Tao Hua's and Pei Yuli's gazes fell on the foaming soup, and the air was dead silent.

After a while, Pei Yuli smiled softly.

The meaning contained in his smile is extremely complicated, rather than laughing at Taohua, it is more self-deprecating about his current situation.

Visible and invisible, everyone who has anything to do with this case wants him to die.

It doesn't matter whether he is punished by the king's law after pleading guilty, or he dies quietly in prison. In short, as long as he dies, he will follow the wishes of many people.

But did he really commit the crime of mortal death?He didn't.

He's just... redundant.

Pei Yuli had this idea at that moment, since he was a child, he was always the extra one.The bustling Li Mansion couldn't tolerate him, and this huge troubled world really couldn't tolerate him.

"It's not me!" After a brief silence, Taohua denied it as if he had nothing to say.

She didn't need to deny this sentence, but this was in the big prison, and she explained it to the officials who could not see it but might be all over the place.

See, those who were almost victimized did not deserve to hear her justification, and even her justification was for her own innocence.

Isn't that absurd enough?

Pei Yu's heart seemed to be pricked by countless needles at the same time, and the pain spread out so densely that he couldn't even hide it.

It is undeniable that Momoka is the only connection he has with the past.After five years of getting along, he didn't long for any friendship, but why did he make such an ugly mess?

"You go." Pei Yu's hands were almost limp, and he didn't want to spend any extra effort to continue talking with her.

But Taohua was awakened by what he said just now, and she didn't dare to step out of the cell casually. At the same time, she was full of resentment, and said angrily, "What have you done, what have I to do with it!"

Pei Yuli frowned, feeling his throat was a little astringent, and said after a while: "Taohua, you made the wrong choice from the beginning."

From the moment he insisted that Pei Yuli was the real culprit who killed Miss, he had already surrendered his life.

Taohua thought this was the best way to clear herself up, but she didn't know that her little lies were covered with other people's big lies. The truth of Li Qingwei's death was closely related to the demise of Li's family. While going out to take the blame, they will not let anyone who helped them give false testimony.

If Pei Yuli died in prison today, Taohua would be the loyal servant who avenged the Lord and then committed suicide in fear of crime.

Pei Yuli failed to die, if he pleaded guilty, the real murderer behind the scenes would find the best time to seal Taohua's mouth; if he did not plead guilty, Taohua would live longer, because she is the key witness, Definitely will be summoned.

But this "live longer" is only temporary.

Unable to go forward, backward, left, and right, Taohua walked into a dead end by himself.

"There is another way," Pei Yuli raised his eyes and said to her, "Who sent you here? Do you dare to say it?"

Taohua's mind was agitated, how dare she?

There are monstrous forces behind the person who contacted her. If she is not strict with her words, she will die immediately.Taking a step back, even if the government intervenes in the investigation, what can be found out?Isn't it much easier to execute Pei Yuli?Why does Master Futai preside over this justice?

Moreover, isn't this the same as voluntarily admitting that she lied and gave perjury?No matter how you think about it, it is a dead end.

Empress Taohua felt chills down her spine, and at the same time boundless fear gushed out of her bones, anger also clustered.

Why should she bear the bitter fruit?It's all because of this Pei in front of me!Wouldn't everything be fine if he had already taken the blame?Unexpectedly, he ran away for five months, but after being caught, he was bitten to death and didn't let go for half a month!

If not, how could the family find her again and ask her to persuade her, and how could she fall into the whirlpool again?

"Did I choose wrong?" Taohua stood up from the chair abruptly, pointed at Pei Yuli's nose and said, "What did you choose right?! What good is there in refusing to plead guilty? It's a shame to hurt others!"

"I'm not guilty." Pei Yuli continued to look at Taohua with a pale face, there seemed to be no waves in his eyes, but he was not as indifferent as he appeared.

"It's not a crime to wait for an opportunity to set fire! It's not a crime to kill others! Pei Yuli, I'm the innocent person. At least I haven't killed others! Can't you let me go?!"

Taohua was terrified, her emotions were extremely agitated, and she no longer had any logic in her speech, she only caught Pei Yuli biting wildly, trying to throw all the blame on Pei Yuli.

Pei Yuli's bloodless lips trembled, and he asked, "Who did I kill?"

Taohua followed his words and asked a question that he would never have thought of: "Aren't you the son of a criminal? Why are you still alive?"

These words were so endless that Pei Yuli couldn't even understand the logical connection between them.

He only thought that the news of meeting the Grand Commander was widely spread, but he didn't expect Taohua to continue like a cannonball: "Didn't you escape with your uncle Pei? No one died for you, how did you live? !Pei Yuli, who are you worthy of in this life? What's the point of living so desperately!"

The more Taohua yelled, the more excited she became, until the end she began to cry, "If you are a scourge, hide yourself well! Why do you come out and harm others!"

Pei Yuli was dizzy, and there was a sharp sound in his ears, which lasted for a long time without dissipating.

He only saw Taohua's mouth was still opening and closing, but he didn't hear anything.

Everyone in Li's house regarded him as the exiled slave of Pei's house, and they all knew that the housekeeper of Pei's house was his father. How did the title "Pei Bo" come out of Taohua's mouth?

The commander-in-chief did not disclose the authenticity of Pei Yun's identity. Everyone in the whole continent thought he was insane, lying and deceiving others. Why did Taohua believe that he was the son of a criminal minister?

What is "how do you live when no one dies for you"?In Pei Yuli's memory, he was just hid in the woodshed by Bo Pei at night, and changed his name to pretend to be Bo Pei's son.

That's right... how can he live when no one dies for him?

Why was he lucky enough to survive in the first place?Guarded by layers of officers and soldiers, he should have been beheaded for public display, so why did he escape?Why has he never thought about this question for so many years?

Pei Yuli's brain burst into shocking pain, and there was a stabbing sound, as if a bolt of lightning had shot through his entire head.

Suddenly the figure of Pei Bo appeared in front of his eyes. It was Pei Bo who was dressed in rags on the road of exile, and nodded and bowed to the officers and soldiers in order to save him.

Standing beside Pei Bo was a boy of a few years old, who was watching Pei Bo and weeping unceasingly, as if he was at a loss, and seemed to feel sorry for Pei Bo so much.

That boy is not him, who is it?

"Master, Master! It's getting dark, we have to go back!" The young Pei Li followed closely behind Pei Yun, holding a wooden sword in one hand and two bunches of candied haws in the other. Like a nagging little sparrow, he persuaded, "Go back, go back!"

"Oh!" Pei Yun curled her lips and said, "My mother knows my temper, and I always come back late when I go out to play, and she won't blame me."

"Madam won't blame you, but my father..." Pei Li trembled, wondering why, "My father will definitely scold me..."

"Okay, okay!" Pei Yun took a candied haws from Pei Li's hand and said, "I'll give you the other one, then go back."

The housekeeper of the Pei family has always been Pei Rui's confidant, and there is a rare friendship between master and servant, so Pei Rui made an exception and directly gave the housekeeper the master's family name.

Butler Pei had a son when he was old, and that child happened to be born in the same year as Pei Yun, the son of the Pei family.

Pei Yun and Pei Li are the sons of the governor's mansion, and the sons of servants, their identities are very different.However, Governor Pei authorized Pei Li to be Pei Yun's accompanying student. The two children played, studied and grew up together since they were young.

From the age of eight, a master and a servant are already the best playmates.

Pei Li was taught by Steward Pei since he was a child, telling him to study hard and practice martial arts, to accompany the young master all his life, and to be loyal to the Pei family.

Pei Li kept it in his heart until he was eight years old.

That day, he went out to play with the young master, until the evening, the two secretly ate two bunches of candied haws before going home quietly.There are always hidden guards around them, so there is no need to worry about their safety, but that day, before they reached the mansion, they bumped into Steward Pei who came in a hurry.

"Father..." Pei Li thought it was because they went back too late that father came out to look for him, for fear of being scolded.

But Housekeeper Pei didn't scold him that day, but stroked his face with his rough hands for a long time, then hugged him for a long time, and asked: "Father told you to be loyal to the master and the young master for the rest of your life, are you willing?"

Pei Li was ignorant, and replied loudly: "That's natural."

Steward Pei's eyes were red, and he said to him: "Good boy." When Pei Li returned to the mansion, he was arrested by a group of vicious officials. Although he was only eight years old, he knew in his heart that something happened in the mansion.

The official asked him if he was the young master of the Pei family. He remembered his father's entrustment and answered "yes".

Needless to say, everything after that, Pei Li experienced the most terrifying scene in his life, the sudden disaster made him at a loss, and the blood dripping also made him afraid.The master, wife, aunts, and the masters of the house, big and small, were pushed to the guillotine one by one.

Pei Li was at the end.

He is too young to have no concept of death, but he knows that this is probably the time when his father said "to be loyal".

Although he was afraid, he didn't lie, he was willing.

It's a pity that father didn't know where he went, and the young master didn't know where he went either. He probably won't see them again.

Broken memories smashed into Pei Yuli's mind like a storm.

He always thought that his past was complete, and every pain and every fear he experienced in the past was firmly engraved in his heart.

Fate was unfair to him, but fate favored him very much. Fate gave him parents, Pei Bo, Miss, and Kou Yi who loved him so much. He obviously remembered them all...he remembered them all!

But why are other things constantly rushing into his mind at this moment?what is that?

Father, mother, Pei Bo...and Pei Li!

Who is Pei Li?Who is Pei Li? !

Pei Yuli only remembered that he was hiding in the woodshed with Pei Bo, and there was no one in the mansion.My father and mother have all disappeared, and the servants are also missing.

The officers and soldiers kicked open the door, dragged him and Pei Bo up from the ground, put shackles on them, and walked on a road that didn't know where they were going.

It took Pei Yuli a long time to realize that it was the road of exile, and later... Later he was bought back by Li Yue and Li Chuan.

"Young master, please remember," Pei Bo's words were still in his ears, "no matter who asks you, they will only say that you are the son of the old slave. No matter whether there are other people present, call the old slave 'Daddy'."

Pei Bo's expression seemed extremely sad, "I have wronged you, young master."

He easily pretended to be Pei Bo's son, so what about the original?Where is Pei Bo's original son?

Pei Yuli's heart started to throb, and his stomach also started to cram.His head hurts, his throat hurts, every part of his body hurts.

Why?Why did Taohua's casual questioning cause him such pain?

"Pei Yuli, Pei Yuli!"

There was panic in Taohua's voice, as if calling him.

But he couldn't answer, he could only clenched the clothes around his heart, completely out of breath, he fell down on the wet ground with a bang.

dong dong dong-

The sound of footsteps went away, and Taohua ran away.

He can't care about Taohua anymore, because many memories that don't belong to him come roaring in, crawling all over his body and back!Every pore on his body oozes bitterness, and the sweat seems to contain blood, and the blood weaves into pictures, which can't stop appearing in front of his eyes.

"Pei Rui, the governor of the southeast, was punished for the crime of collaborating with the enemy. His family members were all executed, and his servants were exiled to the southwest!"

"Master, come with me."

"This is my son, Xiaoli."

Xiao Li...or Xiao Li?

"Ali, where is Ari?"

Ali... Where is Ali?Ali!

Pei Yuli turned over abruptly from the ground, his whole body trembling almost to the point of bouncing, and he began to retch violently.

"Ouch--vomit--"

There was nothing in his stomach, only bitter stomach acid kept turning up.He grabbed the ground with his weak hands, trying to prop himself up, but he couldn't.

It turns out...it turns out that he has been taking the lives of others...Is this why fate made fun of him?What he stole was someone else's life... What right does he have to complain?

The blood in Pei Yuli's whole body seemed to rush to his head, his eyes were pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, he vomited blood uncontrollably, and the black eyes turned into red eyes. He couldn't control it no matter what, the blood kept rushing up from the esophagus and pouring out from his mouth.

"Uh-uh-"

There was a loud bang not far away, I don't know what it was, and then a gust of wind hit him.

There was a violent convulsion all over his body, his right arm jerked uncontrollably, but someone grabbed his shoulder.

His body suddenly hung in the air and fell into a warm embrace.

"Yu Li," the voice trembling in the ear, the visitor seemed to pause for a moment, and called again, "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun!"

Pei Yuli finally opened his eyes, trembling and crying the moment he saw the person in front of him: "Kou... Kou Yi, I... I can't breathe, I can't breathe!"

Kou Yi wiped the blood from his mouth with his hands, and was going crazy with anxiety: "The doctor is here, I'll let him show you!"

Pei Yuli's upper body was stiff, his hands tightly clutching Kou Yi's clothes, the tears in his eyes flowed down like broken threads, and he cried heavily, "I...I don't want to..."

Kou Yi's Adam's apple turned up and down, and his throat hurt like a fire.

He could only hold Pei Yuli tightly with his arms, but the next moment, he heard Pei Yuli weeping in despair: "I don't want to live anymore, Kou Yi, kill me, I beg you, Just kill me..."
