As Su Su said, the weather is indeed going to change.

The next day, the whole day was covered with clouds, and the thick dark clouds were like a dark hand covering the ground, without a trace of wind, and the feeling of depression that was almost impossible to breathe was even more oppressing the human body at any time.

Pei Yuanxiu went out early in the morning and did not come back until late at night.

When he came back, I had been lying in bed for a long time.

However, lying down is one thing, and whether you can fall asleep is another. For these days, I have been watching the sky outside the window with my eyes open every night, so when he pushed the door in, I immediately felt the cool breeze blowing in from outside the door, blowing the tent beside the bed.

But I lay motionless and didn't look back.

After Pei Yuanxiu walked in, Xiaoni and Xixi hurried over to serve. He washed his hands, changed his clothes, and asked me how much food I ate today and when I slept. Xiaoni and the others answered one by one, and then he waved his hand: "You all go down."

"yes."

After the second maid left, he closed the door. The tent that was originally blown away was quiet at this moment, but his shadow appeared on the wall. He slowly walked to the edge of the bed, supported himself on the bed with one hand, and slowly bent down. He felt his breath getting closer and closer, almost touching my ears. The hot feeling made my hands hidden in the thin quilt clench subconsciously tighten.

Then, a kiss fell gently on my neck.

At this time, no matter how hard I didn't move, I slowly turned my head and looked at him with half-squinted eyes: "Yuan Xiu? Are you back?"

He looked at me with a smile: "I woke you up?"

I rubbed my eyes, didn't say anything, just asked, "When is it?"

"It's going to be the third update."

"It's so late! Then you go to bed quickly."

He leaned over to look at me, wondering if it was because the candlelight beside the bed was swaying, his eyes were also flashing, and I rubbed my eyes tiredly, turned around and said softly: "Go to bed early and get up early tomorrow."

“…”

After being silent for a long time, he let out a soft "hmm".

Then, I felt him take off his clothes and go to bed, and his body approached me with a little cool breath, but soon, the slightly cool breath became warmer in the bed curtain.

He said softly: "Qingying."

"……Um?"

"You still have a heavy nasal sound when you speak, are you catching a cold?"

"……Um."

"Did you wander outside for a long time last night?"

I didn't say anything, but turned over again, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

This man who was close to me looked at me quietly for a long time. I could hear his long breathing and warm breath blew between my neck. After a long time, he sighed lightly, then reached out to hold me and fell asleep.

By the morning of the third day, it was already past the hour and the sky was still dark, as if it was in the evening.

I helped Miaoyan, who was sitting in the chair, combed her hair. Two pink ribbons fell from her bun and gently brushed across her pink cheeks, making her look particularly beautiful and charming.

Although she can no longer run around and go out to cause trouble like she did in the past, I still matched her with the clothes she had to wear every day and comb her unique hairstyle, so that she looked beautiful every day, as if she would jump out of the chair and jump into my arms at any time.

I'm waiting for that day.

After I finished combing, I carefully prepared her hairband, and then said to Susu: "Today, my young master and I are going to Yangzhou, and we may not be back late. Please take good care of Miaoyan."

Su Su nodded quickly: "Yes, Miss."

I also knew that she was doing things well, so I didn't say anything else. I just bent down and kissed Miaoyan gently on the forehead, and then said, "Miaoyan, Mom and your father cross the river together today to see your third uncle off, you are at home obediently."

If I had gone over and mentioned her third uncle, this girl would definitely jump up and shout to go together, but now she was still sitting there quietly. Her eyes were covered with chaotic light. I couldn't help feeling sad, and my eyes were almost red. At this time, Pei Yuanxiu's voice sounded at the door, saying, "Qingying, time is coming."

"good."

I agreed, looked back at Miaoyan, gently stroked her long soft hair, and then turned around and left.

As soon as I left the inner courtyard, I saw Pei Yuanxiu standing at the bridge, following several servants behind me. When I saw me coming out, I smiled and greeted me, "Are you all ready?"

"Um."

"Okay, let's go."

Without saying anything, he held my hand and walked out of the yard. I didn't shy anything, I was just led by him so calmly until I walked to the gate and saw a group of carriages outside. I clearly saw that the slightly lifted curtains of Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong showed the faces of Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong.

I was stunned: "You guys--"

When Han Ruoshi saw me, her face was filled with smiles: "Sister Qingying, get in the car quickly."

I turned to look at Pei Yuanxiu, and he said, "Yesterday, Zitong learned about this and said that when he was on the island, Lord Liu also took good care of her. Now he is going to send Lord Liu away, which is a friendship that will be in harmony with the troubles."

“…is it?”

"Miss Ruoshi said that since Lord Liu had taken care of Zitong, as her sister, she also wanted to go over and send him a trip."

“…”

I raised my head and looked at the two almost identical faces that appeared behind the curtain, but had completely different expressions and emotions. I was silent for a moment, and I didn't say anything else. When the carriage reached us, Pei Yuanxiu helped me and the two got on the carriage together.

When we arrived at the pier and crossed the river, the sky was still gloomy, and even the entire river surface became chaotic. Looking back on that night, I looked at the floating lights of a river on the red boat. The gorgeous scenery is still unforgettable, but the joyful event congratulated by such a scenery has become a funeral; the newcomer that night, now one soul returns to the nine springs, and the other is about to behead him today.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! What a irony, what a world is, and how impermanent it is.

I sat on the boat and looked at the gray river. There seemed to be a lot of ships coming and going today, especially those from Jinling to Yangzhou. They were all small boats, ranging from three to five people to wait for, and they were all young and strong men.

I immediately felt something was wrong, but when I turned around, I saw Pei Yuanxiu and the others sitting there quietly, looking at the scenery on the river, and naturally, I also saw these.

Suddenly, I also understood.

After all, they are going to Yangzhou, which can be regarded as an enemy camp. Although Pei Yuanhao may not have the energy to fight with them again today, he still has to send out many guards to prepare for the situation.

We were not on a big boat. We drove for a long time before we finally landed, but unexpectedly found that the fish market near the dock was also particularly deserted today. Not only did no one come to the market to buy things, but there were not even many people setting up stalls, which seemed particularly deserted and deserted.

I glanced at them, then followed Pei Yuanxiu and the others into the carriage. The carriage had just begun to drive on the small road very slowly, and was constantly shaken by the uneven bluestone road. After getting on the avenue, the speed increased faster, and soon I felt the West Market.

This is also the place where Yangzhou Prefecture executes its execution.

Before I got off the bus, I heard the particularly noisy sound outside. Compared to the lively Yangzhou Market, which is usually crowded with people, today, the crowds here are so crowded that it is surprising. I subconsciously lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out, and was shocked.

There were not only people coming and going outside, but it was crowded with people, one after another. It seemed that all the people in Yangzhou City had come here. Looking around, they could only see a dark head huddle and sweating profusely. Even if there were no small shops on both sides of the avenue, they could not accommodate so many people at all. In many places, even the tents of the poles on the corners of the street were squeezed and sun-shaded.

What an amazing scene.

I stared blankly at the crowded street in front of me. At this time, a few more people ran past our carriage. They saw that they were old old men and aunts, and they were talking while walking forward.

"Is it true? Is it really going to kill Lord Liu today?"

"There are still mistakes? The imperial list has been released."

"Mr. Liu is a good person and a good official, so he can't be killed."

"Kill him, Yangzhou and Jiangnan, who will take care of it!"

"Yes, let's go and ask for your order, go!"

...

Seeing them walking away, I couldn't even say a word when I saw this scene. When Han Zitong and the others saw me in shock, they hurriedly moved over to look outside. Looking at the crowded scenes of the people, they all frowned.

At this moment, the driver who was driving the bus in front said, "Young master, madam, two ladies."

"What's going on?"

"The carriage can't be passed."

"ah?"

"There are too many people, and the road is already blocked."

When Pei Yuanxiu heard this, before he could speak, Han Zitong frowned like a spring willow-like eyebrows and said, "The road is blocked, can you not open the road?"

After saying this, the coachman outside was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only wave the whip again. Then he heard the whip tips hit loud and even harsh whip flowers in the air, and the sound of the crackling sound. He waved the whip and shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Suddenly, people outside started to clamor.

"What are you doing?"

"Give Way!"

"Even people can't squeeze out here, how can you give way?"

"That's right, if you have the ability, come down and walk over by yourself!"

"you--!"

Seeing that the common people outside were excited, they were beaten by the coachman several rounds of whip flowers, and they all spread their anger on him, making it even harder to move forward.

I thought about it and said, "Forget it, it's hard to get over the carriage like this. We'd better get off the carriage and walk over. There's only one way."

Hearing me say this, Pei Yuanxiu nodded: "That's it."

Although Han Ruoshi was still a little unhappy, she saw that I spoke and Pei Yuanxiu agreed, so she couldn't say anything else. She could only get off the carriage with grievance. Her sister immediately came up to help her, and our group walked forward.

Although it was crowded and crowded, the people sent by Pei Yuanxiu still played a great role. These people were mixed among the people and silently opened the way for us. After a while, we walked to the huge square in the center of the West City.

Here, a wooden platform for execution has been set up. Behind the wooden platform is the place where the executioner issued an order. It is a tall stone platform, with red silk hanging on both sides, and it looks like blood red. On the stone platform, there are five or six tables placed horizontally, with the executioner and several other officials sitting upright.

Two rows of warriors, holding swords in one hand and hips in the other, standing majestic on both sides.

This is the place where the execution is to be executed.

As soon as I saw this place, my breathing became tense, especially the surroundings were so crowded. Although Pei Yuanxiu sent people to block those people around us, a wave of heat still made me feel dizzy because I was steamed.

I looked up and looked around, wanting to see who else was around.

And Xiao Yusheng and the others, where are they?

However, after looking at it, the crowd was filled with strange faces, full of regret, anger, and anxiety, but there was no trace of Xiao Yusheng and the others. I couldn't help but feel cold sweat, but I also knew that he and his brother had always come and go without a trace. If I really saw them in the crowd, I would find it strange and even worried that things would change.

Now they should be hiding somewhere, waiting for the opportunity to come.

Thinking of this, I comforted myself and breathed a sigh of relief.

And just then, I saw a familiar restaurant opposite the street.

The restaurant is three stories high, with windows on the first and second floors closed, only the wide windows on the third floor were not closed, but a thin bamboo curtain was hung from the window, blocking everything inside. Only someone could vaguely see sitting on the seat beside the bed, as if he was drinking with a cup in his hand.

That's February red.

I didn't recognize it at first sight, because I usually go to Eryuehong directly through the main entrance, but now I see it on the north side of the restaurant. Of course, I feel a little unfamiliar. The seat with the bamboo curtain hanging down, if I guessed correctly, it should be the place where I went to the restaurant in the past to drink and see the scenery.

And the last time, when I went to February Red—

Just thinking about this, I suddenly felt a stinging pain in my chest.

Pei Yuanxiu lowered his head and looked at me: "What's wrong?"

I hurriedly shook my head: "It's okay."

After saying that, he looked up at the officer who was in charge of the prison on the platform ahead. It was Wu Yanqiu.

Liu Qinghan was originally the chief official of Yangzhou Prefecture, but now he is the one who is being executed. The emperor may only have the emperor appointed him. Naturally, this is the only Lord Wu.
