After that, I lay there for a while, and my whole body seemed to be connected with the mattress. Anyone who tried to move me away from it would undoubtedly kill me. In such a weak state, I still

I would wake up from time to time, and sometimes I would vaguely see Pei Yuanhao sitting by the bed and looking at me.

It seems like now.

I couldn't tell whether I was in a dream or a display. The sun shined on my face through the curtains in front of me, and there was a milky white light around me. I just felt that I was about to fall asleep again, but I felt like I was being held in my heart.

A small fire was slowly simmering, making it impossible for me to pass out like this.

When I thought of this, I stretched out my hand and grabbed the curtain and pulled it.

The man outside felt the movement and hurriedly reached out to lift the curtain and looked down at me: "Light?"

As he spoke, he leaned down and picked me up. I fell weakly into his arms. I even had very little strength to breathe. I just opened my mouth desperately to speak, but I didn't speak for several days.

, at this time, the throat feels like it is filled with gravel, which is so grinding that it almost bleeds, and it is difficult to make a sound.

He looked at my struggling look and hurriedly lowered his head: "What are you going to say?"

My lips were close to his ear, and I finally struggled to squeeze out two words from my throat: "Li...er..."

He seemed to be surprised and looked at me in astonishment. After I said these two words, I no longer had the strength to do anything and slowly fell into darkness again.

This time, I slept even more uneasily than before. I always felt like I was on a battlefield with thousands of horses galloping around. Even the earth was shaken so hard that I couldn't stand still. I could even hear very noisy sounds in my ears.

The sound and the restless feeling made me frown slightly and opened my eyes.

The sun is dazzling than ever before.

I was so stimulated that I immediately closed my eyes, but at that moment, I had already seen a familiar figure.

It’s Pei Yuanhao!

I seemed to feel something in my heart. I slowly opened my eyes again, and then I realized that I was being carried out by him. The sun shone on my face, causing a slightly hot feeling. He looked down at me.

, and said: "Open!"

Open?

I was still a little confused when I heard several people around me busy working together. I subconsciously turned around and saw him carrying me to a carriage. The maids opened the curtain and saw that there were soft and thick mattresses inside.

, and the maids brought a mat, and when everything was ready, he carefully put me in.

This jolt made me cough, but it was precisely because of the cough that I became more awake.

The moment he put him into the carriage, my eyes saw behind him, at the gate of the state capital, a water-red figure standing there.

Under such dazzling sunlight, her face as fair as jade still has no flaws at all, and she is as beautiful as the person in the painting. However, her expression is a little lonely, even a bit sickly, the corners of her eyes are slightly red, and her lips are pale. There is no blood color, but just like this, it adds a bit of morbid softness, making people almost want to hold her in their hands to protect and pity her.

However, when I saw her, I felt that all the sunlight dimmed.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao had already put me into the carriage. He looked down at me and was about to turn around and leave. I didn't know where I got the strength to grab his sleeve.

Because of the excessive force, the joints of the fingers turned white.

He looked down at my hands and then at me. He felt the anger in my eyes, and he frowned slightly.

The carriage was not big, and the two people already gave off a bad atmosphere at this time. I even saw the maid and guard standing next to the carriage taking two cautious steps back.

He looked into my eyes and suddenly seemed to remember something. He glanced at the door, was silent for a moment, then leaned down and said to me: "Let's go back to Texas now."

Texas!

As soon as I heard this, my hands loosened up.

Back to Texas, back to Texas...

Li'er, I can finally go back to Texas to find my daughter...

The heart that had been tightly clenched slowly relaxed. I let go of his sleeves, and my whole body seemed to soften. The way he looked at me, his brows furrowed tighter and he fell silent. After a while, he said: "You have a good rest, there is still a long way to go."

I glanced at him, said nothing, and closed my eyes sadly.

I heard him get out of the car and give some instructions to the maid outside. Then two maids climbed up carefully and knelt down next to me. They tucked me in and didn't dare to say anything. They just stayed there quietly. Stay with me.

Although I was weak, I could hear every sound outside the carriage very clearly at this moment, including his footsteps. I walked slowly over and seemed to stop somewhere, and then I heard his low voice. The sound, then, was a very soft and soft "hmm".

That sound made me break into a cold sweat.

"Madam, are you-are you okay? Your face looks so ugly."

When the maid on the side saw me like this, she hurriedly took out a soft silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat on my face. I glanced at her, but didn't say anything after all, and just slowly closed my eyes.

I couldn't fall asleep again on the way. Every time the carriage drove further south, my heart became tighter. When I thought that I would see Li'er soon, I thought about what was entangled in thousands of twists and turns. I can't relax at all.

The carriage didn't move very fast, maybe because everyone knew there were patients here, and the two maids took good care of me. After a while, they would feed me some ginseng soup to boost my energy. I also felt that my hands and feet were slowly getting a little stronger.

, unlike the last few days when I collapsed on the bed and had no energy.

When the maid cooked millet porridge with warm ginseng soup and fed it to my mouth for the fifth time, I vaguely heard some voices outside and asked, "What time is it?"

"Madam, it's almost midnight."

"Where are you?"

The maid carefully opened the curtain and took a look outside, and said with a smile: "We have entered Dezhou City."

As soon as I heard this, I suddenly became more energetic, and I hurriedly tried to get up, but I still fell down softly. The maid hurriedly said: "Madam, don't worry, it will be a while before we get to the state capital. Let's eat some more and stay healthy."

Keep your spirits up."

As he said that, he put another spoonful of soup to my mouth. Although I had completely lost my appetite, I still ate it.

After a while, the sounds of people around became louder and louder, as if the whole city had woken up. After the carriage had been driving for a while, it heard a shout from the front and slowly stopped.

Here we are, in Dezhou!

I was trembling with excitement. Thinking back, I had been away from Li'er for a long time. The last time I was here, I watched her crying towards me, but Pei Yuanhao wouldn't let me go back to hug her, and I

I can only leave her cruelly. Now that I think about it, I am really sorry for my daughter. This time when I return to her, I will never leave her even half a step, and I will never let her suffer any grievances.

When the two maids saw me trying to get up, they hurriedly came over to help me, and carefully opened the curtain, and the cool morning light outside immediately entered the carriage.

And at a glance, I saw people kneeling in front of the state capital.

I couldn't help but frown.

Pei Yuanhao is the emperor. It is normal etiquette for officials to kneel down to greet him wherever he goes. However, he should wait until the emperor gets off the chariot and then kneel down to salute. Why is there such a sea of ​​people kneeling on the ground now? It’s not like that

It's a salute, but it's like apologizing.

I reached out to hold the car door, and the two maids also held me carefully. When I looked out, I saw the curtain of a carriage in front of me was opened. Someone immediately stepped forward and greeted Pei Yuanhao respectfully.

Come down.

As if afraid of the cold, the curtain immediately closed again.

But just between opening and closing, I had already seen a water-red shadow inside, and it disappeared in a flash.

At this time, I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest, and I gasped slightly. The maid hurriedly stroked my chest: "Madam, madam, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

"..." I didn't say anything, I just waved my hand gently, and then I saw Pei Yuanhao walking forward, frowning slightly and looking at the officials who were kneeling on the ground.

The person kneeling at the front, I have seen, was the state shepherd of Dezhou. At this time, he had already placed his black gauze hat on the ground. When he saw Pei Yuanhao coming over, he immediately kowtowed to the ground, making a loud banging sound, and only a few seconds later.

Next, my forehead was cut and blood flowed all over my face.

Pei Yuanhao didn't speak, just looked at him, his face slowly turning livid.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare my life!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, all the officials around him kowtowed, and for a moment they watched everyone desperately begging for mercy from him.

I looked at the crowd, but no one came out holding my son, not even a familiar figure. At this moment, my heart sank, and I hurriedly tried to get out of the car, but the two maids couldn't stop me.

, they could only half support and half hug me. As soon as my feet touched the ground, my whole body almost went limp, so I could only hold them hard.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao had already said in a deep voice: "Say!"

He almost gritted his teeth when he said this word. No one would doubt that if Zhou Mu's words dissatisfied him, he would chop off his head without hesitation.

The Zhou Mu's face was covered with blood at this moment. When he heard his voice, he trembled again, and then he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen... Wei Chen deserves death. Wei Chen... was not protected well."

...Princess Li..."

There was a buzzing sound in my head, and suddenly everything went dark.

What?

Didn’t you protect Princess Li?

My daughter is not protected well?

I don't know how long it took, but I heard the maid who was supporting me calling me desperately, and then I slowly regained consciousness. I saw Pei Yuanhao's face was ashen, and his eyes were blood red, staring at the Zhou Mu. The Zhou Mu said tremblingly: "

Just the day before yesterday, a group of people suddenly attacked Princess Li's villa. Princess Li..."
