Dianxia Qingcheng

After an unknown amount of time, the door opened again.

When Pei Zheng opened the door and entered, he saw the little man sitting beside the bed listening to Li Yu, with a relaxed expression and a gentle face.

Seeing Pei Zheng coming in, the expression on that small face disappeared instantly, with his head lowered, he didn't even want to look at Pei Zheng.

The food on the table did show signs of being tampered with, Pei Zheng felt relieved a little and asked someone to remove the food.

"You go down first."

Pei Zheng said to Li Yu.

Li Yu walked out of the room step by step and turned his head three times.

As soon as the door was closed, the little man's eyes were filled with tears, and his long eyelashes looked like they were about to fall when they were wet.

Pei Zheng strode over and sat on the edge of the bed, trying to reach out to wipe the little man's tears, but saw him hide behind.

His fingers paused for a moment, but he still followed, gently caressed his little cheek, and wiped away the tears with the tenderness between his fingertips.

"Does your body... still hurt?"

Pei Zheng lifted his collar slightly and took a look. The wounds should have started to heal.

"Did you eat enough just now?"

The little man turned his face away, pursed his mouth and said nothing, but the expression on his face was terribly wronged and pitiful.

Pei Zheng smoothed his hair, "Do you think it's delicious? If you like it, I'll buy Yipinxiang and ask them to cook for you in the future, okay?"

Seeing that the little man still didn't speak, but he didn't seem to resist his contact so much anymore, Pei Zheng leaned closer to him again, holding his arm weakly behind him.

"Li Yu was picked up from the palace by someone I had. He is clever and didn't suffer any grievances in the palace." Pei Zheng seemed to push forward, ticking the little man's little finger with his index finger, "If you want, you can Don't let him go back to the palace, okay?"

Sure enough, when Li Yu was mentioned, the little man slowly raised his eyes and nodded very slowly.

This tiny response already made Pei Zheng very happy, and he directly held that little hand in his palm.

"Just let him continue to stay by your side and serve you, as long as you want him to stay."

The little man nodded again.

Pei Zheng took him into his arms, and his voice became a little hoarse, "You are finally willing to talk to me, finally you are willing to look at me... Even if you reject me, beat me and scold me... That's right, Don't ignore me..."

The little man didn't struggle at first, but suddenly he didn't know what to think of, and his little hand pushed against Pei Zheng's chest twice.

The strength was negligible, even though Pei Zheng was reluctant to give up, he still let him go.

The little man stared at Pei Zheng's cut arm and didn't move. He tilted his head slightly, and there seemed to be a worried look between his brows and eyes.

Suddenly, a warm current surged up in Pei Zheng's heart. This little man couldn't help but care about himself.

Pei Zheng also took a sharp breath of air, and then secretly used his internal strength to forcibly burst open the wound that was about to heal.

Blood dripped down his bony fingers in an instant, Pei Zheng deliberately pretended not to care, hid his hands in his sleeves, and then hid his arms behind his back.

It's a pity that the blood has already rubbed onto the little man's plain white robe, the bright red is dazzling.

"Worried about me?"

Pei Zheng said in a low voice, "I'm fine, the wound just burst open and bleed a little, it doesn't hurt."

But the little man's eyes were still looking at his back, and his beautiful brows were tightly frowned, because blood was clearly still dripping from there.

How could it not hurt?There is no wound on my body that does not hurt. It hurts when I talk, it hurts when I don’t talk, it hurts when I’m awake, it hurts when I’m sleeping, and even breathing hurts badly.

"To... bandage..."

The little man lowered his head, and his voice was small and soft.

But Pei Zheng heard it clearly.

He was delighted, but the corners of his lips were only hooked slightly, "Let's talk about it later, I have one hand, so it's inconvenient."

But this tone clearly shows that he doesn't care about his wounds.

The little man raised his head, looked into Pei Zheng's eyes, and said again, "It needs to be bandaged... otherwise... otherwise... it will hurt..."

Pei Zheng's heart suddenly throbbed. He knew that his methods were despicable and shameless. Using the little man's kindness and the little love he had left for him, he greedily wanted to occupy his whole heart.

However, Pei Zheng also decided to give him back his heart, so he gave him his broken heart.

"Then what should I do?" Pei Zheng's eyes were deep and heavy, and he looked at the little man and asked softly, "Can you help me?"

The little man thought about it seriously, then shook his head.

Pei Zheng suddenly leaned over and got so close to those lips, his watery eyes widened slightly in shock.

But Pei Zheng's hand searched for the place behind him, and he straightened up, with the ointment box just now in his palm.

He lifted up his sleeves, approached the wound, and stuffed the ointment box into the little man's hand.

"It's very simple, let me teach you, okay? Just like I helped you apply the medicine just now, you also apply the medicine for me, okay?"

Perhaps Pei Zheng seldom showed such a gentle and fragile expression. The tone of the inquiry was low, as if pleading. Only a slightly cold hand.

That hand didn't pinch his chin, but caressed it very lightly and slowly lovingly, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "My darling... okay..."

The little man's eyes were red again, finally, he lowered his head and opened the ointment box.

Pei Zheng stretched his arm over, dipped a small hand into the ointment, and applied it softly, the distance between the two was very close, so close that Pei Zheng could see the uneasy trembling long hair with his lowered eyes. eyelashes.

He held his breath, not daring to disturb the little man again.

But when the wound was covered with medicine and bandaged, the little man raised his head and bumped into a pair of dark eyes.

Pei Zheng bowed his head quickly, kissed him on the lips, and then smiled softly.

But the little man seemed to have opened the tear gate, and hot tears fell down.

Pei Zheng reached out to wipe his tears in a panic, apologizing in a low voice while wiping, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...don't cry, just be good and don't cry..."

"You...bullyed me...bullied me again...I, I already gave you medicine...why do you still bully me...I hate you so much...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

As if the emotions that had been pent up for a long time were stimulated by a soft kiss, the little man whimpered and cried for a long time, babbling bad things about Pei Zheng while crying.

Pei Zheng was not angry at all, but hugged him and coaxed him more gently.

After coaxing for a long time, the little person in his arms finally stopped crying, but his eyes were red and swollen.

"If I say that I know I was wrong about everything before, are you still willing to stay by my side and give me a chance to make up for it?"

The little man looked at Pei Zheng for a while, then lowered his head sobbing, "I...I don't know...I really don't know...Can you stop asking me...I'm so uncomfortable..."

Pei Zheng patted him on the back soothingly, and said softly, "Okay, I won't ask any more. If you don't ask, you won't feel uncomfortable, right? Then I won't ask."

After stroking the little man's hair, Pei Zheng continued, "You can do everything according to you. I won't force you or threaten you. You can do whatever you want, okay?"

After a moment of silence, the little man's voice came, "I...I want to go out..."

Pei Zheng's body froze for a moment. He knew that if he left the prime minister's residence, he would be rescued by Zhao Litang's men as before.

"I want to go to the street..."

Pei Zheng smiled, "Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow."

The little man was still weak, and cried a lot, and soon fell asleep after drinking the medicine.

After Pei Zheng left the room, his eyes suddenly became serious.

He asked Li Yu about something, and Li Yu knelt down nervously.

"Master Pei, I don't understand what you said. I... I haven't seen General Zhao for a long time!"

Pei Zheng said lightly, "Don't hide it from me, I know what Zhao Litang is going to do tomorrow, I just want you to give him another message, don't rob anyone, tomorrow night, I will wait for him at Yipinxiang. "

Li Yuxin was full of doubts and fears, so he followed Pei Zheng's order to go to the general's mansion to speak.

When the little man woke up, it was already afternoon.

There was no one in the room, he stared blankly at the dark bed curtain above his head for a while, and then stood up.

Slowly walked to the door, just about to open the door to go out, but the door was pushed open from the outside, he was startled, almost fell on his back, but fortunately was held firmly by an arm.

"Awake?" Pei Zheng hugged him and put a belt in his arms, protecting him from the cold wind outside, "Where do you want to go?"

The little man just looked at the dim sunlight outside and didn't speak, he just wanted to go out and look at the sun.

Pei Zheng put a thick robe on him first, and then protected him under his own cloak before allowing him to go out of the room.

The two of them walked aimlessly in the huge prime minister's mansion, followed by two little maids, and unknowingly walked to the small building in the back garden.

However, Pei Zheng saw a small bulging earth bag under a tree in the back garden, and a small stone was erected beside it, as if something was buried inside, and when the little man saw the earth bag , also clearly showing sadness.

Pei Zheng asked, "What's buried inside?"

The little maid explained, "My lord, there is a rabbit buried here."

Pei Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

Rabbit, when did rabbits appear in the former prime minister's mansion, only when I returned to the hunting ground last time, I gave a rabbit to the little man.

"That rabbit, is there any injury on his body?"

"Yes, the back leg was injured by an arrow."

That's right, that one.

Pei Zheng hugged the person in his arms tightly again, "When did this rabbit die?"

The little maid thought about it, but hesitated and hesitated to speak.

"Say."

"When I returned to my lord, I died on... the day His Highness was imprisoned in a secret prison..."
