Meng Ye has been under house arrest in Liangguo for ten days.

I don't know what kind of incense Helian Gouyue lit in the hall, Meng Ye couldn't use his body at all these days, and could only lie on the bed all day long.

He lost weight rapidly, ate very little food, refused to take medicine, and regardless of his repeated injuries, he just stared blankly at the sachet hanging on the bed curtain all day long.

In the past ten days, Meng Ye had thoroughly figured out the cause and effect of the whole incident. According to what Liang Bing called Helian Gouyue, his identity as a spice merchant was probably fake.

In fact, what is true about him?Pretending to be a spice merchant in Yanzhou is to get close to him, and he wants to get close to him, saying that he doesn't want to be named so that he can find out when his father patrols and changes defenses after entering the Marquis's mansion smoothly. Even the secret roads and manpower in Yanzhou city It was built step by step with my own help.

It was his indulgence to keep such a white-eyed wolf by his side, which eventually led to the tragic consequences of the destruction of the whole city. The root cause is still his own fault.

Someone opened the door and walked in quickly, bringing the cold winter wind mixed with the heating in the hall, Meng Ye sneezed involuntarily.

As Helian Gouyue sat in front of the bed holding the medicine, Meng Ye smelled the familiar scent of cold cedar on his body. This was the first time he saw Helian Gouyue after he was placed under house arrest.

Meng Ye lowered his eyes and stared at the dark green prince's robe on Helian Gouyue's body. The snowflakes on it hadn't completely melted, and were being smoked by the heating in the hall, slowly melting the water.

Neither of them spoke.

Helian Gouyue blew a spoonful of decoction and pressed it against Meng Ye's lips. Meng Ye glanced at him coldly, knocked down the spoon with a flick of his hand, and all the decoction splashed on the quilt.

Meng Ye stared at him resentfully, with his lips tightly shut, refusing to speak.

Helian Gouyue's eyes roared deeply, he took a sip of the medicine, grabbed Meng Ye's neck, and stuck it against it.

The cold air on the clothes immediately pressed all over Meng Ye's body, raging on the warm skin, and Meng Ye's breathing was stagnant in the silent collision of cold and heat.

The suffocation in his throat forced Meng Ye to open his mouth, and he used the tip of his tongue to resist the force of the intrusion. Helian Gouyue pushed back forcefully. The bitter medicine was poured straight into his throat, and the strong smell of medicine invaded. The whole mouth, the nasal cavity, the bitterness made his palate tense,

As soon as Helian Gouyue backed away, Meng Ye immediately gulped and gasped for breath, but he didn't let go of the force on his neck, and Helian Gouyue took another mouthful of medicine and crossed over.

After repeating this four or five times, Meng Ye swallowed a bowl of medicine before Helian Gouyue let go.

Clear finger marks appeared on Meng Ye's neck. Helian Gouyue stared at him firmly, squeezed his mouth open to confirm that he had swallowed it all, and then gritted her teeth and said, "You don't care about your own life. Don't worry about the lives of the people in your family."

Meng Ye's eyes faintly fluctuated, flashing with vigilance.

Helian Gouyue clapped her hands, and a bodyguard threw a person in. Meng Ye stared and saw that the person being pushed and kneeling on the ground was the old man of the Hou Mansion.

Meng Ye suddenly opened his eyes wide, and suddenly felt that the bitter medicine just stuck in his throat. He covered his neck and coughed violently, his internal organs throbbing with pain.

Helian Gouyue winked, and the guards took him down again.

"You want to use them to threaten me?" Meng Ye's voice was hoarse.

Helian Gouyue took a deep breath, held back her anger and said, "As long as you live well, I won't touch any of the people in your house."

"What about the others? What about the other people in Yanzhou!" Meng Ye's eyes were red, and he stared fiercely at Helian Gouyue. He leaned over and knocked the empty bowl to the ground. Gouyue's feet.

"You killed them, you are the one who deserves to die, why don't you die!" Meng Ye showed a cold smile, "If you die in front of me, I can live a better life."

"You want me to die?" Helian Gouyue stared straight at him, and stared deeply at Meng Ye for a while.

"Think about it." Meng Ye's voice was soft, but his eyes were sharp. "Is His Royal Highness willing to die? Just because of a sentence from me, a prisoner of the enemy country? Hah."

Helian Gouyue picked up a piece of broken porcelain and put it in the palm of Meng Ye's hand. Before Meng Ye could react, thick blood had already flowed down the piece of porcelain onto their hands.

Helian Gouyue snorted, tightly held Meng Ye's hand and pushed another inch towards her chest, and asked, "Is that enough? Does this make you feel at ease?"

Meng Ye snorted coldly, seeing that there was no fluctuation in his gaze, he struggled to bump his wrist against the Broken Porcelain, Helian Gouyue was startled, and quickly withdrew his hand, the Broken Porcelain was still in Meng Ye's hands. There was a stroke on the arm.

"If you kill me now, I will feel more at ease." Meng Ye didn't seem to see the wound on his arm.

Helian Gouyue ignored that her chest was still bleeding, reached out to take Meng Ye's hand, tore off a piece of white cloth, and bandaged him up.

The always cold eyes softened, and Helian Gouyue lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "Even if I die, I will not kill you."

Meng Ye sneered, thinking it was absurd, but the one who ruined everything pretended to be affectionate here, it was disgusting.

Realizing that Meng Ye's mocking gaze was cast on her face, Helian Gouyue hesitated for a moment and added, "I can't kill you."

He smiled very shallowly, and while treating his wound, he said: "My mother is from Wulan country. She is too stupid. She was tricked out of Wulan country by a few sweet words of a man, and she came here with me. Liangguo. It was only later that she discovered that the man was the prince of Liangguo. The deep affection she thought was just a love affair with the prince when he was frustrated. Although he was a prince, he relied on his wife and mother's family to win the throne and wanted to be loyal to his subordinates. At a family banquet, I gave my mother who was pregnant with me to a courtier who liked to abuse. My mother was tortured day and night while pregnant with me. After giving birth to me, she bit her tongue and committed suicide. I was secretly hidden by a nun she brought We stole it out of the swill bucket, we hid in Tibet for eight years, and finally our father's eldest son, the current crown prince, Qin Chengtao found out."

"My mother died after blocking the knife for me. Since I was eight years old, I have avoided Qin Chengtao's pursuit alone, and I have been among beggars, coolies, and even dead people. Just to save my life, I have killed people and betrayed people. The benefactor who saved my life has done countless ungrateful things. Until I was 17 years old, Qin Chengtao was officially named the prince, and the pursuit after that was more ruthless than every time before. I fled all the way from Liangguo to the border of Liguo. As a spice merchant, I fled to the outskirts of Yanzhou and met you."

Helian Gouyue raised her eyes to look at him, the emotions in her eyes fluctuated slightly, as if puddles of spring water were wrinkled, and the originally cold eyes also showed some warmth, "You saved me, and at the same time, Qin Chengtao also knew that you saved me. He stopped chasing and killing, and wanted me to be a pawn he stayed in Yanzhou."

Helian Gouyue laughed at herself and said: "I am such a lowly person, because you not only have your life, but also the value of living. You are really easy to deceive, as stupid as my mother, and have no guard at all. I want You can give whatever you want, at that time I was thinking, how could there be such a defenseless person."

In this world, there are really people who can treat a stranger with heart and soul, without defense, and such a warm person happened to be met by him, how lucky he is.

Meng Ye's calm eyes slowly turned red because of his words, and his breathing became short of breath. He thought that the first meeting might have been planned by Helian Gouyue, but at this moment, he felt that the truth was not as good as It was Helian Gouyue who had the intention of deceiving him from the very beginning, playing tricks with others, being hunted down in front of her by others.

This is simply mocking Meng Ye's innocence and stupidity over time. He could have avoided everything. If he hadn't saved him back then and let Helian Gouyue die on the outskirts of Yanzhou, nothing would have happened today. occur.

It was the reason why I raised my hand in the past, which caused the tragic result today.

Meng Ye clutched the quilt tightly with his hands, and his veins were throbbing in his hands, but he couldn't shed a single tear, he just thought it was ridiculous, he couldn't even restrain himself from laughing softly, he couldn't help himself, it was really stupid, his viscera They all felt pain, but there was a desolate low smile overflowing from his mouth, how stupid he was.

He laughed at himself relentlessly.

"If I had known today, I would rather let you die in the wild." Meng Ye gritted his teeth and said word by word: "The thing I regret the most in my life is meeting you and saving you."

Helian Gouyue's eyes trembled, and she said softly: "I don't care, I don't care at all."

He repeated, as if speaking to Meng Ye, but also as if speaking to himself.

"The thing you regret most is a blessing to me." Helian Gouyue wanted to hold his hand, but stopped in mid-air when she saw his disgusted expression.

He closed his eyes, and swallowed the bitterness in his heart, they were so close, but like the end of the world.

"Chengze, I heard that you came back in a hurry. Is something wrong with the front line?" With a gust of cold wind entering the house, without anyone's notification, Qin Chengtao walked in, and looked at He who withdrew his hand with a smile that was not a smile. Lian Gouyue—also Qin Chengze, his younger brother who had just recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan.

"Brother Huang." Qin Chengze stood up, restrained the look in his eyes, and saluted Qin Chengtao.

Qin Chengtao glanced lightly at the person on the bed, raised his eyebrows at Qin Chengze, "Is this the young master of the Zhenbeihou Mansion?"

Qin Chengze followed his gaze and glanced at Meng Ye, who was protesting silently. He turned slightly to block Qin Chengtao's gaze, and explained: "Meng Yilin took people to Jinxi, and Meng Ye was in our hands. In the end, it is more appropriate."

Qin Chengtao walked past Qin Chengze calmly, and got a little closer. At this time, Meng Ye also turned his head because he heard about Meng Yilin, and happened to meet Qin Chengtao's eyes.

Qin Chengtao fixed his eyes on the medicine stain at the corner of his mouth, with playful expression in his eyes, and asked Qin Chengze frivolously, "Send me to my house in two days, lend me to play for two days? I really haven't tasted this one. "

Meng Ye glared at him when he heard the words, Qin Chengtao became more interested, stared meaningfully at the blood spilling from Qin Chengze's chest, and said with a light smile, "He's still a prickly, energetic one."

Qin Chengze was stunned for a moment, his pupils flinched, and when he realized what Qin Chengtao meant, he clenched his hands immediately, and with a controlled expression on his face, he lowered his head and said, "Brother Huang is joking, he is just a prisoner, and the minister... also depends on his injury." It's too heavy, I'm afraid he will die, so I put it in the dormitory so that I can take care of him, if he dies, we don't have the bargaining chip to catch Zhenbeihou..."

"This palace has never seen a prisoner living directly in the prince's bedroom." Qin Chengtao said with a warning, "Since you are sick, you should take care of it and send it to my house. Anyway...Your brother It doesn't mean anything else to him, does it?"

Qin Chengze choked back the words of explanation, and didn't know what to say all the while.

A seasoned veteran like Qin Chengtao has never played with someone before. If he was really interested in Meng Ye, he would not choose the day he came back to come here again.

He was just using this method to tell him that he knew his whereabouts well, and that he should obediently be under his grasp.

"My brother would like to follow the prince's instructions." Qin Chengze saluted obediently, his wrists were strained, and his veins were bulging.
