choice for them.

After thinking it through, Song Peiyu quickly made a decision. He closed his eyes and said, "I'll go back to Qihuo City in a few years. This place hasn't completely stabilized yet, so I don't worry."

When Qihuo City is completely stabilized, when he returns to Xianyang, he may even have a little grandson.

At that time, things will change and people will change, and the little emotional fluctuations in the past will completely become a thing of the past.

Chongyi will still become Mingjun, and he will stand in the desired position as he wishes, protect the Song family, protect the Zhao country, and let Chongyi escape from the fate in the book.

Lu Jihe looked at Song Peiyu inquisitively, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Song Peiyu's posture didn't seem like he could accept Chong Yi's marriage, but he wanted to use this to make a clean break with Chong Yi.

"You..." Lu Jihe, who has always been eloquent, didn't know what to say. He didn't even know whether Song Peiyu's current attitude was because of a quarrel with Chong Yi, or because he couldn't accept Chong Yi's marriage.

If it's because of a quarrel, he has nothing to persuade.

If it was because he could not accept Chong Yi's marriage, he would have no choice.

Before Lu Jihe could think about what else he could say, Song Peiyu had already adjusted her mood.

When she opened her eyes again, all the entanglement, decadence, and depression on Song Peiyu's body disappeared completely.

It seemed that all the negative emotions that appeared on him just now were misunderstood by Lu Jihe.

Song Peiyu raised her foot and walked towards the door, her tone became more relaxed, "I'll find someone to store these ledgers in storage, and then pick out some of the latest styles of soap and glass to bring back to Xianyang."

Lu Jihe followed Song Peiyu slowly, but fell silent instead.

He seems to have accidentally done something wrong.

If Chong Yi knew that under his inexplicable persuasion, Song Peiyu would break off with Chong Yi completely, and Chong Yi should...won't break his neck directly in a fit of rage?

The two people who had exchanged moods just walked to the door when they suddenly became unstable and fell to the ground one after another.

At the same time, the two also heard screams outside.

"The ground is shaking! The ground is moving!"

"Earth Dragon turned over!"

"Young Master Song and Young Master Lu are still inside!"

……

Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe quickly got up from the ground when they heard the movement, and rushed towards the window in a stumbling manner.

They were on the second floor now, and they wanted to go down the stairs and out the door, but it was too late!

When he was about to reach the window, Song Peiyu tripped over something, and suddenly fell uncontrollably in the direction of Lu Jihe.

Song Peiyu twisted her posture in mid-air, and pushed towards Lu Jihe with both hands, just pushing Lu Jihe to the window before falling down.

'kuang'

As Lu Jihe disappeared from the window, a beam suddenly fell down, completely blocking the window.

Song Peiyu who was still inside couldn't come out.

Lu Jihe endured the continuous vomiting, and asked anxiously, "Song, where is Song Peiyu?"

"Young Master Song is inside, but he couldn't come out." Someone said in a crying voice.

Before the man finished speaking, a more desperate voice sounded not far away, "Your Highness also rushed in just now!"

Regardless of the blackness in front of his eyes, Lu Jihe got up from the ground with difficulty, and said sharply, "Why are you crying?! Hurry up and find someone to move everything away!"

It was also their bad luck that they were born in the few buildings left by Qi Town in Qihuo City during the earthquake.

The newly built buildings around are not serious, at most, some tiles have fallen off.

However, almost half of the Shixiang Building collapsed.

After Song Peiyu fell down, it was too late to go out from the window, so she quickly ran to the nearest table and squatted down.

As soon as he stopped, he heard a crackling sound, followed by a sense of weightlessness and overwhelming dust.

When all the movement disappeared, Song Peiyu was sure that he had survived. He was shaking all over for a while, and limp and limp beside the distorted table.

He thought about resting for a while, and then seeing if he could save himself, but he didn't hold out much hope.

With his status in the strange goods city, unless Chong Yi is also crushed under the rubble, all the guards of the strange goods city will come to rescue him first.

Waiting for rescue is far safer than running around blindly.

"Beaver slave?"

"Song Peiyu!"

……

The familiar voice made Song Peiyu's eyes widen suddenly, and she immediately changed from a powerless posture under the table to squatting on the side of the table vigilantly, listening intently to the faint voice, and tentatively giving a response, " Your Highness?"

After giving the response, Song Peiyu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Unexpectedly, he had not suffered any physical injuries, nor had he stayed under the ruins for long, but he would already have symptoms of auditory hallucinations.

Chong Yi should be in the palace, why did he suddenly appear here?

Song Peiyu hadn't completely let go of this thought, and suddenly heard Chong Yi's response, "I know where you are, are you injured?"

Song Peiyu silently clenched her robe, speaking incoherently, "I'm fine, are you injured? No, why are you here?! I..."

"Don't be afraid!" Chong Yi's deep voice came to Song Peiyu's ears, successfully making Song Peiyu shut up.

Is he afraid?

How could it be possible not to be afraid.

After finding out that there is another person, I really feel a lot more relieved.

Song Peiyu didn't even know if he felt relieved because the other person was Chong Yi.

Suppressing all kinds of complicated thoughts, Song Peiyu loudly reminded Chong Yi not to rush to find him, but to find a corner where he can hide first, and be careful that the half-ruined Shixiang Building will collapse again, or there will be aftershocks.

However, listening to the voice getting closer and louder, Song Peiyu knew that Chong Yi didn't listen to him at all.

Not long after, Song Peiyu saw Chong Yi.

Chong Yi was still wearing his breakfast clothes, which were not only covered with all kinds of dust, but also scratched and tattered.

The worst thing to look at is Chongyi's originally white and slender hands.

Song Peiyu's gaze suddenly focused on Chong Yi's fingertips.

The black soil and the bright red blood on the round fingertips coagulated together, regardless of each other, and it hurt Song Peiyu's eyes.

Chong Yi first bent down to see Song Peiyu's expression, followed Song Peiyu's line of sight to see his hand, and simply placed his hand generously under Song Peiyu's eyes, allowing Song Peiyu to observe, and said in a low voice, "Go to the left. "

All of Song Peiyu's attention was on Chong Yi's hand, and he didn't pay attention to what Chong Yi said at all. He heard that although he moved the place, it was completely opposite to what Chong Yi said, and he moved to the right.

Chong Yi didn't mind either, he took the seat Song Peiyu vacated.

In this way, they could just hide behind the desk where Song Peiyu was originally hiding.

Chong Yi came to Song Peiyu's side so quickly because they were on the same floor and not far away.

If you want to go out, but you have to risk the ruins collapsing again at any time, it is far better to wait for someone to rescue them in place.

After Song Peiyu didn't touch the handkerchief, she silently tore off a large piece of her jacket, held Chong Yi's hand, carefully cleaned Chong Yi's wound, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Chong Yi lowered his eyelids to see Song Peiyu's expression, and remained silent.

Chong Yi didn't answer, but Song Peiyu asked persistently.

Finally, when Song Peiyu's voice changed slightly, Chong Yi said, "Just passing by, I heard you inside."

Song Peiyu didn't believe it, so he continued to ask.

Chong Yi covered Song Peiyu's mouth with his bandaged right hand.

Song Peiyu looked up at Chong Yi, and Chong Yi looked away as if nothing had happened, but he didn't have the slightest intention to take away the hand covering Song Peiyu's mouth.

Until the palm of the hand suddenly felt soft and moist.

Chong Yi suddenly turned his head to look at Song Peiyu.

Song Peiyu was expressionless, and looked at Chong Yi without any hesitation.

After a long time, Song Peiyu's eyes showed hesitation. Just as he was about to reach out and take off the big hand covering his mouth, he suddenly heard a voice that was no less hoarse than his ear, "Lick it again."

Song Peiyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately threw away Chong Yi's unbandaged left hand, turned his back to Chong Yi, and kept looking around the gaps in the ruins, trying to find a place that could accommodate him.

He was wrong, he shouldn't have expected Chong Yi to have such things as etiquette, righteousness and shame!

After a while, Chong Yi's voice was never heard, and Song Peiyu couldn't help but look back.

Chong Yi was looking at the palm of his right hand with his head half down...

Song Peiyu's blood pressure, which had just dropped, suddenly surged up like a volcanic eruption, and subconsciously took a piece of cloth mixed with black, white and red, and pasted it on Chong Yi's palm.

But Song Peiyu forgot, how could his reaction be too fast?

Chong Yi immediately clenched his fist and hid his right hand behind his back.

Song Peiyu's brain was scrambled and she lost all reason. Seeing the situation, she used all four limbs and wanted to grab Chongyi's hand recklessly.

At this moment, there is only one thought in his mind, and that is to wipe Chongyi's right hand clean!It doesn't matter if it's wiped, but it must be wiped!

In the end, he caught it with his hand, but Song Peiyu couldn't break Chong Yi's fingers.

"Open!" Song Peiyu said aggressively.

Chong Yi stretched out his left hand silently to protect Song Peiyu who was riding on him, "No"

Song Peiyu took a deep breath, and said again indiscriminately, "Are you a pervert?"

"No." Chong Yi's eyelids trembled, and he looked at Song Peiyu's current appearance quite curiously.

Not only are the eyes brighter than usual, but the face is more vivid than ever.

It turned out that Song Peiyu looked very good when she was angry.

Song Peiyu was about to speak again when suddenly she was suspended in the air.

aftershock.

The table where Song Peiyu was hiding before has been smashed to pieces.

Thanks to Chong Yi holding Song Peiyu in time to avoid their original hiding place, it has been completely smashed into ruins by the clods falling from the sky.

The power of the aftershock is not as powerful as the earthquake just now, but it will make the situation of Song Peiyu and Chong Yi worse.

The Shixiang Building was already in pieces during the earthquake, and the aftershocks made those pieces even more broken, squeezing the space between Song Peiyu and Chongyi again.

And now they can't find a place to hide.

Everything happens between lightning and flint.

When Song Peiyu regained consciousness, there was no longer any light around her.

Song Peiyu only knew that he was lying on the ground, and he could touch the warm and firm body with his hand, it was Chong Yi.

Chong Yi lay on top of him, giving him space.

Unprecedented fear hit Song Peiyu's heart, he couldn't even utter a word, and with trembling hands, he touched Chongyi's neck up by feeling, only remembering to check whether Chongyi was still alive.

Chong Yi saw the picture he was thinking about.

Although there wasn't any light, it couldn't affect Chong Yi's eyesight.

He greedily watched the tears welling up from Song Peiyu's eyes, falling down along the side of Song Peiyu's face like broken beads.

Feeling the trembling hands on his face, Chong Yi finally managed to calm Song Peiyu.

The voice is hoarse than before, "it's okay"

Song Peiyu bit her tongue, trying to use the pain to calm herself down. After speaking, she realized that his voice was trembling extremely, "Are you hurt? Can you rest on my body?"

Chong Yi suddenly wanted to laugh, but he felt that if he laughed, Song Peiyu might be upset, so he held back, relying on Song Peiyu's eyesight not being as good as his, he couldn't see the expression on his face, and laughed silently.

"The leg is pinned by something, this position doesn't hurt." Chong Yi said lightly, afraid that Song Peiyu might not feel relieved, so he added, "It's not a serious problem."

The legs are all nailed, how could there be no serious problems? !

Song Peiyu couldn't hold her hand down Chong Yi's face, wanting to see how Chong Yi's legs were doing.

It's a pity that the space left for them is too narrow, as long as Song Peiyu's hands are close to Chong Yi, Chong Yi will groan in pain, and Song Peiyu immediately dare not move.

Fortunately, the smell of blood in the air was not strong, so Song Peiyu could barely hold on.

He quickly recalled what he had learned about how to deal with an earthquake.

The space they were in was so small that it was difficult to get fresh air. He must not be emotional and try to keep his breathing steady so as not to consume a lot of oxygen.

Thinking of this, Song Peiyu tightly pursed her lips, pinched the tiger's mouth with one hand tightly with the other, and used the pain to calm herself down again.

Song Peiyu didn't know how serious Chong Yi's injury was, after all Chong Yi was such a tolerant person.

He was assassinated in Huashan last year, and the wound that almost pierced his body didn't change Chong Yi's face.

But he knew that no matter how serious Chong Yi's injury was, he had no choice but to pray that there would be no aftershocks.

All he can do now is to keep talking to Chong Yi, so as not to let Chong Yi fall asleep.

In the extremely dark environment, Song Peiyu could only vaguely see the outline of Chong Yi's face.

"Have you thought about what to do when you return to Xianyang?" Song Peiyu silently put her hand on Chong Yi's arm standing beside his face, which made him feel safe.

Chong Yi's answer came easily and casually, "No"

Song Peiyu was silent for a while, and then pretended to be relaxed, "You are one year older than me, and the royal heirs are dying, your marriage must be more urgent than mine, maybe you will have a big wedding when you return to Xianyang."

Chong Yi didn't even hesitate, "No"

"No what?" Song Peiyu asked unconsciously.

"I won't marry a wife." Chong Yi replied.

Song Peiyu was silent again, and willfully followed Chongyi's words, "But everyone expects you to marry a wife, from His Majesty to the court ministers, and even ordinary people, they will think that it is a good thing for the royal family to flourish."

"They may back down on the selection of the prince and concubine, but they won't back down half a step on the emperor's grandson." Song Peiyu didn't know whether he was speaking to Chong Yi or himself.

"Hmm," Chong Yi said, expressing that he was listening, but he was not easily influenced by Song Peiyu's words, "Father can't do it, emperor uncle can do it, and Qingluan can."

Song Peiyu's eyes widened silently, even the strength of Xuxu's hand holding Chong Yi's arm increased unknowingly, but she didn't notice it at all.

He never expected that Chong Yi, who would be framed by 'filial piety' and obedient to Concubine Mu Gui, would be so open-minded.

Back then, Emperor Yonghe would train Su Wang's eldest son as his heir because he had a deep affection for Fa's wife. Fa's wife didn't even keep the children born by Fa's wife. He was too sad and had already cut off the idea of ​​remarrying.

Now Chong Yi is not only able to lightly place his hopes for the throne on King Su's unborn son, but even the eldest princess is in his consideration?

Suddenly, in the distance, heavy objects were being moved and the sound of shovels digging, and it became louder and louder.

Song Peiyu knew that they would be out of trouble soon.

He wanted to know whether Chong Yi had set his sights on King Su's unborn son and princess for a long time, whether it was to escape from the throne, or because...

Without knowing the answer, he will probably never be reconciled.

As if the voices coming from all directions were getting louder and louder, Song Peiyu tried her best to lift her upper body close to Chongyi's ears, her voice was barely audible, "Do you want to marry me as a princess?"

Feeling the soft touch and warm breath in his ears, Chong Yi heard the beating of his heart again.

But the distance was too close, and he couldn't tell whether it was his heartbeat or Song Peiyu's.

Chong Yi licked his dry lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "This... can be considered."

Song Peiyu's body froze, and she lied back to her original position weakly, allowing the dust that fell from the rubble to fall along Chong Yi's body and hit him again.

It just so happened that the biggest obstacle above them was removed, and Song Peiyu regained her eyesight amidst many calls of surprise.

He squinted his eyes halfway, resisting the instinct of photophobia after staring at the darkness for a long time, and had a panoramic view of the expression on Chong Yi's face.

Chong Yi is really seriously considering whether to marry him as the prince or concubine.

In other words, before this, Chong Yi had never thought about this problem.

I don't know who the anger is directed at lingers in my heart.

Song Peiyu closed her eyes and fainted.
