Dianxia Qingcheng

Qi Changyi didn't answer, just looked at Li Yu like that.

"Your Highness, if you want to know, this servant will go out and inquire..."

Li Yu was about to get up and go out as he spoke, but was held back by a hand.

Qi Changyi didn't have much strength, he just tugged on his sleeve lightly, and Li Yu turned back.

"Your Highness, I only heard a little bit about it. It said that Mr. Pei stayed in the palace last night. The emperor invited all the ministers to a banquet, and even the entire imperial capital was decorated with lights and festoons..."

Qi Changyi withdrew his hand and looked elsewhere.

Li Yu continued, "I also heard from the little girl who went out to buy things this morning that the prime minister's mansion is decorated with red everywhere, and the emperor has given countless rare gold, silver and jewels, plus congratulatory gifts from the court officials. , filled the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Qi Changyi's face turned pale a little, and the previously injured fingernails had grown a new tender flesh, a piece of pink.

Li Yu saw that his mood was fluctuating, so he didn't continue talking.

In fact, Li Yu wanted to tell His Highness everything that was going on outside. His Highness loved Mr. Pei for so long and suffered so much pain for no reason. Now that Mr. Pei is getting married, it would be a relief for His Highness.

It would be great if I could take this opportunity to cut off the past...

Even though it was noisy and bustling outside, the quiet backyard still looked gloomy and desolate.

It seemed that no matter what earth-shaking events happened outside, it had nothing to do with this back garden.

Qi Changyi sat there all day without eating, but only drank some water under Li Yu's repeated pleading.

It was getting dark outside, and the hazy night was slowly covering up.

At this hour, the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion should be bustling.

The crowd is bustling, eyes full of red, a pair of lovers, a match made in heaven...

The door of the small building was suddenly opened, and a figure walked in with a cold wind wrapped around his body.

"Why is it so dark?"

That figure walked up to Qi Changyi who was sitting and stood still.

Li Yu heard the voice of the person, went to get the candlestick and lit it, glanced at the two of them, and then left the door.

The fire suddenly lit up, reflecting Qi Changyi's pale face, his complexion was very bad, his whole body was devoid of energy, as if he would faint in the next second.

The red that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes hurt Qi Changyi's eyes, he stared at the lower corner of the bright red clothes of the visitor, his eyes were sore.

"I heard that you haven't eaten all day."

Pei Zheng stretched out his hand to lift his chin, and groped the jade-white skin twice with his fingers.

"If you are angry with me, you shouldn't break your body."

Qi Changyi raised his head slightly, his gaze fell on Pei Zheng's face.

He was wearing a wedding dress, with fiery red eyes and cold and handsome features. He had never seen him wearing such brightly colored clothes before, so he looked so good-looking.

However, this is for others to wear.

Qi Changyi turned his head sideways, and a few crystal clear teardrops rolled down his cheeks and landed on Pei Zheng's fingers, scalding his breath.

Pei Zheng followed him with his fingers reluctantly, turned his face to himself, not allowing him to move around, and then stroked the few little pearls away with his slender fingers.

After some movements, Qi Changyi's collar loosened a bit, revealing a little collarbone.

Pei Zheng's eyes darkened, and his fingers gently pulled down along the collar, and the red petals of the demon girl Yao were slowly revealed, twisting and turning and blooming in an extremely bewitching way.

The tattoo has recovered very well, no scars can be seen, the red lotus blooms vividly on the white skin, and the uneven bones add a bit of beauty to it.

"Didn't you think it was ugly before?" Pei Zheng outlined it with his fingers, "Now, do you like this pattern?"

Qi Changyi flinched a bit from his cool fingers, stretched out his hand and pulled up the collar, and the karmic red lotus was blocked by the snow-white robe.

Pei Zheng withdrew his fingers calmly, looked down at the little man in front of him, trying to see even the slightest emotion on his face.

But Qi Changyi still just shed tears silently, without even frowning.

Very calm, in tears.

Seeing his quiet appearance, Pei Zheng's heart skipped a few beats, and he finally stood in front of him.

"Don't cry, wait for me here tonight."

The little man trembled from crying.

Pei Zheng followed his back, then leaned over and placed a soft kiss on his lips, "Be good."

Qi Changyi raised his head, his eyes filled with tears.

At this moment, Chengfeng hurried over and knocked on the door.

"Master, it's almost time, everyone outside is waiting."

Qi Changyi's body froze obviously, but Pei Zheng held him still.

The knock on the door became more urgent, "Master, there is no reason to keep the guests waiting, you should go out as soon as possible, those people are all staring at you, just waiting to find fault with you."

The door was opened suddenly, Pei Zheng walked out with a gloomy face, and strode out of the back garden.

Chengfeng sighed and stepped up to follow.

Seeing Pei Zheng leave, Li Yu pushed the door open and went in, only to see the little man crouching by the table, his thin back slightly arched, his body shaking, obviously crying.

"Your Highness..."

Li Yu walked to Qi Changyi's side, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only silently accompany him, patting his shoulder lightly one after another.

"Cry, it's good to cry out, vent it, it's better than holding it in silently..."

Just as he was talking, Li Yu glanced out of the window, and then exclaimed.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, take a look! Look at what is in the garden!"

Qi Changyi was still immersed in great sadness, raised his head with tears in his eyes, and looked out through the window.

I could only see a few dry willow trees outside the window covered with bright red lights, most of which were blocked, and I couldn't see clearly.

"Your Highness, why don't we go out and have a look?"

Qi Changyi looked at the window for a while, then finally nodded, and let Li Yu bring him a heavy cloak to put on.

This cloak is fiery red, even the fluffy collar on it is red.

Opening the door of the small building, Qi Changyi stopped in his tracks.

The whole back garden was actually hung with lanterns, the lanterns were in the shape of a bunny, with a small red lotus on its head, emitting bright red light.

All the lanterns were lit up, and the entire backyard was brightly lit. There were several lanterns hung on each tree, like red lotuses blooming on willow branches.

"Your Highness, those people who are busy in the garden today are hanging these lanterns. They are so beautiful."

Qi Changyi looked at the lanterns all over the garden, his eyes became hot again, he raised his head slightly to force the tears back into his eyes, and then walked out.

The trail that I walked many times during the day is now so bright that I can see every small stone clearly.

Qi Changyi stood under a tree and held out a lamp.

The workmanship of the lantern is very exquisite, whether it is a rabbit or a red lotus, the lines are meticulous, like a living thing, it can be seen that it is made by a famous craftsman.

It was much better than the one given to him by Brother Pei on the street last time.

However, it wasn't the one he lost after all.

It has been a long time since the parade of lanterns, and there are almost no small vendors selling lanterns on the street, so where did these lanterns come from?

"Your Highness, last time you searched the streets for a long time but couldn't find it, could it be this?"

Qi Changyi carefully let go of his hand, and let the lamp hang back to its original place. He stood under the tree and looked up at the red light of the tree, and nodded slightly.

"Last time we searched so many houses but couldn't find them. It seems that these lamps should be custom-made."

Qi Changyi's eyes were brightened by the red light, and he finally seemed to have regained some energy.

Li Yu supported Qi Changyi and walked back and forth in the back garden a few times.

Qi Changyi seemed to have some obsession, and he had to walk and look at all the places illuminated by the lantern to feel at ease.

But after walking for so long, his body was already freezing cold.

"Your Highness, let's go back to warm up for a while, these lights will not be removed, you can keep them for tomorrow, or look at them later."

Qi Changyi stubbornly refused to go back, and continued to walk around the huge backyard.

—A gust of cold wind blows, and the wind pierces through the thick clothes like an ice knife and drills inside.

Qi Changyi suddenly took a breath of cold air, and then began to bend over and cough. At first, he only coughed a few times, but the coughing became more severe and heart-piercing as he went back.

Li Yu panicked, now there is no one in the back garden, and all the people in the prime minister's mansion have gathered in the front yard to be busy, what if something happens to His Highness.

He handed over a handkerchief, Qi Changyi covered his lips with the handkerchief and coughed again.

After the cough finally calmed down, Li Yu took the handkerchief back and was shocked all over.

Before the snow-white handkerchief was opened, bright red marks could be seen oozing out. What was coughed up was blood!

Li Yu's hand trembled so much that he could hardly hold the handkerchief, he hurriedly put the handkerchief away, and the corners of his eyes turned red.

He had heard from Physician Jiang before that His Highness's body was riddled with holes. If he wanted to recover completely, he could not rely solely on external adjustments. His Highness's state of mind was the most important hurdle.

If the stagnation in the heart cannot be untied, or even accumulates, the damage caused is immeasurable.

Li Yu couldn't remember how long it had been since he saw a smile on His Highness's face. He refused to speak these days, and now he coughed up such a big mouthful of blood without any injuries.

After drinking so many medicines, none of them can cure His Highness's heart disease...

Finally, they reached the exit of the back garden, and the two of them walked through every corner of the back garden.

Now standing in front of the exit, Qi Changyi stared at the darkness outside in a daze.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is very large, and the back garden is at the innermost position, and there is still some distance from the front yard. Standing here, it is completely impossible to know what is going on in the front yard.

"Your Highness," Li Yu said softly, "Let's go back, shall we? Go back and have a good rest and sleep. There is nothing unusual about this night. It will pass soon, soon..."

Li Yu was at a loss for words after talking about it. In fact, he was also thinking about the front yard all the time. What kind of scene would it be there?

Even he felt so stuffy in his heart, how sad His Highness must be.

"Little Yuzi..."

There was a faint call that was almost inaudible, and the limp call was immediately blown away by the cold wind.

But Li Yu still heard Qi Changyi calling him.

"Your Highness, the servant is here, and the servant is with you." Li Yu's voice was a little choked up.

Qi Changyi looked at the chaotic darkness, "I want to go and see."
