Dianxia Qingcheng

In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the much-anticipated wedding ceremony is about to reach the highlight, worship.

The old man in charge announced that everyone should stay calm and wait for a while, and continue to worship when the auspicious time comes.

Everyone returned to their seats first, drinking, chatting and waiting in twos and threes.

After Pei Zheng and the others dispersed for the time being, still sneering at the corners of his mouth, he led Hong Ling and Qi Bingzhi to the back of the screen in the inner room.

Those good people saw this scene but laughed silently.

As soon as he walked in, Pei Zheng tore off the red silk wrapped around his body, stepped on it mercilessly, and then flipped the hijab on Qi Bingzhi's head to the ground, pinching her neck with cool fingers.

"It was you who pleaded with the emperor to let me release the third princess?"

Qi Bingzhi trembled twice in fear, and said softly, "Yes..."

Pei Zheng looked at her dodging gaze, and squinted his eyes, "Don't be so busy putting on a show of sisterly love, the truth is known, the second princess is very smart."

Qi Yirou's eyes immediately turned red, "My lord, I, I can't understand what you're talking about..."

Pei Zheng tightened his fingers a little, and stared at Qi Bingzhi coldly without saying a word.

At this time, Chengfeng suddenly flashed in without notification, with an anxious expression on his face.

"Master, something happened..."

Pei Zheng let go of Qi Bingzhi. Qi Bingzhi looked very winking, raised his cuff and wiped the corners of his eyes, then silently picked up the red hijab, turned and walked out.

Cheng Feng said, "Master, just now when the people below were patrolling, they found the third princess injured and unconscious in the garden. Li Yu was the only one present. He was also injured, but he refused to say anything."

Pei Zheng's expression changed.

Chengfeng continued, "My subordinate immediately sent someone to the small building to check, but His Highness was not there."

Pei Zheng's eyes suddenly became gloomy, he turned around and walked out of the lobby, ignoring everyone's astonished gazes, and walked quickly to the back garden.

He has been restless all night, that's why he went to the small building before the ceremony. Only when he hugged the little man in his arms could he feel a little more at ease.

After entering the back garden, the lanterns all over the garden were still on, but the small building was completely dark.

In the past, as long as he thought about it, there would always be a little person waiting for him day and night. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, every year, it has been five years.

Five years, nearly two thousand days and nights.

Pei Zheng's heart jumped suddenly, and a nameless irritability surged into his heart instantly. Tonight was different from the past, and he had a strong bad feeling.

Breathing unsteadily, he called for Chengfeng.

"Send someone to look for it, now, immediately!"

Chengfeng reminded, "Master, the people in the hall... After all, tonight is your wedding day..."

Pei Zheng's eyes were frighteningly cold, his fingers under the cuffs were clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were slightly bulging.

Chengfeng didn't say any more immediately, and left in a hurry after receiving the order.

Pei Zheng stood alone in the red light of the back garden, facing the dark void.

The wind at this cliff is very strong, and the moonlight is also shrouded in black clouds. The sky is not clear, as if it is about to change.

Qi Changyi was so cold that he couldn't feel his fingers, and his cloak was cut by stones on the ground.

He moved his body with difficulty, and there was a little pain in his knee. He looked down and found that his kneecap was twisted, but because his legs were frozen, he didn't feel much pain.

It may also be because there are other places that hurt more.

Qi Changyi supported himself and slowly stood up, not daring to exert force on his legs, and slowly walked to the edge of the cliff with some lumps and hesitation.

The cold wind from the bottom of the cliff roared up, blowing the black hair behind him in all directions.

Qi Changyi touched the corners of his eyes, they were a little wet, probably because he was blown out of tears, because he couldn't cry anymore, he had shed too many tears, and he had already shed them all.

The last time I came to this cliff, the wind was not so cold. Brother Pei accompanied him and made him stand far away from the cliff.

What did they say?

Some can't remember clearly, they haven't talked properly for a long time.

And now, he should start paying homage.

A match made in heaven, a match made in heaven.

What about yourself, what is yourself?

Maybe it doesn't count. Brother Pei doesn't care about himself, does he?

I don't care about his feelings, I don't care about his likes, and now I don't even care about whether he is there or not.

Once married, someone will be able to call him husband in a legitimate way, and he will have a smooth official career and great power.

Then, the house is full of children and grandchildren, and they become famous.

And I have nothing, and there is nothing behind me.

Qi Changyi sat down slowly, his calf dangling on the edge of the cliff, he didn't feel scared at all, he just sat there blankly, looking at the night sky.

It's a pity that we can't see the stars tonight.

Rubbing his eyes, he still couldn't see it, and reached out to touch the illusory moon, but it was too far away to touch it.

My eyes seem to be a little blurry, how come I seem to see that happy look again, bright red, bright, lingering in front of my eyes.

Qi Changyi really stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes a few times. He was so tired that he was out of breath, a thin layer of sweat covered his forehead, and his clothes were loosened a little, causing the cold wind to squeeze in.

He didn't seem to feel the cold anymore, anyway, his body was already completely frozen.

With the urge to cough again, a bloody breath surged in his throat, Qi Changyi clutched his chest and suppressed it desperately.

He suddenly had a feeling that his body couldn't last tonight.

"Brother Pei"

Qi Changyi shouted.

Only in this deserted cliff and wilderness did he dare to speak out what was on his mind.

How long have you been locked in that small building?Being with the bitter medicinal soup every day was boring, he wanted to get out of there, to go out.

But no one can solve the depression in my heart, but I am powerless to resist, and it accumulates day and night...

"Brother Pei"

You said, always believe in you, stand by your side, never leave you...

I did it, but this time you left me first. You chose someone else and became someone else's husband. I am nothing, so I will leave by myself.

Just this time, I didn't listen to you, and didn't obediently wait for you to come back...

If I leave and don't bother you anymore, will you be happy...

"Brother Pei"

I still remember the first time we met, white snow and red plums, such a beautiful scene, but unfortunately I have never seen such a big snow again.

It hasn't snowed yet this year, so I don't know if it will be heavier.

I don't know if I will see you again in the future...

"Pei, Brother Pei..."

I have blamed you and hated you for the matter of the mother and concubine, but, but...

All the complicated emotions can't compare to I love you...

I love you and I am in pain.

The concubine mother said not to hate others easily, because hate makes people suffer, but why does love make me suffer like this.

I'm dying in pain...

Painfully wanting to die...

The small figure on the edge of the cliff curled up, buried his head in his arms, looked deserted, and breathed so lightly that he seemed to be able to dissipate with the cold wind in the next moment.

I don't know how long I sat there, but the night was getting darker and darker.

Qi Changyi moved his stiff body, and the fiery red cloak behind him tightened a little more.

Suddenly, the light of torches flashed down the mountain. At first, there were only a few dots, and then more and more, moving towards the mountain extremely fast.

Qi Changyi looked at the torches that were getting closer and closer, and couldn't help becoming nervous. He tried to stand up, but his legs didn't work, and he was very strange.

There was a dense sound of horseshoes coming from the woods behind them, pattering, like a gradually closing cage, attacking towards the edge of the cliff.

A horse rushed out of the woods first, and Pei Zheng who was on the horse was dressed in a bright red dress, and he hadn't had time to change it.

He saw the little man sitting on the edge of the cliff, turned over and jumped off the horse.

The people who followed behind also arrived, and the torches illuminated the cliff.

The crowd did not dare to act rashly, and quietly surrounded the cliff layer by layer.

"Your Highness," Pei Zheng took a step forward, "It's windy there, come here."

Qi Changyi heard Pei Zheng's voice, turned around, saw the red color on his body, was startled, and moved a couple of points towards the edge of the cliff.

"Don't come here..."

Pei Zheng stopped where he was, "Okay, I won't go, you come to my side, okay?"

Qi Changyi shook his head and stared ahead.

"Brother Pei"

"Ah."

"You go..."

Pei Zheng froze and squeezed his fingers tightly, "What?"

Qi Changyi lowered his head, and found that his newly grown nail had cracked again at some point, and now the blood had solidified.

"You go, I, I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back with you..."

Pei Zheng didn't move, the fire was shining in his eyes, the gloomyness was darker than the night, he stared closely at the little figure trembling in the cold wind, suppressing the urge to rush over and pull him back.

Qi Changyi clenched his small fist, and the broken nail dug into the tender palm, and some blood bleed out again, the warmth made the little man regain some sense of touch.

He bit his lips tightly, stood up tremblingly, and turned around to face the crowd.

Behind him is a pitch-black abyss, and in front of him is an impenetrable wall of torches.

Qi Changyi's fiery red cloak fluttered and fluttered in the wind, his black hair parted in the wind, a bit of white collarbone was exposed at the neckline, and he could see the most enchanting red lotus petals.

And this little person standing in the wind is like a fiery red lotus blooming in the cold winter.

It's just that this red lotus looks charming and charming on the outside, but inside it's actually dilapidated and full of ashes.

"Brother Pei, I want to tell you that in the past, I lived very happily in those days. Although you sometimes treated me very badly, I was still very happy...It is my blessing to know you, but my blessing It seems to have run out..."

Qi Changyi's body was slowly moving back, as if he thought of something from the past, his eyes were full of pain.

"Long memory, which means long-term memory. If love is exhausted, fill it with hate. Whether it is love or hate, you must always remember me."

Qi Changyi half of the sole of his foot is already in the air, "Brother Pei, it's hard to hate someone, but it's even more difficult to love someone... I'm so stupid, I can't do both hate and love well... So, I don't want to do it anymore... "

He sighed softly, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If there is a next life, I must become smarter, and we must not become the same as we are now.

It looks like this..."

There was a sudden chill on his cheeks, Qi Changyi wiped it with his hand, there were some slight water stains.

Then more coolness fell on the hands, one by one, more and more dense.

Qi Changyi raised his head, and there were pieces of crystal clear white falling down in front of his eyes, blown by the wind and flying all over the sky, like silver butterflies chasing and playing, it was too beautiful to behold.

It is snow.

Snowing.

After holding back the cold weather for so long, the first snow finally fell tonight.

Qi Changyi's ashen eyes flickered, and he reached out to catch a few snowflakes. His palm was too cold, and it took a long time for the snowflakes to melt, turning into puddles of small water stains.

The crowd holding the torches couldn't help being a little distracted, looking up at the little bits of white falling from the sky, more and more falling, and all piled up under their feet.Pei Zheng had been staring at the little man intently, seeing that his body was teetering on the edge of the cliff, and his heart seemed to be pulled out and placed on the edge of the cliff.Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say a word anymore, his chest was so heavy.

Come back with me, I have a lot to say to you, I thought it would not be too late to say it later, I thought it was not the time to say it.

But there is no future, no exact timing...

Your Highness, come here first and go back with me first, okay?

Suddenly, the man on the edge of the cliff looked at Pei Zheng, moved his lips slightly, and said something silently, then closed his eyes, and fell limply backwards.

Pei Zheng almost rushed directly to the edge of the cliff, and stretched out his hand towards the void. He wanted to grab a warm and soft body, but what he grabbed was only a broken cloak fluttering in the wind.

Before the guards holding torches had time to react, they saw two figures on the edge of the cliff fall down one after another.

Cheng Feng turned pale with fright, rushed to the edge of the cliff, and shouted, "Master!"

But it was pitch black below the cliff, only the whistling and circling wind, nothing else could be heard or seen.

"Go down and find!"

"Yes!"

The guards retreated into the forest neatly and quickly, heading down the mountain as fast as they could.

—Under the gray moonlight, there was a lot of snow.

I searched at the foot of the mountain all night, but found nothing.

It wasn't until it was almost dawn that someone found Pei Zheng's jade plaque by the side of a stream, and hurriedly reported it to Chengfeng.

Chengfeng immediately led people to continue searching along the small stream, and found a large ancient pool.

The weather was so cold, but the water in that ancient pool did not freeze, and Pei Zheng was lying on the bank of that ancient pool, covered in bloodstains.

Chengfeng went over to try it out, his breathing was very weak, he seemed to be seriously injured and unconscious, he immediately sent someone to send Pei Zheng back, and he stayed to continue

Follow to find the prince.

He knew that if the master woke up, he would let himself continue to search here.

After Pei Zheng was sent away, a group of people circled the ancient pool many times, but found no trace of the prince.

Not even a trace of other blood was found.

Could it be that His Highness fell to another place?

I searched for another whole day, but the area at the foot of the mountain is too large, and I don't know when I will be able to search it all.

Chengfeng returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and the officials who had come to the mansion to attend the wedding ceremony had already been sent away.

Holding Pei Zheng's token, he mobilized the imperial guards on his own initiative, and together with all the guards in the mansion, he must search the foot of the mountain as quickly as possible.

When Jiang Yubai came back from taking the emperor's pulse when he went to the imperial hospital, he was taken away by Chengfeng before he could put down the medicine box on his body.

When he came to the prime minister's mansion, Jiang Yubai didn't know what happened, but he saw Pei Zheng lying motionless on the bed, his breath was faint, and he looked like he was dying.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he hurried over to get Pei Zheng's pulse.

"The pulse is weak, the body has been severely injured, the internal force is very disordered, the internal organs have been greatly shocked, and the internal bleeding is serious..."

He took out his silver needle and asked Chengfeng to take off Pei Zheng's clothes so that the needle could be inserted easily.

The red wedding dress has been scratched to pieces by countless willows, and the wounds are standing one by one mixed with flesh and blood. Because of the cold weather, the blood has already dried up.

"Take it off!"

Chengfeng hurriedly took off his clothes vigorously, and the flesh and blood from the wounds were torn open immediately, and the blood gushed out instantly, wetting the bed under Pei Zheng.

These wounds are not the most important, the key is the viscera injured by the concussion.

Jiang Yubai hurriedly gave the needle, and temporarily stabilized the illusory breathing of the person on the bed.

"Make the fire more intense. His body is cold, and if he doesn't warm up for a while, he will be completely cold."

Jiang Yubai hurriedly prescribed another prescription, and ordered people to go down to grab the medicine and suffer, while he continued to check the symptoms of the person on the bed.

At this time, a guard in black hurried in from the outside, his body covered in white snowflakes.

"Reporting to the chief, I have searched with all my strength three times, but I still haven't found any trace of the prince. The mountain will be covered by snow, and it will be even more difficult to search in the snow..."

Jiang Yubai's hand that was getting the needle suddenly froze.

Chengfeng strode over and grabbed the guard's collar tightly, "What do you mean!"

The guard's voice was very low, "What this subordinate means is that this matter is too strange. The prince seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and he can't be found..."

"Continue to search! If you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies, if you can't find anyone after the master wakes up, all of you are waiting to be buried with him!"

The guard answered "yes" in a panic, and hastily pushed open the door and rushed into Daxue.

Chengfeng turned around, and saw Jiang Yubai standing in front of him.

"What did he just say? Prince, disappeared?" Jiang Yubai stared at Chengfeng closely, "What the hell is going on! How did Pei Zheng suffer such serious injuries? Where did His Highness go?"

Chengfeng lowered his eyes, "I'll tell you when the master wakes up."

Jiang Yubai glared at him angrily, clenched his fists tightly, trying hard to regain his sanity.

Now Pei Zheng's situation is very bad. When it's not the time to be impulsive, he should really treat Pei Zheng first.

"I'm going back to Tai Hospital."

After hearing this, Chengfeng held his wrist tightly, "No."

Jiang Yubai was so angry that he yelled, "No, no, no! I'll go back to get the medicine and save your master! Otherwise, will you watch him die first!"

Chengfeng was stunned, and slowly let go of his hand, moved away from his body, and didn't say a word.

Jiang Yubai pushed the door directly and went out, leaving behind the wind and snow that swept into the room.

After getting back the life-saving pill, he fed it to Pei Zheng.

Jiang Yubai was just doing his bounden duty of curing diseases and saving lives, and he never gave Chengfeng a look.

The emperor sent someone to greet him, and knowing that Pei Zheng was trying to save the prince, they fell off the cliff together. He didn't blame him too much, and only sent some precious medicinal materials.

After the visiting father-in-law returned to the palace, he reported to the emperor that the prince's whereabouts were still unknown.

The five supreme emperors suddenly blushed and stood by the window looking at the heavy snow outside.

After a long time, he raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and the father-in-law behind him immediately brought over a gold silk handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, don't be too sad, take care of yourself..."

"Tell me, did I go too far?" The emperor didn't take the handkerchief.

"My son, but I can't treat him well. Only by ignoring him, ignoring him, or even treating him maliciously, can I save him... I am not a good father, and I have no words to face Ning'er..."

The father-in-law comforted and said, "Your Majesty, I can't blame you. When Concubine Ning Guifei did something like that, the fourth prince knew how to protect himself wisely, but the prince was asked to be executed together by the court ministers. If you didn't try your best to stop him, I'm afraid the prince will kill you." It's been a long time... hey..."

The emperor walked out of the gate of the palace alone, "I know that he and Pei Zheng... But the world doesn't allow such deviant things, I entrusted him to Pei Zheng because I thought he should be happier outside than in the palace, However, due to the turmoil in the court, I had to issue some orders..."

The emperor stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake, and the corners of his eyes became moist again, "That child must have been heartbroken a long time ago..."

Everyone thought that there would be no more snow this year, but unexpectedly it was so heavy that it didn't stop for several days.

Everything in the world is covered by this pure whiteness, and the whiteness stretches for thousands of miles, with no end in sight.

The plum garden in the back garden of the prime minister's mansion was as red as the sea, and it bloomed extremely coquettishly under the sky full of white. There were still some dilapidated lanterns hanging in the garden, which had been blown to pieces by the cold wind, but there was no one there. take off.

Pei Zheng was in a coma for five whole days.

His consciousness sometimes disappears, his eyes are so sleepy that he can't open it, and every part of his body seems to be tightly imprisoned, unable to move.

He can only be deeply trapped in a chaotic darkness, sinking and struggling, unable to see a ray of light.

In his embrace, that warm and soft mass, bright, bright, wantonly rooting and sprouting in his body, what is it?

And it seemed like there was nothing.

No, before closing his eyes, during the rapid fall, he clearly hugged the little person, whose whole body was cold, he rubbed it into his arms and hugged him tightly.

How could it be gone...

How desperate would it be to feel tired even to live, because he couldn't see the way forward and had no way out, so he was forced to that cliff.

The once so fiery red and warm light hit a crack in his cold and hard heart, but now it suddenly withdraws the light, leaving him alone in the endless dark field.

Don't think about it.

Don't think about it.

I don't think about it!

Don't even think about leaving!

The person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were scarlet.
